KEEPING UP WITH THE LECLERCS | Leclerc brothers x sister! reader

—————————————

Pairings: Charles, Arthur, Lorenzo Leclerc x sister! reader (model reader)

Summary: As Arthur and Y/N are on live together, Arthur accidentally spills his guts on Y/N crush on this mystery man, who is this man? And what will her brothers’s reaction be.

Warnings: I’m using meeya dugied’s photos as a reference! But reader has no faceclaim!

Author’s note: WHOO it’s been a while, hope you guys have been well, I just wanted to say Thankyou for being so patient with me, I’ve had a lot going on in my life but just know your requests are in the process of being finalized! I’m the meantime, this is just a little short fic for everyone!

____________________________________________

“Do you think the chicken came first or the egg?”

“….Shut up Arthur”

The boy narrowed his eyes at his twin, the two youngest leclercs were on Y/N’s Instagram live because they were so bored and since then it’s been a blur.

“Y/N who is your favorite brother out of the 3, Lorenzo for sure” she reads out the question and answers it without hesitation.

“Girllll whats up your ass today, did Jo-” before he could say more, the girl quickly covers his mouth, “Shut the fuck up Arthur! I swear I’m never telling you anything again!” She says, pushing his face out of the frame.

“Ouch! See guys this is what happens when you’ve had the fattest crush on this dude named J-” She interrupted him once more.

“Ok everybody! That’s it for this live, Thankyou so much for keeping us entertained and I hope you all have an amazing day! Love you” she says quickly before turning the live off.

“You’re actually such a cunt Arthur” she says as she pushes him again.

“What? It’s not like I said his name” he responds standing up

“it’s not your place Hoe” she responds standing up.

“Whatever girl, talk to the fucking hand” he says raising his hand in the most sassy way possible before walking off.

What in the sassy men apocalypse, she shook it off and just allayed down on the couch, before she got a text.

She rolls her eyes again, “I’m so sick of them” she scoffs.

She smiled at the replies her tweet got, the f1 fanbase has got to be the most creative one yet to exist. Tired from scrolling, she shuts her phone down and decides to rest her eyes. However, her peace only lasted for 20 minutes as her phone rang for a Group FaceTime call. She lets out a loud groan but answers it.

“So Y/N, Tell us who this man” Lorenzo asks.

“Again, no hi, no hello” she responds.

“Y/N I swear!” Charles interrupts her.

“Oh my god, for fucks sake, it’s Jo-” Arthur starts but is immediately interrupted,

“STOP, fine, I’ll text it to you” she says before shooting the groupchat a text.

“Oh Y/N, you know that never ends well” Charles says.

“Says you? Let me ask all your ex girlfriends” she responds in a very snarky way, Charles looked taken aback.

“Ok damn girl, calm down no need to get all violent🙄” he says visibly rolling his eyes.

“Sorry Charlie, i didn’t mean that, if Alexandra and Charlotte are there tell them i love them and that they’re way better than their mans, anyways bye goodnight, have a good trip” she says.

“You too Chérie, hope your photo shoot goes well tomorrow!” Charles says before hanging up, Lorenzo adds to that with “and goodluck with J-”

“OK GOODBYE” she says hanging up, she lets out a sigh and puts her hand on her face. She gets up and does her skincare routine, and goes to sleep.

The next morning, her flight to Milan was very early so she was at the airport by 6.

She hugs Arthur, “Bye tur tur, hope your race testing goes well” he hugs back tight, “you too Y/n/n”

She hugs her mom tightly, “Love you Maman” she squeezes her, Pascale reciprocating the action. “I love you, text me when you land” her mom says, and the young girl nods. She waved one last goodbye to her mom and her brother before boarding the flight.

She makes a quick post on her Instagram before shutting her phone off for her flight.

just read The Happy Throuple and I love it so much, i would love to see more of them whenever you have time, like maybe the internet's reactions and / or the drivers. meeting the parents, baby showers, the bay being born, etc. I just think it's a great fic with lots of potential.

YES!!!!!!! I’m thinking the internet’s reaction is the first half and then the drivers’ reaction, meeting the parents, baby shower/gender reveal, and the baby’s birth will be separate, all of them will be in my Masterlist in the same bullet as “The Happy Throuple”

Nobody Everybody Knows

Pairing: Charles Leclerc x Hispanic/Latina! Reader x Alexandra Saint Mleux

Summary: posting their relationship for everyone to see means that now everyone gets to comment about something they know nothing about

Warning: spelling and grammatical errors

A/N: Y/N faceclaim will ALWAYS be Becky G for social media posts just because I love her. There will be MULTIPLE “chapters” of the happy throuple’s story. For all intents and purposes, all the drivers who live in Monaco hang out outside the paddock except for “adults” like hulkenberg and Bottas. I also changed how Y/N and Alexandra know each other so they met at a party when Alexandra was 19 and Y/N was 18, okay? Okay

Since Charles posted on Instagram that he has another girlfriend and that he’s expecting a child, everyone has opinions. What’s great about Charles is that he disabled the comments, but that doesn’t stop other accounts from talking about their relationship.

queenalex Charles and Alex seem so happy with Y/N,

user19 Y/N is only with them for money

xoxolando doesn’t anyone find it weird that Y/N started dating them AFTER Charles and Alex got together? Like “oh he’s dating my best friend, I want to date him too”

f1wags Y/N M/N L/N was born in 2002, making her younger than Alexandra. Y/N is actually a singer signed with RCA Records

user59 say what you want about Y/N but that outfit ATE

kikafan25 she must not be a successful singer because I have never heard any of her songs.

user54 you’ve heard her songs. All those dilf edits to “a mi me gustan mayores”, that’s Y/N’s song

y/nbae she is so pretty! I love her music and now she’s going to be a mom, I’m happy for her

2 days after Charles posted, Y/N was washing dishes when she received a phone call from her mom.

“Hola mami, qu�� pasó?” Y/N asked.

“Como que ‘que pasó’, tu papá y yo nos enteramos por Despierta America que estás de novia con el piloto ese de fórmula uno y la otra niña, y encima de eso, estás embarazada. La relación va en serio? Sabes que ese muchacho cambia de novia cada 3 años, por dios. Y el bebé? Sigues siendo muy niña para criar a un bebé, por qué no usaste protección? No te eduqué para que salieras embarazada antes del matrimonio. Ni siquiera conozco esos dos, y te va a pedir matrimonio el Chuck ese?” Her mom lectured her. What do you mean ‘what happened’, your dad and I found out on Wake Up America that you are dating that F1 driver and the other girl, and on top of that, you’re pregnant. Is this relationship serious? You know that boy gets a new girlfriend every three year, for god’s sake. And the baby? You are too young to raise a baby, why didn’t you use production? I did not raise you to get pregnant before marriage. I don’t even know those two and is this Chuck guy going to propose?

“Mami, no quería que esto pasara, tuvimos cuidado, te lo juro.” Y/N said. “Estas cosas pasan, lo siento mucho, de verdad.” I didn’t want this to happen, we were careful, I swear. These things just happen, I’m sorry, really

“Bueno, está bien, pero habla con tu papá que él está más enojado que yo, te hablo luego, bye,” Y/N’s mom hung up, Y/N sighed and continued to wash dishes until she felt someone hug her from behind, placing a kiss on her shoulder. Okay, it’s fine, but talk to your dad, he’s angrier than I am, I’ll talk to you later

“Mi reina, of you keep doing that, I’m not going to finish the dishes,” Y/N said. Alexandra turned her around and kissed her lips.

“Then rest, ma papillon, you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t be doing dishes.” Alexandra said, leading her to the couch.

“Have you seen Instagram lately? Everyone’s been talking about me.” Y/N said,

“Yeah, everyone was talking about me too when I first dated Charles. It comes with the territory I guess. We should go shopping!” Alexandra said.

“For what? We won’t know the baby’s gender until it’s 4 or 5 months old. Wait, google it to make sure.” Y/N said. Alexandra pulled out her phone,

“It says 18 to 22 weeks.” Alexandra said.

“Eh, I was close. So what are we going to shop for?” Y/N asked.

“For you! Now that people know we are dating, you get to come with us to events! So we need fancy maternity clothes, cocktail dresses, shoes, purses, this is going to be perfect.” Alexandra said,

On the other hand, Charles was getting calls from other drivers left and right so he decided to have Max, Lando, George, Lewis, Daniel and Alex over at his apartment.

“I ordered pizza, there are drinks in the fridge, I will answer all the questions you have about my relationship.” Charles states, putting Leo on the ground so he could roam around

“So Y/N and Alexandra are together?” Lando asked.

Yes.” Charles answered.

“But you are also together with them?” Lando followed up,

“Yes, that is how a polyamorous relationship works, mate.” Charles said.

“How did you decide to have Y/N join?” Max asked.

“Alexandra and I were dating for a while, sometimes Alexandra would invite Y/N if we were shopping or going out to eat. Sometimes I would be left alone with Y/N and we would hit it off so well, I felt the same thing for her as I felt for Alexandra. One night Alexandra told me the reason why she kept inviting Y/N was because she had a crush on her and I confessed the same to Alexandra. So one day all three of us went to the movies, we told Y/N our feelings, Y/N took time to think about it, and when she said she had feelings for us too, we started taking it slow.” Charles said.

“So the relationship is all about love and not wanting to spice up the relationship?” Daniel asked.

“Nope, all love.” Charles answered.

“Do you even know Y/N’s parents?” Alex asked.

“I do not, they love back in New York.” Charles said.

“Do you think you’re going to marry Y/N and Alexandra and have a polyamorous marriage?” George asked,

“I would like to in the future, I love both of them so much, I have never felt so strongly about anyone.” Charles said.

“For ultrasound appointments, will both of you go with her?” Lewis asked.

“Yes, both of us will go with Y/N, it is more likely that Alexandra goes if the appointment falls on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday during race week.” Charles answered.

“So if Alexandra is doing something, and it’s only you and Y/N, that’s okay?” Lando asked.

“Yes, it’s okay if I’m just with Y/N. It’s okay if I’m just with Alexandra, and it’s okay if it’s just Alexandra and Y/N, it’s alright. Since Alexandra is still studying art history, Y/N is a singer, she is able to with me a lot more and now she Can because our relationship is public.” Charles said.

“Until she hits the 3rd trimester.” Max stated.

“Anyway, our relationship is healthy, we love each other very much.” Charles said, the doorbell rang. “Must be the pizza.”

Charles was glad that his colleagues understood his relationship and didn’t make any crude remarks. He would have to talk to Pierre whenever he goes to Maranello. For the most part, the internet’s reaction was more positive than negative and that makes Charles more than happy.

The End

Hope y’all liked this installment, I am also working on more installments of Meet and Greet if you wanted more of Charles, Y/N, and Vidia

Then there was five.

Pierre Gasly x Leclerc! Reader

Warnings- Swearing(allot of it) , overprotective brothers,childhood games & maybe some kissing?

Summary~ Y/N Leclerc is the third born Leclerc child and was regretting all decisions they had made that day. Why they let Charles drag them along to go clubbing with the rest of the grid and a few extra people,we will never know. But very quickly chaos ensues as most of the drivers get drunk and Y/N realises that their thoughts can be really annoying.

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆

"THAT'S SO FUCKED UP GEORGE,NO!" It was absolute chaos. The entire grid including a few extra people had decided to all go to a club in Monaco during the summer break, however, some people were regretting the decision to let their brother drag them along. And by some people I mean Y/N Leclerc. Don't get me wrong, they loved their brothers company but....this was a bit much.

Zhou had decided to bring up an old game that they used to play as kids;Kiss,Marry,Kill. So naturally, everyone wanted to play. All 30 of them. Like I said earlier,there was some people who weren't on the grid that were invited,as follows: Ollie,Arthur,Jack,Kimi,Lorenzo,Y/N, Logan,Carmen,Lilly and Alexandra. I don't know why Charles invited BASICALLY everyone he knows,but here we are. "Hmmmmm Yuki,"Carmen stared Yuki down "Kiss,Marry,Kill...erm...Pierre, Fernando & Checo."

Silence.

All eyes flicked to Yuki,then to Pierre and Fernando then they landed on Checo.

Still silence.

Then after the longest 20 seconds of their lives, Yuki spoke up. "Kiss Checo,Marry Pierre and Kill Fernando.Sorry Nando!" The reaction was insane,some people trying to shove Yuki into Pierre and some just a bit to stunned to say anything. Now it was Yuki's turn to pick ,"Lando, ki-" Yuki looked over at Lando. He was asleep with a pint of what looked like straight vodka ( it was from truth or dare earlier guys, relax!)in his hand. "Right....okay ,not Lando then. Y/N ,Kiss,Marry,Kill.....Carmen, Arthur or Pierre?" Y/N was shocked. They had known Pierre basically their whole lives,and kinda sorta liked the French driver. But on the other hand, Arthur was their little brother (your older than Arthur but younger than Charles). Your mind had been made." Kiss Pierre,Marry Carmen and Kill Thur." The chorus of people aww-ing didn't seem to end. It was one of the most embarrassing things you had ever done.

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆

The game dragged on into the night and slowly {somehow} morphed into truth or dare. People started leaving,so there was only like 12 of you left,including Lando,who Carlos and Oscar were trying to wake up. And miserably failing.

All you could think about was Pierre,which was unusual for you,as all you could normally think about was Holly Jackson books (seriously her books are incredible check them out). The look he gave you earlier when you said 'Kiss' kept flashing up in your head. It was frustrating you to another level that you couldn't pinpoint what the look was trying to say. Was it a look of disgust or the complete opposite? Fuck knows.

You were abruptly brought out of your train of thought by Max trying to climb on the table, after Ollie and Kimi had said that they thought Max was kinda overrated (sorry fellow Ollie and Kimi stans....they might not make it out of this one). " NO YOU TWO! I AM SUPERIOR! I DON'T CARE IF YO-"

'Clunk.'

You all stared down at Max as he glared daggers at Ollie and Kimi from the floor. "This isn't over you dickheads ,I'm gonna ram you into the wall next season... SO YOU CAN SUCK MY D-" Daniel quickly jumped up and shoved his hand over Max's mouth."Max, mate the kids are only 18 and 19,calm down.Okay, me and Max are leaving now...i am so sorry Oliver and Andrea." Then there was 10.

Ass the night slightly quieted down you couldn't help but steal glances at the French driver, praying that your brothers didn't see you doing it though. As Oscar and Lando (The whole Max,Kimi and Ollie situation woke him up) walked outside for a minute,mainly so Lando didn't throw up because of the vodka , the seating in the booth switched around. Y/N ended up lodged between a surprisingly awake Ollie and a really sober Charles. You tried to look anywhere but next to you,as you were afraid that Charles had seen you looking at the Frenchman earlier. You glanced up to see what unfortunate person had been sat in front of you and your face turned redder than the Monza grandstands. It was Pierre. And he was looking straight at you. Smiling. And winki- oh my god he just winked at you. Your face gew fifty shades darker (if that was possible) as you sweetly smiled back at him. It was times like these that you really wanna just confess your undying love to him. Little did you know, Pierre was having the exact same thoughts.

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆

The night felt like it would never end despite the fact it was only half eleven. "Okay guys,it been fun but I've got to go ,otherwise Rebecca will wonder were I am. Bye!"

Then there was 9.

"Yeah on that note, me and Kimi need to go. It's been a blast though guys!"

Then there was 7.

" I think it's best if I try and get Lando back to like, any bed so he doesn't wake up on the side of the road so ...bye."

Then there was 5.

Just like that five people had left, within the span of three minutes leaving just you,your brothers, Pierre and your thoughts. Which was a terrible match, because Pierre was there which tells your brain to act on the fact he's there,but also stops you from doing anything because all three of your brothers were still there . Your brain was eating itself alive. What to do? Sit in silence ?Ha,no.Act on it of course.

Part 2?

Also I'm so sorry it took so long to post, I tried ages ago when I originally said I would post it and it deleted everything,it was allot longer and with school starting up again and the fact I have currently got like 13 bits of homework waiting to be done is.....yeah. Made it a bit difficult to find a time to do this. Also reading it over, I've only just realised how bad it is so....let's try and keep hate to a minimum :)

“I look at you, and I just love you, and it terrifies me. It terrifies me what I would do for you.” — Alexandra Bracken, Never Fade

cw gender neutral reader, joseph being an exhausted lovesick puppy. they are in love your honor.

Joseph entered the apartment quietly, closing the door with a soft click. He leaned against the worn wood, letting out a deep, weary sigh.

“Joseph?” Your voice, still laced with sleep, called softly from the living room. A smile tugged at his lips as he turned and made his way toward you, his steps gentle.

You were nestled on the couch, wrapped in a cozy throw blanket, with the TV off and a side lamp casting a soft, golden glow. You rubbed your eyes, peeking out from under the blanket.

“Hey, c’mon, let’s get you to bed,” he whispered, moving to scoop you into his arms.

“I’m not even tired,” you yawned, sitting up and stretching your arms. “How was filming today?” You patted the couch cushion next to you, beckoning Joseph with a warm smile and droopy eyes.

Joseph trudged over, sinking into the plush cushion with a heavy sigh.

“Hm, that doesn’t sound good,” you laughed, gently brushing curls from his forehead. He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

“That obvious, huh?” he asked, opening his eyes to meet yours, savoring the feeling of your fingertips tracing soothing patterns along his scalp.

You hummed in agreement, the room falling into a comfortable silence, filled only with the soft symphony of your intertwined breathing and the hum of the refrigerator.

“You didn’t have to wait up for me,” Joseph whispered, guilt pooling in his eyes as he traced a thumb beneath yours. “The couch isn’t for sleeping, y’know.”

You wrapped your hand around his wrist, nuzzling your cheek into his palm. “I know, but I wanted to see you.”

Joseph’s heart ached at the sight of you bathed in the evening glow, the lamp casting a warm halo around you, making you look angelic.

“What am I going to do with you…” His words lost their teasing edge, his mind too fogged with exhaustion to care.

“You getting tired on me, big guy?” you cooed, pressing a soft kiss to his palm before tracing delicate shapes and swirls down his arm. His eyes fluttered shut, head lolling to the side as a muffled groan of pleasure escaped his chest.

You scooted closer, tucking into his side. “The couch isn’t for sleeping, y’know,” you echoed, your laughter a soft melody.

He pinched your side, making you yelp and grab at his mischievous hand. It slipped from your grasp and found its way under your shirt, his fingers grazing your side. Goosebumps erupted across your skin, sending a blissful shiver up your spine.

Joseph opened his eyes, his hand gently petting the curve of your waist. “You gonna carry me to bed, then?” he teased, a dopily contented smile spreading across his face as he relished your reaction.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. We’d both end up with broken backs and sprained muscles before we even made it off the couch.” You patted his chest, your smile knowing and warm.

“Alright, alright,” he laughed, his shoulders shaking as he sat up, pulling you into his lap. With the blanket still wrapped around you, he stood, effortlessly lifting you. “Time for bed.”

As if on cue, your eyes began to droop once more, a yawn rising from your chest. “Great idea.”

I see many people consider Dmitry a redflag LI but to me he's a morally grey character: he finds a strange girl amidst the rift and assigns her a place in the squad instead of, you know, just taking Lane hostage when she's made it clear she's pursuing her own goals and only compels to the squad's decisions because she has to.

I understand why the interrogation episode is icky for many people but for me the devil is in details: Dmitry stops the interrogation because he doesn't want to hurt Lane further, and the whole situation can be seen as a necessary evil from the squad's pov, given Lane's actions. And at the same time, Lane doesn't deserve that shit either: she's all alone in a trust-no-one situation, and now she sees very clearly that the squad is not her friends.

To me that's what moral greyness is: different interpretations of the situation, when you can see motivation of both parties without whitewashing them.

Dmitry's conversation about turning your weakness into your strength adds another facet to his character, just like the stolen babushka gift 😭. I love the way Alexandra shows that he actually cares about Lane through him wanting to give her a chocolate bar or helping her with the work and sacrificing his sleep.

And the soulmatism of their branch is so well done. It's not "your mc is promised to this LI although you'd rather have her killed him in a cold blood" but "yes the situation we found themselves in is fucked up and bleak but at least we have each other because in another universe we'd pass each other by without looking back"

And I love how you can see Dmitry lashing out in the latest episodes, with more and more people in the squad dying, because he's responsible for their lives, he's the leader. And you, as a player, can choose Lane's reaction to his behaviour.

But the thing that truly made me sympathize with him is him telling Lane "It would be sad to lose my humanity while hunting for monsters and become one in other people's eyes. I hope I haven't cross that line yet?.."

That's how you write morally grey characters! 🙌

P.S. His latest CG fucks

i'm shook tbh that some people consider dmitry a red flag LI 😭 like yeah. the interrogation scene was iffy and lane didn't deserve that. but the world has literally gone to shit and this is a man who's been forced by circumstances to blur the lines of his morality for the greater good and the safety of the people around him ??? when we take that and the post-apocalyptic survival-of-the-fittest setting into consideration, plus the fact that lane was sus from day 1 and didn't really make any effort to prove herself trustworthy, the interrogation makes perfect sense

and like you said the morally grey nature to dmitry is the most interesting thing about him especially when it ties into the development of his bond with lane like !!!! with cain there's affinity in their position as outcasts and the apathetic nature they share, suspended above everything, untouched by what otherwise jars everyone else in the squad

but with dmitry their affinity lies in dmitry having a different nature to lane and still being drawn to her despite that, still accepting her to the point where she points a fucking gun at his head and he doesn't even flinch 😭 and doesn't even hold it against her later on like ??? there's so much devotion and unconditional acceptance to it and for me personally as someone who's on the whisper path it's definitely giving "the hero loving the monster and cherishing their blood-soaked hands" kinda dynamic

like it's "human" organic soulmatism like you called it, to balance out the otherworldly ambiguous soulmatism with cain. ugh i can't enough of it

i also love how he's been lashing out too and that not even lane has been exempt from that because he's just under that much pressure. i just adore how every single character has been written with their own role to play in the story, completely independent from lane, and they all get to develop just as much as she does as the story goes on 🥹

(and yes his cgs have been superior, even to cain, since day 1. i will die on that hill)

Leclerc son x Verstappen daughter

Masterlist of the story

Wc: 1100+

Summary: The families are happily spending the holidays. Well one of them is happy, the other has a bit of drama.

A/N: I know almost nothing about Nelson Piquet. His reactions are for the story and I do not know what he thinks of it.The same counts for Kelly. Keep in mind everything is fictional.

2028- Christmas

Winter break had been going great for Charles. He didn't have to leave every week to go to the other side of the world. He could wake up next to his wife, sun shining through the curtains. The sound of snores coming out of the living room from Leo and Jules quietly asleep in the room next to theirs. It was heaven in his eyes.

Charles feels Alex move next to him, trying to get out of the bed, but Charles trows his arm around her body to pull her back. He laughs and escapes her lips as she turns around to face her husband. "Charles, we have to get ready to meet your family." she went with her hand trough his hair, making him smile and kiss her on the cheek

"They can wait five more minutes." Alexandra gave into her husband, knowing that he would just pull back if she tried to leave again. Unfortunately for Charles, Leo started whining, meaning he had to go out. Charles groans and Alex laughs at his antics as she stands up to let Leo in the garden.

He follows her out of the bedroom and walks towards Jules's room. "Bonjoir mon étoile, did you sleep well?" he asks, even though Jules couldn't speak yet. Jules was at the age that he started to brabble a bit more and sometimes he tried to say words. Charles finds it adorable when Jules looks up at him, giggles leaving his mouth as he energetically moves around. He had made it his job to let 'papa' be his first word.

Later that day the family of three entered Pascales home. "Merry Christmas, Maman." Charles says to his mother, placing three kisses on her cheeks. She thanks him before embracing Alexandra in a hug and gives her kisses too. "Merry Christmas everyone." Jules lets out a little giggle from the touch as his grandmother places a kiss on his cheeks.

"There is my favorite nephew," Artur says as he walks up to Jules to give him a hug. Jules lets out a laugh as Arthur tickles him. "Can you give me a high five, give your favorite uncle a high five," The youngest Leclerc brother puts out his hand, but his nephew just walks back to his father. This caused them all to laugh at him.

"he is also your only nephew," Charles tells his younger brother as he picks up his son from the floor. He walks over to his mother to greet her and gives her three kisses on the cheek. "Where is Lorenzo?"

"Him and Charlotte are stuck in traffic, they will be here shortly." She answers her son as she walks over to her daughter to give her a kiss. "Great to see you again. "

Alexandra smiles at the older woman, "We brought tiramisu for dessert. "

¨ You didn't have to do that. We already have so much,΅ the older woman said as she took the tray from her daughter in law and went to put it in the fridge.

"You can never have too many desserts Maman." Arthur says as he picks up a cookie from the table. His mother is quick to pat his hand away and give him a look of disapproval. "Get your hand away and wait for your brother to arrive." Arthur lets out an annoyed puff and goes to sit on the couch.

At dinner later that evening the family of 7 are seated at the dinner table, talking about if Charles and Alexandra were going to put their son into karting.

"If he does, let's hope he doesn't get a rival with his peers like his dad did. Always looking for trouble on and off the track.." Pascale laughs as she remembers her son's attics from his karting career.

"You never know. Maybe Verstappen's child does karting too and they just become the smaller versions of their dads."

"It had been so long ago that Max and I pushed each other off the tracks. But sure, time will tell." Charles says he can only hope that wouldn't happen.

As they continue their conversation, Charles can't help but feel grateful for this moment with his family, surrounded by love and laughter. He knows that these moments are precious and fleeting, with him being away all the time and he's determined to cherish them every step of the way.

It was quite funny moment that the Verstappen's were discussing the same topic in the grand villa in Brazil. Only, it was being spoken about rather poorly. The atmosphere was tense, with the air thick with unspoken emotions. Nelson Piquet had been eyeing his youngest granddaughter lying in her crib with concern.

"Shouldn't you like to try to get a son to continue our legacy?" Nelson Piquet commented, his voice dripping with condescension. "After all, family is everything, isn't it?" He glanced at Max, who was already rolling his eyes in exasperation.

"Sofie can always pick up racing if she develops an interest in it," Max replied, trying to politely steer the conversation away from the sensitive topic. But the older man wasn't having any of it.

"Don't be ridiculous," he said, his tone growing increasingly annoyed. "She's a woman, they don't belong on a race track." He looked at Max with disappointment.

"I never asked for your opinion on her career, so you can just keep your mouth shut," Max shot back, his temper flaring.

Kelly scolded him sharply. "Max, don't talk to my father like that," she said, trying to intervene. But Max was too angry to listen.

"I don't give a fuck if he is your father," he said, his voice rising. "He's a sexist person. If any woman wants to get into motorsport then she does what she wants. None of them asked for your opinion on it." He picked up Sofie and walked towards the door.

"I am just going back to the hotel," he said, as he reached for the door handle. "Merry Christmas and a Happy new year." With that, he walked out of the room, leaving Kelly and her father looking at each other in stunned silence.

Kelly didn't even try to stop him from leaving, but instead walked over to her father and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Don't mind him," she said, trying to calm him. But her father just shook his head, his expression clouded with disappointment and anger. "I never liked him. You could do so much better."

At that moment Penelope walked back into the living room, having gone to the toilet. "Where is Maxy?"

"He decided to leave earlier with Sofie. We will see him tomorrow." Kelly walked over to her daughter, who looked confused at the people in front of her, feeling the tension from miles away. She just dropped the topic, not wanting to steer anything more. She would have to ask Max.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next chapter will be better because Sofie and Jules will be older. I just giving some background chapters.

dark remains dark remains dark remains dark remains (spoiler alert)

my live reaction + ramble

GRIHERFGIUSEFHIUSVRIUGFESBUIVIUBGBIUVBVBJV

———

first off, live reaction, copy and pasted:

DARK REMAINNSS IGHGHGHGHGHGHRUTHGHFHFHF

okay they changed the actor for lizzy but that’s okay that’s okay

a little off-put by the voice-over for the stuff between songs but that’s okay

MATPAT SONG MATPAT SONG HE SINGS AFTON SINGS I’M OSIDBGGJKFKHHKJHGKUDFHGKUBHKUFDBHFKDBJDNKJDBNKJDNJ

“… or you can marinate to death in a trash can. Not even I can make that sound cool.”

GLITCHTRAP ISN’T INDESCTRUCTIBLE RAAAAAG

also the afton angst is wild not him singing about how insane he is

PUPPET TO THE RESCUE AUGHHHHH I MISSED POOKIE

“UNCLE WILLIAM REALLY LIKES RABBITS” THINK LIZZY TIHKN HONEY

also rip alexandra we loved you o7

i love just how non-canon this entire mess is this is an entirely different fnaf universe like dsaf

like alexandra and eggs (miyh and gz) sharing the Benedict last name, lizzy (wol) being afton’s niece but also being siblings with eggs, this is all such a web (of lies) i love itttt

afton being a psycho >>>>> “furry, one eye, RAAGAGAHAHAGFGDHEHAHSGD-👹”

LET’S GO SECOND CHAINSAW DEATH WOOOHOOOOOOOOO

NOOOO YOU CANNOT LEAVE ME ON THAT CLIFFHANGER FUCKT YOTURHUIUGIUBIRSLTgzre

———

anyway now my after-thoughts

dark remains (the song) actually slaps, i am so so glad they finally let matpat go true theater kid and actually sing (although his acting is genuinely amazing, he in actually one of my favorite aftons) (I’VE RUN ALL OUT OF PATIENCE TO TAKE IT ON THE CHIN, SO NOW THE WORLD IS PAYING FOR MY SINS is a banger fucking lie)

his part jumpscared me because he was the last person i expected to sing, also he sings a lot lower than i thought he would

still cackling about how he’s still on board considering that this is literally as divergent from actual fnaf as something like dsaf, but that’s the magic of it, it’s completely it’s own story

i didn’t really like how random encounters did voice overs for some of the speaking scenes but then the others weren’t voice overs? i liked it voice over-less but be consistent 🙏🙏

i really hope they bring back older characters for the last few parts, i wanna see eggs (cg5), nate, mark, and aj/purple guy in one room (yes eggs and aj are dead but it’s fnaf let’s be so honest)

actually speaking of the timeline is so confusing - is blood and tears and everything after that a prequel to the original fnaf musical? because isn’t the pizzeria burnt down and the animatronics work at the news place? i feel like this has been mentioned before and i’m stupid enough to forget (if this is true, we’re not getting any aj, nate, or mark content as their characters)

that would make aj’s death the second chainsaw death rather than the board director’s death

okay yeah no everything being a prequel would make sense since bb dies as well in the original musical, same with springtrap (btw poor guy didn’t deserve to be marinated #justiceforspringtrap)

the interview with alexandra was actually so sick she genuinely looks so asylumy, rest in pieces bro (i need to rewatch monster in your head)

lizzy bonding with bb tho 🫶🫶 wait until she sees what happens to him in the musical

that technician disguise was extremely realistic guys you guys are awesome (pls don’t hang yourself)

also the fucking “are you ready for freddy” and the stuff we’d pull with fnaf movie memes was amazing

that cliffhanger wants me dead and i’m not forgiving random encounters until they release the next part

time to go rewatch all the musicals and also the bloopers because those are the best thing on earth

[no-where-new-hero]

cautiously enjoying we have always lived in the castle (2019), although it's much more just a gothic movie instead of a shirley jackson adaptation. alexandra daddario is doing a decent job of connie's duplicity of fragility and cunning, and taissa farmiga is fantastic at merricat's sublime weirdness, though unfortunately sebastian stan is somehow not quite tacky enough to make me loathe charles to the correct degree. i know it's hard to do intense pov in a naturally third-person movie, but i do think that it's the responsibility of the director to elicit the reactions of the original, and this is not quite doing it

Lore (part 1/2)!

Santiago Corvus ( Bernie Corvos) Story

Born to the Rich Corvus Family, Bernie, or Right now known as Santiago Corvus, was raised to take over the family business of Wine and Crow Messengers. He followed the role he was meant to play for a few years till he found himself intrigued with chemistry and alchemy. In secret he studied books on the magics of the world. He finally found a passion in life that he wished to pursue.

Soon his parents found out his secret and disapproved of his dreams to become a rogue scientist. After long arguments that lasted for weeks they told Santiago that he had to leave if he wanted to pursue this ‘insane’ dream of his, and he did.

He left at the age of 15, with nothing but his books and some pocket money. For a few months he lived on the streets till one day he met a lady named Alexandra who was a fellow scientist, not exactly a rogue scientist but a scientist,who offered him to stay with her. He was grateful and started to get on his feet.

They lived together for a few years in peace. Alexandra allowed him to use her laboratory for chemistry, he did do some chemistry but also worked on Alchemy in secret. He worked through many nights while taking notes on what he learned and what he wished to improve in his mixing.

Santiago saw Alexandra as mother for taking him in, but he was still distrustful to show her his work because he thought she would kick him out. Finally at the age 19 he brought up the courage to show her his work that he was proud of.

But, the moment he showed her his books and potions she was shocked and terrified. Santiago panicked at her reaction and tried to stop her from leaving. In a rash reaction he tried to show off what he could do but instead he dropped a bunch of chemicals and caused a great explosion.

He was hit by the explosion on his back and soon the building caught on fire. He was on the ground from the explosion and developed burns. He tried to pull himself up, but he couldn’t from shock and he called out to Alexandra for help.

She was gone, he looked up to see she had left him in the burning building alone. He felt betrayed and heartbroken.

Slowly he crawled out the building before it collapsed. He laid on the ground crying from pain, not only physically but emotionally. He was abandoned again by someone he trusted.

Later on the news of a rogue scientist burning a building down and Santiago went into hiding trying to figure out what to do. He thought for a long while, and finally decided.

He was going to give up being a scientist. He blamed science for everything he lost. Changing his name and deciding to study medicine he started his journey to become a doctor.

He refused to make relationships of any kind and became cold hearted.

He believed trusting others is only for idiots, and never got along with his fellow colleagues while studying. In the end it came with a positive effect, he was the top of his class and became versatile in many subjects.

Finally graduating he worked at a clinic for a few months, but one day everything changed. He got a job offer to work as a doctor for society. At first he refused but after many calls and raises in pay he agreed.

He soon arrived to see he was going to work for The Society for Arcane Science. He immediately regretted his decision and tried to leave. But he realized he already signed the contract so he couldn’t leave even if he tried.

After that he officially became the Doctor of The Society for Arcane Science. He does monthly checks on each scientist, yes monthly, in his words “ if I could I would do it daily because how reckless those damn fools can get”.

Bernie Corvos( Mf couldn’t think of a different last name so he just changed a letter) soon became a permanent resident of the society against his will! :)

( he is secretly growing to love the place)

If ya read all this, congrats, wow, I really appreciate it :D

Thank you for reading

Soon Ales story will be told!

For the plot bunny ask game: Darren Criss + Barbie (2023) please??

@dancingsunflowers-ocs ✨💛✨

Oh, now this one’s fun (😂). Thanks so much for it, Alexandra!! (And I suppose I’ll tag @come-along-pond and @auxiliarydetective since they also have Barbie OCs. <3)

NAME: Ken.

LOVE INTEREST: Allan.

SUMMARY: In a land full of Kens and Barbies, Allan is the one deviation from the crowd, the one resident of Barbieland who does not fit into either group of people - and that is the exact reason why one particular Ken loves him so much. After living his entire existence - and he’s not even sure how long that’s actually been - in one place, doing the same thing day after day after day, he has slowly begun to spend all his time with the awkward redhead, wanting a break from the endless repetition of hanging out with the other Kens, and over time, that has turned to genuine, heart-fluttering love. The only problem is that Allan doesn’t seem to realize that Ken loves him - but when the head Barbie and Ken leave Barbieland for The Real World and Ken comes back and turns Barbieland into something unrecognizable, circumstances might arise for feelings to finally be confessed.

OTHER INFO:

Boyfriend for Allan, yay!!

He’s not exactly one of the older Kens in terms of when he was made, but his whole aesthetic and appearance is based on the fifties, so he uses fifties and forties slang a lot and it’s really cute when he does.

Basically he kind of went through a smaller version of what Stereotypical Barbie does, going every day is the same and I don’t think I like it anymore, but his reaction, rather than leaving Barbieland, is to just start hanging out with Allan since he’s the only one who doesn’t fit into the Ken-and-Barbie mould. Allan doesn’t really know how to react to this at first, but the two of them become friends after a while, and eventually Ken falls in love with him.

The only one besides Allan and Weird Barbie to not join the other Kens in controlling the Barbies, because he’s just like “What the heck are you guys doing?”. Absolutely thrilled when Stereotypical Barbie comes back and helps to fix it, and also tries to escape Barbieland alongside Allan and fights alongside him when they’re almost stopped.

Finally gets to confess to Allan and kiss him after Barbieland goes mostly back to normal, and they’re such a cute couple! All of Barbieland absolutely ships them.

send me a fandom and a faceclaim/love interest and i’ll make an oc!!

The Puritanical Eye

An absolutely amazing article that discusses many observations I've had on the direction of mainstream media, and the reaction of audiences to mainstream media, over the past few decades. A choice quote:

The current state of cultural and material decline plays an important role in the shift toward Puritanism in media and art, in consumer appetite, and in the political posture of the State. That is to say, with the compounding crises we are bombarded with (everything from climate disaster to rampant racialized police violence to genocide) as a part of our daily lives under late capitalism, the need for escape, and indeed, the need for that escape to be completely unchallenging and non-confrontational, has become imperative. Moreover, as control over our own material realities becomes less and less feasible, the last lone place we believe we can exercise agency is within the landscape of that which we consume. This has resulted in the consuming public approaching all media and art with a moral imperative — that which we consume must be perfectly virtuous, sanitized of all problematic or complicated ideas and depictions, because it has become the stand-in for our very realities, our very political action as citizens; consuming has become our praxis.

I also love this takedown:

In 2022, The New Yorker organized a roundtable of critics tasked with examining the absence of sex scenes in mainstream Hollywood cinema. Paradoxically, despite The New Yorker’s critics expressing a longing for sex scenes in films, their stance is not too dissimilar from that of those audiences who reject such scenes today. For example, on the sex in Verhoeven’s Benedetta, Alexandra Schwartz says, “It felt superimposed, like a point was being made rather than it being anything integral to the movie”. Words that seem to confirm what Verhoeven has asserted about the drift towards Puritanism in American cinema today, and its indifference or impatience toward the kind of stories and images that have always interested him throughout his career. [...] The issue is that the presence of sex that is not easily digestible and sanitized for these viewers, sex that can not be swallowed whole or viewed as morally correct in some way, is therefore automatically seen as “anti-art”, as without having meaning, as alienating.

The article ultimately states that this Puritanical backlash against "morally impure" art is the final solidification of capitalist commodification, rendering the body consumable once any challenging or uncomfortable elements are sanded off. What concerns me most is how so many of the voices crying out against "degenerate art" today are from young people.

I expect old, conservative fuddy-duddies to espouse such reactionary stances. What are the youth up to today? The chief virtue of young people is their collective anti-establishment bent, capable of challenging the entrenched status quo. Yet I now see many young people, self-professed left-wing radicals, who joyfully and with earnest energy attempt to enforce the mainstream capitalist conception of art via policing morality. It's like Squid Game or Hunger Games (a lot of Game titles): Works that ostensibly challenge the injustices of the capitalist/entertainment system, but which are themselves mass-produced, mass-appeal, mass-marketed works of media.

The independent nature of the internet wrested a significant chunk of creative control from big studios, and much of the most original and avant garde artistic endeavors being made today are made by a single person or small group of people in some niche online corner: the videos of Jon Bois, Andrew Hussie's Homestuck, and web fiction similar to those I highlighted in my previous post, to name only a few.

Yet if the people, not even those in power but random online people gathering with enough numbers, are going to start inflicting moral artistic imperatives on each other even outside of government or big studio influence, what is the point?

This issue extends even past the moral. Simply look at the financial state of many artists and authors online who require Patreon donations for financial security, or the YouTube video creators subjected to the whims of the almighty algorithm. These creatives are forced to generate content of certain popularly-appealing specifications at a certain (usually accelerated) rate in order to remain afloat. Though YouTubers at least have the excuse of being under Google's big business yoke, those relying on Patreon are being forced to dance like grinder monkeys simply at the behest of their readership.

Researching RoyalRoad prior to posting Cleveland Quixotic, I often saw reviews of popular works that described the work being a "Patreon Trap"; i.e., the author constantly outputs content but the story only ever moves at the most glacial of paces, allowing for a constant stream of monthly donations as readers are strung along expecting something to finally happen. The term "Patreon Trap" denotes it's as much misery for the reader as it is for the writer. Yet, the practice continues. And so many of these webfics turn into million-word monstrosities. For all the hand-wringing about capitalism, the systems it inflicts upon people, and its propensity to push cheap and valueless consumption, when free from big business control, why do we only inflict systems potentially even more insidious practices that are even more conducive to valueless content on ourselves?

Another great quote from the article:

Indeed, the market asserts that what we’ve loved before we’ll love again, and that not only will this recursive posture lead to certain profit, but the halo of nostalgia that comes along with it will generate an extra boost in capital to boot. ​​The drive to capitalize on the childhood favorites of those who now have spendable income and drive a large portion of the market means that most of our media is based on children’s artifacts from 30 years ago, and franchises originally made for children.

The phenomenon of nostalgia described here is possibly also a byproduct of the eradication of the avant garde. If there are no artists who are capable of pushing contemporary tastes in new directions, even if imperfectly at first only to be refined later, then contemporary tastes will simply continue in a state of inertia, recycling "what made me happy in the past" (nostalgia) and emphasizing the conservative and reactionary nature of most media.

Anyway, read the full article, there are many more insights I didn't touch on in this post.

(sorry for the tags but I need an opinion about this-)

“I love her”

How many times did you heard that words? How many different reactions did you had? Many, maybe to many for you to be considered everytime a girl impossible to not love. You knew that he would never love you, but sometimes you wished that the things could go different, after all you already ended in a novel, like your favourite Fl from other books, becoming a Fl too, a beautiful and lovely princess named 'Odette Alexandra de von Lux', with long, straight, soft brown hair and two breathtaking blue eyes, so you were quite sure that since you were reborn you could have your happy ending, but the destiny didn't agree with you, after all you were just a mere ornament to the perfect picture, a plaything for a stronger force that wanted to get entertained for a while and if you failed in your job then you would be simply throw away for another plaything, and so you ended to reborn in the same story over and over, so many times that you had almost forgot the name of the original novel, so many times that you were able to know every reaction that people would get at every events, words and actions. You tried after the second time in the book to change the ending, to get with someone else, and you had done it, you were happy, you died from old age with a lovely husband and children. But when you opened your eyes you were again in your infant body, that took you to try to change ending again, finishing with a woman, but still the same story. You had even tried to kill yourself, to get execute and in any other ways, but nothing: in the end you would always return to the infant body of the FL you possessed. It was becoming annoying for you, always trying to change everything, trying to get another ending, trying to just disappear. And the saddest thing was that after your two thousand life, you felt in love, for truly with a man. He changed role and position in every life but the name was always the same: 'Enric de la Nur'. You met him when he was a commander of the imperial knights, but he refused your love in that life so you tried again and again but nothing worked with him, he was always destined to love another woman, to die in front of you for her. You tried truly everything and every romance trope you knew for win his heart but nothing, he would always love and die for the original villainess 'Claudine von Fivl'. In one life you even ended with her as partner, it was a nice experience, but still he continued to die for her in front of you, making all of your efforts unless. You could remember all the memories in your lives you had with him, you even dedicated songs you could remember, only some parts, from the modern world you were once part from but then were nothing if he always forgotten them at the start of the cycle again.

You smiled, a perfect fake smile you got used to do in your past lives, and put your hands together at your chest, acting all happy and bubbly, hiding your tears behind your blue eyes

“Congratulations for your engagement with her then Enric! I bet she will make the best duchess of de la Nur that has ever seen!”

You said faking happiness looking at the couple in front of you, looking at how happy they looked, at how Claudine was holding her pregnant belly, while some words of an old song you didn't remember completely, got in your mind, something about swearing eternal love and at the fact that the people survived to a war, and at those thoughts a nostalgic smile appeared on your face while a lonely tear ran down your face, because in the end you always survived and vowed love, but never lived.

“I vowed I would always be yours...”

[amaliaofnassau]

I can’t find the video anymore to show you but it’s not like Felix is having a green eyed monster moment and pouting, however there is something about his reaction, IMO while he was clapping that doesn’t seem like someone who is very happy for his brother. Guillaume, Steph, MT, Henri, Sébastien were practically all red from laughing and smiling. You can sense the love and support/proud feeling just by watching. Louis, Alexandra and Nicolas were on the other side so we didn’t see their faces… it’s odd because there’s rumours that Steph and Claire don’t get along and aren’t close and just tolerate each other. There were screenshots of them giving dirty looks to each other when they first married in.

really?????? Why do i never know these things ? Do you think this could be a reason they do not live in Lux? Give me all the tea pls, i‘m desperate for good gossip
