#max rant

[ithappensoffstage]

I am genuinely so worried for all the young horny dykes going into adulthood thinking there's something "problematic" / "wrong" with them for being horny because fucking tiktok lesbians think any horny dyke content is "male gaze fetishistic"

You know what? Let’s talk about this, because as a medical student and as a fan of multiple sports in which athletes get head injuries, I have quite a bit to say.

First of all, using anyone’s health issues as a “gotcha” is not making the point you think it is. From everything I know about Lewis Hamilton in years and years of following the sport, he would be ashamed to see one of his fans trying to make such a ridiculous and frankly apathetic argument.

Professional sports have a long history of letting athletes’ health fall by the wayside in pursuit of wins — blaming the people suffering health issues really is not the way to go about fixing a systemic problem that extends beyond Formula 1.

Blame Formula 1 and the FIA for not having stringent concussion protocols in place. Blame Red Bull and the medical personnel for not being as through as they probably should have. But do not blame Max Verstappen who was very much the victim in this.

I really hope that one day all fans (and especially fans with huge social media platforms) can learn to be more empathetic and remember that all drivers are people too.

I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️

one thing i see often about movie cherik specifically is people assuming erik is staunchly anti-telepathy but this is simply not true. there are multiple times when erik tells charles to stay out of his head, yes, but these are all moments when he is exceptionally angry. we know erik likes that charles thinks there’s good in him, and we also know he disagrees. he tells charles to stay out when he believes his anger will make charles see his true nature.

but there are also moments where he welcomes charles inside his mind. when they train in first class, charles asks “may i” and wiggles his fingers, and erik agrees without hesitation despite having no idea what charles plans to do. he trusts him. multiple times throughout the prequel movies, when he is without his helmet, he brings up the fact that charles could make him do whatever he wishes. he is joking, but the fact that he can joke about it at all shows just how deeply he trusts him. he never shows disgust or mistrust towards charles ability- in fact his whole fight is that no one should have to hide their mutation

even when he puts the helmet on the first time, he says “sorry charles, it’s not that i don’t trust you” he simply knows that he is disappointing him- knows that without the helmet, charles would be able to stop him, but also knows he wouldn’t, and is therefore saving them both from the what ifs when he chooses to wear it

tldr; erik never actually had a problem with charles inside his head! and it drives me crazy when that’s the whole basis of fics even though erik trusts charles more than he has ever trusted anyone else from the very moment they meet

Can I have that shoulder size rant as well, whenever you feel up to it

Okay, hi, hello, I've finally gotten around to this, and this spiral isn't nearly as insane as the hands spiral, but it is a spiral nonetheless

Once again, possibly research bias, possibly delusion, but you can't say you don't see it in these pictures, even with the suits you can see Charles' shoulders are just a tiny bit wider:

And okay, let's keep in mind that they're extreme sports athletes, their bodies are changing all the time, but listen: Charles' biceps? Amazing. Charles' biceps compared to Max's? Absolutely useless, look at this:

But shoulders???

Lie to me and tell me you don't see this:

Idk, I feel like Max is just all tits and biceps and his shoulders are just kind of there.

Charles' shoulders are a little more than just there...

Like listen, I don't think we talk enough about Charles' shoulder to waist ratio, guys, this man is triangular

He's the shape of a dorito

Just look at them, Max is all pecs and biceps, and Charles obviously has a great everything, he looks like he lives at the gym, but he's all shoulders

Like not to be dramatic here, but Max is just so Venus de Milo where Charles is just straight up Atlas, like not to spiral into poetry, but he could carry the world on those shoulders (aka his world aka max)

And okay, maybe I'm seeing things, maybe I'm making shit up to suit the image of them I have created in my head, but every time someone raises an eyebrow at me saying Charles could easily pick Max up istg you have not looked at him

There's just this idea of them that we've created as a fandom where Max is so much bigger and stronger than Charles as part of that normal bottom Charles agenda, which is totally fine of course, let's not yuck anyone's yum, but I feel like we forget that he actually isn't that much smaller

Like according to google for this year's stats, Max's current numbers are 1.81m/5' 11'' height and 72kg/158lb weight

Charles' are 1.80m/5' 10'' height and 69kg/152lb weight

All Max has got on him is 1 centimetre and 3kgs. That's a height difference the width of my pinkie finger and a weight difference less than that of a six pack of soda cans. That's actually nothing.

I'm so tired, I'm so so tired.

Watching TV shows has become the most tiring thing in this dystopian, late-stage capitalistic hellscape.

It doesn't matter how much we love those shows, how much we talk about them, how much we promote it online. Big streaming services will just cancel them on a Friday night and then let them slowly fall into oblivion. If by SOME MIRACLE the show doesn't get cancelled after the first season, it'll just decline over the years, some crazy writer will cook up a poorly written plot, or they'll just lose interest in the project and then leave the fans in the trenches.

Big corporate streaming services just think that views are gonna materialize out of thin air??? They barely promote their new shows and they DEMAND high views just to let them keep going? It's THEIR JOB to promote shows, but obviously they couldn't care less, they only care about money, and they leave the promoting job to the fans which is batshit insane if you ask me.

Streaming services were supposed to be the solution, the chosen one if you will, but they turned out to be the villains.

Owning a movie or a show is now absolutely impossible because God forbid they release DVDs anymore. Streaming services will just randomly DELETE their cancelled shows and movies from their platforms. Fans are now supposed to be PR teams for Netflix, HBO, Prime and whatever other stupid streaming apps out there because they couldn't be bothered to,,, idk,,, do their job and promote their own shows!? They're literally acting like villains.

It feels dystopic really.

I know I probably sound like a person yelling at a cloud but it's starting to become exhausting.

And I know that there are far worse things out there, that there are more important matters to focus on, but I'm so tired.

They're killing art. There are so many people out there that put all their love and all their passion and skills into creating amazing shows that SO MANY other people love and they feel represented by, but they don't care.

This is literally my last straw.

They're killing art with their greed.

[wishfuldivine]

I honestly do feel for them. They deserve so much better. Max punching the steering wheel after that disastrous 6.2 seconds pitstop.

Them after the race. They look so fucking done with everything.

How incompetent must you be, Red Bull?

[neuroticboyfriend]

shoutout to the people who are angry and resentful. shoutout to the people who don't know who to trust or what trust even means. shoutout to the people who want to give up but keep going anyway. your effort and struggle does not go unseen, and you are not alone.

[logansargey]

I think the thing about Max and Daniel is the fact that Daniel is the exact opposite of what Max was used to in life. Max grew up with Jos, a man who would constantly belittle him and make him seem less than what he actually is. Then comes Daniel Ricciardo, a man who's confident in himself and always laughing. A man who did so many things to make Max laugh. Daniel never really thinks about what other people think of him, he's like a bird that just spreads his wings and let's the wind direct him.

And that's what Max needed at that point in his life. Max was like a parrot locked in a cage, repeating the insults his father said, to himself. People would constantly say Max couldn't achieve anything and redbull was making a mistake, but Daniel didn't. He saw what Max was and what Max will be. He made Max happier and free. Imagine if Max and Daniel never met bro.

Funny how whenever it comes to a wlw ship ppl always have a valid reason as to why we can't ship two women. Or a canon fact as to why we can't ship a certain ship. It never fails. 

"You can't ship swanqueen bc Regina is Emma's grandma (she is not) / they are canonically straight" 

"You can't ship bishova bc in the comics Yelena is aroace" 

"You can't ship supercorp bc Kara loves Mon-el / they are both straight" 

"You can't ship redbeauty bc belle and rumple are true love" 

"You can't ship wandanat bc Wanda and Natasha are straight and Wanda loves Vision / they are both straight" 

"You can't ship jemily bc JJ is married and straight" 

"you can't ship elmax because El loves Mike and Max loves Lucas / they are both straight"

"you can't ship ronance because Nancy loves Jonathan and is in a relationship with him and she's straight"

Honestly, the list is endless. 

It doesn't matter what we ship, it won't change your dear comic, or show, or movie canon. 

It's funny how their argument usually is that we shipping those ships - and many others - will erase their canon / representation or whatever, but they don't think twice before wanting to erase ours.

They have no right at all to tell us what we can or cannot ship. 

Being in fandom should be fun, something to connect with others who like the same thing as we, not a fucking war all the time about everything

Shipping swanqueen won't change the canon that Emma married Killian

Shipping redbeauty won't change the canon that belle stayed with rumple until the end

Shipping supercorp won't change the fact that Kara loves Mon-el

Shipping bishova won't change the fact that in comics Yelena is aroace

Shipping wandanat won't change the fact that Wanda loves Vision

Shipping jemily won't change the fact that JJ married Will and have 2 kids with him

There's no reason other than lesbophobia to attack every wlw ship so much all the time. It doesn't matter what your "excuse" is

GIVE ME CONTROL OF S2 DONT BE SHY I DONT BITE PUT YOUR FINGERS IN MY ENCLOSURE I DONT BITE

[botto-b-bobbs]

Max Jagerman is easily Starkid's best villain of all time. He has the charisma of Aladdin, the sheer insanity of Sweet Tooth, and the genuine horror of Wiggly. The fact that he came for Richie and Ruth (as well as beat up Peter) right when they were starting to feel happy and accepted is emblematic of the worst parts of bullying, being people tearing you down for their own amusement after you've started to feel confident about yourself. And even in these scenes and the general heartbreak of knowing that all this could have been avoided in so many ways, he's absolutely hilarious and completely insane. He's like if you took an average fraternity pledgemaster and made him funny.

SORRY I JUST NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE ABSOLUTELY UNGODLY AMOUNTS OF EMOTIONAL DAMAGES THIS DEALT ME

Because like. That's Diego right here. Diego was the one who teached that to Mia.

And she went in to teach that to Phoenix.

Imagine how Godot must feel, that the man he holds responsible for his lover's death is now applying one of the things he taught her.

Imagine how he must feel, seeing Phoenix smile like he used to, like she used to. Imagine how he must feel, hearing him tell Maya on the other side of the courtroom, "We have to smile because no one but us believe in our client's innocence. We have to smile no matter how bad it gets."

AUGH. I AM SICK.

AUGH

Okay i usually don’t speak on stuff but the way I’ve seen some people act about Max and Kelly having a baby is actually sad.

I know she is not very liked and I’m not the biggest fan of her either-however that is no reason to wish harm on a person who is already a mother and expecting another child.

People commenting under her post to “Save” max, calling her a ‘baby trapper’ and all of the nasty things I’ve seen on Twitter is ridiculous.

We know nothing about these people besides what they choose to share and what is put of them online, some people need to realize they are not apart or involved in drivers or athletes REAL everyday lives.

And as for Max ‘needing saved’ I hate to break it to y’all but he’s a 27 year old grown man. If he didn’t want to be with Kelly he’s had plenty of opportunities to leave and separate.

And for the ‘baby trapping’ again I hate to break it to yall but it take two to tango, and as a grown man who’s also an uncle to three, a bonus dad, and knows how biology works he knew all the risks of not using protection!

Anyways that’s all I have to say, wishing the best for their little bean.

Ps. If you don’t like what I’m saying then scroll and don’t come back!!

i love that every weekend, f1 does something fans hate, max speaks out against it candidly and loudly, and all his haters are like “can’t believe i’m agreeing with him but—”. Like hate him all you want in general, idgaf, but surely you’ve reached a point where you can recognize that max just wants quality racing at interesting, competitive tracks with passionate fans who care about the sport more than the elitist performative celebrity showy bullshit around it. max loves f1 and wants it to be the best version of itself, and i don’t get how people still act shocked that they agree with him when it happens week after week. he’s probably the loudest and most consistent advocate for what most fans want races to be.
