Alex Volkov (Twisted love) 🤝 Noah slade (Throttled)

Same person, different shit

[xoxoskai]

In honor of Throttled’s three-year anniversary, here are some Slade family head cannons!

Noah does the cooking in the house. 

Maya’s responsibility is to read out the recipe he’s making. 

Noah always participates in Maya’s vlogs when she asks and threatens asks everyone else with him to do it as well. 

Maya realizes she gained 10K followers overnight when she posted an Instagram story with Noah walking around shirtless behind her in the frame. 

Shirtless Noah is then banned in the household. 

Maya’s parents favor Noah over both Santiago and Maya, and Noah never stops flaunting it. 

Noah watches soap operas with his mother-in-law and does not stop talking about the plotline for days. 

Whenever they fight, Maya retaliates by wearing Santiago’s number again. 

Noah’s equivalent to sleeping on the couch during fights is hanging at Santi’s place till he gets kicked out to go “make up with his wife”

Occasionally, Maya is the third wheel in Noah and Santiago’s bromance. 

After retiring, Noah only comes back to Bandini as Team Principal after James Mitchell retires from the post. 

Having Liam and Sophie as neighbors means lots of joint dinner parties, festival celebrations, emergency midnight crisis contacts and accidental witnessing of things like - 

Noah and Maya witnessing Liam and Sophie trampoline jumping into their pool from the roof. 

Liam and Sophie watching Noah discuss the latest soap opera in heavy detail over barbeque with a full outline of the characters, plot twists and the villains (Sophie doesn’t know but Liam asks about the channel and the time it airs after dinner). 

Because of his issues with his parents, Maya is first anxious to tell Noah that she’s pregnant. 

Noah bursts into tears with happiness when she does tell him though. 

Maya’s cravings make Noah a professional chef who sometimes races. 

Noah tries to stop Maya from travelling with him and only allows her to do it till her second trimester. 

Maya never tells Noah, but she thinks he looks hot carrying a baby bag filled with essentials. 

Noah is on the podium when Maya’s water breaks. 

Maya is carried by Noah to the car with Santi and Jax clearing out the way. 

The two hours Maya is in labor are the most excruciating of his entire life and he hates that he agreed to let her be present at the race where so many things could have gone wrong. 

Noah cries when the Doctor tells him his wife and son are both in good condition. Noah cries harder when he holds Marko for the first time. 

Marko has the most loving and doting parents in the world, the best grandparents and the coolest uncle.

Marko develops a love for racing at a very early age.

Unlike his own father, Noah lets Marko take it at his own pace. He is proud of his son and even more proud that they love the same sport, but he does not want to be controlling and obsessive.

Maya loves setting up playdates with Sophie’s twins the moment she finds out about Marko’s little crush. 

Initially, Marko chooses his mother’s birthday date as his car number.

He is offered a contract from Bandini at the age of 20. Noah takes a backseat from being the Team Principal, becomes a strategist instead.

Tio Santi is his go-to person for everything. When his parents come off as overbearing? Sleepover at Tio Santi’s. Love advice for a girl’s he crushed on his whole life? Tio Santi. How to bail him from trouble without letting his parents know? Tio Santi. 

Marko is a vivid reader after he borrows Stephen King's books from Liam one time. He also takes suggestions from Sophie about the romance books her daughter is currently into.

When Maya finally conceives their daughter, Noah nearly passes out from hearing the news.

When Baby Slade is born, no one loves and dotes on her like Marko does. Whatever she wants, she will get. 

A 12-year age difference means Marko is very protective of her. 

Baby Slade is fawned over by her father and spoiled rotten by both the Slade men. 

When she starts pre-school, Noah is a rare father in the hordes of mothers trying to get his wailing daughter to go inside. 

Noah does not notice all the women fanning themselves when his daughter rushes into his arms but Maya having already witnessed this during Marko’s preschool does after which Papa Slade is banned never to pick his daughter up alone.

Maya sings her daughter to sleep in spanish most nights.

Baby Slade follows everything her older brother does -

Starts writing with her left hand because “Koko” does. 

Wants her hair styled like Koko’s.

Wants to race as well as Koko (cue heartbroken Noah).

When her date for prom does not show up, Marko flies in on the eve of a Grand Prix to take her and flies her out for his race later the next day. 

The older she gets, the more she teases her brother about his one-sided love. 

They are openly proud of each other’s achievements; he posts about the school awards she’s won on his stories, and she always keeps tracks of her big brother’s races. 

Maya loves how they are as close as Santi and her. 

Her first boyfriend has to be escorted out of their home, sniffing and on the verge of tears, by an apologetic Maya thanks to the Slade men drilling him incessantly. 

After which Noah and Marko have to earn the youngest Slade's affection back and ask for forgiveness not less than a hundred times.

Tio Santi is her favorite adult and like her older brother, she loves calling him her superhero. 

Both Slade siblings are fluent in atleast 3 languages. Their motto is - Spanish, sexy and Slade.

No matter how old they get, Noah still calls Marko “monkey” and his daughter “princess”

No matter how old they get, the Slade children never not love how involved, cherished and loved their parents make them feel. 

No matter how old they get, Noah and Maya still dance in the kitchen to soft music with dimmed lights constantly reminding each other how loved they are and how there is no other place they’d rather be. 

THIS WAS A LOT LONGER THAN I PLANNED FOR IT TO BE AND BY THE END OF IT I DIDN’T PLAN TO GET SO EMOTIONAL. THIS SERIES MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AND I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS SO MUCH THAT IT IS OVERWHELMING AT TIMES

✩🏎️📸Review:

This book got me into F1 romance and I’m never looking back! 

“Throttled” follows Noah Slade, Formula 1 royalty, and Maya Alatorre, the sister of his biggest rival. Their efforts to avoid each other throughout the season become futile when press tours, sponsor events, and black-tie galas spark a forbidden attraction. Developing feelings for each other was not part of the plan, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to stay apart. 

When I say I am obsessed with this book, I mean it. At one point I had to get a composition notebook so I could write down my favorite pages and excerpts so that I could reread them over and over again. I honestly wish I had picked this up sooner because I was giggling, swooning, and kicking my feet with giddiness through each chapter. 

Both characters have very complex internal conflicts that we see play out through dual povs. Noah struggles to live up to the impossible expectations set by his famous father, who is constantly breathing down his back. His parents’ marriage is volatile and because that’s all he’s ever known, Noah gravitates towards a playboy lifestyle. I love how his negative mindset changed when Maya became a constant in his life. She put him in his place and reminded him of what kind of relationship she was looking for whenever he overstepped. This led to him seeking out help to work through what healthy, long term relationships look like and how to set boundaries with his parents. He does this not only for a shot with Maya, but more importantly for himself. 

Maya’s dream is to step out of her older brother’s shadow and make a name for herself. At first she is unsure of what kind of career she wants to pursue, but with Santi’s support she finds her passion. Their sibling relationship is so wholesome and I enjoyed their dynamic. 

Noah and Maya as a couple are everything! They tried their darnedest to keep their distance and I smiled every time they failed. I adore how they uplifted each other, kept an open line of communication, and was captivated by their flirtatious banter. I got a feel for Sophie and Liam’s dynamic in this one and l am looking forward to seeing how it develops in “Collided”.

people on Tumblr who are part of the steddie hive mind or have a huge ass crush on Steve Harrington like I do, this is for you.

I was reading Throttled by Lauren Asher from the dirty air series and this is Exhibit #102 of how Maya Alatorre and I are the same person. We are all Steve Harrington simps.

Also somebody tell me how do you recover from the F1 obsession I'm suffering from now?! The series has me rewatching F1 on Netflix for hours straight and do not get me started on the hold Noah and Santi have on me atm.

*sigh*

Anyway so I'm done ranting. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. 😃😃

Happy Happy Sunday!!

First weekend of September!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a beautiful quote from the Dirty Air Series for you my babies.... When Noah tells his dad that he wants to marry Maya and he does not know but realizes that he loves to be with her and cannot be separated from her like ever... " "I'm probably going to marry her one day. i think she is the one" I say with confidence. The idea is a little premature, sure. But i have a good feeling about her. Maya breathes new life into me, not wanting to piece me together but accepting all my jagged parts. Waking up next to her makes my mornings, not because of her phenomenal blowjobs, but for the special smile she gives me when i hit her snooze button five times. i love the way she lies in bed reading books in the middle of the day, unbothered and shooing me away when she hits a good part. She brushes off my gruff attitude with a smile and a kiss because i can be a moody asshole when i don't place first conditioned because of the shitty man sitting in front of me. Most of all, i like how she makes me want to be a better person. For her, for me, for the whole goddamn world". -Throttled (Lauren Asher) Xoxo, Ironically Witty!

CHASE & STATUS FT. STORMZY - "BACKBONE"

A full 8 years since we've covered these folks -- what is time anyway...

[6.55]

Nortey Dowuona: Stormzy had it all. He was the highest up in the UK grime scene, the best-known British MC worldwide; he had the Banksy vest, he was the one. Then the pandemic happened, he got into Christianity hardcore, he had choirs on his albums, and he and Maya Jama finally broke up. But strangely, this seems to have liberated him. After all, he still established MerkyBooks, Merky FC, that lil scholarship for a couple black kids. All he built hasn't crumbled -- it survived. Now he can relax and get back to more immediate, arrogant and boisterous MCing; thus, this song. The screeching little riff that keeps popping up in the beginning is snapped so harshly out of existence by the drum-and-bass drop that when the drums slip out for 2000s-type breakbeats, the energy never comes down. Big Mike back in the yard, fucking shit up -- but like Antonio Rüdiger. [9]

Alfred Soto: With the sonic verities of grime resistant to Brexit, Boris Johnson, and new loft construction, it's a pleasure to hear Stormzy growl through this almost perfunctory demonstration of relevance. Standing pat is standing tall -- for now. [7]

Taylor Alatorre: "Don't tell us how it used to be, just tell us how it is." Chase & Status are at a point in their career where their last three albums haven't even gotten Wikipedia articles written about them, and Stormzy's place at the top of grime's hierarchy has been bloodlessly toppled by Central Cee. There's a chip on the shoulder of this collab, a palpable sense that one's laurels are a false comfort, because you're only really as good as your latest festival banger. That fear of fading can paralyze, but in this case it hones and focuses. Drum and bass formalism is politely nodded at but is mostly repurposed for parts, used to fashion nimble musical phrases that veer sharply around corners, defying easy prediction while remaining punchy and cleanly legible. The aggression is of an inviting warm-blooded kind, with Stormzy dissing house music more out of deference to his guests than from genuine animus -- he does still call himself a singer, after all. There's enough mutual trust going on for Stormzy to be given the task of orchestrating the drop, his staggered vocals injecting the title phrase with more heft than it logically should have. [8]

Scott Mildenhall: More power to the Chase & Status resurgence, as more power is needed. "Backbone" is regrettably tepid for a duo that burst through and back with hits of intensity. Neither they nor Stormzy leave first gear, ensuring that they stay upright and little more. It's not robotic, but it only has Walcott on the bench. [6]

Katherine St. Asaph: You don't get to diss "all that fuckin' house shit" on a track that comes this close to all that fuckin' brostep shit. [2]

TA Inskeep: LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad (RIP) walked almost 30 years ago so that Chase & Status and Stormzy could run to a #1 UK single. Hearing DnB hitting the top in 2024 will never not make me happy. [7]

Jonathan Bradley: Stormzy's hook aims for the eerie simplicity of ScHoolboy Q's "Collard Greens," but its sing-song is of the nursery-rhyme kind. He brings some bluster on his verses, telling us many times how unimpressed he is with these "pussies” and pronouncing the word with the insistence of a schoolyard bully who hopes the force of the insult alone might establish his authority. The maniacally spurting synth sounds more worrying, but a brisk drum-and-bass rhythm reassures: the beat and the low end are why we're here. Everything else is unnecessary distraction. [5]

Mark Sinker: Fragment of a harder (or anyway more chaotic) DnB version can be found on IG, which some will prefer as it definitely moves the focus back to the production duo (now half as old as time, or even as me). In the official release they do seem to be backing out of Stormzy’s way, maybe because as self-announcing defiance goes, his rap seems rambling and querulous -- opaque in a good way, but also kind of small-time? Uneasy stands the dad who wears the crown.  [7]

Isabel Cole: Makes me feel like an American studying abroad, in that I'm pretty sure I'm overrating this because of the accent. [6]

Ian Mathers: There will always be a space for tracks that fulfill the important criterion of "I think I could run through a wall if I was listening to this loud enough and timed it so I hit the right moment and the wall simultaneously." [8]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: It would do this track a disservice to spend too much analyzing its relative merits and demerits; this is extremely effective music to get rowdy to, and I hope that you take this time to do so in whatever way you see fit. [7]
