i. the beginning

sweet series (princess of spain x marc marquez)

MAY 2014

Clara had never felt more embarrassed in her life. Lorenzo, her ex boyfriend, the man she gave four years of her life to, was doing fine without her while she was still trying her hardest to even get out of bed. Her father, Felipe, hated seeing his daughter sad so he thought that a father daughter day would be good. Only thing was that his version of a father daughter day involved motorcycle racing. She didn’t think she would end up liking motorcycle racing.

“Are you excited?” Felipe asked as they were being driven to the Circuito de Jerez for the Spanish Grand Prix.

“I think I am. I’m not sure what to expect.” Clara responded.

“I’m sure you’ll end up loving it. We’re going to be meeting some of the riders.” Felipe said.

“Do you know which ones?”

“I know for a fact that we will meet Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa, he’s from Sabadell. You love Sabadell! Didn’t you visit Sabadell once to see the . . .”

“The art museum. And it was six years ago, I haven’t visited since.” Clara finished.

“But you can talk to Mr. Pedrosa about the art museum, I’m sure he’s visited it too.” Felipe tried to at least have a conversation with Clara, but all she wanted was peace and quiet so he stayed silent until they arrived.

“Give us five minutes, please.” Felipe told the driver, who nodded and stepped out the vehicle. “Clara, tell me how you really feel.”

“Like I’m the biggest idiot and I’m going to die alone. It felt like that to me. It feels like I wasted four years of my life. He never cared about me, papi.” Clara silently sobbed.

Felipe’s heart broke. It’s been a while since Clara had called him papi. It was always little Clara who called him that.

“He told me once that i wouldn’t make a good mother because of who I am. He thinks that because I’m royalty that I’m going to fuck up my future kids’ lives.” Clara admitted. “But he was drunk when he said that.”

“My girl, you know what they say, drunk words are sober thoughts.”

If you ever want to know why I love MotoGP more than F1, it's the mentality.

Don't get me wrong, the fancy F1 style which is mostly professional with some funny moments is perfect. But it's mainly glamorous. It's supposed to be the perfect Monaco sport.

MotoGP has the expensive aspect as well. But they are just a bunch of chaotic man that love motorcycles and no one is trying to change that for the media.

In f1 people get media training about the "Can you wank yet" question. The laugh about "lol" from max or the "if my mom had balls she'd be my dad" quote was quoted way too many times. The webber glass smash or the angry hat through from brocedes is still legendary. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg being "anything but lovers". I literally can't think of any significant media thing. Sorry.

Motogp is like... Let me post a picture of me touching my balls thorough my race wear. I think it was Quartararo who made a video imply that he's racing in fucking lingerie. They get ass smacks from their team before and after a session. Pecco and Bez are getting referred to as an old married couple. Rider jumping on (and fucking) each other in prac ferme. Jorge said that he'll marry his childhood rival in 2-3 years after they hugged (we know you're touch starved, Jorge but how good was that hig please?). Bez talking to Domizia (Pecco's fiance) and calling Bagnaia "OUR future husband". The Marquez brothers kissed ON THE MOUTH on International live TV. Martin and Aleix E. kissed each other in a club (I think it was them, no idea about the context). And Vale... He proudly said in an interview FFM porn is his favorite and he wants to be a member of the mile high club. I CAN GO ON.

AND IT'S NOT EVEN CONSIDERED EXTRAORDINARY BECAUSE EVERYONE DOES IT.

That's why motogp is better. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

iii. regrets, i made a few

one month later

“You’ve been on your phone a lot lately.”

“What?”

King Felipe lightly laughed at his daughter. Ever since they got back from the Grand Prix, Clara had been checking her phone constantly. They were currently waiting at the dinner table waiting for the rest of their family so they could begin eating breakfast.

“Your phone, are you expecting someone?” Felipe asked.

“No, no. I’m just checking the time.” Clara replied, putting her phone in her back pocket.

“You have to check the time every five minutes?”

“Yes . . .”

“Is there a boyfriend I should know about? Girlfriend? You can talk to me, sweetheart.” Felipe encouraged.

Clara sighed. She much rather tell her father face to face than him hearing it on some radio station or seeing the news.

“I’m talking with Marc and before you say any thing, he’s really nice to me and he’s funny and I really like him. We are just talking.” She admitted.

Felipe smiled. He was glad Clara had found someone that made her laugh and forget about Lorenzo. “I like him too. He’s a world champion, you know?”

“I know, papá,” she playfully rolled her eyes. “I was wondering if I could go out with some friends tomorrow.”

“Where to?”

“Just the restaurant we always go, the one that’s private. I know you don’t like me going out without security, but can I please go without them? It’s a bit uncomfortable being with my friends when the security is sitting next to us.” Clara explained. In reality, her ‘friends’ was actually just Marc. He had finally asked her out on a date.

“Clara, you know how dangerous it is-” Clara interrupted him.

“I am responsible, on time, trustworthy, truthful and I don’t drink. Please, just this once, papá!”

“Okay, don’t make me regret it.”

“I won’t.”

marco bezzecchi's camera roll

[moonshynecybin]

Hi! I have been thinking about Marc and the ways he expresses his anger... giving the cold shoulder... the silent treatment if you will (he will speak ABOUT vale but not TO vale let alone WITH vale)... need your input please....

hmm good question.... this got. STUPID long sorry

uhhh marc is, in general, good at keeping his (negative) emotions in check. like i think marc loooooves to think of himself on track as a mature, controlled, and rational dude. above distraction. a killer. a cyborg. idk his dad has talked about how he doesnt really complain much about injury and there's also allll these stories about what a mature kid he was... so i think that when he was young - ESPECIALLY in a racing sense because he was so much younger than most of the people he was competing against - he internalized that in order to do all the stuff he wants to do racing-wise, he reallyyyy has to keep a level head and not well. act his age! and i think that extends to a lot of how he manages his emotions today (at least in a public setting). even in places where im pretty sure hes PISSED (sepang. phillip island 2013.) he just kind of. visibly contains himself. not a confrontational dude in the outright sense he'll clench his jaw and try to work through it.

which is part of what makes his valentino-oriented crazy so interesting. bc people were noticing that marc in 2015 was kind of. being weird. as his and valentino's relationship deteriorated. like they were both outwardly very much like we can keep it on track :) until the big fallout towards the end of the year but uhhhh. well marc has said that vale started pulling back in september of 2014 like he was noticing SOMETHING, and they clashed on track A LOT in 2015, and i think marc sensed vale cooling on him and freaked a lil. hashtag neurotic 22 year old moments. he is my favorite crazy ex girlfriend. like usually he IS good at separating that stuff out and managing his emotions in the racing sense but in assen that year when vale overtook him off track after they made contact he raised a BIG stink with race direction and actually had some uh. not especially chill quotes about it. (it should be noted marc was also flopping for the first time in his motogp career. like in his brain he stopped winning AND vale stopped talking to him he was goin through it) adn all the reporters noticed too they were like. why werent you sucking and fucking in parc ferme. like vale's left turn wrt to spaniard sabotage comes outta nowhere but people WERE noticing that things were changing. i bet marc noticed too. BUT they are not the type of people to talk about these things so they keep it to vague flirting in presscons and escalating on-track tension slash proxy wars waged in race-direction contexts... liek truly you are 22 you are not going to keep your championship title and your hot sports idol bestie is no longer flirting with you on twitter and you COULD just talk to him about that but you'd rather DIE so youre going to ask honda to back you up to race direction about your last race where you DEFINITELY lost bc winning is the ONLY thing thatll make you feel better. even though thatll help convince your hot sports idol that you are engaging in a benedict arnold level betrayal scheme against him. an insane time to be marc marquez. 2015 really kind of is a study on how both of them handle losing: NOT WELL.

and then the thing about sepang is that then the lid is blown clean off and marc spends the ENTIRE race being annoying on purposeeeee. hes so fucking pissed and hurt at valentino that he decides to get under his skin for REALSIES instead of focusing on his race. like idk he probably would have fought hard for the win without the drama that how he works but uh. i think he was being annoying specifically to bite at vale's edges. and part of that is bc marc is naturally and effortlessly annoying. but i think part of it was SPITE. like his team advised him not to speak on anything from that presscon and he didnt, but he can still fuck him over on track. get under his skin. like he cant tell vale to his FACE that he's angry and confused and hurt. but he CAN let him know on that fucking racing line. where he cant be ignored. idk like i cant see marc letting anyone else get under his skin like that.

AND another big ass exception to the marc marquez anger management philosophy is from misano 2019 where vale messes with his qualifying lap. a lovely anon sent me some videos of marc talking to the press and jesus christ i dont think ive ever seen him angrier oh my god. AND the anon also linked the race from that weekend where he won and he celebrated harder than ive seen him celebrate some TITLE wins like he went. notably nuts. the commentators were all like uhhhh. he mustve REALLY wanted to get one over on vale adjfhlkdh... idk if any of this answered your question but his relationship to his emotions fascinates me hes so weirddddd. and its interesting to me that he can shrug off jorge ruining his last race at honda and be friendly but also be like. kind of aloofly pissed at bezz. because of valentino! he can repress the rest of it, but valentino shines through the cracks.
