#praying for OC to have her bad bitch era

[goddessjichu]

ok i read this not long after it dropped and but wasn't in any place to write a proper feedback and now.. here i am. i kinda regretted not writing immediately bc i wish i could've poured what i truly felt that time but alas!!!

first of all, i'm a weak ass, oversensitive crybaby so voluntarily reading this chapter knowing it would hurt it self destructive at best but i did it anyway <//3 at the same time, because i know it was going to be sad, know what to expect to certain point, it was the kinda pain that i enjoyed due to just how beautiful the problem unfolded.

it hurt me so much to see OC trying, trying, and trying. it says a lot about how she feels, really, and it makes me wanna cry just how much in love they're with each other but they're... there. in that situation. why. i get where jungkook's coming from. i dont get where he's coming from. the amount of angst that went through my body from start to finish is astronomical.

but the end??????????? the end???????? i think the last scene hit me like a ton of bricks due to the fact that she accepted that it.. ended and she.. uhh.. finally 'let go' of him because, apparently, life is... better for him after getting away from her. regardless of what jungkook holds in his heart, that's what he essentially said to OC. and for such a fighter like OC, to finally let go because she got the confirmation that he's better off without her... Christ, I probably would've cried had i not been in a public place when i was reading that. it hurt me in the best way possible.

Y/N didn't have a seat for the upcoming Formula 1 season, and that stressed her out quite a bit. She and Charles had been teammates for three years, and she really thought Ferrari would keep her on the team, but upon learning that Lewis Hamilton was leaving Mercedes, they were the first to snatch him up and turn their backs on her.

Now she had two options: give up, pray to sign with Williams or Haas, or outperform herself this season and force her way into one of the top five teams. And for now, she had chosen the second option. P3 in the first race and in the top five in the second. She was extremely motivated for Australia.

Y/N loved the view of the fireworks from the podium, the champagne, and, above all, celebrating with Max Verstappen. Because let's not lie, it was obvious that Max would be on most of the podiums.

They kept their relationship out of the media. Being coworkers, neither of them wanted their relationship to hinder their success in Formula 1, but that didn't mean they didn't support each other every time the other achieved something.

Max had been with her throughout her Formula 1 career. They were the same age, but when Max debuted in the competition, she was still in Formula 2, battling against Albon and Russell for the title. A year before his debut, Y/N got a spot at Alpha Tauri as a reserve driver. It was in that year that Max and she started a relationship, at first quite casual and sporadic until they realized they were too obsessed with each other not to formalize it. And four years later, they were still together, sharing an attic in Monaco and competing together for the championship.

"It's going to be great for both of us, I'm sure," Y/N nodded. Before each race, they had a kind of ritual where they wished each other good luck, hugged, and kissed.

"I see a Y/Nstappen 1-2," Max assured before giving her a long kiss, resting his arms on his girlfriend's waist.

"I hope so,"

"Oh, come on. You're starting fourth, it'll be bad if you don't get on the podium," Max said. He knew her situation in Formula 1 was tense and did everything he could to make her feel good and positive. Max loved racing with her, and if she ended up off the grid next season, he would probably suffer from seasonal depression.

They kissed once more and were about to hug when someone knocked on Max's door to get them to the drivers' parade. They couldn't complete their little ritual, but neither of them gave it too much importance.

They went out to the parade where she was asked about her future in Formula 1, as they had been doing since the season started. That also annoyed her, would it always be like this from now on? Would everything be oriented towards whether she was unemployed or not? She answered with the best smile she could and ended the interview as quickly as possible.

She returned to Max, who was leaning on the fence of the truck they were being taken in for the parade. She leaned on the railing, holding it with her hands. Then Max discreetly placed his hand on hers, making her smile at the contact. Max wasn't very fond of physical contact, but if he could manage to brush against her shoulder, he would, maintaining professionalism wasn't as easy as it seemed.

"How's it going, mates?" Surprisingly, Leclerc approached them to start a conversation, first fist bumping with Max and then with Y/N, pressing his lips a little.

Their relationship as teammates was quite complicated at the moment. She was killing it in the few races that had passed, while Charles was just doing okay. Plus, although when Y/N joined the team, Charles and she had gotten along very well, that year they had been growing apart for obvious reasons.

They talked for a while about the race and expectations, especially Max and Charles, while Y/N disconnected from the situation a bit. Sometimes she was surprised that Charles and Max got along so well.

"Good luck today, Y/N," Charles said before leaving with Gasly.

Y/N blinked and looked at Max, puzzled. "What did he mean by that?"

"What do you mean?" Max frowned a little.

"He wished me luck, as if he thought I needed it," she insisted, biting her cheek.

"Everyone needs some luck, Y/N," Max said, knowing how nervous she could get when something didn't fit in her head.

"He didn't say anything to you," Y/N argued, crossing her arms.

"I mean…" Max tilted his head a little, eliciting a little smile from Y/N. "Don't dwell on it too much, you'll do great."

She loved that, how Max was able to lift her spirits in any situation, getting a little smile out of her. She loved him for that.

The parade ended, and they each went to their garage, fist bumping as a farewell because anything else would cause a stir in the media. In the Ferrari garage, her engineer commented on the strategies that focused on supporting and defending Charles even if he started two positions below her.

She gave Charles a short glance before going to the cars and taking their respective positions. It’s light and away we go. Y/N was so focused on passing Lando Norris that she didn't realize her boyfriend was no longer in first place, actually, he wasn't there anymore. She asked the engineers what had happened; Max had had some problems with the brakes and had retired from the race. "Don't fuck with me," she said, not fully believing it. "Is Max okay?"

"We don't know, focus on the race," her engineer emphasized.

"When you know, tell me, please," Y/N added, without receiving a response. There had been no accident, no red flag, so he was probably fine. But if there was smoke and sparks, there was always a chance that something had happened to him in the pits.

Y/N took a couple of breaths and refocused on the race. She looked on the bright side; she was third and had a chance to win. A few laps later, she managed to overtake Lando Norris. She pitted, and in the last third of the race, she was in first place. Behind her was Charles, so she thought they would change the strategy, and he would be the one defending the position.

"Y/N, let Charles pass," her engineer said, taking her by surprise.

"What?" Y/N practically shouted. "But I'm in first,"

"They're team orders, let him pass,"

"He's slow! He's over half a second behind me, letting him pass will make me slow down!" She couldn't believe this was happening.

"Y/N."

"If he can overtake me, let him, but I'm not letting him pass. I'm winning this fucking race."

And so it was. Y/N crossed the finish line first, and when she got out of the car, Max was there to greet her with a hug. He tried to make her not notice that there were hardly any people from her team there, but Y/N realized it, and her gaze darkened a little. Still, Charles came second, and when he parked his car, several Ferrari mechanics went to congratulate him.

Max watched Y/N, worried that she would take it badly. But then he saw her exchange a triumphant

look with Charles, who, upon seeing her, turned serious. And if that wasn't enough, she blew a kiss to Charles and then went with Max, who put an arm around her shoulders.

"That was incredible," Max said.

"The race or Charles's face?" she questioned, with an ironic smile.

"Both. I thought you'd be sad because there was no one to greet you,"

"You were there,"

"From your team, I mean," Max explained.

"You and I are a team, Maxie. Have you never thought about that?" She looked at him with a smile. "You're right, we are,"

"Are you okay?" Y/N asked. "I got quite worried when you DNF’d."

"I'm okay, no serious damage,"

"And emotionally?"

"I'm fine. Proud of you, above all," Max nodded. "Now go celebrate your podium, I'll be watching you from below,"

They gave each other a brief kiss on the cheek, not caring too much about the cameras; she had just won the race, she deserved at least a kiss from her boyfriend. She received her prize with a smile and celebrated the podium with Charles and Lando, more with Lando than with Charles. The McLaren driver had congratulated her countless times that day, but Charles barely spoke to her.

"Are you okay, mate?" Y/N asked, knowing what was coming.

"You didn't follow team orders," Charles said directly.

"Oh, right. That," she shrugged, raising her eyebrows. "You came second, Charles. It's not that bad,"

"Damn, but if they tell you to let me pass, you let me pass. What does it matter to you?" he raised his voice a little.

"What does it matter to you? You have your golden seat at Ferrari. Some of us have to work really hard to have a seat, crazy, right?" Y/N rolled her eyes with a smile and turned around, leaving Charles with a word on his lips.

Y/N reached the interview area, where Lando and Oscar were doing their respective interviews.

"Y/N! You won the race by disobeying team orders, does it feel the same as winning a race fair and square?" a man asked.

"Fair and square? I was fast enough to cross the line first, the rest weren't. I think that's how a race is supposed to be won," she argued. She smiled widely; she saw Max was also around, waiting for his turn for interviews.

"Don't you have any remorse?" he questioned.

"Not one,"

She ended the interview after that; she didn't feel like explaining. As she turned around, she found Max with an almost mischievous smile. They fist bumped, and he went to do the interview. "Max, can we ask you about the win of your girlfriend?"

"About Y/N,"

"Yes, about Y/N," he nodded.

"I'm extremely proud of her, it's her second victory, and even though I had to retire, I'm glad she won this race,"

"Even given the circumstances of the victory?" the reporter questioned.

"With the circumstances of the victory," Max assured with a broad smile.

Hi there, does anyone know if there's going to be an encore set for the replacement show on Saturday (April 6th)? A friend and I are going but there hasn't been any notice with our tickets or anything? Does anyone know how it works?

MetroMoon · 1 hr. ago Typically, they have QR codes or links at the venue that redirect you to a site where you have until the intermission to nominate and vote songs. I tried the link again the day after and the site was gone so IDK if they'll have it since there wouldn't be a programmed one for Sat

taglist @ririyulife @ashy-kit @fionaschicken @namgification

[variantia]

(Tell us all about Pearl culture! We need it!)

bellum.   some of these are headcanons that @nacreousknight and I have been squawking at each other about, some of them are things I’ve thought of – but really you have them to blame for even getting my brain into overdrive thinking about this shit in the first place, so   8^)   these are all going to definitely be included in my portrayals of my various Pearls

also a lot of these are as they relate to Nacre or my other Pearl OCs because they’ve taken over my blog’s Pearl-essence (   hehehehehe   ) and I also don’t wanna step on anyone’s toes if they have different headcanons so–

Pearls are touchy-feely !   with each other at least.   most other Gems don’t touch them unless it’s a painful touch, and they’re obviously not allowed to touch anyone else without explicit permission.   plus they can’t always speak their minds around everyone even if they’re talking to each other, so a lot of the inter-Pearl communication is touch-based.   it’s very noticeable in Nacre because for a Gem who everyone thinks is a stoic, she’s always got that natural urge to touch people in some way.

the Gem language has words for “sister” and “daughter” as concepts – i.e., sister-in-arms, a Gem of the same type as you, are what “sister” is used for, especially if they’re from the same batch or same kindergarten.   “daughter” exists mostly among Matrons to refer to the Gems they’ve created, although it might also exist among Gems who have secretly created their own offspring.   however, there’s no real word for “mother” ; the closest word the Gems have for that is “Matron”, the Gem who created you, a maternal presence, someone who you hold in utmost reverence.   the only Gems that Pearls respect more than Nacre are the Diamonds.   some of them don’t even respect their OWNERS as much as they respect Nacre.

Pearls who have shitty owners often fantasize about having Nacre as an owner, don’t you dare @ me on this

there are some Pearls who have developed a sub-dialect of communication that has to do with humming or vocalization !   Fuchsia and Abalone are some of them because the Pearls who communicate this way in addition to touch tend to be bolder personalities.

because they’re formed on super watery planets, Pearls tend to be very good swimmers !!

they like to share their memories if they’ve learned something they consider useful or interesting.

Pearls in general like to experiment with styling their forms, hair, and outfits – especially during Era 3 when they have a lot of freedom to do so.   when the opportunity presents itself, they’ll even chatter excitedly to each other about their own opinions for what they think would look good on each other.

some of them can be cutthroat in finding ways to make sure they look better than other Pearls.   because they’re at the bottom of the food chain, so to speak, they don’t have many opportunities to better their station.   although it’s not overwhelmingly the norm, Pearls have been known to sabotage one another.   it’s usually the Pearls whose owners are strict and mistreat  them who feel the need to do this ; it comes from a place of “ if she looks worse, then I look better ” and although it’s not VERY common, it can absolutely be vicious.

for Pearls whose owners have more than one Pearl, there’s even more competition.   the Diamonds are the ones who approve requests for Pearls, but because requesting a Pearl when you already have one is seen as ungrateful and questioning the Authority’s decisions, it’s not common for a Gem to own two or more Pearls.   the Gems who do have more than one Pearl almost certainly had the second / third / etc. given as a gift for exceptional performance rather than requesting her.   Pearls who are not their owner’s only Pearl can become true friends, but more often they’ll fall into “frenemy” territory.   they’ll be rivals competing to be their owner’s current favorite, especially if their owner is not a kind personality, although their bond as Pearls is strong enough that they typically won’t do anything that would risk a consequence as horrible as the other being shattered.

Nacre’s official title that most other Gems and some Pearls address her by is “Her Iridescence”.   otherwise, Pearls call her “My Matron” or “Her Brilliance / Radiance / etc.” or simply address her by name.   rarely, some Pearls will address her with an archaic Gem word which translates literally to “Nurturer”.

other Gems’ space inside their gemstone is pretty big, but still limited.   Pearls’ gemspace is almost totally unlimited.   these bad bitches can fit SO MUCH trauma in them !!!

Pearls as a rule tend to be very tall and wiry.   they’re the slimmest, most delicate Gem type, and stand maybe half a foot to a foot shorter than most Quartzes.   because of this they have a habit of bending / almost perching to talk to shorter people or simply if they need to do something close to the ground.

if they’re speaking to a Gem who isn’t their owner who is high in status, they may close their eyes as they speak.   this is because they’ve developed a superstition that laying eyes on someone in high rank who isn’t their owner is rude and disrespectful, and will bring bad luck on them and / or their owner.   some Pearls will close their eyes, some will just avoid eye contact with the other Gem, and some will actually go balls to the wall and face another direction entirely while they speak to the other Gem.

they have a goddess, Ender Pearl, whom they pray to for, most notably, beauty and safety.   nearly every Pearl who comes into existence is created believing in her, but whenever a Pearl is mistreated or shattered by an owner, there are waves of lost faith in Ender among the Pearls.   if she’s supposed to be watching over them and answering their prayers and protecting them, then why would she allow such things to happen ?

there are Pearls in existence who have completely lost faith for Nacre as well, because of the same reason they lose faith in Ender.   ouch.

Nacre’s kindergartens are seen as less successful than other Gems’, producing maybe 75 % of what other Gems produce.   it’s not because these lost Pearls never emerge or don’t live long.   it’s because Nacre takes defective Pearls and shuttles them off to planets where they can live without worrying.   she sometimes does this with other Gem types, if she’s able to do so, but if anyone ever found out, she’d be shattered in a heartbeat.   in Era 3, she can now be honest about it, and new kindergartens are going to be difficult to produce ; some Gems don’t believe that someone as unassuming and unobtrusive and nice as Nacre could do something like smuggling defective Gems to other planets.   there’s a lot of controversy surrounding it, but the fact is, she DID actually do it.

all Pearls love their mommy don’t @ me on this either

all Pearls are 10000 % babey and if you try to fight me on this one I’ll actually come for ur kneecaps AND ur toes thank u
