[shipsgaysfordays]

so i’ve just done what may have been the most VISIBLY mentally ill behavior for the sake of fanfic

and i want to talk about it but i also don’t because just sitting in the situation and thinking about it is a bit embarrassing

[chasiufan]

Imagine killing urself cuz u hate ur job or something and then u wake up in purgatory and have to work the same demanding 9-5 job even in death with no promises of forgiveness /: i would’ve gone crazy too

Hello there!

I’m new to f1 and Lestappen.

Is there a Charles and Max master post somewhere with their history? I keep hearing about the social media unfollowing and podium walk off and want all the tea and timelines.

Basically all I know about is the inchident.

Many thanks!

hello and welcome!! my scholarship (read: obsessively reblogging things or bookmarking them thinking i'll actually find them again later) tends to be VERY chaotic, but i know there are definitely compilations out there. i've read some great ones.

nini (@scuderiafemboy) has a LOT of lore content on tumblr and twitter & does a lot of translating of dutch interviews/manages to unearth old interviews all the time. the twitter thread of threads covers 2018 through june 2023! she also compiled some of the database on tumblr here.

@chibrary archives interviews, articles, etc., in glorious fashion. this is charles centric but naturally charles' history intersects with max's so there are some good pieces in there, like this 2015 article on the lestappen rivalry in karting. the #driver:max tag provides a lot of golden content (such as extended lore on the inchident!).

moments™

marginally related, but dani (lecstappens on twitter) once posted the video of max and charles being scolded and warned to behave themselves during the race following the inchident. one of my favorite pieces of lestappen info frankly... demon children. (also on posted by @il-predestinato on tumblr here. who, btw, is a gold mine of lestappen content.)

well, as long as i'm adding some favorite gems while i try to find the specific post i'm looking for... the lestappen singapore flag moment is my roman empire. i am also haunted by the awkward weather convo video. which i know is out there, but i am going crazy trying to find it.

i decided to just commit to the moments list, so here is charles drinking red bull gate 2023 (courtesy of @countingstars-17)

charles asking the tifosi to stop booing max at monza this year (@il-predestinato seriously has so much content)

this excerpt of max's manager talking about charles (@blueballsracing)

if i don't stop myself i will be here all year

more mini compilations !!

@hyacinthsdiamonds once produced a nice list of the ridiculous lore around lestappen that sounds made up

some 2021 specific "best moments" compiled by @coconutshygame

there is one post i am thinking of that touched on their wild lore/destined f1 rivalry etc. but i can't find it now so stay tuned 🫡

also, for some theorizing on the most recent lestappen debacles and what it all means with ferrari/rbr and a potential charles to rbr (ot charles to more power at ferrari) move:

@tsarinablogs is a Scholar™ with lovely essays

@valyrfia has an addition to the marketing mayhem

i recently compiled my unhinged #rbr-ferrari sticker war content to advocate for rbr charles here, which was added to by this anon with banger points

personally i use #rbr charles for the theorizing and delulu hours, but i think #lestappen rbr and #lestappen gate 2023 are also prime hunting ground for rbr specific lore

anyone who has info to share pls do ❤️ i know i'm missing loads of scholarship that is lost in the pits of my unorganized blog

Fighting the urge to write an Epic Winter rewrite because damn, they had an opportunity and flubbed it by making Daring the beast instead of Rosabella but I don't want to deal with the whole...Epic Winter thing.

Wait, hear me out.

Rosabella gives me big "I know best" energy which is typical for teenage activists but easily leads to talking over and ignoring the people one claims to fight for as well prioritising stuff that...doesn't matter or is very minor.

First off, let's get rid of the aura-thing. Or rather, Rosabella can still see auras but she's mistaken in that it reveals the true character. I'm thinking it's really more of a reliable mood ring but not to fuss on what it actually is. Only that it can't be true-character-reveal thing. I get where it was getting at but no. Unless it does but Rosabella is misinterpreting the meanings? IDK, I just dislike the whole aura-thing as it is with her.

Rosabella, in her attempt to fulfill her mother's destiny, assumes Daring will become a beast because she hyper-focuses on Daring's self-absorbed traits to the point she ignores the times Daring is sincere and caring. She also ignores the fact she isn't close to Daring so she doesn't really know him.

In her attempts to "fix" Daring before he turns into a Beast, she (accidentally!) keeps interfering with his genuine kind moments because he's still Daring about it so she doesn't see them for what they are. He doesn't do them like she does. She's a teenager who has been told she'd be the next Beauty of Beauty and the Beast in an universe that is very There is Only One Right Way To Do Things.

And she's the next Beauty, so she can't be wrong about Daring being beastly, can she? She's the next Beauty, so she's helping, isn't she? She's helping and she's right and she helped keep Rugsy in school and made sure people know ogres just wanted to live their life so she can't be wrong, she can't be.

After all, she's the next Beauty and Daring is obviously her beast so she's helping him. She can't be wrong.

Wakes up one day and oh oops, she's now a beast?

This also fixes the fact that Daring had arcs in Lizzie's Date (deliberately humiliating himself to keep his promise to Lizzie) and Thronecoming that Epic Winter backpedals in a way that doesn't make sense.

This leaves a few possibility in regards to Rosabella's "Beauty".

Daring, who has also recently discovered the destiny he was raised and groomed for isn't his, could be someone that empathises with how Rosabella would feel being blindsided. This would show her that just because Daring's method of kindness isn't the same as hers doesn't mean it's no longer kind. And that it's normal for people to have flaws.

Plus the fact the Daring wait from cowering from his Beastly form to checking himself out in just a matter of words...I'm just saying, no one does that unless a part of them already was, you know?

Whether this is platonic or Daring is her beauty (which part of me is tickled at the idea of a kindhearted but vain beauty) or he is her Beauty but platonically is whatever to me.

There's few downsides to making Daring be this character.

First is Daring's been raised from birth to rescue damsels-in-distress. Granted, Epic Winter is set right after Dragon Games so a Daring choosing to comfort Rosabella is still a choice he would have to make. And have to make at his lowest, (and possibly most humiliated) point.

He's also now aimless, his entire purpose was not his purpose. So the whole thing of what had turned Rosabella into a beast could easily get lost.

I suppose this could be upsides depending on the writer but, for me, this is a downside.

The other downside is that Beauty and the Beast seems to be one of the (or only?) few fairytales in EAH where the girl has to rescue the guy has an expected role to play. By having Daring become "beauty", it kinda flips that to an unexpected but still expected role.

The other possibility:

Cerise.

Hear me out (again).

What better way to say Grimm (and EA in general) insistence of by-the-book follow is wrong than have the character The Rules insistent shouldn't exist and is an abomination for existing be Beauty? Someone whose existence has Hood Hollow vying for her banishment to the point they loophole the whole "banishment has to be unanimous" rule they apparently had.

Which gives me so many questions but is irrelevant to this particular post right now.

Having Cerise, who entire existence is pretty much summed up to "You Should Not Exist" and shies away from people because of it, because she's not meant to exist be the one to comfort and help Rosabella is great.

There's also the fact that it would be more of...a difficult* choice for Cerise to be search out Rosabella and help her than Daring as Daring would at least have his hero training to fall back on even while he's at his lowest point.

That and Epic Winter did have Cerise be the only one to react positively** to Daring's beast form during his Daring Walk. So you know, there's that.

If I do write this, I'm probably going to go with Cerise as Beauty simply because I adore how much of a "screw you" it would be to the whole Destiny&Legacy thing that EAH (in-universe) pushes.

IDK if I will write it. I just wanted to put this out here in case it tickles anyone else's brain and they want to write it or whatever creative form they like.

**Epic Winter AU where Daring turns around and sees Cerise checking him out. I have no further thoughts.

OKAY IM LATE BUT I GOTTA ASK ABOUT UR LORE WITH KUZCO BEING HIS OLDER SIBLING AND ALL-

SORRY IM SO OBBSESED WITH THIS MOVIE but seriously how do you deal with him all the time- I feel like he’s such a little shit (well he is but he’s sweet….at times😭)

(And also Lore for Uncle Hades would be nice too 🤫🧏‍♂️)

⭐️(a gold star for you!! :D) @pastelpousay

AWAAAAA HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY

OKAY OKAY OKAY SO my OC's name is Quya!! here she be, she is soooo pretty :3

shout out Azalea's Dolls Arabrian Nights maker <3

anyway the story I've got so far is Quya is the elder sister to Kuzco and was originally heir to the throne. Quya was fifteen years old when Kuzco was born (and in my AU, when they lost their mother, Empress Sayri, who Kuzco is a spitting image of <3) and she was eighteen and Kuzco three when their father, Emperor Uqllu, set sail for an overseas trade agreement with a king of India. However, his ship was caught in a horrible storm that sunk it, leaving no survivors.

my story/AU is based heavily off of Kingdom of the Sun, what Emperor's New Groove was going to be before the tone was completely changed. so weeks after their father set sail with a promise to return in a few months (effectively leaving Quya in charge of both her brother and the kingdom with Yzma and the imperial council's help), Kuzco started having nightmares every night.

Now the thing you most need to know about Quya is that she loves her family, especially her baby brother, more than anything in the entire world. And she is reckless and impulsive with her own safety.

Quya had snuck into Yzma's lab before to tinker with her elixirs and stuff, and so she snuck down there in the middle of the night to find something that might help her brother. What she ends up finding is an incantation meant to chanted during a very specific sacrifice to a very specific deity. She uncovers a plot to sacrifice a son of the sun (aka Kuzco) to unleash Supay from his prison beneath the earth.

Quya takes this incantation, fearing for her brother's life, and runs to the temple of Inti. She is seen and chased by Supay conspirators all the way to the temple. She throws the incantation into the fires of Inti, is attacked by conspirators, and (I've actually just changed this a little lol) Inti in his rage turns the conspirators into ash with his flames and turns Quya into gold to protect her.

For the next fifteen years, Quya is believed to be dead, and Kuzco is raised with the ghosts of his family, barely able to remember them.

Until Quya is found during a Chipmunk Scout field trip to the temple of Inti. When she is found, she is turned back into a human, and now has to grapple with the fact that so much time as passed and her baby brother is barely a year younger than she is now. :3

IT IS SOOOO MESSY AND SOOOO COMPLICATED AND THEY LOVE EACH OTHER THEY DO BUT THEY ALSO HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO HAVE A SIBLING AND HOW TO BE A SIBLING AND RAHHHH THEY MAKE ME EMO!!!!

[cerealmonster15]

ok now that you've said it, im gonna ask for it. Azul X Cater, either friendship or romantic could be fun. Cater helping Azul relax without the stuffy business stuff and raising his confidence levels callin him cute or w/e? And Azul helping Cater with getting him super cool items to post on his magicam / putting spicy menu items in the monstro lounge for him to eat (not for like the art idea but like just in general on how the ship might play out)

HEHEHEHE THAT'S REALLY CUTE :3 they could be a power couple, i can see it in my mind's eye...

azul acts all confident but i think if a cute boy got close and batted his eyelashes at him he'd get flustered and fold in an instant lol

"So, how was it? Your birthday?" "Best ever, not even close."

Val's Birthday Bash

I took soooo many pics for this project, and so many I loved didn't make the initial cut. I originally had something else scheduled for today but decided to use my favorite outtakes instead. If you can't tell, that one of them together in the booth is one of my favorites ever. I can't believe how well the poses fit together.

Building OCs has always been a weak spot of mine as a writer, so developing Val as much as I have is a real point of pride for me, to the point that I have plans for a rewrite of her canon story, No One's Gonna Love You. I didn't know who she was then, and I certainly didn't know her birthday or why she hates celebrating them.

Val was orphaned at six when her joytoy mother Victoria was killed by a stray bullet, another innocent bystander lost to Night City's gang violence. They barely celebrated Christmas, and the only reason Val knows the date of her birth is because Victoria always rummaged for a stale cookie or muffin or any kind of treat she could find in the garbage. After Victoria's death, she would hack the vending machines for extra treats and share them with whichever friends she had at the moment, but she never shared why.

Mitch loves to celebrate birthdays and holidays, and he knows Val's friends would love to celebrate her. His plan of a casual evening works, even though it turns into much more excitement than a low-key hang out. A night with friends and her found family is the perfect way to spend the day that normally she tries to pretend doesn't exist.

[brickbozo]

something tells me Murdoc really doesn't think of Noodle as a father, at least not in a conventional sense (?) because these answers are kinda ambivalent (seeing what kind of 'father' would get turned on by his daughter disciplining him and whatnot (and yes it's creepy if you think it's normal)) idk how the notion got popular, but even when comparing Noodle-related answers with the 2d ones, you can see it's unequivocal as to where the singer stands i.e. the platonic/familial spectrum.

'little tike'

'baby brother'

'kid'

like there's zero ambiguity HERE-

[shipsgaysfordays]

guyyyyyyyyyyyyys, so i don’t mention this often so here’s some lore about myself: i work at a daycare/preschool.

and today it was dr.seuss day, so like we celebrated it in the afternoon by going to the gym to watch a movie. and wouldn’t you know it, we watched the lorax. and i tried my might not to smile like a madman.

Once’d day more

‘Once other day ‘once other destiny, this never ending road to thneedery, these who’s who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time

Once’d day more

I did not live until once’d day

Once’d day more

How can I live when thneed are parted?

Once’d day more

Tomorrow you’ll be worlds away, and yet with who my world has started

Once’d more day all on my own

Will we ever meet again?

Once’d more day of them not caring (about the environment)

I was born to be with who

But he only saw thneed there

But the lorax comes at night, but the lorax comes at night, with his voice as soft as thunder, as he tears your business apart, as he turns your dream to shame

It's really funny that Mimosa x Zanzo is real actually [ tbh now that i think abiut it , they kinda cute in a way </3 ]

[ oh yeah if it's cool , can there be Zanzo and Mimosa info for the funnies 🥺🥺🥺🥺 /lh /nf ]

Hi it was my idea i was weak. I'll happily provide some info, mostly zanzo oriented because I'm the zanzo guy in th relationship /JOOOOOKE

their confession was a tad messy. I.e. they both got drunk when zanzo confessed. Zanzo was absolutely Shitfaced and he blurted it out

That night they ended up spending the night in the same bed. They really wanted to cuddle, mimosa woke up to zanzo holding her close

It was a very "you meant it?" "Yeah" "that's cool, we can try it :]" confession. zanzo was over the moon

Everyone else found out over a company "mandated" game night with chai and his squad. refer to the doodle

After everyone found out, they opted to make it everyone's problem. They're disgustingly in love with each other and everyone else wants them to stop/silly

One hundred percent a roger rabbit jessica rabbit dynamic

Zanzo happily lets himself be a fashion model for mimosa to do test runs on. He likes to talk to her

Zanzo calls mimosa "mims" "mim" or "mimmy"

Mimosa is zanzo's number one enabler

Zanzo claims he is mimosa's silly rabbit

Canid is a fan of my take on zanzo. Here's a noteworthy rp moment

The context is a lot all.you need to know is Roquefort turned into a sad wet dog

tbh i feel like confirming any romantic relationships is probably a challenge (?) for a game like ovw, since there's a lot of ships & a lot of varying interpretations of those characters/ships. Feel like it'd be hard to confirm any ships without stepping on some ppl's headcanons or wtv. (I do think it's possible they'd confirm some relationships eventually tho idk who knows)
