Kinda 🧐 about something

Lap of Legends seems like a big event. They spent millions of dollars designing this technology, they reserved Silverstone, they invited all these legends out, they even had Crofty and Karun commentate.

But they only aired it live in the US late at night on channels that aren’t very common. They’re going to “distribute” it in other countries, but have not mentioned how or when. They made a few articles and videos about it on their website/app, but they only made one Instagram post about it.

And then, to top it off, they announce Alex’s contract extension 6 hours later, which obviously is very exciting, but we already knew his contract was until 2025.

It just seems like such a big deal for Williams and motorsport (and Logan) but they kind of buried it under the rug?

Idk, I was very excited for Lap of Legends and I loved it a lot, so I want it to get the attention it deserves.

thursday warriors an update from GA center barricade (VIP has its own section in front for this stage):

as the intro to autobiography of a nation, geoff made a comment denouncing the international use of American bombs. he used purposefully vague wording but it read as a antizionist comment.

he shouted out a bunch of bands, but specifically shouted out MCR as “thursday’s little brothers,” and dedicated crossed out eyes to them.

he shouted out I saw the TV glow and brought out haley dahl to perform standing on the edge of summer. she came out crawling onto the stage and geoff had a real puppyboy moment about it.

I don't know if we'll ever get to see more of it, but the early SaintShin dynamic re Saint's gang is so interesting to me.

Obviously, Saint is poor, isn't doing well academically, has an alcoholic father, and doesn't have a lot of control over his life and his future. Was the gang (built on the only thing he was good at - fighting) the only place where he could feel in control? Was this why this place, where Saint could be the best and the most important, meant so much to him?

But then again, we see that he is willing to let Shin be the "Boss", order him around, playfully insult him, and poke him. So obviously Shin had a very special place in the hierarchy, especially considering that he has to be personally cajoled by Saint into going to the internet cafe for some fight.

So it's all the more interesting (read totally fucking me up) that when Shin tried to leave it was the gang and its rules that Saint tried to use to make him stay, where previously Shin was more or less exempt from them. Was it because Saint felt like his control was slipping? Because he thought that putting Shin back into this hierarchy would give Saint power to make him stay? Because even right before the whole beatdown starts Saint still asks Shin if he's sure he wants to do this (with a kind of desperate hope that this is the point where Shin will finally reconsider). It is also interesting that Saint is the only one beating Shin, with all other boys just kinda...standing there, since usually a punishment like that would entail a sort-of group-beatdown? And god, what a stupid rule, truly deserving of a group of 15-16 year old boys.

Still, it's like even at his angriest Saint can't alow anyone else to hurt Shin.

It's also curious how in the present one of the first things Saint does is express his willingness to be Shin's gofer, again trying to put them both in this sort of rigid hierarchy, just with their roles reversed. Is it out of desire to have a familiar pattern to fall into in a very unfamiliar situation? An attempt to forge at least some sort of relationship between them?

Something-something patriarchy and society making boys believe they can only express anger and not sadness, something-something Shin saying no one will ever make him cry again, and still shedding tears whenever he is face to face with Saint.

Throwing out a One-Word Wednesday, largely because I’ve been working on the S7 project all night and I don’t want to say good night to Morse yet, but I can’t stare at my monitor anymore.

Given my headspace, today’s word is… Angst.

It’s so prevalent, I can’t believe we haven’t gotten to it already. 

I’m going for a little bit of a curveball, because I’m not going for the most overtly angsty image.

Instead, I’m going for a more subtle angst.

This is immediately following the big “I didn’t give her cancer” scene in ‘Scherzo’.

Win brought him an aspirin and he’s just about finished with the glass of water. It’s the very end of their scene.

“I’m sorry you’ve had a bad go”.

He’s exhausted, he’s hung over, he’s drained, he’s devastated, he seems heartsick, and I get all of that from a shot from the rear, over his shoulder, of a profile.
