What is your opinion about Xavi? I'm still stuck in Bahrain this year when, in my opinion, he was a calming and supportive presence for Charles during that race with the brakes screwed up. But I see complaints quite often about him.

Xavi gets a lot of hate because he’s often the voice for a lot of questionable Ferrari strat decisions (like Monaco 2022….shudders). But remember that it’s been said that in mid-2022 when Charles was getting fucked over for the WDC by his own team, Xavi was the only one he trusted.

Xavi isn’t as “personable” from a PR perspective as some of the other race engineers to top drivers, he doesn’t bicker like GP with Max, isn’t talking about bets like Lando with Will Joseph. But Xavi isn’t there to run PR, he’s there to ensure that Charles and the pitwall are communicating and I think he does that very well. His tone is always clear and calm, and even though the “question.” or “we are checking” has become a meme it’s an excellent way to be spoken to over patchy radio when you’re speeding around a circuit at 300km/h. Xavi has become an easy target for people on the internet to joke about (I also think there’s a slightly disturbing element of him not having a British accent in there as well) but I think he’s one of the best race engineers. He’s calm and encouraging with Charles, is quiet when Charles needs him to be, and ensures there’s absolutely no way for him to be misunderstood.

Also, we don’t know what happens at the pitwall. My guess is that Xavi advocates quite well for Charles and his strategies—remember that Ferrari didn’t really want him on a Suzuka one stop to begin with.

Bahrain GP '24 // Ferrari Team Radio Snippet (1/?)

Xavi: "Brake situation still stable." Charles: "You mean, it's still shit, right?"

Xavi Planes telling the story of how he and Gavi shared a room 8 years ago while in Japan and neither of them could sleep so Gavi asked for his music player and then just started singing English songs loudly 😭😭

One of the things that’s stopped me from buying the new da game is that I was afraid that it wouldn’t “feel” like a dragon age game, but I think some of your posts lately are convincing me

I think a lot of the type of sentiment you're expressing comes from the fact that the first three games came out within 5 years of each other, and Veilguard only came 10 years later. And look how much changed just in those first 5 years of the series. I think it helps put things into perspective to remember that in terms of release date, Inquisition is twice as close to Origins than it is to Veilguard.

Dragon Age, whatever it felt like to each person, was just those first three games for a very long time. Some now feel that anything outside of that doesn't belong. To me, the fact that Veilguard expands on what Dragon Age is and feels like is a benefit, not a drawback.

It won't feel like any of the other games. All the other ones didn't feel like each other either. There are things I love in each of the four games that none of the other three have in the same way or degree of success. I genuinely believe there's something in Veilguard for everyone who has enjoyed any of the others, and more. If you're like me and enjoyed all three, especially if you also enjoyed each one for different reasons, I struggle to see a reason why you wouldn't feel the same way about this one.

A lot of the fandom here has been conditioned to read any positive commentary as disavowal of any faults, for whatever inane reason, and dismiss it completely as a result. You can't just say you loved the game without preceding or following it with a disclaimer that no, you don't think the game performed the miracle of being the first ever piece of media to have no flaws. Otherwise clearly you just weren't paying attention to all the things that make it bad, actually.

So I'll say this: there's nothing uniquely wrong with it. Out of the four, it's the one with the shortest list of dislikes for me, and the one with the flaws that least impact my overall experience. The only thing wrong with it is that it's not perfect. That seems to be an unforgivable offense to many, but I think that's a pretty nonsensical attitude to have towards anything created by a large group of human beings.

Veilguard is the new kid, but I promise it will fit in like all the other ones did. Just pull up another chair to the table and make a new friend. There's room if everyone just sits a little closer to each other.

Im fucking tired of being the eldest sibling and doing and covering everything for everyone and then not being given a single instance of reciprocation

i love netflix wednesday so much because it's like two different shows having a screaming match and i love the clash of vibes. like wednesday is living in a high stakes mystery thriller and everyone else is in a teen drama.

Xavier's all "so who's Tyler?" and Wednesday's like "someone I talk to, now when did you last see your roommate?" and he's like "I can't remember, so are you going out with Tyler now?" and it's so goofy to see

Xavi on Fermín

Q: I wanted to ask you about Fermín, because especially in the first few months when we saw him on the pitch, he left a very good impression. His level has been very consistent, but with the recovery of other midfielders we haven't seen as much of him lately. I wanted to ask you what we need to see from him so that he can get back to the minutes he had before.

A: I am very happy with Fermín, very happy. I think he has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the season. Him, Lamine, the youngsters who are coming through the ranks now and are playing like Cubarsí, Héctor Fort, Guiu. Well, I'm very happy with Fermín, very happy. He's participating, he's playing, he's played the last few games, he's played practically all the minutes. But of course, there is competition. Pedri's recovery has also caused him to have less minutes. Gundogan himself is at a good level, Frenkie is at a very good level. The addition of Christensen in the defensive pivot also doesn't benefit him, but I'm delighted with Fermin and he'll continue to play.

Throwback to when baby Gavi dedicated his goal to his injured teammate and friend Xavi Simons twice 💞🥰

Is there any UEFA High headcannons you have and are willing to share hehe :333

ANON CMERE N LEMME GIVE YOU A BIG OL SMOOCH I LOVE YOU

during the election, christian tried to get his fellow students to register to vote, despite the fact that they are a) not american and b) under eighteen. sergio ruthlessly mocked him.

students skip class to watch when xavi n ancelottis classes play each other in soccer in pe

also yeah xavi still has a job in this au yippee

pablo is still VERY ACTIVELY crushing on nico after they had that one (1) conversation at marcos party

like bro is constantly asking either marco or joao to set them up

in like,,, 90% of thomas' scenes, hes wearing some old crewneck sweater that says 'washington dc' that he got at the airport

sometimes neymar naruto runs to class n luis literally pretends he does not know him

marcos home life fucking SUCKS. his parents got divorced n it was MESSYYYY

harry kane has a crush on thomas n is completely oblivious to the fact that thomas is VERY CLEARLY still hung up on his ex

the week after robert broke up with him, thomas spent the entire time listening to sad music in his room, only coming out begrudgingly when simon wanted to play mario kart with him

sergios dad is literally the most STRESSED individual on the planet. hes like this nervous sweaty guy who constantly looks like hes on the verge of tears, n his entire job is him cleaning up the diplomatic messes his son creates

manu has never heard his dad refer to him by his name

aurora n fermin are in a talking stage n every time pablo hears about it he very openly has a fucking aneurysm

pedri is one of the like,,, maybe two kids at this school who doesnt have neglectful ass parents. his dad is a diplomat n his mom owns a restaurant n they are very kind lovely ppl!!

despite the fact that federico finds dusan annoying as HELL, he rlly truly does love him

dominik is not letting go of that crush on trent anytime soon, boyfriend be damned

pretty much the entire german embassy knows abt the thomas / robert / marco beef

luka wants to study international relations at georgetown, n be a diplomat like his mom

trents actually quite shy when robbo isnt around

ok this isnt that related but i like to imagine that kate, thierry, jamie, n micah exist somewhere in this universe,,, like theyre college students or something, n titi is just as down bad as he is irl
