Saw one of those posts where someone was like “Boba Fett was only 37 in Return of the Jedi?? He shoulda been at the clubbb” and like. I cannot stress enough how much he was at the club. He was chilling in the corner but he was AT the club. Max Rebo was there and everything

After watching The Traitors final last night I had this absolutely diabolic idea for a Galex themed Traitors AU and I had to write it down, so please enjoy this drabble under the cut.

Thank you to lovely @britrrari for the encouragement on this...

Being a traitor is harder than Alex imagines it's going to be. The initial excitement when Claudia taps him on the shoulder turns to abject horror the second he takes his blindfold off and feels like its written across his forehead for everyone to see.

There's remembering to refer to himself as a faithful at all times. Remembering not to repeat things that only the traitors are privy to. He has to remember not to spend too much time with either Fernando or Liam - not that he has to worry about the latter for too long, his exuberance getting him banished just three days in.

Alex is a good traitor though. He's good at the tasks and he's friendly enough. Everyone likes him but he's quiet enough to fly under the radar. He learns to go with the group when it matters and stay out of the arguments. No one seems to suspect anything.

But the hardest part of being a traitor is that George is a Faithful.

George is good at the game too. He's calm and logical, the only time he sees him lose his cool in the whole three weeks is when Max suggests he's a traitor for being too eager in one of the trials. George counters him angrily and methodically, suggesting all the ways he may be a traitor himself and it becomes so divisive yet persuasive to everyone else at the roundtable that Esteban ends up banished as collateral.

Alex murders Max the second the heat is off George.

The problem is that George trusts him, and Alex doesn't know how he feels about that, because he likes George. He really likes George.

He's pretty sure it's reciprocal. The way George's eyes had flicked up and down appreciatively as he sat next to him on the train ride on Day 1, eyes sparkling as he introduced himself with a smile. The way George lingers next to him in the bar in the evening, whispering low and close about his suspicions around Charles, fingertips brushing across the back of his hand. How George squeezes him just a bit tighter and longer each evening as they say goodnight before being carted off back to their Travelodge - clearly more and more concerned they won't see each other the next morning as the numbers diminish.

He feels the worst as he's comforting George on the morning Lewis doesn't come to breakfast, gently rubbing his back as he sobs despite knowing he wrote the letter informing the older man of his murder. He craftily plants the seed that Fernando might be a Traitor to make it up to him, gives him the confidence to lead the charge against him at the roundtable and take the plaudits as a hero. He presses an excitable kiss to George's cheek as they celebrate another successful banishment.

It leaves Alex as the final traitor with 2 days to go and means he can recruit. He toys with the idea of recruiting Lando. He's a bit of a useful idiot and the other remaining players - Yuki, Lance, Charles & Pierre - have all had suspicions about him anyway. He's an easy sacrifice to give Alex the route he wants to the final.

But then it dawns on him. The only way he can truly get what he wants is if he and George are on the same side. So he summons him to the firepit to give him the ultimatum.

He notices George's face falter as he pulls off his hood to reveal himself. A momentary flash of hurt in his eyes as he processes the situation before composing himself with a soft smile and a bemused mutter of "Very well played Alexander..." When Alex tells him he must be recruited or be murdered, adding that he wants to win, but he wants them to do it together, George chuckles. "Blimey, suppose I better accept then?"

With two of them it's a breeze. First they murder Lance, then Yuki gets banished, until its just the five of them. Alex had kept another close friendship in the game all along for this exact eventuality. Luckily he bets right that Lando trusts him and George more and so three of them manage to banish Charles, before voting off Pierre at the firepit.

By that point it's too late, and Lando only realises they've played him when his green flame to stop the game is followed by two red flames from Alex and George to vote again. Not that they needed to, he'd already lost.

Alex grins excitedly across the firepit at George, swallowing down the lustful thoughts he's already having about him in that grey suit and black polo neck combo. Thinks about how he looks like a Bond villain, the perfect perfect partner in crime, and how slowly undressing him and kissing it into his skin once all the cameras have gone away will be the perfect way of celebrating £110k split between them.

Claudia explains the Traitors dilemma to them. A simple vote to share or to steal. A final test of their unity as traitors.

Alex scrawls his answer on his chalkboard enthusiastically, his heart thumping inside his chest as the heat from the studio lights prickles against his skin in the cold evening breeze.

"I wanted to win, but I never wanted that to be at the expense of you." He sighs when it's his turn to reveal. "I know I've had to lie, but I meant everything I said about how I feel about you, Georgie." He smiles. "It's an absolute no-brainer" He finishes as he spins his chalkboard around to reveal 'Share'.

George sniffs, his eyes already red rimmed with tears as he swipes at them quickly. Alex has kind of grown fond of how emotional he gets. Can't wait to tell him just how fond he's got of him in general.

"I know I'm only here because you've protected me from day one." George mumbles. "Ive trusted you, even when I shouldn't have because I really do care about you so much." He pauses, staring down at the board in his hands with a sigh, shaking it between his fingers.

He looks up, teeth biting his bottom, and Alex suddenly realises what's about to happen.

"But this is a game 'Lex" George croaks, spinning his board around to reveal one word in his predictably neat handwriting.

'Steal'.

how it feels to be a mercedes fan watching everyone collectively lose it over lewis at f*rrari rn

[theologyy]

my ranking of the 2025 f1 lineups

ferrari - hamilton/leclerc there isn't much to explain here: lewis is the best and most complete driver to ever compete in f1, and even if he is not at his best, he's still better than the rest of the grid and that's it. charles is exceptional and with a little bit of luck and a car he can trust, he can prove once and for all he is the best driver of his generation.

mclaren - norris/piastri as much as it pains me to admit it, right now, mclaren is the strongest team on the grid. i always liked oscar, i know he is an amazing driver and i think lando turned out better than i expected this year (he still needs to mature a bit). both lack consistency tho.

redbull - verstappen/lawson i put them in 3rd place because yeah, we know if max has a fast car he can (put the other drivers on the wall and) deliver some results. i'm curious how they'll be this year, since they lost some key players last year, especially newey. i don't think lawson will be too hot, he might be just the next driver to have his career ruined by rbr.

mercedes - russell/antonelli i honestly believe george is one of the fastest drivers on the grid and he's also a clean driver who's not afraid to take risks BUT i don't trust mercedes to develop a car that's consistently fast (especially without lewis' input). kimi is a prodigy but i fear toto is screwing up his career by making him skip f3 and not letting him do another year of f2. his 2024 was of highs and lows and he would probably benefit of more time, but oh well

williams - albon/sainz here we have two reasonably good drivers on a reasonably good team and that's it?. like, i don't mean to be offensive, but i look at this team and all i think of is "mid" (and that if williams manages to give them a decent car and they manage to not crash every couple of laps)

haas - ocon/bearman i really like this duo! esteban is one of my favorite drivers and i do hope he finally has an opportunity on a team that supports him and recognizes his talent. oli already proved he is talented enough with all the times he was called to replace a driver last year, and i think a midfield team will be better for his first full season than the pressure that will come antonelli's way.

sauber - hulkenberg/bortoleto as much as it pains me to admit, hulk had a pretty interesting season last year (in parts thanks to kmag, but i do admit he is a better driver this time around) and i like gabi, i think he has a lot of potential to develop on a midfield team, without so much pressure and he will benefit from a more experienced teammate (even if i think it will be a miracle if they manage to score points any time this year).

aston martin - alonso/stroll ok, so hear me out: i don't think lance is a disgrace to motorsports, as most fans like to make of him AND i don't think alonso is god's gift to f1 either. to me, lance is a pretty average driver, with some good moments, and alonso is an okay driver that got luck with his 2 titles and somewhow convinced the media he is a genius. at least lance seems like a nice guy. i don't think newey is enough to save this team btw and i don't care too much about them

racing bulls - tsunoda/hadjar i don't have much of an opinion on hadjar and i think yuki is too good for this team and he will crush another teammate. i also think we should give yuki a gun and let him alone with marko for 15 minutes.

alpine - gasly/doohan this will be a shit show, both are good drivers but i think there will be too much drama behind the scenes and not enough results on track because the car won't be good enough.

literally no one asked me, but i'd love to hear other opinions so my ask is open or whatever

the pictures of lewis in maranello are cool but they just fill me with dread for some reason
