I think his mum needs to start dressing him up again cause Max on his own is hopeless..look how stylish he was as a kid

currently trying not to throw up at work bc of the danny news…

literally what sense does this move make? even if danny wasn’t performing up to the standards VCARB had, why switch him with lawson now when there are SIX races left??

VCARB is 52 points behind Aston Martin in the constructors. there’s no way they could make up enough of that gap for it to matter in just SIX RACES

not to mention Danny is marketing GOLD. hell, his management team was the one that got VCARB the Cash App sponsorship in the first place!

at the very least, they could have been respectful about this and let him finish out the season and then signed Lawson for next year

danny is a man who is an impeccable ambassador for the sport — literally the first driver we meet on Drive to Survive — who always has a smile on his face even when he’s trying not to cry. after everything he went through at red bull, renault, mclaren… we thought him coming back to the red bull family would only help him

i hope his life becomes much easier now that he doesn’t have to deal with red bull’s bs

I often think about how Lewis said he personally called so many drivers in 2020 and personally asked them to kneel for BLM. I think about how he said he personally tried to explain the protest to them and answer all their questions. I think about how he felt when so many of them still declined. I think about how he was fined for wearing shirts for BLM. I think about how F1 stopped him from wearing a shirt that simply said "Justice for Breonna Taylor." because F1 wanted to 'de-politicise' the sport. I think about how when they asked Stefano Domenicali, the CEO of F1, about Lewis' activism, he said F1 is not racist and he does not "Percieve" the racism Lewis is talking about.

I think about how Nelson Piquet, who was fined $1 million for racially abusing Lewis on video was *banned* from the paddock. I think about how he just showed up to the paddock today clearly wearing a paddock pass and hanging out outside of Red Bull, not even hiding inside.

I think how this is all so symptomatic of how rotten to the core F1 is. How Lewis being the most successful driver in the history of the sport did not spare him from this.

i just imagine ll moving into her dorm at uni and everyone tripping over their feet to help her. like she tries to lift a single box? “no, baby, let me handle it.” she wants to step up on a ladder to put up a picture? “ah ah ah, it’s too dangerous!”

everyone's favorite soft girly 🎀... also no lando yet bcs i have plans for him 🫣🫣

"your hands aren't made for carrying anything," oscar chides, as he steals the box away, gently ushering you to a seat with his other hand. "it would be a crime against humanity to soil these pretty hands." he coos at you.

your stare is incredulous as people moved to and fro your dorms; max was stacking your book shelf, holding your instruction pad; carlos was concentrated on making sure your furniture was properly assembled; charles was holding onto a vacuum and chasing after nonexistent dust and dirt, mindful of your allergies; george was pushing in boxes of your clothes; while alex and his girlfriend lily were fixing up your closet— your head was spinning from their efforts, but you were only handed an iced coffee, from arthur who placed a kiss on the side of your head, talking about, "take a rest baby" and pierre who handed you your kindle, telling you to read and relax!

these people must think you fragile...

but were you about to deny them? you weren't stupid.

Hello hazel!!!! I love reading ur works v much and I honestly l read them every night as my bedtime stories,,,!! ur kind of well known as that diluc simp so I'd like to ask you what do you think his flaws are? no particular reason, I just want to know cuz im kinda bad at analyzing someone's personality,,

o(TヘTo) -- your words are too kind! 

what do I think are his flaws? mmm -- well based on what we know about him I’d say :: 

he’s stubborn - like really stubborn. if you try to convince him of something he can’t get behind it’s going to be a struggle; you want to go on that dangerous mission with him - absolutely not, his foot is down (no matter how capable you are he would refuse, though if you show up anyway he will deal only to give you a stern lecture afterward) 

he’s impatient - we know this from his character profile. this is likely why he does things on his own so often - it’s faster and he doesn’t have to wait around for things (same diluc same - why wait when I can just do it myself) 

he’s reckless - because he’s stubborn/headstrong and impatient he puts himself in dangerous situations without really thinking - though I imagine he’s learned to plan in the background enough to be prepared for most anything, even the unexpected 

he’s distrustful - you have to prove to him your worthy of his trust for him to allow you to be anywhere near him. and that’s not just as a partner, but a friend -- he helped the traveler out of curiosity and i’m certain to make sure they weren’t a threat (after seeing their skill he began to trust them) 

his emotional intelligence isn’t very good - meaning, he might be able to read people but he’s not very good at reading their emotions and knowing how to respond. I’d imagine he was a bit better at it when he was younger but now he’s seen things he can’t forget and has adapted to survive so he might misunderstand your emotional responses without meaning too (anger is easy to read, distress and sadness are harder - poor boy will try to fix all your problems even if you don’t want him too)

he works too hard - the boy gonna pass out, doesn’t know how to relax, feels guilty for relaxing; thinks he has to prove himself when he literally doesn’t but refer back to point 1 if you’re going to try and convince him otherwise 

I’m sure there are others I could think of, but generally these are the major ones i think about when I write for him -- if you can be patient, open, and show him your worthy of his trust he will consider you someone near and dear all his life <3
