max and charles road tripping across america?? who am I. (this idea started consuming my brain approx 24 hours ago and I haven’t been able to let it go since)

the writing process on this one is fast (right now) but it’s still gonna be a long fic so here’s a snippet in the meantime just for fun:

"It's mental," Max says, because he's never really trusted ovals. Feels unnatural, like you're trapped on a hamster wheel, no open road in front of you. "It's amazing," Charles breathes out, eyes lighting up.  Max can see it then; Charles, glorious and unburdened under the midwestern sun. He thinks it'd be something pretty special to watch. Just Charles and a car, nothing else. Nothing but raw speed and a healthy dose of insanity. "You think you'd like to do it?" "Maybe, one day," Charles grins, climbing up the banking.  "You'd win," Max says, and Charles turns to stare at him. "What?" He shrugs, it's the truth. "In a spec series, nothing to hold you back. Of course you'd win." No Ferrari to hold you back.  The comment hangs there, for a minute, itching to be heard. Max swears he can feel a prickle on the back of his neck, like any minute he'll turn around and the ghost of Enzo Ferrari will be standing there, glaring at him under the Indianapolis sunshine.  Ferrari, he thinks again. Just to taunt himself. Like Beetlejuice. He glances over his shoulder, wonders if he's going crazy.  "Maybe I would," Charles concedes, shaking Max out of his stupor. It's reassuring in a way, that Charles hasn't lost sight of his own abilities despite the clusterfuck around him.  He smirks at Max. "Since you're too scared to race ovals." It sounds, in Charles' own complicated way, like a promise. You're the only one that could ever catch me. "I'm not scared," Max protests, though he does glance at the banking under him in suspicion. "I just don't like them." Charles laughs, like he sees right through him.  "You can admit it, we're the only ones here."

I Am Sam (2001)

"You think you've got the market cornered on human suffering? Let me tell you something about people like me. People like me feel lost, and little, and ugly, and dispensable. People like me have husbands, screwing other people far more perfect than me. People like me have sons who hate them. And I've screamed, I've screamed horrible things at him, at a 7 year old because he doesn't want to get in the car at the end of the day! And then he looks at me with such anger and I hate him then! I know I'm failing you! I know I'm disappointing you! I know you deserve better but get in the fucking car! It's like every morning I wake up and, I fail. And I look around and everybody seems to be pulling it off, but I-I-I can't! No matter how hard I try. Somehow, I'll never be enough."

The Penn View Motel was built in 1965 as part of a small chain called the Ivory Tower Motels. They were scattered throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut. Over the years, the Penn View became a hot spot for illegal activity and eventually closed in 2006. It was demolished and replaced by a bigger, more modern hotel. Located in West Reading, Pennsylvania.  Source

'William Penn’s Treaty With The Indians'.

Benjamin West, 1771-2.

The following notes & quotes were taken and transcribed from Andrew Graham Dixon’s ‘Art of America’, episode 1.

The official history of colonised America [in the 18th & 19th century] would be a selectively edited account that glorified the building of gleaming new buildings in cities like Philadelphia, but it conveniently ignored the grim reality of how it was actually done. One of the functions of art in America then was to be a part of a cover-up, and a chief cover-up artist was a painter called Benjamin West.

West was a Quaker, born in Pennsylvania and America’s first internationally famous artist. ‘William Penn’s Treaty With The Indians’ was one of his most celebrated works, yet it also “pulses with the energy of a dark secret”. The painting was created to frame the history of Pennsylvania and the settlement of its capital city Philadelphia, “to frame it as orderly, dignified, just, compassionate and tolerant…"

West said that the painting depicts "the civilisation of the savage". On the left hand side of the group is William Penn, founder of Philadelphia presenting the Indians with a treaty. However, taking centre stage is a bolt of white cloth held by a generic figure of a trader, “an image that exactly recalls the adoration of the shepherds at the birth of Christ” and representing the notion that “the god of free trade transformed noble savages into civilised men, effortlessly absorbing them into the republic, a sanitised version of American history". The painting soon became the classic image of ‘the bloodless colonisation of America’ …. but it is propaganda, a blatant lie.

William Penn may indeed have looked kindly on the local tribes, but this painting was commissioned* some 50 years after his death, by which time the colonists and native Indians were locked in a bitter war. This was a war marked, on the British side, by all kinds of appalling skulduggery. On one occasion in 1763 during supposed negotiations for peace, the British representatives handed to the Indians a pile of blankets that they’d taken from their own small pox hospital. This was an early example of germ warfare and proved horribly effective. It certainly gives a really unpleasant twist, an ironic twist, to that bolt of white cloth in the centre of West’s painting.

The painting’s Wikipedia page says it was commissioned by Thomas Penn - William Penn’s son - in 1770 or 1771. Also mentioned is the speculation by some historians that Penn Jr. may have fraudulently created an agreement with a Native American tribe regarding territory and then forced them to vacate.
