— that italicized ‘oh’ moment with f1 boys.

˒ ⌕ LANDO NORRIS

the sudden display of affection. when you’re so happy because of something and when he’s so happy because you’re so happy, and you excitedly jump into each other’s arms; it’s a very soft ‘oh’ first, relishing how warm this is and also thinking how you never want to let go because this feels like home, that’s when it hits: oh. the earlier excitement has waned, replaced by something else entirely as you linger in each other’s embrace.

˒ ⌕ DANIEL RICCIARDO

that moment when your gazes lock in a loud, crowded room. at first it starts off with a few casual sentences and before you both know it, the conversation flows so perfectly despite the rowdiness and chaos surrounding the two of you, and between a witty retort and an embarrassingly loud abrupt laugh, your eyes meet and it’s like oh. oh indeed.

˒ ⌕ CARLOS SAINZ

when he sees you, truly sees you for the first time. he finds it incredulous how he’d never noticed the way the shade of your eyes shines in the sun or the way your laughter sounds like poetry in summertime. it’s like you’ve been friends for years and yet until this moment, he’d never looked at you. but now, suddenly, everything makes sense: the effortless smiles that find him when you’re being your idiotic self, the stupid excuses he tried to find just to be close to you, and the quiet pang in his heart when you’re being a little too friendly with someone else. it all makes sense now and the only thing he can say is oh.

˒ ⌕ CHARLES LECLERC

the accidental i love you. the words spilled out of him without warning, without a second thought. he hadn’t meant to say it but he did mean it. as a friend, he internally tried to reason, feeling both panicked and strangely calm. but you looked into his eyes and he looked back, and you both resigned you were in deep trouble because oh.

˒ ⌕ LEWIS HAMILTON

when you’re vulnerable with each other. you hesitantly tell him something you’ve never had the courage to tell anyone before. and instead of wincing or recoiling from you, he simply nods and listens. and you let out a sound that’s almost like laughter — half surprised and half delighted. and you realize all at once how special this is, how special he is, how light you feel after letting that out. and oh, you think. if you weren’t certain before if you’re in love with him, you are now. so hopelessly, gratefully, and blessedly in love.

˒ ⌕ OSCAR PIASTRI

the first kiss. it’s all easy smiles, teasing smirks, and playful, challenging gazes. until the kiss. his mind empties; there’s no thought of what exactly happened to lead up to this or what to do when things get awkward between you afterwards. there’s only the feeling of your lips against his, and the feel of your hair and skin as he cradles your face and kisses you deeper. head empty, really, except for a very happy and slightly startled oh.

˒ ⌕ MAX VERSTAPPEN

only when someone indirectly points it out. because he’s too oblivious that he leaves his own feelings no choice but to gradually worm their way. then he’s talking to someone about love — how the topic got there, he has no idea — but he’s listening to the person describe a quote they’ve heard from somewhere and max finds that he relates to it a little too much and his mind keeps going to you and just like that, it hits him. beneath all the ‘friendly’ touches, i’m-bored late night phone calls, and bellyaching laughter, there’s something more. oh.

The 2010 Season: The Greatest Ride

(This is an old blog post from July 19th 2023)

AKA: Niamh yaps about a random F1 advert from 2011. Here's a bit of a curveball.

My original plan for my second blog post (a deep dive of sorts into the mythic nature of being a Ferrari driver) has been momentarily put on hold to make way for whatever this will be. And I have yet to know what this will be or how it will turn out but stick with me, okay!

Some context first. Picture me at 11pm eating some Shreddies as a before-bed snack and finding things to watch on Youtube while I do (because eating without having a video to watch is a fate worse than death), when I come across a video titled "BBC F1 2011 INTRO". I'm instantly like "oh awesome, love me a bit of The Chain", thinking this would be similar to other F1 intros of the 2010s era.

(Try and tell me you can listen to that song without thinking of Formula One.)

I was wrong.

What I was witnessed to instead was enough to make me stop eating altogether. I put the spoon down. My Shreddies were left to drown in the milk but I didn't care, I was physically unable to move as a result of this video. It was a montage of various moments from the previous 2010 season (a beloved season to me), set amongst Hans Zimmer's iconic 'Time' from Inception and over the top was a poem narrated by Eddie Jordan.

"But Niamh, that sounds way more boring and normal than you made it out to be. Shreddies drowned for this?" I hear you say. You underestimate how much a bit of film soundtrack and spoken poetry can impact a girl. I was so impacted, in fact, that I was suddenly fully prepared to pause my planned blog post (which in all honestly I still have yet to find the inspiration for, so maybe this is a good thing!) and write this one instead. I have got to talk about some of these quotes and what they refer to. Think of this as a sort of 2010 season mini recap, but only the most dramatic moments.

Here is the video, by the way. I urge you to check it out.

https://youtu.be/k_hFOC42Qcw

Let's begin!

(A warning: this is all just going to be meaningless drivel from my brain. But you probably already knew that)

“It had charging snorting bulls in the ring tamed only by those two who rode them. Unable sometimes to tame themselves, unable to control their own beast within”

Who doesn't love a metaphor? Obviously this refers to Sebastian and Mark at Red Bull and their tumultuous relationship that had started to develop by the second year of their partnership. Most people think mainly about 2013's Multi 21 incident when talking about the pair's most tense moment, but 2010 had its fair share of these too. Firstly, the wildly entertaining Turkish Grand Prix saw them collide after Seb attempts to overtake Mark on the inside. Due to the angle of Seb's car they made contact and he is sent spinning off into the gravel, with Mark managing to escape being stuck and continuing the race. This moment is so iconic, I think, because of Seb's reaction to it (watch it on Youtube if you haven't already, it's great) and the fact it was the catalyst for the downfall of their relationship. Not helped by the fact that three races later at Silverstone, an incident with Seb's front wing in final practice meant that the team replaced it with Mark's newly upgraded one. Seb then went on to take pole position in qualifying. As a result, talk about favouritism within the team arose. But that's a blog post for another day. Anyway, I love this quote and I think it sums them up perfectly; sometimes they really were unable to tame the beasts within. The way the shot moves from Seb laughing with Britta to Mark in the background looking all solemn and serious? Art.

“It had intrigue and inviting. It had a prancing horse and a rider asked to take a fall”

It's quite easy to wax poetic when it comes to Ferrari, but I think this line is just so good. I love it when Ferrari is referred to as the 'prancing horse', there's something so elegant about it. The lineup for 2010 included newcomer Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, who had already been part of the team for a few seasons. The season before Felipe had undergone surgery due to an accident at the Hungarian Grand Prix, and understandably he had a slow return back to his usual form once the 2010 season began. As a result, by the German Grand Prix, Massa was 31 points behind Alonso and therefore not a championship contender. It was during the last few laps of this race that Massa was ahead of his teammate for a 1st place finish when he received a message from his race engineer Rob Smedley informing him that Alonso was faster. He quite literally said, ‘Fernando is faster than you, can you confirm that you understood the message?’. Felipe let his teammate through to take the 1st place trophy. Ferrari, despite claiming that the incident didn't involve illegal team orders, were fined $100,000 for the controversy. It didn't help that Smedley literally apologised to Massa after the original message... whoops. How many riders of the prancing horse have been asked to take the fall?

"It had those who would not lie down and told that they were not the chosen one."

The term "chosen one" has so much weight to it, right? Obviously this line relates to Mark during his time opposite Seb at Red Bull. Mark frequently vocalised his feelings surrounding the apparent favouritism within the team despite their adamance that there was no such notion. The initial tension caused by the swapping of front wings at the British Grand Prix was soon diminished once Seb took a trip off track and received a puncture, meaning Mark was able to storm ahead and take the win. During his cool down lap he announced over the radio, "not too bad for a number two driver", referring to the idea that Sebastian was Red Bull's favourite. This wouldn't be the first time Mark brought the subject up in a public manner, so it's definitely true that he refused to lie down and accept what was happening. No matter how much they tried to deny it, Sebastian was always Red Bull's 'chosen one'. The chosen one hand picked personally to bring the team to the top after years of disappointing results. And that he did. But God, did Mark try his best!

"It had new and old; new faces, new machines, new blood. And an echo of the past, a name, a memory."

One of the moments that genuinely gave me chills. The 2010 season brought with it five rookies, including Nico Hulkenberg and Karun Chandhok, as well as new teams. There were also new regulations regarding a ban on refuelling, a ban on double diffusers and a collective agreement not to use KERS. But despite the fresh faces and rule changes this season indeed brought several echos to the past. The 2010 season saw the return of a familiar name in Team Lotus, which hadn't taken part in F1 since the 1990s. Their livery even referenced the classic green and yellow colours of the original Lotus cars of the 60s. One of the rookies introduced this year was Bruno Senna, nephew of Ayrton Senna (who even raced for Lotus during his career). I remember while I was watching the 2010 Bahrain Grand Prix, Bruno's engine overheated and there was a shot of his eyes through his visor. Martin Brundle reacted to the shot by saying, "that scares me, that looks like Ayrton through the crash helmet when the visor is open... it stops me in my tracks." Despite his unremarkable rookie season, I'm sure he brought back a lot of memories for F1 personnel and fans alike. In a similar vain, 2010 was the year that 7-time world champion Michael Schumacher returned to the grid to drive for the also returning Mercedes GP team after retiring in 2006. 2010 was the year of throwbacks and nostalgia.

"It had the spectre at the feast; a falling god now reigning against his own mortality and risking that of others."

Used to talk about Michael, this line was SO interesting to me. Firstly, the description of him as the 'spectre at the feast'. This phrase can be linked to a scene in Shakespeare's Macbeth where the ghost of murdered Banquo appears at a feast, and is used to refer to someone or something that brings misery or sadness to a happy or celebratory occasion. So why was this used in reference to Schumacher? Of course, the legend's return to the sport brought with it a lot of hope and anticipation that he would return to his former glory once he raced again. Nevertheless, Michael struggled to get good results in his first stint back. A new generation of cars and regulations, and a team which struggled to improve upon its previous success (Mercedes GP replaced 2009 constructor's champion Brawn GP), can't have made it easy for him. Thus commenced a season of misery and disappointment for those once hopeful fans. A so called "spectre at the feast". "A falling god reigning against his own mortality"; a god of the sport attempting to reestablish his former glory but unfortunate timing and circumstances meant he had to accept he was no longer untouchable. The last part of the line refers to Michael's sometimes aggressive driving style, specifically the incident at Hungary where he squeezed former teammate Rubens Barrichello against the wall of the pit lane while defending. The dangerous move was punished with a 10-place grid penalty the next race. People often claimed that while Michael never lost his ruthlessness, he had lost other aspects once apparent in his original F1 stint. Whoever came up with that line deserves a Nobel Peace Prize in literature.

And there we go. The 2010 season recapped in the words of whichever brilliant mastermind at the BBC F1 team came up with that poem, and a bit of my knowledge sprinkled in as its one of my favourite seasons. There's just something about art when it's combined with Formula One because the effects it has on a simple girl like me is groundbreaking. I eat it up every time! It turns simple car racing to something much more dramatic and emotional and interesting and I value every person who creates art dedicated to F1.

Please never stop.

Anyway. That was really long and probably quite boring, but I had so much fun writing it. I love talking about old seasons and I'll probably do it again in other posts. I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless!

15 Questions

Thank you for tagging me in this @f1-birb

1. Are you named after anyone?

My middle name is my Grandmother's name, but if fictional characters count then my first name is also after someone. It's a character from a book by a classical author my Mam loves

2. When was the last time you cried?

Um, Sunday night/Monday morning while reading a AFTG fic that made me very sad and then very mad.

3. Do you have kids?

Unless you count my cat, then no. I do not have kids, but maybe someday

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

I used to play Gaelic football, football, tag rugby and I ran cross country but not for long or very seriously?

However I did swim competitively until my late teens. I was on my town's swim team and won a good few medals for induvial and relay races. I have some County and National medals for my Butterfly stroke but I quit when it stopped being fun, I had my LC coming up and I did damage to my shoulder

5. Do you use sarcasm?

The day I don't use sarcasm is the day I die

6. What is the first thing you notice about people?

Hmmm, their eyes and smile? Maybe their shoulders too

7. What is your eye colour?

I have very green eyes, like proper green eyes. The kind they stereotype us Irish with sometimes 😂

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

I do love a happy ending but I love horror movies more. I live and breath them. I love all the different genre's of horror except maybe gore. I'm actually planning a Scream re-watch soon even if the third movie is crap

9. Any talents?

I can sing somewhat well? I play the piano and have since I was eight but I wouldn't say I'm talented at it. I'm better at teaching it because I am not a very technical player, I am more musically inclined which makes some pieces a dick to play.

Is being annoying a talent? I'm sure my friends would argue that as well as being clumsy as one of my talents

10. Where were you born?

In a county that I didn't and have never lived in in Ireland because our local hospital was shit the year I was born (newsflash: it's still shit)

11. What are your hobbies?

I read a lot and across a lot of genres. I love a good documentary. I love writing, even it doesn't love me. I love going for walks and going swimming. I see travelling as a hobby, but by that I mean even going to a town I haven't been too back home and just wandering (I'm broke and don't have much money for international travel beyond doing so for my research).

I enjoy cross-stitching!

I adore baking and am very sad that I don't have an oven in my little flat over here in Czechia.

12. Do you have any pets?

I do! Currently I have two cats that can be considered family pets although one is purely mine and I pay for him.

There's my sisters cat Echo who is pure black and looks like Toothless with her ears back, and there is my absolute disaster of a cat, Oliver, who is white and ginger and the dumbest creature to ever grace this Earth and purrs like a tractor

13. How tall are you?

On a good day? 5'4

14. Favorite subject at school?

English and History were always my favourite subjects. I could never choose between the two. I loved reading and literature and poetry and picking things apart until they made sense.

The same with History. I loved following sources to find the truth or the best interpretation of the truth through various documents and existing literature. I like giving a voice back to moments forgotten or that haven't gotten the attention they deserve which is why I decided to make a career out of it (if possible)

15. Dream job?

I would love to be an author, but I don't have that type of talent or perseverance.

I will happily settle and aim to be a proper Historian

Time to tag some more fun people to answer these! Off to the usual suspects @princelancey, @wolfsbanesbite, @faerieroyal

JANE EYRE — send a fandom + info about you (including gender preference) and i’ll tell you who i ship you with.

Hi Becca!! First of all, congratulations on your milestone and thank you so much for this event!! I love your writings, it made me feel things I can’t describe heheheh 🍾🎉 Here I am requesting for F1 driver 😍

About me — I am a 170 cm person (a non-binary) and pansexual. I am a southeast asian person with brown eyes (honestly, I really love my eyes because even though it’s underneath minimal lighting, the light brown colour still can be seen), black hair, and I must say my body is a midsize one. Honestly, talking about clothes, I don’t really have specific style but if I may say, it’s like a modern Slytherin student (a little bit weird but I think you understand) because I am not just sticking in masculine side nor the feminine side. I am a communication student who’s taking their interest in media studies. I am a good listener at heart but also don’t mind to say their mind out loud if something is bothering them. I am a “I dont hesitant to talk to people first” introvert too. I speak English and French if that’s included.

My interests — are media and gender studies, music (I am a guitar and bass player), sports like F1 and football (I support Arsenal), graphic design, and books. I listen to alot of bands but my main is 5SOS and Nothing But Thieves. Madison Beer, Taylor Swift, keshi, clinton kane, stray kids are the other musicians that I like. I love Harry Potter too! (you can guess my house from the paragraph above). I also love coffee so much hahaha T__T I write poetry song, and stories in my spare time.

Additional — my friend and I associate myself with the colour green, tall pines and forests. In the king, poet and soldier, I am a king. Hehe :3

thank u sweetheart!!

i ship you with: esteban ocon! he’s a big comic and fantasy nerd so harry potter movie marathons are a must for date nights. loves when you speak your mind for him, maybe if someone’s saying something about his driving. the second you curse them out in french, he’s in love. adores when you teach him to play bass, but he just uses it as an excuse to be close to you. takes you to every football game you want to go to. carries around the poems you wrote for him, reading one before every race as his good luck charm.

#🍾 ﹐ becca hits 1k!#💒 ﹐ ships.#formula 1 #formula 1 imagine #formula 1 x reader #esteban ocon imagine #esteban ocon #esteban ocon x reader

I now do feel that the tragedy in Charles do be a part of his attractiveness.From two angles,one is his personal life's experience, one is his career in Ferrari.

Not saying he deliberately uses his past experience but people in this era can know about and have more interest in drivers' personal things. Losing his friend and godfather Jules,losing father while in F2, For people who have interest in him,these sad memories and how he overcame these were known together when try knowing about him, make people will always have good impression and sympathy on this young man for his past,his strength.

And the career in Ferrari.I'd say, Ferrari in past decade always makes tragedy heroes.Felipe's tens of seconds champion and losing by one corner,Fernando losing wdc 2 time by few points, Seb with a dream of red coming to Ferrari just like his hero Michael but he finally failed,Ferrari is a team of tragedy.Now Charles is their last hope,taking up the task of revival on his young shoulder,and this year when he had chance,there happened many misfortune and problems. Wining is so close but so far.In sports, in history, people will cheer when you win once or twice, but will boo when you win too much, Ferrari hadn't won for so many years, Charles hadn't won his champion, people hope them win.Also, Ferrari themselves is part of difficulties Charles faces,from team to competitors, Charles need to conquer a lot.Yong with responsibility and talent but before success,many hurdles need to overcome.

(oh, and the F1 today becomes more individual and less team (for audience though),which magnifies drivers' personalities.)

These do make him has the tragedy as ancient hero in poetry, don't even mention that he is also good looking and feel like kind and ambitious,making him has different temperament(a bit of melancholy) ,from other young driver.

I think you make some really interesting points, anon.

I think Charles' personal losses make him feel more relatable and make it easier for people to connect with him. Like I think the vast majority of people know what it's like to lose somebody close to them so everybody knows the strength that it takes to keep going after such profound losses.

But I agree-- I think there is something really dramatic and tragic that comes with being a Ferrari driver and you did a good job outlining really good examples.

People love the underdog, I think people also like to see pieces of themselves reflected in racing drivers (and probably all athletes really).

So yeah, I think this is a really interesting thought and I'd love to hear what other people think of it <3

Okay here comes the second part!!!

11. Fernando Alonso - he gives me veteran vibes, plus he has been in the game for a long time, have to compare him with Vince Carter, but Chris Paul as well! Mainly because Chris Paul has been a player who was kind of disliked and same with Nando, although they are 2 of the greats of their respective sports!

12. Esteban Ocon - Rags to riches story! This gives me off so many Jimmy Butler vibes from the story, but Esteban is really introverted, so personality wise I'd compare him to Larry Bird because Larry shied away from attention

13. Kimi Raikkonen - HUGE Kawhi Leonard vibes right from his personality (not talking at all) and their achievements

14. Antonio Giovinazzi - going to compare him with Danilo Gallinari, not just because they're Italians but also because they're lethal when time comes. Both of them were quite unlucky too, so yeah. Also Danilo was drafted by a historically popular franchise, New York Knicks, similar to Gio with Ferrari!

15. George Russell - Luka Doncic, both are youngsters and supremely talented and are the next big things in their respective fields. Or I'd even compare George with Devin Booker as well! Next season he is gonna drive with Merc, so his teammate will be Lewis (duh). Devin's teammate presently is CP3 (Chris Paul's nickname) who is an experienced teammate so that's why. Also both of them are INSANELY talented and drag their teams/cars to wins

16. Nicholas Latifi - that's a tough one, his first season was kinda subpar and I'd say he had a slow start to F1... so I'll compare him with Paul Millsap who was also mediocre, but now is a huge reason why his team is winning!!

17. Pierre Gasly - Damian Lillard. Personality wise not like Dame though, but his consistency and him carrying his team is why I compare him with Dame, a lot!

18. Yuki Tsunoda - have to go with Kobe because of how fast and early they entered the sport, and their rise has been meteoric. I could also compare yuki to James Wiseman because of how young they're and their subpar performances in their rookie season. But of course both of them had amazing junior careers so yeah. Hope it makes sense skksjdjdd

19. Mick Schumacher - Hands down Bronny James (Lebron James's son). Both have very high expectations and their fathers were the best the generation had witnessed, so yes

Unfortunately there are just 19 drivers on the grid, so we end this series here 😔

Thanks bestie, I really appreciate that you had a lot of fun reading this cuz even I had fun typing all this!! At least I get to distract myself from studies this way 😅

AMAZING. ANALYSIS. AGAIN. you are wonderful, your mind is legit superior. I'm bowing down to you.

I love the parallels between Este and Jimmy/Larry!! Mick and Bronny are great as well, I had no idea there's a similar story in NBA. The way you connected George to Devon, OH MY GOD. poetry. *chefs kiss* Pierre being like Damian, carrying the team😭

we only know 19 drivers and that's okay! this was sooo much fun to read!!!! I loved it! wanna start doing it for each sport i know when I'm bored😂

thank you soooooo much for educating and entertaining mee!!!! so much love and respect <3

#amazing. just WOW #f1 and bb🏀#aloo answers!#heureux4430

You

Pairing: San x Reader

Genre: Fluff

Inspired: I love you 3000 by Stephanie Poetri, its not a songfic I just felt like typing something super fluffy after listening to this song

Summary: It felt like something straight out of a movie, you saw him once, you looked for him, you found him

So many blind dates, you didn’t know what to do. Playing matchmaker as such you haven’t found one who has interested you. Of course, you’re not super pretty but you like to think that you’re pretty enough for yourself. You felt beautiful, that's all that mattered.

Once again you excused yourself after your friends left with the guys they were interested in.

“I’ll head out first..” You smiled and picked up your bag. The guy left stumbled over his words but couldn’t say anything before you left.

You let out a sigh as soon as you got on your bed. There was one guy, the one you were searching for. But college campuses were huge so you were unsure if you would ever find him. You thought back when you first saw him.

_______________________________________________________________________

“Excuse me, do you-“ the person walked off before you could finish your sentence. You sighed in frustrations when a guy comes.

“Do you need help?” He asked, and you let out a big sigh.

“Yeah uh..” You fumbled with your phone trying to point to this location on your phone. “I’m really bad with directions so I can’t find this building. My interview is at 11..” You desperately asked and he looked at the location.

“That’s across campus.” He said and looked at his watch. “You don’t have much time..”

You let out a sad sigh. “What do I do…?” You let out.

“We don’t have much time, so it’s okay if I grab it right?” He asked and you were confused when he grabbed your wrist and pulled you. You both ran to the building and somehow you got there on time. You took deep breaths when you quickly thanked him and walked toward the interview room. You took one last look at him.

When you finished and exited the room, he was gone.

_______________________________________________________________________

You walk into a coffee shop just a few blocks away from the campus. Looking at the menu you couldn’t help but hear laughter from a corner of the room. You let a small smile as you cashier greeted you.

After order, you take your stuff and sit at a table. You heard more laughter and curiosity took over so you looked towards the direction. That’s when you found him. He was sitting there, laughing with his friends. You quickly looked down at your papers, when you heard your name being called. You got up and quickly got your drink. As you got back to your seat, you can sort of hear their conversation but you didn’t want to rude and listen in. As you continue to do your work, they all got up at some point and started making their way to the exit. As they walked by, one of them turned towards the guy.

“So San, you still looking for that girl?” A guy who was really tall and had blondish hair asked.

San. What a cute name. You secretly smiled to yourself as you had just found his name.

___________________________________________________________________

You continued to go to the coffee shop, in hopes to see him again. As you took a break from your studying, you received a text from your friend.

(F1/N) : Hey, you want to go on a group blind date?

(F2/N) : Pleaseee~

(Y/n) : Sure, when?

(F1/N) : tomorrow, at 17:30?

(Y/N) : Okay~

_____________________________________________________________________

On the day, you met up with your friends a few minutes beforehand. They both are putting some last-minute touches of their makeup as you retouched your lips. You all hear footsteps, and your friends quickly put away their makeup palettes.

As the boys entered, your friends shyly waved, that when you saw him. Your heart started beating. You let a small smile slip as they all walked over.

“Hello.” You all greeted each other. You all played a game where you all introduced your names.

Throughout the night, he was the life of the night. Making cute jokes, being loud, and just genuinely a kind person.

______________________________________________________________________

Later that night, he sent you a text.

San : did you get home safely?

(Y/n) : Yes, did you?

San : hahah yeah, well good luck on studying, its testing week!~

(Y/n) : thank you~! Good luck to you too~~

You sent that text, with a smile on your face.

As the months go by, you both got closer. He would text and ask if you wanted to hang out. Of course, you said yes.

“So what’s your plan today?” He asked as you two walked towards the cafeteria.

“Hmm, eat and then maybe go to the coffee shop and study.” You said and he looks at you.

“Shall we study together?” He asked and you nodded.

“Sure.” You said with a smile. He chuckles and you just fall more with his smile. He looks at you with this smirk.

“You’re staring at me..” He smirked, “You’re not falling for me are you?” Your face flushed and you let out a sarcastic chuckle.

“I don’t know.” You let out and he raised an eyebrow. “I mean I just want your dimples..” You said. You poked your right cheek with your right index finger. “If I do this, will I get them?” You asked. He just laughs at you.

“I think you’re perfect the way you are.” He gives you a wink, which made your heart skip a beat. You playfully hit him as you both continued your way. He then pokes your cheeks.

“Cute.” He says as he runs off afterward. You yell and follow him.

“San..” You pout as he slowed down for you.

_______________________________________________________________________

After getting lunch you both walked over to the cafe and you take out your stuff.

“I never asked but you were the guy who helped me find the building… Am I right?” You asked as you both had just taken out your school notes. San sat there and thought for a bit. His actions made you question yourself before he busted into a smile.

“Yeah.” He said cheekily. You pout as he just chuckled about your reaction.

“Thank you..” You said and he shrugged.

“It’s nothing. I’m glad you made it in time.” He said. He placed his chin into the palm of his hands as his elbows rested on the table. You blushed. You looked at him. You can feel it. In his eyes, he wants to ask. He wanted to ask you the question. The butterflies took over as you shy away from his stare.

You both studied for a while when he started to complain about studying. You just softly smile as you ignored his whines.

“(Y/N)..” He cooed. You looked up to see him leaned over the table.

“Yes?” You asked and he pouts.

“Can we go?” He asked and you just softly laugh.

“Yeah, let’s go..” You said as you start packing your stuff. He let out a small ‘yay’ and started packing his stuff. As you both walked to your place, you couldn’t help but look at him again. San smiled as he caught you staring.

“(Y/n).” He stopped and you stopped with him.

“Hmm?” You looked at him. San took your hand and smiled at you. His dimples showing, his eye smile showing.

“Let’s start dating..” He stated. It wasn’t even a question, but a statement. You let a big smile slipped.

“Yah, that is even a question..” You said, laughing and playfully hitting him. He laughed along with you before taking a hold on your other hand.

“Okay.. then (y/n).. Will you go out with me?” San asked and you give him a smile.

“Do you know me well enough?” You asked and he let a small pout as he thought. “What do you think I’ll say?” You continued.

“I think you’ll say ‘yes’?” He said and you shook your head.

“No…” You said, he was a bit confused. “That’s not enough…” You smiled, “I’ll love to..” You answered. He smiled his signature smile and interlocked his hand into yours.

Hand in hand you both, he walked you home.

Huh? What kind of game do you have planned Ouma?

Which of us shall move first?

Ladies first, as always.

As you wish.

*White Pawn to C4*

You ever think about life like this?

*Black Pawn to G6*

What do you mean?

*White Knight to F3*

I mean, it’s funny. People like us have so many more privileges than commons. We get to exercise all kinds of power they could only dream about.

*Black Knight to F6*

I am aware, though I do not cherish that fact.

*White Knight to C3*

Why not? I would’ve thought someone lifted out of poverty would jump at the chance. You’d finally have all the power and wealth you could ever ask for.

*Black Bishop to G7*

I never cared for the glitterati of the Ultimate Program. I accepted it as a chance to serve the country.

*White Pawn to D4*

Oh yeah, that’s right. You’re a Utilitarian, aren’t you? It’s all about the needs of the many with you.

As a Supreme Leader of Evil, I used the chance to build up our arsenal. We have more weapons than some countries now. Maybe a few people got hurt and disappeared, but who cares? They were all to happy to keep me in power over the rest of my family.

Seems we’re on opposite ends. A Utilitarian who believes in one for all and a dictator who believes in all for one.

*Castling: King to G8, Rook to F8*

As if I would believe that story. No such organization could exist and remain unnoticed.

Though you are correct: I do believe in a selfless devotion to all people. That is why I have chosen to serve as a maid. It is not merely a talent or a title, but my decision to serve. To bring happiness to others.

*White pawn to E4*

What kind of a life is that? You’re happy being a slave?

I am not a slave.

Nishishishi, sorry. I’m just so used to dealing with my organization’s own slaves, it’s hard to tell the difference.

Seriously though, don’t you ever get tired of dealing with people? If you serve them, they’ll never really appreciate at you, just take you for granted.

*Black pawn to D5*

I have my limits, yes. I have dealt with my fair share of masters who I am loath to speak of.

However, they do not represent the bulk of my clientele. They were kind to me, asked me for assistance, and I was more than happy to not only serve them, but to help them realize their potential.

I have served both Ultimates and Commons, in positions as high as CEOs and politicians, to those who could only barely afford my services. At times, I even worked for free. I saw that they needed assistance and I was more than willing to provide.

*White Queen to B3*

How very noble of you, Tojo-san. An Ultimate sticking up for those poor unfortunate souls.

Except, from the sound of it, you’re missing one crucial detail.

That being?

No matter how talented, connected, or powerful you are, you can’t help everyone. As a Utilitarian, you should know that.

*Black pawn to C4. White pawn captured*

Perhaps not. But I shall make the attempt regardless.

*White queen to C4. Black pawn captured*

So you really don’t care about your well-being? What about your needs? Your dreams? Do you really think other people are going to help you achieve them?

Believe me, when the masses are sure they can’t get anything out of people like you anymore, they’ll turn on you.

*Black pawn to C6*

I do not serve for the sake of popularity. I wish to help as many people as I possibly can.

Negative opinions hold no sway over me. It simply motivates me to work harder.

*White pawn to E4*

It does, does it?

You sure didn’t feel that way when the Prime Minister’s house burned down.

*Black knight to D7*

…how do you even know-

I had my minions do a little digging before I signed up for Project Gofer. I know a loooot about the people on this ship.

I think you were a perfect fit for Prime Minister! You were so smart and diligent when the people needed you, helped them whenever they needed it…

…and then it all burned down in one night. Tough break.

…

If this is your attempt at throwing me off, it is a painfully shallow one.

*White Rook to D1*

So it doesn’t bother you anymore? All those deaths don’t weigh on your conscience?

*Black Knight to B6*

I have moved past it. While I mourn for theirs deaths in what was an utterly senseless and disgusting waste of life, my priority here and now is the lives of everyone aboard this ship.

Wallowing in my guilt and self-pity nearly cost them their lives. I will not allow that to happen again.

*White Queen to C5*

I see. I mean, your girlfriend did almost get strangled to death. Nice to know that your sense of morality is most important when it affects you specifically.

*Black Bishop to G4*

And I was able to save her, subdue Shinguji, and the others were rescued. No lives were lost.

It may surprise you, but I do have personal desires. This was one of the occasions where they coincided perfectly with those of everyone else.

More importantly, Kaede has taught me how to embrace my own emotions. It is true I neglected my feelings for too long, to the point where I did not know how to deal with them. She has done more for me than I ever thought possible. Of course I will defend her. I will defend her even if it costs me my own life.

*White bishop to E2*

…

Good for you! I’m happy to know you’re actually a human being and not some emotionless, soulless robot!

*Black Knight to A4*

There is no need for your prejudiced commentary.

So you’re a friend of robots too, huh? Why? Robots aren’t people.

Can a robot write poetry? Paint? Compose a song? Can you do anything besides compute data? No. They’re cold and unfeeling.

Can you do such things?

…

I thought as much.

*Castling: King to F1, Rook to E1*

If a machine is capable of independent thought, of creating new ideas, and even of exhibiting romantic attraction, they are a person in my eyes.

I prefer the Cartesian view on intelligence: I think, therefore I am.

You sure do care a lot about people, don’t you, Tojo-san?

*Black Rook to B8*

Absolutely.

Does it ever hurt?

At times, yes.

It’s easier not to feel, isn’t it? To just be in it for yourself.

If I wanted an easy life, I would never have become a maid.

*White Queen to E5*

Ain’t that the truth.

Even then, sometimes you get great opportunities just handed to you.

*Black Queen to D4. White Pawn captured*

And I gladly take them should they offer me a necessary step forward.

*White Queen to D4. Black Queen Captured*

Not everything turns out for the best, of course.

*Black Bishop to C8*

Tell me: you claim to be the Supreme Leader of some sort of clandestine organization.

If it does exist, what exactly is the purpose of your group?

*White Rook to D2*

I’m afraid can’t tell you that, Tojo-san.

If you ever found out, I’m afraid I’d have to kill you. Not by my own hands, of course. My subordinates would take care of you for me, and it would look just like an accident.

*Black Knight to C3. White Knight Captured*

Considering your reputation as a liar, I remain undaunted.

*White Bishop to C4*

I wouldn’t think like that if I were you. We have members everywhere, all of them closer than you might think.

*Black Knight to D5*

If I can survive assaults from Red Rain and a serial killer, I am certain your organization poses no greater threat.

*White Bishop to E5*

That might be true. You are pretty physically capable.

But you remember what happened with Hoshi-chan and his family, don’t you?

If you really want to hurt someone, you go after everyone and everything they care about.

*Black Knight to A2. White pawn captured*

Assuming, of course, that you are a greater power than them. If not, that plan falls to pieces.

*White pawn to D5. Black Knight Captured*

When one of us falls, we strike back even harder.

*Black pawn to D5. White pawn captured*

Then those under threat from you make themselves more prepared. Or perhaps a better strategy…

We strike close to your home as well, as a signal not to mess with us.

*White bishop to G7. Black bishop captured*

So you would be willing to do that? Hit close to your enemy’s home? Go after their families and loved ones just like they did to you?

*Black Bishop to E6*

If that is what it would come down to, as a way to put an end to the threat…

So be it.

*White Bishop to A2. Black Knight captured*

Alright, then let me ask you this…

What if it turns out the ones you’re trying to defend aren’t who they say they are?

*Black Rook to C8*

If they are truly a part of my adversary?

*White Bishop to B3*

Not exactly. What I mean is, what if it turns out the person that you’re so sure that they are…is just one big lie?

They claimed to be a good friend, supported you, got as close to you as they could.

*Black Rook to C4*

*White Bishop to C4. Black Rook Captured*

But it was all just one ploy. You were never more than a means to an end for them. Once they get what they need, they stab you in the back.

*Black pawn to C4. White Bishop captured*

You have a very negative view on other people. I can assure you that the people I have spent the last few months with on this ship are nothing of that sort.

*White pawn to G3*

As a Supreme Leader, it’s obvious my sense of morality would be different from the norm.

And can you really say that so confidently? I mean, didn’t Momota-chan pretend to not be sick just so he could explore that planet? He almost got himself, Saihara-chan and Akamatsu-chan killed.

And Shinguji-chan had been lying since even before Project Gofer started back on Earth. A serial killer with almost 100 victims pretending to be a friendly anthropologist.

How are you so sure that the others don’t have their secrets? Hell, you guys have been speculating about who among us might be a Red Rain member.

I am starting to believe that was merely paranoia at work.

And that’s when it happens. You get comfortable with the people you’re close to, just like they want you to. You open up to them, let them see you for who you really are, pretending they’re doing the same…

And when you open your heart to them, they’ve got you.

*Black bishop to H3. Check*

And how am I certain you are not merely lying about all of this?

Perhaps there is some truth in your words, but I am more than certain you are trying to incite distrust among us.

*White King to G1*

It’s not like that, I swear.

I’m just…scared, y’know? You’re one of the only people around here I feel like I can open my heart to. What if there’s really a Red Rain member here? You saw what they do to people like us.

*Black pawn to F6*

Your concerns are not entirely baseless I admit, but pointing fingers and accusing the others of lying will not do us any good.

*White bishop to H6*

But we gotta do something to protect ourselves.

*Black rook to E8*

Yes, and that means building trust between us. Ensuring that we work together through any crisis we may face out here.

You can be certain of one thing: driving others away, accusing them of lying and manipulating, all of that will ultimately leave you alone and defenseless. None will stand beside you.

*White queen to C4. Black pawn taken. Check*

Do you love Akamatsu-chan?

*Black king to H8*

Of course I do.

I advise you not make any suggestions that she intends to betray me or anyone else here.

Such accusations will not turn out well for you.

*White rook to E3*

You said you’d be willing to die for her. She really inspires that much love and devotion out of you?

*Black pawn to G5*

Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

*White queen to E4*

Funny how she kinda does that with everyone, huh?

She’s always been that big inspirational leader whenever we needed one. She’s kept this mission going while most of us were still asleep. It’s like she’s nothing but sunshine and optimism.

*Black pawn to E6*

But nobody’s right 100% of the time.

Of course not. She has made mistakes, as we all have.

But on the whole, I doubt we would be anywhere near this organized if we did not have her around.

I do not even wish to contemplate what such a situation would be like.

Yeah, no kidding…

With her, I have no doubt that we will all stand together as a team, and we shall find the truth.

*White pawn to F4*

You can talk about friendship and cooperation all you want, but what happens if there’s some kind of schism? What if things break down or someone goes murder-happy again? Hell, what if this whole ship descends into civil war?

*Black rook to D4. White Knight captured*

I cannot see it happening, but in the unlikely even that it does, then we act to resolve the situation by whatever means necessary. We do not allow any loss of life to occur, no matter the circumstances. I stand by what I said: even if my efforts prove futile, I will persist to the very end.

*White Queen to C2*

You can’t seriously expect all of us to make it off this ship alive if that happens, can you?

*Black rook to F4. White pawn captured*

Ouma-san, I understand where you are coming from, we have escaped such situations in the past.

It seems as though we have a habit of escaping situations that would have otherwise killed us.

As Kaede likes to say, there is nothing we cannot accomplish if we work together. Victory shall always be within our reach. And speaking of victory…

*White queen to C8. Checkmate*

Wh-

Wow. Great work, Tojo-san, I’m impressed!

Was this request merely an excuse to have this conversation with me?

Mostly, but I also wanted to have some fun. And I got to learn a lot about you too!

Of course, there’s only so much you can learn in chess.

Anyway, I’m going back to my room. Thanks for the game! See ya later!

*He leaves*

I wonder what his true intentions with this were…

In any event, I need to get back to my duties.

💖✨🍰!

Thank you for asking 🥺💜💙

💖 What do you like most about your own writing?

I guess I like that I try to make it immersive? I like to use imagery (sometimes too much), and I like inner monologs because they resonate with me. But that's how I see writing.

✨ Choose three adjectives to compliment your own writing.

🙀 I don't know!!!

The one I get very often is poetic so that's one, and I take that as a compliment because I'm avid reader and I especially like poetry.

I guess realistic? I try to be at least, I like to embellish things but I also don't shy away from describing raw feelings.

And a last adjective... I don't know 😭 I would say emotional? Is that even a compliment? Idk, I often try to make readers feel the same as the character? I want it to be relatable, make people feel warm if it's fluff or make people ache with pain if it's angst.

🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave).

Oh gosh OK. I won't be F1 related because I must confess I haven't read that many F1 fics yet. Just because I like to create my own dynamics first before I read any pairing I'm interested in, that way I don't get influenced by other writers!

But there's the first series I think I read when I was much younger (It's in French and it's WWE): Fire and Ice. I have such fond memories of it and I have revisited it a few times in the past.

There's the We Should Just Kiss collection that is a Captain America/Political Animals crossover.

And I swear I had some supernatural ones but I'm terrible with Ao3 and I bookmark with my browser and not their bookmark feature and I lost a lot of stuff like last year 😭

Fanfic ask game here! Ask me, ask me!

#Thank you for asking 💙💜#Game tag #ask answered

Donald Trump Isn’t Stopping This Pakistani Muslim Immigrant From Having Hope

As Inauguration Day looms, a million thoughts are running through my head. How could the America I had come to love, to feel accepted in, be about to swear in a leader who resented me for my residency status, my religion and even my gender? And what would it mean for me, a Pakistani Muslim immigrant whose visa is up for renewal in the summer of 2017, to be living in Trumps America, side by side with people who seemingly dont want me here and who now have a leader in power who appears to share that opinion?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Like many other immigrants from high risk, terror prone areas, those of us here that have to apply for new visas after years on F1 student visas, are in limbo, left in suspense about where our immigration status will stand under the soon-to-be President Donald Trump. We are at the mercy of his unpredictability, wondering if he will follow through on his promises and weed out those of us who dont belong here.

We are at the mercy of [Donald Trump’s] unpredictability, wondering if he will follow through on his promises and weed out those of us who dont ‘belong’ here.

Over the course of his campaign, Trump made several different statements saying that people like me people who come from Muslim-majority nations will no longer be allowed to immigrate into the country. During the presidential cycle, we were forced to laugh it off and hope that maybe this man would not end up having control over the system that determined the direction of the rest of our lives. But now that the day to hand over power is nearly here, we cant help but worry what decision he will actually make once he gets into office.

Will we merely be harassed as we apply to stay in this country, or will we be completely denied residency status and lose the careers and lives we have worked so hard to build?

What makes the eve of inauguration harder still is coming to terms with how we, I, got here, because the very election of Donald Trump has shattered my perception of America and my place in it.

As a child living in Lahore, Pakistan, the reality of U.S tensions with the Middle East seemed distant. But as an adult, the realization that I sit in the U.S., the idea that my fate is now being influenced by a conflict I never knew I was involved in, in a nation that crippled my own in many ways and gave my religion the bad name it never deserved, seems to be one of the greatest ironies of my life.

Pakistani children are raised to view moving to the United States as the end goal. And as a result, many of us end up here for our college educations. We come to the U.S. as young college students, expecting only the best of everything. The best facilities, resources, universities, people and students.

The realization that my fate is now being influenced by a conflict I never knew I was involved in, in a nation that crippled my own in many ways and gave my religion the bad name it never deserved, seems to be one of the greatest ironies of my life.

I came to America in the fall of 2012. Back then, all those promises seemed real. On the eve of Obamas re-election, I had been in the country for three months, and it was a magical time to be at a liberal arts college. It gave a newcomer the impression of a progressive, transformed America on its way to great things; it gave me the hope of the upward mobility I had always been told would come of leaving my family and friends behind in Pakistan for this education.

The 2016 election season was the first year I lived in the U.S. post-college. I had spent the months leading up to graduation convincing my family that staying in the U.S. was the best option for me, that there was no reason for me to return to Pakistan and live at home. Here, I had told them, I would be in a better position to attain the future I desired.

But the closer we got to Trumps inauguration, the more I realized that those feelings were the assumptions of a sheltered experience, even as an immigrant. After seeing the promise Obama represented, Trumps political ascension was a rude awakener.

The election results reiterated in bold letters, that in case I had ever considered adopting such an identity, I am not and cannot be American, despite being a product of its education and social system. As an immigrant in purgatory, neither here nor there, I found myself suddenly unable to move forward.

And so, I began to look back. The reality of my present had me navigating an all-too-familiar battle between sentiment and logic I had put on mute long ago. To return to Pakistan? Or stay?

If I stay, how do I live in a country that has effectively voted for me to leave?

Their message is irrevocably clear: Your Islam is not welcome. Your skin color is not welcome. Your dark features and your dark green passport will taint you here as long as you have them.

But maybe I should ignore it and stay. For my future. I reasoned with myself.

But where was I really?

The election results reiterated in bold letters, that in case I had ever considered adopting such an identity, I am not and cannot be American.

In many ways, it felt like I had regressed. I was in a culture that stood in complete dismissal of the religious and racial parts of my ethnic background while actively fetishizing the food I ate and the clothes I wore.

It was a culture that removed Islam from all Muslim contributions to the world to make them more palatable from mystic Rumi poetry to the world wonder that is the Mughal Taj Mahal.

During the Obama years that defined my college experience, there had been times when people exhibited backwards perceptions of my country and my culture, when people had exoticized it. But it had never gotten to a point where it felt like my identity was a negative presence or something that should be rejected by those who were more American or more easily able to fit into the lifestyle here. But now, I couldnt help but question the value of my desire to chase the American dream. Was it worth it when that dream seemed more and more like it was becoming a nightmare?

Pakistani day laborers rest by the side of the road as they wait for work in Islamabad on June 24, 2012. Rising unemployment and inflation together have increased hunger and poverty among the most vulnerable in Pakistan.

Pakistans declining political and economic situation leaves many young and capable people unable to find sustainable work. Instead of staying and contributing, they leave for greener pastures, in search of better opportunities. I had done the same.

Today, Im not ready to give up on the American dream and go home just yet. And so, I find myself in a place where I can do nothing but wait.

In the wake of increased Islamophobia and threats to the place of Muslims and immigrants in the country, many of us are too afraid to leave for fear of being denied re-entry Hasan Minhaj even broke his typical jokey banter on the Daily Show to voice his concerns about his mother being allowed back into America post-Trump inauguration. And my immigration officer contacted me and other foreign employees, advising us to immediately apply for more secure visas and refrain from international travel.

Im not ready to give up on the ‘American dream’ and go home just yet.

But its not been easy staying here, especially in the backdrop of a society that at least in part seems to reject what I stand for and challenge the America I have lived in and loved these past few years.

Staying meant that the year that I had not been home to Lahore was extended. Staying meant that, for me and other Pakistanis, Trump was our personal Grinch for the holiday season.

We missed the barrage of weddings that define this time of year, missed family reunions and the one time in the year we are able to return to our childhood comforts.

A close friend still feels betrayed that I will not be attending her graduation. Another is upset I did not dance at her wedding, the wedding we had planned together since we were little girls. And even missing my siblings school functions, functions that I would usually consider ridiculous (my 8-year-old sister is extremely proud at having finished fifth in the 100 meter race at school), feel like I am missing out on watching my family grow up.

I have already missed so much, and it seems with the threat of decreased mobility in a Trump administration, I am destined to miss much more. I fear the distance I already feel will solidify and lengthen on Inauguration Day, and its making me anxious. It is then that I will learn what fate awaits me in the summer when my student visa expires and when I want to go home for a family visit.

In terms of politics, the difference between the old and new POTUS will not be immediately felt. But with the kind of extreme, unstable remarks Donald Trump regularly issues, I am not positive the impact will be delayed for much longer.

For Pakistanis, seeing the great impenetrable nation in such visible distress induces mild amusement and perhaps a stirring of pity. We are not in the business of interfering, and so we will watch as Trump attempts to fill Obamas well-worn shoes on Jan. 20 and every day thereafter with profound sadness for the loss of one of the best men to ever occupy the Oval Office. We will sit with a sense of foreboding for what is in store for America and its subjects, particularly those that bear our skin color and our religion.

While my American friends will joke and hope that they come out of the next four years with as few bruises as possible, I simply hope to survive.

And for me, the country will never be quite the same. I will walk around with a pit in my stomach as I try to make a life in a nation that has changed from a sanctuary to a place where I am constantly a suspect. And while my American friends will joke and hope that they come out of the next four years with as few bruises as possible, I simply hope to survive in the country that I hope to call home for as long as I can.

Trump may never see the dangers involved in making a scapegoat of a religious people or of minorities who have come here for a better life, and so we Muslims and immigrants must implore the average American to see past the blind hatred and the political propaganda. So on the eve of Inauguration Day, to those of you who are not in my situation, who may not be forcefully removed or under threat in Trumps America, I want to reiterate that our presence in this nation relies on your humanity. This land of immigrants will soon have the very symbol of anti-immigrant rhetoric as its greatest representative, and we look to our American counterparts to rise to the occasion. I hope our faith is not misplaced.

The Huffington Post is documenting the rising wave of anti-Muslim bigotry and violence in America. Take a stand against hate.
