Just finished The Santaroga Barrier by Frank Herbert (my dad likes to play audiobooks in the car on trips) and I didn't like it much (and there's quite a bit of Yikes in it, because frank herbert and the 1960s in general,) but the aspect I found most interesting was the concept of like. A world's subconscious desire to kill The Other.

In the book an investigator visits a small cultish town in order to investigate it for a market study after a few other researchers mysteriously died. he gets into a frightening number of "accidents" while he's there (like the former investigators) and starts believing that there was a conspiracy among the townsfolk and all of them were intentionally trying to murder him.

tl;dr, it turns out it actually was a subconscious yet intense phobia/hatred they had of The Outside they had as part of their personal traumas, childhood indoctrination into their local cult, and the LSD-like drug they were constantly on. They didn't mean the investigator any harm, if anything they were extremely welcoming, kind, well-meaning people, but this background radiation of fear and rage kept making them accidentally do things to kill him - mixing up insecticide and spices in his food, gas fumes being pumped in his hotel room after a botched maintenance job, a torn carpet tripping him off the railing of the balcony, and Many Other subtle attempts on his life that he just happened to avoid by sheer chance.

But all the townsfolk don't really think anything of it - the town doctor, especially skeptical, "diagnoses" him as "accident-prone" until the investigator begs and pleads with him for days after several brutal accidents in a row, and only then does the doctor start believing him but even then only comes up with the theory that all of this supposed malice towards the investigator is "subconscious" - later shown to likely be correct when the investigator himself, after overdosing on their special drug, "accidentally" shoves his colleague off a roof, killing him, but the investigator physically cannot see it as anything but an accident anymore. it simply doesn't reach his mind that he killed a former friend of his. it was just an accident. he just fell, all on his own.

the idea of A Town That Wants To Kill You, But It's Nothing Personal resonated with me from the perspective of being a disabled person, especially one in a generally welcoming, accepting environment. when you're disabled, not a lot of people will come to you bearing their ableism between their teeth. They'll be nice, insensitive maybe, but nice, and are often outwardly willing to accomodate you. But they also stick out their leg as you're walking along to trip you. They'll apologize, and you'll maybe even believe it, even though to you, from your perspective, it was obviously an attempt to harm you. You excuse it once, maybe twice, but after a point, you realize that this world, this community you have entered, is actively hostile towards you and everyone like you. so you start screaming it to the rooftops. you tell authorities that the world wants to hurt you, but they begin affixing labels to you like "paranoid" or "anxious". they know no one actually has it out for you, personally, after all. that would be ridiculous.

but you still keep getting tripped down the stairs. the rat poison and the sugar at your favorite coffee shop still keep getting mixed up, but only when it's your order. in the hospital, recovering from your previous "accidents", a nurse will still accidentally pump you full of saline instead of medicine.

after a point, doesn't the fact that all of these are "accidents", and that no one WANTS to kill you, just... stop mattering a little bit? Yeah, no one wants to hurt you, but they just keep doing it. They keep making stupid little mistakes. They know everyone like you who has visited their community has died or been seriously injured under suspicious circumstances, but the idea that they, themselves, could be a little bit at fault just doesn't even register to them. they don't even consider that they might have to change their ways in order to protect people like you. After all, you can't prepare for every "freak accident". Even when the solution could be as simple as "stop putting rat poison next to the sugar", every time it happens to you, or a person like you, it's just an "accident", that no one "meant" any harm, and "nothing could be done".

it doesn't cross their mind that a string of unfortunate accidents ceases to be accidents, but serious negligence. it can't cross their mind, because they're not the victims here. they only even begin to acknowledge something might be wrong when the victims are screaming in their face, day after day. even then, they come to the conclusion that even if you're right, and the community does want to kill you because you are Other, they won't immediately see anything wrong with that. To Them, the answer is clear as day: just become one of Them, and you'll be safe. They take care of their own.

#this isn't even really what the santaroga barrier is even about i just found this to be a useful structure for talking about disability #It's not... NOT what it's about??#it's definitely got themes of Otherness #but it's more about like.#My dad put it as 'how much of your individuality would you give up to live in paradise'#which is also interesting to think about but . imo if i have to give up parts of myself it would no longer be paradise #But also a lot of what the cult-town tries to get you to 'give up' is. like. Believing in capitalism #And to me it definitely feels like Herbert was on the santarogan's side with that part at least but it's still interesting that that's like #it's still interesting that That of all things is what you have to give up in order to Become Santarogan.#Like. Personally i'd have to change very little to become a santarogan. the trade off for me is not that huge #which makes the protagonist actually seem a little unhinged and unnecessarily hostile #Does daesin just want to believe in capitalism That Badly even when he doesn't understand that that's what this is about #Is it like the scene from They Live where the protagonist tries to get his friend to wear the Anticapitalism Sunglasses but the friend #just refuses point blank even though he has no reason to?#idk. it's definitely an interesting premise. but the racisms. and the misogynies. it's really hard to look past that #especially the part where one black character describes himself like #'before [santaroga] i was an ignorant [n slur hard r]. now i am an educated n-gro“#which was just. holy fucking shit. that is unspeakably awful. shut the fuck up frank #Also a part where a woman disrobes herself to prove herself to be no harm to the investigator [her fiancee]#and he says something like. 'you're so beautiful i just might rape you' and shes just like teehee thats sweet :)#Which. Bad. Very nasty. Don't say that.#And the general concept of potentially using that woman to lure the investigator into the cult. it's unclear how much of that was #on purpose on the part of santarogans but it does have this slimy Women Are Evil Temptresses That Trap Men In Bad Situations miasma to it #anyways. sorry for blabbing on and on about a 50 year old book by the same guy who wrote dune which is clearly an unquestionable masterpiece #/s.#I just had no choice in listening to this story while sitting in the back of a car on Very Empty Montana And Wyoming Highways #so I might as well rotate it just a little I guess. nothing better to do

I don’t understand so many lines of thought certain people had going into this show but one of ones I understand least is people who thought they were going to watch the whole affair storyline unfold not only with no physical intimacy, but also no emphasis on them being attracted to each other, and also no one actively flirting with anyone else like????

#and I mean they do talk about being attracted to each other physically in the book too as well as emotional and creative bonding #and there are lines in the book I would not classify as Not actively flirting less of it yes because of format but #they can’t monologue/describe how they feel about each other + have outsider povs on them all the time like in the book.#the show has to Show (lol) you things the book can tell you or imply to you #it’s a different format… it’s like some of you don’t know how tv as a medium Works.#also ‘I need to have characters spell out/tell me their motivations to be sympathetic I refuse to actually do the work to analyze based on #What’s being communicated to me visually’ 💀#s speaks #Especially especially how people engage with show Daisy drives me insane like….#‘I could deal with her perusing him a little in the book but the show made her Too persuer-y and shameless and a heartless homewrecker #I can’t love her as a character anymore because she doesn’t constantly look into the camera and tell me she knows what she’s doing is wrong #/apologize/generally convey she thinks she’s a horrible person (I mean show Daisy totally hates herself as much as book Daisy does if you #pay Any Attention she can also be hella compassionate again if you Pay Attention #like she’s not some one dimensional heartless woman Riley plays her as So humanized and complex idk what to tell you.#But like. you bitches don’t deserve her glad I get to keep Her (show Daisy) for myself #((you don’t deserve book Daisy either imo like you don’t deserve to say you care about her at all imo but anyway))#I’ve said this before but in a way it’s a good thing the discourse surrounding the adaptation and a lot of the crit is so dumb #because it heightens my own experience/enjoyment tbh #and makes the criticisms I do have less of a sticking point than they would be otherwise

Make Or Brake - F1 Grid

Summary: With F1 comes pressure. A thousandth of a second can be what makes a champion. But it can also be what makes a runner up.

Ferrari 2025 driver!reader (soz we're sacrificing Lewis)

Tell me why I cried writing this like I'm actually out here living life about to be the next Ferrari champion?

Warnings: dark humour at the very end (very mild imo, but some people might get upset idk)

No part 2 requests please

Being up against Charles Leclerc, the prince of Ferrari for the 2025 championship as 2nd year F1 driver who similarly to Charles got her chance in Sauber for 2024 and then pulled up early when Lewis withdrew from his Ferrari contract in favour of retirement.

Y/n y/l/n has been the name in all the headlines. Herself and Charles back and forth. Down to the last race in Abu Dhabi.

To everyone's surprise, neither have animosity towards the other. Though they've not exactly been close in the past few races.

"Y/n, how are you feeling going into this race? You are on the cusp of history." A reporter asks in the press conference making her laugh and look at the others. "And I would also like to ask how the others feel seeing you prove yourself throughout this season?"

"Uhhh...I feel good. The car has been amazing. It's...it's beyond words. I know how lucky I am to be this close, I don't want to get cocky. This is...a one time opportunity with this race. Last time we saw such a close call, I know it was very dramatic and controversial. I do have to say if I have to lose to anyone, I think I'd be honoured to lose to Charles. However, I don't plan on losing and you can all write that in whatever way you'd like. Add in some sparkling dramatic extra words and attitude into that for the world to read in the headlines." Y/n grins earning a laugh from the room.

"I'm excited to see it. I know who I'm putting money on but I think we'd all be happy to see either of them win." Max nods since he's the one losing his consecutive winning streak after Ferrari pulled their car out the bag.

"Same, I mean. It is nice to see y/n proving that there all the headlines coming into this season were wrong. I think it's nice to see her prove the people who doubted her eat their words." Kevin states, always an advocate for women in motorsport and oddly the most outspoken of how great it is to see her doing well.

"Thanks." Y/n grins leaning towards the blonde man.

"Y/n is probably the best driver on the grid, no mistakes aside from...what? You spun in the wet and saved it but we were under a red flag anyway?" Lando jokes earning a grin from the young woman. "I want to see y/n take that win. I think we all do, even Charles to an extent would be happy to see her win."

"That might be too generous." Y/n laughs shaking her head but Lando reaches and pats her knee with a laugh.

"I believe he'd be a good loser to only you. Anyone else he'd run off the road." Lando grins earning a hum and small shrug.

"We'll see when I cross that line."

The reports don't hide that y/n is the only one of interest and the rest of the drivers are forced to endure her getting all the attention.

"So will we be seeing your hand of cards from the start of the weekend?"

"Definitely not. Never let even your teammate know your next move. It's going to come out at some point but we won't even debrief together right now. We're essentially two separate teams with each side of the garage on our own agenda. We've got the constructors so really for the both of us, it's each driver for themselves."

The faces of the other drivers speak for themselves, it's bold words and the rest of the room doesn't look much less surprised. Though Max and Lando are somewhat impressed.

"FP1 is not usually so important and it's still not telling. Both having confirmed that they don't see much of each other at the moment because they want to focus entirely on themselves." Martin states as they watch y/n pull out into the pit lane.

"Yeah, they've made no secret about it. It's quite obvious that the Ferrari drivers are not working under team orders now they've got the constructors they're the front runners and they're only concerned about each other." Crofty confirms then chuckling. "Ted?"

"Hi, yes. Hello. I'm looking at Charles' garage. He's still sitting inside, y/n is out on the track and it seems to be confirming that they have entirely different strategies. I have tried to speak to Ferrari. They are choosing not to comment about y/n and Charles' confirmation of only concerning themselves about themselves." Ted explains then puffing out a breath. "I think we might have the most exciting weekend we've had since we watched the silver arrows up against each other."

Y/n has decided that she's not giving feed back on radio at least not out on track for it to be broadcast. Her feedback is purely in garage when the camera and radio is off from live broadcast.

Eventually they find a good set up and she decides she's happy leaving FP1.

FP2 is a similar story to FP1, she's finding the sweet spot that she wants to work with.

"Charlie." Y/n laughs as they each walk out from their debriefs.

"Y/n." Charles chuckles as they hug and walk out the unit together.

They might be against each other, they might be plotting the others demise and ready to pull the dirtiest but least costly moves to themselves in order to win. But they're friends, they're teammates and at the end of the day they can't encourage hostility towards each other.

"How you feeling?" Y/n asks making Charles shrug.

"Confident. Though apparently not as confident as you. The fans think you might head butt me on the podium if I win."

"I might head butt you if I win." Y/n teases earning a chuckle then sighing. "We both know we deserve it. It's just a case of who is better in that race on Sunday."

"Yes. That is true." Charles hums shooting her his iconic dimpled grin. "Of course it will be me."

"You might out qualify me. But I'll be right there beside you." Y/n laughs then hugging him with one arm. "I meant what I said earlier...if I have to lose to someone you're the only person I'd be happy to lose to...if I could call it being happy."

"You'd be least unhappy." Charles laughs then nodding. "I feel the same for you. It has been amazing being your teammate and if you are the one who wins, it just means I will get to snatch the crown next year."

"Wow...well same here, if you win I will make sure to take the crown next season."

Y/n puffs out a breath twisting her spine to crack her back which earns a smack from her trainer in a scold since that method is never advised and she really needs to take better care of her back.

"I told you about that." David states but she just grins at him then moving to get her ear pieces in with her balaclava and her helmet. He goes to speak again but y/n raises her hand.

"I don't need a pep talk. I've got this." Y/n assures him, mainly because David is the worst pep talker ever. He gets nervous for her and ends up stuttering and stumbling over his words before wishing her luck and making her feel completely uncertain of herself.

Y/n moves around the garage high-facing the team before she climbs in the cockpit.

"You ready to win this?" Her race engineer, Elliot asks making her laugh a little.

"It's qualifying, the race is tomorrow."

"One step closer and while you could qualify P20 and we've win. I'm confident you'll get ahead of that." Elliot jokes earning a hum. "At least I don't need to radio check."

"I definitely could've just been talking to myself."

"Alright. Radio check?"

"Radio check, loud and clear."

They get her strapped in and secured.

Qualifying is Charles' strong point, he's always held the speed over all his teammates from Seb to Carlos and now to y/n. But she has managed some positions ahead of him on rare occasion. Today would be a good time for her to pull out one of those moments.

"That's P4." Elliot states at the end of Q1.

"Fuck sake." Y/n grumbles making him clear his throat.

"It's Q1, the track conditions are improving. It's not the end position."

"It's not fucking fantastic either, Elliot." Y/n grunts knowing she's going to have to apologise afterwards. But this is tense, everyone can feel the atmosphere and tension for her and Charles.

Quali might not determine the winner but it'll make the winning of the race a hell of a lot easier if Charles is behind her.

When y/n gets out for Q2 she's about ready to drag race someone over the line when the traffic starts getting in her way.

"P1! You got Charles by 2 tenths right now. That's a good sign. Ok and we're only getting better track conditions from here." Elliot states she's backed into the garage.

"2 tenths?"

"2 tenths. We're not getting cocky, but that's progress ok?"

"Ok."

Y/n sighs keeping herself sort of sane as she tries to make sure that she is not freaking herself out. This is all about staying calm and focused. That's all she needs to remember.

"Let's do this." Elliot states as she pulls out for Q3 wanting to be the first person out on track.

She messes up on the banker, landing herself in P7 which doesn't help with the staying calm and focused goal.

Elliot feeds her ways to improve and she stays fairly quiet listening to him only mumbling oks which prompts him to give a pep talk. Something he actually is very good at.

"Y/n, this is not make or break. You send it into the wall right now, we fix the car and I am getting you through the drivers in front including Charles and you will get that win." Elliot states then pausing for dramatic effect? She doesn't know but he pauses. "But we're getting you on the front row, almost definitely on pole. But I won't promise you that."

"Thanks, Elliot." Y/n mumbles quietly back to him.

"And we are watching y/n come out. She had a bit of a hard time with the first banker lap. Do you think she can recover herself?" Crofty asks making Martin puff out a breath. "She might really be feeling the pressure."

"She might be. I feel like people need to remember how young y/n. she is actually younger than Sebastian Vettel was when he became the champion only 22 years old. They're not just breaking the dry streak of Ferrari titles. For y/n she'd be the first Ferrari champion since Kimi and she'd be the youngest world champion ever...and the only female champion of the sport. Y/n has a lot on her shoulders and she'll be feeling that. Not to mention this is a championship title fight with her teammate who she will be coming back to drive alongside next year. She wants to be the winner of the two of them."

"Do you know what's amazing? All the drivers have been asked for a vote. They managed to make it perfectly 50/50 in vote split for who they thought was in favour to win."

"No surprise I do think this might be the hardest call to make for who will win ever. Two incredibly talented drivers." Martin states then looking at the tracker. "I think we should watch y/n make her final attempt for pole."

"Certainly."

And they do watching her get through the sector 1 with a purple, zooming through sector 2 in a purple and actually there's almost a silence other than other cars watching her take the final sector.

"Pole! That's P1! It's P1. Just wait though, Charles is still going but it's looking like he's not improving enough." Elliot states while y/n tucks out the way.

"Please for the love of god." Y/n whispers with the radio off so no one can hear her.

"P1! You are P1. Get in there y/n!"

"Fuck! Ahhh we did it! Fucking hell we did it. Thank you everyone in the garage, thank you Elliot."

"We're all proud of you. Bring it home."

Once she pulls up to the number 1 sign. It feels far too good. She almost forgets to put her steering wheel back with her excitement before being shouted at to get back and follow protocol.

"Y/n y/l/n! P1!" The team cheer but Charles catches her and picks her up in a hug.

"Y/n has made it clear. She doesn't want to talk to anyone ahead of the race. Charles has followed suit. Both Ferrari drivers are off limits to media and to everyone else in the paddock. I don't think other drivers have even managed to get a word out of either of them." Crofty comments as everyone disperses from standing with the grid kids for the national anthem.

"Understandable. There is tension in the team, they've showing themselves as a supportive front for each other after qualifying but it's obvious there's tension there. You can't have two teammates up for the title and there not be. Charles has been expected to be the next champion for Ferrari for a long time now and y/n has the weight of the world with every pressure on her. And no one can say who is more likely to win that the other."

Y/n sighs climbing in the car as quick as possible, wanting only to focus on the task in hand.

She is not letting anything distract her. She wants no one to speak to her, she has no intentions of losing. But neither does Charles.

The formation lap and lights out feels like her soul has been sucked from her. But she gets a good start and managed to keep P1.

Now there's just the next 57 laps.

Starting on the mediums she is going for a two stopper, so her first pit stop comes in lap 18. Setting her back to P3.

Elliot is under instructions to essentially only get on the radio for instructions or gaps from other drivers. She doesn't want him asking questions. Strategy is set unless there's a safety car.

"Verstappen in DRS."

Fuck. The last thing she needs is Max on his happy go lucky DRS dives.

"Y/n is leading a bit of a DRS train she's out of DRS from Lando. She's got Max tailing behind her with Oscar, George and Alonso all behind." Crofty comments making Martin hum watching the group closely.

"Charles is boxing. They must be on the same strategy, he's just not prioritised because y/n was ahead."

Y/n leads the DRS train and Charles ends up stuck at the back of it and eventually Lando is too.

"P1! We think everyone behind is going for a one stop."

Y/n doesn't replies as she takes turn 5 and takes the straight towards turn 6, where Max does what is entirely on brand and goes for the corner.

However, while y/n is focused on not touching him. She's smashed into the back of by Oscar who so lovingly got a puncture from George getting too close in his own attempt at a take over.

Y/n's front wing leans her swinging around and t-boning Max. She actually feels her heart just stop. It feels like it's not beating again. She can only physically react to trying to stop the car from completely losing control as she tries to keep the steering wheel control. Her car along with Max's and Oscars all bounce into he barrier. George's car stopping in the empty space.

"Red flag. Red flag. Y/n, I'm so sorry. Are you ok?" Elliot states through her radio but she's climbing out the car. P0 without request as she practically rips herself from the cockpit. Snapping the wires for her ear pieces and umbilical chord. She'd be surprised to find out if she didn't damage the steering wheel slamming it into the car.

"Y/n-"

Y/n can't even stop herself from pushing George away. Hard. Max even backs off from where he'd been nearing her.

She waits for no one. Just jumps the barriers, yanking off her helmet and balaclava, along with what's left of the her ear pieces. She tries to crouch away from cameras covering her face with her hands as tears fall.

"That is...a devastating sight. I...I can't even comprehend the type of heart break y/n is feeling." Crofty states as they watch cars pull into the pit lane.

"I feel like someone needs to get her. She needs someone there with her right now. This is not a time for her to be on her own." Martin admits almost feeling a paternal urge with the young woman.

Max does manage to get close to y/n, just sitting with her. He's pissed his race is over too. But he can't even begin to imagine what type of pain y/n is feeling.

He can see her shaking with silent sobs. Her curled up body shaking, her face covered but when he manages to get close enough to pull her closer. She lands her weight against him, manages to breathe in heavily.

"I'm sorry, y/n." Max chokes out making her seem to almost snap out of it.

"I have to go. We both need to go." Y/n coughs rubbing at her face.

Y/n took the fine and stayed away from media. She did show up to congratulate Charles on his title and win. But it wasn't hard to see putting herself into it properly was like an impossible task.

She lost the title completely of someone else's mistake.

"Max, we saw you with y/n after the crash. How is she?"

"It's not really for me to comment. She has chosen to pay to not do media, I think that says enough of how she feels. When and if she decides to talk about it, you guys will hear." Max states making the interviewer nod. "I think a lot of people walked away from this race pretty unhappy and I know I'm one of them."

Y/n is protected by David as she exits the paddock. The media and fans trying to catch a glimpse at her. Before she knows it, she's in the car just staring out the window.

Everyone knows there's not perking up her mood. There's nothing that can be said to improve this. What could someone possibly say?

"Oh don't worry, it was only half way through the race. You might've lost anyway." Somehow they all doubt that would make her feel better.

David practically carries y/n around. Only leaving her to let her shower off the sweat and tears from the day, then again turning away while she dresses for bed.

But it's when he gets to the door after promising to be back in the morning that he hears her fall apart. Her sobbing and crying not being contained as he opens the door and finds nearly half the grid waiting outside. As if about to try and bring her some sort of comfort.

They all wince at the sound of her as he clicks the door closed behind him and shakes his head. Though the noise is only muffled.

"Right now she just needs to be alone."

Y/n wants to fall off the face off the planet. She wants disappear.

"Y/n? There's some people who want to see you." David states making her only flick her eyes from where she'd been staring at the wall.

Max, Lando, Oscar, Carlos, Alex and Yuki walk in.

"Do you mind if we come rot with you as well?" Lando asks all of them almost fearful of her reaction.

They figured it was best for not too many people to come and join her. They especially denied Charles of coming though he really wanted to know that she was ok. George also wanted to come see her but they thought that might actually risk his life.

The truth is that she isn't ok, him coming to find out for certain by seeing her puffy eyes and tearstained cheeks.

"Please?" Max adds making her suck in a very broken breath before nodding.

The group all but run to join her on the bed.

"I might just never leave this bed." Y/n whispers making the men around her exchange a look.

"Then I guess we won't either." Carlos shrugs having squishes on one side of her while Lando sits on her other.

They spend hours there with her, managing to get her somewhat more active as they bring Max's games console into the room. They also manage to get her to eat and Lando invites her to join him on a couple of his winter break adventures while Yuki offers to teach her how to make some authentic Japanese dishes. Max talks her into coming to Monaco for a bit so she can learn to play padel against him and Lando, they also mention inviting George for her to team up against and ruin to possibly get out the frustration of George being the one who caused the crash.

"I still feeling like killing myself would be a relief. But you guys have made me less like quitting F1 for next season." Y/n states then sighing. "I'm going to dodge media and not look at my phone for the next 3 years though."

"Wait until it's well and truly buried in other news. That's smart." Lando hums earning a smile. "As much as I know I'm going to win the title next year. I think we all know you are going to win and everyone will be more careful in the last race. If it's another case of down to the last lap."

"It's ok, y/n will be winning long before the last race. We're all going to have to watch her just repeat Max in 2023." Alex laughs earning a smile.

"At least you're smiling. I thought you might just keep looking at everyone like we'd make a good murder victim." Max jokes while the rest of the group all grumble in agreement.

"I think George might still be on the hit list." Carlos states patting y/n's back. "Don't worry, we will help."

"Thanks...but I'll let him live for now. If he so much as brushes me next year, I'm purposely sending him so hard into the wall he'll be too traumatised to get back in a car."

"If it makes you feel any better, I think he's writing a whole novel length letter of apology." Alex states with a small grimace just at the thought of trying to find it.

"That's only more motivation to hit him." Y/n giggles then sighing. "It's still going to take a while for me to be able to talk to him...I need time."

"You've got time. And you know I would never forgive him so the fact you would after some time already means you're better than me." Max shrugs earning a small smile from the young woman.

"We know Max." Lando smiles reaching forward and patting Max in a joking condescending manner.

Y/n still has to attend the FIA award ceremony and accept her runner up award. It's more like she'll endure it but hopefully she'll have it together enough for her to really take the award and be happy for Charles. It won't be easy but it'll have to be done. And really she is happy for Charles, she'd just be happier if he was runner up and she'd taken the title.

But he is the prince of Ferrari and there's always next season for her to make sure she takes it the next time.

Could you do something with Lewis, maybe reader and Lewis have been dating for a while but she’s famous too so they kept things really private, but they got married over the winter break and now the other drivers are finding out

Hello 🫶 lately I've been doing more smaus so I decided to make this one a smau also, hoping you'll like it 🩷

yourusername I still haven't gotten used to seeing myself on those huge ads

view all comments

georgerussell63 A supermodel and an actress not being used to seeing herself in ads? 🤨

↳yourusername When was the last time you were walking down the street and saw a picture of you casually hanging on a building? 🤨 Let me tell you it always takes you by surprise, George

carmenmmundt How are you so beautiful? 😭

↳yourusername I love you Carmen 😭

oscarpiastri Good job, Y/n👏

danielricciardo What an abundance of beauty you are

landonorris an amazing day to have eyes

charles_leclerc Can't take my eyes off you

zhouguanyu24 You haven't posted in months and that's what you decided to post?🙄

↳username1 AND SHE ATE

carlossainz55 See you in Vegas soon 👋

tchalamet You busy lately? We haven't been in a movie together for a while

↳username2 Co-star rizz lmao

username3 It's so weird to me how Y/n is the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen and she's SINGLE

↳username4 It's her choice

username3 And she made it while having f1 drivers and timothee casually flirting with her in the comment section

username4 Doesn't seem that much like flirting to me 🤷‍♀️ she's friends with Carmen and George so she's gonna have the drivers in her comments. And Tim is like her bestie

username3 Are you blind 😭 okay maybe Oscar's comment is friendly, but the rest is definitely flirting!!

username4 Whatever feeds your delusions I guess. I don't think she's single, she might just be keeping her relationship super private. Exactly because of fans like you

yourusername Nothing beats a date in Las Vegas

view all comments

username1 A DATE. IN VEGAS.

username2 Okay guys, which driver do we think took her on the date?

↳username3 I'm saying Lando, it's a very Lando thing to do

username4 imo he was too busy healing from this terrible crash he had lmao

username5 Plus Lando is too young for her, I'd say Danny Ric

username4 yooo y/n and danny would be a great couple, I hope you're right

username6 Do you guys remember what Carlos commented under her previous post?? "See you in Vegas" or smth

↳username4 yeah but it could be just because she was invited to the paddock

username6 Like usually. But did you ever see any driver say anything like see you there and there before other races?

carmenmmundt YOU WENT ON A DATE?

↳georgerussell63 @/yourusername reply immediately and say who took you

yourusername Mom, dad, I'm terribly sorry I didn't tell you 😭

carmenmmundt This doesn't answer our questions...

↳username1 Help even they didn't know lol

username7 It could be anybody, guys. Y/n has most of the drivers in her likes

↳username2 Then maybe it's someone who isn't in the likes? 🤭

username7 Well, then we have Alonso, Bottas, Hamilton and a few others, it doesn't make it easier

username3 She'll say who it is when they're both ready but I wish it would happen as soon as possible

username9 LMAO none of the guys from the previous post commented now

↳username5 She just subtly told them too f off cuz she's taken 😭

username8 I can't wait until the winter break, I know something is gonna happen...

yourusername He made me get my first tattoo lol

view all comments

username1 WHAT?? IS?? HAPPENING??

↳username2 idk looks like miss girl moved, got a tattoo and then decided to travel around 😐

carmenmmundt When are we going to talk about who is "he"?

↳yourusername When the timing is right ✨

georgerussell63 Whoever he is, he's a bad influence on you 🙄

↳yourusername Mom can you tell dad to quit my comment section @/carmenmmundt

username3 Y/n moved to Monaco 😭

↳username4 And how do you know that?

username3 Haven't you heard she was seen there?

username4 And? Celebs love Monaco

username3 Exactly. So she moved there. Possibly with her secret boyfriend

username5 Okay so what we know about Y/n's secret man is they live together in Monaco, he could be an F1 driver and he must have tattoos (because why would he make her get one otherwise?)

↳username6 IT'S DANNY RIC I'M TELLING Y'ALL

username7 Well there's also Hamilton who has quite a lot of tattoos

username8 And Alonso and Stroll, she didn't say how many tattoos her bf has, could be as well one or two

username5 Don't forget some drivers might have them hidden and never spoke about them

username9 To be fair she didn't say if he has any in general lol

danielricciardo What about a party in the new apartment?

↳username6 Yeah, keep telling me it's not him

↳yourusername Most likely when I'm back from my lil vacation

lewishamilton Winter break

view all comments

username1 EXCUSE ME

username2 SIR LEWIS HAMILTON, EXPLAIN THE LAST PHOTO

username3 Don't panic, guys, it is me in the 4th pic

username4 I know he's an almost 40 years old man but I'm still shocked

username5 ngl that woman's hand looks familiar...

username6 Not even a tag on the last pic? 😕

username7 Silly season starting early this year 😭

↳username4 Yeah, firstly he dropped the bomb about moving to Ferrari and now THIS

username7 Man said lemme dominate this winter break 🤠

landonorris congrats i guess?

carlossainz55 Unexpected but happy for you!

georgerussell63 I'm calling Toto, you're lucky he doesn't have social media

username8 I can't believe he kept it a secret from all the drivers lol

↳username7 And for so long too!! I mean, you don't marry someone you started dating a month ago, it could've been going on for YEARS

charles_leclerc When will we meet this mysterious lady?

↳lewishamilton I'm sure you all know her well

↳username7 Leclerc better stay away 🤺

username9 You guys don't ever know how sure I am that it's Y/n

↳username10 I won't believe it until they confirm it

username9 Yeah because it's a total coincidence Y/n recently moved to Monaco, got a tattoo because "her bf made her" and also went on a trip

yourusername Shik shak shok

view all comments

username1 I KNEW IT I KNEW IT

username2 The couple I never knew I needed

username3 Two fashion icons

username4 Honestly is anyone surprised? Like, okay, unexpected, but I'm not surprised Lewis is dating one of the most famous models/actresses in the world

↳username5 I am surprised tbh 😭 I think a lot of people expected DR3, not LH44

username6 rip to all the drivers who used to hit on Y/n in her comment section 💀

username7 So Y/n is dating LH44 and is best friends with the girlfriend of GR63?

↳username8 She copied her lol

username7 Except Carmen's bf hasn't ever won the world champion title lmao

↳username9 That's a real friendship. Going for drivers from the same team

username10 I need to know how did they mange to keep it a secret for so long 😭

↳username11 Yeah cuz I can't believe even Toto himself had no idea

username12 Something about them being married makes so much sense, I love them

username13 Imagine when we start seeing them doing ads together omg

↳username14 ads? 💀 now that they're out and married I expect lots of content together on both their accounts AND on Drive to survive and just anywhere

username11 tbh who cares about the races, they can just display Y/n on the screen for 2h and I'd watch

y/nhamilton btw we used to date but now we're just married (and thanks @/zhouguanyu24 for keeping our secret)

view all comments

carmenmmundt I was just as shocked as the fans

landonorris somehow I'm not surprised Zhou knew

↳username1 And he knew about both THIS and Lewis moving to Ferrari!! And kept quiet both times!

↳charles_leclerc I wonder what else Zhou knows that we don't

username2 Zhou Guanyu is officially the most trustworthy guy on the grid

↳username3 And I thought it'd be Oscar...

username4 Does it mean more iconic Y/n outfits on the paddock? 😍

↳y/nhamilton And matching outfits! 🤭

username2 Oh they're gonna kill it!!

username5 I need a friend like Zhou

zhouguanyu24 You're welcome 😌

↳y/nhamilton 🫶

↳lewishamilton 💜

username6 I never thought about Lewis and Zhou being friends, but...?

username7 in moments like this I go look at the old posts where other drivers would flirt with Y/n lmao

username8 This winter break belongs to Lewis

oscarpiastri Lewis' last name suits you

↳landonorris it would've been funny to see Lew change his last name to hers tho lol

carlossainz55 How long have you been together?

↳y/nhamilton Something like 5 years now

carlossainz55 And none of us knew all this time 😳

y/nhamilton Zhou knew... I've just said that

username9 All the other drivers immediately regretting everything they said under other Y/n's posts hahahah

Propaganda

Marilyn Monroe (How to Marry a Millionaire, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Some Like It Hot)— Ngl I thought you all were lying about sexual attraction until I saw Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Maylia Fong (Singapore, To the Ends of the Earth)—I’m so so so into her brand of old Hollywood glamor Idk where even to Begin to describe ittttt

This is round 3 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Maylia Fong:

Marilyn Monroe:

She's amazing!!! A classic bombshell, as well as a strong women who overcame so many obstacles. She also advocated for others, like Ella Fitzgerald.

That fucking saxophone that cuts in whenever she appears on screen in Some Like it Hot

I mean, it's Marilyn Monroe. She's adorable. She's gorgeous. She funny. She's the total package

She's the original American sex symbol, an iconic beautiful woman with eyes you could get lost in, legs for days, gorgeous hair, and a cute tummy. Her voice! Just listen to her voice!!!!!

youtube

She is considered one of THE sex symbols of the 1960s and one of the greatest actresses of all time! She HAS to be on this list!

no vintage movie woman is more iconically hot

People are most familiar with pictures of her in the white dress or the Happy Birthday Mr President one, but imo she is at her most beautiful and looks most comfortable when she is photographed by women like Eve Arnold

It’s Marilyn Monroe. If Aphrodite was an actual person, she’d be Marilyn. Do I really need to say more?

What can I say that hasn't been said? Marilyn's legacy is so much bigger than she was in life. She's a defining symbol of 50s and 60s Hollywood sex and it's obvious why. She was absolutely stunning and the camera loved her.

sorry but as a longtime charli fan her whole admit you're so jealous of me i'm just living that life woo is beyond cringe at this point. i get that it fits the brat concept but like ma'am you're a 31 year old woman it's not cute anymore. idk how anyone can listen to von dutch without getting major secondhand embarrassment

i turned 31 yesterday and if im being honest (and taking into consideration two recent leaks i heard not even 15 mins ago) this IS what i would be doing for an album if I were charli LOL it circles back so perfectly to the scene that was there before she released her first album as xcx.... charli started to gain traction during the witch house era but she was there during the late new rave myspace era was around and where the electroclash electro punk influence was immense and that mood was EXACTLY what brat is trying to be about. its so obvious and natural i just think you're projecting expectations of what a 31yo woman should be portraying herself as not even trying to be woke but like lol... charli never promised us something too somber or high brow she sticks with club ready catchy pop and tries to engineer around that and its VERY well thought out IMO... maybe its cause i started to get into music the same time as her but idk im extremely excited she looks GOOD the attitude is RIGHT the songs SLAP and mind you im not afraid to tap out when she drops something i dont like (sucker/charli)

OKAY, GUYS - I HAVE ANOTHER SDMN-CENTRED FEMINIST RANT.

Okay, so, hopefully you all know TheBurntChip (Josh Larkin), and his lovely jovely gf Sabina:

Beautiful couple, seem happy together, no problems there.

One thing i think im seeing with the YouTubers' Girlfriends (let's call them YTer gf's, abbreviated) is that there's a certain trend in assets for which fans pick and choose to determine whether or not a YT gf is "per standard" and collectively liked.

For example, Faith and Talia have gone through shitloads of hate from fans because they actually speak their mind and are consistent with their own personal ethos within whatever content they produce and share online.

Like the whole Mia-sat-on-Ethan's-lap incident which resulted in Faith making a TikTok and speaking out on social media multiple times to call out the fact that yes - she's unhappy about it - and also the fact that it's a very valid thing to be unhappy over

Aaand this created a lot of backlash and hatred from Sidemen fans, because they don't like hearing anything that's inconsistent with what is a stereotypically immature male opinion, generally consistent with patriarchal societal roles... And this is shown through a lot of Talia and Faith's comment sections by the adolescent male SDMN fans

Hence the assumption can be made that Sidemen fans dislike YTer gf's that are too vocal about problems they've faced which aren't relevant to male audiences.

Thing is, there's obviously some YTer gf's that these fans really like, but...

Why do they like them so much???

Well, I think that both Sabina and Tennessee are two YTer gf's that can be used as examples of wamen that are completely adored by these adolescent male SDMN fans.

But their reasons for being so liked to much are so very contrasting.

Tennesse is loved because she's beautiful. We've been through this quite a bit when i went through the whole "I can't believe Danny would put his ex through that" pipeline following Locked In... But it's worth pointing out that (as far as I know), the toxic Fifa fanboys seem to love her because she's a clearly good looking woman who's undeniably got personality too (watched the saving grade pod w her on it last night) and i don't think she's said anything too inconsistent with male opinions yet, sooo... Makes sense why she's liked; imo she plays into the ideal woman from a man's perspective very well

Alternately, Sabina seems pretty reserved on social medias - not really speaking that much as a social media personality, rather just sharing her life on insta n tiktok, whatever - nothing wrong with that.

I think that the fanboys like Sabina quite a bit though, as she posts cooking content on TikTok, and idk why but there's an agenda on social medias atm, that a woman who can cook is wifey material... This woman-must-be-good-at-cooking culture ofc stems from historical patriarchal roles for women to fulfil the duty of housewives, thus being able to cook n clean - but i really have no idea why this still exists in a modern day society considering there's been so many changes within the world which now enables women to work equal jobs as men

I don't know whether this belief of cooking-women being a blessing is a toxic sorta concept though, because there's a certain tenderness and nicety to having someone cook you a meal - regardless of whether it is a male or female tbh

Either ways, Sabina does make meals and does her cooking thing on TikTok really well - like - honestly? Some days I'm jealous that I'm not the one able to eat some of the stuff she can bake n make... Back on track - yes - Sabina bakes/cooks her things n films Chippo's reaction to trying them out

Male audience love this ofc, bc it fulfils the whole woman-cooking-for-partner thing which is favoured amongst males

What's this big whole rant about though?

Well, the male fans hate Faith. Love Sabina.

Okay, cool.

These two facts weren't directly correlated until Sabina's recent post though...

Sabina chefs up some tacos for Chip, and whilst some of the comments are normal cooking TikTok comments, a lot are a bit more... targetted towards Faith:

First time Faith's ever been slewed in Sabina's comment section n the point that i made this whole rant for is that:

BIG UP FUCKING SABINA FOR ACTUALLY REPLYING STRAIGHT WITH THEM

Perfect response imo, not just disagreeing and leaving it open ended, but also pulling Faith up when Faith's been demeaned by these weirdos online

I'm a big supporter of the "you can big someone up without pulling someone else down" notion, and big up Sabina for pulling Faith the fuck up when someone's tried to reduce Faith to praise Sabina

So much respect for Sabina for this one negl - didn't really have any idea about what she was like as a girlie - but this reply's firmly sold me into believing that Sabina is one for the girlies 🙏

(post-writing, blooody hell i realise there's a lot of unecessary waffle here... apologies everyone)

#WAFFLE!!#sabina #chip #chippo crimes #theburntchip #faith kelly #behzinga #ethan payne #tennessee thresh #tennessee thresher #talia mar #danny aarons #sidemen #feminism #youtube #youtuber #girls supporting girls
