Nico saying that Lewis gives his daughters boxes of presents every Christmas just got caught in my mind.
Imagine you were a mixed race boy born in Hertfordshire, different from everyone else around you. Bullied in school, being raised by your father to compete in a sport where money is very much of essence and you and your family do not have a lot of it. And then you meet this other boy who comes from the kind of life you dream to live one day. You're friends and fierce competitors. You find solace in each other. You visit Monaco for the first time with your friend, dreaming up the life you will have when you make it, when you beat out of the mould that the world thought it could capture you in.
And then you two grow through the ranks and you're at the pinnacle of your sport and you have what it takes to win and the world recognises that you can win. And you win. You win with your friend and fiercest competitor by your side fighting with you for those wins, and this fighting ruins something something that was valuable to both of you when you were still innocent and unsullied by life.
But despite everything that went into the doing and undoing of this relationship, you still realise that this person you once called a friend has a life and family beyond your bitter dynamic. He has children, and children need love and affection and good memories. And you're a better man now so you understand that. So you make sure the kids get gifts on Christmas. And you make sure of it every year. Afterall, if you met someone you loved deeply when you were both kids, wouldn't you feel a pang of nostalgia when they had kids. Wouldn't you try to extend the warmth that you couldn't find for your friend to his children. Afterall, whatever happens during childhood basically remains with you forever.
Fit: Where is Pac? Where’s Pac? I haven’t seen him in 5 minutes, is he dead? Is he dead? Did something happen to Pac, is he gone? Where is he?
[He looks for Pac on the map]
Fit: YEP, just all out here all by myself. Yep, just all by myself. Yeah I’m fine, I’m totally fine, I’m totally fine, yeah, this is fine. This is totally fine. All by myself. Yeah. Totally. Yeah…
I love full band Joker Out interviews bc they're like
Bojan: knows things, but also cannot shut the fuck up and ends up oversharing so 50-99% of what he says is just straight up bs because plans change (we don't mind tho). Somehow looks pretty and is in every interview unless literally at death's door or super busy.
Kris: knows things and cannot shut the fuck up 2.0 but instead of lies he just says the darnest things that ig are true but.... Kris for fuck's sake. (we don't actually mind about this either). Also there to keep Bojan's bs at a reasonable level.
Nace: chimes in once in a while, always looks handsome, put together and interested, actively listening. 10/10 no notes.
Jure: just happy to look cute on camera and lounge at the side.
Jan: pondering his orb unless spoken to. Happy to give a 50 minute academic lecture during a 30min interview if asked the right question.
thinking about the fact that we've never seen buck this giddy or flustered or happy talking about a romantic interest because the last time he was genuinely excited to be falling for someone was abby and he didn't have anyone to talk to about it
I can forgive my father for all his wrongs against me, if only he had treated my mother differently.
It is an echo, of what my mother says, "He may not be a good husband, but he is a good father."
How do I tell her that one cannot exist without the other?
He will never be a good father. He is not good to my mother.
community that has only seen themselves represented in a small handful of romance stories that aren’t explicitly about their real-world oppression, watching a new show or movie where they are represented in a romantic story that isn’t explicitly about their real-world oppression: getting a lot of “that other show with a queer romance that isn’t explicitly about real-world homophobia” vibes from this
I know I keep posting about Solomon, but the Devilgram "Solomon Takes The Train" got even better :
So basically....
Solomon : I get unbearably jealous whenever I see you with anyone else, especially those brothers. I selfishly want to keep you all to myself forever.
MC : So you wanna bang, or..??
Solomon : Since you're offering, I definitely won't say no~
In all seriousness, I am a HUGE sucker for any kind of content that even hints at the tiniest signs of yandere tendencies (such as jealousy, possessiveness, etc.)
Plus I have my reasons for loving Solomon. I'll always love the brothers more than anything, but my love for Solomon has grown exponentially deeper.
So moments like this are very much welcomed, encouraged, and appreciated (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
