Relationship: Fernando Alonso x Reader

Note: Another bite sized fluffy Nando fic, because I think about that one thing he said about finding happiness in becoming a father at least four times a week. Comments and feedback are appreciated xx

“Are you sure, love?” You asked again, nervous, watching as Fernando carried Alejandro attached to his hip.

“Yes, I’m sure, will you be back later today?” Fernando asked, as Ale played with his father’s hair, mumbling a little lullabye.

“Yes, in around three hours,” you said, kissing the top of Ale’s head, then pecking Fernando’s lips, “I’m really sorry, this meeting came out of nowhere, I promise I’ll make it up to you when-”

“Amor, it’s ok,” Fernando interrupted, “Go, we’ll behave and wait for you.”

It was just media day, but unfortunately a last minute meeting at your company needed to happen, and you’d have to leave your husband and kid alone in the paddock so you could go back to the hotel to attend the meeting online.

“Love you two to the moon and back!” You said, scurrying off.

“Mamá!” Alejandro asked, suddenly noticing his mother’s absence, and getting fussy.

“Mamá had to work, we’re going to have a lot of fun together today!” Fernando said, putting him on the floor, and holding his hand.

He took Alejandro all around, when he went to talk with the mechanics about the last update to his car, when he went to take a few pictures, recording a few marketing stuff, here and there. Everyone knew Alejandro as “Little Alonso”, his tiny feet padding around, his head full of disheveled brown wavy hair, and eyes that were pretty much the same as his father. He was always around, pointing at his dad’s car, muttering gibberish half in spanish and half in english, he also liked walking to the engineers pulling on their shirts to get their attention so he could ask for a headphone.

At the age of four and a half, Alejandro was a known face around the paddocks, always asking questions and waiting to know about everyone’s business.

“Papá, I’m hungry!” Alejandro patted his own belly, which made his dad chuckle.

“Ok, we’re getting food, campeoncito,” Fernando muttered, leading his son to his room. Inside, he rummaged through all his bags, searching for his snacks and juice bottle.

He ended up sitting beside Alejandro in the cafeteria, the little boy munching in a pot of cut fruits, a bag of chips, and a mango juice. Alejandro talked about everything, asking about the people and the colors, and why everything was where it was.

Eventually, Fernando had a meeting, so he set a little playing mat to Alejandro on the floor of the meeting room, where he put his son’s toys, paper and crayons.

“Papá, yo quiero inside your car!” Ale asked, as Fernando placed him on the little mat.

“I’ll take you to sit in my car as soon as we finish here, yes? Just sit tight and I’ll be really fast. Do you want to play with your toys, or paint a little? Come on,” Fernando took a crayon and started drawing, looking over his shoulder to see his engineers and strategists getting inside, sitting down, opening their laptops and notes. Nobody batted an eye to Fernando kneeling on the floor, convincing his kid to sit quietly. Everyone was used to the Alonsos’ shenanigans.

Finally, after making sure Alejandro was still on the mat, under his sight, Fernando went on and started the meeting.

It took something between 20 and 30 minutes until it was over, and when Fernando went to pick Alejandro, he noticed his little boy wasn’t there anymore, and the door was slightly ajar. Muttering every curse word he could think of, he bolted outside. Alejandro had become a little menace in escaping rooms now that he was tall enough to tiptoe and reach a door handle.

“Have you seen Alejandro?” He stopped a couple of the staff in the hall to ask. They just shook their heads. He went to the garage, and stopped the whole team of mechanics, his heart beating faster than it did when racing, “Have you guys seen Alejandro?”

“He walked past with Lance a few minutes ago,” Someone said, pointing outside. Fernando breathed again, ok, at least he wasn’t alone, roaming around and in danger.

Striding forward, Fernando kept looking for his teammate and his son, and eventually ended up in Ferrari. He walked inside to ask Carlos if he had seen the little boy, but he stopped short when he noticed a tiny hand print made with what looked like grease on the livery of the 55 Ferrari, and the letters “ALE” written sloppily with the very same black grease.

“Oh, mierda,” he whispered. Carlos noticed him, walking up to Fernando with a smile.

“Ale was just here with Lance, we talked for a couple of seconds, and when we looked, he had his hand printed on the car,” Carlos explained, as Fernando winced.

“Lo siento, Carlos. Do you know where they might have gone?” He asked.

“Well, Lance said he was going to wash Ale’s hands. So, back to Aston Martin, maybe?” Carlos shrugged.

Fernando went back to his garage, looking for Lance and Alejandro. Finally, he found Lance using a cloth to dry his hands. He smiled and waved at Fernando, who quickly went up to him.

“Is Alejandro with you?” Fernando asked.

“Oh, he saw George walking by, ran up to him and they both bolted together. I have no idea where they went. Sorry.” Lance muttered.

Fernando walked out again, going to the Mercedes motorhome to find his son once again. Honestly, everyone loved Alejandro way more than they loved Fernando, he was pretty sure, and the little boy was frankly a menace all around. If he found someone like George to match his energy, they would go around causing trouble to everyone.

At the Mercedes motorhome, he found Lewis staring curiously at a bowl of fruits.

“Hey, have you seen Alejandro? Lance said he and Geor-” Fernando stopped himself when he got closer to the table where the bowl of fruits sat.

“Well, for sure they’ve been here,” Lewis muttered, holding an apple, showing how the fruit had one single bite taken off. One little bite which Fernando knew very well who that dental arch belonged to. There was a bite on the apple, the banana, the pear, the peach and every single fruit there.

“¡Ay, dios mio! I’m sorry about this!” Fernando whispered, “I need to find them before him and George set the whole paddock on fire.”

Fernando walked out, knowing that George was probably going to look for Alex or Lando, who would probably support their little mischief around. He found Williams garage first, where he found a laughing Logan Sargeant picking up what looked like hundreds of little pieces of lego. And Fernando knew his kid, and knew he loved throwing things to the floor to make a mess.

“That’s Alejandro’s doing, right?” Fernando asked, wide eyed. Logan nodded and explained how the little boy had been there with George to taunt Alex after throwing his lego piece to the floor and scattering all the tiny pieces. Fernando helped Logan pick up the pieces from the floor.

“The three of them left, saying they had to prank Lando too,” Logan told Fernando, when they finished.

Fernando ran off, walking to McLaren, where he found Lando washing off his hair which was tangled in pink play dough, and George was trying to help him. Standing a little far behind, Alex had Alejandro sitting on his shoulders, the two of them giggling with Oscar.

“Alejandro didn’t do that, did he?” Fernando asked, worried and getting angry.

“No, no!” George was quick, “that was an accident on my part!”

“Yeah, little Alonso is innocent on this!” Lando added. Fernando squinted, not sure if he fully believed that, since Fernando himself had gone through something similar with Alejandro and his play dough.

“Look, any kind of oil will remove that from your hair,” Fernando patted his back, walking to his kid.

Alex gave him Alejandro, who Fernando decided was best to keep attached to him, not letting the little boy out of his sight again.

“Green! Verde, verde!” Alejandro was exclaiming to Alex.

“What is going on, pollito?” Fernando asked.

“He asked me to paint my hair green next time,” Alex explained, showing his blonde hair.

“And you agreed?” Fernando frowned.

“Yeah, whatever little Alonso wants, little Alonso gets,” Alex shrudded, laughing and pinching Alejandro chubby cheeks.

“You guys spoil him too much!” Fernando shook his head, waving goodbye and taking Alejandro back to his garage, “now I understand why mamá wants to buy a little backpack leash for you, little troublemaker.”

Alejandro held his face, looking into his eyes, then hugging him tight, which made Fernando’s annoyance from having to chase his son around completely dissolve, and he melted, hugging his boy. He could never get angry with his cute little man, especially when he reminded him so much of his younger self.

“Papá? Where’s Mamá?” Alejandro asked, looking around.

“Mamá is coming back soon, pollito,” he whispered, kissing his son’s cheek, “I’m missing her too.”

Fernando didn’t lose sight of Alejandro anymore, and when he had to leave for the press conference with other drivers, he left his PR manager to watch Alejandro while you had not come back. He was sitting on the sofa, answering questions but he still could watch Alejandro in a little chair on the opposite side of the room, beside the manager.

At some point, he noticed Alejandro getting fussy and pouty from staying in the same place alone for too long and looking fairly sleepy, Fernando could tell from one look.

“Alejandro,” Fernando called into the mic, the little boy looked around, hearing his dad’s voice, finally, he set his eyes on Fernando and jumped from the chair, “vente aquí.”

The boy took off, running towards his dad, eliciting a little “aw” from the journalists, and a lot of cameras following him until he got to his father, sitting on his lap, nuzzling into Fernando’s chest.

Fernando kept answering questions, and in a couple off minutes, Alejandro was fully asleep. Everyone started talking a little lower, as to not disturb the little one who was sleeping so calmly on his dad’s chest.

When the press conference was over, Fernando carried Alejandro inside his room, keeping his son on his lap, while he went through some data.

Finally when you came back, you found Alejandro on Fernando’s chest, his dad holding him tight while both of them took a little nap, looking so much like each other that it warmed your heart. You kissed both of their heads, running your fingers through Fernando’s hair to wake him up.

“Let’s go back to the hotel, so my pretty boys can eat and rest properly, yes?” You said, kissing Fernando softly, his eyes shining with so much adoration that he didn’t need to say the words, you could see the I love you. “Did you two behave?”

“Like angels!” Fernando winked, which told you that they probably had some Alonso Shenanigans today.

Im gonna need more poly nando and sainz🤭🤭🤭

A/N: I figured we'd take a softer look into their relationship and what mornings are like

He's always the first one up, Carlos likes to joke it's because he's the oldest but really, he just loved watching you and Carlos sleep. It was a comfort to him; he was the last to sleep and the first to wake. Always wanting to make sure this was all real and not a dream.

Sliding out of bed, he moves Carlos's head to your chest watching the two of you move closer. "Love you." He whispers, kissing each of your cheeks heading to the kitchen. It was a routine, wake, kiss your cheeks, and start cooking breakfast.

Fernando moves throughout the kitchen, the coffee maker drizzles as it brews fresh coffee. The smell mixes with that of eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, and toast. Each meal shaped to every taste bud and diet for Carlos and him. The next person to wake is always you, like clockwork.

You'll tumble in, rubbing your eyes and make your way towards Fernando. Then you wrap your arms around him burying your face into his back. "Good morning." Fernando whispers, hand squeezing yours. You mumble yours back, giving him a squeeze and then back up.

Your next stop was to the coffee, pouring yours and Fernando's cup. His black and yours with whatever cream and sugar you desired for the day. "Is he still asleep?" Fernando asks, you nod knowing Carlos was always the last to rise.

And just like clockwork again, Fernando plates the food as Carlos throws himself into his chair as Fernando places his plate before him. Carlos just grumbles as you sit down next to him placing your feet in his lap. "Thank you." You whisper to Fernando who smiles, kissing you.

It was a usual routine, one that Fernando loved and craved. The silence of having two people he love most was all he needed in his life.

Steppy’s thoughts on Drive To Survive Season 5:

Please take into account that some of the things might not be corresponding to the actual episode, but I forget things so bare with me 💀 also I’ll try to make this as short as I can because I talk too much 😭

- The way Guenther and Gene got rid of Mazepin… they were waiting for that 💀

- Mazepin getting called “Mazapan” 😭

- The way Guenther and Gene spoke about Mick was just not it. You can be mad that your driver isn’t performing the way you want him to in a shitty car, but human decency shoukd always come first. Fuck them. Fuck Haas and fuck everyone except Kevin. Fuck Nico just in case.

Episode 2: Mercedes principal Toto Wolff works to combat the team's unexpected struggles, while Lewis Hamilton navigates a bumpy ride in the team's redesigned car.

- BUMPY RIDE LMFAO

- Horny telling Toto to change his fucking car? My favorite moment of this whole season.

- Toto really went all psycho on them because they didn’t want to help him 😭 like bro, if everyone else but you was able to somehow fix their proposing issues, that’s your problem only.

- When he tried to use the “safety” speech and Mattia wasn’t having it? Hilarious. Mattia lowkey said “your team’s safety is not my problem”.

- Whenever George opened his mouth: 😐

Episode 3: Ferrari drivers and decision-makers feel the pressure of high expectations at a star-studded new event in Miami and a game-changing race at Silverstone.

- Whenever Charles spoke I felt a pain in my heart. I’m a Max fan and all, but I like Charles and I feel that his team failed him miserably. He deserves better so I hope Ferrari doesn’t fuck him up again. I don’t want him to win but yeah 😭

- I forgot about the Monaco “stay out, stay out”, if I was Charles I would’ve yelled at them. I don’t care.

Episode 4: Crashes and costs mount for Haas as driver Mick Schumacher fights to live up to his father's racing legacy and proves his worth to the team.

- When I tell you I cried almost the whole episode I’m not even joking.

- Y’all know how much I love and adore Mick, and you know that I’ve said that his performance wasn’t the best, but the way the team treated him? That’s fucking disgusting. How do you expect someone to be motivated when all you do is break him down? The fact that Kevin was the only person who believed in him is so sad and tells us all we need to know about Haas as a team.

- Guenther’s comments were just not it. I don’t care if you wanted him out, but no one deserves to be treated this way.

- When Max started talking about him I BAWLED my eyes out, and when they showed baby Max with Michael, tears kept falling and they didn’t stop. Plus he gave me baby fever LMAO.

- Max can’t even leave me alone on an episode that’s not about him.

- When Mick said his last name is a blessing and not a curse like many said? He said fuck you in every single language possible.

- Love Mick. Fuck Haas.

Episode 5: Otmar Szafnauer's efforts to overhaul Alpine bear fruit, until a new round of driver musical chairs throws his plans for the future into question.

Episode 6: Daniel Ricciardo's future starts to look uncertain when McLaren team managers set their sights on new talent, while Alpine weighs the best way forward.

- THESE TWO EPISODES 😮

- Fucking Nando making me laugh the whole thing. Man couldn’t give less of a fuck.

- The DRAMA was insane, and Bear became my new favorite DTS member.

- I feel like Mclaren is a good opportunity for Oscar but I totally understand Otmar being pissed. They spent 4M on the guy for him to just zayn like that.

- Pierre being chosen over Daniel by Alpine wasn’t because they think he was better but because he was most affordable. Daniel might not be delivering as expected but man is expensive af.

Episode 7: As the Red Bull team pushes to build on its lead against Ferrari, all eyes are on Sergio "Checo" Pérez during a dramatic Monaco Grand Prix.

- Dramatic Monaco Grand Prix? More like Ferrari being Ferrari and fucking up another Grand Prix.

- Checo reacting the same way I did when Seb decided to be funny.

- My theory about Carlos ALWAYS being on the podium whenever something crazy happens was proven right AGAIN.

- Checo saying his family is the most important thing and talking about his wife after cheating on her 💀 + the damage control made with scenes from their wedding, funny af. No one will forget it, but good try Checo.

- Max talking about the pressure of being a Red Bull driver when he’s the pressure 😭

Episode 8: When Pierre Gasly announces he's leaving Alpha Tauri, Yuki Tsunoda faces losing a teammate and a friend.

- Yuki farting next to Pierre at any chance he got 😭

- You know I’m not Pierre’s biggest fan but the way he talked about Yuki made my heart melt. You can see he actually cares about him. After all, he did say he was like a little brother to him.

- Yuki saying that he’s not a rookie anymore and that he’s ready to lead the team 👀 I hope he does though, I’d love to see that and I’d love to see him prove us all wrong.

- Nyck saying he’s going to bring maturity to the sport and me wheezing because I FUCKING FORGOT HE’S ALMOST 30 😭

- Yuki almost crying when Pierre was giving him a motivational talk.

Episode 9: With both championships within reach, Red Bull's team faces incendiary accusations that they've cheated by violating a league-wide spending cap.

- “We didn’t cheat” - Horny.

- “Turns out we exceeded the limit” - Horny, 5 seconds later.

- Toto going one by one trying to stir shit up and the only one who ended up doing something about it was Zak.

- Mattia going all “it wasn’t me” on Horny and gaslighting him into thinking that if he thought he did something was because he was guilty.

- Max saying that those things basically don’t concern him. King behavior.

- Zak laughing about his letter but then going silent and pissed when Max won again and Red Bull became champions 😭

- Helmut going “okay” when Horny told him to go and get the trophy.

- Fucking Jos ignoring Miss Racist in Austin 💀

- Max saying the team deserves it and then hugging the team 🥹

Episode 10: The 2022 season hurtles toward a conclusion in Abu Dhabi, where Ferrari fights to hold off Mercedes and McLaren hopes for a miracle to overtake Alpine.

- Not much to say here.

- Mercedes being Mercedes. I felt bad for Lewis though.

- Turns out I was half asleep when I watched Abu Dhabi because I didn’t remember shit from that race.

- Fucking Alonso saying bye again and saying he’s happy to leave 😭

- Seb saying he doesn’t know what it feels like to be away from the sport. Cried again.

- Daniel’s little tribute 🥹😭 I’m going to miss that idiot so so much.

That was basically it. I hope you enjoyed this masterpiece ❤️

im finding myself only craving healthy low cal foods

tips:

- use seasonings!! so many seasonings (esp powder) are barely any kcals, also a really good salad dressing is miso + lemon juice, and the nandos peri peri sauces are only 15 kcal

-tea without sugar!! holds you over and is nice if you like to have something to taste in your mouth instead of eating a ton

-if making salads, finely chop everything if you aren't a fan of the taste of vegetables

-grapes!! put the bag in the freezer and they will taste like little candy slushie bites

- lean protein can really hold you over, chicken breast w spices is soo good esp w lemon juice, just make sure to not use oil or use only a tiny bit of spray oil

-meal prep healthy salads and choices!! if you make veggie sticks, salads, baked veggies or sauted veggies (no oil), airfried cauliflier bites w spices (no oil), boiled eggs (in soy sauce, vingear and stevia marinade is so good) it gives u smth to eat when ur hungry snd stops you from slipping up hecause its right there and easy to grab instead of whatever other unhealthy options there are in your house

-cabbage!! you can heat it up in the microwave till its soft and you can volume eat it instead of binging on unhealthy food, purple cabbage when baked/softened is quite sweet and yum, you can also add low cal sauces (like the miso one)

-frozen fruits and protein yoghurt will make u feel so full for so little cals

with all these tips its easier to maintain smaller portions and still have flavourful food so that its easier to maintain!!

hope this helped x

2023 F1 Predicts

This is based on my own person unhinged vibes and nothing else.

Driver’s Champion: Obviously, as a Charles girlie(gn), I want to write Charles name here. But I think Charles’ fate is to be fated to always be second. He wants it more than anything and we slowly watch the realization over the next few season’s that it might remain out of reach forever before he gets it in the most unexpected way. Next year is Max again. He gets three and then never another.

Constructor’s Champion: Stay with me. It’s Ferrari. They put up a good car that does just enough to ensure P1 in the constructor’s and everyone ignores that it’s mostly because the infighting in the RBR garage has reached a boiling point and their second driver is not really second driving. They pull it out. Charles goes home and cries in Pierre’s arms in French because he thinks it’s the only championship trophy he’ll ever hold. Pierre is long suffering and lovely about it. Carlos fucks about it. You fill in the blank on just who he fucks.

Best Midfield Driver: Lando Norris. Lando won F1.5 this year. I did not fuck with Lando before this season. Everyone was talking about him and maybe I was just being resistant to be a stubborn bitch (because I do that), but this year, I have done a 180 on Lando. The kid drove that orange crayon around the track and he’ll do it again next year somehow and I’ll be happy for him.

Biggest Flop Driver: I want to say Sargeant because I’m so mad about his existence in my happy place, but the reality is that he’s going to be in a Williams and unless Alex Albon makes a deal with a crossroads demon, we won’t be able to tell if he’s a flop or not. (Unless he pulls a Nicky, honestly.) There will be a “flop” in that someone from a top team will massively underperform from their teammate and everyone will be screeching for their heads. I’m not saying it’s Checo. But I’m not not saying it’s Checo.

Most Improved Driver: Selfishly, I want to say to you all that it will be Pierre Gasly now that he’s away from AT, but unless Alpine fixes their reliability issues...and also, it’s not fair to say he’s “improved”, so I’m going to say it’s Yuki. He has a lot to prove. There’s no clear “driver 1 & 2″ at AT. He takes the winter break and gets his head on straight and decides that he’s going to make it work (and not just because he’s at risk). Pierre is very proud of him and finally gives him the address to his house.

Biggest Team Flop: Aston continues to disappoint actually and we call it a flop because it’s the thing that breaks Nando and makes him leave the sport for good. Lawrence Stroll has a nervous breakdown. Lance sells the team and disappears into the sunset and we catch a glimpse of him in 10 years when Scotty and Chloe have a kid who wants to get in a kart and occasionally on Canadian French television coverage of hockey games.

Most Improved Team: The real answer is Mercedes who will be back in the fight next year. The team literally no one will shut up about is McLaren. Which still brings an embarrassing car to the grid, but Lando is dominating the midfield and Oscar is consistently in the points. Australia has a reckoning over who the best Australian driver is. Somehow, Scotty James gets invited and he ends up winning. Everyone pretends like it never happened.

Best Rookie: It’s De Vries. Again, that name stealing bastard is driving a Williams and we won’t be able to tell. Oscar gets outshined by Lando and he doesn’t have the personality to make up for it. De Vries fully leans into the debris thing and he and Yuki try and out fruit each other so much and so often that Dr. Marko finally realizes the fruit factory he’s been facilitating for so long can not be dismantled. He also does well in the points and he’s just so fucking happy to be there. Everyone loves him. He gets three little gold star stickers during Max’s 3rd WDC championship celebration from Kelly because she thought he was an actual child and Daniel never forgets that and brings it up twice a year to Max until they die.

Best Race: Brazil delivers on both drama and at least one championship battle. Someone gets in deep shit in Las Vegas though so no one talks about anything else for an entire week. Singapore ends up being the most exciting race in terms of racecraft. Someone announces their unexpected retirement right before though so the Sky Sports commentators only talk about that instead of anything interesting on track. Sam Collins cries into his microphone.

Race Winners: Max, Charles, George, Carlos, Lewis. For sure. Lando Norris finally becomes a race winner. Carlos - purely self-indulgent - is P2. I cry like a baby on my couch while those two spray each other in the faces with champagne and Carlos cuffs Lando around the back of the neck and my partner looks at me and asks are we sure they’re not fucking and I eat my croissant in silence.

Surprise Pole Sitter: We have a KMag situation but with Bottas. He does not win the race, but he texts Lewis before he gets in the car and says just like old times. Lewis cries and thinks about retiring.

Points gap between 1 & 2: The Constructor’s championship is embarrassing and RBR gets flounced by both Mercedes and Ferrari. The Driver’s championship is a true fight to the end. Max wraps it up and when he and Charles shake hands in the cool down room (while George looks on like the awkward freak he can be), Max pretends he doesn’t see Charles’ tears and Charles pretends that he doesn’t see the way Max looks tired.

Biggest Team Rivalry: Internal? Oh, next year is going to be bad. Max and Checo snipe at each other in interviews until Christian is forced to insert Danny into every single marketing video and be present every time the two drivers have to be in the same room. Christian has to keep giving him raises, but don’t worry. It’s not coming out of the cost cap. Surprisingly, Esteban and Pierre get along fairly well until Estie Bestie gives Pierre’s car a little love tap and they both crash out. Este says it’s not his fault. Fernando doesn’t understand why this kid (Lance) doesn’t actually give a shit about racing and it blows up. Zak realizes that he is forcing twink on twink crime and they turn on him. I become the Lucille Bluth good for her meme.

Most wins by one driver in the 2023 season: Max again. But it’s close and it goes all the way to the end. We all cry every single week and we get many many new blogs dedicated to the math of the championship standings. One of them gets cancelled for being transphobic.

Wildcard predictions: We get an unexpected retirement announcement. A former driver gets outted and we all have to get on Twitter and educate the masses on how there’s likely a queer driver, but it’s not exactly safe for them to be out and holy fuck, why are we forcing people out of the closet? Mick has to fill in for someone who is too sick to drive and he finishes well in the points and he gets a full time seat offer for the 2024 season. Daniel never comes back to racing full-time, but he does regain all the weight he lost and we cheer for him and his silly little expensive merch.

#I should not post this #I am exposing far too much about myself here #Enjoy this #do not take any of this seriously #but please do share your own outrageous predictions for next season #we meet back here in a year and discuss #f1 #f12023

Catie i need to know in the famous interview w ron dennis DID FERNANDO EAT AN APPLE OR A PEACH??????? This is important information and im getting conflicting data. It looks like an apple but in my head its always been a peach

Okay so I don't know how to find that interview itself but I did remember that they showed it in Nando's doc, so here:

The peach thing is a seperate thing. I understand why you'd be inclined to think it's a peach in this interview, bcs the peach thing is so iconic but this is def an apple. I like to think that this is just an extension of the peach thing. Because wasn't it that Ron Dennis hated any messy fruit eating? An apple is also messy honestly, so I like to think Fernando is particularly trying to be a bastard here as well, but a peach is perhaps too obscene to eat in a public interview SJFKVLV

#one of the best things about teh original peach story is the mention of his beard #it particularly mentions how the juices were in his beard #but huh what wasnt he specifically clean shaven in 2007 bcs of Ron Dennis' weird specifications?(shaven bald clean shaven etc)#but it just adds another layer to ir bcs he did in fact hsve a beard for literally like one weekend in 2007 #so not only is he eating a peach messily to fuck w ron but hes also ignoring his weird stipulations abt appearance as well 😭#btw this is somewhat related but i cant stop thinking abt that flavio quote abt ron dennis not being able to be strict w nando #and i feel like ron dennis was strict but literally not in any way that would actually keep fernando in line yknow?#the whole haircut thing. thats not gonna make nando respect him itll just make him resent him #so maybe thats what flavio wss getting at #catie.asks.#fernando alonso

Eri is said to be the original legendary cultural head of the Umu-eri groups of the Igbo people. Eri established a community in the middle of Anambra river valley (at Eri-aka) in Aguleri where he married two wives. The first wife, Nneamakụ, bore him five children. The first was Agulu, the founder of Aguleri (The ancestral head of Eri Kingdom clans) (the Ezeora dynasty that has produced 34 kings till date in Enugwu Aguleri), the second was Menri, the founder of Umunri / Kingdom of Nri, followed by Onugu, the founder of Igbariam and Ogbodulu, the founder of Amanuke. The fifth one was a daughter called Iguedo, who is said to have borne the founders of Nteje, and Awkuzu, Ogbunike, Umuleri, Nando and Ogboli in Onitsha. As one of the children of Eri, Menri migrated from Aguleri, which was and still is, the ancestral temple of the entire Umu-Eri (Umu-Eri and Umu-Nri). His second wife Oboli begot Ọnọja, the only son who founded the Igala Kingdom in Kogi State.

Eri is the founder of the Umueri and Umunri clans, both of whom were some of the most influential and powerful dynasties of priests and diviners in Igboland and adjacent areas such as the Bini and Igala/Idoma areas

When Eri was sent by Chukwu from the sky to the earth, he sat on an ant-hill because he saw watery marshy earth. When Eri complained to Chukwu, Chukwu sent an Awka blacksmith with his fiery bellows and charcoal to dry the earth. After the assignment, the Awka blacksmith was given ọfọ as a mark of authority for his smithing profession. While Eri lived, Chukwu fed him and his people with azu-igwe. But this special food ceased after the death of Eri. Nri, one of his sons, complained to Chukwu for food. Chukwu ordered Nri to sacrifice his first son and daughter and bury them in separate graves. Nri complied with it. Later after three Igbo-weeks (12 days) yam grew from the grave of the son and coco yam from that of the daughter. When Nri and his people ate these, they slept for the first time; later still Nri killed a male and a female slave burying them separately. Again, after Izu Ato, an oil palm grew from the grave of the male slave, and a bread fruit tree (ukwa) from that of the female-slave. With this new food supply, Nri and his people ate and prospered. Chukwu asked him to distribute the new food items to all people but Nri refused because he bought them at the cost of sacrificing his own children and slaves. Nri and Chukwu made an agreement. According to M. D. W. Jeffreys (1956:123), a tradition has it that:

"As a reward for distributing food to the other towns, Nri would have the right of cleansing every town of an abomination (nso) or breach, and of tying the Ngulu (ankle cords) when a man takes the title of ozo. Also he and his successor’s would have the privilege of making the Oguji, or yam medicine, each year for ensuring a plentiful supply of yams in all surrounding towns, or in all towns that subjected themselves to the Eze Nri. For this medicine all the surrounding towns would come in and pay tribute and Umunmdri people then could travel unarmed through the world and no one would attack or harm them"

Another legend holds that Eri was one of the seven sons of Gad, who was himself one of the twelve sons of Jacob. He left the area together with his brothers Areli and Arodi and settled in the west bank of the Niger river in the present Anambra state, where Eri had a son called Aguleri who became the father of most of the Igbo clans

Note

For the hubby!! 👈🏼👈🏼👀 also Aster because i havrnt show much love to her as Vern haha UnU

🌻 💐🌾🍃 🌱 💮 🌷

ask meme here!!

🌻 — Where would your OC get lost in a place of beauty?

Aster

In a forest on an autumn day, the sun about to set, painting the sky shades of pink and orange as a golden light shines through the trees and reflects off the surface of a nearby stream, causing it to sparkle in the early evening. The gentle bubble of running water mixes with the crunch of leaves underfoot. The air is crisp, breathing it in makes Aster feel like she’s giving her lungs a deep clean, and a misty cloud escapes her lips when she exhales. The leaves remaining on the trees are shades of orange and red, the warmth of their colours contrasted by the cool temperature. She wishes it could last forever, but she also knows the fleeting nature of such a scene is why it’s so mesmerising in the first place.

Vernon

After a hectic Saturday night/early Sunday morning shift, Vernon sets down atop a large hill overlooking the Wild Area as dawn begins to break. He watches the sky fade from indigo to orange, as the sun’s first rays begin to emerge. He watches the shadows across the sprawling landscape change and the wild pokemon emerge from their hiding places for the new day. In a way, his day has ended just as everyone else’s has begun, when the cold of the night gets replaced by the warmth of the sun. But he’s also fairly certain he’s the only person in the region who gets to see this view as often as he does, and every time without fail, he’s struck by just how beautiful the Galar region is. He may be physically exhausted, but Vernon doesn’t think he’ll ever get tired of this view.

💐 — if you could send your OC a bouquet, what flowers would make it up and what is the overall message?

Aster

Her bouquet would be based around yellow, orange and red colour scheme; French marigolds, red poppies, sunflowers and freesia. Overall message being to take pride and pleasure in your passions, and to trust yourself.

Vernon

His bouquet is mostly green and white, with a dash of pink: gardenia, holly, crocus and caladium. Overall message being you’re a lovely guy, and I wish you happiness and delight.

🌾 — How picky is your OC with food? What will and won’t they eat?

Aster

Major sweet tooth. Desserts, fruit, chocolate, pastries, loves them all. Except bananas. Generally speaking though, not super picky with food. You can’t really afford to be when you’ve been on the road for nearly half your life. Does try to avoid dairy where she can, not due to an outright intolerance, but she has noticed her skin tends to get worse when she’s had a lot of it. Not really into cheese unless it’s on pizza.

Vernon

Can and will eat most things unless it’s particularly spicy. Plays it safe and goes for the medium hot sauce at nando’s because he isn’t a total coward. Despises cauliflower.

🍃 — What’s the darkest period of time your OC has been through?

Aster

Ironically, becoming Galar champion kickstarted Aster’s worst life experience in her eyes. She was still an incredibly shy and anxious girl, so struggled to cope with the post battle interviews and publicity that came with her “coronation”. And after officially being crowned, the attention did not let up. Chairman Rose also gave her two schedules to abide by, one for training her pokemon, and the other for training herself for media appearances. She was left with very little free time to do things she actually enjoyed, and the sudden change in schedule was very stressful for her. So she ran off. With the help of her parents, she managed to get on a boat to Kalos without anyone noticing she was gone until the next morning.

The next few months were difficult in a different way: she could now do whatever she wanted at her own pace, but she was in a foreign country where she didn’t know anyone, and still reeling from the short lived experience that was being champion of Galar. The first thing she did was run out into the nearest route, find a secluded space and scream until her lungs gave out. She wanted to leave Galar and see new places, just not under these circumstances.

Vernon

When Aster left Galar, Vernon was distraught. He felt awful enough for not being able to protect her from the league — he could feel his heart break for her when she came home in tears after being champion for 2 weeks. He was extremely against her leaving the region, and wanted to go with her if it wasn’t for his job. She left anyway. So he called her every day to make sure she was fine. Aster, properly exploring true independence for the first time, already in an unfamiliar environment, could not deal with the extra stress that came with her brother’s shift from protective to overbearing. At first she started ignoring his calls here and there, but after around a month she had enough and the two of them had a fight. She screamed and cried and told him she never wanted to speak to him again.

Vernon proceeded to rapidly fall into a depression as his worst fear appeared to have been realised — he’d lost his little sister who he loves so dearly. He told work that he was sick when really he would spend the day in bed and crying. After around a week, however, Aster called him back. She apologised for lashing out at him the way she did, and explained in calmer terms that she wanted to be more independent, but couldn’t really do that if he’s constantly trying to check in on her. She didn’t mean it when she said she never wanted to speak to him again, but could he please stop calling every day? Once a week is enough.

Vernon managed to get her to agree to twice a week.

His boundaries are far better now, but when they were younger, especially when Aster was a child, Vernon was more than a bit obsessed with her well-being. He still adores her, always will, but this outright rejection — the first major conflict they really ever had — caused Vernon to lose a big part of his identity as he always saw himself as Aster’s Protector. It took about a year for him to properly get over it.

🌱 — What new passions/hates is your OC discovering?

Aster

She already collects dvds and blu rays, but she’s decided to go in a more retro vein and now also collects old VHS tapes too. They’re all second hand, obviously, and she even found a VHS player to watch them on. Likes watching them not necessarily for the plot of the movies themselves, though some of them are good, but so she can see if there’s any scenes that the tape’s previous owner(s) may have particularly liked (the more a tape is replayed, the faster the image quality degrades, so if a certain scene is replayed a bunch of times it will theoretically look worse than the rest of the movie).

Also taken to dupe hunting in vintage and thrift stores. Since she can’t afford actual designer pieces, if she sees some high fashion stuff she’s into, she’ll go looking for something that’s got a similar shape/silhouette and made from a similar sort of fabric to the item she likes. Aster has standards, she’d rather buy a good quality piece that isn’t exactly the same over a cheap knock off made of plastic. Has a very low opinion of knock offs in general, thinks they’re tacky and an insult to the original designers — especially if it’s a knock off of something made by a small indie brand. Bit of a fashion bitch.

Vernon

Mentioned in a past ask meme, but latte art. This guy can draw a person’s portrait in the foam, or do some 3D foam of a cute pokemon. When he visits Aster he’ll make her a coffee w a foam Galarian Meowth head sticking out, because he knows she loves cat pokemon so much. Does not share this skill with people outside of his family, unless it’s with a significant other.

Went to a museum with his parents a few weeks ago and discovered he really, REALLY, does not like or understand the point of abstract art. He would rather look at a nice landscape painting than a bunch of paint splatters. Upon voicing this opinion he was faced with an impromptu art history lecture from his mother. He still does not like abstract art.

💮 — Has your OC ever kissed someone? Who, when, and where?

Both of these guys have kissed more than one person so you’re just getting their respective first kisses here xx

Aster

A near stranger when she was 16, who she promptly slept with so she could get losing her virginity “out of the way” (her words) while she was travelling through Hoenn. Did not use protection. Never saw the guy again. Had a pregnancy scare. Moved on.

Vernon

His first kiss happened at a party when he was 15, during a game of spin the bottle. He was drunk. Does not remember it all that well. probably for the best as he lead with his tongue and the poor guy on the receiving end was thoroughly repulsed. Was like being stabbed in the face with a raw chicken fillet lol
