everybody wants things to be ~enemies to lovers~ when the dynamic of "We are truly matched rivals... ultimate nemeses... one of us will defeat the other... I respect you even as I seek to destroy you, just as you do for me... for we are Uniquely Equals... no one else is on our level... perfectly counterbalanced but equally noble warriors in our clashing goals that will lead to the ultimate destruction of one or the other... this obsession will destroy us Both" "[deep sigh] no. I hate you. please get out of my office" is infinitely funnier
this is all your fuckign fault. relapsing in real time because of YOU
you and everyone else in our fucking mutual circle and also every other mutual circle has been incessant about how I need to watch jjk don't try it this is on you
considering covid is still a thing, lewis saying he kinda regrets not taking a race weekend off to do the movie in hindsight, merc not having a dominant car anymore for it not to matter, and them loosing both of their reserve drivers, and they don’t have a junior in a Williams seat like they had with george, I’d say yeah merc definitely want the best driver they can get as their reserve and that just happens to be daniel atm
like 😭 if you're one of the top teams on the grid and you can get an eight time winner's ass in your reserve seat, you'd have to be fucking crazy not to do it, and that goes double when it's not like the well is overflowing with talent to pick from at the current moment. then you add to that the fact that doing so might also be interpreted as a little jab at your main rival for NOT being able to secure the bag first? it's a no fucking brainer
If you stay up late enough you discover a new type of being horny that doesn't have anything to do with sex but is unmistakably still the same emotion as horniness... this is a kind of horny you generally only feel abt god, unconsumated psychosexual rivalries, the idea of being fed grapes while reclining, etc. and then this knowledge vanishes again as the sun rises. like the morning dew
btw if you're going to go down the route of "everyone lives happily ever after, by which i mean gets married and settles down and plenty of kids" at the end of your story then the ONLY right way to do it is to give the villain character a kid as well and have these descendants meet and become best friends before the sins of their fathers inevitably come back to haunt them and turn their innocent childhood friendship into a nightmare psychosexual rivalry in which people are killed
reconnecting with a boy I used to have a crush on for like 7 years in middle school, and after all these years, the first thing we talk about is social anxiety.
the codependent homoerotic teenage friendship/rivalry evolved to a weird psychosexual rivalry between two traumatized dudes with shitty coping mechanisms and even though they are technically ennemies they can’t help but trust the other wholeheartedly.
