most of the drivers' reactions to the whole Horner situation is so disappointing tbh. what do you mean someone in the paddock, an employee gets harassed by one of the top figures in the sport and your reaction is either "it has nothing to do with me", or "no comment", "i just like cars and i want to drive", "it's noise and distraction", "i'm here to race", and "it's a good thing for the media", "it doesn't affect me", "i don't really have an interest".
why is it so hard to care about something other than your racing career? you gotta have some morals, dude. not caring about women's safety in your oh so beloved sport is some fucked up behaviour. in situations like this it really shows how fucking privileged they are and it's honestly repulsive.
this is precisely why Lewis is always the one being asked about any non-sport related topic. because he's the only one who cares and gives honest and nuanced answers. genuinely terrified of what this sport will become when he retires, cause no one will speak out on anything.
and then people wonder why we say that f1 is not a safe place for women and that misogyny is still very much a thing in the sport? men don't care, including the president of the fia and f1, the other team principals and most of the drivers as well. when the faces of the sport clearly don't give a shit about women, what kind of hope is there?
they can talk about equality and progressive values and promoting women in motorsports, when this is the reality of how they actually treat the women working in the sport. imagine how that poor woman is feeling, seeing how much the drivers care about what she's going through. utterly disrespectful, with no compassion or empathy.
f1 needs to do so much better.

And for even MORE throwbacks...some of my animation ref from season 1 episode "Prison Break". This scene was originally boarded by Aaron Austin. I think this was one of the very last things I worked on from season 1!

The one thing they didn’t use from Vi’s LoL lore for her character in Arcane that I wish they had is the fact that she’s also a tech wiz. Or at least a highly competent tinkerer. Like, her gauntlets were originally something that she scavenged and retrofitted herself from a mining machine (which honestly makes more sense than Jayce designing them as mining devices).
But in Arcane we get no sense that Vi is a skilled mechanic. They probably dropped it because they were leaning hard into the trope of “brawny older sibling, brainy younger sibling,” but honestly, I would like it better if both sisters were smart engineers.
Maybe in season 2, since Jinx with the shimmer enhancement is now physically stronger than Vi, Vi will become more “brainy,” learning how to operate and enhance her gauntlets with engineering skill rather than just brute force.

So I just learned about "Shawn's Resume" which was the Official Resume made by Shawn Spencer posted to the USA Network site sometime in 2006, but apparently the link doesn't work anymore so people have been settling for a summarized version on LiveJournal but GUESS WHO FOUND IT???? BECAUSE BESTIES IT IS ON THE WAYBACK MACHINE
Here's a link to Shawn's Resume via the Wayback Machine
The video links don't work, but you can still scroll through and read the whole three-page interactive resume :) You are very welcome
