In honor of Throttled’s three-year anniversary, here are some Slade family head cannons!

Noah does the cooking in the house.

Maya’s responsibility is to read out the recipe he’s making.

Noah always participates in Maya’s vlogs when she asks and threatens asks everyone else with him to do it as well.

Maya realizes she gained 10K followers overnight when she posted an Instagram story with Noah walking around shirtless behind her in the frame.

Shirtless Noah is then banned in the household.

Maya’s parents favor Noah over both Santiago and Maya, and Noah never stops flaunting it.

Noah watches soap operas with his mother-in-law and does not stop talking about the plotline for days.

Whenever they fight, Maya retaliates by wearing Santiago’s number again.

Noah’s equivalent to sleeping on the couch during fights is hanging at Santi’s place till he gets kicked out to go “make up with his wife”

Occasionally, Maya is the third wheel in Noah and Santiago’s bromance.

After retiring, Noah only comes back to Bandini as Team Principal after James Mitchell retires from the post.

Having Liam and Sophie as neighbors means lots of joint dinner parties, festival celebrations, emergency midnight crisis contacts and accidental witnessing of things like -

Noah and Maya witnessing Liam and Sophie trampoline jumping into their pool from the roof.

Liam and Sophie watching Noah discuss the latest soap opera in heavy detail over barbeque with a full outline of the characters, plot twists and the villains (Sophie doesn’t know but Liam asks about the channel and the time it airs after dinner).

Because of his issues with his parents, Maya is first anxious to tell Noah that she’s pregnant.

Noah bursts into tears with happiness when she does tell him though.

Maya’s cravings make Noah a professional chef who sometimes races.

Noah tries to stop Maya from travelling with him and only allows her to do it till her second trimester.

Maya never tells Noah, but she thinks he looks hot carrying a baby bag filled with essentials.

Noah is on the podium when Maya’s water breaks.

Maya is carried by Noah to the car with Santi and Jax clearing out the way.

The two hours Maya is in labor are the most excruciating of his entire life and he hates that he agreed to let her be present at the race where so many things could have gone wrong.

Noah cries when the Doctor tells him his wife and son are both in good condition. Noah cries harder when he holds Marko for the first time.

Marko has the most loving and doting parents in the world, the best grandparents and the coolest uncle.

Marko develops a love for racing at a very early age.

Unlike his own father, Noah lets Marko take it at his own pace. He is proud of his son and even more proud that they love the same sport, but he does not want to be controlling and obsessive.

Maya loves setting up playdates with Sophie’s twins the moment she finds out about Marko’s little crush.

Initially, Marko chooses his mother’s birthday date as his car number.

He is offered a contract from Bandini at the age of 20. Noah takes a backseat from being the Team Principal, becomes a strategist instead.

Tio Santi is his go-to person for everything. When his parents come off as overbearing? Sleepover at Tio Santi’s. Love advice for a girl’s he crushed on his whole life? Tio Santi. How to bail him from trouble without letting his parents know? Tio Santi.

Marko is a vivid reader after he borrows Stephen King's books from Liam one time. He also takes suggestions from Sophie about the romance books her daughter is currently into.

When Maya finally conceives their daughter, Noah nearly passes out from hearing the news.

When Baby Slade is born, no one loves and dotes on her like Marko does. Whatever she wants, she will get.

A 12-year age difference means Marko is very protective of her.

Baby Slade is fawned over by her father and spoiled rotten by both the Slade men.

When she starts pre-school, Noah is a rare father in the hordes of mothers trying to get his wailing daughter to go inside.

Noah does not notice all the women fanning themselves when his daughter rushes into his arms but Maya having already witnessed this during Marko’s preschool does after which Papa Slade is banned never to pick his daughter up alone.

Maya sings her daughter to sleep in spanish most nights.

Baby Slade follows everything her older brother does -

Starts writing with her left hand because “Koko” does.

Wants her hair styled like Koko’s.

Wants to race as well as Koko (cue heartbroken Noah).

When her date for prom does not show up, Marko flies in on the eve of a Grand Prix to take her and flies her out for his race later the next day.

The older she gets, the more she teases her brother about his one-sided love.

They are openly proud of each other’s achievements; he posts about the school awards she’s won on his stories, and she always keeps tracks of her big brother’s races.

Maya loves how they are as close as Santi and her.

Her first boyfriend has to be escorted out of their home, sniffing and on the verge of tears, by an apologetic Maya thanks to the Slade men drilling him incessantly.

After which Noah and Marko have to earn the youngest Slade's affection back and ask for forgiveness not less than a hundred times.

Tio Santi is her favorite adult and like her older brother, she loves calling him her superhero.

Both Slade siblings are fluent in atleast 3 languages. Their motto is - Spanish, sexy and Slade.

No matter how old they get, Noah still calls Marko “monkey” and his daughter “princess”

No matter how old they get, the Slade children never not love how involved, cherished and loved their parents make them feel.

No matter how old they get, Noah and Maya still dance in the kitchen to soft music with dimmed lights constantly reminding each other how loved they are and how there is no other place they’d rather be.

THIS WAS A LOT LONGER THAN I PLANNED FOR IT TO BE AND BY THE END OF IT I DIDN’T PLAN TO GET SO EMOTIONAL. THIS SERIES MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AND I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS SO MUCH THAT IT IS OVERWHELMING AT TIMES

"but hamas is getting funded by extremist islamic hate groups!" do you think the U.S. government and military giving funding for israeli's war efforts against palestinians is a morally neutral and inherently righteous body that had no influence in the politics of southwest asia as a global colonial superpower. do you really think anything you can say about the people resisting oppression can't be said about the oppressors.

#brieuc.txt #palestine #this isnt me justifying it but it is me pointing out the double standard how hamas' funding is antithetical to the freedom movement #but the u.s.' influence and financial support is completely fine and doesnt need to be brought up at all #''hamas doesnt have the best interests of palestinian people'' may be true but the alternative is not allowing an apartheid state to exist #also its a ridiculous thing to say because thats a common thing in most countries #neo-nazi groups r a major problem in the Ukraine military but nobody questions ukraine's right for freedom.#the double standards keep on piling up #im not saying you cant criticise these groups but is it criticism or is it propaganda #are you talking abt how war radicalises and changes n traumatises people or are you implying every palestinian is a dirty terrorist #etc #and do you understand that in an active war zone n worlds largest open air prison violence is guaranteed and is brutal.#or do you think that if the people with no electricity and water just Werent So Stubborn And Talked everything would be okay?#and do you consider white people fighting for freedom martyrs but brown people doing the same terrorists

statistics say that on average there is at least three instances of iceman yelling at an airman a week. this is false. pete mitchell is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Hiii everyone, say, how do your Hawkes go go about sharing their estate? If they do it at all? Is everyone free to come and go or are they more private? Or do they only invite their LI to stay? I'm curious!! :)

#lay rambles #my ocs #oc: liam hawke #oc: lilian hawke #both my hawkes are very social w their friends but i love comparing their boundaries around it #theres variation in rules for specific ppl with both of them ofc but theres still general differences #with liam its all very open and everyone can p much come and go whenever #they dont get extra keys (theyll get lost and he doesnt want randos finding them lol) but they know where to find the spare key #and bodhan and sandal and orana know to let them in whenever #hes very lenient in this this regard but he does have rules abt what he does and doesnt want them to do #mostly its about not making too much of a mess lol bc liam prefers to clean himself #(he doesnt trust the crew with his household and also he has particular ways of doing things and Hates when theyre done differently)#so things like keep your dirty garb at the entrance dont cook by yourselves (this was banned after they did it one (1) time lol) etc #also no fucking allowed. do that somewhere else for the love of the maker he does NOT want to walk into that in his own house #(and it also comes back to liam not trusting them with cleaning but also Not wanting to clean that up lol)#also he is not fond of them going into his room uninvited. most of the house is chill but that is *his* space #he accommodates these rules by e.g. having spare slippers and a little washing basin in the entrance hall for dirty shoes/feet #always makes sure to have snacks in stock that he knows they like #food will have notes abt what to leave for leandra/orana/etc but otherwise food is prepared with his friends in mind #and in general he'll make sure to adjust the space/routine in little ways to accommodate them #(air out when fen isnt there cus he doesnt like drafts; keep curtains open cus anders prefers open spaces; etc)#lilian on the other hand doesnt like when her friends come into the estate without a heads up (cept for emergencies)#but once they have her 'ok' its basically mi casa es su casa #dont yknow. overdo it and get too rowdy but otherwise do whatever #however. she also expects everyone to clean up after themselves. she aint here to play maid and youre all adults #also liam has a general 'please try to not be too wild when leandra is here' and lilian doesnt #not cos she doesnt care but cos leandra is bothered by sth she can speak up herself #oh and lilian uses the basement space as temporary refuge for anyone who needs it (mostly escaped mages)#also side note: both offered gamlen to stay but he refused (out of pride/remorse)#...this got long and i ran out of tag space lmfao so this is it for now xD

The Dirty Air by Lauren Asher

My sister bought me this series for Christmas and I have been so anxious to read it. <3 It even made me interested in watching Formula 1 races. Which, is a rather unfortunate atrocity seeing as my time is already booked with escaping reality through literature. *sigh* What I loved– the angst, the swoon, the character development. I adore the epilogues, too. So so much. What I could have done without– the constant crassness of the men at the beginning of each book (I don’t mind them being assholes but I could do without “fuck” in every line of dialogue and inner thoughts. Honestly it’s my only qualm with Asher’s writing. Sometimes, I read a book or series and think “wow this will be a reread for sure.” However, I had never finished a book and immediately wanted to reread it to annotate it. Until the dirty air series. Brain, meet obsession. There is a direct correlation from how beat up my books look to how much I love them. The chart looks like this.

These books? Absolutely wrecked (heh get it? Because of book thre– okay I’ll stop.

Throttled

Oh my lord. Do you love brother’s rival (enemy?) tropes? How about forbidden romance (see brother’s rival)? Slow Burn? This is the book for you! Noah and Maya are so funny I love them so much. Both of their characters developed so much through this book and it was a joy to read them. I especially how much Maya was able to stand up for herself to Santi. She had as much growing to do as Noah did, which is one of my favorites. I also adored how much of a simp Noah is for Maya. Simps reign supreme in my heart. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Collided

I’m not going to lie, I was really apprehensive about going into Liam and Sophie’s story, even though Collided’s cover was the one that drew me into the series in the first place. Once again we have a forbidden romance between our protagonists, ah how cruel the heart can be. Sophie’s list had me cackling certainly NOT because mine looks ⅔ similar Liam’s prologue was totally unexpected and I can honestly say it hooked me. I did feel that the push and pull between the friendzone and the warring chemistry was a little drawn out. I think this book could have moved 100 pages from that to secret dates or *gasp* emotional bonding. Overall, I did enjoy their story. Sophie is a pure soul. I also really enjoyed seeing the alternative side of the same timeline we experienced in Throttled. James Mitchell is my fave, btw. 10/10 dad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wrecked Oooh ooh ohh angst from the get go. Thank you thank you thank you Lauren Asher. After meeting Jax in book one, he was the racer I was least excited to read about, but, (butta butta but) he is a curly haired tattooed man with anxiety.What can I say? As my queen and goddess stated, “it’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me”

SO, now I’m in. Also, he is SO SO sweet with his Mama I love him. Jax is a scared little puppy waiting for someone to get past his defenses enough to scoop him up and take him home. Once I realized this, my heart melted for him. Elena might be coming for Maya’s spot as my fave fmc in this series. She is so assured and witty. At the ancient age of 26, nearly 27, I found I could relate to Elena’s more mature narration. She is confident, assured, and truly a “do no harm take no sh**” kind of lady. I think I could like her a lot. And don’t get me started on sweet baby Elias. Oh my darling carino. Too pure, must protec. Elena and Jax’s dynamic starts off very strong. Both with zest and fight coursing through them. I love love love their banter. Both of these lil babies are emotionally stunted, which is becoming a trope I wasn’t aware I craved. Their easy volley of clap backs had me smiling so much it hurt. And the character development my GOD the character development with these two was so so good. By the end I was literally sobbing. Was this a fragile week for me? Yes. Do I think I still would have sobbed? Yes. And that epilogue? Heart, meet knife ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Redeemed At this point, I think Lauren Asher sits on her throne of hell writing chair and thinks “hmmm how could I make this prologue more gut wrenching than the last one?” Yes, yes, I hear you. “But Chey! How can (view spoiler) and I HEAR you but also, Santi? SANTI?! I love him. The lead up for this story is both comical and heart wrenching, which makes us all look like jerks for laughing. Chloe has found an ancestry kit to lead her to her long lost dad. Will he be awesome? Will he suck as bad as her mom (almost impossible)? Who knows!?! Coincidentally, her journeys take her to the same town our broken hero Santiago Altorre is residing in. And what do we find Santiago doing? Well, he was just told that Maya and Noah need to watch their son Marko for two weeks because (view spoiler) Angst and comedy leading into the perfect setup for this fake dating trope? *Swoon* Alright, confession time. My favorite tropes are one bed, fake dating, single dad, and accidental pregnancy. I know that last one is wildly unpopular but my god it’s my kryptonite. Santi isn’t a single dad, but taking care of Marko for the two weeks means that he fits the bill, even if only temporarily. And I absolutely adore the friendly banter between them– how much they want to help the other heal. If you like Archer’s Voice, I think you’ll love this book. This book gave me nearly everything that makes my heart sing about romances. Gahh A million stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
