Anyway a very vital tumblr skill is getting a few lines into the post, sensing Tomfoolery on the wind, and suppressing your curiosity enough to scroll without looking. "Wow, this person is about to talk about my least favorite topic!" *scroll*. Or: "Wow, this is the start of a really bad take!" *scroll*.
The nuclear option is blacklisting a tag or unfollowing someone, but getting into the topic at all can be avoided. You don't have to make an argument with someone you don't need to engage with. You don't have to correct them. Scroll. Find inner peace. Don't give them attention or a larger audience if you don't want to support them.
One day, you will reach posting nirvana, and never find out about others' bad takes ever again.

My fellow Americans I am in need of your help.
As you may or may not noticed my series on webtoons suddenly disappeared because of mysterious forces known only by God herself. I have already reached out to webtoon support but I am yet to receive a response. Because of that I have decided to take it upon myself and just re-upload it immediately, sadly that means I'd lose all my followers, comments, likes and such like. What I'm asking for is, if you'd be so kind, reblog this lovely post everywhere you can, and also (if you want) manufacture superficial engagement. What that means is try to like some of the comics there, write some comments, they don't even need to make sense just go crazy. Please do engage in great amount of tomfoolery in the comment sections, make up inside jokes, reference things that don't exist I don't care. I'm not even sure if that'll help the algorithm I just think it'd be humorous :)
Tl;dr: Comic is back please reblog this post and also leave likes and silly comics under comics because algorithm and also I because I think it's be funni

ok all tomfoolery aside. the bear season 2 really did fucking deliver. what a stellar follow up. i genuinely mean it when i say i stand by every decision they made this time around. they were intentional and they were inspired. most especially, they didnt waste time. like the kitchen's motto: they made every second count. i came out loving the characters more and also understanding their depths more. i felt like a kid just wide-eyed and in awe of whatever i was seeing on and hearing from my screen. theres just so much to love!! sydney's ambition and tenacity in full focus. carmy's emotional baggage heavier this time around. the inspiring development of richie and tina and ebra. marcus! natalie! pete! sydney's dad! the berzattos! their fucking mom! the way the cameos didnt feel cheap and show off-y but, again, intentional! these big stars playing as renowned chefs and important relatives so just like the characters we can go "oh shit that's...!"
and with the strike still going, i think it needs reminding (for me and for other fans who may have forgotten amidst all the buzz & excitement) that the writers were underpaid during the making of this. so make sure we can show them all the love and praises they deserve! to keep on watching and supporting and discussing and fighting (lovingly)! put pressure on these companies to agree to the writers' terms! let em know we want more! bc they did amazing work here! writers of the bear!!! MWAH!!!!!!

Why havent you bloecked that randy guy?
GUYS- he blocked me instead lmao
Now to address me bullying this guy away from my friends
This type of behavior is unfortunately common but if we bring light to it and make it know to others it’ll get them out in the light where their awful behavior and be seen in large numbers And also tumblr is not the most reliable when it comes to blocking people I have had blocked people before and they have continue to interact with my account. I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS BEHAVIOR WHATS SOEVER
And this isnt the first time he’s done this
-he claims to be a goosworx fan but is transphobic and a genuinely hateful individual
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-he also accused Lilith of being a pedo despite her being a minor (17)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Randy has constantly started “roleplaying when confronted or to get pity” despite everyone’s discomfort
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Modes rules)
Tumblr media
-he claims to be “14” years old but by the way he talks and his grammar I suspect him to be younger but regardless they teach you not to cyber bully in school (even if you hasn’t been to school people have given him multiple chances to stop and just back off) also his immature behavior and comments /sexualizing comments
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-calling people “sluts” (me include but that’s when I entered the argument) and obviously no remorse for what he did what’s so ever
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-this isnt the only time he’s been an ass
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-THEN SAYS HE HAS BEEN LYING THE WHOLE??! Which will never be an excuse for his tomfoolery!
Tumblr media
This post is made to spread awareness and support the ones who have experienced this before.
People need to be held accountable for their actions and behavior and just ignoring it doesn’t go away either
Bring the harassment to light and with proof then they’ll have more of a social pressure to stop!
Thank too all for your support and advice when it comes to these situations and to the ones affected by this user, I see you and I will let you be heard!
[dia helped a lot with this when collecting screenshots and evidence thanks bro 🫶]
❌DO NOT SEND THREATS OR ATTACK THE USER JUST BLOCK HIM DO NOT RIOT THATS NOT RIGHT❌

Cellbit, Jaiden, and Foolish´s friendship really warms my heart so much. Jaiden and Foolish doing their silly shenanigans and Cellbit enabling all their hijinks. Foolish saying the most absurd things as Jaiden and Cellbit go ´HUH!?´. Cellbit solving mysteries as both of them support him while simultaneously not understanding anything. Its like the triangle mcdonalds meme of tomfoolery

Extended Contract Chapter 1
Fae Prince Sun, Fae Prince Moon, Fae King Eclipse x Witch Reader
(You are a witch that fell for the oldest trick in the book by giving your name to the mischievous Fae princes of the Celestial Court. Such an inconvenience on what was supposed to be a typical office night. You are honestly not having it. They, however, do seem quite happy about having you. You decide to make a deal with the Fae King to regain your freedom. The only thing that is functional in the whole situation is your phone signal in the Fae Kingdom.)
Warnings: kidnapping, suggestive themes, gore and the usual Fae tomfoolery
“May I have your name?“
“Of course, it is Y/N.“
“Your precious contribution is very much appreciated.“
It is not every day that one seals their own fate because of a simple misunderstanding of idioms and literal meanings, but there you were, bound to the realm of the Fae Folk and belonging to the royal twins of the Celestial Court. Mondays were known to be unlucky days, but this was just ridiculous.
You weren't really in the mood for getting abducted, thank you very much.
There were so many assignments and drafts due next week and you feared Vanessa's wrath far more than you feared the dark magic of enamoured Fae.
Furthermore, you had the misfortune of being stuck with those mischievous miscreants in the middle of the witching hour. The law firm building was empty, the cranky doorman had left hours ago and the janitor had the habit of never arriving before six in the morning. You could scream, but that would not do much good. The cameras did not pick up sound and technology could not record the presence of the Fae, so the only thing you would accomplish is create evidence of your own insanity.
“Excuse me, I really must protest.“
You were in the process of trying to escape the grip of the regal solar-themed Fae. He seemed rather amused, since you weren't really successful, but he almost seemed to be playfully encouraging you to keep trying. Prince Sun had always been a very supportive person, even if he was the one causing the problem in the first place.
“Go on, beautiful, nobody is stopping you. I think that every once in a while everybody needs to raise objections and such. It is healthy.“
His lunar twin grinned, red eyes glowing with roguish mirth.
“I wholeheartedly agree with you, brother. We fully encourage sincerity and dialogue.“
You told them that you wanted to make an appeal. They happily informed you that such a thing was not possible and that you officially belonged to them. You were certainly not touched by their infectious enthusiasm. After all, being gifted with a human's True Name was an experience akin to a cat falling into a whole box full of catnip for them.
“You will play with us forever."
“The Celestial Court is a wondrous place.“
“Word games galore.“
“But beware, for danger lurks in each syllable, my love.“
“Blades caress the consonants and glide along the vowels.“
“Running is futile, but at least it is a very healthy activity. It is always important to get some cardio for the day.“
By all logic, you should be feeling some form of despair and terror, but you were mostly suffering from a horrible case of injured pride. You had fallen for the oldest trick since the dawn of magic. You were an absolute idiot. True, you were running on two cups of coffee, you had not slept properly in a week and your blood sugar levels were more tragic than Shakespeare's “Hamlet“. In your defense, working for William Afton, attorney at law, was no walk in the bloody park. Especially when you had Vanessa as your immediate taskmaster.
You had grown tired of struggling, giving yourself a few moments of respite. Prince Sun was holding you bridal style, his blue gaze soft, showing a type of adoration one would give to a hidden treasure, a joy one experiences when holding a droplet of water in a desert.
Prince Moon had a personality that was diametrically opposite to that of his brother. Hunger reigned in his eyes. Your essence was intoxicating, calling for him, enticing him. You dared not even imagine what his claws could do to you, nor what he could accomplish with his razor-sharp teeth.
Rowan charms could no longer save you, nor could silver. Leaves of holly had no more power, either. You couldn't bribe the royal twins with cream either, since apparently you were the new dessert in the grand scheme of things.
Moon reached out with his claws, searching for your delicate hand. He traced his claw along the sensitive flesh of your inner wrist with all the fervour and ardour of a lover, inspecting the soft skin. Upon giving your name to them, two different markings had manifested on each inner wrist respectively. A crescent moon on the right one and the mark of the sun on the left one.
“Gentlemen, there has obviously been a bit of a miscommunication.“
“Yes, those tend to be very practical in our line of work.“
“I don't have time for this, do you have any idea how many assignments I have due next week?“
“Actually, we do. I must voice our disapproval of you overworking yourself in general. Following orders of such unworthy scoundrels.“
“Well, I am not really in the mood for changing one group of masters for another. I wish to be taken to the Fae King.“
“You will meet him later anyway, he is a bit busy now.“
“No, no, not in that way. I wish to make my complaint.“
“Haven't we closed that topic already?“
“I demand my freedom back. You two said that King Eclipse could grant it to me if I convince him to. Although, I see now that this statement does not exclude you two being capable of the same thing and most likely you are just using the wording to trick me to stop asking you.“
“Can you blame us?“
“Yes. I blame you. And I judge you.“
In spite of it all, you had to admit the celestial princes were quite handsome and their appearance would normally be breathtaking, if you weren't meeting them under such circumstances.
In a resting position, their large wings almost appeared like regal capes. Complementary colours reigned in their respective palettes. Deep royal blues of Prince Moon's wings were speckled with tiny stars, while the rich golden hues of Prince Sun's had swirls of blue interwoven in their texture. In a way, the twins were perfectly symmetrical when it came to the design of their wings. Their attire was similar to that of jesters, but far more elaborate and indicative of their status. Silk and velvet were present, bejeweled buttons, finely tailored doublets.
Both of them were eager, lovestruck and needy. To a degree you almost felt like a lamp attracting a pair of silly mothlings. Which was fitting, considering they too had wings and all.
As Moon was still caressing you along your inner forearm, Sun could not resist nuzzling your hair. You could have sworn that you heard both of them purr. A part of you wondered how on earth did such a scene appear on the cameras, were you simply just floating around and talking to yourself? You internally apologized in advance to any poor security worker that would have to go through the recordings later.
Sun's voice brought you back from your silly reveries, his cheek resting on your head.
“As soft as silk.“
You had been somewhat aware that a pair of Fae had been hunting you for the past several weeks, but it was impossible to decipher their identity. Their glamour and shielding spells had been extremely powerful, their cunning unparalleled and their tricks endless. In many ways, they had been testing you, the purity of your heart and the strength of your soul. They would come to you, disguised either as lost little animals in need of help, or as injured humans in need of assistance. You would always help, no questions asked and always ignoring the warning tingle of enemy magic. Your mind had completely warped to the logic of the normal world and you no longer asked yourself the questions a witch would.
You did not suspect the odd new coworkers that had appeared out of nowhere either, nor did you seem to wonder where they had come from. You had simply accepted that you probably just never noticed them before and that they had always been there. A few pleasantries here, a few kind words there, and that had been all. Of course, all up till tonight when the name trick finally came to rip the veil of denial off.
You huffed, unphased by Sun's compliments regarding your hair.
“Were you the one that has been making those silly fairy-locks I kept waking up with? Those are impossible to untangle!“
“Technically you are not supposed to do that, elsewise you bring misfortune upon yourself. The poor keyboard on your laptop suffered a premature death because of that.“
“I really liked that laptop.“
“I know.“
“It was brand new.“
“May it rest in peace.“
You looked over at the little digital clock on a nearby desk. The witching hour was almost over and the power of the Fae would slightly weaken after four in the morning. If you somehow escaped them, maybe you could distract them enough till the desired hour strikes. Your magical weapons may at least have a fair chance afterwards.
You gasped as Moon leaned closer to you, his hand caressing your cheek, sliding down to your neck, distracting you with pleasurable sensations and making your spine tingle.
“What is going on in that pretty little head of yours, wishing star?“
“Nothing much, honestly.“
Both of them spread their giant wings, showing all of their glory, then draped them over you in what one may interpret as a soothing and protective gesture, but given the circumstances, it was also a demonstration of entrapment.
Impish jesters, forever grinning, forever teasing.
It was one thing to be bound and made to serve an ordinary fairy. It was a completely different thing to be serving the royal twins of the Celestial Court. They were dangerous, powerful, their stature surpassed even the tallest of humans, their urges were never satisfied and their desires never at rest. Not to mention that they were the most competent tricksters of the Fae kingdom.
Fairies were incapable of lying. Therefore, they had to resort to literal meanings and multiple interpretations, distortions, tricks. You could imply one thing that was perfectly accepted and understood in human society, but they would purposefully give it an obscure meaning that was still not a falsehood.
Your predicament was ironic in many ways. Embarassing even. To be precise, you came from a long line of magical practitioners that had been known over the centuries as the Cunning Folk. Various terms existed for such people, but in the modern times the closest definition would be light witches. It was an adequate name that differentiated them from warlocks or dark witches.
You, dear Y/N, had done your best in life to keep the madness of magic at bay. Yes, you knew how to ward yourself from curious spirits, you always had your trusted rolled up newspaper at the ready to hit the local boogeyman on the head when he was living rent-free under your bed, and pretty much every imp on the block knew to avoid you if they wanted to keep all their limbs attached.
Fae Folk, however, were a different story. Long ago, it had been a custom for the Fae to connect to members of the Cunning Folk in order to form a soul bond. A familiar and their witch, in a way. It had always been a connection stronger than any spell and a love more intense than any passionate marriage.
All of that had changed when the realm of the Fae had been afflicted by a darkness far more potent than any light spell could heal. The Hopes and Dreams of children had become scarce and all that was once joyful and innocent had become corrupted and ruined. The Fae King had become cruel and wicked, his once cheerful and loving demeanour had transformed into that of a deranged villain. He did have an odd shift of behaviour on certain birthdays, though, and this would usually take everyone aback for a solid twenty-four hours.
In light of all that, the Cunning Folk had gone into hiding and refused any new bonds with the Fae. This was unacceptable, since the Fae had depended immensely on the sweet nectar that human souls could provide, especially when that soul happened to be a magical one. Consequently, over the centuries the Fae had to resort to various tricks, from luring humans into their fairy circles, kidnapping them and taking them to their kingdom, tricking them with various word games and always having them fall in traps when they least expected it. Certain Fae were less malevolent and were simply in dire need and want of being parents to a child, so they would take human babies to raise them as their own, leaving changelings in their place.
And despite all your efforts, you still managed to become a captive. Go figure.
Prince Sun, ruler of the waking dreams, bringer of hope, and Prince Moon, protector of sleeping children and vanquisher of nightmares. All of those titles did sound pretty cute, but both of them were still impish fiends that loved to play pranks on adults. Oh, well, your time was running out, so you had to think of something fast. Or at least try to reach the little dagger with Runes that you had all nicely hidden and tucked away in a secret pocket of your trousers. You never knew when you would need to stab something supernatural. Or open an envelope.
You concocted a little plan and hoped for the best.
Trickery was not limited to the Fae and you lowkey felt proud of your cunning ways as you pulled Moon into a deep kiss, much to his initial shock. He began to eagerly reciprocate, the sweet haze of lust conspiring against him, your softness and loveliness engulfing his mind. Desire was a natural solvent to rational thought and you had no problems with using that against him. Sun, on the other hand, was both shocked, and slightly jealous, but he did know that something was off.
His suspicions were only confirmed when, in the span of several seconds, you pulled out a silver dagger with enough Runic carvings to obliterate a whole magical army, casually stabbed Moon's heart as if the very gesture was the most normal thing in the world, used Sun's surprise to wriggle out of his grasp and you ran away down the corridors like a feral kitten. Well, at least you were productive.
As you ran, your phone began to ring, conveniently giving up your location in the process, but oh well. It was Vanny, so of course you had to pick up.
“Y/N, where is that briefing paper that you were supposed to email me literally yesterday?“
“I'm in a bit of a situation, Vanessa.“
“What is it now?“
“Well, apparently I am getting married.“
“Congratulations, I still want that briefing.“
“I will call you back, alright?“
Meanwhile, Prince Moon was having a bit of an existential crisis. He stood there, shocked, dagger protruding from his heart.
Oh, yes, it hurt. It burned, stinged, all of the unpleasant things that one may imagine. However, it was nothing compared to how it could have been. The newly forged bond made him immune to most of your deadly spells and Runes, so at worst he would feel temporary pain and then it would cease.
In a way, his desire and respect for you only increased. A Fae always respected good examples of trickery.
Sun could not stop himself from wheezing, very much entertained with the situation.
“You really walked into that one, Moon.“
“Shut up.“
He would still make you pay for that little insult, nonetheless. The corridors had morphed into the same scenery over and over, the windows were suddenly sealed shut, the nearby doors leading to a dead end or into a void of eternal nothingness. You could no longer trust your senses, for mad whispers kept disrupting reality. Only a few more minutes, you hoped for only a few more minutes till the witching hour ends.
You were honestly an idiot for trusting your own luck.
Moon's voice echoed throughout the corridors, ominous and demonic. A bit spicy, as well.
“You should have saved that fire for the wedding night, wishing star.“
“Goodness gracious.“
It became rather obvious that Vanessa would not be getting that briefing paper anytime soon, nor would our good old William Afton be getting his early morning coffee next week, either. Or any week, for that matter. It was a tragedy beyond description, may he rest in pieces.
You had to stop to catch your breath, panting, perfectly aware of the fact that you were mostly screwed. Well, a part of your mind tried to add some rational remarks and told you that living with the Fae couldn't be that bad and at least you would hopefully be getting some really cute royal garments or something. When in doubt, at least material things never disappointed you.
Ghostly hands rose from the ground, grasping at your ankles, your calves, your thighs. You fell forwards unceremoniously and you would have experienced quite a hit to the ground had the hands not grasped you, shielding you from the hard floor.
“What a perfect way to spend my night, being manhandled seventy percent of the time.“
Wrestling them was useless, but at least there was more dignity in that than just doing nothing and thinking about the meaning of life till your captors arrived.
Prince Sun appeared first, somewhat sympathetic, but also visibly tired from all the shenanigans. He let you have your little moment of heroism, though.
“Take your time, darling one.“
“Oh, sod off.“
Prince Moon arrived soon after, eyes glowing a dangerous shade of crimson, the dagger still embedded in his chest. He pulled the blade out, his gaze following the path of the rivulets of blood, almost enchanted by the pattern they were making as they glided along the expertly made Runic symbols.
“Love the craftsmanship on this one. It would have been a poetic death. Stricken by a wishing star, tearing my heart asunder, red pearls the only gifts I have to offer.“
Sun went over to you, partially teasing, partially serious.
“Someone is a bit violent. Are you alright, darling one? Do you wish to talk about some unresolved issues?“
“You two are literally stealing me away.“
“It's not that bad. We shall be loving and caring consorts to you. After all, our bond is basically an engagement.“
“This is the shoddiest proposal ever. How is this even supposed to work, each of you gets their own day of the week?“
“We'll share equally.“
“Excuse me, I am not a meal.“
“Really? You do seem rather delicious.“
“This isn't fair. Do you have any idea how homesick humans can get in the realm of the Fae?“
“We have many spells designed to bedazzle the mind and encourage you to forget the mortal world. And everyone is nice in their own way once you get to know them.“
“You two had no other member of the Cunning Folk to bother and you just had to stumble upon me?“
The dark spell was lifted and you found yourself free. Well, not for long, since the twins were at your side once more. Sun kissed your hand like a true gentleman, his wings making the faintest flutter of joy.
“We searched for a heart of gold and dreams of hope.“
“And you decided to look in a law firm?“
“Bright light contrasts best against a shadowy background.“
“Can I see the terms and conditions of my service?“
“Oh? Good idea! You can read all of that on our way to the palace! It will be so much fun to explain it to you. Of course, the letters are inverted, so you will need a mirror just to read it.“
He conjured a seemingly reasonable rolled-up piece of paper, before letting it unfold. It reached the ground in a comical fashion and kept on going till the end of the corridor.
“Sun, that list is longer than the border of Ancient Rome.“
“Indeed! I had it shortened to make it easier for you.“
“Dear god.“
“I also must say that I wrote it myself. I do my fair share of corporate business and contracts with humans are my specialty, but I do prefer to engage in theater. I may have given a certain playwright a few tips on writing his special little Midsummer work.“
“Old Will? For real?“
“Wonderful chap to have a pint with at the pub. I am certain he would have had an aneurysm had he lived to see what his reputation had become nowadays. A cheerful knave being the main topic for school and homework? Scandalous. He was a most charming actor and a talented wizard of words. Had many a verbal battle with him, and I never managed to snag his soul. I fully respect him for that.“
“Good to know. Regardless, I still wish to talk to your brother about this whole affair. It is my right, considering the fact that I am not a normal human and I do have certain perks. I am certain that King Eclipse will have more respect for old customs than you two.“
Sun and Moon gave each other a look, before giggling at you, as if charmed by how silly your request was.
“King Eclipse? Darling one, do beware.“
“The knave stole the moonlight fair.“
“Neither fools nor traitors breathe for long in his lair.“
“Be our guest, challenge him, if you dare.“
You raised an eyebrow at their improvised little poetic endeavour, tilting your head, curious.
“Did you two just come up with that?“
“Well, we did think of incorporating a iambic pentameter somewhere in there, but we simply decided to free verse it.“
Needless to say that the whole charade continued even after they had conjured a portal to their world, taking you with them. You were playing a dangerous game, but realistically you had nothing to lose. Well, except your dignity and maybe your life, but nothing lasts forever anyway, so might as well.
Your case was one type of extreme. On the other end of the city, two members of the Fae species were in the process of “adopting“ a few bundles of joy. The bear Fae and the wolf Fae were aware that two children were very unhappy in their orphanage and oftentimes they would hear the little girl, Cassie, vocalize her wish to be taken away by magical creatures. The boy, Gregory, had nothing against any of that, as long as there was proper acommodation involved. He hated the hard old bed he had in the orphanage and the food was positively awful.
Of course, there had to be an equivalent exchange, so the two Fae had to bring some friends along. One of them was not too thrilled.
“Why are we doing this? I don't want to stay in the human world.“
“You only need to stay till the next full Moon, Bonnie, and then you will be free of the obligation. Monty will keep you company.“
“Monty is insane.“
“Don't be rude.“
“He pushed me off the stairs, Roxy.“
“Happens.“
Montgomery was far too busy exploring the wonders of a music player to really care where he was, honestly. A few broken orphanage windows and one angry half-blind nun later, the wolf Fae and the bear Fae had become proud new adoptive parents. Bonnie and Monty would have to serve as changeling replacements for a bit, but that is what happens when you lose fairy chess. You owe favours.
By the time Roxy and Freddy had returned home, Gregory had partially woken up, while Cassie was all snuggled in the soft pillows of her new bed. They boy looked around his new house, nonchalant and trying to read what was happening from the clues given.
“Have I been kidnapped?“
“Some may call it that.“
“By fairies? Like, a changeling type of situation?“
“Yes, but I assure you we are using all of the safety protocols that are necessary.“
“Well, I'll be damned.“
“We do wish to make the best effort and become your new family, Gregory. For you and Cassie.“
“Is that food over there? Cupcakes?“
“Oh, indeed, with buttercream and cherries.“
Gregory observed the treats for a good few moments, thought a bit, weighed all his options and of course made the best possible decision for himself in that type of situation. Fairy food was usually a forbidden thing, but he was already stolen anyway.
“I am a simple lad, I see free food and I cannot complain.“

I’ve spoken about this in my blog a bit more but personally I’ve never seen so far a blog post regarding Charles mental strength
The insane pre-silly season silly shenanigans (LH replacing CS for 2025, how his contract renewal was leaked, etc.), the fact he’s the longest and 2nd youngest in scuderia ferrari, how the team changed so much when he’s in it, given a more leadership role, even his involvement outside of F1 (like dropping an album)— they’re all like super fucking added pressure on him BEFORE the first ever GP
Now adding the media clownery, and s*inz camp tomfoolery, technical issues, and just focusing on how to still be able to bring points for the team, even if he wasn’t able to win this GP because of the technical issue just insane mental strength
It was also interesting to hear that he could’ve easily gotten the P2 (for himself). And that his teammate was rightfully P3 material.
Add to that being a public figure, and his fans getting out of control, with people literally invading his space and even during an interview!!
Add to that like the pressure of driving for ferrari, for the tifosi, for people who believed in him, for his family, for his friends…Charles always drives for other people. But because him being competitive is first by nature.
Hopefully he has a support system behind the scenes to help him manage because just empathizing with him because I feel he’s also close to snapping at some point 🥲
(This is @monacodarling btw! Love your takes and also @tsarinablogs takes)
his mental strength needs to be studied. he also most likely has a very strong support group - his closest friends are his childhood friends from monaco and he keeps his personal team tight (joris, antoine, mia, andrea). so it definitely helps him.
but it was also said that charles is really hard on himself, fred mentioned that during his sauber year he always had tendency to blame himself for whenever a race went wrong which is a great trait for taking accountabilty for his mistakes (unlike others) but also did not help him because he spent too much time blaming himself for bad races to the point fred had to talk to him everytime to not be so hard on himself.
and with charles' mentality of "i'm only satisfied if i win and am the first", it can be a lot. but i'm sure he knows how to work through it, the way he picked himself up in the second half of the 2023 season was unbelievable. he had a good race, then something bad happened, then a good race again. he could not predict what would happen next. and yet he still remained focused.
he's a gem of a driver and i hope we see him have more happy moments in the future!

Thoughts on Alex being wrong and loving it
Red White and Royal Blue (2023 movie)
Remember the little quip Henry makes about admiring Alex's willingness to admit when he's wrong? It's such a great moment of foreshadowing, especially since Henry has no idea just how right he is.
Alex prizes himself on being someone who is skilled at reading people, at seeing the person beneath the surface, but he's never come across anyone quite like Henry before.
Alex must be used to people hiding who they truly are - he's been steeped in American politics for years - but he probably isn't expecting anyone from such a legacy of historic power and entitlement to be, at their core, an actual cinnamon roll.
Their initial meeting also comes at a time in Henry's life when any chink in his armour reveals only pain and anger, leading Alex to assume that what lies behind the carefully controlled façade isn't pleasant.
This assumption is only reinforced by further antagonistic interactions, fuelled by Henry's attempts to balance civility while protecting his heart as Alex consistently pulls Henry's metaphorical pigtails.
The fallout from cakegate forces them into extended periods of proximity and we see Alex start to glimpse pieces of the real Henry beneath his bland public persona. Each further piece that's revealed surprises and delights Alex and it's a joy to watch Taylor Zakhar Perez bring those moments to life.
Allow me to ramble about some of these:
1. Alex's pause of panic followed by surprised relief as Henry suavely responds to the interview question, "How did you end up on the floor of Buckingham Palace, covered in cake?" Alex's relief is two fold: he was floundering with no idea what to say (shouldn't have rebuffed Henry's request to prepare for this interview, Alex...) and Henry's answer is not at all what Alex was expecting. Henry could easily have attributed the event to clumsiness or tomfoolery on Alex's part - even just by subtle implication. That wouldn't have been out of line with some of Alex's answers (e.g., "Three words to describe Henry? Um... White, blond and British.") but Henry chooses a more protective route, deflecting attention from Alex, which comes as a pleasant surprise. [Of course he can't show this, so instead retaliates with something as annoying as possible. Cue side eye from Henry.]
2. Alex's big-eyed expression of sympathy as Henry tells him the Palace insisted on parading him around while he was grieving for his father. It's the key moment Alex realises he's built a lot of assumptions on a misunderstanding and has probably treated Henry rather unfairly.
3. Alex frowning at Henry talking and laughing with the little girl in the hospital bed. He's seeing Henry through a new lens and realises this picture doesn’t fit with a lot of his previous assumptions.
4. Alex shaking his head at Henry's joking attempt to decline an invite to his NYE party that most people would kill to get. "That's perfect, you kill me and then I won't have to go." It's the first time Henry uses his sharp wit to share a joke with Alex, rather than directing it at him in a fit of pique. It's an olive branch and I don't think Alex was expecting such easy forgiveness.
5. The sublime series of text based interactions where Alex is surprised and charmed by Henry flirting (under the guise of gentle ridicule).
6. The iconic "I can't believe how wrong I was about you," while he and Henry are as close as two people can get.
7. My all time favourite: Alex's reaction to Henry pointing out the yellow roses on his tie. Henry employs this in a sweet distraction during a moment of all encompassing anxiety for Alex. It's enough to bring Alex out of his fog, to realise how much strength he draws just from Henry being there to support him. The way Taylor says "Oh my god. I'm so grateful you are here," is perfection.
I'm a gooey mess thinking about all the future moments where Alex is surprised and overwhelmed by Henry's kindess.
[Sobs]
On a related note @mulderscully has a great post titled: Alex's headshake of Love™, which captures several of these moments, and more, in perfect gif form.

gossip ! daniel r. x ofc (måneskin member!ofc)
“ sip the gossip, drink ‘til you choke ”
summary: everyone thinks that lorelei hester ‘lester’ alessandro's character isn’t good for an image of an f1 driver. all because she's more confident in her own body and her trusting relationship with danny ricciardo. she fights her own battles while her boyfriend acts as her moral support idiot. OR lester shows a way to handle the hatred shown to her while danny cheers her up with his typical off-track tomfoolery.
content warning: slutshaming (it's 2023 guys, know better), a whole lot of original characters' interaction w/ other ocs, shitty grammar, brief fandom crossovers (through original characters), explicit language, allusion to smut, supportive and slightly unhinged!danny ric, danny who doesn't like getting called a friend by his own girlfriend, one criminal minds reference, and two haters but let’s multiply them into 100 because I don’t have enough space for new accounts at my app :(
note: i also got some toto wolff content hidden too lol but the characters in that one are connected in some ways. lester is also connected to the characters in my toto series but uh... yeah! enjoy! let me know what you think!

my mutuals, followers, fellow critters, too long has this fandom suffered under the tyranny of Essek Thelyss' monopoly on hotness. too long have we languished under unsexy metaphorical chokehold he has on this fandom, which is very different than the sexy literal chokehold a certain candidate had on Vax. yes, critters, it is time to raise up your voices and say no more to mainstream candidates that only uphold the status quo and throw your support behind a candidate who is an outsider to Exandrian Sexiness because he isn't even from this plane.
today, I urge you to vote for Artagan in the Critical Role Sexyman poll. the opposition will tell you Artagan does not have the experience to be the Critical Role Sexyman, and sure, he might not have your typical Sexyman qualities. he is not a sad war criminal nor does he engage in dubious science, but my friends, I ask you what is sexier than whimsy? than tomfoolery? than starting multiple cults through your fairy bastard shenanigans and getting bored of the responsibility? tell me, critters would you rather vote for a man with long luscious ginger curls that cover most of his body and fuzzy eyebrows that look like worms on a string or a man who cannot even grow a mustache?
so please, vote for Artagan and say no more to the Standard Hot Boi. when they ask "what is sexier than wizards?" and I hope that you all with your resounding voices answer "archfey!"

Good afternoon. I hope that you can assist me with a family matter.
I come from a very long line of mischief-makers, extending back for well over twelve generations. And my children all took after the family trade, as did all—well, almost all—of my grandchildren, and while my gaggle of great-grandchildren are too young to be working, they seem to have the knack for it as well.
You may have noted that I said almost all of my grandchildren. This is because of my youngest grandchild. They went to uni, had a strange and unnerving group of friends, got varied grades, graduated, and became… are… decided to become—my youngest grandchild is, you see, well, they’re a… they’re an accountant. A white button-down shirt pressed slacks accounting accountant!
As I’m sure you can imagine, the whole family was a bit shocked. We’re not all strictly mischief-makers; I’m a shenaniganerist myself! Still, none of us have ever strayed that far from the family business.
In retrospect, we really should have anticipated this—they were always a bit less inclined towards tomfoolery than their siblings and cousins. And they are overjoyed with their job, always chattering on about numbers and graphs. Besides, perhaps becoming an accountant when you come from a family that prides itself on chaos is chaotic? Either way, I’m trying to be happy to them, and I am confident that with time, I will be able to succeed.
However, I’m not quite sure what to talk about with them. They’ve always been a bit more distant than my other grandkids, likely because of their interest in… other topics, and this job has just exacerbated that. With the exception of a few reclusive ghosts, I’m the oldest person in my family. And, as head of the family, I’m the figure who people go to when they need help, whether it’s something small, like illusion homework, or big, like setting up an ongoing scheme that’ll run for decades.
I don’t know how I could help with this new profession. Well, I do, but I have a feeling that anything involving dental floss, temporary hair die, and two pounds of mustard seeds isn’t what they would be looking for. I want to show my grandchild that I am here, for whatever they need, and have it be true. How do I do that when I don’t know the right way to support them?
Oh, reader. This sounds like a very delicate situation, and my heart goes out to you. I can certainly empathise with your surprise at your grandchild's chosen profession. But at the same time, I can see how deeply you love them, and want to show that love in a way that supports and validates their identity.
Your grandchild is likely very aware of how different they are from the rest of the family. It's a very good sign that they've felt comfortable enough to share this part of their life with you all, and that they feel able to talk to you about the things they enjoy about it.
I understand that it's important to you to be someone your family can turn to for help and practical support. But that's not all you bring to the relationship. You are valuable and precious to your family beyond the role you play as a help-mate and advisor.
Your grandchild doesn't need you to understand the ins and outs of accounting. They don't need you to work out some way of helping them directly in their career, or to come up with a complicated scheme involving their accountancy skills.
This seems like a very good time to step aside, and let your grandchild take the lead. After all, they're the best possible person to know what will make them feel supported.
I recommend taking them out to spend some one-on-one time together. Don't make complicated plans – this is about spending quality time together, and giving them your attention. Let them know how proud you are of them, and how much you want to support them in their endeavours.
If there is anything specific they need from you, all to the good. You will have opened those lines of communication and let them know you're happy to help. But I strongly suspect that all your grandchild will need is to know that you're there for them, and that you love them. That's quite enough to be going on with.
