Max: "I always thought that if I would make it to F1, Charles would also make it. You can see already from a very young age the really strong drivers. It's never been a surprise to me that Charles is sitting here. [...] It's not a surprise that we are sitting here together, I think.
Charles: "When you are young and in karting, F1 feels so far away. We knew that we were very fast because we were already competitive in karting. Whenever we changed categories, we would always be competitive. It's amazing. I have really, really good memories - [laughs] although memories that were less good became really good with time. Then you get older, and you look back at moments that maybe you didn't enjoy at the time - that are very funny. It was good times."

Don't mind me, just thinking about how Gwyn refuses to wear the invoking stone on her head because she doesn't regard herself as worthy of it. And then, after months of bravery and training when she completes the Valkyrie test, she ties the white ribbon around her head - where the invoking stone would be - because she finally sees herself as worthy of something.
Look me right in the profile picture icon, and tell me this is not a face of a man who just saw pure love, and something in him snapped, whispered 'I want that', furthering the change in him, while also creating an entirely new kind of yearning
Thinking about Stede and the petrified orange treasure he's so proud of finding.
Thinking about Stede being awakened by Chauncey and marched into the woods, in only his nightshirt (it must have a pocket).
Thinking about Stede even having the orange to show off to his family later.
Conclusion: Stede Bonnet sleeps with the orange. The orange is his woobie. He takes it everywhere. Sometimes he takes it out to look at it. Sometimes he just reaches into his pocket to pet the orange. Every time, I die a little.
