I love how my dash can have a post about hating Nico so bad, and the next crying over the brocedes interview we just had. It's beautiful, the man has been gone for years but the hate against him is so strong

#nico rosberg #my blorbo #my beloved

[gokartkid]

Please never apologize for Nico posting <3

thanks for defending my honour it was a sudden weakness of the brain (the horrors of publicly enjoying anything)

#hes my little guy :) blorbo rosberg #nico posting on the brocedes blog… wow…. crazy…..

[britneyinthewall]

Brocedes reconciliation fic but instead of Nico being the one to start it it’s Lewis. Lewis who finally realised that he no longer hates Nico, that he mentally ready to begin their relationship with him again, that he can both forgive Nico and understand the role he played in breaking them apart, that after all these years of ignoring Nico he has started to miss what he once had with him. Lewis who is now trying to prove to Nico that he’s ready to be with him again, that all the times Nico tried to get them to connect again wasn’t in vain and that Lewis genuinely wants to be with him again. Lewis starts to mention Nico again in interviews, looks for him the hallways of the building they both live in, to say hi when they cross each others paths in the paddock. Lewis works to get Nico back like Nico has tried for so many years, and together the both of them work equally to fix their relationship

#late night shitposting #I miss them #no because why aren’t there more fics like this #*rolls up sleeves* imma have to do this myself #Nico my sweet blorbo you deserve better fic representation too #also the amount I see both of them being mischaracterised in fic’s is insane #anyways that’s it time to go watch that one interview of them that’s dubbed over in German where are being so gay it makes me sick #nico rosberg #lewis hamilton

[panevanbuckley]

Wait make it Brocedes, do nico tooo

okay but like i only recently got into the fandom so i know a very limited amount about nico 😭

send me a driver 💫

#also all i've really seen of him are the slightly rude questions he asks some of the drivers 💀 #i'm sure he's great...maybe #f1 #nico rosberg #blorbo bingo #ask game #asks

[blorbocedes]

this is fascinating to me because he was was at the top of the mountain peak, and all he could see was going down... speaks to just how fucked his mental health was in 2016

I was always insanely jealous of top athletes bc imagine knowing you're the best at a certain thing. you'd be filled with purpose. turns out that's not always the case

#blorbo from mercedes.... #nico rosberg

[sebaston]

i think its hilarious how you either hate nico rosberg with a passion (you want to claw him to death) (derogatory) or you love him and thinks hes a princess / mommy / your entitled blorbo who cant let go of the past. or are you a secret third thing

#seeing the two extremes on my dash back to back is soooo funny and intriguing to me #nico rosberg #britney #f1 #f1blr #nico

Just another day of losing it over brocedes... Thinking about their dynamic in terms of winning/losing.

Warning: long ass (900-word) post ahead. Lowkey just over-the-top wailing but I!!! *said like a madman* have connected the dots!!! This is definitely subjective–hopefully not unbearably so because I did reference Actual Lore™ and shit.

In another unnecessarily lengthy post I listed some instances of Lewis and Nico being unbelievably competitive over every little thing, including Lewis stating on two occasions that his favourite and least favourite thing about racing were winning and losing. Therein lies the tragedy of it all...

I was digging around trying to soak up more Lore™ and I came across this Lewis quote:

“I think for me, my whole life has been about winning. I have been racing for 29 years, so I think having that mentality of always knowing you can be better... but I think during this time, realising that winning is not everything. Sometimes, when you lose, you actually win and grow.”

This is great!! It demonstrates how Lewis' mentality has matured. What's there to be sad about? Unfortunately for me (it would've been so nice for my sanity if I didn't make the connection), the phrasing in the first bolded part immediately reminded me of this Nico moment @box-box-blorbos had brought up in the tags of my aforementioned brocedes brainrot rant post:

"The fact it was Lewis I took the title from is extra sweet as well because to me it feels that I've been racing him all my life and all my life he's just edged me out for the titles," added Rosberg.

"I've been racing him all my life" "my whole life as been about winning" I'm going to start fucking crying. Not because of the flimsy connection I just made based on the quotes having a couple of words in common, but because of the brothers-cedes’ difference in mentality.

People always talk about how hung up Nico is about Lewis, which is sometimes overblown, but in this case it's absolutely true that Lewis had an indelible presence in Nico's mind. For a large part of his career, his winning/losing was defined not only by his own performance, but by the success of his friend slash rival slash a lot of other things. The opposite is of course true, but I think Lewis generally was better at dealing with that–taking that coveted title in 2008 and "edging" Nico "out for the titles" later on at Mercedes probably helped. Lewis has had significant championship battles with other drivers, whereas for Nico, Lewis was proclaimed by everyone (including himself) as his One True Rival of sorts. Not "I've been racing to win all my life", but "I've been racing him all my life". Winning wasn't just about getting to the top anymore, it was equally about surpassing Lewis.

Here have a Florence And The Machine line appropriate for the topic at hand:

And everything I ever did Was just another way to scream your name

It was such a terrible way for Nico to look at things. He took the pressure intrinsic to the sport and increased that shit tenfold by developing a devastating mindset which zip-tied together winning/losing and his relationship with Lewis. Really, the deterioration of the worsties' relationship was inevitable.

As a freshly minted Nico Rosberg Apologist™ I of course occasionally bemoan that it seems impossible for people to talk about Nico without bringing up Lewis (yes I'm aware of my hypocrisy here). However, Nico just proves it again and again that Lewis occupies a special place in his heart deranged little brain. Here's another quote from Nico after winning the WDC:

“And I took the World Championship away from him which is a phenomenal feeling.”

Truly, this is a mind-blowing insight into his psyche. Insert screeching and sobbing. Of fucking course he didn't see the WDC as something that started anew each season! Of course he saw it as something belonging to Lewis that he had to earn the right to take away!! Nico Rosberg you were a sick, sick man–not that he isn't now, but he's decidedly less maladjusted (being, as the joke goes, the most therapised man on the planet does wonders for one's mental health).

Of course, Nico's decision to retire was motivated by multiple reasons, and it's disrespectful to say he did it solely because of some twisted desire to deprive Lewis of the chance to get back at him, but it's not a reach to say that having beaten Lewis, to some extent, enabled him to say goodbye so early. Nico has said that he gave up a core piece of his "identity" by deciding not to race anymore. Racing meant trying his damndest to win; winning meant having Lewis Hamilton, the subject of his love and hate right there on the podium with him. Borrowing some of @box-box-blorbos 's tags here, as it was the brilliant words she left under my piece that inspired me to write another one:

#But something something it seems like everything came easy to Lewis but it didn't but that doesn't stop Nico from resenting it #I've loved you my whole life #I've been racing you my whole life #I cannot separate the two

To end it on a less depressing note, at least we can rejoice over the fact that while Nico has gotten over f1 racing he clearly hasn't gotten over Lewis... Taking a step back and adopting a more detached grid role has helped him make the distinction between the Lewis that was his rival–who won and won and won against him why couldn’t he just lose for once–and the Lewis who he once promised to, under Greece's night sky, that one day they would conquer the world grid together. In his heart, Lewis is still his best friend–this was of course a joke, but don't jokes always have an element of truth to them?

[formulatrash]

Not to send you like another unhinged ask (weed anon) but have you ever psychoanalyzed Nico Rosberg anywhere on your blog? He is so weirdly fascinating to me and I’d be curious to hear any insight you might have as somebody who actually worked in the paddock lol. Also thx for answering so many motorsport asks, your blog is a goldmine of interesting stories and Motorsport analysis!

I... don't know if I have. I see Nico around a fair bit because of his connection to Formula E. he's an, uh, interesting guy and I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way.

something about drivers in general is that they have focussed so incredibly hard on their racing careers that they sort of don't know anything else. so in retirement they sort of have the self-discovery period about what else they're interested in that a lot of us have earlier on in life. well, I say that, there's always new blorbos to find of course but at least you probably work out in your early 20s that you're someone who needs a few blorbos to have any semblance of emotional stability.

Nico's been doing that for a few years and with an almost like, striking lack of selfconsciousness about it. after years in the pressure cooker that was working his way up to the top of F1 and then fighting with Lewis for titles, he seems very unbothered in the way he tries new things now. which is nice to see.

I have a weird anecdote about him from the year he was just post-championship. or well, the year he was champion in retirement. I was going to do some work with him on social media and aside from the very odd experience of getting called a nerd by a reigning F1 champion (I mean, I am a nerd, just hit weird) he sort of dared me to say Lewis' name. and I did cus I was like, we are not going to be able to work together if you're like this or if this is a problem but it was this like, spiky adversarial moment and I was just kinda sitting there behind a laptop feeling confused like: what the heck have you got to compete with me about fella?

but that'd been how he'd had to approach everything to win the title, obviously. so I get it. and I think he's different now. I don't know anything really about his politics or what he thinks beyond being interested in green tech these days and of course, the bizarre COVID vaccination situation (which, full judgement fella just get your shots) but I do think he's someone who's motivated by kindness a lot of the time, even if that comes out without having been fully thought through. which, sometimes, can be worse than being mean of course but he's definitely done a lot of genuinely kind things for fans, seemingly very much just because he can and wants to, given there's no PR reason to keep doing it now.

I'm so obsessed with cokeheaded Nico AU. Literally can't stop thinking about it. I love Nico being so emotionally conflicted. Like he loves Lewis but it also hurts so damn much just to look at Lewis. Because that the life he dreamt of. Being a race driver. Making his own name. He has lived under his father's shadow and known as former wdc Keke Rosberg's son. He knows that if he is in relationship with Lewis, he will only be known as Lewis' WAG. And that makes his life feel so worthless. Just someone's accessory.

I LOVE Nico so much but seeing him hurt and vulnerable like this in fic is absolutely my fav hahaha i'm convinced that most of Brocedes fans are addicted to pain anyway.

The point of my message is please write more about this AU. I would love to see Lewis so in love with Nico and Nico just being in his self destruction mode.

Would love to read a scene when Lewis asks something like 'why are you pushing me away?'.

Thanks for this amazing AU. You have no idea how much this help me get through my difficult days

Hi anon!!! I'm also obsessed with cokehead Nico! It started as chat fic inspired by @kritischetheologie's (executive producer of the CNEU) post about jobless, richboy Nico. The thing about cokehead Nico is that he didn't fail to make his own name--he just never tried. I imagine him as a directionless, self-destructive teen who made a conscious decision not to pursue racing (I see this as Nico preemptively destroying his own potential). In any case, he was obviously still attracted to racing and began street racing quite young, and that fulfills him as much as he allows anything to. (Since I started writing cokehead Nico he's almost become more of a partyboy than a street racer, but I don't totally mind.) In the vague future CNEU story where Lewis asks Nico to properly be with him, Nico definitely has the thoughts you described, especially since reentering the racing scene would expose his heritage and the person he decided not to be. In any case, you're right that brocedes fans are addicted to pain!!!!

I'm totally with you on Nico pushing Lewis away, but I wonder whether Lewis would be able to articulate that idea so clearly. You will definitely get more cokehead Nico either way! He is my blorbo of blorbos.
