AYE! You liked pop? pop! by csr? I recently found the song and omg it's so catchy and reminds me of the innocent cute concept I think? Do you have any thoughts on the group's concept? I find it cute that all the girls are the same age like actual high school class! I realized that's not too common in kpop or at least I can't think of any groups that everyone is the same age off the top of my head
yea i did! however i know truly fuck all about the group, so i don't even know what their concept is. i think that's kind of fun as an idea? they're doing age appropriate stuff too so that's good i suppose. to be honest i am not really interested in following them actively bc i only really liked pop pop and not anything else from their eps, and i don't really find them interesting to watch. also i'm too old for a high school concept lol
thinking about wcz seeming the "calmer/less reactive" parent (and he usually is) so wwx typically confided in his dad more... until wwx tells his dad "offhandedly" about his cool new friend in school who's really smart and funny and "perfect-looking, honestly" for over an hour, to which, wcz just "hmm"s and "ahh"s and "i see"s from where he's "tinkering w a talisman" (but has actually ruined the paper with huge blobs of ink).
wwx retires to his room with a, "we're gonna be best friends, i can tell!" and wcz chokes out a, "uh-huh, that's nice, a-ying."
and the moment the door closes, wcz dashes out of the study to where cssr is rush-ironing out their formal robes for the conference tomorrow (like he knew she would even though he'd reminded her about it everyday for the past 2 weeks) and blurts out in a panic, "A-YING IS IN LOVE!"
CSSR: He is? Really? And he told you that??
WCZ: Well, no, not exactly, he claims to wanna be this boy's best friend, but-
CSSR: so why are you freaking out about this? it's just a friend-
WCZ: No, you don't understand, he's your son, he had that look and-
CSSR: Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!
WCZ: He talked about the boy's 'perfect hair' for 15 mins and every other way he's perfect for the rest of the hour.
CSSR: Oh. Huh. He is my son then. Who's the boy? Did he say? Maybe we can look him up!
WCZ: No, he didn't, but that's not the point! A-Ying, our baby!!! Is in love!!!?!?!!
CSR: And?
WCZ: And!! He'll want to marry the boy!!! And move out!!! And never wanna see us again!!!! 馃槶
CSSR: Hold your horses there, buddy. If they do get married, which I imagine isn't going to be any time soon, I will demand visits, especially with the grandchildren-
WCZ: Grandchildren!?!??!?! Nooo, not my baby!!! He's still too young for such things!
CSSR: Our boy is almost 20, baba.
WCZ: Yes, but he's our boy 馃ズ
CSSR: And he always will be, but remember, we weren't that much older when we made him-
WCZ: Cangse...!
CSSR: -and anyway, if you're feeling the empty nest now, we could always make another... 馃槝
WCZ: 馃槼 A-ahem. You should, uh. You'll burn our robes again.
Much Later in the Wei Household
CSSR pats WCZ's hand where it lay on her bare stomach. "There, another one cooking."
WCZ snorts. "Your period starts in two days, love, I highly doubt it."
"Spoilsport." CSSR blows a raspberry at him, then sighs with a smug smile. "Wait 'til I tell Qiren about this! We may not be Lans, but we Weis do fall pretty hard, you know." She boops his nose.

Brands that user georgegraphys think would fit George (as team sponsor/individual BA jobs)
1. Samsung (Technology & Electronics)
I know George used Iphones but imo, Samsung would be a good fit to sponsor the team because a) their brand image definitely fit Mercedes & George a lot (bold, broad innovations, and of course, their main colours (Black, White, Blue) fits Mercedes official colour a lot or it doesn't clash against other colours, colour synchro is important too) + their CSR aligns a lot with Mercedes' as they focus a lot on energy efficient, sustainable, and renewable products
2. Cartier (Jewelry)
It is unlikely for Cartier to be a team sponsor, so i'd like to think of George doing a campaign for their collections. Was actually thorn between BVLGARI and Cartier (but then I thought BVLGARI would fit Lewis better, giving me maximalism vibes) whereas George imo, will look better with the simplicity that Cartier jewelry offers (i could honestly imagine Carmen & George doing this join Cartier campaign)
3. Brunello Cucinelli (Fashion)
This is highly unlikely as Mercedes and George are tied with Tommy Hilfiger (even if it happens, it would be an individual collab w/ George) but a collaboration with Brunello Cucinelli would blow people's minds. George actually wore plenty of Brunello Cucinelli clothes (one of them being the sweater he wore in Austria this year). Brunello Cucinelli emits the old money modest elegance, minimalism, and classic that would fit George a lot (as it seems like his fashion style is the opposite of Lewis' maximalism and stand out-ish)
plus, George is friends with THE Brunello Cucinelli's daughter alr on instagram 馃槣
4. L'Oreal (Cosmetics & Personal Care)
I might sound like i'm drunk but HAVE YOU SEEN GEORGE'S HAIR?! L'Oreal can easily make him their model if they become a team sponsor or collaborate with him on a personal campaign. It's a perfect objective for L'Oreal. That's if we're talking about the haircare part, but the skincare? George could too. His skin is *chef's kiss* perfect for a L'Oreal CF shoot on a beach
5. Hennessy (Alcoholic Beverages)
Haven't looked up the F1 policy on this since they seem to be sponsored by Heineken and idk if another alcoholic beverages brand is allowed to sponsor a team. But hey... FUCK THE ENERGY DRINKS WE ROLL WITH THE ALCOHOLS. George's fancy commercial with Hennessy, while drinking a cognac? I'll take it. Plus points for Hennessy is that sophisticated beautiful product design they had (the bottle designs) and the logo 馃ス馃ス (i'm a sucker for logos okay)
Other optional replacements:
Ritz Carlton/Marriott Bonvoy > Intercontinental Hotel Group
It's British and had the same vibes and elegance of an expensive hotel just like Marriott Group & Ritz Carlton (I prefer Ritz Carlton over all) but yeah could be switchable. We can still see George doing silly Marriot Bonvoy-like CF
IWC Schaffhausen > Tissot Watches
There won't be a really huge change between Schaffhausen to Tissot as both of them are similarly classic Mercedes vibes.
Police Eyewear > Michael Kors
I just prefer MK's design over Police even though Police ones that George wears are good. Plus point for MK is that they're more well known (opinionated statement)
Monster Energy > None (?)
I don't think an energy drink company sponsor is really needed in George's Mercedes.
Possibly other brand types that i'm interested in for Mercedes to partner with : Airlines (Lufthansa/Etihad Airways) or Luxury Goods manufacturer (Montblanc/Fortnum & Masons/Harrods)
Other than these brands : i personally think Van Cleef & Arpels, Guiness, Bottega Venetta, L'Occitane, and Salvatore Ferragamo to be a great contender in being a good brand for George. But if we're talking about British stereotypes, Lipton should sponsor him LMFAOOO
Conclusion is George doesn't lack brands that fits his image branding and personality. Haters should not worry about who'll sponsor Mercedes/George. There are lots of brands that fit George's Mercedes and George Russell himself, maybe you should broaden your brand knowledge 馃き馃槤鈽猴笍
If nico snd toto take the pups on holiday by car they have mousy just conking out within w seconds while holding 3 stuffies to his chest somehow and Seb growling grumpily cos he hates sitting still but Nico bribes him with snacks and plays car games with him lol
(Or maybe mousy hates the csr seats cos being strapped in reminds pinky of the cage he was in and he is so panicked and betrayed the firdt few times!)
