holy shit that new daniel silverstone vid on redbull's youtube - simon! his old trainer! he's so happy!
when i tell you that LITERALLYYYYY i have never been more mentally unwell about anything in my entire life!! the fact that every single person they get to speak is someone with history!! someone that knows him and loves him and can speak to exactly what it is he brings to the team and the sport in general!! simon talking about how he's gotten older but his demeanor and approach to the sport is just the same as it ever was!! the team manager talking about how he gives great feedback and how the sport NEEDS HIM!!! his old trainer talking about how important the 6 months off was for him in setting him up for future success!! christian saying it felt like he never left!!! and all the details too- his name and number on the garage floor, his number and face plastered everywhere, bantering with simon over the radio, the shots of seb in the garage....it felt like a homecoming in so many ways—and even more so than the return to red bull video earlier in the season, which is fucking saying something!!!—and i TRULYYYY don't see how the actual fuck you make this video without knowledge / belief that daniel WILL be back in that seat sooner rather than later
inspired by this post and @geneticcatalyst’s tags i have an idea for a modern AU where wen kexing cant smalltalk to save his life because of a combination of poor upbringing & trauma brain while zhou zishu just wants to keep everyone at a distance and the way through to him is through the door, not the window wen kexing (guy still takes the window at every opportunity). could be written as a psychological character study or a comedy about human interaction and bad communication. themes: being starved for genuine connection clashing with the desire to be alone
