[chelemlem]

about 500w of a random nothing prequel to this. (814 + r63 + implied infidelity)

The great thing about being young, dumb, and you know, Jenson winks, is that it's socially acceptable to excuse herself from all the schmoozing and shoulder-rubbing to sneak the odd ciggie with the servers. 

Back by the venue kitchens halfway into one of these things is where she finds Oscar: plonked on a wooden crate, phone in hand.

Maybe it's the peachy champagne from before, but Lando's limbs feel loose enough to pitch forward, perching her chin on Oscar's shoulder. Mm. Clean and cheap — some kind of citrus soap. 

"Whatcha hiding out here for?"

Oscar, to her credit, takes it in stride. 

"Not hiding. Just, uh. Quali's on."

Why bother? Obviously Verstappen's taking it. Oscar wrinkles her nose in an ehh gesture, screen angled so Lando can watch too. "Dunno, Red Bull are pretty shit around Marina Bay."

Are they, though? Then again, Oscar still backs Ricciardo out of some vague sense of patriotism, so maybe she's not the best judge of wheel.

"Bet you only fancy him 'cause he seems like he's hung," she says accusingly, and Oscar fucking. Creases in silent laughter. Huh, easy crowd. 

With her mouth open, Lando can see how the top line of her teeth dip low in the middle. A bunny rabbit. 

Ugh, fine. She has nothing better to do, and Oscar seems like a marginally more interesting time than the other models and heiresses inside. A proper little athlete. Might as well.

It turns out to be quite a long time, them sitting here. Like, two missed calls from her brother long. Nothing important. He's just in town on business and wants to do lunch. On the cusp of closing some deal that would make even Jense's eyes water.

"I have three sisters," Oscar offers. They have their backs to opposite walls, legs extended. Lando isn't really tipsy anymore, but she still kind of has this insane urge to close the gap, press her ankle along the exposed square of Oscar's instep. Are those Tommy? Fuck's sake.

"Mm. And you're the oldest?"

Oscar blinks. "Is it obvious?" 

"Bit, yeah."

Seems like a pain, honestly. There's a reason Lando's parents let her get away with everything — because they have Oliver to cushion the fall. Everyone agrees she'll probably land an MRS degree before an MBA. 

Oscar smiles, a tad wry. "Bet they're glad you're still making connections, though."

"Whad'you mean?" Lando says, shuttering. The back of her neck feels warm. Fucking—is she being slut-shamed right now?

Oscar shifts on the floor, looking for the first time: uncomfortable. "Isn't that why you're here?"

Uh. Lando is here because she'd wanted to date a MotoGP rider growing up and Jenson is the next-to-next best thing. Specifically here, in this greasy produce cellar with Webber's little girlfriend, though? Well.

"Fuck if I know, mate." 

Oscar snorts, her shoulders going lax. She starts to say something else when Lando uncrosses her legs, uncomfy from the sweat building behind her knees. The cream satin hitches up, baring a triangle of thigh that draws Oscar's gaze like a condemned moth to flame. Her mouth snaps shut.

Their eyes lock. Only for a second — but it's enough. 

Enough for Lando to pause and consider. And smile. 'Kay then.

Everything after that is a bit of a blur.

guys i think this website is recreating misogyny

#i cant say specifics of what the media is or who the character is but like. if theres a character (who happens to be a woman) who is never #directly shown on-screen. but shes absolutely integral to the plot. and it's all with an extremely serious tone. maybe headcanoning them as #a silly ditzy bimbo wifey who believes in astrology and doesnt know anything about computers and her only interests are animals and plants #and taking care of her husband and cleaning the house and she also only wears bright pink and dyes her hair bright pink...... #maybe. just maybe. thats fuckin awful?!?!? 💀💀💀💀 #IM GOING INSANE HERE. LIKE GOD DAMN I THIUGHT I COULD TRUST TUMBLR USERS ABOUT THIS MEDIA TOO. I WAS SO WRONG. BLOCKED INSTANTLY. #also im not even going to begin to tackle the casual whitegirl racism involved with the interests listed for this character. like idk people #loooove to be vaguely spiritual without respecting a single culture who actually does these practices. 😀. #but im so mad like. i cant even say shit like 'ummm think about this for a sec!!' because the OP clearly put tons of time and effort into #their insanely misogynistic post. multiple drawings lined and full colored. like. they thought about this and thought it was amazing. 😐 #anyway... ive noticed lately that a lot of people think misogyny is a dying bigotry or that its 'not as serious' as other forms of hatred? #but sexism is a very real systemic and individual issue. drawing cismenkissing.png doesnt auto-clear the sexism allegations 🫢 #anis gaymer moments #ok sorry for the long rant im done now i prommy

see someone spreading misinformation about ancient greece online, gently correct them, they say "well discerning whats canon and whats fanon in greek mythology is really difficult". i am killed instantly.

#my brother in christ contemporary texts are free online <3 #sometimes by multiple different translators #trying to correct people who believe that in the '''''original myth'''''' persephone just walked to the underworld of her own accord is hel #fyi i was saying hell on earth and ran out of letters #i was not trying to be quirky and reference a completely separate culture's myths i prommy #if i ever use 'hel' in like a casual context instead of when specifically talking about norse mythology i need to be put down #greek mythology #i speak #reminds me of that post that claimed that gorgon heads were used to mark womens shelters in ancient greece w/ no source #and everyone believed it #as if gorgon heads weren't on basically every building #(being hyperbolic obv but. basically) #like i don't get this modern urge to give power and agency to women in mythology by either #(a) pretending nothing bad ever happened to them and everything was of their own volition (bad. stop it.) #or (b) pretending that they have uniquely bad stuff happen to them and no one else had bad stuff happen to them and its only this lady #so therefore everyone else involved is evil (also bad. also stop it.) #like when one of those modern 'feminist retelling' greek myth stories w/ the same covers about ariadne #it actively adds bad stuff to happen to ariadne when shes a mortal woman in greco roman myth who actually gets a happy ending #like whats the point of that??

i follow a fb page that posts like local bullshit or whatever but someone posted a picture of a venue hosting a band called "i dont know how but you found me" which like, ok, but there are so many people in the comments getting mad bc they didnt see the first comment abt it being a band and have decided that this is actually someone making a sick joke at the expense of the person whose severed leg showed up in a park recently

#morgan.pdf #like do i think that thats a gruesome and terrible thing to have happened? yes obviously. but also yall please just read #like i prommy that thats not actually whats going on its just unfortunate timing for that band to be playing ................. #also. ask to tag i guess??? just in case??? #death cw #to be safe??

my first thought seeing ppl theorizing laios is gonna have 2 die/stay dead at the end of dungeon meshi along w falin was ‘trigger doesnt operate off THAT kinda logic’ even tho triggers just adapting </3

#dungeon meshi spoilers #but srsly if he did just die i feel like that would b kind of a waste lol like i would assume the resolution w him n his party at least #would b like i said.. other ppl proving they do actually care abt him .. since hes not like a mindless monster rn #idk if thatll happen cuz no one needs to like 'talk him down' or say hey buddy ! we care about u! i prommy! #but still i think that would be nice. #also what i mean by the main post is that trigger would not kill him off. probably not falin either. theyd end it like #as triumphantly as the circumstances allow. but trigger isnt writing so

There's a local pizza place that is awesome but they don't have a functioning website to order remotely so you have to call them like a caveman and also they take an hour to deliver. But the pizza is so good. I just wish it was easier to get your hands on it

#ghostly posts #like I always am ordering pizza when I'm feeling bad. because it's good #but that's the exact time I don't want to talk to a stranger #you know. #I got too used to the convenience of dominos (not as good not even close. but a lot easier to order) #specifically what makes it easier to deal with is the sauce. #because I'm always ordering for my brother too. who does not want any sauce on. #and if you order online you can spevifically and clearly communicate this and it's so easy to point out if they miss it #but if you're calling somebody and they're working in a busy restaurant with 5 people on hold and you ask them to not put sauce on #they might misremember or forget to write it down (both have happened) #and it's like. fuck. man I'm not trying to lie to you I prommy but I actually ordered this with no sauce. pizza workers can look at you like #you're crazy for asking for this. and you're like NO I promise I'm not trying to scam you out of a free pizza #but if you don't get the exact same cashier as before when you call back then they're like. uh. what #anyway anyway sorry I'm just. really hungry. I'll make ramen or something it's fine

There's one convo with Astarion that's one of my favorites that I haven't seen mentioned or discussed yet happens (I assume) if you have high approval with him but play a good-aligned character. (This is at 60+ approval, start of Act 2.) It's probably because it's not a romantic cutscene so it doesn't get mentioned as much as the others (or because he's racist in it and some of y'all don't like to acknowledge that he has character flaws), but I think it's vital to his character and to explain his early relationship with a good-aligned Tav.

I would like to break it down a little, step by step. Because we are all cringe here.

First, he claims to feel a connection between Tav and himself, and the reason for this is because he believes he's identified "ambition" in Tav (and I'll explain why he's wrong later, but that's mostly headcanon territory, so we'll ignore it for now).

But, there's also clearly something holding Tav back from realizing their full potential, which is their naivete.

"Just that you ... have a big heart. You like doing what's right."

(The animations and voice acting here make him look and sound so fucking condescending, 10/10.)

However, Astarion doesn't tell them this is wrong, or that he disagrees. He implies it's a flaw, but doesn't state it outright. That's dangerous territory, see, and might predispose them to get defensive and reject what he has to say next.

No, he tries (and fails in my case, but it's cute that he tries, bless him) to manipulate Tav by appealing to that big heart of theirs.

"So I was thinking, what would be the right thing to do when we get to Moonrise Towers? When we come face-to-face with whoever is controlling the parasites in our heads."

"I'm just saying there's an opportunity here. If we can control the tadpoles, we can keep ourselves safe and liberate the world from this evil."

See what he's doing? You like doing what's right, so what would be the right thing to do? We can keep ourselves safe. Liberate the world from evil.

It's very blatant, but he's trying to appeal to Tav's good nature by framing his questionable ideas as something that will benefit the greater good, something that's morally righteous that they would agree with.

And of course, it's incredibly funny when you ask how he thinks you'll do that, and he fumbles and admits he's not a "details person," but it's also revealing.

He thinks he's found in Tav ambition, when all he's actually found is ability. Tav exercises power proficiently, while Astarion does not. If he had the authority they have, he'd let ambition drive his actions, which is why he assumes that's what drives Tav when they exercise their power. A good-aligned Tav has very little ambition, I'd argue, but they have plenty of opportunity to exercise their power, which they do when their hand is forced.

So what Astarion is saying is, in effect, hey, you have power, I have ambition. Will you please use your authority/ability to do what I want? Here's how it'll totally be for the greater good, I prommy.

This is brilliant writing, and I really applaud Larian for managing to walk that fine line of making Astarion so sympathetic while he's literally trying to manipulate the player character. Because when I first got this convo, my thought was both "wow, I adore how blatant and terrible his manipulation attempts are, it's kind of endearing" and "he's so terrified, it's genuinely quite tragic."

If we control the tadpoles, we can keep ourselves safe. This works only somewhat as an appeal to good-aligned Tav, because it could also potentially sound very selfish, especially if Tav is the self-sacrificing sort. So notice how, when he says "liberate the world from evil", it sounds kinda tacked-on, an afterthought designed to bury his main goal, which is keep "ourselves" (i.e. himself) safe. Like, yes, this will keep us/me safe, but if you're not into that, then it'll totally help the world, too! It doesn't quite work, because he still sounds ironic and like he doesn't believe they'd be liberating anything from any evil (work that 10 Charisma, boy), but that's the intent, I think.

Does he want power for power's sake? Yes. Is he gleefully powerhungry? Absolutely. But he's also fucking terrified, and that slips through just a little bit, even behind the smug and confident facade.

He's trying to get Tav, whom he's seen exercise their power over others, to lend some of it to him, so that he may never fear anything ever again.

All of this from a short, smug convo where he admits he's too stupid to figure out how to fulfill his dreams of world domination.

God tier characterization, 10/10.
