fundamentally there are two kinds of flops:

natural flops. something of the flop is inherent in their nature and forms part of the basis of their appeal. sad little guys. meow meows. they don't always flop and they aren't necessarily untalented. sometimes they are actually immensely talented. and yet the floppage is there, waiting for them, coming to embrace them like an old friend and buddy. celestino vietti. frankly, charles leclerc. logan sargeant. the floppage is part of what you like about them. george russell in the wall again. wet men.

unnatural flops. they are not built for floppage but they're in it anyway and it's uncomfortable for everyone involved. they can't accept it and it looks bad on them. the basis of their appeal is unrelated to and negatively impacted by their floppage. these are usually people who shine. their charisma is big and when they flop it's hard to watch. they do not see themselves as flops and yet it's happening to them. it's sort of like balding. marco bezzecchi. mercedes amg petronas formula 1 team. daniel ricciardo being the primary example of this in motorsports. cringefail dudes.

#charles leclerc as a natural flop ive been saying such things #he is talented yes but at the end of the day he is a flop

that one ask you posted about how alex chooses to race under the thai flag solely bc of sponsorship money was fucking wild. anyway google is free

the albonology of it all...

#as a semi diaspora kid for a se asian community it is really reductive to reduce someone's relationship to their country or their parent's #mother country to just a transactional relationship #he made the decison #its his identity #saying anything else about it #especially when he has been so vocal in his love of thailand and has constantly gone back to thailand and been engaged in the community the #is xenophobic and rude #ik many people are upset at what is going on with logan but that is not on alex that is on the team #alex you mean the world to me #aa23

hearing officials and public figures criticize biden openly on talk shows and seeing newspaper headlines sharply decry israel killing aid workers is making me feel kind of crazy. like it could've been like this the whole time. before 40,000 palestinians were killed and the infrastructure of gaza destroyed. it could've been like this when people gathered their children in plastic bags at al-ahli hospital, when a poet and his family were assassinated for a joke, when journalists buried their families on air, when children were targeted by drones on camera, when a little boy holding his grandmother's hand in one hand and a white flag in another watched her get shot and die in front of him, when a cameraman was left to bleed out with a live counter for hours while his rescuers were shot, when patients were bulldozed in their tents in the courtyard of a hospital, when four babies were left die and decompose alone in their hospital beds, when six year old hind rajab was crying for help trapped in a car with the corpses of her family on the phone with the red crescent for hours until she and the rescuers sent to get her were killed too.

hm fuck it. charlos feb 1 timeloop AU where charles does everything he can possibly do to stop lewis from announcing he's joining ferrari in 2025. tries talking to lewis, coercing him none of it works. over multiple loops charles learns all the politics involved and tries to use insider knowledge to change the outcome and it still isn't enough. he is so desperate to stop the heartbreak, to avoid that which shatters carlos' future at ferrari and what was going to be their future together that he runs himself ragged reliving the loop in days-- weeks-- over and over again-- and it's never enough

but eventually charles comes to understand, this is it. this loop of time is the last i'll see carlos before he will never look at me the same way again. everything will change from feb 1 onwards, everything that was and now won't ever be. so charles goes fuck it. and he restarts that time loop again but to live it for them. he visits carlos on his ski trip to the dolomites and has carlos visit him. they take pictures in that gorgeous infinity pool that will only exist in charles' memories. he texts carlos every day even though he can tell carlos is getting annoyed because they're supposed to be commited to pre-season training because this year is going to be THE year for them and ferrari and the tifosi and everyone who's believed in them for the past three years. he even lies to carlos about how he thinks the contract talks are going so that carlos can believe, even for a little while, that his future at ferrari is secured; the loops where charles does that he always forces the reset just as carlos confronts him with the truth.

charles could loop their lives like this forever, if only to remain in denial that come feb 1 he's going to start losing his teammate until carlos leaves at the end of the year. but living in a time loop has its physical and mental and emotional costs: charles is tired. bone deep exhaustion that neither he nor the makeup artists can hide for c2's first (last) ferrari photoshoot of the year. both of them know this is the beginning of the end but don't want to say it out loud.

but charles has had many, many chances to learn to live with it. so when carlos holds the camera and tells him to smile, he does.
