not to f1 on main but the fact that nico rosberg and lewis hamilton met as a rich white son of a f1 world champ living in monaco and a poor black boy from a blue collar family in state housing in england who were ostracized from other karting kids for different reasons and befriended each other and grew up having sleepovers in hotel rooms and doing setups for each others karts and going on holidays together and G R E E C E..... eating frosted flakes together bcos it was nicos favourite food. being kids who raced but raced together as best friends most importantly. making it through the ranks of feeder. winning junior championships and each getting their gp2 champs. both making it to f1. hugging each other and jumping up and down after both getting on a podium together in 2007. only for lewis to win his 1st championship in his second year. and the next, end up as teammates with nico in a team that seemed to be a backmarker. only for it to Very Much Not Be That the next year. and lewis kept winning in this team, he got his 2nd and 3rd championships beating the other teams and beating nico. and tensions grew between him and nico as the two became more aggressive in fighting for titles and nico who was so competitive began to break himself down to beat lewis (rethreading his gloves for grip, waking up at like 4am, taking more time away from his family, etc) until they took each other out in spain 2016 in the first corner of the first lap. and things between them reached a point of no return. head to head for every race after until finally nico cinched his first f1 title. on a day where he was so nervous, all he could do was eat frosted flakes. He had finally won but, he'd also lost his best friend. no longer on speaking terms. and after all of that effort nico was so burnt out he retired from the sport completely not even a month later. and he became a commentator. in the paddock, still around. and he and lewis danced around each other for YEARS. it was like they had double restraining orders against the other each. nico brought up lewis whenever he could and lewis did his best to just ignore nico and focus on racing which he did perfectly. he got more championships for himself and mercedes. and this year he called valterri the best teammate he'd ever had. and nico not a week later at a heineken sponsored event was filmed on someones phone sitting down with this big group of people talking about the entire breakdown of his relationship with lewis and how toxic it become like every person there was a fucking therapist with this being FIVE YEARS AFTER HE RETIRED like they had to opposites in grieving this friendship. one reservedly and privately and one loudly and publically. and then later in the year abu dhabi 2021 comes around and lewis is fighting for a championship for the first time since nico and hes asked if hes a better driver than he was in 2016 only to respond "yes. And a better teammate" acknowlegding the breakdown for the first time. admitting for the some fault in the 2 way car-crash that was nico and his equivalent of two super-attached wlw teenagers' homoerotic friendship imploding in on itself into a messy, emotional split. and then not 3 seconds after the clip of him saying this the fucking camera crew cut to the sky broadcast team sitting there in shocked SILENCE for like 5 whole seconds just

Holy shit, they got Voyager 1 working again!
15 billion miles away and NASA was able to tweak code packages on one of the onboard computers and it worked and Voyager 1 is sending signals back to earth for the first time since November.
Incredible!

romanticizing your life is such a powerful tool and it’s a shame that it’s mostly used by people on tiktok to justify the purchase of expensive breakfast smoothies when there are few better ways to force oneself through unpleasant shit than imagining a cinematic backstory for your extremely quotidian suffering

I saw this prompt list on twitter which goes like 'reverse fake dating - everyone is convinced that you aren't actually dating' and i think this trope would go perfectly with stewy x waystar executive reader :)
no cause ur so right...
They've known each other for years and years, meeting first at her job. At the time, she'd only been an intern for Kendall, handling his meetings and proposals and whatever other bullshit he needed an extra hand with. Stewy came into the office guns blazing, immediately throwing a playful insult her way, "I didn't know Waystar was hiring college students now?" Surprisingly, she'd been able to match him without skipping a beat "Oh no, they have very high standards here. Ergo, you not having a position at the company."
The interaction begins their years of banter and faux hatred. As she moves through the ranks and begins working with shareholders more directly, Stewy doesn't hesitate to make his 'dislike' for her known. He says she's "All beauty, no brains," and "She's practically a child! Yesterday she learned her ABCs and now she's negotiating with high stakes clients. Great idea, Kendall." To the rest of the world, the pair were complete enemies. Not a day passed by when an argument didn't ensue between the two of them.
Which is why nobody believed it when Roman said he'd seen them together outside of work. The Roy swore they were at a bar that weekend, acting all buddy buddy and even holding hands. But when he couldn't provide any proof, everyone waved it off as another one of Rome's messy jokes. That is, until Kendall brought it up at a board meeting. It's an offhand comment towards her, something like "... about as real as Stewy and you dating-" trying to explain the disreputable behavior of another company. But then she responds, "What do you mean? We are."
Everything is quiet for a second after that, interrupted with Roman's "I told you so!" It takes a while to convince people, everyone believing it's some kind of practical joke you were playing together. It gets to the point where Stewy has to pull out his phone to share old photos of them, saying "Wait you didn't know? Yeah, it's been, what, five years now?" It's mind boggling for the executive team. How do two people who so publicly hate each other actually be deeply in love? She tells everyone it's just their sense of humor, says she can't believe they didn't pick up on the comedy in their teasing.
Kendall says "You- you literally called him a dick during the meeting yesterday!" But she only responds "Mhm. I called him a dick last night too."
