Hi, I'm sorry if this is a "please do your own research oh my god" question, and I ask this in good faith, but why is it bothersome for f1 twitter to post fics to twitter if the writers put them on the internet for consumption in the first place? Or is it the part where he speaks unkindly about them that is the bothersome part and not just the fact that he posted them on twitter?
Hey my dear!
It’s the fact that he makes fun of it and portrays it as something disgusting and ridiculous. It’s about him not giving a single shit how many people he hurts with this as long as he gets the attention. It’s about him doing it on Twitter, a place where the drivers are and fans find it funny to tag them in it.
It’s true that we put the fics on the internet for consumption but - for my part at least - I do it on tumblr and AO3, both rather … niche parts of Social Media. I don’t need the drivers to see this, I don’t send it to them and I don’t write it for them. Should Lando happen to stumble across tumblr and AO3 and sees the fics then so be it but it’s his own choice and he can decide on his own if he wants to read it or not. Fine by me.
If he does, I really don’t care. But forcing this on drivers and exposing this to a broad audience of people who just want to make fun of ‘hahahah look they are gay and they have gay sex how disgusting!!1!1!’ is what rubs me the wrong way, especially as a queer person myself.
No one gives a shit about y/n fanfictions (not that I want them to get targeted please don’t get me wrong!). And the people on Twitter don’t seem to realise that this is all fictional and no one of us really believes any of that?
Besides, we all put so much work and effort into this. It’s our safe space. It’s comfort for us and fanfiction is so much more than ‘Charles gets fucked by Pierre’ (and sometimes, yes, it’s just that and that’s fine as well).
I don’t know, if you don’t like fanfiction then simply don’t read it, like, if I don’t l like some fan art I also don’t just make a Twitter space and drag it?? I don’t make fun of the fans who literally camp in front of driver’s hotels or send love letters or create little gifts for them?
Again, I don’t mind if a driver stumbles over my fics. Should Lando find my abo porn then please, if he wants to read it that’s his own thing.
Another important point: AO3 also uses a tagging system. There is a reason why you have to click buttons that you consent to what you’re about to read. You consent to it when you open the page, click on the fic after seeing the tags and sometimes there is even a specific warning to which you have to consent as well to access the fic.
This dude puts all of this on Twitter to an audience who never got to consent to any of this and then drags it with them.
I hope this all somehow makes sense, I reblogged a few posts about this the last time and if anyone wants to add something feel free to.
"No press conference with Max and Charles in Las Vegas"
Max : "yeah but hold my beer cause if I didn't drag Charles right now in my itw istg I'll commit murder after this tonight shit show"
Charles : 😃
Alright so I don’t usually post stuff here but I have some interesting information that I thought might interest people here.
So one of my dad’s friends from work works for the fia during some of the races, so whenever he can take some time of from work he usually goes down to races because motorsport is his biggest interest. Either way, he was at our place and we were talking about F1 and the topic of drivers friendships came up for some reason, and he said that from what he had seen when he has been at races, the only friendship on the grid that he said he felt was a genuine and strong friendship was between Carlos and Lando.
And the fact that they have a special friendship isn’t really news to anyone who has eyes but still the fact that people who work within F1 says things like this shows how good of a friendship they actually have.
(Obviously I don’t mean that the other friendships on the grid isn’t genuine or anything, I just thought it might be interesting to know what people who are actually there when the cameras aren’t rolling sees)
Im a little confused about saltburn tho cuz everyone keeps saying Oliver is gay and had feelings for Felix but i really dont think he did. Like he blatantly admits to hating him and he’s clearly down to do depraved shit with people he has no feelings for (venetia, farleigh) and they literally show how he planned all this shit out and he got his end goal and i truly dont think Felix was anything other than the key piece of his little plan. Am i supposed to believe this little mastermind twink genuinely loved this man??? All signs point to absolutely not
men on twitter will schedule a fanfiction reading two days in advance instead of just admitting they like reading gay porn and move on with their life
charles protection club (red bull) came for BLOOD
OK, so I understand better what takes me out of the film. Alex's actor (Taylor Pérez) is unsympathetic (is it the role?) and it seems like he doesn't play... His gaze expresses the same emotion throughout the movie.
Charles on Sunday : Woke up early, played Padel, made it to semi final, took pic with everyone, tried speaking spanish, watched the professional final, played golf. It's not even 14 .
Max on Sunday : Hi 😃 I overslept.
I have never been this disappointed with Tumblr than with #Saltburn.
This film is made for Tumblr ironically I expected full of weirdest headcanon, queer fic, queenification of Venetia (she's the 2010 Tumblr). Over analysis about Oliver Farleigh Elspeth bi sexualty.
But it brings together fandoms that are definitely too different and the vibe is weird. It's all about Jacob Elordi, people shocked by bathtub/grave scene and fanfics x/reader. Few people are fancying Venetia Elspeth and Farleigh the way they should. No one to headcanon a part 2 or joking about the absolute horror movie Saltburn is if it was Farleigh's story.
I'm confused that's not my Tumblr.
Honestly delighted to be a Carlos fan. The legit chaos he’s causing. The people in the Charles tag hating him so hard. Such energy *chef’s kiss* like, kudos to them, it must be exhausting.. 😂
Meanwhile, Carlos is doing his thing. He’s bossing Ferrari around. He’s multitasking his slow ass driving with strategy excellence. He’s taking off his helmet and the hair is salon grade volumous. He’s building himself up, loving himself. He’s putting the ‘chill’ in 🌶
Five years ago this would have aggravated me so much that people were on his case, but I genuinely do not give a shit. Is he slower than Charles, yeah, probably. Is he making a nuisance of himself, definitely. Am I here for it.. oh hell yes.
How luisa will have to introduce lando everywhere with his first wag conjoined at the hip
