Reblogging. No Reasons Needed

Anyone has that clip where Charles is actually filmed doing this?

Charles really loves a Carlos close up

Apparently Gabi never had enough of hugging Nico yesterday

I can’t believe I saw this on @c2-eh’s blog. I was sure this was @lovelynikol7 XD

Tagging both of you… but also is this a max thighs worshipping covenant?

I can be trusted to behave around max verstappen's thighs I promise

@evilpixiea because you should see this

Thank you for the tag @f1-stuff ❤️ 6 non-selfie pics. Easy because I never take any, but it was hard to select 6 as lately my camera roll is just me saving Charlos photos XD BUT it was my birthday last week and I took some photos..

If you wanna share some photos, I’m tagging @lovelynikol7, @demonofyork and @evilpixiea, but with absolutely no pressure or obligation

(These explanations are for me and not part of the tag game)

1) matcha latte as I sat down in a cafe in my neighbourhood to fill out those ADHD assessment questionnaires I have been supposed to fill for 6 months

2-4+6) flowers I got gifted for my birthday and afternoon tea with my mom, sis and brother-in-law (we ordered the sandwich and scones, and she made the mini egg cake) to celebrate

5) my F1 journal (which I need to complete for Bahrain and actually do for Saudi Arabia 🤦🏽‍♀️)

The Humanization of Superman

What Zack Snyder did for the character of Superman is equivocal to the evolution his character went through in the 1980s. Superman had become far too powerful to be of any interest as a character. Through a series of deaths, resurrections, soft reboots, and revitalizations of the character, Superman became weaker and more vulnerable. This forced his characterization to change slightly, as he became more relatable and interesting.

What Zack Snyder did with Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman was add a new layer to this character that contained all of the weight and expectation placed upon Superman, as a character that had to be handled carefully and perfectly, and placed it upon the man. You can hear this very burden in the criticisms of Snyder’s characterization with lines like, “Superman is supposed to smile,” or “ Superman is supposed to be a ‘boy scout’ not gloomy.” The anxiety and introverted personality Snyder gave to the character almost serves as a counter to this. He made Superman carry these expectations and even face them head on in Batman vs Superman. 

One the author and creator of One Punch Man did something similar with his protagonists by realizing that in order to make an all powerful character interesting you have to give them weaknesses that we can relate too, and he does this by making them bad at communication or giving them feelings of loneliness and isolation, as no one is able to be their equal or understand their pain. This leads his characters to often push others away or accept a burden they do not want in pursuit of doing what is right even if they know no one will ever understand or know what they did, but it also allows his character to act unheroic and selfish as they struggle to feel normal.

If future creators were to embrace what Snyder has given to the character of Superman, we might gain a character that can not only be what we all strive to be but also give us a way of delving into the complex nature and burden of expectation and power. Their is a reason “human nature” is always a reference to how we see or interact with the world rather than our physical strength. What makes a character human is their feelings, desires, and relationships, and superhero stories are the perfect chance to delve into these concepts in a significant and interesting way. 

For these amazing movies and a hopeful future for the character, Zack, we thank you. 

Update: I started watching Drive to Survive, season 7, again, which means episode 3. It’s so weird. I actually forgot for a second that I am watching real life [well, it’s Netflix but still], and not a movie.

It’s late. I need to do the dishes

Confession of a rpf writer

I feel incapable of writing anything Gabico. I think the outpouring of Gabico content around Nico’s podium has rushed the narrative forward at a rhythm I wasn’t ready to engage with and unbalanced the beginning of an outline I was grasping at to follow up on what I wrote last week (I think it was last week?).

Nothing dramatic, just needing to externalize the feelings, I think, as I feel a bit overwhelmed and just need to sit with the original narrative to find again the plot points that felt so overwhelming (as in, inspiring) last week. It’s like the plot moved forward without me and I don’t recognize it anymore..

I probably just need to find a playlist that brings me back ^^;

The way he’s looking from side to side trying to get some help 🥺
