the eyes of NIKI LAUDA, 1974

NIKI LAUDA getting his yogurt snack interrupted at the 1976 FRENCH GRAND PRIX

Bruno the type of mf who has no damn clue on how to let someone know he’s interested in them because he never got to experience those interpersonal connections at a young age so he will literally just buy them the most unnecessary expensive shit, thinking like hey I’m gonna send them those unnecessarily gigantic bouquets of flowers at their workplace for everyone to see and make it such an awkward experience because surely that’s a good way to go at it. Or inviting them to the most bougie ass restaurant but just sipping water because they have no idea how to have a normal conversation that doesn’t involve talking about mafia shit but hey at least there’s someone playing a piano here then realizing he’s just so out of touch with civilian living and dread sets in and shit, I feel awful? Lemme buy my significant other a thousand dollars worth of shit cus I’m terrified of them leaving my criminal ass

Yogurt break

No bc why did Johnny just suffer non-stop for his entire fucking life - he was abused from a young age by his shitty dad, he saw his brother die and blamed himself for it, became disabled because of an extremely minor offense during a time period where being disabled was especially hard, was abandoned in an abusive hospital and disowned by his dad who should KILL HIMSELF, made a single (1) friend only to watch him die, had the chance to bring his friend back dangled in his face, the whole fucking ordeal with alt. Diego, fell in love and had 2 kids BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY his wife started to die, stole the corpse to heal her (going against his agreement with the only 2 people from the race he had left) but then his fucking son started to die instead, finally he died by getting his head crushed by a fucking boulder at the age of only 29????!!?!??!?!?!??!!

Like he just suffered constantly and never really won and never had the life he deserved but despite EVERYTHING he showed such remarkable resilience and KINDNESS throughout his life, he SAVED Lucy and his family and loved animals and hoped for things to get better despite it all and fought so hard and came so far and even missed and grieved for his ENEMIES because of how much the race meant to him and it was all destroyed at the end despite everything he did and his legacy continued on but they'll never know what we know and its been 100 years and he's been dead for so fucking long and has faded into an old folktale and all the characters from SBR are GONE and the world has moved on and time has passed and the inheritance of curses, burden and trauma through the bloodline and I miss Johnny so much and he unknowingly set in motion the curse of his descendants all to save his wife and then his son who he cherished despite being abused by his own father and how different would everything had been if he just received the love he deserved from his family and oh my god he's just like Jonathan and Jolyne and he acted out of pure love even if it went against everything he'd previously fought for because he is so incredibly human and even though he's gone and his descendants will never know him, his sacrifice and love and resilience persists through them and we know that but they can't and -
