Oscar Can See It In Their Eyes. They’re All Looking At Him Like He’s A Monster.

Every single time I've told someone that my fav film is the martian they are severely underwhelmed and i dont get it. What about this movie isn't MOVING YOU TO PIECES

sometimes you just have to sob over the martian film at its depiction of human nature and the nature of science and spaceflight. ITS ABOUT THE LOVE AND KINDNESS AND CARING FOR A SINGLE HUMAN LIFE.

bwoah

something something the cyclical and all-consuming nature of f1 driver's love of racing

On: different parenting approaches

so keke rosberg has a world championship, and a newborn son. he retires the sport a year after, the shadow of tragedy following him -- the fatal crash of his friend and f1 driver elio de angelis being the reason.

now keke has a blonde baby that looks like its mother and babbles in german. he bonds with his son in the language he knows best — no, not his mother tongue rusty with disuse — racing.

so he builds a track in their garden in ibiza and sticks his son in the two person kart beside him before he is old enough for the helmet to even fit properly.

keke takes nico to the last race of his career in DTM, in a smaller replica of his exact uniform. keke tells him to wave. the roar of the crowd terrifies nico. he can't. he wants to be a racing driver when he grows up.

and you know this part of the story. the boy follows in his father's footsteps. in the sport of nepotism, keke rosberg is the only world champion father who lives to see his son become a champion.

so nico rosberg has a world championship and a newborn daughter. he retires the sport a year after she is born. he knows the same fatality of the sport his father does, has experienced and lost firsthand.

now nico has a blonde baby that looks like its mother and babbles in german. nico wants to bond with her in every way he can. he wants to be hands on in every way.

he speaks 5 languages, went to an international school and both she and her sister are enrolled in the same one. he reads parenting books, has tea parties with them, and drops them to school.

the thought of his daughters following in his footsteps terrifies him, and he understands now why his mother could never stomach to watch a single race of his. this glorious unforgiving sport of his, and his father's, that doesn't care who it takes. and it seems unthinkable to put a child in a racecar, even though that was his childhood.

but if she really wanted, like he really wanted -- he would not deny it.

so he takes her to a indoor go kart track in monaco, in a helmet that's bigger than her. he's tucked right behind her, safe. they share so many languages in common, french growing up in monaco, german at home, english at school, some spanish from going to ibiza. and this -- although it's been a while since he's really spoken it, his father's language-- is one of them.

learning about the prost-senna rivalry is ultimately realising most of it was senna being kind of crazy versus prost trying (and often failing) to keep things as normal as possible. Because the thing is I’ve always believed in order to be a top athlete you have to be somewhat obsessed and for Prost he was, for the most part, the regular amount of that. whereas Senna very famously Exceeded the usual level of being consumed by his sport.

In case you were wondering, "losing your voice" in sociolinguistics is the phenomenon where a person moves into a new environment where their speech and mannerisms aren't considered prestigious or fitting anymore, such as an Indian doctor with a well respected British dialect just sounding Indian in Britain.

not to senna/schumacher post on main but do you ever think about this picture

[ nicola larini and schumacher being told that senna was in critical condition ]

or this clip of michael being asked if equalling senna meant much to him

do you ever think about the fact that michael was in denial when confronted with senna's death and only admitted to accepting it two weeks after the fact. do you ever think he would have felt guilt realising he watched senna sustain his injuries a few corners ahead during a seemingly "innocuous crash" whilst chasing him. do you ever think, retrospectively, that he felt like he shouldn't have won at imola. do you ever think about the fact that even in death senna continued to dominate headlines, eclipsing schumacher's win. do you ever think about the fact that schumacher and senna would occasionally meet after races to discuss where they had gone wrong/where they had lost speed. do you ever think about schumacher realising that would never happen again. do you ever think about the love that was there.

because i do.
