🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR GIRL 🎂

this made me giggle

This was funnier in my head

the point of rpf isn’t to concoct scenarios that are thinly veiled attempts to fuck the celebrities you like yourself. the point of rpf is to learn as much lore as is possible about the celebrities you like by whatever means necessary and use that information to craft scenarios that are wildly implausible but Technically could have happened. and then to chuckle about it. by the way

"Hey, more numbers. 46." "Valentino’s number." "I say it—what does it make you feel now?" "Nothing special." "Honestly?" "Now… well, you see it and you say… Four or five years ago… It was like…That bastard." "This guy was your idol. Let’s tell the story." "Yes." "This guy was your idol." "Yes. I had two. Pedrosa and Valentino, both of them."

[Valentino Rossi was for years the absolute king of the circuits. His personality, both on and especially off the track, made him a global idol. And among those fans was little Marc. Until he grew up, clashed with Rossi, and threatened his reign. It all exploded in 2015, in Malaysia. Márquez was already out of championship contention. Rossi and Lorenzo were fighting for the title, and then, unexpectedly, the Italian accused Márquez of favoring his fellow Spaniard. Look at Marc’s face. He’s in shock, right? Then, in a chat with journalists, Rossi went straight for Marc’s throat.]

"Someone put ideas in his head?" "I think yes" "Against you?" "Yes, against the situation." "But you had his phone number, you could’ve called him and said…" "Well, yeah, because when you're fighting for…I mean, and he had mine too." "And did you call each other?" "No. I was 22 years old. I mean, 22 years old. He…He’s more than 10 years older than me. More. So, he was the one with the experience. And well, the thing is, he gets to the Malaysia press conference, and that’s when he attacks me publicly. For me, that was a lack of respect." "And after that press conference, didn’t you pull him aside? Didn’t you two talk privately?" "I wasn’t supposed to pull him aside; he should have done that with me." "Well, either of you could have. It takes two to argue. I mean, you could have…" "No, I was just…I didn’t react." "You were in shock." "I was in shock. I didn’t react. I didn’t know how to react." " Okay." "I think it was a move to intimidate me." "Because he saw you as a threat." "A threat to what?" " Well, to his status, to himself, to his…" "Maybe to his championship, yes." "But that race was one of the best, according to experts." "One of the best first laps ever. It was a fight. A fight to the very end. Well, to the end—until he decided."

[And what seemed impossible happened. In the Malaysia race, Rossi kicked Marc and knocked him down.]

"Did you fall or did he take you down?" "He took me down." "Could that have been accidental?" "No, that’s losing your temper. It’s impossible for that to be accidental, no. Accidental is when you overtake aggressively, your bike slips for a moment, and you collide with another rider. But it’s not accidental to push a rider off the track, look at him, and then stick your leg out. That’s not accidental. That’s deliberate." "Three years later, Argentina." "Yeah." "There, you knocked him down." "Yes." "Was it revenge?" " No, that was accidental." "Oh, so when you do it, it’s accidental? But when he does it, it’s deliberate?" "That’s it. I’m the good guy, and he’s the bad guy." "Of course, sure. Have you spoken again after all that?" "Yes, after Malaysia, we did. But after Argentina, we haven’t spoken again." "This could be solved over a drink." "You as the mediator." "I’d gladly put on the helmet and be the referee. Who would’ve thought? Me, in this role! But I’d step in and say, "Come on, Valentino, come on, Marc," and fix this. All behind the cameras, away from all the noise." "I don’t think so. There’s no willingness." "From you or from him?" "From both. I used to be open to it, but not anymore. I don’t need to be friends with everyone."

mhhhhm so i feel slightly insane after all this. there's so much to unpack!!!!!

him saying he doesn't feel anything hearing vale's number yet he still calls him valentino...he says pedrosa and valentino.....i don't know why he's never called him just rossi. to distance himself. the fuckin adele song on the flashback i can't i'm on the floor. never mind i find someone like you?????? wtf is wrong with those people. also him saying i was fucking 22 like yes baby you were that's crazy to think. and it's crazy because marc is like i didn't do anything about because he should've come to me. he should have reached out he had my fucking phone number. can you imagine young marc phone in hand in his motorhome waiting for a text from vale saying that everything is just a joke, that he doesn't mean it but the text just never comes....devastating. the way is voice raises a little bit when he answers a threat to what??? gosh. and how he says like no it's not accidental like it's just not. omgggg and this interview was in 2023......when will they be normal about each other. someone give me a gun please!!!!
