Carlos Always Coming In Clutch With That Possessive Leg Stance.

🤨🤨

the moment I found out that formula 1 has a whole ass fandom with really good fanfic and fanart and everything

that was the moment my life changed forever.

how do yall have such nice blog themes ;-;

😎😎

I think we can all agree that post-Montreal, Carlos was subjected to about one thousand hours of Lando being the human equivalent of >:( and complaining about pit stops and P15s but then they made out about it so problem solved.

does lando ever feel self conscious abt being more "pretty" and beautiful than being handsome? and if so, hoe does carlos react??

Oh I think for sure, especially when he was in his teens. Everyone around him was sprouting and growing facial hair or whatever and he had the barest whiskers to shave every four days or so. It’s hard not to feel frustrated about it especially in such a hypermasculine sport, when people are calling you “cute” and saying “aw how sweet do you look in that suit!”

And then there’s Carlos. And if there’s one thing about Carlos when it comes to Lando, it’s that he will never, ever infantilize Lando. The first time Carlos saw Lando in a suit, he smiled and called him handsome.

Handsome. Not cute. Handsome.

Other times, Carlos would fix his suit for him, step back, look at him critically, then smile and nod and say, “Ay, he looks good, eh? Good-looking Lando.”

Good-looking. And even that felt different, like a peer complimenting a peer.

And so it went, Carlos calling Lando handsome, good-looking, complimenting Lando’s jaw (“Did you do something with it? It looks sharp, no?”) or his muscles when he started putting on bulk (he would whistle and raise an eyebrow. “Strong. Not as strong as me, but strong,” and Lando would snort and kick him even as his heart beat like crazy).

Until the first time they had sex, Lando on top of Carlos, easing himself on, gasping with his palms on Carlos’ chest. Carlos looked at him like he was…well, he looked at him, his hands on Lando’s hips, caressing his skin, and he said it, he said: “Dios, you are beautiful, Lando.”

And no one had called Lando beautiful before. He wanted to be offended - why beautiful and not handsome? - but coming from Carlos, it felt like an affirmation Lando had not known he was seeking. It continued:

“Look at you. Fuck, look at you.”

“I could watch you like this forever.”

“I wish you could see how you look like this. Lando. Lando.”

And:

“Mierda. You’re so beautiful for me. So fucking handsome, Lando. Don’t stop.”

It stopped mattering what other people thought of Lando’s looks, whether they thought he was cute or pretty or whatever the fuck. All that mattered was how Carlos looked at him. And Lando knew he was all of it: he was handsome, he was beautiful, hell, he was even cute. More than anything, he was Carlos’. Within that truth, he could be anything he wanted.

interviewer: you wrote "orange chair" (on the camera lens). what do you mean by that?

stef: idk tbh

About to dox myself a little. Please be gentle.

My country, Pakistan, is drowning. A third of Pakistan is at risk of being deluged by massive floods. 1000+ people have been killed, countless others displaced. We have the highest number of glaciers outside the poles, and because of climate change, they’re melting. The knock-on effect is unspeakable—and yet we must speak of it. Tragedy upon tragedy, especially against our poor and most marginalized, and it feels ceaseless.

Pakistan is just one of many countries who will be—who are being—disproportionately affected by climate change. We need international solidarity and we need radical change. Climate change is here, it is happening, it has been happening. The developed world owes developing countries on a moral level; corporations have bloody hands; the neoliberal economic order has stricken us with debts that are choking us; and through it all, we must—cruelly—battle for air against so many other people and causes who deserve equal attention, equal outrage, equal concern. That is not the world we deserve. That is not the world that will save us from climate change. We need to reimagine what a just world will look like. We need to build global, truly global, solidarity. And in the meantime, we need reparations.

If you can, please consider donating to one of these relief efforts.
