“Y’know,” he said. Shrugged again. “That last call? I kind of thought I’d have that by now.” “What,” Eddie raised his eyebrows at him. “A roof collapsing on you?” Buck grunted, elbowed Eddie. Lightly, because he did appreciate the humour in Eddie’s voice. “No,” he said. “Just - married.” i love love love the combination of pining and angst and comedy in this!! it's such a good time all around. another reread, and i'm glad i picked this up again!

Eddie is miserable in El Paso, having seemingly made things worse. Buck is miserable in Los Angeles, without him. When Buck agrees to go home to Hershey for the holidays, everything implodes. oh and implode it does... such a fascinating look at the buckley and diaz families (i loved madney here!!) and at buddie themselves, of course. such a brilliant fic!!

when the tequila runs out | Artemis_Unbound/@artemisthehuntress | 5k | T

Drunk Buck is an octopus, Eddie is a pushover, and cuddles are had by all. soft and funny and just the perfect nighttime read <3 this might come last alphabetically, but it was the first fic i read this week, and what a delightful start it was!

the funniest part in all of this is the fact that it checks out that max would've said this to george and it also makes him seem authentic cause it aligns with his image while george looks more like a liar with each new statement that hits the timeline where he walks back on stuff he said previously... proving max's assessment right

Project 2025 makes it very possible that we could lose AO3. It features same sex relationships and smut and could be something that the new administration sees as an enemy. It’s possible that it would simply be banned in the US and other countries can still use it, but since I’m pretty sure it’s an American website the whole thing might just be destroyed instead. So everyone might lose it.

Here’s what we should all do just in case.

1. Download your favorite works as a PDF and back them up on multiple devices so you don’t lose them.

2. If you are a writer, try to publish your works on multiple different platforms like fanfiction.net and wattpad. I’m a Doctor Who writer so I know about whofic, but do research on your fandom to see if there’s fandom specific sites available.

Edit: I want to be extra clear that readers should download works that aren’t about same sex love or don’t have smut too. I think it goes without saying but I want to be very clear that the Trump administration is more likely to ban or delete the whole archive than it is to sort through what content it deems “appropriate”.

they're so cute!!!!!!!

We are aware that there is an issue with logging in and staying logged in. We are currently working on a fix.

Hannibal (2013-2015)

2x01 || 2x04 || 3x13

on ferrari politics, strategy and carlos sainz

Just a heads-up / disclaimer, i am a leclerc fan and therefore not unbiased. I did, however, come into the sport as a ferrari fan and tried to give Sainz his dues, and I still want him to, but- oh, well. We'll just get into it.

Ferrari, for a while, has actively suffered due to its own politics. Seb Vettel didn't seem to get on well in the atmosphere. They haven't been able to hold on for a championship since 2007.

There's a little bit of background I think is important for the current setup in ferrari:

Charles Leclerc was the last driver signed by the ex-TP, Arrivabene, and renewed by him also.

Carlos Sainz was the first (major) signing by Mattia Binotto, and was then propped by the management of the team through 2022, influencing car development in a negative direction.

After Silverstone 2022, Leclerc allegedly threatened to leave Ferrari. Binotto was fired and replaced with Fred Vasseur, who worked with Leclerc in his rookie season in F1 in Sauber. It's heavily speculated that this decision was made to please Leclerc and prevent him from leaving.

The 2022 and 2023 cars were influenced by Sainz's feedback predominantly, and his comfort.

Sainz has been beaten in teammate H2H by Hulkenberg, Leclerc and Verstappen. He looked good against a rookie Norris, which earnt him the Ferrari seat in 21.

In 2021, Sainz outscored Leclerc by five points. Leclerc had two dnfs to Sainz's zero, and lost probably about 40-50 points through no fault of his own. 2022, Ferrari started the year with the fastest car, and went backwards throughout because they refused to valorise their faster driver, who lead the championship by a fair distance after the first few races, picking up a grand slam in australia and winning by twenty seconds there, instead aiming to get Sainz "comfortable in the car" (Mekies' words). In 2023, from Carlos Sainz Sr's words, the car was developed in Sainz's direction, and every ferrari fan agrees the sf-23 was a shitbox. Still, Leclerc was the only driver to overtake Verstappen on equal stints (LV23) and picked up a ton of poles, outperforming his teammate and AGAIN losing out to bad luck with the trilogy of DNF, DNS, DSQ in a season. These weren't small points losses, either. all in all, he probably lost forty points alone in the second half of the season.

So, under Vasseur, the team is taking a different direction, being now firmly lead by Leclerc, who signed a contract extension of five+ years with the scuderia. Meanwhile, Sainz struggled to be offered more than a one-year deal, and there were rumours in the press about Ferrari wanting to bring in Albon, Norris in 2025/6. They very clearly wanted to keep that second seat open, regardless of Hamilton - his availability was just a bonus.

The narrative, somehow, has been twisted into Carlos' departure being comparable to Sebastian's: a betrayal. Carlos was offered an extension in 2023, and didn't sign it, and instead his camp decided to start talking about their Audi offers during the Monza 23 weekend, as a way to put pressure on surrounding contracts, and Ferrari basically turned around, and said: fine. Go if you want.

Sainz has had a full season to negotiate. He's not particularly a victim here, in my opinion. He's repeatedly, across the course of his four-year stint with Ferrari, ignored team orders in both quali and the race to serve his own interests, and lies in interviews after. Two recent instances that spring to mind are Bahrain 2024, where he implied to the press he had similar braking issues to Charles' (he didn't) and Barcelona 2024/ Austria 2024, where he went against his own TP to say he never agreed to saving his tyres after overtaking and making contact with his teammate, potentially costing Leclerc and the team a podium / a position.

There's a reason Sainz is leaving. If it weren't for Hamilton, it would be Albon, Norris, or someone else. The two drivers aren't a good fit. Vasseur said he had to calm them down every two GPs. Sainz's camp is reportedly incredibly toxic to be around, in general, and Ferrari is one of the only teams where somewhere in the contracts they can't prioritise upgrades to one driver. they're the only team to consistently bring upgrades to both cars, regardless of how urgent those upgrades are.

The team has been obsessed with giving Sainz and Leclerc equal status. Now its actively harming them. Leclerc has long been faster. In 2019 he outperformed a 4xWDC in the form of Seb Vettel at points. He won his first two races back-to-back. People who know both compare him to Verstappen. After firing Seb in 2020, it was expected Leclerc would lead the team moving forward, but Carlos came in and demanded equal status, and now there's a whole mess as a result. No other top team is this nice. RBR, McLaren, even Mercedes to some extent, make no pretenses about who they prioritise, and it helps them. There's team orders regularly. This doesn't happen at Ferrari, and even if it does, Sainz ignores them anyway. and this isn't just from this year. This is from 23, 22 ("stop inventing!" comes to mind).

Along with this, he lies (or is just delusional) to the media, about pace, damage, strategy. It's exhausting to keep up with. Then, when Leclerc hits back, he's labelled a poor sport (his comments about "that moment in his career" were so cheeky, but in my opinion, not uncalled for), and he also made a comment after imola quali, but it was in french, to canal+. Anyone who follows Leclerc knows these comments aren't out of nowhere, and he can bite back if he needs to.

The issue isn't teammates fighting each other. It's that there's long since been a power imbalance in this team and Ferrari has suffered as a result. And it looks like they're going to continue to suffer in the next few races.

(Just needed to get this off my chest. I think Sainz actually is a pretty decent driver, but his politics just. Rubs me the wrong way and I need him to sign a contract so everyone else can start to move. I'm sick of talking about him).

So, I've had an idea for a fanfiction and I needed to create something before I wrote it.

So, behold! FirstPrince Kingsman AU!

If anyone has any ideas for what they want to read in the fanfiction, comment below!

I'm really excited for this AU!

Coanda Effect - JJK F1 AU

MY KOFI IS HERE! Any tips are appreciated :3

Coanda effect: noun (Co·an·da effect) (kō¦andə-, -än-) : the tendency of a fluid jet, such as airflow, to be attracted to a nearby surface. Used in motorsport and car design by aerodynamicists to help divert airflow to specific areas of the car.

“Yo, Satoru.” Getou Suguru looks older. His hair is longer. He still has the same small scar along the left side of his forehead from 2013. It’s fainter, now, than it was then. “It’s been a while.” It's been seven years, but who's keeping count?

Separate note: CARLITOS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

The man is gonna give me a heart attack because WILLIAMS??? I know it’s just a rumor but he’s really playing with fire rn (it’s Daniel level of silly season but like,,, people actually want him he just turns them down because he wants a seat at a top team as opposed to Danny doing the same… but nobody going after him 💀)

Sauber/Audi laid it on the table but noooo el a fuerza quiere top 3 (or 4 ídek atp)

Silly season is in full swing let’s see how this game of musical chairs ends

OH FORGOT TO ADD-

Kevin not getting any penalties is FOUL imo the man keeps pulling kamikaze moves on the grid and taking out anyone within a car space radius (makes for great tv but is a nightmare on HAAS’ bill)

I go AWOL from social media for a MINUTE and get back only to find out Alpine is dropping Esteban and Sergio got a contact extension???

The world truly is healing LFGGGGG

"the bucktommy scene was uncomfortable for me" then don't watch it? these are grown men with their own wants and desires, so sue them for talking, consentingly, about kinky sex. boohoo, and i'm sure they fucked nasty right after the scene ended too <3

-Buck: So maybe we both had daddy issues

-Tommy: I don't

-Buck: Which I think I do..

-Tommy: God I hope so!

TOMMY PLEASEEE!!??!?

CHARLES LECLERC, WINNER OF THE 2024 MONACO GRAND PRIX

LFGGGGGGG OMG I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM

SCREW YOU MONACO CURSE HE DID IT GUYS

Guys Charles might actually win this year LFGGGGGG

Anyway, in other news, 17 laps left

SOMEONE KEEP AN EYE ON THE BATTERY

Come on Maxie COME ON PUSH PUSH PUSH

Mercedes sending Lewis to pits to favor George… 7x champion but they don’t give a shit because he’s going off to Ferrari lmaoooo

Oscar’s car holding on McLaren you fucking G’s

The way I can’t decide if I want Carlitos or Lando in p3

Lewis complaining about the tyres but George doing well on them…

What did I just say about Lance and tyres?

Lance m’s tyre really said “nah, imma stay right here” LMAOOOO

Alonso p11 iktr 🙂‍↕️

RB/MERCEDES TO PITS EVERYONE HOLD YOUR BREATH

MAX?!?! Push push push PUSH omfg

That’s PERFECT well done RB let’s hope those hards hold on

Damn, Bottas overtook Logan fuuuuck my life

Has George gone into pits yet? Because those tyres won’t be holding onto much longer (I think idk we’ll see)

CARLITOS STIP GIVING ME THOSE SCARES

Wait, BENCHING Esteban? Not gonna say anything but… hmmmmm 👀

Lando’s tyres are holding onto dear life gotta give them kudos for that

VENGA ALONSO, overtake Lance I believe in you (yes, I know Lance just changed tyres, but does that really matter when it comes to him?)

Jfc I just realized that RB are only getting points with Max today, gotta look at those builder’s board because the Ferrari’s and McLaren’s performance this year is INSANE

Oscar talking strategies I LOVE HIM, he doesn’t necessarily have to worry rn and yet he’s being cautious (this is more than you can say about CERTAIN drivers)

5 PLACE DROP FOR ESTEBAN 💀 BYEEEE

Have we had any news on the HAAS/RB thing? Because Kevin should also get a place penalty imo (the least they could do)

OMG HIII ARTHUR

Ok ok ok, Lando to the pits, let’s hope they change those tyres quickly 🤞🏻

CHARLES YOU’VE GOT THIS

Listen, I love Max. I do want him to win another WDC. But, after last year, I love seeing everyone be more competitive.

I also need to see the analytics of those Mercedes because George has been the one carrying the team so far this season

LANDO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TYRES DON’T GIVE GEORGE AN OPENING

That 1cm to the barrier gave me a tiny heart attack, I need that left rear to hold out at least 10 more laps

Riiiight, so they are preserving tyres so they can make it to the end… can George preserve tyres in another spot? (re: further back, let Max through 🫶🏻)

I love George btw, but I’ve got my own agenda on who I want in top 5

Also LET’S GO YUKI he’s holding that P8 so well (had to double check where Daniel was at because… ofc he’s not too 10 💀)

IF Oscar’s car decides to take him out of the race, that top three is still 💯 (Lando, this is your time to shine)

Oh yeaaah, Ferrari McLaren sandwich iktr 🥳

Lance tapping Gasly- nothing new here

Charles is doing really good everyone pray that he finishes first 🙏🏻🤞🏻🕯️

Charles also getting fastest lap iktr

The Lecrecs being top two brings balance to the world

(Silently wishing that Max overtakes George)

Esteban with a penalty for tapping Pierre- well deserved, stop running into your teammate pls

CARLITOS WITH THE FASTEST LAP RN

No no no don’t tell me about Oscar’s car’s damage, don’t want to think about it giving him problems rn I might cry

Alpine are so unserious CAN Y’ALL STOP RUNNING INTO EACH OTHER

Also, HAAS deserves maaajor penalties because wtf was that

And now everyone’s just sitting around 🪑

Gonna take a walk after that 😀

WDYM !?!? A RED FLAG!?!? Monaco pls PLS let Charles win

Carlitos POR FAVOR this is not the time to get a puncture

AND SERGIO WAS HIT BY A HAAS?!?

We’re barely a minute in my heart can’t take this

not “oh my god it’s just a tv show” as in you are not allowed to find genuine joy and form a true connection to fiction, but “oh my god it’s just a tv show” as in, if it legitimately stresses you out and impacts your mood when things don’t happen exactly the way you want them to, and it causes you to lash out at other - real - people, maybe you need to take a massive step back.
