I really like Wilbur Soot and even if he didn't stream for a year I'd probably still be subscribed.
I hope he's having fun exploring all the little oddities of New York City. I hope he gets to hang out in Central Park and enjoys that specifically great experience of sitting outside in chilly weather with the sun warming your face. I hope he's writing silly songs and sad songs and songs I'll sing in my car at a volume level that's probably not healthy for anyone's ears. I hope he eats too much good pizza and bad pizza and overpriced Whole Foods hot bar dinners.
That's enough being parasocial for me. Glad he's taking care of himself.
You know what's funny? Lando never even properly said that he was a championship contender. The only championship he ever spoke about was the constructors, the F1 media pushed him into this fight.
The way some people act on here you would think he said at some point that he would be champion no questions asked but he hasn't, he was always pessimistic about the gap.
My brand is and always will be that the tax evading millionaires are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves but damn I feel like we are crossing some lines with Lando now. The man can't even open his mouth without fans of almost every driver on the grid starts dogpiling on him. You hear one out of context sentence from an interview and just run with it only to find out that he didn't call Max' win lucky. (But you don't correct your post because why would you, Lando probably deserved the hate for one reason or another right?) You see team orders happen and call him unworthy without considering that every champion on the current grid has benefited from team orders. (But it's OK because Lando is so fucking annoying anyways right?)
Idk if it's because I have been part of many fandoms where things have escalated to the point of no return and that's why I get scared when I see this level of piling on someone but I genuinely feel like we have reached an unreasonable point now.
sorry but the fact Lando was even in contention of the wdc this season is so surreal and special to me, it’s honestly a season he can look back on and be proud of himself and of mclaren for even getting this far.
especially when you think just how bad the mclarens been for a number of years now, they’ve done so well, from when he first started and used to help his team pack down the car after a race, the title might be over for this year, but Lando is only 24, there’s still time and opportunities for a wdc, there’s also plenty of time for Oscar as well like, it’s such a young pairing in the grid
mclaren still have things to smooth out, but this was the first time they’d even been anywhere near in years, like it’s not that long ago since mclaren were 9th in the bloody constructors, there’s things to learn and get through and then they’ll get there
Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”
