a reference list of every poem Paddy Mayne quotes in the show (with links)
Season 1
Ep. 1
Paddy's intro scene ->
If the heats of hate and lust
In the house of flesh are strong,
Let me mind the house of dust
Where my sojourn shall be long.
In the nation that is not
Nothing stands that stood before;
There revenges are forgot,
And the hater hates no more;
- XII from A Shropshire Lad, by A. E. Housman
+
And naked to the hangman’s noose
The morning clocks will ring
- IX from A Shropshire Lad, by A. E. Housman
Ep. 2
Paddy talking with Stirling in prison ->
By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' lazy at the sea,
There's a Burma girl a-settin', and I know she thinks o' me;
For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the temple-bells they say:
"Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!"
Come you back to Mandalay,
Where the old Flotilla lay:
Can't you 'ear their paddles chunkin' from Rangoon to Mandalay?
On the road to Mandalay,
Where the flyin'-fishes play,
An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay!
- Mandalay by Rudyard Kipling
Ep. 3
Paddy wandering in the desert ->
Do you think there's a far border town, somewhere,
The desert's edge, last of the lands we know,
Some gaunt eventual limit of our light,
In which I'll find you waiting; and we'll go
Together, hand in hand again, out there,
Into the waste we know not, into the night?
- The Wayfarers by Rupert Brook
Ep.5
Paddy speaking to Jordan ->
The eyes of a familiar compound ghost
Both intimate and unidentifiable.
- Little Gidding by T. S. Eliot
Season 2
Ep. 1
Paddy talking to the SAS ->
Had I three lives, I'd die in such a cause,
And rise, with ghosts, over the well-fought field.
Prepare, prepare!
- A War Song to Englishmen by William Blake
Ep. 2
Paddy talking about Reg's donkey ->
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil’s walking parody
On all four-footed things.
The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
- The Donkey by G. K. Chesterton
After Paddy washes his feet ->
What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries for them; no prayers nor bells,
- Anthem for Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owen
When the German soldier surrenders ->
What candles may be held to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes.
- Anthem for Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owen
Ep. 6
When Paddy's running in the country ->
Prepare, prepare the iron helm of war,
Bring forth the lots, cast in the spacious orb;
Th' Angel of Fate turns them with mighty hands,
And casts them out upon the darken'd earth!
Okay but as an ambulatory wheelchair user I loved how Rian Johnson portrayed Simone. He didn't have her be miraculously healed, but had her learn to live and deal with her chronic pain.
Abled people really don't understand how big that is. Like just having an ambulatory wheelchair user is big!!! (I cackled at the scene where she gets out of her chair and someone says it's a miracle and she just goes "I can walk, it just hurts.") But also having her angry that she's in constant pain and trying anything to feel better is so realistic. A lot of disabled people, especially newly disabled people, fall into the idea that they need to be "cured" and that they need to get back to "normal".
Having her accept her disability and making her learn how to still do the thing she loves while still having chronic pain is amazing! Like, the idea that you can continue living after becoming disabled is so rarely shown! Like believe it or not, disabled people can lead fulfilling and happy lives doing things we love!
from someone with chronic pain i feel lowkey seen but mine really only effects my arms and back. but learning to live with it is soooo hard so i appreciate it being a feature in a film as there arent a lot of characters in films and tv shown/portrayed as someone living with chronic pain or being an ambulatory wheelchair user
You could have the drivers react to yn trying on their racing suits.
The day you tried their race suit (and broke them)
pairing: all the drivers on the grid x fem!gf!reader
summary: you put on their racing suit “just to see how it feels.” What you didn’t expect was the way he would react. Some blush, some malfunction, some get feral. Because seeing you in their suit? Yeah… that does things to a man.
Red Bull
Max Verstappen
You walk out wearing his suit, zipped halfway like you own the place.
Max freezes. Actually freezes. “...Take it off.”
You: “Why?”
Max: “Because I can’t think straight when you look like that.”
GP walks past, sees you, immediately U-turns: “Nope. I’m not dealing with this.”
Max spends the rest of the day staring at you like you’re the championship trophy.
Yuki Tsunoda
He screams. Literally.
“NO WAY— NO WAY YOU LOOK BETTER IN IT THAN ME.”
He circles you like a confused, angry chihuahua.
Then softens instantly: “Okay but like… you’re kinda cute.”
Takes 200 photos. Sends them to everyone. Posts one. Doesn’t regret it.
Ferrari
Charles Leclerc
You step out wearing his Ferrari red and Charles straight-up drops his phone.
“Mon dieu… you are trying to kill me.”
He walks up, fixes the collar even though it’s perfectly fine.
“You… you know this is my weakness, right?”
He blushes the whole day and refuses to look you directly in the eye.
Lewis Hamilton
He gasps—dramatic, hand-to-his-chest, full fashion moment.
“Okayyy, you better WORK.”
He makes you spin like you’re on a runway.
“Honestly, you wear it better than half the grid.”
Then takes a selfie with you and sets it as his lockscreen.
McLaren
Lando Norris
He chokes on his own spit.
“DUDE—WHAT—WHY—HOW—”
You: “English, Lando.”
“I CAN’T, HAVE YOU SEEN YOURSELF?”
He won’t stop giggling like an idiot.
Later he whispers, “I’m never washing that suit again.”
Oscar Piastri
He blinks at you like his brain hit a blue screen.
“…That’s mine.”
You: “Yep.”
“…And you’re wearing it.”
You: “Mhm.”
Oscar: deep breath “I need a minute.”
He’s blushing so hard he hides behind his hands.
Racing Bulls
Liam Lawson
He stares. Silently.
Then turns away like a Victorian man seeing an ankle.
“Okay, yeah, that’s actually illegal.”
You: “Illegal?”
“You heard me. ILLEGAL.”
Every time he looks at you he physically crumbles.
Isack Hadjar
“STOP. STOP. STOP. I CAN’T HANDLE THIS.”
He fanboys. Genuinely fanboys over you.
“You’re literally the hottest person alive right now.”
He posts a pic and captions it: “my driver 💙🔥”
Mercedes
George Russell
Drops his water bottle. Doesn’t pick it up.
“Darling… please don’t do that unless you’re prepared for consequences.”
Toto walks by, sees you, and just sighs: “George, keep it professional.”
George: “I’m trying. I’m failing.”
Kimi Antonelli
He blushes IMMEDIATELY. Like tomato-red.
“You look… wow. Um. Wow.”
He can’t stop staring at the zipper and immediately looks away when you notice.
He whispers in Italian because he’s too flustered to speak English.
Aston Martin
Fernando Alonso
He smirks so hard it should be illegal.
“You wear it better than half the drivers.”
Walks around you like he’s inspecting a car he wants to buy.
“Dangerous. Very dangerous.”
Teases you for the rest of the week.
Lance Stroll
He sees you and just shuts down.
Like… buffering.
“You’re— that’s— wow.”
Eventually manages: “You look kinda badass, actually.”
Then takes a selfie with you and smiles at it for hours.
Williams
Alex Albon
Baby boy is too soft for this.
Face red, hands covering his mouth.
“You look s-so good, babe— I don’t know what to do.”
You hug him and he melts like butter.
Carlos Sainz
“MOTHER OF—”
He fans himself dramatically.
“Cariño… estás jugando con fuego.” (you're playing with fire.)
He pulls you close by the waist and whispers,
“I think you should wear it more often.”
Haas
Esteban Ocon
He gasps like someone slapped him.
“You absolutely cannot walk around like that.”
You: “Why not?”
“Because I will start a fight. With everyone. For looking at you.”
Ollie Bearman
He trips.
On air.
“Omg— you look incredible.”
He’s so flustered he forgets how tall he is and keeps bumping into things.
Alpine
Pierre Gasly
He whistles. Loud.
“Baby… BABY… no. Stop. Actually don’t stop.”
He immediately starts planning a thirst trap photoshoot.
“You’re wearing this again later, oui?”
Franco Colapinto
Full sunshine reaction.
Big smile, pink cheeks, bouncing in place.
“You look AMAZING!”
He makes you do a little spin so he can hype you up properly.
Kick Sauber
Nico Hülkenberg
He gives a dad nod.
“…Nice.”
But internally? Screaming.
He takes a picture “for memories” and absolutely stares at it later.
