Hi :)

I've gotten a lot of new followers recently, so I figured I'd post a bit of an introduction. This blog usually follows whatever my current hyperfixation is, and it is definitely not structured. It mostly lives off of reblogs, though I'll make the occasional original post. I'm here to have fun, and I'm happy to talk to people. I try to keep this post as updated as I can on current hyperfixations.

My favourites: Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, and Alex Albon. Also Oscar Piastri, but he's currently in timeout due to McLaren. In a toxic relationship with Ferrari. Always love the rookies. And rpf includes: Lestappen, Brocedes, and occasional Galex.

Nopes: McLaren (not Oscar), Lando Norris, George Russell (im sorry to my george moots)

Tennis

My ATP favourites: Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alex De Minaur, Flavio Cobolli, Learner Tien, and Casper Ruud. rpf includes: Sincaraz, Benflavio, Fedal.

My WTA favourites: Iga Świątek, Jasmine Paolini, Mirra Andreeva, Vicky Mboko, Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff. hyped for the new gen girlies. rpf friendly with many ships.

Nopes: Zverev and Kyrgios

what fans could and should do is recognize that their favourite athletes choose whether to praise zverev's slam or not for reasons of personal branding that have nothing to do with their personal relationship with him. for example, both carlos alcaraz and eva lys are allegedly on friendly terms with him, but lys won't post about his winning in her stories because that would be detrimental to her everybody-likes-her image, which is the main selling point of her marketability. while alcaraz would congratulate zverev in public because his brand is about being gracious with his peers, and also because he's carlos alcaraz. which gives him considerably more leverage than… being eva lys. given that every action made in the public eye by celebrities is a power move, making lists about “good” and “bad” people based on whether they made a congratulatory story yesterday is simply missing the mark.

okay. still planning on generally keeping off this site for a few days as i’m sure many are but i’ve been ruminating on this and think it’s important to keep in mind. i apologize for talking about this continually because obviously, although important, can be triggering and/or painful to read so this will hopefully be my last post about it at least in my own words.

as we’re transitioning to a new surface in the season, i think while it’s so easy to paint grass as a clean slate where we can all move on from what’s happened these past two weeks, i think it’s also important to remember that this new surface doesn’t change anything about what’s happened, about the atp tour’s culpability and blatant complicity in normalizing misogynistic abuse. no matter who on the men’s side we see as our upcoming champions, no matter how many “good” champions or “good” results on the men’s side that we might see… it doesn’t erase the evils of the atp tour with their handling of cases like this and even our faves’ own enabling/silence on the matter. tennis cannot be “saved” by what happens next. i’m not saying we shouldn’t celebrate should things take a “better” turn as we move through the season, but i think it’s important to remember how we speak as the season continues and not to make light out of the seriousness and the pain that a win like this causes to those who’ve experienced abuse, and the pain that the tour’s blatant disregard for justice and safety inflicts every day.

sorry i keep circling back to this but it's kind of batshit insane that charles has been actively driving with no brakes for three weekends now and somehow still respectfully getting results and thought it was just on him to get better then we come to monaco and he now knows from the minute he stepped on track that this is not on him because monaco is his track and he can be fast there with a fucking cadillac

and somehow he persists, almost gets pole, but qualifies p4 and gets to the race and cuts down a 10 second gap to his teammate then gets an obligatory double penalty papaya rules style then a safety car happens and the brakes simply stop working they're not inconsistent anymore no they're just not here as in he presses on the pedals and the pedals don't do anything and he goes into the wall at 40 km/h and he's so angry he does the unthinkable of publicly not blaming himself and pointing fingers at the brakes i mean he's got his confirmation loud and clear it is the god damn brakes

only for brembo fucking brakes to release the most disrespectful statement i have ever read which consequently lead us to find out that his teammate has been using different brakes the past four weekends

what even the fuck goes in the ferrari house of horrors

This whole sport feels rigged. I think that’s the biggest reason I feel so disconnected from this season so much. Because yes of course Ferrari and Charles are not flawless but most of the issues that are visible to the general public are just consequences of this sport being swayed by money and greed.

It has been like this last season where (allegedly) top FIA officials put bets on McLaren to win the championship and lo and behold Lando is the WDC while any new checks or procedures that are created for actually checking that they are within the rules do not do anything.

Also McLaren cheated with break steering, while steering on the rear wheels is specifically not allowed. This should have been much bigger issue that it was!!!

This year is the same just with Mercedes. Anything Toto needs goes, any Ferrari innovation is banned. All the decisions are made with money and nothing else (do not tell me that some decisions are made for safety if that was the case McLaren is banned from this GP because they put marshals in danger of electrocution, they don’t give a fuck about safety).

The broadcast has an incredible British bias and I do not mean specific commentary but the way it is cut and what radios are cherry picked from the bunch. The commentary is even worse of course because the people doing it seam to know less than I do about this sport and what is going on.

My autistic ass has a very hard time with all this unfairness under the veneer.

And now Merc that won it all this year, has additional budget and time for catching up to the competition. Make it make sense. How is that supposed to help the teams get closer?

It's like Toto just points this year on what he wants and he get it.
