first you join the f1 fandom and infect me with carlando and now I need to wake up and watch some tennis twinks and himbos just for them to hug at the net for 0.1 seconds afshdjdnjdkddm
hahahaha I'm sorry? Tennis twinks and himbos lmao TRUE
No but the hug is just a little cherry on top, it's all about what happens before and after. It's about the "I hope we play some more" followed by "yeah, for sure, me too". It's about the fact that Jannik smiles at Carlos like at nobody else, and how Carlos praises Jannik it leaves everyone speechless. It's about "beautiful dropshots" and Carlos blushing, and Jannik's "he's too good for me" when talking about playing golf with him. It's about how they can't exist without each other anymore, because only they can understand how it feels like to be in their position, with huge expectations and the burning desire from everyone else for these two to fill in the void after the big three. The pressure is immense and they can understand each other with just one look. It's about the respect and how they check on each other when the other falls on the ground, instead of celebrating getting a point. It's about their hugs getting more and more intimate with every match they play, about their flat hands on each other's chests, feeling the beat of their hearts. It's about Carlos' joyful yapping and Jannik's precious listening. Everything about their height difference and how their bodies just click when they touch. It's about their different personalities which create a perfect spectacle we all have a huge privilege to experience. It's magic and it's power and it's like oceans clash together and finding each other in every life, in every universe.
It's also about hidden signals that Jannik's suddenly huge buttcheeks send to Carlos but oh well, with them it's all poetry and then sluttiness when it comes to each other and I am no one to judge
drivers spraying each other with champagne while keeping the bottle next to their crotch and watching as the other drivers stick out their tongues and accept it has to be the gayest behaviour in any sport ever created
Hello agata! carlando meeting for the first time (and for the sake of the story lets say carlos doesnt know english as well as he does irl) and having to communicate throught broken sentences and mispronounced word and hand gestures while blushing like crazy and then deciding on lando teaching carlos english while carlos teaches lando spanish and somewhere in the middle of it they fall in love with the language as well as with each other goodbye agata!
I just found it in my askbox and honestly Anja what a gem that is. You are the bestest you are the realest
Sign 1: he teaches you golf and takes you to golf dates.
Sign 2: he allows you to bully him even though he’s older than you (although he does bully you back fondly.)
Sigh 3: he tries to get your ass cultured (food and language) despite how hopeless you are.
Sign 4: looked like his soul got stolen from him when you crashed in Belgium.
Sign 5: he seems physically unable to take eyes, attention or hands off of you during the parade and personal space seems like an unfathomable concept seriously dude what the fuck?!
What else did I miss?
n-nothing, you summed it up perfectly, I just-
I just need- mate hold on a minute- hold on a minute I-
what do you think of lando tying carlos' hair into a manbun
this is random but for real i think the intimacy of that act in itself will make me crumble like no one has ever touched carlos' hair for reasons apart from haircuts and celebration like "YEEEAAAAH GO CARLOS ruffles hair" but. to tie hair. now thats. very. idk. its something.
Clover, your idea is amazing and I absolutely love it, allow me to write something short for you then.
The way Carlos sits on the couch would be enough to perfectly describe the feeling of disappointment.
He sighs deeply and closes his eyes, trying to control his thoughts, but he can't. All he can see is the painful truth - just one lap, one more lap and he would have overtaken Pierre. He would have won at Monza. But he didn't.
And that hurts, after everything he has given to this sport. Carlos is not stupid, he knows his time will come - or so he hopes - but the nasty, cold feeling hasn't left him since the podium celebration. He doubts it will for the rest of the day.
With his eyes still closed, he tries to calm down his breath. And, of course, as he wished for - he finally hears the familiar steps, and just five seconds later the familiar weight on the couch next to him. But Lando doesn't sit down. Instead, the forever cat he is, he climbs on the couch's frame and sits behind Carlos, both legs spread widely so Carlos, still with his eyes closed, can lean back and rest between them, surrounded by the warmth and strenght he knows so well. And then, all of a sudden, Lando runs his fingers through Carlos' hair and kisses his head.
Carlos shivers at the contact, the emotions running fast and wild through his veins and his mind taking all of his willpower to not get physically frustrated about his lost. He should be happy with the second place. And yet-
"I know it's not what you wanted," Lando says, his lips brushing against Carlos' hair. "And I know you're angry."
Lando understands him like no one else. He never says those dumb things people usually say in such moments. No "you should be happy with P2" or "it will be better next time" or "get it together". Because Lando knows what racing means. The right time to hear such statements will come soon, and as true as they are, he doesn't need to hear them right now. Right now they mean nothing. Tomorrow it will help, but not yet.
"Just, you know, hmm, I'm here, and you're not alone in this," Lando struggles to say; he still does, still not the best at expressing his emotions through words. But he tries. For Carlos.
He squeezes Carlos' sides with his legs a bit, a hug that makes the corner of Carlos' lip twitch a bit - still not a smile, but good enough for now.
And Lando runs his hands through Carlos' hair again, but then leaves it, and Carlos frowns and almost pouts. Where are his well deserved touches? Huh?
So he cracks his left eye open and looks at their reflection in the mirror. He sees Lando who removes the hairband from his wrist and then, before Carlos knows it, he gently grabs Carlos' hair and tugs at it, too gentle for Carlos' need right now.
He purrs anyway, closing his eyes again, and he can feel Lando's smirk. Bastard. Knowing him all too well.
"Later," Lando says, trying not to chuckle.
But, what has the handband to do with- Oh.
Now he gets it, feeling how Lando's hair try to tame Carlos' wild, longer hair. And so he allows Lando to tie his hair in a man-bun.
It's new to them, this thing, and it somehow feels like one of the most intimate moments they have ever shared.
Carlos lets out a massive sigh, the nice feeling of his hair being tied up relaxing him, and he reaches out to run a hand against Lando's calf, giving it a squeeze. Resting there.
Lando's arm wrap around Carlos' neck and he rests his chin on Carlos' head, swaying them both a bit to the left and to the right.
For now, staying in the nest of Lando's body, in the nest of Lando's presence, it works. As always. And he doesn't think of anything else.
lando really gives me the vibes of someone who married young? like in their earliest 20-ish? and you will wonder how tf this gremlin is married…
and then you see his husband and the way their interact with each other and be like “ah i understand now…”
see but for example I am (personally of course, you do you) pretty much not into the idea of marriage and definitely not into the idea of getting married at a young age, yada yada, but with Lando and Carlos it's SO different. Like for me, not even personally I am not a fan marriage, I don't really like this concept in popculture as well, but THEN I look at Lando and I am totally the same like you said - he absolutely gives me this vibe! And it's so surprising? Like it almost doesn't make sense but absolutely feels right at the same time? You see this young bloke and you see him in a funny pink hoodie, wearing a beanie with a pom pom, streaming silly things on twitch and chewing bubble gum and falling asleep in the cockpit of his car and THEN you see his fancy black ring with two golden lines elegantly engraved on it and you think "oh, okay?" but then you take a closer look and he notices and smiles and says "yeah, my husband knows me, he knew I'd like a ring like that, it looks cool, right?" and you choke on your coffee because what? this kid is married? you just saw him pouring orange juice into Danny Ric's shoes and giggling like crazy and now he's telling you he is ma- oh. oh but it's the exact moment when Carlos enters the room and it's like the air changes.
Like the whole atmosphere changes and becomes so cozy and safe and warm and you think "what the hell" and Lando smiles like he never does with other people and Carlos comes closer to him and yes, he may nod at you and smile and say a small "hello" but then he quickly focuses on Lando and Lando only, who is still sitting with his legs crossed and a phone in his hand because he has been playing Angry Birds. Lando smiles at Carlos who lifts Lando's chin with his delicate fingers and places a soft, gentle kiss on Lando's lips, and you once again think "what the hell?!" because this feels like some movie scene and not real life, the kiss is short and rather quick but it doesn't seem rushed? It doesn't seem casual or out of habit? It seems like the first kiss they share, because of the attention and dedication they put into it, but at the same time they are so relaxed and so sure and calm and it all looks like they've done it a million times (which is probably the truth) but it's not sickeningly sweet? It's nothing that makes you uncomfortable? Because then Lando chuckles and starts a very mate/pal/buddy conversation with Carlos and fistbumps him (!?!?!) and they have this sweet and honestly very funny banter going on? and you find yourself laughing with them and joking with them and yes - Carlos looks at Lando as if Lando hung the fucking Moon, but at the same time he doesn't look blinded by the love he has for him? You quickly discover that they disagree on some things but their conversation is not mean, they are talking about Lando's new painting-artistic room in their house and Lando has some ideas but then Carlos gives him some advice on the practical side and Lando nods and they find some compromise and you think, again, "what the hell??????" because normally people start a huge fight in moments like this and blow things out of proportion but these two disagree and then high five each other (high five each other?!) and then Lando kisses Carlos' cheek and Carlos shoves him gently, laughing, and then pulls him closer to himself and kisses his forehead and Lando chuckles and says "uhhh disgusting" but then HE kisses Carlos' lips and you think "WHAT THE HELL" because this is so magical, so natural, not forced, so... friendly? Like how many couples are actually best mates? These two, for sure, are. It's so romantic but not cheap, and it's so beautiful but not for show. And then Lando tells Carlos to drink more water and Carlos tells Lando to sleep more and it's so equal? So balanced? They are just partners in crime? Best friends! Lovers! Family! Lando is younger, yes, and he got married when he was very young, but now you understand why.
They were created from the same star and now they found each other on Earth again and are together and it all makes so much bloody sense.
Lando is the definition of a "if it fits, I sits" - and Carlos' arms are exactly it.
okay but hating on daniel now is not cool either, and I've seen some people doing it today, not you but others?
??? I haven't seen any hate. I just see we're all (rightfully) disappointed in this man. People rush to call constructive criticism or honest opinion hate so much... we can all like Lando Carlos Max Daniel whatever and still pin point what they did wrong and we shouldn't ignore their ignorance. Do I like Daniel? Sure. Was he being an ignorant idiot today? Fuck yes. Normalise being disappointed or even angry with your favourite drivers lol
