Lestappen vs Gax

The Holy ship vs The Abominable Ship

[dora49]

as a fellow maxiel girlie i, too, hate lestappen AND rucstappen. Are we losing the ancient texts? The holy scriptures? Max NEEEEDS his older man, come on now. I do think that (at least on the lestappen vs maxiel discourse) something that a lot of people are afraid of admitting is that lestappen is more popular partially because charles leclerc is just more conventionally attractive than daniel ricciardo. Which sucks because the chemistry with maxiel was off the charts. Max could've made out with Daniel in public and the lestappies would've still found a way to make it about leclerc because he looked his way for 0.0002 seconds. Pinterest in particular is super guilty of this imo

We are indeed losing the ancient texts and and holy scriptures. Even the number 3 can't help us anymore. Everyday there are 5-6 Lestappen and Rustappen fics on Ao3, more videos. Even the fucking official accounts are getting involved (that's a whole other thing about keeping rpf in rpf places not official account for engagement) I have seen red Bull videos in which Max has mentioned Russell's name ONCE while guessing smth. And immediately every comment was "omg Rustappen"

In pintrest too, if a click the wrong thing immediately I'm bombarded by Lestappen. It's genuinely irritating as it shows up on completely unrelated things. If Max looks at leclerc mentions him. Or if they drive similarly ONCE (like the 360 incident) it's immediately the most popular thing ever.

But yeah you're right the conventionally attractive things also helps Lestappen (personally Daniel is better obviously) along with that, there is also the narrative of Charles being Max's rival being pushed. But honestly no one truly knows how good Charles is or isn't because of Ferrari fuck up (but personally it's 4xwdc vs 0, and more CONSECUTIVE race wins in a season than Charles's whole career. So rivals? Hmm)

That's why Lestappen and Rustappen are getting popular the official accounts push it. While Maxiel always seemed more natural even though red Bull may have emphasized it. But thier interaction with Daniel in McLaren clearly proved they actually like each other.

Plus the whole Kimi is Max and George's child. Look I adore Kimi. He's good. But I hate the George is his mother thing again especially on official accounts to create engagement.

And finally... Maxiel sounds sooo much better than "LeStaPpEn" Or "GaX"

Ps. Thank you so much for this!! You are the first person to send me this you have no idea how much it means to me. I'm so honoured. Thank you!! ❤❤❤

Real thing that happen btw. Never seen him do that with Russell or leclerc

can’t decide what's making me more mad today: Max not winning, or Kimi not getting to hold Max's waist on the podium because Russell's on the top step 🙄

I started to sob of joy in a street because i finally founded that im not the only who don’t like(HATE) rustappen/gax,

Like this duo make no sense no it’s not an enemy to lover or something else they just really don’t like each other but they have some friends in common ( Alex and Lando ) that’s all, It’s the only thing that binds them a little ( + Toto who wants to replace George with Max it’s binds them too but that’s all )

And no matter how much fanart i see about them, i will never never love this « ship »

After yes you like what you want but ..😔

Not rustappen i don’t understand the vibe

Lestappen forever even if lestappen are probably dead lol

[maxineverstappen]

as someone who actually likes gax for me personally it has always been my way of coping with the fact that i like both george and max. like i cannot understand shipping it if you don't like both of them. anyways any time i see max's face i want to squish him he's like a fluffy hedgehog

wanting to squish him is so real, im so jealous of kelly man. but yea exaclty its a fanfic its a asotry about both of them, it doesnt work when you write george being right about everything and max always being the asshole. theres no point theres no development. in lestappen for example, theres a clear dynamic of charles being too petty and max being too stubborn and it WORKS cuz they both have problems that they both need to sort through. it does NOT for gax esp when george fans write max as if hes hell on earth.

[orsoclerc]

"enemies to lovers" - but its just one person constantly bringing up Max to be relevant and the other minding his own business.

Remember when Charles didn't let Max overtake him and Max LAUGHED!
