one piece is the ideal media to me because its character driven and its the longest thing ever and, most importantly, there's zero romance. none of the main cast are romantic w/ each other in canon. this leaves fanon to explore the interpersonal dynamics of relationships & attraction in whatever way we want bc its literally all genfic material in canon

thinking about max and gp and how poetically their relationship has evolved is so very bittersweet.

i mean, imagine you're gp and you go to red bull racing in the hopes of being race engineer to four time world champion sebastian vettel but then vettel leaves the team and for a while, you race engineer kvyat. which is less grandiose than you expected but it's fine. it's normal. you're used to it. then kvyat gets replaced by this kid. an 18 year old. and suddenly, you're not sure how it'll go because you're only one of two people in the sport (at the time) to have race engineered an 18 year old. then said kid wins his first ever race and you're the first person to congratulate him. the first out of seventy-something congratulations you give to him.

and this kid is feisty and terrifying on track and everyone and their mothers are saying he should be removed. but he's also the 'kid' in the team whom you look out for on track and whom you joking say "go away" to when he annoys you. whenever he crashes, you ask him if he's okay and sometimes he stars talking about the car first so you ask again and you'll probably keep asking till he replies. once he crashes into the barrier at 51g and you ask him if he's okay and he doesn't say anything for a while until he does. then he becomes a world champion and you scream just as loudly as he does. the first voice he hears across the finish line. his first congratulations yet again. and then he keeps on winning and you keep on growing closer.

he swears at everyone on the radio. at the other drivers, at the stewards, at the fans. anyone he can think of. and he laughs off the fines and says he doesn't care. but one time he swears at you and he says he regrets it because your family may have been watching. it's the one and only time he's apologised for his radios. whenever he gives you attitude, you tell him to do it himself but by the next lap, you're working as a team again. he promises to name a cat after you and he probably will. you tell him you won't race engineer another driver because you're no longer used to normal. you're used to him. and that's not fair on anybody.

he tells you when there's a lizard on track. he asks where you are when someone else talks to him instead of you. he reminds you to stay hydrated. most of the team he called a family slowly leaves but he stays so you stay too. and maybe the reason he still keeps calling this abandoned house a home is because you're still here.

and when he doesn't have a good race you reassure him that he did his best. you comfort him sometimes even though you don't need to. he wins four championships and you congratulate him on each one. and then when the fifth, and likely your last together, is just within reach, all your efforts fall short. you may still want to praise him for the comeback and for fighting against all odds but you will also likely never be the first to congratulate him for a championship again so you find yourself crying. and this time he comforts you.

and of course you have to think about your own career as you have every right to. and of course there's a better offer and while you can just take it, you ask him first. and he could ask you not to take it because you're the best race engineer he could ever have. but you're also his friend so he says yes, take the offer. and so in a year or two, you won't be the one congratulating him over the finish line. but you will still probably cheer for him, at least quietly.

you came to red bull racing to become race engineer to a four time world champion and one way or another, you're going to leave red bull racing as race engineer to a four time world champion. that kid made sure it was all worth it for you.
