hiiiii love what do u think are the top 5 best landoscar moments? like the oh fuck save it for the hotel room after when ur not on camera, guys type moments

hello lovely 🫶 i love this question! makes me go back through some landoscar moments and i always love going down memory lane! (also i wrote more than i expected so buckle up!)

to start off, we have my all time favorite moments that is the “i like your so kindness, too.” everything you could ever ask for from landoscar is summarized in this short little clip. like. oscar wasn't doing that for the media or for the cameras. he deliberately told the team to ignore him and focus on lando all the while looking at the aforementioned man with nothing but fondness and love in his eyes. he wasn't expecting the video to include him which to me makes the quote even more tender because it wasn't meant as a soundbite or anything, it was just meant for lando and oscar. and yeah. a soft hotel room moment, if you will.

up next, we have another moment that is also forever engrained in my mind, which is the whole of the wcc celebrations. lando and oscar telling netflix to fuck off because they're celebrating with their team? cunt. they said that this is not for the public cameras. and then don't even get me started on the pictures we got from this night. like they're definitely a "save it for the hotel room after when you're not on camera" type moment.

moving on, we of course have lando thanking oscar after his first win in f1. i spoke of how that moment seems to encapsulates their relationship and also if i could add to that, i would just like to uh, mention praise kink oscar coming in full force in that instance. like yeah, praise that man lando. thank him for your contributing to your first ever win in f1 when you know he had a less than stellar race and needed a pick me up. watch oscar preen from the praise. just. lando comforting oscar in the best way he knows how to when they have cameras in their faces and can't get too deep.

wow okay. this is getting way longer than i anticipated sorry! but moment four! this was actually so unhinged from oscar. the "i'm going to keep you happy" quote??? fucking insane. brain chemistry? rewired. life? changed. like that's rookie oscar letting lando dictate the rules to the game (when there are no rules to begin with) and bending ass backwards to keep his teammate happy. okay. the service top and bratty bottom is really coming into play here and let's just end it at that for now...

alas we arrive at moment five and it just has to be them going freak4freak. the infamous deodorant press-con. there's just no explaining this. lando's out here sniffing oscar and oscar's out here offering lando a better whiff. this right here is the definition of save it for the hotel room when there are no cameras. sniff each other in private.

honorable mentions below the cut!

- them being possessed by the imola couch. get a room.

- the miami couch. what is with them and couches??

- lando's obsession with oscar's bottom. again, get a room.

thanks for reading my ramblings! this got way longer than expected (and i can definitely go on for longer trust) but i hope you didn't mind my ramblings! and again, thanks for this ask!

THE FUCKING SIZE DIFFERENCE BW THE PINKIES OH MY GOD

OH THAT'S CRAZY every time i see a photo that showcases their hand size difference, my head starts spinning. it's crazy.. like look at them

[papayasector]

to be fair, the weather in the netherlands is both rn 😭 it’s chilly in the shadows but sooo hot in the sun

(x)

that's a good point haha! on the other hand, you can never fully tell what the weather is just by looking at them

[papayasector]

adding to the hand size difference comp but also not really but also js look at them. lando’s expression can someone hand me a gun

(x)

someone sedate me. why are they like this. what is the reason.

like. just get married??

i keep rewatching that video of oscar smiling after lando thanked him and I just love how his first smile + head tilt were so endeared almost Iike he thought lando was about to say something really poetic and thoughtful about him, then lando says something so typically bratty and cheeky and silly and so *lando* and oscar can't help but grin skdjdhsj

(x)

and i feel like that kind of encapsulates their relationship, right?

cause on a day where oscar's race was not necessarily the best, lando still made a point to include oscar in his little speech (as he so regularly does!) in a typical, cheeky lando way.

and oscar's first reaction to the thanks is just. fond. unexpected. tender. because wow, the guy that you have been following all throughout his career and got to witness his first ever win is thanking you when you're race left much to desire.

like, oscar didn't expect that at all, but lando has to make sure that oscar's efforts were appreciated because he understands the harsh realities of the sport. even though they're professional athletes, everyone needs a reminder that their efforts are seen and respected. but you know, lando is still our beloved lando and he goes about it in the most lando way. which means that even though it may not inspire poets, it does make oscar laugh and smile with him and that's what matters :)

i have NEED for crofty to commentate on landoscar. like literally any landoscar interaction. or just landoscar in general. like can u imagine what he'd sayyyyy (keep in mind his comments on brocedes. like are u joking.)

that man has given us so many iconic lines throughout his time.

like. we've already gotten the "papaya rules: if you're going to take each other out, make sure it's for dinner and not in the race" commentary and that's still wild to think about. what else does that man have prepared for landoscar? because i know for a fact that crofty is a true rpf supporter (source: "everything but a lover" about brocedes. enough said.) and he'll probably say something ao3 writers wish they came up with first.

he's just dropping these lines out on live television and just thinking about what else he can conjure up is just ahjdhdieke
