trig (?) anon again! (the love of your life 😵💫 im blushing. oh and um. fore warning for excessive use of brackets)
this is going to be long ahhh (it could be longer but do i/you want to bring calculus into this... i’m doing a maths degree and my calc final is on Friday so im semi-counting this as revision lol)
but YES the way lewis is going to infinity in each cycle… who’s doing it like him fr (also the fact that you aren’t like. doing maths but you can still draw the #connections between trig functions and sebcedes… iconic doesn’t even begin to cover it)
and yesss sico literally being each other but a little bit to the left!! (I can’t remember for the life of me who wrote it ive got a mind like a sieve so im extremely sorry if it was you but the fic where there’s a film on lewis’ life and nico goes to watch it only to see that his entire role in The Narrative has been replaced by sebastian…)
:0 the distinction being the trajectory of their careers i didn't even think of that... (ngl, the way cosine looks does remind me more of fernando’s career, given that he peaked way back then and is trying to make his way back up, so essentially the slow crawl of cos from 0 to 2π, while seb’s fall and subsequent crawl wasn’t as torturous imo (suffering in Ferrari is a different suffering to whatever nando was going through in like alpine and mclaren))
also I am so so sorry but I meant to say lewis as sinh and nico as tanh for the basic bitch sewis interpretation 😭😭 with brocedes coming together in the middle and drifting apart while seb as cosh goes down, closer to them during the years brocedes were together, third wheeling on podiums and having fun on both sides of the war, and then lewis joins him, making him the most successful other woman of all time, while nico essentially just… stops. (retires?)
so for me seb (cosh) never touching nico (sinh) is in the ‘you can’t touch your reflection in a mirror + the rule about if you touch the you from another universe/past you then time (maths) itself will fall apart kind of way’ BUT THE SICO UNIVERSE WITHOUT BIG SEWIS IS ALSO!!! I mean everybody wants to rule the world changed me as a human being… so maybe I was subconsciously thinking of it as I was writing…
The fic you're thinking of is this one by the incomparable @blorbocedes btw. Also, if you want to hop in my inbox and tell me more about your math degree, I'm all ears... very fascinated to learn what studies in pure math/number theory etc. look like!
I like your interpretation of sebcedes as hyperbolic functions too! There is frankly something so romantic and devastating about asymptotes and tangents... always approaching something at infinitely smaller angles... intersecting at one point and never touching again! I won't lie I've been watching math videos on youtube lately so I'm definitely in the mood to think about this.
