marshh, tell me what made you like landoscar so much (individually and as a ship)?
at first glance i said to myself i have no idea they just put their claws in me and forced my hand???
but looking at it further i think it’s because i can relate to both of them and their dynamic so much
i first felt an attachment to lando because he’s so himself unapologetically, so incredibly kind, and the shifting of his personality in different settings (yet still himself) really drew me in because i feel/do that within myself as well
then i saw more media of oscar and realized he’s the same as lando just in a different font. more reserved but still unapologetically himself (even a little cringe sometimes which i relate to HARD), so kind and respectful, tries to get the best out of things even if it’s hard to.
and their dynamic is so cute to me bc it almost resembles the grumpy/sunshine trope (which is one of my favorites IN FICTION, maybe not real life 🥲). like oscar’s not grumpy really but he definitely is more chill while lando tends to carry the energy. but it’s also unlike a lot of pairings in the f1 side of things which i found interesting. lando treats oscar differently than he treats others—he’s softer for the most part, doesn’t poke fun at him too harshly. it’s like he has a soft spot scooped out just for oscar (cuteeee). and oscar doesn’t mind lando’s chaos for the most part—he finds lando endearing and plays along/or pushes back on lando’s shenanigans. i feel he finds it a good opportunity or outlet to engage in a little bit of whimsy and be himself.
even though they’re both the same at heart which i think draws them to like/understand each other, they can be widely different. adds a layer of something new that each of them can experience/learn from each other. overall theyre so soft (i’m a softy) yet they can be spicy sometimes with landos brat tendencies that i love.
sorry this was a whole novel, hope you liked seeing inside my brain though ☺️
