Kelly, P, the animals and Max’s discord kittens are going to be so embarrassed when they have to tell Baby Orb that Max is in his flop era (came second in one race)
more importantly my little brother who doesn't watch formula 1 but lives to torment me will check up the results and wait until the next time we see each other just to ask "what about verstappen hmmm?? 🤭" because that's what he does everytime max doesn't win by like 30 seconds.
YO LADS WE WON FUCKING WON
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
@needingsleep liking it with a Mishapocalypse PFP is the kind of validation I need
eleanor shellstrop one of the protagonists of all time honestly. woman who sucks so much who gets put in a situation specifically made to make her worse and instead she gets better. filled with love for other people but replaced it with malice for as long as she could because love got her nothing. went from being selfish for survival to selfless for survival and in the end she lands on being selfless for selflessness's sake. she even has mommy issues. she's even bisexual.
Also i have thoughts about just domestic lestappen:
Charles lounging on the sofa and Max snuggled back into him, head against Charles's chest and Charles stroking his hair as Max plays some geography game on his phone and maxplains it to a very amused charles
Max is the little spoon i don't make the rules
Leo loves Jimmy and Sassy, only one of the cats loves Leo (but they have a treuce when it comes to nights cos they all wanna sleep on the bed with the humans)
They can't really shower together because Charles likes a very warm shower and Max claims he feels like he is being boiled
They still sometimes sit in the bathroom while the other showers when they didn't finish their very (not) important conversation yet
When Max isn't wearing red bull gear, he likes to wear Charles's clothes
They have a long running Mario kart championship between the two of them
I feel like Max would initiate a lot of cuddles and kisses but Charles is the one to deepen the kiss
Just ggrrrr max maxplaining away about something and Charles curls those ringed fingers around Max's chin and drags him into a sloppy kiss
Charles puts up a pic of the two of them somewhere and it inspires Max, who then puts pics of them together everywhere around the apartment
Charles secretly drinks the red bull max always has in stock
There are 2 sim set ups side by side so they can play together (max still does sim racing much more than Charles tho)
Max dozes off when Charles is playing piano and while Charles mock complains about max thinking it's boring, he is happy Max feels safe
On that note Charles teaching Max some piano, sitting behind him on the tiny bench and guiding his hands while kissing his neck and cheeks👀👀👀
Max learns French and Charles loves his little accent
Charles struggles more with Dutch but puts in the effort
Max hoards blankets in his sleep but Charles will happily get them back and just cuddle closer
Max sitting on the kitchen counter while Charles makes eggs (they both suck at cooking)
Charles waking Max up by presses kissing to his spin and shoulders until he squirms👀👀👀👀
Anyways this has turned out to be soft max and slightly dominant Charles and i love it
honestly the boundaries between friendship and romance don’t really matter that much like at all if everyone involved is ok with it
