Drawing Them Literally Reduces My Anxiety

I don't know what this was supposed to be but have at thee

What will it take to get the thesis 👀👀

literally nothing, i will talk about brocedes on the internet for free any day of the week.

okay so, one of the things i find fascinating about it is that it's only that clue "i love to drive but i don't really like the attention and media that comes with the job" that lewis seems to focus on. because nico was a monaco princess and has never done any kind of manual labour in his life let alone national service. look at the video of him trying to chop down a tree for an environmental project with his extreme e team if you don't believe me. but lewis ignores that (maybe because the woman says that he'll get it after the next clue). kimi is the obvious choice for a driver who hates media, but lewis was never especially close with kimi, but he was close with nico. and nico did hate the media and the attention that came with formula 1.

something that he and numerous other people around him have said consistently throughout his career is that he's shy. one journalist specifically said that it was a finnish kind of shyness, where he was hesitant to share parts of himself with the world. although i think will buxton's "contenders" article is ridiculous, there are some important things in it. buxton says that nico tried to take control of the questioning during press conferences etc. and if you follow his career, you see that where nico has shared himself with the press and with the world it is very much on his terms. he wanted to be able to be the one to define himself and his image, and it actually backfired spectacularly several times because a lot of journalists in motorsport (will buxton for example) really resented it and became more negative in response.

a lot of people look at the media from nico's career and think that he was very boring or uptight or had no personality. and the truth is that he's actually incredibly fascinating but it never came across because he disliked the media aspects of the job so much (in fairness the media also hated him for just doing his job, and he literally once got told to smile more during an interview because they disliked his demeanour).

even when you look at things like his youtube channel, it was very much the first thing he tried after leaving f1, and since exploring more and finding other projects to be passionate about he's significantly decreased his usage (to an upsetting level to those of us who loved it). when he comes to commentate races it's because he loves racing. like i truly do not believe you can listen to nico talk about max verstappen's driving as art and not think that he's there because he loves the sport and even if he's not racing anymore the love is still there.

another factor for me is that nico's been surrounded by the media and fan attention since he was a child because of his father and his surname. there are photos of literal toddler nico in the williams garage with his parents. the first time he ever met jenson button and jenson nearly threw hands with a 12 year old is immortalised in photos. nico signed his first autograph at nine, because a fan of his dad's said "just in case". the media and the attention has been an intrusion on his life for literally his entire life. you can see from the way he's very careful about what he posts of his children that he wants to give them privacy and respect in their childhood. i do think the media intrusion etc. is significantly worse now than it was when nico was growing up, but i do think that nico's own childhood experiences have influenced the way he parents his children.

and coming back to lewis, the truth about lewis and nico is that they really were best friends. for a while they were pretty much each other's only friend. nico does know lewis better than most people in the world and lewis knows nico better than almost anyone in the world. that just comes with growing up with someone and being there for the life moments that come to define them. so lewis knows that nico is a bit shy, and he knows that nico has never liked media attention. and even though kimi is the absolute obvious choice for disliking media, the first person lewis thinks of for that is nico. because lewis can never forget nico

I've seen a lot of people recently posting these little pics and web weaves i make (usually brocedes related) on either Pinterest or even here (or maybe on other platforms, too) without leaving any credit for me or a mention or nothing. please dont.

i post this stuff here & on my own Pinterest account and also on tiktok as well. it's a little hobby of mine which i do on my own device, spending some time on creating them.

if you like 'em, simply repost/reblog them from my own account. and, again, please don't post them on Pinterest. i already do that there.

Dazai flirts with everyone for fun, but when it gets serious and they flirt back, he explodes and his brain stops working. He blushes and babbles like a fish out of water.

When Chuuya realizes, add 1+1, oh boy, the real fun begins.

Something that I was thinking about here, because at first glance when I was reading this I was like ok Dazai's just being a little shit yknow average Dazai.

But the more I looked into it, the more I thought about something. Before this, Chuuya is like oh we need to think of a plan right? And we later find out that Dazai was already putting his plan in motion with this conversation. We all know that Dazai LOVES to be cryptic and hide messages within his jokes and offhanded comments, so what if this was Dazai saying that "Don't worry, everything is already being handled."

And Chuuya's "Nobody would believe that shit" (the fact that Dazai is human), is Chuuya's way of forcing Dazai to be real. Not in a sense of "oh be realistic," but almost in a sense of "don't detach yourself."

Chuuya forces Dazai to be real. Dazai forces Chuuya to think beyond brute force with his cryptic messages and plans.

Or maybe I'm overthinking this...who knows?
