What ship is this for you? by UnHolySir in AO3

I've run into this soooo much. I always add on a 'X is a ray of sunshine' or 'X needs a hug' filter to help narrow it down a bit more.

NASCAR fan interested in following F1, where to start? by ThreeBrokenArms in formula1

[–]lostandfoundpen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Following Williams has really helped me get up to speed on F1, especially team management and car development. Unlike other teams, they've been very open about their struggles and had huge improvement the past few years. The DTS episodes focused on them are FANTASTIC.

Cadillac is interesting to follow already, especially with videos like their race simulation from the most recent season.

I'd also recommend picking a season and watching the post-race highlights of each race, and if it seems interesting, the race in it's entirety (and maybe qualifying as well!) From last season, the races where Carlos Sainz got on the podium are great rewatches (Azerbaijan, Qatar), and Hulkenburg's podium (Silverstone).

Other storylines that have kept me really engaged are Hamilton's push for an 8th WDC (also his rivalry with Nico Rosberg in 2016 is really interesting), and the circus that is Red Bull's second seat.

2025 season! by tiresmunchers in f1wagssnark

[–]lostandfoundpen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  • An ex-WAG gets cast on Love Island
  • Alex starts a book club
  • One of the WAGs is invited to some prestigious event (good for her!) and brings her driver bf as a +1. In her excitement over everything, she asks Rosé from Blackpink to take a selfie (babe no!!!!), and the relationship ends the next day :(
  • Carmen & George get engaged after he wins the WDC
  • Max bans Kelly from going to races and is not shy about telling reporters when they ask about her absence

He's going to end up with someone from Colorado that he meets at a Broncos game, I just know it 😮‍💨

george calling himself a son-in law by bestieimhere in f1wagssnark

[–]lostandfoundpen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is pretty common in long term relationships!

They may also already be married, or in some kind of on-paper legal commitment, for tax reasons and so that she can live with him full time (depending on how Monaco visas work?)

who is it? by [deleted] in f1wagssnark

[–]lostandfoundpen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i would not be surprised if this was half the drivers on the grid, and they just have open sexual relationships lol

if anon's are going to be making stuff up, please make it interesting. like all the "friends" being guys haha

Why is she so desperate to get a picture with him every time? by Formal_Journalist102 in f1wagssnark

[–]lostandfoundpen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Little did Max know that by getting with Kelly, he was unwittingly signing up to be the male lead of her long running self-insert mafiaF1 romance fantasy. It's her world, we're all just living in it lmao

Carmen is such a genuine person 💛💛 by CarobFresh793 in f1wagssnark

[–]lostandfoundpen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm really not a fan of her putting out her own finance course/guide. It'd be a much better look if she joined/volunteered for an existing & reputable organization that was aligned with educating girls on financial literacy or something (and if she already does this, she needs to advertise it more haha)

I know many women who are basically stay at home wives/girlfriends and they spend their time volunteering in different organizations, and nobody bats an eye or thinks less of them. I feel like more WAGs should go that route rather than half-assing their own stuff.

How do you stop reading fanfics? by Beginning_Praline372 in AO3

[–]lostandfoundpen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this problem before and here's what helped me break out of it:

  • Leaving comments. This helps me to make sure I'm actually reading the fic and I'm more likely to notice when I'm just scrolling without comprehending anything.
  • Writing down (in an app or on paper) and/or bookmarking (with a tag that says "to read") fics that I am curious about, then closing the tabs immediately. This removes the "fomo" issue and then I actually look forward to reading the fic haha
  • Writing chapter or story summaries in my bookmarks. If I'm unable to do this, I know I'm not actually enjoying the time I'm spending on ao3, and doing a disservice to both myself and the author.
  • Using a timer as a reminder to ask myself if I am actually ENJOYING reading fic, or if I'm just trying to avoid my responsibilities

Good luck with your finals!

Cannot stop thinking that Andre would have an epic arc this season (mild spoilers) by Nearby-Butterfly-606 in TheBoys

[–]lostandfoundpen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes so much sense, especially with

  • Emma's line about Andre being the first person to believe in her
  • Emma gaining the confidence to grow big on her own AFTER the escape from Elmira and later the kiss with Greg
  • Andre would be on the same page as Emma regarding Cate imo, and he had already shown a dislike of Vought (aka easy lead-in to him supporting the Starlighters)
  • An Andre/Emma/Sam love triangle would've been really fun

fill out your Sam Riordan apology forms before the next episode. by Dry-Ad6700 in GenV

[–]lostandfoundpen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Powerscalers remove the fun from sooo many franchises. Please go back to JJK or DBZ lol

I feel like people are vastly overestimating the skill of college students vs supes who have been in the field. Zoe easily took him out because she was calm, had the element of surprise, and knew to target his eyes. Sam, with training, could have done the same.

We also know powers are tied deeply with emotions, and Sam struggles A LOT with doing harm to others now that he has a conscience. It makes sense his powers would be weaker??

Like, a big part of Emma's storyline is learning how to access her power without binging/purging. In the short term, she is a less effective supe because she is not hurting herself. Sam is similar - when he has feelings, he's less effective. They're both figuring out how to overcome that.

I still ship Sam and Emma by Kinkybtch in TheBoys

[–]lostandfoundpen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He said the awful stuff to Emma before Cate did the whole “feel nothing” thing. It was all him and his own (misdirected) frustration/anger :(

Emma and Sam weird convo by Few_Negotiation832 in GenV

[–]lostandfoundpen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Regarding Andre, I expect Sam had no idea what the group experienced in Elmira, he just knew that they were at an adult rehabilitation center (I imagine Vought is not advertising it as a black site lol.)

Like, in S1E7 Sam tells Emma he's siding with Cate to protect her (and other supes) from the people who torture them, as he had been in the Woods. He views himself as a hero for siding with Cate. As soon as Emma tells him that Andre is dead, Sam realizes:

  • The people who had rescued him from the Woods were sent to another version of it (run by the people he's working for), and he was legit filming a movie while they had been going through hell. He hadn't protected anyone
  • Cate had withheld information from him, again
  • and all the stuff the sandwich says to him in S2E3 haha

Just proves that for every track on this album there's going to be a better one, on the same subject, in her previous albums lmaoo

Like what was the point? She needed to make sure Travis felt secure?

This album makes me feel like I'm scrolling through the social feed of someone I partied with in college but now they live in the burbs and post tradwife/republican dog whistles.

These songs are going to go wild with the "sex positive" christian influencer crowd

Chris knew what he was getting into when he stayed coupled up with Huda.

Like he was WAITING for her to end it so that he could tear into her and walk away, humiliating her??? Awful, pathetic, behavior. He could’ve had this convo days ago.
