Yeah I’m not the type who feels guilty or forces myself to like or be a fan of anything someone puts out out of obligation, but I feel like I will always like and care about the boys a lot so it puts me in a weird spot lmfaoo!!
Anon is very right I got into f1 right after ch1 and now I’ve watched the races in austin mexico and the brazil race and reread ch1 with ch2 and I can appreciate your writing and the story a lot more now that I have the background! it’s like rereading your canon comp fics after getting into and understanding txts vibe and how they are w each other
Real ones remember when you were like FINALLY they realized Kai is sexy and gave him a sexy part in back for more 😭
Birdy, I saw your recent tweet and I'm curious now...
What do you think it's each member asssigned aesthetic rn? Bc i feel like it changed from debut.
a friend of mine wants to get into f1 and i've been easing them into it, we were supposed to watch the race this weekend together but then they ended up having conflicting plans... and thank god for that bc if this was my first ever f1 race idk how i'd handle this sport... also i was miserable the entire time my top3 faves dnf/dsq/dns so i don't even think they would've understood anything bc i was too overwhelmed by everything to explain but god it was such an interesting race... pierresteban no longer toxic yaoi fixed me a little though
- forza ferrari cota anon
Oooof i’m sorry your babies went down in the carnage this weekend! it wasn’t a great race for my faves or for any of my friends’ faves either but the whole watching experience was such a wild ride that that didn’t really matter too much to me and the Pierrestie Healing Joy of Victory was absolutely incredible i can’t stop watching their joint interview vids… best cooldown room vibes in history????
I don't feel guilty about not connecting with txt music as much as I did before, but I do get sad thinking about how much potential they have as a group and how much that potential got wasted... I am not a success stan particularly, but I do think that as an artist you do care about results, and I think that the members do know too that they had this strike of underwhelming releases that kinda set their career back.
i feel u anon! and i agree! i have a lot of sadness about many things about txt’s direction, and i think the healthiest thing to do is just to step back if something that should be bringing us joy is making us sad instead… im sure there are many people out there who Do like the way txt’s content has evolved in the last two years and so its for them, not me…but i don’t think txt will ever rise to the heights they might have been able to rise to now that most of their music is undercooked and generic IMO and their mvs aren’t really doing anything special to draw in new fans for quite some time now also IMO… i think bighit has knifed what was special about txt as an artistic entity for me permanently so ill just appreciate the boys for what they mean to me and find that fandom joy elsewhere. may i recommend formula 1 hshshdhchdhshdhdhdh lots of success u can stan over there…
I have some questions about F1...
I know that they have 2 main drivers and they also have reserve drivers, right? Do the reserve drivers participate in F2 in the meantime or they can't do it?
Also, have a famous F1 driver ever been demoted from main driver to a reserve driver?
yes, each team has 2 cars and 2 main drivers who drive those cars in each race. they also will each have one reserve driver who travels to races with them in case something prevents a driver from competing (illness and a penalty have both been reasons that happened this season). that reserve driver is sometimes an active f2 driver and they’re free to compete in f2 unless they’re racing f1 as a sub that weekend! all the f2 races happen on the same weekends and at the same tracks as the f1 races (just not every weekend of the season) so it’s very easy for a reserve driver to participate in f2 while also being available for f1. and teams will usually have a main reserve driver but also like… back ups who also do reserve driver duties like sim work and promo stuff on race weekends… honestly its a bit confusing but many junior drivers are affiliated with a team’s academy and thus may get called in for various team surrogate responsibilities even if they aren’t like The reserve driver!
it’s definitely the case that f1 drivers who once had a seat have ended up being reserve drivers when they lost it… danny ric was the third driver at red bull for half of 2023 after losing his mclaren drive, for example… but it’s not really common, most of the time a driver who loses his seat goes and races in a different series entirely or retires or moves on in some other way!
hope this was helpful and correct lmao

hey when are you going to update the beomkai F1 au on ao3? im addicted 😭
birdy i think u should do a poll on how many people you’ve converted to f1 since sotto la bandiera rossa cause why am i moving my work hours around to fit in a watch party for the sao paulo gp
Hi! after reading chapter 2 of your f1 fic I have ask how do you go about your writing process that it seemed like you were Kai himself and know about the intricacies of the industry that I assume you have never worked in? Because I very much love the non racing part of the scene where he talked about beomgyu's social media appearances with Laura! but also how immersive beomkai's meeting were Martin were!
is the "rated m (for now)" on your sotto la bandiera rossa twt meant to say it's gonna be explicit or is it more of a safety bracket in case there IS going to be mature stuff later on? not that I'm complaining whichever it is 😁
