reblog this if you are not only okay with booping spams but encourage it. blow up my notifications go buck wild we both get our big funny boop numbers
it's honestly funny that i'm so nervous for this match, i really wasn't nervous at all before arsenal because i was sure we'd lose badly. it really is the hope that kills you
So … this happened.
The Formula 1 community — and sports fandom as a whole — needs to have a serious conversation about the dangerous commodification and objectification of athletes.
And I know, I write fanfiction — what right do I have talking about any of this? But there is a reason why the cardinal rule of fanfiction is to keep it far removed from those featured in it. Because those of us who create and consume it know about the importance of boundaries.
Boundaries … that are repeatedly being crossed by so-called fans who choose to forget that Formula 1 drivers and all athletes are human beings while sickeningly violating their privacy and encroaching on their safety in real life.
Things need to change.
This is an issue of morality, dignity, and security. It cannot continue.
no because. the schumacher surname makes you motorsports royalty and whether you like him or not everyone knows who ralf is and he came out, and it's so so important. because this is a sport that loves surface level activism but won't go any deeper and now we have a SCHUMACHER who is out and proud and in your face. and no one can deny it. someone who raced on the grid, who knows exactly how hard it is. and you have to applaud the bravery regardless of what you think of him. and i hope that if there's anyone else on the grid, in the sport, who is also queer, that they see this, and they know they're not alone.
just a gentle reminder to write what you like, read what you enjoy, and don’t let anyone shame you for it.
this is my limit. losing to saarbrücken. fine. we've been weird in the pokal lately. losing to leverkusen. ok. they are really good this year. but losing to dortmund at home? i need tuchel to leave my club TOMORROW
landoooooo
People telling me that I shouldn't be sad about a game, man you don't understand what it's like to have an emotional bond with a team, to be happy with them and to be sad with them, it seems silly to them but to me it's what has kept me afloat, so yes I feel sad about a game but it's because I see the players as people and I feel attached to them because even though they don't know it they have helped me at my worst moment
I admit it, some tears have escaped me.
Danke, Poldi.
