9-1-1 ▸ 4.04 9-1-1, What’s Your Grievance?

I literally mentioned Luis and he scored 🤦‍♀️ ily but no more please

Jinxed it.

not to f1 on main but the fact that nico rosberg and lewis hamilton met as a rich white son of a f1 world champ living in monaco and a poor black boy from a blue collar family in state housing in england who were ostracized from other karting kids for different reasons and befriended each other and grew up having sleepovers in hotel rooms and doing setups for each others karts and going on holidays together and G R E E C E..... eating frosted flakes together bcos it was nicos favourite food. being kids who raced but raced together as best friends most importantly. making it through the ranks of feeder. winning junior championships and each getting their gp2 champs. both making it to f1. hugging each other and jumping up and down after both getting on a podium together in 2008. only for lewis to win his 1st championship in his second year. and then, suddenly, end up as teammates with nico in a team that seemed to be a backmarker. only for it to Very Much Not Be That the next year. and lewis kept winning in this team, he got his 2nd and 3rd championships beating the other teams and beating nico. and tensions grew between him and nico as the two became more aggressive in fighting for titles and nico who was so competitive began to break himself down to beat lewis (rethreading his gloves for grip, waking up at like 4am, taking more time away from his family, etc) until they took each other out in spain 2016 in the first corner of the first lap. and things between them reached a point of no return. head to head for every race after until finally nico cinched his first f1 title. on a day where he was so nervous, all he could do was eat frosted flakes. He had finally won but, he'd also lost his best friend. no longer on speaking terms. and after all of that effort nico was so burnt out he retired from the sport completely not even a month later. and he became a commentator. in the paddock, still around. and he and lewis danced around each other for YEARS. it was like they had double restraining orders against the other each. nico brought up lewis whenever he could and lewis did his best to just ignore nico and focus on racing which he did perfectly. he got more championships for himself and mercedes. and this year he called valterri the best teammate he'd ever had. and nico not a week later at a heineken sponsored event was filmed on someones phone sitting down with this big group of people talking about the entire breakdown of his relationship with lewis and how toxic it become like every person there was a fucking therapist with this being FIVE YEARS AFTER HE RETIRED like they had to opposites in grieving this friendship. one reservedly and privately and one loudly and publically. and then later in the year abu dhabi 2021 comes around and lewis is fighting for a championship for the first time since nico and hes asked if hes a better driver than he was in 2016 only to respond "yes. And a better teammate" acknowlegding the breakdown for the first time. admitting for the some fault in the 2 way car-crash that was nico and his equivalent of two super-attached wlw teenagers' homoerotic friendship imploding in on itself into a messy, emotional split. and then not 3 seconds after the clip of him saying this the fucking camera crew cut to the sky broadcast team sitting there in shocked SILENCE for like 5 whole seconds just

this sport made these two men live through a nightmare of a fucking fanfiction level friends/lovers to enemies plot and for whatever fucking reason it happened on international tv

2021: Top 10 Fave Kdramas

1. Move to Heaven (Netflix)

So much heart in this show. If you haven't watched it, do yourself a favour in 2022 and watch this.

2. Happiness (tvN)

If I am being a 100% honest, this tied with Move to Heaven for the top spot. Zombies and a badass OTP.....just perfect.

3. Our Beloved Summer (tvN) - Ongoing

When I watched the first 2 episodes I did not think I would end up loving this show as much as I do right now, 8 episodes in. It feels so bittersweet in the best way possible.

4. Bad and Crazy (tvN) - Ongoing

Every week I just have so much fun watching this show. And male lead with questionable morals? And looks like Lee Dong Wook? Erm yes.

5. The Red Sleeve (MBC) - Ongoing

It's been a while since I've enjoyed a sageuk and I really really enjoy this. There's a good balance of palace politics and romance, plus the chemistry is so good. And angst. Lots of angst.

6. Vincenzo (tvN)

Talking about male leads with questionable morals how can I not include Vincenzo on this list. The cast was just sooooo good.

7. Beyond Evil (JTBC)

Really fantastic writing. Had me on the edge of my seat with every episode.

8. Law School (JTBC)

The final reveal left me a little underwhelmed but the most of the show was a fun watch.

9. My Roommate is a Gumiho (tvN)

The comedy was pretty great in this. The romances were cute. BUT my favourite was the plantonic relationships of this drama. *chef's kiss*

10. Mr Queen (tvN)

Comedy gold. Would have been higher on my list if the ending was a little better. Still, it was a fun time.

Honourable mentions: Run On (JTBC), Squid Game (Netflix), Taxi Driver (OCN), Hometown Cha Cha Cha (tvN), The Silent Sea (Netflix), Blue Birthday (Naver TV)

“How could you do this?” The hero couldn’t hide their pain from showing in the broken words.

“I don’t know what you mean.” The villain’s own face was still, emotionless, their voice cold and lifeless.

“I trusted you. I trusted you and I believed in you and I believed that you could be better, but this—this is…” The hero broke off, brushing the angry tears from their eyes. “You are killing thousands—millions—of people, just to save one.”

“It’s not just one person,” the villain whispered, taking one slow, heavy step closer to the hero. Their trembling fingers, the flash of pain in their eyes, was the only sign that they were feeling anything at all. “It’s you—it’s always been you.”

They stepped closer, took the hero’s hand in theirs, sending shivers down the hero’s spine that froze them in place, unable to move or think or breathe.

“It’s you, and I would burn this world to the ground to keep you safe.”

"I've been gifted all this power Raya- it'd be foolish not to use it."

There is a new book idea brewing in my head and I am terrified (even though I have nothing to lose, quite literally). Although I am very excited for all the research I have to do.

But here's the sneak peek for Elora *no last name yet!* a very soft and delicate girl. However do not underestimate her- she is a gifted, powerful mage. Living in poverty, amongst rebels has taught her a trick or two.

Tbh even if I wasn't a PSG fan tonight it is obvious that PSG is objectively better. They are playing with everything they have and they are bone dead tired but they've been attacking the entire time and now if Real wins with a goal in the finish of the game it is going to fucking suck and be unfair.

So basically I am proud of them tonight 💪

KYLIAN MY GOLDEN BOYYY
