this was all at 2 am too and every time I got to the end of a chapter I was having a reckoning with myself between sleep and continuing to read but sleep lost I could not stop myself

- did Max and Kimi meet when Max left/kimi came and were they aware that the other one would be there?

- who else was invited and will take the next shift? Who declined?

- was george invited???

- is coming to the yacht a way to play favourites? Is it a reward for good driving? Is it an incentive for good driving?

- what do kimi and the wolffs talk about privately? Hes 19 ffs, i what do they have in common? Has kimi brought a friend? Is kimi there to entertain the Wolff children (assuming they are also on board)

This is such a fanfiction setting, like, the possibilities? Good god

my questions are:

you have to work a million hours and have extremely limited time off. how could it possibly be that you want to spend your extremely rare time off with your boss/the guy who wants to hire you.

well if max does want to go to mercedes it makes sense like whoring himself (and his family!!!!!!) for that seat rip george

was george invited <- i also want to know this

back to there being limited time off like don't these people have any need whatsoever to just be alone?

they're surrounded by team and press and fans so much of the year do they really not have any desire to just sit quietly in their homes and not be perceived?

do they find it sexy to be wet and undressed around each other?

So currently I answer to my full first name (which I usually introduce myself with) as well as two nicknames/diminutives plus my last name when people mistake it for a first name. There are two or three other nicknames I've also gone by in the past. I'm perfectly fine with this, or neutral at minimum-- I have a common name and have had to be flexible with how I'm distinguished for my whole life. I also don't feel a deep and fundamental connection of my name with my identity, though I think going by another name entirely would confuse me.

A number of friends have been appalled at me being called names I don't say are my name. Which is really weird to me, although I'd go to battle for anyone else who was getting either deadnamed or called something they didn't want. But this perspective seems surprisingly common!
