max CALM DOWN
We stopped talking too early about how Charles in the SF-25 (!) on 15 lap old hard tyres (!) was doing identical lap times (!) to Lando Norris in the McLaren (!) on younger medium tyres (!) for the final few laps!! And not to mention the 29 lap stint on the mediums!!
Tyre degradation? Just say no ✋🥰
This reminds me of that one fic from ao3
what sewis has going with charles
i like to imagine charles was like
"oh a formula one driver as a special guest ? thats coo-
...
you have Got to be fuckin kidding me..."
[ sc from @/charlesandmax on twt :) ]
One Piece but Luffy is flirty as fuck.
This boy was raised on a bar until he was seven. He spend most of his time with Shanks in said bar and idolized that man. He heard so many things.
Then he was sent to live with literal bandits and I'll be damned if those dumbasses never tried to rip off rich assholes by schmoozing em.
There is also Ace and Sabo. These three tricked restaurants into believing they were an adult man. I can't imagine Ace not taking the role a little too far and flirting with waiters. Sabo was raised rich and he never grew out of that gentelmanly passive aggressive flirtation tactics that work on rich women, whick consisted of body language and small touches on the hands, shoulders and hair. After Sabo's incident it was only two of them Luffy would sweet talk people to distract them as Ace piled up dishes from the kitchen.
Worst thing is, he doesn't even know he is doing it. He is constantly using words like: love, honey, sugar, sweetheart, etc... and his crew just gets used to it along with pecks on the cheek and pats on their shoulders, arms, cheeks, legs... They know he doesn't mean anything bad by it but their first meeting were awkward at best.
Luffy: All this heat must be getting to your pretty head, what about you come with me sugar and sail the seas?
Zoro *thinking*: I will kill this guy.
-after all the fiasco-
Luffy: What do you say, love? Ready to go?
Zoro *thinking*: Wtf? I'm... gay?
Zoro: Aye aye, captain.
Luffy *twirling a lock of Nami's hair on his fingers*: You know stealing is bad, kitten.
Nami: Listen here you fuck-
Luffy: I knew your daddy, he was a nice guy, very handsome, just like you.
Nami, Usopp: WTF MAN???
(Zoro is getting the hang of Luffy-ism at the time so he doesn't outwardly react but still feels the shiver)
Luffy: All Blue can have all the fish at the sea, if only I get to keep you, darlin'.
Sanji *panicking bc some weirdo is flirting w him*: Nu-uh. I'm into women. Go away. Go. Just go!
Luffy: *Only ever addresses Vivi as Princess*
Luffy: The real monster is my heart, can't you hear it roaring?
Chopper *a doctor*: What do YOU MEAN YOUR HEART IS ROARING?!
Luffy: Sure u can stay Mama.
Robin: *morbidly curious and entertained*
Luffy: Wow, look at those guns, baby.
Franky: *too dense to know what flirting look like*
Franky: I know right. They are SUPER.
Brook: I can't feel anything. Why? Because I'm all bones and no skin! Yohohohoho!
Luffy: Does that mean you can't feel my love for you?🥺
Brook *panicked*: Of course I feel it! Deep in my bones! Yohohohohoho...
Luffy: You can have my heart mr. tall, dark and handsome.
Law * Slightly suspicious*: No thanks.
Luffy: U sure, sweetheart? It beats for u. *Wink wink*
Law *100% suspicious*: U-huh.
Luffy *At Wano*: Kids! Daddy is back!
Crew: *Cheers*
Jimbe *Resigned after Impel Down plus Marinefors plus Mermaid Island*: Yeah kids, daddy's home!
Everyone is mortified. Straw Hats are the flirtiest bunch u will ever meet. And Shanks doesn't even know what he has created.
acting like an old married couple and it's only testing
Charles sure was enjoying himself
Max was DEVOURING him with his eyes
Just noticed this in Wind Breaker chapter 56. I overlooked this the first time because it's just one panel, but compare Sakura's posture and facial expression here vs. what it looks like when he squares up normally (via chapter 3):
It really looks to me like this kid woke up to find his closest school friends in his apartment and was immediately just like, "Oh, I guess we're fighting now." 🫠🫠
everyone please observe as to how lestapiastri are seated here. Max and Oscar both taking the much more dominant leg folded over the other, alpha cock-sure couch positions. While Charles on the other hand is in more of a submissively arched legs-crossed demurely, chussy facing the world pose.
