OH MY GOD

also i'm dying at the pb

[reticence]

HAHAHAHA his squats god he probably does do squats and all the embarrassing stretches though like a responsible athlete would before/after his workouts though. He's mostly into doing the cardio but not so big on the weights though so like. He'd likely do running and stretching and pull ups and sit ups and have the same monotonous routine every time he goes bc that's the sort of guy he is, he likes to do things on schedule and the right way.

Also jam partners sounds great, he has this awkward grumpy Irish man vibe but he's also a really great musician, once they'd get down to it! He's a really great support guy too, he'd honestly prefer it if everyone else got the spotlight instead of him.

LOL HI Fai is totally okay with cute Irish shadows, Irish accents are the best and Fai will probably gush all over Faolan for it :3

The flirting probably won't get too crazy since Fai does have a boyfriend (see Kaiba below here!) but I'm sure some form of shenanigans will ensue. I'd say Fai will try not to worry Faolan too much but hell I'd be lying ;)

[anguinous]

Well like

They're both blond trashy French regency?? Although Laurent is Faux-French canonly so yknow

~~Veretian~~

LOOK

IT WORKS

[flowrite]

omg more impetus for Kaiba to learn French why do they keep looking over at me and laughing I need to know what they're talking about :D :D :D

[splinten]

IT REALLY DOES??? I LOVE IT i haven't actually read captive prince but i feel like giving it a Reign pb is deeply fair

[anguinous]

I mean its terrible

But also

I appreciate its terribleness

You know?

Like when you read it as a member of fandom you can 100% recognise its tropes

BC it was first published on LJ as someones lengthy fic

[alitaba]

when else will he get the opportunity |D

Futabs can introduce him to video and Bakura can introduce her to tabletop. Together they make snarky LPs. and the world shudders in fear.

[splinten]

that explains like everything about it in a phrase honestly

and I can respect that?

[anguinous]

LEGIT

I will say its better written than most things in that style but like the first book is a wild ride before she settles into making constructive fantasy plot

The first book I was like 'why does anyone like this'

The end of the third book i was like 'I AM MAKING A LAURENT ACCOUNT I WANT TO SAVE HIM FROM ALL THIS'

[anguinous]

God its such a trashy canon but I love Laurent so much


BUT YES I am like -- low key aware of Kaiba?

I do not know which version of the thing I watched I just remember BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON and lots of HEH

From this abstract series of memories I think they would get along sassing each other, and YEAH I dont see why he couldn't have had dealings with them if he is advertising in Europe especially!

Equally since Fai is setting up a familial sort of friendship they could meet in person through Fai and Kaiba can be Overwhelmed by the Sudden Amount of Frenchness surrounding him.

[anguinous]

Laurent would do it just to wind him up

[splinten]

two things

1) i had no idea it was a book series
2) no lie i thought it was a manga until this discussion, so you surprised me and then SURPRISED ME WITHIN THE SURPRISE

[knivstikker]

Perfect, she will bug him to vary it up a little, c'mon life is more exciting that way, that's why she does like a billion different sports/workout types. She just gets really bored. She'll invite him along!

Oh no, watch it, you'll fluff her ego.......

[anguinous]

HAHA REALLy

Yeah it is a book series

written by an Australian lady

SURPRISE

[anguinous]

AW YES Laurent adores his brother so any friend of his brother is someone to like

protect viciously to the point of murdering anyone who looks at him funny

[hauhra]

bakura would just laugh in his face tbh BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS UNTIL NOW LMAO who knew kashuu would be the mentor figure bakura can disappoint... i'm so sorry kashuu

OH, BOY. good thing bakura isn't homicidal in recolle then... he might still try to imitate the chocobo heist if he ever hears about it though just to see if he can get away with it (unsure)

[splinten]

my world has been UPENDED although in retrospect this all makes sense






ok but yeah. dirk: gay (deeply crushing on his bff though) horse-loving political and critical of news media being used to manipulate forces. he probably wouldn't like. pick a fight with the kiddo though that seems unfair? Laurent is like 20 he is probably not to blame.

[wantshappiness]

Before I am able to add anything remotely useful I need to get this out of the way first: SOMEONE IS APPING FROM ARE YOU ALICE??????

Okay. Um. Actually, I don't have much in terms of useful things to add. But Yuuri also has some abandonment issues and her mom is in coma so. Bonding?

Also she has a cat.

[sotenbori]

i cant wait for this cr

[sotenbori]

She could work at majima's host club!! He doesn't let anyone touch his employees it's all just talking and he takes really good care of them

[hauhra]

It's perfect let's do it

[sotenbori]

points at eye(s) points at you work for majima

[anguinous]

in RETROSPECt eh

fingerguns



Also its true he isn't at fault but hes still a billionaire you can pick on him, he'll just sass you right back
