FOURTH ATTEMPT AT UPLOADING THIS.... AAAA

Welcome to the Intergalatic Super Show!!

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

Don't have any quotes for you right now, but some more headcanons! I thought you guys wouldn't care about those, but you seemed to enjoy the last few so oh well, here goes

today: How do they press Pantalone for more money?

Starting off with Pierro: he doesn't really have to. He asks and Pantalone is too scared to say no. Actually sometimes he doesn't ask. He just takes it. Capitano: Asks rarely enough (because he "trusts Pantalones judgement & financial plan"), that Pantalone just gives it to him, on the rare occasion that he needs it. Only ever asks if he actually really needs the money, because he'd feel bad otherwise. Dottore: Bro tries everything. Threats, bribery, begging- it has stopped working, because he does it so often that Pantalone becomes numb to it. Has now taken to threatening the newer Harbingers for money, instead of Pantalone directly. It works with Childe, less so with Arlecchino. Columbina: watches Pantalone sleep until he gives in. Usually only takes one night. Actually he'd probably just give it to her if she asked, but she skips that step and goes immediately to the next one. Arlecchino: gives detailed reports as to why she needs more money, and usually manages to convince him. Some of her requests are straight up denied though, because Pantalone will not pay more magic show equipment, no matter how much she argues that it's for a mission. Tried petitioning the Court of Fontaine to pay her child support from the state, but no one voted in favour. Crucabena: got a lot of money to pay for all the children, and just never told Pantalone that a bunch of them died/got given to Dottore. She eventually just had a shit ton of money left over. If she *does* ask for more money, she waits until after Dottore has asked for an absurd amount, and immediately follows it up with much less money. Pantalone usually gives it to her, because he's already been exhausted by Dottore. Pulcinella: actually, despite what you may think, he (after Dottore) is the one who asks for the most money, to plan events in the city and such. Usually he threatens higher taxes for the rich, if Pantalone doesnt give him money, so he rarely refuses.

Scaramouche: he doesn't. For one, he thinks it's beneath him to ask a human for money, and for another, he doesn't really need it. If he sees something he wants, he can just steal it, he's already a criminal. Doesn't pay for food, so he saves a lot of money that way, too. Even if he DID need money, he'd just sell some trinkets he took with him from the Abyss. Sandrone: sends a giant robot to do the negotiating for her. Not because she wants to intimidate Pantalone, just because she doesn't want to leave her room. Whether it works is a 50/50, but if it doesn't, she'll just rob someone instead. After Crucabena/Signora/Capitano died, she raided their bank accounts, so now she has a lot of private savings. La Signora: Also sees it beneath her to ask Pantalone for money, but thankfully for her, he owes her massive amounts of favours, so she usually just has to insinuate that she wants to cash one of those in. Pantalone: is Pantalone Childe: Hasn't really gotten the memo that Pantalone wants something in exchange, so he usually gets rejected. However, he grew up poor, so the salary he has now is more than enough for him. ...if he didn't spend half of it on Zhongli. Was able to pass that off as costs for the mission at first, but Signora told on him. Now he owes Pantalone money.

No because if I was Viggo I’d ALSO be fucking pissed off?? Like you’re this mastermind dragon hunter that is running possibly the largest operation in the entire of the archipelago that is family owned and ran with your older brother with hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of henchmen to do your dirty work and whenever people even MENTION your name they get scared and you’re this big strong powerful dude in his like mid forties but then a group of mother fucking barely adult stupid ass kids show up and successfully threaten your entire business model? Everything was fine yesterday but then this gaggle of incompetent fools show up with their stupid reptiles and suddenly you’re in a war??? AND the fucking malnourished stick insect of a leader they have has the AUDACITY to steal an ancient relic off of one of your predecessors ships??? AND THEN THEY BLOW UP YOUR ONLY MODE OF LONG FORM TRANSPORTATION??? AND THEN THEY RELEASE A BUNCH OF YOUR STOCK AND SINK THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YOUR PROFITS BY SAVING THE DRAGONS YOU CAPTURED??? WHAT??? MOTHER FUCKER HAD EVERY SINGLE RIGHT TO START A WAR. HICCUP AND HIS STUPID ASS FRIENDS SHOWING UP AND JUST TANKING YOUR WHOLE ASS LIFE??? IMAGINE BEING A FUCKING KING PIN CRIMINAL EXPERT IN DRAGON TRADING AND YOU LOSE AN ENTIRE WAR TO A GLORIFIED WALKING EMBODIMENT OF AWKWARDNESS AND HIS 5 WEIRD LITTLE CREATURES HE TAKES AROUND WITH HIM. IMAGINE HAVING TO SIT THERE IN YOUR COOL ASS DRAGON HUNTER EVIL LAIRE AND PLAN HOW YOU WERE GONNA FIGHT OFF THE LITTLE RUNT OF BERK HEIR GUY THAT WON’T GIVE UP. IMAGINE?? FUCKING IMAGINE????

WHO WOULD NOT BE PISSED??? THAT MAN HAD A VERY EXTREMELY RATIONAL REACTION BECAUSE THAT WAS LITERALLY THE FOUNDATION OF HIS LIFE??? HIS ENTIRE CAREER GOT NOT JUST ENDED BUT FORCEFULLY FUCKING SLAMMED INTO A WALL OF CONCRETE AND CURB STOMPED BY A FUCKING STEAM ROLLER RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. I mean sure yeah he put up the biggest fight of the century and did his whole ‘I’m gonna mess with your head until you go insane and just fuck off and leave me alone you stupid little annoying boy get a life,’ thing BUT STILL HICCUP WON THAT WAR AND THE AGE OF 18.

WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK ME ME ME ME ME ME

I love all kinds of fanart of Vash. I like it when he is depicted as a long limbed twink who is spindly and clumsy.

But I have a different kind of appreciation when he is drawn as the brick SHITHOUSE that he is. Like this man's shoulder should be wide enough to not fit through the damn doorframe. He is clumsy because he is so large and still wears an oversized coat to hide that fact.

He should need indicator lights and blare "beep-beep" when he turns around or moves backwards. He is a himbo in my mind comparable with Kronk.

Yes, ik he canonically isn't massively tall, hence he isn't crazy wide either, BUT in my head he is 7ft tall and nothing will sway me on that. So I will always greatly appreciate any art where he looks like a damn goliath.
