THE WHITE LOTUS (2021–) 3.02 Special Treatments

[il-predestinato]

The fact that Chinese GP organizers are like we gotta respect his French Monégasque heritage and painstakingly transliterated his name to best resemble “Sharl Leclair” while that little menace is happily prancing around introducing himself to the world as “Ch-charles LeKLeRK” is just killing me. 😭

Some dance + real-world-equivalent-ethnicity headcannons :)

Some more little bits i be thinking abt for those who want more dance content: (under the cut)

Usopp with his salsa fundamentals and luffy with his vague memories of samba end up, at some point, coming up with their own much more chaotic combo of the two. They r spinning around so fast its insane. Luffy is about to launch them into the sun. They're having a great time.

Sanji being absolutely miffed when the only other ppl on the crew who know how to couple's dance with him are Usopp and Luffy. He gets over it ofc, being able to actually dance with another person quickly overwhelms the "I wanted to tango with a beautiful lady" grief

Sanji being able to help Usopp re-learn salsa and them bonding over their moms abt it 🥲Luffy is a lost cause tho he's not learning shit /j

BaroqueWorks Robin and Bon Clay bonding over ballet Q_Q

Brook inventing the most INSANE new dips/twirls/transitions because he no longer has muscles or skin or whatever in the way

Also I firmly believe Usopp listens & dances to anything made by Spice, Mr. Killa, and Yung Bredda, but he refuses to let the crew know this. He's not embarrassed or anything he's just fairly sure Sanji would have a heart attack and die if he heard the lyrics

Sanji listens & dances to Rodrigo y Gabriela he's in love with their story

Zoro is one of those freaks who has no desire to listen to music at all but he won't turn it off if it's on, yk?

As made obvious above I think Usopp and Sanji are the 1st and 2nd most versatile dancers, but neither of them dance more Often than Franky

If i had to rank them based on how often/readily they will dance its....in the order I placed the pictures, with chopper between brook and nami. Luffy is only so low cause he'd usually rather be eating, and brook cause he'd rather be playing, and zoro cause he'd rather be drinking/napping

Robin will readily dance with you if you ask her but she's not going to initiate

If you love dance like i do and want to see some specific choreographers/dances i had in mind while drawing these, that will be the rest of this bullet list!

Sanji is doing Derek Hough's little solo bit from his pasodoble choreo on dancing with the stars. look it up it is so peak

Dancing with the star (chopper <3)

In my head Usopp is perfectly capable of dancing any choreography by Latrice Kabamba (west african steps), Tricia Miranda (dancehall), or Yeifren Mata (mostly male solo salsa)

For Franky I think some old way choreos by Nastya Batrachenko or Dashaun Wesley (he mostly does fem now but he has good old way stuff) r good

i am making my own ii human names list, but very slowly, because i am pedantic. also, i will not be counting mephone creating them as canon. ive had these ethnicity and family hcs for ages, and i will base my names on them. now, here are the two most important names.

OJ: Olivier-Jean "OJ" Jacques Silveira. my oj interpretation/gijinka is brazilian (paternal side) and ivorian (maternal side). his last name comes from his father and is brazilian portuguese. his first name and middle name were given by his mother, as many people in côte d'ivoire speak french (french colonization —> it's the official language now but there's MANY others accompanying it). a lot of people who speak french like to use "jean" in hyphenated names (trust me ive met a bajillion of them), so i included it. i think his name sounds quite classy.

oj was born and raised in america, speaking english at school and french at home. as well as some portuguese, but he never actually learned it. i think he would become quite pissy when kids at school would pronounce his name incorrectly (Olivier-Jean is... very not intuitive to english speakers. i believe they would say it like Oliver-Jeen) so they ended up using oj as shorthand. and he was fine with that, so it stuck. but at home he's Olivier and Olivier-Jean. he tells new people he meets to call him oj just because it's consistent and because he doesn't like the sound of his real name being mispronounced. coming from someone who constantly gets her real names mispronounced.

Paper: Paige Hsu (foreign name) and 许佩妍 / Xǔ Pèiyán (original name). my paper interpretation/gijinka is han taiwanese, so fully of han chinese descent. more specifically, hoklo (chosen because i hc he can speak mandarin AND hokkien). his family immigrated to taiwan from fujian (province in china with hoklo ancestry) post ww2. Xǔ is a particularly common surname in fujian, so i chose it for him. be gentle with me if i messed up with his given name LOL i know much less about chinese than french (but DO inform me if you know more about it and spot any mistakes!). Pèiyán means, in a way, beautiful garment. to wear something beautiful. to be adorned. etc. it's partially based on trying to make it seem a bit like the name "Paige", partially based on what i think his mother might name him (no real hopes or dreams for him so it's a little shallow), partially based on him as i know him (focused on presenting himself). it's also, as far as i know, a name mostly used for women. note that my interpretation of paper is usually a trans man.

now, Paige is unisex, it sounds like page, and it's a loved one of mine's favourite name for him, so i like it. i also think it makes sense for when he immigrated to canada with his mother as something they chose, and something he can still keep (being conveniently unisex). Hsu is one of the taiwanese romanizations for Xǔ. im not sure if he'd take on oj's last name. perhaps he'd hyphenate them. he's not particularly attached to his family, but Paige Hsu is quite a pretty name.

bonus: nickel is named Nikola Stević. this one was easy because my interpretation of nickel is kosovar serb. last names come from the father but the exact practice of it is a bit outdated so Stević is likely from his grandfather or great-grandfather (unless im misremembering how it works). i don't like the name Nicholas his name is Nikola. Nicholas sounds like a sweet little boy Nikola sounds like a menace. i see Nicholas everywhere start calling your nickel Nikola

saw a post that said “your cat likes it when you eat with them”and,, now i can’t stop thinking about minho with his (& gally’s) cat.

Minho prepares his own dinner before making his way over to Enculé’s food bowl, picking it up and taking it over to the counter.

He grabs the wet food that he stores in the cabinet, scraping some of it onto Enculé’s plate, saving the rest for later.

Meow

“I get it, it’s dinner time. You’ve told me that fifty times now.” Minho looks down at the brown cat, who has now resorted to pawing at his calf. “You’re impatient. I had to cook my food first, you don’t want to eat alone- do you?”

Meow

“See? I know you. Come on.” Minho sits the cat’s food down at the kitchen table before grabbing the cat’s water bowl, placing it beside of the food plate.

Enculé makes a small, happy purr as he jumps up onto the chair, placing his front paws on the table in order to reach said plates. Minho sits down in his own chair across from his pet.

“Gally would kill me if he saw you up here, you know. He’s kind of allergic to you.” Minho says, shoving his fork in his mouth. Enculé gnaws on his kibble, having already finished his wet food. He glances up at Minho as he chews, seeming to recognize Gally’s name.

“He loves you, don’t worry.” Minho winks, pouring more of the wet food on the plate for Enculé. “Not more than me, of course. He’s just your second dad.”

Meow

“I know! He’s starting to warm up to you, though. He likes it when you lay on his lap during our movie nights.” Minho smiles, reaching over to pet Enculé’s head. He purrs, rubbing his forehead against Minho’s palm. “I get it, I know. Your place is my chest, don’t worry. Gally won’t take your spot during movie nights.”

Minho doesn’t hear the door to their apartment open, nor does he hear Gally’s footsteps as he comes into the kitchen.

Gally opens his mouth to greet Minho, but he hears Minho talking. To who? He has no clue. For a second, he assumes Thomas or Newt are here. But when he notices that Minho keeps talking despite no answer, he comes to the conclusion.

It’s the damn cat.

Now, Gally does love Enculé, at least.. He tolerates him. He’s cute, fluffy, relatively friendly when he wants to be. But he’s jealous. And possessive.

The first time Gally tried to cuddle with Minho on the couch, the cat jumped across the room and slapped Gally’s hand away from Minho’s thigh before hissing at Gally and curling up on Minho’s chest. The first time Gally kissed Minho, Enculé climbed up Gally’s pants and clawed through them.

The cat is demonic, in Gally’s eyes. And Minho knows this as well. There’s a reason why Thomas is scared to enter Minho’s apartment while Enculé is out and roaming it. Enculé doesn’t like Thomas either.

The pair have now resorted to shutting their bedroom door in order to sleep at night, the cat would lay in between of their pillows and growl at Gally if he tried to touch Minho.

The two have gotten better, Gally is now allowed to pet the cat’s head-at first, the action had earned Gally a few scars-without consequences. The cat also likes to sleep on Gally’s lap if they sit on the couch.

Progress. They’re making progress. Gally still gets hissed at whenever he kisses Minho on the lips, though.

Gally shakes his head, leaning against the island in their kitchen as he watches Minho talk about his day, hands going in all different directions as he walks the cat through his job.

“And then- the newbie broke the espresso machine! So I had to tell all of the angry moms that they couldn’t have espresso at four in the afternoon- and they got mad at me! Can you believe that?”

Enculé looks up from his plate once again, pupils narrowing as he watches his owner wave his hands around like a madman. Gally stifles a laugh, not wanting to ruin their moment.

“It’s okay though, we’re supposed to get a new one tomorrow. I won’t get yelled at by angry people anymore.” He pauses, looking at the cat’s empty water bowl. “More water?”

Minho grabs the empty bowl, going towards the sink when he jumps, finally noticing Gally.

“Gal- Hi! I didn’t hear you come in!” He quickly looks at the cat, who is still sitting at the table. He looks back at Gally, cheeks turning red. “We were eating dinner together, but don’t worry- I’ll clean the table off really well so that you don’t—“ Gally walks over to the sink and pulls Minho in for a kiss, effectively shutting Minho’s rant up.

“It was sweet. You were talking to him like he’s a human.” Minho rolls his eyes, the red on his cheeks deepening. Blushing is always something that Gally has always loved to make Minho do.

“He was responding, Gal.” Minho defends his pet. But before Gally can say anything back, the cat leaps off the table and saunters over, rubbing his head and body against Gally’s shins.

Meow

“Look- He’s saying hello!” Minho beams, looking down at Enculé with as much love as a father would have for his baby. “He loves you.”

Gally chuckles and shakes his head, bending down and scooping the cat up in his arms, cradling him.

“Yeah- Hi to you, too.” The cat purrs, rubbing his face against Gally’s chest and chin. “Uh huh- and I love you too.”

Gally knows that is going to make Minho’s night.

And he’s right, Minho doesn’t shut up about Gally saying “I love you” to his cat.

In fact-in Gally’s mind-Minho makes it an even bigger deal than when Gally said “I love you” to Minho himself.

You know, being secretive and private about his personal life is kind of Spy's whole thing, but I feel like a fun little alternative to taking that route could be just to make him a massive fucking habitual liar. They dont even have to be relevant lies that hide any important information, it could legit just be him lying about his hair color to the team or smth. I know this is already pretty common so it's nothing new under the sun but I just think it'd be pretty funny if instead of being like: "no scout, I did not bang your mother" it could be like: "no scout, I did not bang your mother, but I am gay, so watch out for your dad"

Charlie, on the other side of the roof – a distance so short but so impossibly far away – held by the throat, suspended in mid air by the First Man. Her hooves kicked wildly, her claws scraped at his fingers. He could hear her choked, fearful gasp as he squeezed tighter, cutting off her airways.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Alastor acts before he thinks.

OR; if Lucifer got there a fraction too late, and Alastor didn’t teleport away when he did, and all that happens thereafter

ok look wildbow were less than six paragraphs in but i need to sit you down and have a talk with you. i love your writing most of the time. but you need to stop calling explicit attention to these things. yes you can use a characters texting style to reveal parts of their personality, thats a good thing to do. but it becomes substantially less potent as soon as you draw attention to it. because your audience is now aware that you're establishing character, rather than getting the sense of their characterization as they read.

CANUCK Canuck my beloved you deserve to be real

He’s technically already a national, but I basically just stole the name. He’s got the Vancouver canucks logo on his back (sponsored) as well as a bunch of the provincial flags! (Including Labradors cause fuck you)

He’s narrow gauge, so he’s got inline skates! Just thought it would be a silly nod. He’s also nice and polite but the SECOND he touches the race track it’s no holds bared, racing is a contact sport to him

did Nigel say speebaw representing Japan or did I mishear him.
