80s boyfriends yaoi video essay when
No I peaked here there’s nothing else (canon) I can add
I’m still fucking insane over the fact that Felix was the first to recognize Turbo, or at least him and Ralph realized at the same time. GOD.
Actually hold on (as said by Gene in the interview) why would Turbo frequent the penthouse…..? 👁️ was he perchance…. Visiting someone…………….? OOOHOHOHOOOHOHEEHEHEE😈😈😈

I told you I'd get revenge on Felix, for, uh...
Being taller than I assumed, I guess? Honestly, I'm not even sure. But I had a crush on this guy as a kid, and he's honestly adorable as hell.
I don't tend to ship Felix and Turbo, but I do like the dynamic. I feel like, if anything, they were at least familiar with each other. Felix was the first to recognize Turbo, after all.
And They Were Neighbors
Pairing: Felix x Turbo
Rating: Slightly suggestive
Warnings: None
It likely started out of courtesy. Polite small talk and a pie as a welcome to the arcade. It's something Felix might not have gotten when he was first plugged in.
My personal headcanon is that Fix-it Felix the arcade game was made in 1981, as it reminds me quite a lot of Donkey Kong, a game released in that year. Arcades were at their peak in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Felix might have been among the first to be plugged in, and as such, would have never gotten that warm welcome.
So it's significant to him. Especially if Turbo Time is either his first neighbor on that side, or possibly even a replacement for a game that had to get unplugged.
The Turbo Twins adore him. He's sweet, overall pleasant to talk to, and he brought them pie. They're just as loud and competitive as Turbo, just not nearly as aggressive about it, so I think they'd get along just fine.
Turbo, on the other hand, doesn't get along with Felix initially, at all.
Everything's a competition to him. It's baked into his code. So with Fix-it Felix Jr. being a particularly popular game, he can't help but see Felix as a rival.
Felix is a pretty passive man, though. I don't think he'd just sit there idly if Turbo decided to outright insult him, but he'd be the last person to pick a fight.
It pisses Turbo off. From his perspective, Felix isn't taking the whole rivalry thing seriously. In fact, he's actively brushing him aside.
The first time he curses in front of Felix, which likely wouldn't be too long into their first conversation, Felix scolds him for it. Tells him to watch his language.
Absolutely curses in front of Felix just to try and make him mad.
That's not to say Felix doesn't curse. I think he probably tries his hardest not too, but some of the Nicelanders - and Turbo of course - have some pretty foul mouths, and phrases and words tend to rub off on people if you hang around them long enough.
Turbo loses his shit laughing the first time Felix curses.
Teases Felix, of course. How could he not? Felix has likely censored and scolded him multiple times at this point for cursing.
This is likely the only time Turbo has actually managed to fluster the man so thoroughly.
Oh boy, once he learns Felix is susceptible to teasing, it's over.
Teasing turns to flirting real darn quick. Flirting turns to little touches. Red is very much Turbo's color, but he enjoys seeing it on Felix.
Felix will flirt back, once he gets a good enough hold on himself. It's probably something cheesy and sappy, but it's enough to take Turbo off guard.
The two of them kiss. Felix initiates, much to Turbo's - and his own - surprise.
Turbo absolutely bites during and/or after the kiss. He's absolutely a biter and I stand by that.
Regardless, this whirlwind romance - if you can even call it romance - likely doesn't last too long. It's 1982 when the two first meet, and 1987 at the time of the Roadblasters incident. It's only really five years that they have to get to know each other.
For video game characters who are essentially immortal barring any surprise power outages and unpluggings, who can spend years without any change in personality, doing the same thing every single day and still find joy in it, five years is pretty short.
Still, it hurts. He was starting to like Turbo.
To see him again after witnessing first hand what Turbo had done, to have believed him dead, would hurt like hell.
I think he'd be okay, though. He has Calhoun. She knows what its like to lose someone you love, and she knows how badly it hurts to have old wounds reopened.
