#I feel like they're great foils to each other but I dont want to talk about that

tfw you, as a mind reader, have to team up with a man who thinks too much

Ok, Valewis + ☕️. We all already know how you feel about them, but let's go

sob i think everyone and their mam knows how i feel about them but you’re right imma scream anyway

it’s the amount of time and energy and care that they put into their relationship. it’s valtteri coming into mercedes knowing he’s on a one year contract, knowing the garage is so divided, knowing in the way that every other driver on the grid last year knew what happened with nico and lewis but also didn’t know. it's lewis coming from the shitshow that was brocedes and not caring about val - that one this or that video where he was asked jenson or val and he went 'i dont care' to waxing poetry about valtteri whenever he gets the chance.

it’s val waiting on his car to congratulate lewis in silverstone. it's brazil 2021 and lewis saying to tell val that we can get them !! it's jeddah 2021 and val's 'i think me and lewis may be the best teammates in formula one' and the way val watches lewis when he's sitting down, exhausted, and asks if he's ok and gives him space. it’s lewis nearly missing the podium in baku 2018 to say sorry to val and tell him that the win should've been his.

it's 'in this picture, lewis was trying to kiss me, it was a really confusing moment' and 'this is an interesting picture because i wasn't sure if valtteri wanted to kiss me or not'. it’s writing love letters on main and zooming in on val’s face and posting this in front of your 23 million followers. it's 'he's the best teammate i've ever had'. it’s 'you’re greater than you know'. it’s the 'dream team. thank you lewis'. it’s val giving lewis aesthetic nudes of his bare ass in front of everyone and looking at him Like That bc they’re not like the other girls and they swap nudes as well as helmets. it's 'not that i don't already have something to remember you by'. it’s the way lewis is so careful about the space around him but will push into val’s space without even thinking about it and val will throw his arm around lewis and lewis won’t even blink. it’s the casual easiness. it's the being each other's safe space in this insane sport. it's the playing video games together during the delayed quali of the italian gp 2017 and lewis being a sore loser over val beating him. it's the way valtteri melts when lewis talks to him, goes all blushing and flustered and 🥰☺️. it's sharing flights. it's valtteri posting pictures of roscoe on his story and not lewis. it's the way they gravitate towards each other, even when they're not teammates. it's 'we're starting side by side, it's pretty cool. i just saw him and we were both smiling. it should be fun. if somebody had told me in bahrain we're going to be starting side by side with lewis, i'd take it'. it's 'valtteri has just been a great teammate'. it's 'when i can't win the title, i want lewis to win it'. it's years of hearing lewis sing and talk to himself through the motorhome walls. it's val saying that he told lewis he was a better driver than he was. it's lewis absolutely losing his shit and giggling so much he nearly falls off his chair while valtteri tries to explain why he knows exactly how long a beaver's dick is.

it is ofc the parallels and narrative foils of coffee being one of val’s greatest loves and one of the things lewis hates most in this world. it’s lewis ‘coffee doesn't taste good though does it’ hamilton and valtteri ‘i need to give you good coffee’ bottas and valewis 'we've had coffees between races travelled a lot together' like. shut the fuck up

send me a topic + ☕️ emoji and i’ll tell you my honest opinion about it

I’m curios to ask (If it’s alright, feel free not if you don’t want to) what makes Underlust your fave Au?

Oh this is a great question! There are a lot of reasons!! Longpost under the cut. Forgive me, i typed this on my phone and i just woke up.

One is the designs. I fucking adore everyones designs! Sans is damn cute! Papyrus is cute! Napstablook is cute! MTT is cute! Grillby is cute! The color palettes and slight deviations that make them unique are all just Artistically Good and they hit me somewhere nice in the visual appeal part of my brain.

Another reason is that I just love the canon story! I mean, yeah, its really dark and tragic what happened to Mettaton. But the point of the story is that he overcomes it. He is able to heal. The story tells us that you can heal even after you get hurt that badly and it doesnt have to define you and thats wonderful and beautiful and something too many people legitimately need to hear.

And the RELATIONSHIPS!! MTT and Papyrus talk it out and have a relationship that isnt based in physicality they just genuinely love each other. And Papyrus is so clearly Ride or Die. It's just GREAT okay? And the Sansby is ALSO GREAT because Sans and Grillby are awkward and never talk until Sans does his drunken confesssion and Grillbz is just like oh god i love this dumb idiot drunk this is my life now.

And MTT and Alphys also have a great relationship! They are close enough to make Girl Talk even after what happened! Alphys knows cuz she patched MTT up but they're still making sass at each other! GREAT!!

Papyrus and Undyne have a great relationship!!! She doesn't infantilize him and admits he is good at the sex part of the job, she just thinks he is too clingy and romance driven to keep himself detached enough for work. And thats a legitimate concern! For his well being and the clients both!

Sans and Papyrus's relationship is great!! There is clearly a standard set of platonic affection being shared between them. They talk and joke and sass and tease each other. Theyre brothers and its great.

(did the creator draw a lot of underlust fontcest too? yes. yes she did. and that was also great. but these are two separate things and even without the obvious -gestures- "theyre fictional skeleton monsters, dont be weird", its also addressed that the fontcest part is not something to model irl.)

And i like to headcanon blooky and sans are friends even though they never interacted in the canon material we got. i like to think they would have eventually if it wasn't discontinued.

I love how the humans are adults and frisk is aroace. i'm afraid of children so having an AU where the humans are all canonically adult is great to me.

I love Toriel and Asgore's relationship. It is tragic what happened to them, but I think it's important that stories not always shy away from that kind of hurt. Some people need stories like that too.

I love Rosie the Rose's design and concept in general.

I also love the LUST mechanic. I love that there is an AU where sex is a prominent, plot relevant, societally prevalent and important thing. I love that as an Asexual, myself. It allows me to explore that topic safely, while having fun. I love how its treated as a both natural (meaning its normal and not gross or weird) and unnatural (not meant for monsters, specifically, under normal circumstances) thing. I love how it is defined as a Very Human thing, and what that can mean to me when analyzed and juxtaposed against the narrative foil to the idea that we are given in Frisk the Asexual.

I kinda love that the whole thing is 80% shitposts and pieces the creator made while just having fun living their best life. Yes the papyton comic, which is the meat of the canon, was done seriously, but so much was made of just the characters having fun being themselves and thats pretty cool too.

I know there is a lot of bad publicity around underlust. I know people have spread terrible rumors about it. I frankly dont care. I know it is a beautiful story made from beautiful art. wherever its creator is now i wish her the best in the world. It is my favorite AU (aside from my own lol) and nobody can change my mind.
