#I realize that borderline sort of contends a lot of what I say about Carlando here

[charleslelurk]

between carlando and c2 which one is easy to write and why and your favorite between them also why (feeling like im interviewing you on sky oh well the mic is yours )

Wait I’m loving my little sky shipping interview 🎤

See they are totally different dynamics to me (or how I ideally write them) so it’s like comparing apples to oranges. Carlando is so embedded in sentiments of closeness and protection and wanting the best for one another. Charlos is all about the unknowns and inter-team rivalry turned something else, subtly (or not so subtly) toxic because they don’t understand their feelings or don’t understand one another. Charlos has also vastly changed over the last year because it used to be written I think much more toxically than a lot of wips being posted right now because at the end of this season there were so many interviews that shed light on their dynamic.

A lot of classic AUs or like ones inspired by movies etc fit into Carlando for me because they’re just a good, honest love story, rom com vibes. There are ideas I will have for an AU in general and I will look at the grid and truly think Carlando or Maxiel are the only ships that can fit it (to me) because they have such long and loving relationships with one another (qualifying this with the fact that I’m sure Piarles and Pierreesteban shippers would argue with me here but I just don’t dabble in those ships as much)(do love me some background Piarles in a fic though)

Charlos are inherently messy to me, so they don’t fit that same rom com mold as Carlando. Charlos had to be messy and someone gets hurt and things are unstated in a way that Carlando doesn’t really fit.

See the beauty of being a multi shipper is that I can pick and choose what ship fits into whatever I want to write and then write it lmao
