#and also yes. i am FOREVER soft about the fact that piarles will always answer each other first

[singsweetmelodies]

hi i wanted to ask about your thoughts on this matter:

we know how piarles wouldn't hesitate to name each other as the person they would go to dinner with because they're best friends. but what if someone, maybe like kiddos, asked each of them "aside from your best friend pierre/charles, who else on the grid would you not mind going to dinner with"

what do you think would charles and pierre's answers be? because they are each other's first choice, i think if someone phrased the question like that, it might catch them off guard for a lil while since they can't fall back on their safe answer

oooohhhh, anon, what a fabulous question! thank you so much for this one 💕🤔 as a scientist, i love how it immediately makes me think :D now, time to turn to my favourite science of all, aka, the analysis of piarles 👀❤️

SO, first of all: i completely agree with you that it would probably throw them both off their game a little. because i feel like they're both so used to and so comfortable answering with each other - it's their safe answer, as you said. they're each other's safe space *insert five-second pause for me to have a complete 🥺🥺🥺 meltdown about that thought*

aaaaaaanyways, back to the question. i think charles, especially, might be the one who begins by answering "pierre" automatically, but only remembers after he said it that pierre was excluded from the question. i feel like he'd have a classic, adorably-confused-sharl moment there, maybe do a babygirl laugh and head dip before apologising for the mistake and answering with someone like "carlos." not because carlos is necessarily his next best choice, but rather because he'd be caught a bit off guard and floundering for someone to say now that pierre isn't an option, and it's always a safe, PR-friendly bet to say his teammate and make it seem like they're good friends and getting along wonderfully and whatnot. (who would i say is charles' actual next choice, you may be wondering? probably sebastian, ngl. or maybe zhou or yuki? charles does love calling them his "heroes," lmao, and altogether he just seems to enjoy spending time with either/both of them.)

as for pierre, i feel like his PR-mandated answer would probably be esteban, because alpine is really pushing the 'pierresteban reunited besties 🥰' narrative lately. but there's an equally high chance that he'd say "yuki" in answer to that question, because if there's one thing pierre is really rather good at, it's engaging with the fans and giving them exactly what they want. he's a bit of a PR legend, honestly. (and as for the driver, other than charles, i think he'd most LIKE to get dinner with? lewis. absolutely, 100% lewis. i am forever firmly on board the "pierre is a lewis fanboy" train, and im right xD)

so yes! those are my thoughts, anon, but please feel free to tell me what you think, too 👀💕 and thanks again for such a fantastic question! i really enjoyed pondering & answering this one :DD <3333
