Sharing moments together

Not enough people talk about the fact that while yes, Papa Louie is known for using shady schemes to hire people instead of just hosting a job interview, he canonically used those very schemes to hire what are essentially gods of his world like 3 different times and it always worked. Like at that point you can’t even be mad at him. He has won.

Papa Louie Aesthetics Meme

Since the results from my poll a while back leaned to a whopping mighty YES, I figure now be the time to pose a fun challenge for Flipline Tumblr and those of us who enjoy making graphics, so....drumroll...The Papa Louie Aesthetics Meme!

Before we get to the prompt list below the cut, just a few guidelines:

-tag your posts with papa louie aesthetics meme so we can all see everyone's pictures gathered together

-do your best to make at least one picture for each prompt, though if you're absolutely stuck for inspiration for a few I'm not making it a big deal. If you want to do more than one picture for a prompt that's fine as well, I'm just making the basic guideline of at least one so people not as experienced with editing don't feel overwhelmed

-since Tumblr allows multiple images per post, you can put more than one picture into each of your own posts

-whether you want to do your images in basic 9-picture moodboard style or try different layouts, go right ahead! Whether you want to represent a character with a faceclaim or with their in-game picture, go right ahead with that as well!

yo what if.... papa louie Masterchef AU?

the chefs from all the previous games compete to become Masterchef and are faced with harsh criticism from Quinn, Jojo and Daddy Lou himself. there are two types of contestants, the ones that are there to cook and the ones that are there to start drama... and there’s also Roy, who’s just working through a constant mental breakdown. don’t let the boy be part of one of those elimination challenges where you get like one try at making the perfect poached egg, he won’t be able to handle that. Mandi is the girl who just shittalks everyone. Papa Louie will compliment one of the dishes like “the complexity of the flavor is astonishingly beautiful” and then there’s a cut to those one of interviews, and it’s just Mandi rolling her eyes and going “complexity of the flavor my ass, anyone can mix honey and soy sauce”. there’s a bitchfight between her and any other contestant almost constantly, just cause Mandi is very open about how she feel about them. like, “i’m not taking cooking advice from someone who puts ice cream on a plate for a living” and “this is a cooking competition, not a crying competition, Roy” and everyone is sick of it. you can bet that in those rounds where a contestant can give another contestant a handicap by for example taking away a mixer or making them miss out on crucial information, everyone goes for Mandi Carlo Romano is trying to keep the mood up, and tell people not to fight because “in the end, we are all winners, and it’s the experiences we gathered here that are the true prize” while there’s complete chaos going on in the kitchen, probably moments away from escalating into a whole ass fist fight. Cooper and Prudence brought their pets which nobody knows if it’s even legal for sanitary reasons, but everyone loves them, except James. he’s offended on a personal level that Cooper has a cat sitting on the counter with him and he absolutely refuses to work with him because of the cat.

The drama is not only present among the contestants, Quinn is more than annoyed to see Timm there, trying to become Masterchef. “Well look who came crawling back. maybe your food would taste better if you weren’t such a backstabbing bitch. Anyways, it’s a no from me.” and then she yeets the whole plate in the bin. Also that one contestant who got called out for making a mess because he literally just put everything on the floor? that’s Mitch. 100% Mitch. And that one contestant who was so annoyed that he just started eating his own food after being roasted by the judges? That one is Chuck.

The 6 Originals: (From L to R) Mark, Samuel, Bety, Kai, Ashton, and Jenny. All 6 are deemed as the protagonists. (Though if I had to pick only one that would be like the de facto leader it'd be Kai)

The Cooks that Started it All + The Addition: Papa Louie (Mainly), Roy, and Joy (Not initially, but eventually added in the remake) Louie would either be up with Matt & Tony or second-in-rank alongside Joy & Roy I have not figured that out yet (and it’s difficult atm because M&T and Louie himself with R&J are like the important ppl in the game series (well, the latter 3, but the 2 founders too). 

The Founders: Matt & Tony (they’re the main ones that created the Flipverse and its characters, and in C6Pals’s world, are seen as a divine figure from the 6 originals because of that)

+RL Charas (That M&/T are close with): Cindy (Tony’s Wife), Georgito (based of of a friend of Tony’s), Doan (based of of M&T’s friend), and Johnny (based off of a friend of Tony’s albeit he isn’t a lumberjack irl)

Do you have any headcanons of the man himself papa louie

Papa Louie HCs

-Oh boy, here we go, the gosh darn king of the entire franchise (metaphorically speaking, but he owns so much of the continent, he might as well be king). This dude is That Bitch™️ basically. This also has so much made up lore like goddang me, calm down.

-Anyways, Louis Bianchi (or Papa Louie, as he’s affectionately referred to as by just about everyone) is the 47 year old hot-shot restauranteur and mayor of Tastyville, but he also owns territories and buildings all over the continent. He lives with his 24 year old niece, Joy, and his 21 year old nephew, Roy, in a suburban house close to the Tastyville apartment complex he owns.

-In news stories and articles all over the place, Papa is painted as some sort of saint, a kind and hardworking man who always has the best interests of the people in mind. This is very true, as he is both a friendly people pleaser, but Joy and Mitch can easily describe him as more passive aggressive. From basically stalking people he believes are down on their luck, duping many into jobs and schemes, and even casually insulting people, many workers can definitely agree. Although he is much softer of a person with his beloved nephew and the workers after a certain period of time, he can just flip flop between his mischievous side and his fatherly side just like that. He’s certainly a character.

-Little to nothing is known about his past. His education, family, and upbringing are a complete mystery. Papa has burned what little childhood photos and trinkets he has in order to never remember this, which suggests that his life prior to opening restaurants was not a happy time. He and his brother, Guy Mortadello (who is also the father of Roy and Joy), never speak of this nor do they ever admit to even being related, hence why nobody makes the connections. However, after cleaning the attic, Roy secretly did stumble upon a photo of two parents, a pair of boys who looked to be twins, and an unknown brunette holding two babies. All the faces are scratched out, but he could definitely recognize a certain birthmark one of the twins’ neck.

-Papa hates old chain fast food restaurants that are still running. Not because they’re competitors, but because their food quality is much poorer and he hates mascots. Like he will throw hands with Ronald McDonald, Sassy Wendy’s, and even Jollibee behind the Fluffmart.

-He wanted Guy Mortadello to be his business partner after papers began badmouthing the latter’d foods’ slip in quality (which had been brought on by his inconsolable grief after his wife’s sudden passing). Mortadello, who had most likely suffered through an intense sibling rivalry, refused and not only kept his lackluster restaurants open, but he abandoned his children, too. Today, their rivalry still goes strong, but now that all of Mortadello’s restaurants have closed, he’s more open to the idea of being partners in crime, even allowing himself to be hired to help scam workers. They still hate each other though.

-Papa is a karaoke and lip syncing master. He can’t sing or dance very good, but the raw passion and emotion is there. Like imagine that Fresh Prince scene where Will is lip syncing to “And I Am Telling You”. That’s a simpler way to explain it.

-His slight favoritism of Roy may stem from Mortadello always feeling like the family’s black sheep, and he doesn’t want to let Roy go through that. It’s also because Roy is much more respectful and easier to chill with than Joy, who’s much too energetic and overconfident to have a humble conversation with. He still loves her, of course, but Roy’s the one who’s at his side most of the time.

-He always wakes up at 4 AM and goes to bed at midnight. That’s not healthy at all, but this dude can somehow survive on only 20 minutes of sleep. It seems to run in the family since Roy and Joy could also do this.

-When arguments break out at the weekly worker meetings, he doesn’t really do jack to stop them unless Roy or Joy is involved. He might say “stop” or “let’s calm down” occasionally, but he thinks his staff is mature enough to end it on their own (they aren’t). He just sits there with Prudence and Mitch eating popcorn while Rudy and Mandi argue, probably.

-I headcanon him as yelling like Gordon Ramsay, but with Mario’s voice, if that makes any sense. It makes me giggle when I think about him screaming “RAW”, but in Mario’s voice.

-He collects creepy porcelain figures in his free time, naming all of them after some sort of food. His hobbies also include mimicking Gordon Ramsay, glass blowing, pottery, stalking-I mean merely observing people he thinks are in financial trouble, or making Roy watch Food Network and Jeopardy with him.

-He likes to try to do gymnastics with Joy, but he always ends up failing miserably and with a cast on multiple limbs.

-Papa has an entire specialized hair care routine for his mustache. It takes two hours to complete.

-Why did I make so much dang lore about this dude? Also I cannot believe that Flipline Studios had the audacity to make my crush Taylor into a zombie after also making my boy Wally into one. Anyways, yeah I love Papa but now that I’m older, he’s kind of a prick honestly.

[williamshamspeare]

Would be nice to have more canon full names. They'd probably be silly but papa louie is a silly fun game - amii

I would absolutely love that. Also we technically know the full names of Matt, Tony, Mandi, and Doan but that's kinda outside the peripherals of Flipline content

[quality-ghost]

Anyway while i have done all the pl characters in the au im comfortable with, ive left some out i didnt wanna do. These characters are tony, matt, mandi, doan (basically everyone explicitly human. Im ok with johnny n georgito bc they're only loosely based on real people) and p much every customerpalooza (kentons in a weird place). Idk i just. Cant do characters that arent mine and arent fliplines if i dont have the blessing first - amii

yeah I understand, I typically don't include those guys in headcanons and aus either. I think it's just good courtesy to do that anywho

[ccwastaken]

A COUPLE OF THINGS I MISSED:

Sarge Fan is sticking out of a tree and Clair is just looking at him like "why are you like this where is your mom"

Tony and Mandi are chatting...Mandi looks completely done with him and tbh I'd be the same if my husband was flipline studios founder Tony Solary

Roy and Mitch are waving at each other in this pic I didnt know they were FRIENDS...

Uhhh this. I kinda don't like it.

Despite this I feel like I've been improving. Like take a look at one of my art stuff in November VS now. Don't include joke or small ones
