The Majestics organising a Renaissance fair and inviting random teams - GIF edition
Thanks @balsamfue for the request! More info on requests here.
Olivier followed by the rest of the Majestics, welcoming the teams at Versailles (in this case a b&b near the fair, somewhere in France)
His majesty Ralf/Robert Jürgens flexing his blonde wig to hit on the girls
Julia Fernandez Queen of Spain, not taking any of his bullshit
Enrique/Giancarlo Tornatore dressed up as Leonardo da Vinci, about to invent a flying beyblade with real wings to beat the other teams
Takao bringing the message about the beyblade with wings from one king to the other, followed by his servant Daichi
His other majesty Johnny McGregor, listening to Takao explaining Giancarlo da Vinci's story of beyblades with wings
Yuriy Ivanov literally to any of the European kings, taking the role of the dangerous enemy as always
Lord Hiwatari, his charme an evergreen regardless of the century
Max, Emily and Rick Anderson who are not big experts of European Renaissance since they are from the States so they just dressed up as some weird fairies and are now waiting for the duel between the Europeans and the Russians with flying beyblades
Bonus: Boris Kuznestov, that one knight who disappears somewhere at some point of the battle and comes back two hours later

The human immune system is based on cells that communicate with each other via signaling molecules known as cytokines and chemokines. One of these signaling molecules is the protein MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor). It plays an important role in the regulation of various immune reactions by binding to suitable receptors of various cell types in a ternary complex, thereby activating certain signaling pathways in these cells. Surprisingly, there are plant proteins that are very similar to the human MIF protein in the sequence of their individual building blocks (amino acids) and these are referred to as MDL proteins. A team led by Jürgen Bernhagen from the Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research (ISD) at University of Munich Hospital and Professor Ralph Panstruga from the Unit of Plant Molecular Cell Biology at RWTH Aachen University in collaboration with a research group led by Professor Elias Lolis from Yale University in the U.S., has now shown that MIF and MDL proteins are also astonishingly similar in their spatial structure. Lead author Lukas Spiller and the team also found that the plant MDL proteins bind to the receptors of the MIF protein, alone or in complexes with the human MIF protein, and are thus able to activate immune-relevant signaling pathways—in some cases more efficiently than the human MIF protein alone.

Heyyy, are you guys ready to hear about an Animaniacs and Pinky And The Brain Swap AU idea i came up with? Yes? Okay so basically in this AU, everything in Animaniacs is almost the same... Except all the characters are replaced with PATB ones!
The only exception would be the Pinky and Brain segment itself which instead of them, it would be starring... Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse! Yeah that's right, it's MY AU so i can do whatever i want hehe! /hj Anywho, here are all the character roles:
Darky (Dark Pinky) as Yakko Warner
Pinks (OG Pinky) as Wakko Warner
Suavy (Pinky Suavo) as Dot Warner
The Brain as Hello Nurse and viceversa
Minerva Mink as Pinky
Billie as Minerva Mink
Floyd Nesbitt (that rude guy from the "Fly" episode) as Thaddeus Plotz
Julia as Nora Rita Norita (I'm thinking of making her be with Billie in this, altought I don't ship Minerva with Nora. Nothing against anyone that those, tho!)
Snowball as Dr. Scratchansniff
Larry as Ralph T. Guard
Egwind as Ralph's wife
Cupcake (Snowball's sister) as Jürgen Scratchansniff
Dark Brain as Nurse Doom (he's Brain's twin brother in this)
Precious as Mindy
Bobby-Bob Yokel as Buttons
All three versions of Pinky are triplets in this and everyone has their original age, including them!
Still figuring out roles for the other characters and i might change some of the already chosen ones, but here's the plot:
Pinks, Darky and Suavy were first created with the purpose of being the new toon stars but as they came to life, they brought nothing but chaos to the studio.
Darky was an extreme trouble-maker and would cause mayhem just to get a laugh out of it, Suavy was considereted to be too sensual as he had way too many people swooning over him on a daily basis, and Pinks was too dump as he would unintetionally cause a few messes here and there aswell as annoying a handful of the producers.
Technically speaking Darky should have been the only one to get locked up, but we're talking about the same people who willingly locked up three literal children in the original show... so all three of them were sent to the tower. That, or perhaps Pinks and Suavy didn't wanna leave their brother alone which is why they joined him inside the WB Water Tower.
Anyways you know how the rest goes: after a few years the Pinkies escape the Water Tower and brought chaos back to their world. So Mr. Nesbitt orders for Dr. Snowball to get them to behave themselves or make them act more "normal", which Snowball is very mad about but has no choice but to do it as it his job.
Incase that doesn't work, Nesbitt orders Larry to chase the Pinkies around to catch them and get them locked back in the tower. Meanwhile Pinks and Suavy take an interest in Hello Brainy, the studio medic and Dr. Snowball's assistant, whom Darky dislikes for some reason. After a few years pass Nesbitt retires and Julia takes his place as CEO.
There's more but i still need to figure it out! In the mean time, here's a drawing of Hello Brainy:

Ranking the reboot's new characters
You'll know who the top 2 are if you've seen this post, but I haven't talked about a lot of the other characters here much, so this is an opportunity for me to do that. Plus season 3 gave me more to talk about regarding some of them. This will only rank the RECRURRING characters, so no Gigi, Future Brain, Jürgen, etc.
Least Favourite - Nils
I don't dislike Nils, he's fine and gets some good lines, but why wasn't he a one off? I don't see what made him so interesting compared to other "special friends" that he just had to appear more. He's cocky, mean and...an athlete I guess? That's about it. Yet I guess the writers wanted him to be the Warners' rival? The Warners already had a guy with a heavy accent as a foil-Dr Scratchansniff. If Scratchy wasn't in the reboot I guess I'd understand Nils being a recurring character...but he is, and his relationship with the Warners is more fun and interesting. Granted, he's in way more episodes than Nils (counting both the original show and the reboot since the reboot does act as a continuation) so maybe that isn't a fair comparison, but that doesn't make it any less true.
Plus he essentially does the same thing every time-he encounters the Warners, he provokes them, hijinks ensue for varying periods of time, the Warners win. Sure characters like Mr Director and Miss Flamiel came back, but their situations changed whenever they did. Next time we see Mr Director, his career's gone down the drain. Next time we see Miss Flamiel, she has a better handle of the Warners and manages to get them to behave marginally better in class. The only thing that changes with Nils is his gimmick (athlete, soda-obsessed, warrior, etc) but not his status or relationship with the Warners.
Although I'd argue the Warners don't even need a rival-or at least not a legitimate one. The closest thing they have to a "rival" is Ralph, but that's not taken seriously since the Warners easily dupe him, and as a recurring joke that works. Their whole thing is that they are (or at least appear to be) underdogs, yet despite the fact that they are children and a lot of their foes are adults who should have power over them, they win quite easily. Characters like the Warners don't need legitimate rivals because that kills the joke. They're extremely competent so there is no competition, and that doesn't make for a good rivalry. If they played it off as a joke, like if Nils took great pride in being their self-proclaimed rival but the Warners barely remember who he is every time they bump into him before figuratively (...maybe literally...) curb stomping him nonchalantly-I think that would be funny; but as is he's just another special friend who debuted in a very good segment before becoming a kinda pointless recurring character. I don't really mind that he was barely in season 3.
Egwind
I won't lie, Egwind basically just serves the same purpose as Larry (poking fun at the idea of adding a third mouse to Pinky and the Brain)...but Larry's not in the reboot (minus a voiceless cameo), so he automatically has more of a purpose than Nils! 😁
Starbox
Starbox is what Buttons should have been.
No, seriously.
The main reason I don't like the Buttons and Mindy segments, ironically enough, is because I LIKE Buttons. He's not a bad person, he's loyal and brave for what he goes through to keep Mindy safe. However he's not anthropomorphic like a lot of the other animals on the show, so when he constantly is on the receiving end of slapstick, then gets berated at the end of the segment, often to the point of him cowering and/or whimpering...it just looks like a dog-literally just a normal dog-being abused. Which isn't funny. If Buttons was established to be horrible (like maybe establish that he only saves Mindy in the hopes of getting rewarded, otherwise he wouldn't bother, maybe even have him be mean to Mindy to get this point across) and was anthropomorphic (not constantly walking on his hind legs, since he's a pet, but have him talk and maybe walk on two legs when Mindy's parents aren't around) so he'd seem more like a cartoon dog rather than just...a dog, it would make "Buttons and Mindy" A LOT more bearable.
Starbox is an anthropomorphic alien who wants to destroy the Earth. So yeah, he sucks...which is good! When he gets hurt, it feels deserved and can actually be funny. It means "Starbox and Cindy", as a segment, can actually work. Although between him falling for that doll and possibly warming up to Cindy at the end of their last segment of season 3, it seems he might have a softer side to him.
The Incredible Gnome in People's Mouths
His shtick is berating rude people. Very loudly. Which is fine. Take away the utterly bizarre premise of his segments and you're left with something that a little derivative of the Warners' or Slappy's segments, but he's still OK.
Benedict
He's dramatic!
...
Yeah that's about it really. Fun character, probably would've been higher if he was in season 3.
Cora/Flora Dora
I like that Cora was portrayed sympathetically towards the end of "My Super Sour Sixteen" and that she brought out Dot's more empathetic side. I know some people probably didn't expect her to make amends with the Warners at the end, given they usually just beat their "special friends" and that's the end of that, but remember the majority of the Warners' "special friends" are not other children. Cora was acting bratty, but she's a teenager meaning she still has some growing up to do. She's not gonna have the same level of maturity as an adult. The rest of the Warners' antagonists are fully grown adults. Sure, no one's perfect, but adults should know better than to act purposefully cruel, especially towards children. So to treat Cora as harshly as the rest of the Warners' antagonists wouldn't have been fair. Unfortunately she is kind of an example of the "angry Latina" stereotype for most of her screen time in her debut segment. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but it's still unfortunate. Thankfully she's not portrayed like that in "23 and WB". She acts more disinterested than she does angry, which is a good change of pace for her character, and given the events of "My Super Sour Sixteen" it makes sense she'd try to act less bratty. Like Benedict, I wish she was in season 3.
I liked Flora Dora's bond with the Warners and even her bond with Ralph. She really does seem to value her family, even if she's more than willing to pit them against each other in competitions. I guess that's just her way of pushing them to be the best they can be? Hence Nora's phrase "It's the Norita way." Also it's just nice to see a member of Nora's family who DOESN'T have anger issues (I can't tell if Nora's sisters do given their lack of screen time, but they seemed mean). She doesn't do too much after she restores the status quo in "Season 3 and WB", so I decided to just put her and Cora in same rank. Cora's more developed as a character but Flora Dora doesn't fall under a harmful stereotype, so it balances out...I think.
Cindy
Cindy is very imaginative, and often just seems lost in her own thoughts. Hearing Cindy's constant rambling about random stuff in the background makes for a pretty funny running gag. Apparently a lot of her lines are improvised, and yeah that's not too surprising, it feels like she says any random thought the instant it pops into her head. She's also playful, cheerful, a self proclaimed "monster" (again, she's imaginative), and even though she tends to be careless, for whatever reason is really attached to Starbox.
So to recap she has a more than one personality trait, an adequate amount of screen time, has a reason to exist in the show, and doesn't fall under any harmful stereotypes (as far as I'm aware of), so...third place. Good for her.
Julia
In her debut episode, Julia was depicted as somewhat placid, thoughtful, outspoken and always willing to give a helping hand. One thing she wasn't was submissive-she was more than willing to go against' Brain's plans and call him out if she felt what he was doing was wrong. Brain, being Brain, didn't appreciate this, and had already installed an obedience chip her brain so he could mind control her. However, because of her resistance to its affects, Brain turned up the settings of the device too high, causing it to malfunction and seemingly fry Julia's brain, but she did break free Brain's control.
The next time we see her in “Reichenbrain Falls”, she's become an over-enthusiastic, crazy genius out for revenge. She was hilarious in that segment, but I still kinda wish she had a more nuanced portrayal than someone who's interested in organ harvesting and beats animals now, considering she is basically a trauma survivor. But I guess those things could just be attributed to her Kentucky Fried brain. Personally I like to believe that she wants to take over the world not necessarily because she’s hungry for power, but more because of sunk-cost fallacy (she was really close to succeeding before Brain tried to mind-control her, plus her exact words were “…because I deserve to rule the world!”). It would also be the perfect way to get revenge on Brain...aside from outright killing him, which she also plans to do. Fair enough.
I really like Julia! She's really funny and I can't help but root for her, what Brain did to her was wrong. Her leitmotif is an inverted version of the Pinky and the Brain theme song, which is a neat little detail. Her voice constantly switches from calm and collected, to giddy with energetic glee, to utterly enraged; it gives a good picture of her mental state. She’s kind of like Brain and Pinky combined, she has Brain’s intelligence and Pinky’s insanity. Julia breaks the formula the Pinky and the Brain. Despite starting out as Brain's ally she wasn't co-dependent like Pinky, unlike people who Brain had tried to hypnotize before she breaks free from his mind control on her own and not due to some external force or by being lucky enough to avoid it completely, and she serves as a lasting consequence of Brain being a control freak. Whatever him and Pinky get up to is usually swept under the rug by the end of an episode as they return to the lab for tomorrow night, but not this time.
She also seems to have a consistent interest in literature, given that she mentions getting into arguments on Goodreads and getting into the Iowa Writers' Workshop; even her computer program counterpart was working on a book proposal and planned to write about how well she's doing in a holiday card. So I guess her and Brain's...I'll go with "rivalry" is basically STEM vs Humanities lol.
Julia's a wonderful addition to the cast and one of the best things to come out of the reboot. I'm not at all surprised that she's become a popular character.
Favourite - Nora
Yep, my favourite's still Nora. Julia's great, but Nora has the advantage of being in more than just 3 episodes and not having an incomplete storyline.
Nora was established to be condescending, stern, and selfish. She was no-nonsense whereas the Warners always mess about, so she was like a foil to them. She also seems to care a lot about her physical appearance and health, given that she's seen exercising a lot. Now I liked her personality in season 1 but she didn't have much screen time, which was a problem because she was essentially Plotz's replacement, but he was a much more proactive antagonist who actively tried to control the Warners (demanding that Scratchansniff "de-zanitise" them, hiring a teacher for them, selling them to other studios, etc). Nora, on the other hand, didn't want anything to do with the Warners and would get them away from her as soon as possible. I'm glad she was never a carbon-copy of Plotz, but if she was gonna replace the person who was essentially the show's main antagonist, you'd think she'd act like she was the main antagonist. In season 1 she doesn't really...do anything. She's mostly just seen either exercising in her office or briefly being dismissive of her employees' needs.
Season 2 gave her more screen time and fleshed out her character, and that's great! We learn that she overcompensates for her lack of parenting skills by buying her daughter whatever she wants, and we find out her upbringing is why she's so competitive (side note you think Nora having a bad relationship with her two siblings was meant to serve as a contrast between her and the Warners? Again adding to the whole foil thing). But she also became angrier and more violent, which in hindsight I think was kind of a poor decision because, like Cora, it sorta seemed like she became the "angry Latina" stereotype at times. Yeah her freak out in "WhoDonut" did indicate she was secretly pretty crazy herself, so it's not like her having crazed outbursts came completely out of nowhere, but when this kind of thing is done with Latina characters all the time (not this show specifically, in all sorts of media) it eventually gets a little irksome.
Thankfully in season 3 they toned down her temper. It's still there, but less exaggerated most of the time. On top of that, she's actually acting like a proactive antagonist now, not just in "Season 3 and WB", but with her exploitation of Gigi, making her employees work on the day before Christmas, etc. She fulfils the role Plotz did but in a way where she's not just copying Plotz. She's a lot more competent and manipulative. Her knowing all the Warners' tricks in "Season 3 and WB" makes sense. Not only is she the CEO, she's been established to be a perfectionist, it's not surprising she'd have seen most of what Warner Bros. had to offer, and therefore could predict the outcome of their gags. They nailed it with Nora's characterization in season 3, which makes me all the more hopeful this isn't the last we see of her.
.
.
.
Overall, I think the new characters introduced were pretty solid! Nora and Julia are some of my favourite Animaniacs characters in general, and even the worst ones are at least a little fun. I genuinely hope that if we get new Animaniacs content at some point in the future that at least some of them are included.

Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas in The English Patient (Anthony Minghella, 1996)
Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Kristin Scott Thomas, Naveen Andrews, Colin Firth, Julian Wadham, Jürgen Prochnow, Kevin Whately, Clive Merrison, NIno Castelnuovo. Screenplay: Anthony Minghella, based on a novel by Michael Ondaatje. Cinematography: John Seale. Production design: Stuart Craig. Film editing: Walter Murch. Music: Gabriel Yared.
The "prestige motion picture" is a familiar genre: It's typically a movie derived from a distinguished literary source or a biopic about a distinguished historic figure, with a cast full of major actors, but designed not so much to advance the art of film as to attract critical raves and awards -- particularly Oscars. There are plenty of examples among the best-picture Oscar winners: A Man for All Seasons (Fred Zinnemann, 1966), Chariots of Fire (Hugh Hudson, 1981), Gandhi (Richard Attenborough, 1982), Amadeus (Milos Forman, 1984), Out of Africa (Sydney Pollack, 1985), and The Last Emperor (Bernardo Bertolucci, 1987). (The 1980s seemed to be particularly dominated by prestige-seekers.) The trouble is that once the initial attraction of these films has faded, few people seem to remember them fondly or want to watch them again. I'd rather watch The Battle of Algiers (Gillo Pontecorvo, 1966) today than sit through A Man for All Seasons, and I would say the same for Atlantic City (Louis Malle, 1981), Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982), Starman (John Carpenter, 1984), Prizzi's Honor (John Huston, 1985), and Moonstruck (Norman Jewison, 1987) when put in competition with the prestige best-picture winners of their respective years. So I watched The English Patient last night to test my theory that prestige movies don't hold up over time. It fits the category precisely: It's based on a Booker Prize-winning novel by Michael Ondaatje; it has a distinguished cast, three of whom were nominated for acting Oscars, including Juliette Binoche, who won; it earned raves from The New Yorker, the New York Times, and Roger Ebert; it raked in 12 Oscar nominations and won nine of them -- picture, supporting actress, director Anthony Minghella, cinematographer John Seale, art direction, costumes, sound, film editor Walter Murch (who also shared in the Oscar for sound), and composer Gabriel Yared. And sure enough, there are films from 1996 that I'd rather watch again than The English Patient, including Fargo (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen), Lone Star (John Sayles), and Trainspotting (Danny Boyle). But I also have to say that of all the "prestige" best picture winners, The English Patient makes the best case for the genre. It's a good movie, with a mostly well-crafted screenplay by Minghella from a book many thought unfilmable, though it still tries to carry over too much from the novel, such as the character of David Caravaggio (Willem Dafoe), whose function in the film, to provoke Almásy (Ralph Fiennes) into uncovering his story, could have been served equally well by Hana (Binoche). But the performances still seem fresh and committed. Binoche, though designated a supporting actress, carries the film by turning Hana into a kind of central consciousness. I was surprised at how much heat is generated by Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas as Katharine, considering that they are both usually rather icy performers. There are some beautifully staged scenes, like the one in which Kip (Naveen Andrews) "flies" Hana so she can view the frescoes high in a church. And Murch's sound editing gives the film a marvelous sonic texture, starting with the mysterious clinking sounds at the film's beginning, which are then revealed to be the bottles carried by an Arab vendor of potions. Murch's ear and Seale's eye make the film an enduring audiovisual treat.

Kreis-Kliniken als Dauerbrenner-Thema
Kreis-Kliniken als Dauerbrenner-Thema (Foto: pm) SPD-Kreistagsfraktion tagte Adelsheim. (pm) Im alten Rathaus in Adelsheim begrüßte Fraktionsvorsitzender Jürgen Mellinger die SPD-Kreistagsfraktion zur Oktober-Sitzung. Zu Beginn der Sitzung warfen die Kreisräte einen Blick auf die Kreis-Finanzen. Positiv wurde aufgenommen, dass der Jahresabschluss 2023 ein um 1,38 Millionen Euro besseres Ergebnis als erwartet hervorgebracht hat. Für das laufende und das kommende Jahr wird mit einem millionenschweren Defizit gerechnet. Sorgenkinder sind hier neben den Kreis-Kliniken auch die fehlenden Ausgleichszahlungen des Landes für Ausgaben des Landkreises im Zuge des Bundesteilhabegesetzes. Die Kreisräte betonten, wie wichtig das Gesetz sei, um für Menschen mit einer Behinderung die Teilhabe an der Gesellschaft zu ermöglichen. Jedoch müsse das Land endlich seinen Zahlungsverpflichtungen nachkommen. Neben dem Kreishaushalt war die Situation der Kreis-Kliniken auch Dauerbrenner-Thema wie in den vorangegangenen Sitzungen. Die Fraktion wird weiterhin die Beratungen zum Krankenhausversorgungsverbesserungsgesetz genauestens beobachten. Die Chancen, die die Reform hervorbringen wird, müssen dann auch vollständig ausgeschöpft werden. „Unabhängig von den Entscheidungen von Bund und Land müssen wir hier vor Ort alle Hebel in Bewegung setzten, um die Lage der Kliniken zu verbessern“, so Valentin Hoß. Dazu gehöre unter anderem die Außenwirkung in die Bevölkerung hinein und damit die Auslastung der Kliniken zu verbessern. Abonnieren Sie kostenlos unseren NOKZEIT-KANAL auf Whatsapp. Bereits in der vergangenen Sitzung hat sich die SPD-Fraktion für eine stärkere Förderung des Gottersdorfer Freilandmuseums ausgesprochen. Ein entsprechender Antrag wurde gestellt und wird in der nächsten Sitzung des Schul-, Kultur- und Partnerschaftsauschusses behandelt. Meikel Dörr stellte fest, dass sich fast alle Fraktionen im Wahlkampf für eine Stärkung der Kultur und des Tourismus ausgesprochen hätten. Man werde sie deshalb an ihrem Abstimmungsverhalten messen. Julian Stipp und Jonas Weber berichteten vom aktuellen Stand des Baukompetenzzentrums der DHBW Mosbach. Im Zuge einer Anfrage der SPD-Landtagsfraktion hat das Finanzministerium eine ergänzte Machbarkeitsstudie für die Neuunterbrinngungskonzeption noch für den Herbst angekündigt. Die SPD-Kreistagsfraktion machte deutlich, wie wichtig die DHBW für uns vor Ort aber auch für das ganze Land sei. An der DHBW werden die Bauingenieurinnen und Bauingenieure ausgebildet, die für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung in der Bauwirtschaft dringend gebraucht werden. Nicht zuletzt bildet die DHBW auch das Personal für die Kommunen und Regierungspräsidien aus. Ralf Schnörr gab einen kurzen Einblick in die aktuelle Lage der DIGENO. Diese sei für viele Menschen ein Sprungbrett auch in den ersten Arbeitsmarkt. Im Bereich der Schuldnerberatung könne ebenfalls vielen Menschen geholfen werden. Zum Schluss der Sitzung dankte Jürgen Mellinger Ralph Gaukel für die Vorbereitung der Sitzung und den übrigen Fraktionsmitgliedern für den intensiven und produktiven Austausch.

Ein bißchen Frieden ist ein Lied, das als deutscher Beitrag zum Eurovision

Beyblade characters going camping - hangover edition
Because as Boris/Bryan once wisely said:
Max waking up without a tent above his head
Takao/Tyson who never refuses to make a toast with Neoborg and regularly ends up wasted
Kenny/Manabu still shocked by the noises he heard during the night (they didn't come from the forest)
Ralph being the only one completely sober because if it isn't champagne he doesn't drink it
Kai who shares the tent with Yuriy, telling Hiromi things he cannot explain
Olivier who has reached the point where his "glamping" has nothing glam anymore
Boris/Bryan, totally feeling like he is at home in Siberia

Childhood headcanon for Robert
These headcanon asks were really nice, thank you Syfien for sending so many ~
Robert is an old favorite of mine. Even if I try to use the original names, Robert is hard to change for me.
To me, I always headcanoned Robert to be an only child to two very important and busy parents. Because of that, he ended up spending a lot of time alone in the castle that i´d imagine would be in a very isolated part of Germany. There would be people around him, of course, but mostly adults, or staff. The children of the staff living in the castle would probably keep away from Robert just to stay out of trouble.
He´d also learn at an early age that not everyone who approaches him has good intentions. Kids, adults and others have tried to befriend him to somehow get a hold of his family´s riches or influence. This made him learn how to read people really well, and turn into an observer. Stoic, quiet, but when speaking he´d have this power behind his words.
A part of me also really wonders if Robert´s parents would have a marriage of love or because of status and connections? Either have a slow love growing, or simply not love each other.
The anime portraits Johnny, Enrique and Olivier to first be something like friends, but more like "other wealthy people Robert knows". Perhaps they met during an event like a ball, and since their social status were similar, they were allowed to play. All of them are very different induviduals so can see it be a lot of arguments, and ego, getting in the way until they grow closer.
Them becoming better friends after meeting Tyson and becoming more of a team, rather than focusing on themselves.
