So i printed out the zolu comic. I feel like i need to add backgrounds and more tones in some of the panels. But also now i want to learn proper book binding
Read it here!
I think today was a great example of why we like to call Max and Charles emotional support rivals.
Max going straight to Charles’ number 3 stand to yap while keeping his interview brief was such a delight to witness. But after he’d returned to his stand to hydrate, Charles at one point walked up to him to continue the conversation. Max is usually the yapper, he leads their debriefs, but this time the roles were clearly reversed. It was so interesting to see. Max loves to yap, but the minute he is down, Charles will make sure to keep the conversation going.
Even in the cooldown room - he made sure to include Max and keep the conversation flowing. The Max Verstappen podcast worked just as well as the Charles Leclerc podcast.
Max Verstappen's favorite weakness:
Charles, once again, sitting wherever he pleases in the cool down room. Girl is living proof of pretty privilege, max would have not let that shit slide if it were someone else 😭😭😭
Charles, Max and George | Bahrain 2024.
DO NOT REPOST ANYWHERE THANK YOU.
*The first time Max and Charles met*
Max, internally: Wow, Charles seems great, he's good-looking. Wow, I'm... kinda in love. I definitely wanna get closer with him for sure
Charles: Hi, I'm Charles Leclerc, nice to meet you
Max, to Jos: Can you get rid of him?
Charles: Well, fuck you too
Max, internally: Fucking shit, Verstappen, come on, what the fuck

personally I don't think we as a society talk enough about charles calling pierre mon petit
Every so often I recall the funniest blink-and-you-miss-it moment on Dressrosa, when Luffy picks up Zoro and Law and is about to jump off a plateau. Law is panicking but Zoro is calm and steady, his captain’s arm around his neck in a chokehold, ready to go wherever his captain chooses to take him. (CHAPTER 746) (Ep 682)
Remember how much Zoro hated being hauled around by Luffy pre-timeskip? Pepperidge farm This ZoLu shipper remembers! Zoro used to hit Luffy, yell at him, threaten to cut him for physically manhandling him (usually with a Gomu Gomu no Rocket). Look at this fool now! His damn face is horizontal and he’s just, like, “Cool.” This 180 was so out of character that I remember pausing in my reading out of surprise. Over time, I realized this is just part of a growing pattern of behavior:
Post-timeskip, Zoro got soft.
Okay, yeah, post-timeskip Zoro is more muscular, has a prominent facial scar, doesn’t smile or laugh as much anymore, and spouts these tough-guy one-liners. But when it comes to Luffy, Zoro got sooooo soft.
Pre-timeskip, Zoro scolded Luffy often for being impulsive, for rocketing people around, for blowing their cover, etc. He was mostly on the same wavelength as Luffy, but there were frequent moments of exasperation where he would threaten to cut Luffy (jokingly?) or yell at Luffy for being an idiot.
But post-timeskip? Those two years clearly did a number on our swordsman because compared to before, he is a complete pushover when it comes to his captain.
Luffy is quiet because he senses something is amiss? Zoro immediately notices and asks “What’s wrong” like a worried mother hen.
Luffy needs to get across a frozen lake? Zoro is already stretching.
Luffy is fighting in the coliseum despite being on an undercover mission? Zoro laments not being there fighting alongside him.
Luffy wants to cause a ruckus over Otama/red bean soup? Zoro draws his sword and is ready to tag-team this mess.
Luffy jumps Zoro and nearly suffocates him face-hugger style? Not only does Zoro not reprimand Luffy, he is over the moon smiling like a moron and offering up food.
A lot can be said about WHY Zoro is now so tolerant of Luffy’s antics, way more than before. But setting aside “why,” it’s clear that Zoro is officially Luffy’s number one enabler. He will indulge Luffy’s every whim. He will lay all their enemies at his captain’s feet. He will follow Luffy into disasters and celebrations alike. He will forgive AND defend all of Luffy’s wrongs.
This man is so whipped. This man is so soft for his captain. This man is a fucking marshmallow.
"AS I SAID TO MAX" please we get it you yapped to him he loves you
I'll help you with omega charles agenda because just look at him his face, body literally everything screams omega and I desperately need to see him get devour by oscar and max like absolutely fucked out of his mind (even better make it dark romance)
You just know both Max and Oscar’s nights were made that they were able to be there with their omega getting his first podium of the season.
