Max and Aypierre : what they had in common.

Analyze time ? Analyse time.

So I said before they were alike, right ? Time to develop.

Their way to deal with pain, angst and suffering :

Hiding in work AND alcohol (and food for Q!Max ). One will sink himself in his machines and castle, and the other sank in Order Theoritas when he lost Trumpet. Their loss give them strenght to create things for not fall inside the black (lol) but for this they sink themselve in anything that can make them deal with their dark thoughts by hiding them under the floor.

Their way to hide how they feel and why :

They will, both of them, choose to NOT talk about what they really feel, choosing sentences with double meanings or way to say things in the tone of their voice. Example ? All the things that did Max to try to flirt with Forever, the "I drink " in answer on how Aypierre copes with Pomme's loss. If they have a problem they will choose first to HIDE it to people. The best example is obviously Max's leg, but in Aypierre's case, the way his dreams affect him. Even to Pomme he never says, how he awoke with shaking hands and tears and even ask to Cucurucho to never tell ANYONE.

I will just precise one thing : if you manage to have Aypierre's trust, he will talk more about what IS happening to him. But NEVER all the pain. And both of them for the same reasons : not worry their loved one. They will always do what they can to ease the anxiety, mostly with jokes which can make feel that "oh yes, it's not so important" but with other topics,too, sometimes.

They will put on a smiling face with jokes, most of the time. One of them a way too much, so people won't take him really seriously and won't see him as someone who can really care about anything. And it may have affected their relationship as well since it can make him harder to believe. And I m pretty sure it did. In Max's case, make believe that he succeeds to get over the pain, for persons who don't know him. And that he fell just like Aypierre. (If I watched only Aypierre's point of view, I will have thought that he was interested at first when it seems that it came a little bit but later ).

Their communication problems and with words :

These two have REAL difficulties to say NO (Max ) or I like you (both lol) or tell the other what they think. One of them because he is afraid of being controlled and seemed to be weak, the other is used to keep his frustrations to himself and doesn't have enough self confidence to think that what he feels is worth and that he can be loved for who he is. Example : "what you really want" and how Aypierre STRUGGLES to say what he wants with silence, and "exclusivity" before saying "I only want you" and what Max said about Dan during Dio de los Muertos that he (himself) wasn't worth of being loved and that's why Dan disappeared.

In Aypierre, it got better with public hugs and saying more and more openly how he missed him (Time, trust....), in Max's case, it worsen with his leg and the choice he asks without really saying it to Aypierre. Him or Pomme. That's what it really was, when he asked him to follow him. Aypierre thought they had time, Max knew they haven't and was thinking that in this island where the Feds control everything they can't be happy and that Pomme was already dead and taken away by the Feds just like his son. He wanted to be healthy and happy and was thinking he can be outside the island. He made plans with Aypierre, was willing to go with him. But he chose Pomme, even if he said "I m unsure I will follow you". He understood, yes, but in Max's mind, (with his dispair and lack of confidence ) it may have reminded how worthless he was as a choice. (He isn't but that's how he sees himself ).

Their love for their children :

Ow, yes, they love them REALLY a lot. They will do ANYTHING for them (wanting to win Purgatory even if it means betray teammates, go everyday in Dio de Los Muertos area to take care of him ) They are the reasons for A LOT of things they do. They both have the "Don't forget, you're here forever" with photos of their children with the same message "Do it for him/her". Their children is their everything, their number one priority. Yes, both of them were not always the best parent, but they cared A LOT about them. And if they loose them they...... sink. One in violence and revenge, one in revenge (sorry, destroy the Federation is revenge XD ).

Revenge (We stay with the mood ) :

They BOTH have revenge tendancies. Aypierre......... it's really obvious (Ayrobot is WAY WORSER of this than Aypierre..... I think that the two cuts comes from him, but the salty comment where from Aypierre ) XD. In Max's case ? Destroy the Federation. It's a way to avenge himself for what they did to his family and himself and the other islanders. He wanted freedom, wanted to take it by force and destroy them, with no regards of the workers. No direct violence, but a NUCLEAR BOMB. XD It's just that Max's revenge is more cold blooded, more thought about, more insidious. On this, none of them is better XD It's juste that one them is more thoughtful about that and think more about casualities and consequences (...... I know not at the last moments, but he was at full despair and madness, so... ). If Aypierre is fire, Max is ice, with revenge.

Their hate/disdain/distrust about the Federation :

You laugh, I heard you. Aypierre, hate the Federation ? He works for them, hahaha. And..... no. He....... does the EXACT thing that Max made. He..... PLAY WITH THEM and USE them. Max, using the Feds ? Remember.... Who Max tricked to become a Minime dealer AND repair his machines ? Cucurucho. And what did Aypierre ? He become their wine maker to KNOW IF THEIR WINE WAS A THREAT TO EGGS AND to protect Pomme. He wants informations. And Aypierre is a character who doesn't go often in direct conflit. Will always use subtles ways (music, masked man, great smiles with mean words behind his back ). For someone, as entire as Max, his way of being is shady and untrustful but..... the only way for Aypierre to have infos are to stay openly on Cucurucho's good side. And the person who knows what he did in the past IS Cucurucho. But ow he hates them and distrust them as much as Max did. The only difference is that one of them have no real problems to use Federation more openly than the other.

And that's all folks for today. If I find something else, i will gladly make a new post. (maybe one day for the problems they have as a couple XD ).

Not my best but oh well! :B John Watts Young

personally? as a LONG-TIME fitpac shipper, id be fine if theres never any wedding. especially since both qpac and qfit have said theyre not really marriage guys, the former having trauma related to it and the latter having slight commitment issues and isnt ready to have to make that big of a commitment (i could write paragraphs about qfit and that commitment issue and how being a nomad in the wastelands does that to you but. i refrain). fit is perfectly fine with this just being a long-term partnership, and i think pac would be fine with it too. you dont need to have a ring or a piece of paper or vows to love and care for someone to the fullest. marriage is not needed if you dont want it, as long as you love someone, you love them. nothing changes when you marry, and nothing ever should.

Aypierre's letter to Etoiles

Dear Etoiles,

I'm taking a moment to express my deep gratitude for the incredible journey that we have undertaken together in the world of adventure and exploration. Your courage, honor and rich culture have enriched my experience invaluably, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Since the start of our partnership, I have constantly been impressed by your fearlessness and your determination to push back the limits.

Your ability to face challenges with remarkable grace and resolution has been a source of inspiration for me many times.

Your honor and integrity are rare and precious qualities that I respect deeply. your commitment to our shared ideals and your willingness to always act with righteousness have strengthened our bond and contributed to forging an unshakeable trust between us.

Your culture, rich in tradition and in ancestral knowledge, has broadened my horizons and allowed me to see the world in a new and fascinating angle. Your tales and teachings have lit my way many times and made my journey even more memorable and significant.

However, I must also express my regrets for the Badlion incident. I recognize and deeply regret my actions of that day, and want to present my most sincere apologies. My behavior was unacceptable and in no way reflects the deep respect and admiration I have for you as a partner and as a person.

Despite this regrettable episode, I am convinced that our partnership will continue to prosper and grow, as I am admirative of your strength, wisdom and unshakeable ethics. I am honored to be able to walk at your side on this epic adventure, and I am impatient to see what the future has in hold for us.

With all my gratitude and respect,

Aypierre

(For anyone curious about the Badlion incident, Badlion is a PvP Minecraft server that Aypierre and Etoiles used to play on. Etoiles would always win when they fought, and one night after losing multiple times Aypierre turned on his autoclicker and managed to win. He was then promptly permanently banned from the server for cheating.)

My favorite silly qsmp headcannons that have like zero canon evidence

The French version:

Antoine is a eldrich abomination as old as the earth itself, man was just chilling in some dark deep cave eating the eventual mobs or unfortunated explorers, scaring the living shit of people from time to time, until Etoiles strumbled on his lair and proceded to try to fight him and then befriend him as one does

Antoine is very dedicated to act as a human(tm)

Everyone knows he isn't one.

But it's a silent agreement between everyone to just play along with him, because that is very important to him and that's their friend, if he doesn't want them to know he is a ancient horror they wouldn't.

Baghera stabbed someone once because they are going to mention the fact that humans are, actually, not able to just float.

It took Antoine an unholy amount of time to realize Etoiles and Baghera are not in fact humans.

He still doesn't know Pierre is not human either.

Actually, no one in that godforsaken Island knows Pierre isn't human even if the man has mechanical parts in his body and can talk to machines.

He has absolutely no plans of telling them either because he finds it absolutely hilarious. And also, he doesn't actually know that the fuck he is either.

His machines are very vocal, he doesn't even know where they learned to swear, but boy do they do it like sailors

Pierre genuinely believes there are no actual full humans in the world. For him everyone is just a hybrid or has at least a hint of something other in their blood.

Etoiles trauma dumps in the most fucked ways. Man will just casually mention some terrible thing that happened on his past, or how he once suffered such terrible injuries he wanted to die but couldn't even manage the strenght to kill himself so he just waited to die of thirst, or something equally as fucked, and he will say it laughing, like is is telling the absolutely funniest story ever while everyone is just horrified.

He 100000% does it on purpose

Kameto went looking for milk, accidentaly found a way out of the Island and is now locked outside with no way of contacting others because he left his communicator behind

Baghera can communicate with ducks and once she actually physically fought one that was being a little bitch

She lost

Antoine and Pierre have the pictures

Sometimes when Etoiles stays in the rain for too long, flowers will blossom on his hair

Baghera used to be able to fly, or at least she thinks she did, so now she still feels the instinct to throw herself from any high place she finds with absolutely no warning

The Island having perpetual summer is fucking with Baghera's personal clock bc she does have the instinct to migrate in winter but winter just never comes

Posted this on Tiktok earlier (same user as here if you want to follow) with the relevant audio but figured I’d cross post the images here cause why not

I tried drawing Neil Armstrong, but he looks a bit more Steve Roger-y to me :\
