well yes of course!!

"Oscar's Pastries" is the name of Oscar's little patisery/coffee shop.

he's a pastry chef who walked away from a high-stress fancy french hotel kitchen where he didn't have a good time, he was basically burned out from culinary exploitaion, and decided to fuck off to monaco and open a little bakery-pastry shop.

he moved to france to study in culinary school and dedicated most of his life to that, so he doesn't know much about celebrities and all. he knows everyone in monaco is loaded though, and that's why he opened his shop there, but he doesn't know about who's who or why they're famous and filthy rich.

so, when this hot, handsome man walks in, and asks for three coffees, a fancy pastry box and a pupccino he's like "hm this guy must be like a model or something" and then goes on to try to figure out what's his name from the three the coffees he ordered, he's dorkily charming, obviously doesn't know who he's dealing with. and the guy [charles] just leaves a ridiculously large tip??

charles is hooked because. who the fuck works(and possibly lives) in monaco and doesn't know who charles is? he's not even offended just intrigued, and let's be honest oscar is cute too, so. he comes back and this time logan (the barista who's supposed to be manning the counter) is witness to this fucking madness

logan wants to tear his hair out because "HOW ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH THIS GUY AND SUCCEDING WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHO HE IS!?" osc: "sooo.... is he a famous actor or something?" log: "you're hopeless, i won't deal with this shite"

eventully oscar figures it out, and they get together and oscar becomes a wag and goes to work for ferrari's hospitality for a weekend or two, and they fall so much in love and they're so soft and it's disgustingly sweet.

that was my long ramble :))))

First of all can I just say this is one of the best pages of the whole manga. Karasu was gonna slime him if Aiku hadn't stepped in. That face you make when your idiot teammate is saying some bullshit in the middle of a high stakes match instead of locking tf in (I'm channeling Karasu here).

Was procrastinating on finishing a fic and ended up doing this instead of writing, and it got longer than the actual fic

If it’s Chrollo, you’re possibly one of these:

- A FOSD (Fellowship of the Shadow Daddies) member: You love shadow daddies and likely tell yourself he’s one. Your world’s Chrollo would kidnap you and keep you close and kabedon you with a cocky smirk. And he also wears leather gloves for the drama, has a knife strapped to his thigh for reasons only you know, and he’s like 15cm taller than canon, probably. You believe you can fix him, and frankly, you could fix that version.

- ‘I’m not a fan, I’m their kin!’ Truther: You didn’t expect Chrollo to become a favorite. But you saw this weird guy who’d like to be disconnected from his emotions, even tho he feels them so fiercely, who speaks in awkward declarations as his first language, who can’t put into words who he is and what he wants in life and what are his dreams, and you were like « ahhh, the early mid-life crisis rep I’ve always needed. ». He’s snuck up in your list only by virtue of being lost and confused and relatable in a very macabre and lonely way.

- The Complaining Connoisseur: You like psychology, complex expressions of humanity, and so… you decided he’s fertile grounds for your yapping. Thematically rich and narratively full of symbolism. He has everything to be your favorite, and to be one of the greatest fictional characters ever written, but you’re likely unsatisfied with how little Togashi has given you. Worry less, Chrollo’s masks are falling.

- The Artist: His overall aesthetics and vibes tickled your creative senses way before you dived into the Phantom Troupe lore. You don’t necessarily see him as a CILF (Character I’d like to Fuck) or as someone you relate to. He’s something much more confusing and comforting… He’s your muse. Conventionally beautiful, but everything that’s wrong about him, and all that’s missing, and all that suffering ad melancholy fuels your art. His inner world is on fire, his eyes are bottomless, and that fascinates you.

- The Enthusiast : You think he’s a great antagonist. Cool chara design, cool powers, interesting backstory, smart and quirky. Your list of favorite antagonists in medias may include: Johan Liebert, Anton Chigurh, The Noah Family, Sephiroth, Hannibal Lecter, Griffith, Morgana Pendragon, Sensui Shinobu, Tywin Lannister, Front Man/Hwang In Ho, Sakurazuka Seishirou, Aizen Sousuke, Uzuki Kei etc. You probably have the same tattoo as him somewhere on your arm or back.

- Villain-Fucker: You just like antagonist leaders, to be honest. Anyone slightly evil is a hommie in your book. You see them fight and cheer each time someone’s getting skewered, or when the hero’s ass-kicking is about to reach the nakama speech stage. Maybe you just enjoy morally dark characters, and find them fascinating to read/watch. Maybe evilness gets you hot and bothered. All’s fair.

If it’s Feitan, you’re possibly:

- ‘Call to the Mothership’ Receiver: You relate to him on an existential level. You get called a cold, grouchy, unfeeling bitch but in reality you’re just nerdy, practical and choleric and done with everyone’s shit. And you likely have some evil in you, but that’s okay, you haven’t been given a dark cloak and a spot in a criminal organization yet to be a societal problem. You read the news about « local grandpa loads a water gun with fart-scented soap water and pursues a band of teens » and you’re like fuck yeah I get him!

- Cute Aggressioner: The type of person who gets swatted for no reason by your grouchy cat and you’ll still smother it with kisses and pets 2 min later. Your cat growls at you and you just stare at it with puppy eyes, and call it « my emotional support murder-mittens wielder » in a baby voice. You saw this short man going on 30 be an international menace and you couldn’t think or see past the fact he’s cute, has eyebags and bed hair and likely sleeps through his meals. If you could possess Phinks or Chrollo to handfeed him, you would.

- FOSD member: sure, shadow daddies are tall and dark and handsome. But he already ticks two cases here, and you absolutely adore short kings. The image of a 5 ft alpha male cooking enemies up and wielding a sword-umbrella is the hottest thing you’ve ever seen in your life.

- Comrade: You’re a short person who supports short people’s rage and wrongs.

- Brooding Seeker: You just think edgy hoes are cool. Your list of favorite characters include Sasuke Uchiha, Hiei, Bakugo Katsuki, Kujo Jotaro, Vegeta etc. Black and greys in the chara design is one must, and them looking like they could be thrown in a horror game and bite a demon’s face off is another.
