The Dippin Dops
How I Feel: Doppio, my precious Doppio. Double shot of vinegar, good for what ails ya. We've talked about this. Doppio is lowkey the mastermind behind Diavolo's nonsense, because he's the one actually interacting with the real world while Diavolo hides under a blanket. He's the one who got the tattoos cos he thought they looked dope, even tho Didi is like "Fuck I can't have any identifying marks!" He's the one who bought that sartorial travesty, cos he's the one allowed out of the house. Doppio has more agency and uses it to his chaotic advantage, and I love him for that. Fuck him for killing my goths tho.
Romantic Ships: Donatella Una. If Diavolo hadn't freaked out, Dopes could've settled down and been very happy with her, raised their daughter, committed atrocities on the side.
Nonromantic Ships: Doppio and Melone are internet bffs.
@dippindops: Mel ffs you would not BELIEVE what this bitch in my head been up to
@bbyface: hdjdjjf what he do now ðŋ
@dippindops: he got some bastard kid he just found out about and now he wants me to kill her
@bbyface: ...w-worm? ðâïļðĪ
Unpopular Opinion: Hmm. I think people are coming around to the idea that Doppio is a feral gremlin and not uwu baby. So that's not too unpopular. I think my whole thing about Doppio being the one with his shit together is probably not too common of a viewpoint. Diavolo's just convinced himself he has a master plan; Doppio is the one who has to execute it, and also observe the world in real time to pull of shit like drawing Narancia's attention to the cliff and I guess murdering his mom and the priest and burning down the village but I'm not entirely clear on how that all went down.
Thing I wish had happened in canon: I wish he'd become aware of who the Boss was to him. He was Diavolo's youth, his tool, and ultimately the weakness he had to kill in order to ascend or whatever. Doppio got the short end of the stick his whole life. If he'd figured out who Diavolo was, that he was a part of him, I think Doppio could have become an absolute monster, and I would be right fuckin here for it.
