Ok ok I need to ask: what are Nilla and Maple's thoughts and feelings on the Pepper-Remi thing?? Do they know about it? (Also, when is Vlad getting naughty on their vacations?? No wonder why he's drinking so much lol)
Teehee such loaded questions!! Thank you for the ask!
So Maple has NO idea, she's the only one out of the loop on them and that is very much on purpose. Pepper originally intended on telling her about it after he and Vlad forced Remi to stop seeing her, but ultimately decided not to so he could start hooking up with Remi in secret again. The years passed, Remi and Maple started getting more serious, obviously Remi would never tell her. No one ever had the guts to lay that on her and risk being the cause of any weird sibling drama, so they treat the info like it's nuclear bomb codes.
Nilla knows all too well, having met Pepper freshly emotionally fucked by him in college. She kinda resents Remi for his incessant need to be involved in Pepper's life and how much stress it puts Pepper through. She isn't all too concerned about their past dating, though. She and the rest of the gang usually blame the ongoing tension between the two of them on Pepper being protective over Maple, not the ex-lover stuff. But, just in case, she always keeps an eye on him when he's getting belligerently drunk.
As for Vladdie, he's not getting ANYYYY. Only 'cause he goes about it all wrong, though. He'll usually arrive content with being single, then he'll drink enough to convince himself he could seduce Alex, convert her to heterosexuality (bro?) and ride off into the sunset with her. Then, after a not-so-polite rejection (along the lines of, "are you fucking stupid?"), he'll go drink away the embarrassment the rest of the week.
