"Five years before the Joining, Carol and Helen prepare for the last leg of Stormshadow of Wycaro's book tour before an unknown pathogen cancels their plans.
Meanwhile, an indecisive Kusimayu stresses about what college major should be before her parents fall ill with something she's never seen before.
Travel junkie Zosia is on a trip apart from her spouse when every single flight back to Poland is cancelled.
...Months later, hidden away tight and well aware of what the fuck is going on, Manousos stays inside at any cost necessary.
Kepler-22b watches and waits for the day they can spread their love to the people of Earth who could really use some cheering up as they survive a pandemic."

I think it's fascinating how present Manousos is in one of the early trailers, and visually paralleled with Carol, even though he doesn't show up until later in the season. Notably, them both being associated with the color yellow in two driving scenes that fade into each other:
And that they used the song "You'll Never Walk Alone":
When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm There's a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain For your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

so many popular examples of fandom racism are barely actual fandom brand racism bcs white ppl (and honestly too many non black ppl) need outright in your face blatant stuff as proof to shocked and appalled by. most of it is the classic "I'm not touching you style" that's easier to gaslight around which is what a majority of racism is, gaslighting. slave fics a tortureporn of characters of color are awful but that's like individual weirdos who it's easy to mark off as obviously racist. The attention and outrage surrounding these little incidents allows everyone to feel better because of how exaggerated and one off they are, bad eggs in a good batch etc.
Real fandom racism is watching the darkest characters get boxed into the specific outsider pov trope over and over despite them being a core member of the cast. it's watching everyone have in depth headcanons for every character but them, denying them the complexity their counterparts get. It's them getting written out of their own plots, receiving little to no audience sympathy when they ARE complex, and, most importantly, watching them get cast in the same exact role when shipping comes in
but all this isn't loud, it's quiet and unnoticeable unless you've had to watch it play out with every favorite character you've had ever since you were ten and started engaging with fandom. it's repetitive, uncreative, infuriating and worst of all NOBODY WILL LISTEN WHEN YOU POINT IT OUT because you're just imagining it and they're not touching you. I've been making my own content and I've seen how people will go out of their way NOT to engage or engage specifically only to discredit a character of color.
it's not a one off thing or even a small pattern, it is what fandom culture is BUILT on, picking the palest skinniest most pathetic looking man in the cast, projecting onto him and ignoring literally everyone and everything else whether that be fanon over plot or the interesting female or darker skinned characters and masking racism behind fanon tropes
people being able to categorise discussions around fandom bigotry as 'fandom drama' and 'making fandom less fun' is always so interesting because fandom is not a safe space for people in marginalised communities. and if them fighting to make it safer for themselves and speaking up is 'ruining your fun' then you can go fuck yourself actually

its been too long. los pal amos
fic authors self rec! when you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. let's spread the self-love 💗
yuss love this positivity!!! anyone seeing this post: FEEL FREE to spread this on!!! i just get nervous sending asks. self love!
my top 5? hmm hm i've had a ton of fun writing all of my fics [and especially this one that I plan to publish in a week or so!] so here are my favorites!
collision course: oh my love, first time I've written a multichapter fic in like... years. it's silly and chaotic plot wise [but is also balanced out by the power of friendship and connection] but it was a blast to write and discuss. because what if carol and manousos had the dumbest road trip ever go wrong? heist scenes, fights, insults, arguments, and more! the more is genuine understanding and a deepening bond.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/76809216/chapters/201052016
the last black tear you cried: fic I wrote for pluribus week [i AM working on the last 3 days!] to start it off with hive!carol. now, I adore hive horror fics and desperately want to see more of them. a bad ending is something I wanted to explore, and I wanted to explore what made carol sturka carol sturka not only through her own eyes but also through the eyes of the only other [living] person who doesn't want her to change. i always have to drizzle in los pal-amos crack everywhere I go.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/81290976/chapters/213690731
togetherness: confession, i'm not entirely happy with the title of this fic. i like it but it doesn't have the same oomf to it, yknow? but writing the story itself was actually so much fun. i'm a sucker for 5+1 and human connection in pluribus, so i tried my luck at writing my favorite character in six points in her life where she was touch starved/in need of support. theres carol and her mom explored, carol and her first crush, carol x helen, carol x laxmi, carol x zosia, carol & koumba, and carol & manousos. a big carol fest!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/81827321
benefits: okay, shameless plug. this fic has single digit kudos LOL which i totally expect and am completely fine with but I wanted to yap about this fic. i haven't written a koumba-centric story and I also hadn't strayed away from los pal-amos/sturstead except for the occasional sturxmi. I was curious on if I could write a carol-less fic [failed, shes mentioned and haunts the narrative]. in writing this draft about koumba i drifted towards manousos since I think when they meet shit will hit the fan! one thing led to another, and now koumba and manousos are both women and they have lesbian sex with each other!!!! whenever there's a guy in a fandom? two guys? make them into women for a one shot, multichapter, fanart, etc. its fun!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/82357756
letters from a lifetime ago: two out of four chapters are out so this is an unfinished fic sadly </3 but so far I've had so much fun researching and coding every part of this fic. it has interactable letters, and helen & manousos!!!! I love the only two people who don't want carol to change <3. this is a pre joining au where manousos and helen were childhood friends and pen pals, and one day carol tags along to visit manousos in paraguay with helen!! writing two characters, carol and manousos, having typical stubborn clashes because of their similarities, is fun, but adding helen? the person who magically knows what to do with both of them? it's perfect.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/80490926/chapters/211374781
okay my five fics are done! let me continue by recommending five fics I always come back to!
no one knows us by agentdanascully: https://archiveofourown.org/works/80115141
ahhh this fic oh I love it so much!! it is so unbelievably sad and emotion invoking but it also has some really unexpectedly funny moments too! i love the overarching sturstead focus and of course the los pal-amos. i come back to this fic SO often and always love reading it each time.
happy new year, carol by iamoutoftime: https://archiveofourown.org/works/76437116
a short fic but also incredibly good! i love the amount of fun headcanons and quips that are in this fic!!! i absolutely love to see best friending-isms with los pal amos especially when they get to learn more about each other/their cultures. hilarious yet sweet at the same time <3
a drowning by incogneet0: https://archiveofourown.org/works/76136646
this is one of my favorite plurinus fics of all time, and was actually the first non-sturstead fic i had read. probably the first time reading a manousos centric one too. as i mentioned before i wanted more body horror-hive fics and this one crossed every box I was hoping of. great characterization of both manousos and the hivemind, very realistic! full scale of human emotions, guilt, grief, and fear all wrapped into a hot one shot. author @tapacamino is also extremely kind so always an added bonus!
the criterion of embarrassment by seabiscuit: https://archiveofourown.org/works/76474571/chapters/200132866
i'll admit I don't tend to read stursia fics too often but this fic came at just the right time. seabiscuit's killing eve fics got me hooked and you can imagine my positive surprise when I saw a pluribus fic by seabiscuit. this fic has, of course, good stursia. wonderful angry-deplurbed zosia. wonderful hate sex. and my god, the los pal-amos in this fic is just perfect. both chapters characterize the three so well and there are hilarous ass moments sprinkled in with this wild sex LOL. definitely deserving of having the most kudos in the tag :]
nothing on this planet is yours by the_truther_is_out_there: https://archiveofourown.org/works/76003576/chapters/198854106
if you would have told 2025-august-wycaro339-fan me one of the most detailed, well-researched, and edge-of-my-seat thrilling fics in the pluribus fandom would be a slowburn romance between the stubborn autistic colombian and snazzy james-bond wannabe diva? who haven't even met yet? i'd laugh in your face. now? i'd read it front to [current] again and again. such detail, crafted with love and respect and accuracy to the actual events and cultures represented. it's so refreshing to see a story that focuses on non-USamerican culture in what is a show with an american protagonist/has such strong themes of colonialism/cultural resistance. from the flashbacks to the current day to the [newest chapter as of May 9th]? oh just WONDERFUL. please follow the author if you haven't. he's just kind and hilarous and such a great guy to talk to. @gay-manousos-truther enjoy yr notpiy break but remember we all love ya and the care u put into your work!
okay big long post done. thanks mattie for tagging me!!!
