They're both wordsmiths. They're both politicians that are good with their words, albeit in slightly different ways. The two of them working together for a common goal is LETHAL, especially when involving wordplay and manipulation (even with the negative connotations, but c'mon. When you're good with words, that's just kinda how it goes). Quackity's a conman, Wilbur a skilled writer and poet, and both of them have a history of giving speeches and otherwise public speaking skills.
That being said, they're super good at manipulating their outward presentations, particularly with how they speak to people.
The kicker?
They can't do that nearly as well with each other. They have decades behind them of manipulating their words, of pressing things into their outward shells to appear certain ways, but they just cannot hide how fucking stupid they are for one another.
Insert an old post I saw a while ago that was just "Get yourself a man who despite his lifetime of repressing his emotions can't hide how smitten he is for you." Because that is also them, both of them, at each other.
yup literally canon that's just straight up how they are
referencing the poker hc, they not only know the manipulation tactics too well, but also each other. It's just a constant "Wilbur you're not getting me to agree through affirming the consequent. We're not getting a 5th box of dino nuggies. Grow up" and "Quackity I know exactly what you're doing. You're not making me believe that doing the laundry was my idea all along." but also lots of "Wilbur you were overusing this logical fallacy already in pogtopia. i told you that then, and i'm saying it again now. it's not working" and "Quackity i know you can talk around the subject so good you made Schlatt forget that he was asking you why you smell like me, but you're not gonna distract me from the anniversary plan I clearly saw on the table and how it clearly had a 'shibari class' on it"
Fat Chinese baby vanellope or something
Yada yada yada, head canoning there was an original King candy who was vanellopes father who got killed by Turbo, the usual head canon. I also gave a name to the original KC... Perfetti van Melle schweetz. I like the name I've given him low-key

you can recognize yourself through the fictional character. but watch out
Does anyone remember Spy Kids? I just re-watched it after years XD So here’s a quick sketch of Carmen and Juni!
I fucking adore L'Manberg cabinet era
All these relationships between this unorganized group of people, pulling the blanket of power over themselves (Q), the psychological consequences of war and becoming president in the blink of an eye
MINUTES MAN RANBOO
I just wish more was done with that

I'm not specifically a trans boy/man but but I can relate to transmasculinity in my own genderfluid way
That feeling of finding a community of other queer kids like you
Silas Bell
Same as above but also:
Autistic on top of that
Special interest in surgery (as a horror movies/gore enthusiast I can get behind that)
I barely even know how to describe it but like,... that feeling that fucking feeling of seeing pieces of yourself reflected in others, that feeling of there are other people like me, I am not broken and I am not a mistake and I am not a problem to be fixed and someday may we destroy this world that thinks we are those things
+ minor detail, blonde hair
Miles Abernathy
Same as both above but also also:
AROMANTIC!! 😭😭 MY BOY IS FUCKING ARO!? I actually have representation?! 💚💚🤍🩶🖤 aaaauuughh 😭😭😭😭
Hating capitalism so so much
Specifically mentions not eating specific foods because they have the most awful textures
Loves his doggy 😊
+ minor detail Supa short hair, just totally buzzed all short (mines like half a buzzcut)
Sorry I still can't get over the aro part 🥲🥲
I cant get over how Wilson will literally change his personality based on the person he’s trying to comfort. With his wives and girlfriends he’s soft and gentle, with his friends (Cuddy) he’s comforting but honest, with House he’s blunt but he lets House talk. He’s mastered the art of caring for other people so well, but would he honestly let anyone do that for him?
Hi there small note on this, one of my favorite historical trans figures is James Barry. He was a british surgeon who also did some work with the military. High ranking guy, really good at what he did. Well after he died some nurse discovered that he was a biological female the whole time and it caused some discourse in the medical world at the time since the guy was revolutionary. Really neat stuff, please read his article in the national uk archives (the us should really document people like this ngl.)
To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.
