thinking about the Charlie's birthday stream. not the ending, no, we think about that too much. no I think about everything else:
the happiness, the joy, the warmth of it all for nearly two full hours
the lack of mob spawns that night because it’s Charlie's birthday and he has eggs with him. how intentional it is. how funny it is and how sad it makes me because its so considerate
thinking about Tallulah by Charlie's side the whole time, diligently leading him from item to item as his little "guardian angel". Charlie trying to be a good tio and falling a little short sometimes, accidentally leaving Tallulah behind when she crashes but still trying cause that’s his sobrina. how she has to actually hit him to get his attention and how bad she must feel but it's so fucking funny each time
(how can anyone blame him when he never gets to hang out with the eggs enough to know he should wait for her? Charlie had Juanaflippa for what- 10 days? and was practically shunned by several others and himself from interacting with other eggs after his action, which is understandable, but only for so long. can they not see how he plays with the eggs? hear how soft his voice gets around them? don't the other islanders understand?)
this is maybe the longest he's gotten to hang out with tallulah since he got his backpack. Wilbur is his best friend and this was the egg he left behind. He's still learning and Tallulah still loves him despite it. Two people missing someone dearly, yet they have each other even if it's hard to realize
thinking about "Maybe Tallulah, you were the gift. I think you're the gift, Tallulah."
thinking about Richas, his nephew because Charlie has Mike, an actual brother that is equally excited to see him time and time again. A nephew coming around with the slime head and slime balls, like a mini Charlie, who is decked out in a full ghillie suit. Charlie who plays with the egg, pretending to be a spooky monster and richas playing along and getting scared
thinking about Charlie not knowing how to use the ghillie suit properly so he's still clearly visible to the eggs, yet they act like he isn't for his sake. shepherding him around from place to place because charlie is a little clueless yeah (he's in exile, go easy on him), but they are patient and happy to "tag along" and let him lead
thinking about them all taking a picture with him in the school, charlie wanting one with both of them, something to remember the day by.
thinking about how charlie is clearly loved by the eggs, his huevos, and how he clearly loves them back and is trying to be better for them even if he struggles so much
thinking about Charlie Slimecicle on his birthday, for once happy after everything he's been through, Tallulah and Richarlyson by his side
just him, his sobrina, and his nephew on a little scavenger hunt under the stars while the rest of the server remains quiet and calm. asleep while they remain lively
just them
happy

Red Son is actually such a cool character when you separate him from shipping.
He’s not angry and hot-tempered, actually, he’s just very dramatic and has a constant flare for making things more.. extravagant than they need to be. He’s actually more dramatic than Macaque is with the way he presents his inventions and his own person.
He rarely gets mad. Mostly annoyed but never down right mad at either Xiaotian or Xiaojiao.
He also seems to lack social interaction and doesn’t understand a lot of social cues? At least, from what I can remember he’s thrown off by how friendly Xiaojiao and Xiaotian are and almost seemed overwhelmed by it.
Cannot really tell if he enjoys hanging out with them in small doses or if he would prefer spending time alone. Because when he does “hang out” with them it’s not up to him — they’re always saving the world from a bone spirit or healing people from spider poison. And he wasn’t even there for the final Azure fight so he wasn’t really needed for that. He just happened to show up at the beach ending scenes but he seems the happiest when he’s with his parents or alone? It’s weird
He’s not as social as the other two and frankly sometimes it just feels like he’s watching over them to make sure they don’t die or something
But he is so cool
