# BALTHASTARR ! EST. 01 / 14 / 18, REVAMPED 02 / 24 / 25

🤖 i.    this is a selective, private, + hc-based roleplay blog for baltha.zar br.att of the despi.cable me franchise. i used to previously write bratt back in 2018 under the url synpop.

🤖 ii. this blog is low activity and low pressure !! i'd label it as friends - priority. others are encouraged to follow and interact, but please do know at times i may find it quicker to write with those i'm closest with, mainly due to my own low energy irl and being busy ! that's not to say i'm not welcome to writing with others i don't know as well, ( we can also get to know each other too ! ) i just don't want it to seem like i'm ignoring anyone or having favouritism :-]

🤖 iii.    there may be triggering content on this blog, though keep in mind things will be taken rather lightly due to the source material. i'm unsure how often they will appear on this blog, but i will tag if they come up !

🤖 iv. i am single ship with @drucriminal and not looking to ship romantically or sexually, but other relationship dynamics are more than welcome! because of this, there will be dru x bratt on this blog.

🤖 v.    since i'm an adult, i'd prefer anyone interacting with this blog be 18 or older ! i doubt there will really be many "adult themes" on this blog, this is moreso just a comfort boundary.

🤖 vi.    i’m theo !   i’m a 26 year old butch lesbian that uses he + him exclusively.    i’m in love with nay ! i also currently write on @bgtop, @shpshft, and @glnnhrd. i have chronic migraines and a full time job that impacts activity !

@balthastarr ⚡︎ BALTHAZAR BRATT;

closest instigator. chick through a funhouse mirror. main proponent of chick's high blood pressure. best friend. chick met bratt for a one-and-done deal to serve as a getaway driver for a heist and then to promptly cut ties with money in both their pockets. thankfully for bratt and unfortunately for chick, the latter left with no money and a vendetta. a long back-and-forth ensued and now their hands are never leaving the other's pockets.

@drucriminal ⚡︎ DRU GRU;

chick's biggest fan. the second mcqueen. source of all chick's monetary dreams. also best friend. however much chick disliked bratt at first, he disliked dru tenfold. but dru is a source of miracles as well as money, because it took both of those to win chick over. thankfully, chick really likes winning.

WINTER-THEMED PROMPTS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON *  random assortment of holiday and winter themed lines that i came up with on the spot, adjust as necessary

this is just like that hallmark movie we watched.

can you stop quoting that horrible hallmark movie?

i am never watching a movie with you again.

come kiss me under the mistletoe.

i didn't realize it was going to be this cold. maybe i should go grab my jacket.

how do you plan on celebrating the new year?

have you ever made a snow angel?

well, don't you look festive!

i already bought your present this year.

could you help me hang this? i can't reach.

maybe we should turn the lights down low.

i'm really not a fan of the colder months.

i might need your help this year.

will you stay up with me to watch the ball drop?

that's not how we celebrate where i'm from.

i'll teach you all the family traditions.

we're getting everyone together for a big dinner!

how much time did you take off from work?

you sound congested. are you coming down with something?

that's the worst snowman i have ever seen.

i'm making hot cocoa. you want one?

i think we just lost power.

oh no. you are not getting me sick.

that's the ugliest sweater i have ever seen.

there's nothing to celebrate.

your singing is atrocious.

make that your new year's resolution.

come sit with me? it's nice and warm over here.

how does the song go? the weather outside is frightful...

the holidays were never very happy for me.

can we just plan for a night in? just the two of us?

i don't do well at parties.

are you expecting a white christmas this year?

behavior like that will put you on santa's naughty list.

if you put on another hallmark christmas movie, i will scream.

this is the season for giving, you know.

i could use some help scraping all this snow off my car.

the last time we went out for a walk in weather like this, you pushed me into a snowbank.

i still haven't forgiven you for hitting me in the head with a snowball.

it's supposed to get even colder tonight.

want to snuggle up by the fire with me?

this holiday means a lot to me.

i'd love to celebrate with you this year.

don't worry. i'll make all the food.

i'm having company over tonight.

your hands are freezing! let me warm them up.

i prefer sinatra's christmas songs, personally.

do you celebrate anything this time of year?

did your family have any holiday traditions growing up?

do you put up a real tree or a fake one?

we're going to my favorite chinese restaurant. it's basically tradition at this point.

i guess this means we're snowed in.

we should share a bed. you know. for warmth.

if you start getting cold, you could come sit by me.

personally, i understand where scrooge is coming from.

what's your favorite movie to watch this time of year?

we're going to cook one of my favorite meals.

the house smells incredible.

what are you doing new year's eve?

would you celebrate it? with me?

if the polar express showed up at your doorstep, would you hop on?

it's starting to snow.

while i finish this up, would you light the fire?

tell me about your holiday traditions.

is this colder than you're used to?

you didn't have to get me anything.

i thought we weren't exchanging gifts this year.

think i spotted some mistletoe in the hallway back there.

@thethndr. beyond the glimpses of the show that the film gave, what do you think episodes of evil bratt were like?

i do think that for the most part, his show is exactly what we see in the movie: wacky hijinks of a criminal child mastermind ! lots involving robotics, fighting, breaking into stuff, etc. probably some episodes where he breaks into a school and starts a fire and all the kids cheer. always saying his catchphrase during some part of the episode

however, i like to think that there was one episode that did poorly on air, possibly the finale of season. it would be a bit more somber than the other episodes, and one of (if not the only) episode in which he doesn't say " i've been a baaaad boy ! "

in my mind, i figure bratt in the show is an orphan like how he is hinted to be one canonically. i like to think there was an episode where bratt was wanting to know about his family or where he came from, with him possibly going to space ( or getting ready to go to space in the following episode. )

the audience didn't like it as much as the action packed fun stuff bc it was slower paced, the villain kids got bored and the villain parents shut off the tv or changed the channel to something more evil and exciting. after receiving poor ratings, they dropped the idea and didn't make episodes like it in the future. bratt quickly became insecure and defensive against the episode, quick to accept the audience's opinion and declaring it was wimpy and stupid. the episode was left on a cliffhanger and was never finished.

* tying in @drucriminal, i like to think dru mentions that it was his all time favourite episode and bratt's like " like GAG ME WITH A SPOON, you SERIOUSLY liked that ? " it was a very sentimental episode for him, and in his mind probably seen as very beautiful, and he wishes the writers had finished the storyline.

chick hicks fan AND bratt fan? how can someone be so based and awesomepilled at the same time??

my answer is quite belated but this ask made me smile soooooooo big, i'm really happy to know there's an audience that appreciates it!! i can't take all the credit tho, @thethndr definitely made me a chick fan first and foremost 💚 (with @drucriminal adding to the fun of course)

i had figured bratt and chick would be such an interesting n fun dynamic to think on since they've got similar attitudes n egos, genuinely writing stuff out with them and r has been just so much fun, definitely the most fun crossover i've done in a long time

they've got a bit of a two sides of the same coin deal going on, it's been fascinating to explore. i hope more people enjoy this dynamic too

happy first day of fall!! been writing a monster AU with @balthastarr and @drucriminal.... here's werewolf hicks

also it's monday so here's the team:

@balthastarr said:

" hey, chick. i have a gift for you, hold out your hand. "

His keen alarm bells are ringing. THINGS. Chick likes things. But this is BRATT. Bratt is not to be trusted. Still, the allure of THINGS. Chick slowly holds out his hand, retracts it, then holds it out again.

"OKAY, OKAY... you're not trying to pull one over on me, right?"

[balthastarr]

" what, you don't trust me ? "

as chick rightfully shouldn't, with that mischievous twinkle in his eye. lips purse as bratt reaches up, taking a wad of gum from between his teeth before squishing it on chick's outstretched palm. he curls chick's fingers around the gum, patting his knuckles with a tight lipped smile, eyelids crinkled.

" just for you. "

[balthastarr]

POW, POW, POW! / @drucriminal and @thethndr

[balthastarr]

bratt doesn't really see himself as a person. a character, something to sell, an idol, sure. but when it comes to defining "himself" outside of evil bratt, it would be a very big struggle for him. to him, evil bratt is who he is, and there's nothing worth questioning about it.

there's not identity to him outside of his stage name, there's never a moment where he's not performing to an imaginary audience. he's baltha.zar bratt, evil bratt, bratt. he's not really the type to be like 'evil bratt is all i have' though he definitely has the mental capacity and (arguably) the self awareness to realize this: moreover, i just think he doesn't want to. he likes playing this role, he likes being a villain, he likes being a bad boy. it's all a show to him, so he's going to perform like it

[thethndr]

carsverse bratt for @balthastarr, take two!! let it be known that there apparently is an official balthazar bratt car design that i only just discovered about a week ago.

[balthastarr]

[auckie]

I know I already have a post about this exact gif but the way he looks back at the viewer has just enamoured me I constantly think back to it when my mind goes quiet; it’s like he was caught unsuspecting while bathing nude in a life giving spring, and rather than flee he decides to play with you, In one quick little glance he instructs you to give chase through the babbling pool through the gentle curtain of falling water into a luminescent cove full of treasures untold.

[balthastarr]

ns.fw talk / hc incoming

given how br.att struggles heavily with self image issues and separating himself from his evil b.ratt persona, it would definitely translate into sex as well. since there's no way i can see him as anything but a virgin, i do think his first time would be a massive struggle for him wherein he struggles with massive performance anxiety, wanting everything to go exactly as media (ie p.orn) depicts it as, and if he can't (spoilers: he can't) then he gets very upset and angry. he'll essentially have a mini tantrum and mock any concern about it. it's incredibly overwhelming for him, not being able to do any do-overs coupled with having no experience.

this is also why rol.eplay situations end up helping him ease into approaching sex, as he can kind of play the role of a different character and gain confidence in something he's already got a script for.

[thethndr]

"HEY!! I was talkin'!"

But rather than getting up in arms about it, said arms cross instead and a weak pout comes to Chick's face. He's stifled a bit; whatever other demands he has to throw out just get tangled up in his throat, because recognition of his old reliable was a weak spot. Heads would turn for a classic like the 86 any day, but in the racing world of today, Chick's ride was nigh antiquated.

There, the car's demeanor flips like a switch to match its driver — aggression is pulled back and makes way for something that could resemble interest as this strange man scans it.

Guy like him — was that a dig? "Wouldn't you like to know. Couldn't replicate this if you tried."

Then, Chick scoffs. Flashy, distracting — Bratt's reputation seems uncanny now. Chick's been here not two minutes and already his attention has wandered.

"Look, don't you go changing the subject! We've still got business! I'm just leaving the CIVILITY of it aaallll up to you."

[balthastarr]

leaving the civility all up to him, huh ? this guy just keeps making all the wrong choices  —  all the better for bratt.    he catches the hiccup in chick's protest, a spark flashing in his eye as his lip twitches up.    it’s only a moment’s falter, but it’s all he needs.     

he notes the change in behaviour ( can cars behave ? ) as it parallels its soon to be former driver, loosening up around him.    clive might have a new buddy soon.    head tilts as bratt pretends to consider his words, before he presses luck further.

" hmmm ... but what if i did want to know ? "

bratt knows he couldn’t replicate it if he tried.    unfortunately for chick, neither could he.     he lets the question linger in the air as eyes move from the car to chick, not addressing the nature of their unfinished business.

and though he wouldn’t admit it outright, his penchant for robotics certainly has piqued his interest.    what he wouldn’t do to get a glimpse under that hood...    

this guy might not fall for gullible being written on the ceiling, but something tells bratt he’d chase it like a dog if he said it was on a car's bumper.    

and here he was worried this might be a challenge.    

eyes flit chick’s frame to see if he can spot the keys on him.    if he could jet it out of here with this bodacious machine and the spoils from the heist, this just might be the pick me up he needed. eyes stay fixed on chick as bratt scratches behind the car’s side mirror, wondering if it's as receptive as his own mechanical friend.
