I didn’t know it was May 4th until 5 hours ago
I have a severe problem of falling head over heels for characters that people “romance” because they find them pathetic.
Most recent example of my thesis is Josh, it might be due to the fandom general detachment to deeper analysis as a whole but I cannot shake off the feeling some of this people picked him because he was a “hear me out” and the most uncommon pick, or any variation of that sentiment. It’s always a matter of pity and wanting to stand out and I never see anyone at least bother to emphasize with him. So since I’m a new undiscovered type of petty this is just a “Reasons why I really like Josh” rant.
I didn’t really care for him up until I read the comics, and I think what really did it for me was the chapter where him and Bill make the television host go insane by constantly correcting him. Honestly the breaking point was seeing him be a bitch live. There’s a general hierarchy of “bad to badder” I follow with all boys
Jerry > Josh > Pete > Bill
There’s a serious overuse of the trope of the fat character being constantly a defenseless victim against the world and having only his bullying as a plot, but Josh is kinda more complex than that. (since thankfully he gets a lot of content in my opinion that makes us see him under a magnifying glass) Outside of the most important bit: he stands up constantly, he is not passive to the bullying he receives and he really FIGHTS back to it, some might say that his violent tendencies are immature and like..Yeah! He is a teen boy, let him throw a few punches! Especially because it’s a matter of dominance most times. Seeing him on his quest to job hunt and also see how he thinks really REALLY got me I’m sadly a slut for whatever this is. I’m losing braincells as I type I’m sorry I’m really tired I forgot my lunch and i think about Josh and I turn into a silly jelly.
But you get the sentiment ok? I like how he is a very realistic teen that I can somewhat relate to while also having active interests (Josh I am NOT a sci-fi fan by any means but I’d listen ok) and quirks and he is very adorable in my eyes. He is very cute I flutter my eyelashes wooooow boy yes Toys R us is plotting against you I won’t argue with you handsome. I don’t argue with handsome boys.
(Lie)
Kinda YES! More over this, Josh never was just a victim or humorous punching bag, I guess, but one of the most complex characters to show the reason of fandom's dark side being so problematic. I kinda see my old self in him -- someone going too deep in things to let them hurt myself and being angry for, like, unreal shit. Or being too deep into fandom to connect with real world. I even see some traits in my friends and people I know, most of them autistic and sure they understand Josh much!! He badly wants to be respected He is inattentive to people and routines, but concentrate too much on anything important to him personally: collections or trivia~wiki thigs, even if it causes horrible bulling with TV photecalls of writing hundred abusive letters to publishers. Or wanting his bobba fett head back He's egocentric and he aware of it. And sometimes even feel sorry for this, but forget about it soon and easily finds excuses (or hate everyone) like live-saving stratery He's probably physically and psychically can't learn by his mistakes but just wanna rule something important to him to fulfill this total disrespecting and empty place in his soul) And there are reasons I like his so much -- I can feel for him and not only hate for shit he makes but being sorry for him... and be happy I overgrow it somehow))
LENUNZIO WEEK 2026
DAY 7: FREE DAY TW: blood... Pete being himself, I guess)) Cute part of this: they visited a dentist together because Josh is too hard to make something with his life himself and Pete offer him a hand, like a good friend he should be... sometimes Trash part: he was turned on seeing Josh frozen bloodied mouth... their relationship not even try to seem healthy, why Have less time today and should go to work now, but that was fun) Hope to return to zenunzio theme as soon as I can)
Day 5: Love Language
Today it's an ugly drawing because i've been busy with some stuff💔💔
my hc,,, speaking of their teenage relationship (their situationship lol), when they're alone they'd be very affectionate physically, but they'd have difficulty expressing affection in words, probably also their love language would be giving gifts or doing acts of service (for example, Pete taking Josh's side every time the club fights over their stuff)
(and also i think, Josh and Pete as adults, wouldn't find it so difficult to express affection in words anymore)
APERIO -- the Sandman fan-comic about Cain and Abel TW: a little blood, killing, corpses, body horror, tumors, fratricide narrative
No translation yep because I'm too lazy) All you need to know: Abel dares to expect his brother likes to work on cemetery landscape because the earth rejects him and his gifts (and Cain dislikes it!) Lately Cain misses his brother, search and finally find his get back with a tree Abel begs to remove. Than Cain kills his with a pun of he "asked RIGHT GARDINER to do so"! Here i used a head canon that Cain can impact on a earth born nature like plants like it's withering by his presents. It hadn't been mentioned in comics, but i find it an interesting possibility by the Book The whole work being made for КОМЯБРЬ art challenge -- the 3rd yearly event for making short comics by the "1 day of month = 1 panel" rule. Who could imagine so harsh trial for local fellow comicsmakers?? Oh yes, that was ME >=) and I really proud of many creative and talented people participated this for each and all of three last years)
LENUNZIO WEEK 2026
DAY 6: Love languages
For me not even "love language" concept, but even their attempts to interact friendly seems weird, so for any strangers their LL looks like Chinese))
Long badly grammarly written post with nuances bellow) I rarely talk about these guys so having my best time to explain what I mean, lol)
They both highly temperamental egocentrics. And have no really understanding of "healthy relationship" concept. Also they not communicated for years and grew up differently. Like Pete had to accept the fact Boba Fett incident is IMPORTANT and not just child-absurdity (for a man whose family threw all his collectibles away and forced to act adult)). It's mostly about how much straight and attention (for people like them) they spent to love each other.
--They really like to talk about some shit. Josh kinda likes fucked up stories (from the upper level of iceberg of Pete's live) and Pete accepts the concept of Josh's infodumping (he's even demonstrate active hearing and throw out interesting thoughts like a man who know fandom stuff but not so involved now).
-- Physical comfort. It took time they fully got each other borders (because they both enough awkward to hurt other people unintentionally... or intentionally, yep). They can be cruel like unhealthy childhood friends, but then moodely get into other's personal space (and sometimes being punched back because "it's no time for this, i'm working!!"). Suddenly Josh felt easier to involve in feeling of each other body and touches when it was his old known and less annoying friend. Fortunately, Josh's insensibility let's Pete be as cruel and bloodthirsty as he wants. One day Pete noticed that weird smell of Josh's bed linen seemes "hommy", even if he lost the need of home. After months of separating they both suddenly remember the physicals sensations of each other presents near (even leaving in the fandom in his head Josh)
-- Pete argues and yells at Josh often, mostly because he honestly feel
Josh isn't right in many aspects of life (an opinion of expert who's gonna go to jail for serious crime, yes))). He can't even stand how can Josh be so stupid and stubborn sometimes. But for other people Pete not so involved and not give a fuck if you gonna hurt or die. Go you way, dude! Josh is just special boii Pete wish better life and use his toxic ways to tear him from the ceiling
-- For giving gifts and time: Pete have no big problems to shop for Josh when he's not feel like to go outside or don't have money for delivery. He's even can cook something eatable when in a mood or not distracted. Josh tries to pay him back by making small requests like pic Pete up somewhere in town (but without great joy, being thrown away from his fav activities and schedule and will compensate it with something he likes or with passive aggression)) -- Josh's not really involved in Pete's lore, it's not a science-fiction after all!! But he tries to remember some facts about him and what he's like, especially if they can do it together of he have some benefit's from this. It too decades to him to remember Pete's blootype and other medical information (at the edge of problem situation... he's bad at noticing other people problems at all)). But he remember he likes canned pasta because of collectable shit on it))) Hey, it's even more than he knows and do for his own parents! That's the level!! -- Didn't draw it here but they both can give stupid cheap selfish gifts for each other. But most precious for Pete was a key for Josh's flat with Darth Maul on a chain. Frome some unpleasant events at work he hides it in storage near place Josh lives
-- For the short Josh likes be heard and liked for being one who he is and can share time but mostly if he interested in activity. And also physically accepts Pete. And Pete likes to touch Josh when they become closer, spend much time for him and needs a comfort and acceptance himself, kinda like this??..
Day 5: Middle aged
i feel like at that age Pete wouldn't be interested in fandom stuff anymore (just his horror stuff), but Josh would be, and he annoys Pete by showing him and complaining about things that happen in his fandoms lol
LENUNZIO WEEK 2026
DAY 5: Middle aged
Wow, they survived youth! (don't ask me how many people survived less because of them)) And they even trip half the world to pilgrimage for middle eastern cult places... like SW Tatooine set) Probably Pete had his interest like one of European horror cinema fests. And probably after turbulent youth he's left porn-bussines and find a small place in ordinary horror industry. Sometimes fans trying to call him off, but he's tough. And Josh... is not changed at all)) Probably found a therapist to work with brain cockroaches and studied how to work and don't sabotage it, conflict, argue with people . Yep, he's not a DC editor for god's sake)) but he finds own ways to rule his fav stories from bellow x.)
I love this meme, so I decided to have a go at it!
Is there anyone more fitting for this meme than Don "This is not 'DuckTales'" Rosa?
Day 4: Shared Interest
❤️🩹i feel that would be one of the main reasons why they would have that feeling of closeness between them
LENUNZIO WEEK 2026
DAY 4: Shared interest
It could be easier to draw them as teens: obviously they had more in common at their 17, like comic fandom, early movie-francizes, collections. Any things that aren't really matter for Pete anymore
Or are they?
In adulthood, post-epilogue -- when I draw them mostly in the active phase of the relationship -- I headcanon them stay together a bit longer than they should because of two fundamental things: forgotten joy and comfort (not really actual, but they easy felt it) and sexual tension. Not the bast reason to stay together, yes))
The interesting thing I wrote for them (that's not actual canon-based, but have an opportunity to be) -- Pete rejects most of his "kidhood" hobbies (except horrors) (and sometimes Josh hardly UNDERSTANDS how much Pete is not into it anymore, being... an autistic man who likes to talk about his life-long-fandom-love with old mate)). But these talks appears to be something Pete kinda needed to connect with his traumatized inner child in his harsh days, no matter how much he denies it. He's not gonna return in wide fandom water, but returns to Josh to feel something more of it in kinda comfort condition. And retunrn to absolutely unhealthy fandom nehaviour tovards all the people around x.) PS^ he tried to show Josh movies he worjing on, but Josh hardly understood and after arguing Pete left it behind.. still a bit sad, but becalms himself his horror-porn IS NOT FOR POPKORN SUPERHERO IDIOTS, lol)) Same reason Josh rarely share with him his texts.. he wants to live happy for five minutes more and frustrate because of other people, but not from Pete he sleeps with))
LENUNZIO WEEK 2026
DAY 3: AU
If you only knew how much I don't give a shit about making alternative universes. It took me a while to make a touch on some ideas for this pic. Like thinking about my fav past time settings etc. Here I just praise my fav early science-fiction and fantasy era, early 1900-ss, the genesis of fandom culture x.) Also I really liked that time and kinda steampunk wibes of it, so drew some art and comics in this setting years ago, lol) Can't tell I know how teens communicate those times (I can't even writhe at english properly, lol)) but let it be))
Day 1: "Prologue" (kid versions)
sigh,,,, before they became horrible people
Day 2: DND characters
ft. homphobic bill 💥
LENUNZIO WEEK 2026
DAY 2: DND CHARACTERS
I'm not pretend I ever played DnD (all my play behavior concentrates on imagining unrealistic scenarios with imaginary people, often not even invented by me)/ But @lynntor played! And wrote a lenunzio drabble personally for me about one DnD evening at club were Jerry allowed any gender RP, and Josh with Pete took their best time acting like overheated battle couple, almost french-kissing in front of Bill until he blew up and throw them all out on ass)) He were just a bit jealous no one romanced him, but corpses (he played necromancer)) Probably we throw all the drabbles we wrote for each other in the internet one day, but we could participate ao3 and translate it first)
