The way Fredo's has two hundred percent more hair because WE STAY WINNING

[rogaloid]

In my opinion, Under the barrage of jokes from Tommy and Sonny's gang, it seems Fredo had very little Chances to believe in himrself and come out unscathed

And what chances did he have? Connie is Connie, everyone adores her, Michael is Dad's favorite. And Fredo? Poor Fredo.

Ps

I'd like to see another prequel about the Corleone mafia family's origins. But with all those siblings, it might turn into a sitcom.

got high and started watching an Al Pacino fancam on repeat with my face pressed against my tablet screen and my hands cupping my eyes like I was peering through window glass

If u can plz draw Fredo as an awkward teen or smth like. Or him doing something cutesy (twirling his hair talking about a girl or kicking his legs and being silly) btw thank u for offering your awesome art skills to the masses 🫶

hi!! i loved this ask so much but i got so sidetracked haha. it made me start thinking about little fredo and i just think he’d be such a silly child. also no problem! i hope i made the fredo girlies happy ☺️.

going back to sicily with a random child i picked up off the street

okay so i just found your blog and OMG i love all your art so so much!! i think im developing severe the godfather brainrot and im so glad someone else appreciates fredo bc he’s literally just a pathetic little guy to me!

I love to meet people with the same flavor of brainrot as me 💌

[saturn-c]

i adore your art and illustrative style, it’s such a big inspiration for me!! i just wanted to say i love your content and thanks for sharing. i know fredo’s your guy but i was wondering if you had any specific headcanons about michael! and maybe the dynamics he had with his siblings growing up.😊❤️

auuughh thank you I'm going to disappoint you with my boring headcanons

He sleeps in full flannel pajamas like a crazy person.

Not a coffee guy (puked it in the military too often)

He probably gets into poetry and old man literature and this is the extent of his 'free time'

He's high-strung and prone to twitching & leg bouncing, like Sonny. He just hides it better. Best example of this would be in GF1 Michael playing with his lighter in the Vegas scene, his angry facial tick when Kay confronts him, etc. Fredo and Connie don't do this

Spent a decade carrying on a mock-war with Sonny over Yankees vs Dodgers. Neither of them really like baseball but machismo sports talk is the only way they can pretend to connect with each other lol

I just rewatched the Godfather movies and I decided that the only good scene in the third one was when Michael had that stroke. I don't know why, but I like how the scene is and how it caps off with him calling out for Fredo. I also believe that the movie shouldn't have introduced a character like Vincent, but I have a soft spot for him so yeah. What do you think about the third movie? (Or I'm I the only one who kinda likes the third one despite it being a little bit boring?)

I've thought about it since my initial take and I say it's OKAY!! I like that we get a softer Michael instead of Pacino repeating himself a third time. And it's good that the Corleones have become just another unscrupulous corporation, even if it makes for a less entertaining story. Michael shed his humanity and this is where it got him. He remarks, "The higher I go, the crookeder it becomes." It's what you deserve, Mike! (But also, the business was never going to survive under the beloved 'Godfather', so Mike had no choice to become what he did, chicken vs egg, blah blah) The incest plot is still bad. And the long-lost bastard son thing tastes like cheap sequel gimmick… I wanted the script to really lean into that cheese. Like, make Vincent actually Fredo's kid and keep the audience in suspense about his intent. Is he loyal to Michael or is he conspiring to avenge his father?? LOL And I know this is blasphemy but I LOVE Mike's short hair, I think it suits him. He's not vain enough to dye it/keep it long c'mon
