I saw you liked being poked about the despicable driver au... And I randomly got curious how they would all act at the pool.
How would they jump in? Would someone push someone else in? Any funny wacky pool toys/floating things? Who gets a sun burn? Who drops their ice cream or drink, and how do the others react? Who has the best beach outfit? Things among those lines is what I wonder.
we do love being poked very much!! thank you for this ask! you made our day!!
you're also in luck because this is in the ballpark of things @dru-gru, @dykes4dru, and i have talked about for them before.
all three of the despicable trio are summer lovers; it helps that their respective movies both came out around summer, so the vibes are already there.
dru's manor is the hotspot for this activity but occasionally, as a random passerby, you may find that the hotel you decided to stay a night at had its breakfast dining raided and its pool closed because three strange men who didn't pay for a room are there annoying the patrons with their presence. they're sometimes spied at the beach or at lakes as well.
chick doesn't use any sun protection and is tan as tan can be while you might as well be lighting bratt and dru on fire with what they're going to look like by the end of the day:
dru is the one that drops his ice cream before chick picks that thing up bare-handed off the cement and puts it back on dru's cone. dru resumes eating it.
we were chatting about bratt wearing a very classic striped one-piece swimsuit like this, as illustrated by @/dykes4dru:
but then while hunting for references we made a very fine discovery:
despite all odds it's a mite too tight on him. chick has photos saved and has them posted on some social media where he frequently contemplates them on a bad day.
bratt's the one in the water most out of the three. we've seen DM3. just in case you've ever posed the age old question of what if michael jackson was a merman. meanwhile chick can swim, and does enjoy it, but he's slightly more likely to be seen lounging from the sidelines or on the ridiculously large car inflatable shown above that likely has some chick hicks branding on it. dru has a ring floatie that resembles a pig, but if you're at the pool of dru's manor then there will be actual pigs in the water. there'll be real pigs. minions too.
on the topic of shoving, no one is safe. dru is the only non-instigator of this but that won't save him from the crossfire. it's a joke well worn out by this point but neither bratt nor chick will ever think it's not funny.
i once had a headcanon that after chick's racecar, murphy, came to life, it had a natural aversion to bodies of water because it's not waterproof. by being inherently linked to his car, chick also gained some of this aversion. but in his point of view he just woke up one day and for seemingly no reason the idea of setting foot in any body of water made him want to piss himself. probably got over it eventually, who knows. i don't know if i still stand on that headcanon but it's still amusing to me either way. watch out if you're in a pool with chick hicks and he's exhibiting signs of a paranoia mood swing.
