Hello there! :> I'm not sure if the dynamic I have for them counts as shipping but I am quite fond of the pairing.
I headcanon Felix having a massive crush on Willy but is also in ultimate denial...It's very one-sided but mayhaps the silly one will reciprocate one day?
I'm sorry it took me so long to respond but I really wanted to doodle something as a response to your ask. Finally found time yesterday + today so here it is:
I really think Felix "Gay-panics™" Fickelgruber just needs to be more honest about his feelings. xD
Omg Kit- You can't just put me on the spot like that!! /light-hearted
If I really HAVE to choose from the films, it'll have to be Timothée Wonka - Johnny Wonka - Gene Wonka.
Info-dump below:
I grew up watching and getting obsessed with Willy Wonka through Johnny Depp from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). I literally have watched that movie at LEAST 60 times and it's one of my favourite favourite films ever!
(I might be the ONLY one having this opinion but-) That film is the most magical thing I have ever seen as a kid and Mr. Wonka is just the most relatable person to me. Also, how can you not love THIS face:
That later introduced me to the book by Roald Dahl that the movie is based off of which I read religiously. I never knew about Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) until I started seeing the memes!
Fast forward to recent times- To the Wonka (2023) trailer that dropped last June..I initially thought it was a joke because I just could NOT believe they would still make Wonka stuff let alone a film. But no, it was real (and I watched the trailer a good 20 times).
Went to the cinema TWICE because I was so absolutely blown-away by Timothée Chalamet...It felt like I was transported back to my childhood and all that whimsy came back to me at full blast.
He's so beautifully interpreted...EXACTLY how I imagined younger Willy to be like. Literally reignited my love for Mr. Wonka of 20 years! And the most important thing to me? It's so absolutely surreal to see a Willy Wonka that is the same age as me.
After that, I finally got to watch Gene Wonka twice in the last 2 months after knowing about it for idk-how-many years. AND I love him so so much too..??
He's totally different to Johnny Wonka yeah but once again- What's not to love about and relate to an unhinged chocolate man that has murderous tendencies? >:3c
It was so fun to catch all the little details / references they put in the Wonka (2023) film from that movie! Also, it makes the transition from Timothée Wonka to Gene Wonka all the more tragic.
Sorry for such a long post and info-dumping but I just really wanna talk about him and the amount of joy Mr. Wonka has given to me over the years!
Willy Wonka never steals but he has certainly stolen my heart. ♥
Hello again! Omigosh yes- Aaaa the question of the ages!!
I am a huge advocate of Willy Wonka x his Chocolate Store/Factory-
Have you seen the way that man looks at his store? When he first laid eyes on it? What a beaut.
But all jokes aside, I actually don't really ship Mr. Wonka with anyone. Especially for Gene Wonka or Johnny Wonka- I feel like the both of them just really need a friend or two who shares their passion and love for their chocolate and their factory!
Timothée Wonka on the other hand...I've actually grown quite fond of him x Mr. Fickelgruber! I wouldn't know if it counts as shipping as I headcanon it to be one-sided. As in Felix having a massive crush on Willy but won't admit it...Which in turn gets Willy confused.
I think Felix really just needs to be more honest about his feelings. xD
