Quite the opposite with me - I take sadistic pleasure in the universe breaking petey cuz he's just cuter when he's broken!>:D

It's great that you give even the most marginal characters some limelight, like Ginny and Maria as well as the fanon family dynamics because I would have liked to see them more explored in the actual show. I do wonder though, is Nino's favoritism towards Dino real or just "sibling rivalry"? Canonly, I thought he prefered Joey.
