Fics like Poor Little Bird

I have read some incredible Punch-Out fanfics, and I have a soft spot for works that really hash out the backgrounds and backstories of the contenders. What makes these "minor" characters tick has always been fun to explore. Today marks a painful anniversary for Glass Joe. As if the poor guy doesn't put up with enough. He finds solace and friendship from another WVBA boxer who knows exactly what he's going through- Von Kaiser himself. I depict more of Von Kaiser's hidden soft side, as well as the tragic life that led Glass Joe to be the persevering boxer we all know and love. I may have gotten a bit carried away? There's something enthralling about exploring the psyches of characters like Glass Joe and Von Kaiser, who clearly suffer from mental illnesses yet have to put on "manly" facades for their careers. They're fictional but unfortunately toxic masculinity is a very real problem. Special thanks to everyone who has ever shared a Punch-Out fanfic, for all the amazing headcanons and relationships.
