#CDDWTD Mojito

[popfizzles]

Please tell me Smith would also support his sister if he knew. I really like Smith as a character (despite what happened with Mac)

My tags on that post go a little more in depth about Smith's side of things;

Do I think Smith was at some point in his life, a little susceptible to homophobia? Maybe a little. He's from a rural, likely hyper-religious upbringing. Been "the man of the house" longer than he can remember.

But Mugman’s very openly queer. Mojito’s entire character arc is coming to terms that he's been sitting on feelings for his male roommate for years. And Smith would kill for either of them, no questions asked.

Smith already went through what he needed to be normal about the topic of different sexualities.

He doesn't talk with Mac or Goldie about their love lives and sexualities, but less because he would be judgemental about it, and more that he doesn't want to pry or hover over his little brother and sister's personal lives.

If she ever told him, he'd do his damnedest to make sure she knew that he still loves her and it changes nothing.

Who does Mugman go drinking with!!

[popfizzles]

I don't think Mojito has ever been called handsome before 😳

[popfizzles]

Smith and Mugman are pretty evenly matched!! They do a lot of the same thing to work out, actually, mostly manual labor around Isle One.

But, despite everything, I'd like to think that Mugman has done more. let's call it. brawling >:)

I refuse to include Plink in these hypotheticals. Plink did nothing wrong.

Jax, however, is a different story.

Life is too short to sit there hoping and waiting and wishing for something, Mojito. Sometimes, you have to take things into your own hands.

[popfizzles]

...he's cool i guess.

Mojito would never admit it to his friends, but he likes bumming around the Devil's Casino. To him, Hell is just another place to visit, and the alcohol there is so much better.

He'd never hear the end of it if he told people, so he never mentions it. And he especially doesn't talk about his dad, ever.

Some nights he'd SWEAR he sees Mugman talking to his dad, Rumulus, and Ginette. And Mugman swore off the casino a long while ago. You couldn't pay Mugman to even step over the train tracks.

But the casino is dark in some corners, and Mojito can never really trust his eyes when he drinks.

So, Mojito never brings it up to Mugman the next day.

hits you with the little-guy-ification beam

Mojito's father is Ol'Ethan, the pale rum who works behind the bar at the Devil's Casino.

Compared to Rumulus and Ginette, Ol'Ethan is the friendliest of the Tipsy Troop. He's kind of a bumbler, and likes to run his mouth about anything and everything, and gets even worse when he's been drinking. Mojito likes his dad a lot!! He tries to be accommodating when he can be, and will sit politely while his father talks his hypothetical ear off.

He isn't really worried about the relation his dad has to the Devil's Casino. His dad seems pretty happy, all things considered, and they don't particularly struggle with anything. It's why Mojito feels so comfortable visiting Inkwell Hell. It's not really a place of sin or preying on hardships for him. It's just a place.

And like I said before, Mojito is the last to figure out that he's bisexual (and he hasn't actually figured it out).

But I do think that Ethan would be very supportive and kind if Mojito came to the bar with a man on his arm on day, and would talk their ear off just as well. <:)

Does anyone else have a bad ending or is it just the Sins?

Well if you're asking if others have "soulless forms", it's just the sins. <:) But the dynamics it creates between the sins and their old friends/family sends ripples through everyone else's stories, creating "bad endings" for them too.

Here's a few that I've been rotating in my head these past few days;

Mac and Greed. Mac listens to Greed talk, and it makes him realize he deserves a whole lot more in life, after everything he's been through. The trouble is, Mac doesn't really know when to stop taking, and it lands him in some hot water.

Mojito and Envy. Mojito choked down so many hurt feelings regarding Red Solo for so long. Jax didn't deserve him like he did. Envy convinces Mojito to just take what should have been his in the first place, no matter the consequences.

Smith and Sloth. Smith works his ass off all week and never let's himself put his guard down. Sloth gets him to slow down for once. It's nice at first. But Smith ultimately starts napping through his life falling apart without him there to hold everything up.

Elder Kettle, Greed, and Envy. The Devil wants his two best repossession men to go all the way to Isle One and "do a welfare check on an old friend of his". The old man in the empty house insists that he owes nothing, and that the two should leave before things get complicated. But Greed and Envy know better. Everyone on Inkwell owes some kind of debt.

Yarrow and Sloth. King Dice's personal tailor provides costuming and uniforms for all the casino workers, including the sins. But for some reason, he seems to take longer during Sloth's fittings, and dote on her with a sad look on his features. Sloth doesn't mind. The man seems kind of like a workaholic, anyway.

what would Red think/do if he found out Mojito harmed Jax…?

Oh, very easy.

Red would never want to associate with him again.

He'd question quite literally all the time they've known each other. All that trust would come crashing down within seconds. He'd make plans to move out immediately.

Red would have never thought in a million years that Mojito had the capability for that amount of violence. Mojito was rough around the edges, sure, but he never got physical.

Guess he was wrong.

Red wouldn't feel safe with him any more.

[popfizzles]

BRO MOJITO'S BAD ENDING MAKES ME CRIMINALLY UPSET. ENVYS A HORRIBLE MUPPET OF A MAN FOR THIS.

MUPPET??

All Envy does is talk with Mojito.

He talks with him over a few drinks at the bar (a comforting, and sickeningly familiar feeling for the two of them), and Mojito can't help but pour his heart out when Envy notices him getting in his head about something.

About his roommate, who's dating some... Some selfish prick he can't stand, he can't even look at without clenching his fists and grinding his teeth! It's not his fault. Red Solo deserves so much better, someone who actually cares about him.

Someone like.. you?

What's stopping Mojito from just taking what he wants? What he deserves, what he's owed. What should ALREADY belong to him?

How hard could it be to just.. get rid of the problem?

[popfizzles]

omggggg is Mojito like jealous?????

[popfizzles]

📂 How about Mojito?

Mojito looks pretty dirty and messy (and he, admittedly, kind of is), but he smells OVERWHELMINGLY like strong mint, to the point of giving people who are not used to him headaches...

[popfizzles]

📂 more Mojito maybe? 🥺

Mojito spoke a lot of Spanish as a kid, but doesn't much any more. Nowadays, the only times Mojito speaks Spanish is to his dad.
