#Hunch curio x Dan fucks x the Fix x pasha

[auteurdefeu]

I am one sleepless night awake from making an in-character ask blog for my Mentopolis polycule ( Dan / Hunch / Fix / Pasha ) and making it everyone’s problem because this silly crackship idea means so much to me for no reason. Tubberbox can no longer contain this insanity it must be Tumblr’s problem now

(That being said, enjoy some Tupperbox screenshots from me and @turtlelover59)

(Note that it’s my personal hc that The Fix’s “real” name is Charlie and you can read about that here)

Some suggestive jokes ahead, fair warning 🫡

They are all idiots and I love them all so much. Rhi and I make them all so tragic for no reason so enjoy the silly vibes 🙏

Hello and Welcome, one and all!

I’ll admit that I’m not sure yet what I’m going to do with this account, whether it is just to share the brainrot of my crackship or make it interactive as well, but either way! If you’re wondering how this came to be, you can find a bit of information from my main account here:

The Origins Vague Timeline Headcanons Aesthetic

As for the relationship statuses;

Fix & Pasha — married Fix & Hunch— dating Hunch & Dan — engaged Hunch & Pasha — dating Dan & Pasha — dating Dan & Fix — queer platonic partners

I know the Mentopolis fandom has kind of died off, so I don't expect this to get much engagement, but I will be posting a poll later to see what direction I should take with this account. My ask box is open, as are my comments, so feel free to send anything you wish in the meantime while I'm getting this figured out :)

Hunch going to Fix for proposal advice, unaware how badly he fumbled his proposal to Pasha (I say this was so much love and affection). I imagine the outcome of that would go a little something like this:

“So, Danny, what do you think about… Detective Fucks?”

“What, me? A detective? You’re funny, Hunch.”

“No, of course not! Me :D”

“…What?”

“Fucks is a family name for you, but I’ve never known another Curio so I don’t mind giving it up.”

“WHAT.”

Crackship polycule/open relationship where Dan & Hunch are in a happy relationship but Hunch is also with the Married Nerds (Pasha & Fix).

Someday, someone out there will hear me out. It was a joke until it wasn’t.

[auteurdefeu]

I would love to be known as the blog that talks constantly about my Mentopolis crackship polycule but I don’t even know how to explain how we got to this point, like. Rhi and I completely understand it but I have no idea how tell put it in words for the timeline how Pasha and Dan ended up in love and how Dan and Hunch now have a child that fully didn’t exist in canon. There’s also so much tragedy between Hunch and The Fix?? Ive really got no idea what the timeline is anymore but it’s. It’s something. It’s insane and they mean so much to me.

[auteurdefeu]

Can I ask to hear some of the thoughts about the crackship polycule

Alright, so. Welcome. This is gonna be a doozy. I will do my best to explain the timeline @turtlelover59 and I came up with and keep it PG-13 because it is A Lot at times. This started off as an idea about Fix&Pasha being FWB with Hunch, who is in an open relationship with Dan, and then it spiraled from there.

(I headcanon Dan as gender-fluid but will be using they/them pronouns in reference to them for this :p)

> Pre-Canon, Hunch and Pasha had feelings for each other in the countless times they crossed paths at work, but they never acted on it, putting their work first. Hunch always asked for her input on his cases when he could because she was so much smarter than her shitty desk job seemed to account for. He was truly fascinated by her, but he never found out her story until much Later.

> Hank made a point of mentioning that The Fix worked for several people at the table of PIs so I’m choosing to believe he was hired on occasion by Hunch, who took up a few important cases that needed someone eliminated. We all know Hunch’s track record in fights, so,,, he calls up someone capable, and their interactions were limited to that.

> Canon Shit Happens, Hunch realizes his feelings for Dan and helps to set up Pasha and Fix before he eventually gets with Dan. Around this time, Fix and Hunch also start getting closer, as a “friendship therapy” sorta thing, talking about their experiences on opposite sides of the law

> Dan learns about Hunch’s former crush on Pasha and teases him about it, encouraging him to follow through on it if she was open to it. Similarly, Pasha and Fix discuss their lack of romantic experiences before getting together and upon mentioning how she used to have feelings for Hunch, Fix gets curious heh. After much discussion, they propose having a few no-strings-attached Meetings to Try New Things (you can guess what I mean) and it’s absolutely fine, things are going well

> Surprise, strings are attached. Pasha and Hunch finally start to develop the relationship they were too scared to try all that time ago, and it’s around that time that Dan is invited to join a few of their Meetings, not wanting them to feel left out. Hunch is beginning to realize just how much he likes The Fix, while Fix is having a time-period-typical crisis about liking Men, and the fact that the last time he liked a man (M. Bition) his feelings were used and manipulated to get a job done

> Communication is hard especially for men so they just don’t talk about it until Hunch gets himself into trouble because of course he does. It's not until after they have him patched up and stable again that one of the Wayward Interests (their name is Skipper, a pirate interest, they'll be relevant later) tells Hunch how scared Fix was. Hunch had no idea Fix could be scared of anything, let alone for him, but they finally talk and realize just how much they mean to each other and make things official between them

> After the last bad injury, Hunch starts using his walking cane! (yes I'm projecting chronic pain onto him) He's had it for a while but was too stubborn to use it and thought people might view him as less capable because of it, but he does need it. His partners actively encourage the use of it once discovering he needs it (and tell him he's very handsome with it<3) and Fix goes as far as to get him a fancy one so he feels more inclined to use it. This means so much to me.

> Uncle Hunch and Auncle (genderfluid aunt-uncle) Fucks. Hunch gets along with all the kids, utterly adores them. He puts on little cloud-puppet shows for them, always having some sugar-coated stories of cases to tell. Dan always pretends to hate them, calling them little shits or rapscallions, but they love playing with them, chasing them and spinning them around, making them laugh. Skipper, the pirate interest, quickly becomes their favorite because the kid keeps challenging them to fight and is incredibly cocky and adventurous. Their stubbornness is perhaps a bit too similar to Hunch.

> While Hunch and Fix are developing their relationship, Pasha and Dan find themselves with more time together. Dan helps out with the kids as much as they insist they don’t like them, but could also be found helping around the kitchen (Fix and Hunch are banned. Hunch gets distracted and mixed together horrible things and then the appliances are all just too small for Fix so he breaks them). Not only that, but Dan’s into fashion and likes helping Pasha find outfits… especially for an upcoming Nondescript Fancy Party. While Fix and Hunch are playing catch-up in their relationship, Dan and Pasha dance the night away tonight and Dan realizes their feelings might be more than just Sexual Attraction.

> Dan and Pasha, as pleasure and passion, aren’t exactly sure what they are but there’s something there. They’ll figure it out in time… as far as they’re concerned, they’ve got all the time in the world. It would be absolutely terrible if something awful were to happen to The Four that deeply traumatized them and set them back from any advancements in their relationships because they had to be more concerned with processing their own shit first.

It gets way darker from there so I’ll leave it with that vague ominous mention. Somewhere in the mess of events, Hunch and Dan get engaged as well, and eventually unofficially adopt Skipper. Their jobs aren’t exactly kid-friendly and they’re both workaholics so they wouldn’t be able to fully accommodate having a kid but in their many visits to the orphanage, Skipper started calling them mama (Dan) and papa (Hunch, of course). To throw in some more fun things while we’re here, Anna has a sort of maternal relationship with Hunch, very much a tired mother making sure he doesn’t do anything too stupid. I’m all about those found family vibes if you couldn’t tell. Hunch also gets a little stray cat! This is not important at all, I just love cats.

Just a. a glimpse at the few things that I am leaving out for the sake of my sanity and the sanity of those who made it thus far in reading. The unmentioned timeline includes, but is not limited to, a near death experience, a brutal murder, extreme manipulation and child endangerment. It got REAAAAL bad and it keeps getting worse unfortunately. I adore these four but for some reason they can’t ever be happy… but! I’m writing something perhaps a bit more hopeful for ao3 to spread my silly gay agenda.

[holds up the photo dump for the audience like Vanna White]

Some polycule moron aesthetics for the audience <3 (apologies the brainrot is hitting again)

I will share your words with the world, my dear friend. And I will continue to think intently about them.

(If you’re not caught up on the lore of this account, Rhi and I came up with an open relationship/polycule of Dan/Hunch and Hunch/Fix/Pasha and though I have not had time to post about it more, it consumes my every waking thought)

[auteurdefeu]

Please I want to know more about your Dan/Hunch and Hunch/Fix/Pasha headcanons I’m begging

Oh yes. I have so many.

Hunch makes sure to devote time to each of his partners, he's practically (unofficially) moved out of his apartment considering how much time he spends the night at either of their places (and then of course, late nights at his office working). Whenever he's at the orphanage, though, he's the go-to for kids who can't sleep and want some company. He makes little cloud puppets for all the stories he tells them <3

Pasha and Dan are platonic girlfriends, thank you. Daniel Fucks is genderfluid, and in this essay I will—

Ahem. Anyway. I just think their dynamic could be pretty fun as pleasure and passion but I don't see them having any romantic chemistry. They do "fun nights out" and dance together, and Pasha is definitely the one to tease Dan the most about how he pretends to dislike the Wayward Interests all while playing with them and making them laugh every time he's over.

If we're using humanoid heights... Fix is 8', Hunch is 6', Dan is 5'6" (short king) and Pasha is 5'4". The height differences make me feral.

Hunch and Pasha would have the most modern-trope-y dates with getting coffee together and going on walks through the park. Fix and Pasha rarely have time to go out on dates together given the fact Pasha has a job and they have to take care of the kids, but when they do, it's mostly domestic stay-at-home stuff, like movie nights or baking together (Fix is too big and awkward for using most kitchen utensils so he is there for moral support and taste testing). Fix and Hunch have the "Good Old-Fashion Lover Boy" kind of dates, and yes I mean the Queen song. Hunch and Dan don't go on proper dates, usually drinking together at Sugah's. They are the type to go out and dance and probably make out in the rain, though, because TROPES!

Hunch has a cane because of how perpetually injured he is (and the old-timey detective aesthetic!), but he always forgets to take it out of his office with him, claiming it's inconvenient to carry around. Fix ends up getting him a more fancy refined one as a gift better tailored to his height, leading him to using it more when he actually needs it.

Pasha and Hunch curled up together on Fix's chest for cuddles :( he's so Big !! It's so easy for him to hold/carry them both.

You'd have to ask @turtlelover59 for their headcanons on the petnames Fix & Pasha give but since I have hyperfixated on Hunch (more specifically HunchFucks but shhh..) I can offer what he'd call his partners <3

Him calling Dan Danny will always live in my head rent free. He started calling them "Princess" as a joke based on how demanding they can be and it just became less of a joke over time. In turn, Dan calls him "Angel" (in reference to waking up and thinking they were in heaven with him) and "My Phoenix" (in reference to his fast healing and supposed immortality). "My dear" and "sweetheart" are classics for Pasha, sweet and simple. I feel like they have such an innocent kind of love, like the Hallmark movies :( as for The Fix... I want Fix to have a more personal name, rather than just 'the fix' because it feels more like a title, his job occupation. That is something I will get into in another post if people are interested but Hunch calls him by the name he chooses for himself to distance himself from his Previous Work™️.

I do not have the time or energy to write more fanfiction but I am hoping that spreading the brainrot might inspire people... :,)

Whatever shall we do?

I'm anticipating this blog will have little reach, but for those of you who are interested, I want to know what you'd like to see from this account!

If you think it should be something else, feel free to reply in the comments or send something through my asks if you feel more comfortable doing so :)

[auteurdefeu]

I am so pleasantly surprised that people are willing to hear me out- Rhi and I accidentally created a full timeline of events for them and it started off nsfw (once again, it was supposed to be a JOKE) and then it became surprisingly emotional and just so?? Allow me to provide a few examples;

Pasha and Hunch knew each other pre-canon, and because of Tropes, it wouldn't be too insane to think that perhaps they liked each other but never acted upon it, always choosing to focus more on work... Hunch helping to set up Pasha and Fix because he knew she deserved someone good and he trusted Fix with his life

Fix realizing that despite how often distracted Hunch is, it's just because he loves the world and wants to know all about it. He truly means well, that's why he's a detective of the people, he helps them find the truth and find peace when he's not solving Elias' mysteries.

The poeticism of Fix and Hunch being two scarred men who fought on opposite sides of the law, their battles always ending the same way; Fix always won, and Hunch always lost. And yet, they still ended up on the same side.

Dan & Hunch still being uncles to all the Wayward Interests even when Hunch gets with their parents (we can agree Fix & Pasha are fully their parents now, right?). Dan keeps acting like he finds all the kids annoying and they're just little shits, but he so clearly cares about them and is often an enabler of their chaos. They are also the PDA couple that all the kids scream "EWWW" over, but Hunch is thankfully more subtle with their parents.

Hunch's partners all having an intervention with him about his wellbeing and how he needs to stop throwing himself into danger.

The Fix coming to him again to get patched up after an unexpected run in and Hunch realizing just how much worry he causes them when he gets hurt because he's absolutely fretting over Fix despite knowing he's more capable of taking care of himself than Hunch ever was.

Hunch learns so much and it makes him so happy. The kids are often telling him about their interests, something new every time he stops by, and Pasha & Fix's habits of flirting via fun facts carries over to him as well.

Pasha and Hunch going on cute little coffee dates, finally catching up on all that time they wasted before. Talking about their respective work, them both so happy to finally be taken more seriously in Mentopolis.

Fix still trying to figure out who he wants to be, and still unsure for a while what he feels about Hunch. He's never loved a man before, nor has he felt such deep affection for more than one person... but Hunch is willing to try things at his own pace, always happy to pursue something new.

Pasha and Dan drinking wine together talking about how oblivious their boys are. Actively working together to set the other two up- "I hope Fix takes his chance, I think they would do a world of good for each other..." "Hunch isn't even subtle! He's an oddly charming bastard, whether he means to be or not." Dan tried convincing Pasha to take bets with him on how long they'd take to make it official and she politely declined. She happens to know some of the older kids are doing the same thing.

The other kids have a better understanding of the relationship, and are happy that their parents are happy, while the younger ones are just happy seeing their Uncles more often.

They have been consuming my mind for DAYS NOW. Hunch/Fix in particular has made me extremely emotional but them overall is just so,,<333

If someone were to ever write fanfic/make fanart about any of this PLEASE let me know, I am desperate to see content for this silly crackship

Crackship polycule/open relationship where Dan & Hunch are in a happy relationship but Hunch is also with the Married Nerds (Pasha & Fix).

Someday, someone out there will hear me out. It was a joke until it wasn’t.
