#I’d have a good couple nickels LMAO

[misiahasahardname]

Hey there! If you’re still up for doing the ship bingo then can you tell me your thoughts on:

Polylights

Cabtube

Knickle

Knifecase

Baseball x Nickel x Balloon (idk remember what their ship name was lol)

Marshplebow

and Payjay?

You don’t have to all of these if you’re not feeling up to it I don’t mind. Have a great day!

P.s

I would have also asked about Cheesepickbomb but someone already beat me to it lol

YIPPEEEEEE THANKS FOR THE ASK

POLYLIGHTS

in a previous one of these i said „you know a ship is going to be good if it involves the core lights”. well this one has ALL OF THEM!!!!

sometimes i wish polylights meant ALL the bright lights together but like it doesn’t. but heyyy it doesn’t matter. these four are already BRILLIANT as a friendgroup, and they could make for a DAMN GOOD COUPLE!!!!!! i mean i already ship lightbulb with both testtube and paintbrush (HEAVY on testtube) so adding fan into the mix cant hurt anyone right???? every pairing you could have within this group would work out brilliantly. though just like generally any ship that involves testbulb is a ship i’m guaranteed to enjoy

headcanon: i feel like the ones that come up with the date ideas are usually fan and lightbulb, though usually their idea of a good date isn’t really… conventional. i’m talking teirlist making sessions, recreating themselves in cake form (and see whose is the most convincing), paintball fights, awful low-budget movie nights, getting pizza… on club penguin and other various things. testtube and paintbrush just go along with it most of the time (whatever makes their partners happy, i guess)

CABTUBE

OUGHHHHH BABY THE THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

look i can’t say these two invade my thoughts a lot but when they do it’s just. holy shit bro. GOD, TESTTUBE HANDING OUT CABBY’S FILES IN THIS EPIC BETRAYAL MADE ME SO ILL OMGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!! god i love themmmm actually omg. divorced yuri fr‼️‼️‼️‼️

headcanon: i haven’t watched iii in a while so you can point out if this is like. out of character or innacurate or whatever. but. i think cabby has long gotten over testtube. she misses her genius but she feels like testtube wouldn’t reallyyyy want to be friends again and she’s accepting that. testtube is a pro grudge holder and is often of the beleif that she is always the one in the right. but everything about her and cabby in iii keeps her up at night. i think she missed that relationship too. feels regretful. sighhhhh i love them

KNICKLE

i think of all knife ships to become canon i thiiiiiink it would be knickle mostly because of how brian talks about them. and like yesssss that would be cool howeverrrrrrrrr i feel like i’d prefer it to stay in fanon?? ON THE OTHER HAND i have seen SOOOOOO much brilliant fanarts of these two and it is just. idk man knickle fans are really convincing. they’re one of my favourite platonic duos but i can absolutely see them being a great couple!!

headcanon: kinda based off of a moment from a fic i read… i feel like these two may be a bit touch starved? but they can’t really properly touch anymore because knife is kinda. sorta. dead. but i think they’d find a way to get over that (idk the phrasing)?? like. maybe knife possesses pickle sometimes. maybe that’s their stand in for physical affection. or he possesses someone else and hugs pickle like that. (probably apple, she doesn’t seem to mind being possessed by others that much LMAO). i want them to still be able to play video games together but it would take knife having to learn how to hold things in his ghostly form and uh. bow and dough prefer the tv to be broken it seems

KNIFECASE

HGRGRGRHHRGRHRGJRGRHHRHRHRHHR MY YUUUUURRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII MY FINALIST YURI HGDUEGHSGSHHDJSNDJDNJDNDMSJKSHDJSBJS I’M SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO NORMAL OHHHH MY GODDDDDDD HRGRHGRHRGSHSKSNLSJSL

HOW CAN I NOT LOVE THESE TWO????? THE TWO OF THEM HAVE AFFECTED THEIR CHARACTERS SO MUCH. KNIFE GOT SUITCASE TO BE LESS OF A PUSHOVER, TO STAND UP FOR HERSELF MORE, TO MAKE HERSELF KNOWN, AND SUITCASE HELPED KNIFE BE A LITTLE KINDER, MORE VULNERABLE AND GENERALLY A MORE NICER/LESS SELFISH PERSON GODDDDDDDDD HRGGEHSGSNNDNDBSNSN goes insane goes completely insane. GAGGHHGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

the true „i could fix them” couple fr

headcanon: suitcase visits knife at the mansion constantly. they can’t do much because, well, again, knife is a ghost, so they just… talk. about everything. i feel like there’d be some talks on mental health, advice and all that… the two like to hear about eachother improving, progressing, getting better. what makes them happy is the knowledge that the other is happy :]

BICKLOON

look, bickel on its own is something i can absolutely get behind. baseball and his asshole fucking boyfriend that he loves despite everything. his fuckin. emo arc after nickel got eliminated in season two was hilarious to me 😭😭 but then you throw in nickloon which is not only a ship between two of my least favourite characters (i don’t HATE balloon per se (trophy ranks lower than him in my rankings) but i dislike him), but it’s also a dynamic i genuinely can’t stand. so yeah i. i don’t like bickloon sorry

godddd iii really just ruined balloon for me. and made me hate nickel even more. and made me despise every moment they spent on screen together THE BACK AND FORTH WAS SO ANNOYINGGGGGGG OH MY GOD THEY’RE SO DYSFUNCTIONAL THEY WILL NEVER WORK

ahem. no real headcanon. i just want to say baseball needs to get tf out of there if he knows what’s good for him

MARSHBOWPPLE

now THIS is the poly rep i can get behind!!!!!!! THEY’RE SUCH A FUN TRIO ALREADYYYYY YOU CAN’T TELL ME THEY’RE NOT DATING BRO

they’ve been through a lotttttt but they’ve gotten past that. as apple said in the purgatory party stream, it’s water under the bridge, fan. water under the bridge. i just think they’re neat… so silly… hoooooooo boy i love a good bit of object yuri

headcanon: obviously yes bow still possesses apple to get close with marsh, but i feel like at some point she’d feel like she’s kinda leaving out apple? so she starts to possess marsh too to give apple the physical affection she also needs. i feel like these three would be reaaalllyyy physically affectionate with eachother. also i just KNOW dough is constantly observing them like. he’s the third wheel, he’s your friend steve, he’s a bit marshbowpple shipper. that is all

PAYJAY

have been calling out their fruitiness since day one (may 2024. yeahhh i’m newgen) and they’re FINALLY CANON LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well yeah ok that’s old news by now but stilllllllll i’m not over it yet.

god they mean so much to me. look i tend to lean more towards yuri (or what i perceive as yuri) but goddddd these two. i’m obsessed with these two. i need all the angst and all the fluff and all the stupid funny shenanigans of them RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! they just make me so ill idek what to say. besides i love payjay ofc

PAYJAYING OUT‼️‼️‼️‼️

headcanon: after that argument in ii2 16 oj has started trying to put in an effort to include paper more, and try to do more things with paper. unfortunately a lot of the stuff they do is chores (the grind never stops for this motherfucker) so paper often has to be the one who plans their together activities because chores are better done together (and also important) but not exactly romantic?? other times he has to seperate oj from himself and be like. „you need rest. let me handle this”.

i’m on the ship bingo grind rn omga. lot of poly in this one!! love to see it as a poly person heheheh

WELL TOO BAD IM GIVING YOU A FANDOM ASK LMAO

D, F, S, W (if you don't have five fandoms just pick the ones you like hehe)

If I had a nickel for everytime a fandom ask meme from a mutual was delivered in a semi-threatening way, I’d have at least a couple (I am bad at math)

Cut because it got a bit long.

D- A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t

Do you know how much it hurts to not fuck with the only (important) canon mlm couple in Inquisition? I love Dorian as a character, and I also like Iron bull, but them together is a personal ick. They constantly coast on the line between flirting and harassment and I don’t personally jive with that. It’s a fine ship I just can’t bring myself to be a full supporter. There’s not even a ship I like more for either of them it’s just a squick thing.

F- What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

Time isn’t real, but doing the math in my head, I think I was stuck in my jjba phase the longest. I’m not checking because looking at the posts I made as a 15 year old hurt to remember, but I think I was stuck in there for like 4 years. Good for my artistic journey but horrible for fandom etiquette lessons.

S- Show us an example of your personal headcanon

This one is phrased a little awkwardly, so I’m just gonna say what my most common headcanon tends to be. The transgender ray. If I relate to a man in a piece of media, he’s not cis anymore. Simple rules. There is nothing more powerful than adding top surgery scars to fanart with no elaboration.

W- 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

I assure you friend, I have plenty of fandoms I simple just refuse to post about. There is a notable difference between character who is my favorite and character who is hot, so I’ll try to stay away from just lite-horny posting.

Elden ring: Not the guy in my icon surprisingly. I am a Rogier supporter to the end. My favorite dead boyfriend in a fromsoftware game. There’s something so magical about watching him fail in such avoidable ways. I also like how he’s one or three guys who are doomed no matter what you do. Dead divorced man club remains strong.

Dragon age: Anders. I have many thoughts about the man but they all boil down to “he was right”. He did nothing wrong because he is my little princess and I hold him accountable for nothing.

Dungeon Meshi: Chilchuck (can you tell that I like sad men yet) He’s the most proper voice of reason in the main gang, but☝️ that doesn’t mean he’s the most normal. Also the teen dad trope speaks to me for some reason.

Jjba: I will present to you my only piece of jojo merch

Arcane: I don’t post about Arcane like at all but know that I have been a Jayce supporter since 2021 and have never once doubted him.

[last-on-your-lips]

So I Quit.

Preface: I am a person bound not by finance or insurmountable need to find a purpose. I am bound only and ever by loyalty, often and easily to the detriment and predictably enough the break of my endurance. This is the tale of why this is a terrible thing in company with establishments I lose respect for while clinging to those I am loyal to.

To begin: I was scheduled to work friday night. The manager that held me by Contract of Loyalty texted me (per my request she do so) that she quit early in the day....

Lmao.

I am actually not that great a person after I become jaded to the ways of a too often stressful and unrewarding environment, and certainly not so attached to and enthused for my work that I'll waste my gas going to a shift that doesn't earn the money back for the tank. (See that I’ve been working in a place on the other side of town for nickels and dimes.)

So I spent a few hours trying to decide how I was going to fuck up the night for the folks that had by no measure earned my respect. Of course I began on the thought that I didn’t want to make the night harder than my absence already would, but you see my Lover insisted that I inform them in person that I was quitting. (I’d quit the same ownership/management once before and apparently ghosting them was unsatisfactory by his measure.) and I simply did not see fit to warn them when I picked up my check in the afternoon- already having spent the gas to go an extra trip to that side of town…

And the idea comes to me... I should go to dinner at work! In mind that I’m going to make an absolute ass of myself. You see, the goal here is that they won’t ever try to hire me back at this establishment, but after they get over it I can still rely on the GM and parts of the different shift crews for reference to character and ethic.

-They have no idea I'm quitting, although when I picked up my check my step must’ve had mischief in it because the second shift crew was looking at me like they knew something was up.

-I'm scheduled with my wife, who is absolutely down for however I decide we’re going to quit.

-I have friends that love to watch me make mischief and I know at least a couple of them will be available to go pull some absolute bullshit in the middle of the night. (I got that good crew.)

-Lover said I had to tell them in person that I was quitting… and I am an otherworldly and ethereal creature that can follow no insisted command at half measure.

-I don't respect the establishment or the crew I was meant to work with enough to give a fuck how this goes, and by all the gods I’ve prayed to, this is going to be a tale.

I invite for several of my trusted (tea drinking) friends, and I tell them I have no idea how this is going to go, but I’m going to dinner instead of work and I’d like for an audience to join in the fun.

These friends are all glamorous, kind hearted people who enjoy mischief when it doesn’t aim to maim. But understandably most of them had work in the morning or duty to attend to during the late hour of the night I was plotting about. So I was awarded two companions out of the handful I invited, and that suited just fine to the cause.

We arrived (dressed to go to the bar after a bite to eat) to find the majority of the last shift crew parked outside the store conversing. They see how I'm dressed up, heels strapped to ankles and belly peeking through my cardigan. The female companion in the group similarly dolled with all her length and grace in crop top and combat boots, and wife in her more muted (though all the same not uniform) leggings and cutout top. Flirting is initiated immediately, of course, in a cacophony of playful hoots and one liners. Then a pause…

"Do you... not work tonight? "

"Do I look like I'm going to work?"

Uncertainty silences the flirting, and the gentlemen take in what’s happening for a moment of appreciation before grins spread over their faces and styrofoam cups I hope were filled with soda are lifted in cheers. They were enthused to invite us to go home with them after we were done, if we needed to of course. Such gentlemen- I assure you.

We proceed to go inside and after a minute waiting and a playful banter with a highly uninvolved hostess, we’re seated where we won't hear them talking out their frustrations in the kitchen. This after one of them has told the manager relief showed up- but they are not in uniform.

Ten minutes in the manager on duty went outside with phone in hand and face painted in irritation- on the morning I would be confirmed in assumptions I had made. She went to call the manager that I previously mentioned had quit to ask if she could refuse us service.

(As relayed to me Saturday morning)

"Legally no."

"Well I just wanted to call you and see what you would do...."

"If I was there they would be working "

Her lover in the background: "She doesn't even work there now, stop calling her with your problems!"

So by fifteen minutes into us being present there is enough salt in the air I am wondering if I have actually wandered into a beach resort, because I can smell the ocean every time the server that refused to take us goes by (To be fair she and I are not friendly)

Her only words to us: “But I thought you guys were scheduled tonight, they told me I got to work with [wife]!”

“Oh, no, we warned you all last week that when [Contract Holder] quit we went with her. This is us quitting.”

“Oh… okay.”

Mind that we have been there for fifteen minutes and were not given so much as drinks until it was affirmed we could not reasonably be turned away. After all we were being perfectly polite, not making even an impatient fuss about not being seen to yet.

We get a server another five minutes into our visitation, and she's the only one that wasn't terribly upset by our presence. She was actually fairly amused about our antics and methods, and seemed fairly delighted to learn we really were there to eat, not cause trouble in excess of quitting via the meal. She did comment that she hadn’t thought us to be serious about quitting with [Contract Holder] even though she’d heard the last week’s warning, and we had a wonderfully cordial conversation about our reasons for going with her while we waited for our food.

Now we didn't do jack shit, just went there to eat instead of work, and the manager on duty made no effort to speak to us while we were present. We sat there cutting up and sipping through our drinks until we were chattering over the food, good company and good conversation even as the atmosphere around us was made bitter.  We ended up being there for about an hour and a half since they spent the first portion of our little sit in trying to figure how to not serve us for our shit, which I admit we were pulling some shit on principal.  Ultimately, however, I hurt nothing but feelings last night and it was glorious. They’ll get over their ire in a few days and I’ll certainly be off the list for rehire, but I think the folks I enjoyed on the team will be wonderful to talk to if I ever have a reason to go back to that side of town before they quit themselves. Turnover over there is just a bitch.
