#Rad x Raymond

[invaderdoom78]

Rad likes robots Radmon version

It had been storming all day and it led to Rad, Enid, and Ko being incredibly bored at work as no customers had been in all morning, the most business they'd gotten was when Brandon and a Real Magic Skeleton stopped in to get some snacks for their own boring work shifts.

"This sucks!" Rad groaned, flopping on top of the counter that Enid was sitting behind scrolling through her phone as Ko mopped up the wet foot prints Brandon and RMS left behind "I'm so bored"

"Eh," Enid shrugged, not looking up from her phone, glad that no customers were in the store

"I wonder if Boxman is planing to attack the plaza today?" Ko asked, wringing out the mop

"Why would he?" Rad asked "even robots hate going out in the rain" as if on cue the alarm went off and from the sky came two Boxmore boxes and a single oversized rose landed in the parking lot. Rad sighed, as much as he liked fighting villains he didn't want to go out into that rain "great"

"Let's get this over with" Enid sighed, putting on her jacket

It was not a fun fight as the hero's had figured the Boxbots weren't waterproof and the rain was going to mess them up, but they were and were even using the rain to their advantage.

"Rad!" Enid exclaimed dodging every punch Raymond made at her

"Enid!" Ko yelled bearly dodging Darrell's attacks "guys, I need help! And my hair keeps falling in my face"

"Of course these jerks would choose to attack in the middle of a thunder storm" Enid grunted as she struggled to keep Raymond in a choke hold only for him to slip away a moment later

"Yeah" Raymond said after he'd kicked Enid in the face

"You look a little… under the weather" Shannon taunted as she fought Rad "let me get you… a blanket!" Her body flattened out so she could wrap around the blue alien "now that you’re tucked in, I’d better put you to sleep!" Rad gasped for air as the metal around him constricted "not feeling snuggly, eh?" She released him and jumped away "well, how about a change in the forecast" she transformed into a tornado

"Beautiful form sister!" Raymond praised

"Nice one, Shannon!" Darrell said right before Ko kicked him in the face, blinding the robot with his muddy feet

Now that the young hero was free he ran over to his friend to help him, power punching Shannon into a nearby tree.

"Thanks, bud" Rad said

Shanon groaned as she shook the leaves off her head "I'm gonna get you, you little brat!"

Raymond noticed the dark clouds above the tree's and heard the faint rumbling of thunder along with some small flickers of light. Assuming that lightning was about to strike the tree he activated his penalty box, planing on using it to knock his sister out of the tree but instead of striking the tree the lightning was drawn to him sending enough electricity through his system that it shut him down for a few seconds. When he rebooted the first thing he saw was Rad and he felt the circuitry in his chest warm up. Shannon managed to pull herself out of the tree and activated the buzzsaw's in her hands and feet, fully intending on using all four on the alien hero but someone shoved him out of the way before she could strike.

"Wha—" Rad was confused when he saw that Raymond was on top of him and realized that he was the one that saved him “huh? Ra-Raymond? Did you just… save me?"

"Oh," Raymond blushed just now realizing what he'd done "I… I guess I did"

"Why?" Rad asked, trying to suppress his own blush

"… I don't know"

The alien and robot starred into each others eyes, nether one sure what to do, until Ko and Enid grabbed Rad while Shannon and Darrell grabbed Raymond so they could pull the two apart.

"What's wrong with your robot?" Enid demanded

"What's wrong with your boy?" Darrell retorted

"I don't know" Enid growled before whispering to her friend "Rad, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothin'!" Rad mumbled looking embarrassed

"Okay," Darrell started as he and his sister started backing up "well, this is weird and we're gonna leave"

"Right," Enid said as she and Ko also started backing away "let's just go and figure this out separately, in our own area's"

"Agreed. We'll finish this after"

The two groups made it back to their respective buildings Rad giving Raymond a small wave when he noticed that the robot was waving at him, feeling a tad guilty when he noticed the sports bot looked upset that they were being separated.

"So what happened out there?" Enid asked, relaxing behind the counter

"I'm not sure" Rad said, stacking some green cans, he didn't need to but he wanted to find something to distract himself "he must've just caught me off guard is all" he let out a startled yelp when he realized he'd stacked the cans to look like Raymond and, without thinking, used his power to knock them over as he fell

"Dude," Enid started, "what's wrong with you?"

"I have no idea" Rad groaned

"Well knock it off 'cause you're weirding me out"

"Maybe you should take a break" Ko suggested

"I'm gonna go sit in my van for a bit" Rad sighed getting up

Thankfully the rain had stopped and the only thing he had to worry about were the puddles. Pulling open the door of his van Rad flopped himself onto the blankets and pillows he kept in the back. Taking out his phone he started scrolling through his social media planning on just looking at some cute cat pictures and before he realized it he was on Raymonds profile; he was really handsome but Rad would rather jump straight into rush hour traffic than admit that out loud.

————

Once the Boxbots got back home Raymond couldn't stop himself from pacing in the common room while Darrell watched him from the couch and Shannon was looking at her phone on one of the beanbags.

"So, why'd you save Rad anyway?" Shannon asked "he's such a dweeb"

"Hey," Raymond shouted "he is not a dweeb!"

"Wow" Darrell and Shannon said looking at the other

"Oh, why do I want to feel his warm fleshy arms wrapped around me?" Raymond mumbled bitting his knuckle, thinking it was quiet enough that his siblings couldn't hear, but they did

"This is getting kinda outta hand don't you think" Darrell whispered to his sister

"Yeah" Shannon whispered back "should we, like, talk to him?"

"Yeah," Darrell said getting up "hey Raymond! Don't you think we should get back to fightin' those lame goody two shoes?"

"No" Raymond sighed "I don't want to fight Radicles and I don't want you guy's fighting him either"

"But! But!" Darrell stammered "you know you can’t just go around with a Hero! He represents everything we’re against! When Daddy finds out he's gonna be so mad at you"

"You should just reboot" Shannon suggested "that lightning probably fried your circuits. Let's take a look" she got up and grabbed her brothers hair so she could look inside his head "yup, these are done for"

"Hey," Raymond said slapping his sisters hand away "get out of there!"

"Yeah!" Darrell exclaimed happily "just reboot yourself into a new body, and you’ll be back to normal. I do it all the time for funsies!" He pushed his reboot button and blew up only for his new body to reapers a few seconds latter "see!"

"Yes," Raymond sighed "perhaps I should" but he didn't want to. He couldn't quiet explain it but he liked these feeling. He's never denied to himself that he thought Rad was hot and he did enjoy the rivalry they had together "I need to think about somethings"

"What's there to think about?" Darrell asked

"I don't know" Raymond sighed, growing frustrated at his siblings "I just need to think!"

With that he stormed out of the room, shoving past the other two robots, and went straight to his room. Maybe he could distract himself by reminiscing about his past sports accomplishments by looking at his wall of pictures. Someone had taken pictures of him and Rads dance battle at the Plaza Prom and he'd originally printed them out because whoever had taken them had done a magnificent job of capturing his good side but the alian was also in all of them and suddenly he was second guessing his reasoning for hanging them up. Has he been having these feelings for a while and just not realized it; after all that had been one of the most exhilarating fights he's ever had.

Oh what was he to do? His siblings were no help, well maybe Ernesto would be but he was always so busy, and he couldn't talk to coach dad about it as he'd surly be discontinued for being attracted to a hero. Dropping onto his window bench he sighed dramatically, slumping against the window so he could look out at the plaza's parking lot. Wait, maybe this was his chance to get things sorted out. Getting up from his seat the sports bot knew what he had to do, poking his head out into the hall to make sure neither of his siblings were out there before sneaking off to the Plaza.

————

This was stupid, Raymond thought to himself as he stood in front of Rad's van, fist raised ready to knock on the door. You don't know what to say to him you didn't think of a plan before coming over. Lowering his arm he was about to run back home when the vans door slid open.

"You!" Rad exclaimed, stumbling back into his van at the villains appearance "what're you doin' here?"

"I, uh," Raymond was frozen on the spot, unsure of what to do now "well, I uh"

"Did you come here to finish our fight!?" Rad asked, getting ready for a fight

"No, of course not!" Raymond exclaimed holding up his hands to show he's not a threat

"Really?" Rad asked not bothering to hide his suspicion

"Yes, I think I came here to talk"

"You think?" Rad asked

"Yeah," Raymond said, grabbing his arm "I've been pretty confused since our last fight and I can't talk to my siblings or dad about it"

"So you think talking to me is going to help?" Rad asked, sitting himself on the edge of his van floor his feet planted on the pavement so he could rest his arms on his lap

"Maybe"

Rad sighed "Well, you might as well have a seat then"

"Thank you" Raymon smiled at the alien

What Raymond didn't know was that his brother and sister were watching him from their bedrooms a choir of daddy ringing out as Darrell and Shannon ran to Boxman's office.

"What!?" Boxman demanded, slamming his fists on his desk

"Raymond has a crush on one of the bodega dweebs" Shannon said

"And he won't reboot to get rid of it" Darrell added

"Ok and?" Boxman asked

"You're not mad?" Darrell asked

"No, why would I be?" Boxman asked, getting back to what he was working on before his children interrupted "it's just a phase and it'll go away on it's own"

"But..." Darrell started

"Look the more you try and fight it the more he's going to want to defy you by actively attempting to date him"

"But, but" Darrell stammer out "how do you know for sure?"

Lord Boxman's human eye quickly darted away from his children for a second "Trust me on this, besides I'm going to be sending you three out to attack the plaza soon so if it is just a fluke in his programing then you can let them reboot him"

"Well," Shanon started "can we attack them now?"

"Sure" Boxman shrugged "why not"

Once his robotic children were gone, Boxman swiveled around in his chair so he could see exactly who his son was crushing on, but he didn't have a view of Rad's van from his office window.

———-

"You really think he'd discontinue you because you've got a crush on a hero?" Rad asked

"I'm not sure" Raymond sighed, laying back on the vans floor

"I don't think he would" Rad said, leaning back on his hands "you're the best fighter out of all your siblings so it'd be pretty stupid to get rid of you"

"You think I'm a good fighter?" Raymond asked, sitting up so he could see Rad's face

"Uh, well, yeah" Rad said, avoiding looking at the sports bot

"You know. You're a pretty strong fighter yourself" Raymond said, gently nudging Rad with his shoulder

"Th-thanks" Rad said, blushing pretty hard

Had they always been sitting so close together or was he just imagining the closeness. Turning his head Rad saw that Raymond was looking at him with half-lidded eyes and a small smile; if his face wasn't completely purple before it was now.

"The inside of your van is really nice"

"It better be" Rad tried to hide his fluster behind his usual bravado "I reupholstered this baby myself" it was half true as his dad had helped him

"Tell me Radicles" Raymond said resting a hand on the hero's shoulder "how comfortable is it inside"

Rad didn't get to answer as a Boxmore box landed in front of the van.

"What are you doing here, Raymond!" Shannon growled

Scoffing, Raymond rolled his eyes "What'er you guys doing here?"

"Dad, wants us to attack the Plaza" Shannon said, crossing her arms over her chest "and that includes your little boyfriend over there"

"Hey," Rad protested, shooting to his feet "he's not my boyfriend!"

"Yeah, right" Shannon said, rolling her eyes "that's why your hanging out together in your van?"

"He just showed up here"

"Thats true" Raymond said also getting up "it was simply a coincidence that we ran into each other"

"Bull," Shannon said, activating the buzzsaws in her hands

"Rad" Ko yelled as he and Enid ran out of the bodega

"Don't worry man" Enid said "we're coming" she saw how close Raymond was to her friend and assumed that he was planing on attacking Rad "get away from him!"

"Enid wait" Rad said, trying to stop his friend from attacking the sports bot, but he wasn't quick enough and Raymond was knocked down by her Power Foot Fireball

"Hey!" Raymond exclaimed, glaring up at the ninja "what was that for?"

"What was that for?" Enid asked "you're attacking the Plaza!"

"He wasn't actually" Rad said, helping Raymond up "we were just talking about what had happened earlier then those two showed up"

"Really?" Enid asked looking confused

"Yes," Raymond scoffed, dusting himself off "I have no desire to fight you guys"

"Excuse me!" Shannon yelled "don't ignore us"

"Yeah!" Darrell exclaimed activating his arm cannon "so step away from Raymond so we can fight" he took aim at Rad

"No!" Raymond exclaimed, pushing his crush out of the way only to be taken out by the blast

"Oh wow" Enid said, surprised at the robots sacrifice

The guilt of destroying his brother overtook him and he crumbled in front of the smoldering remains of Raymond, a waterfall of tears coming from his eye.

"Oh wait" Darrell said, stopping mid cry "this means he'll be back to normal! Let's meet up with him back inside"

"Looks like you losers get to live another day," Shannon chuckled, running back to Boxmore with her brother

Kicking down the door the two Box Bots found Raymond sitting in his room, brushing out his hair since it always got messed up when he was rebooted.

"Raymond!" Darrell exclaimed, happily running up to his brother

"How do you feel now?" Shannon asked

"Fine" Raymond sighed

"You still have a crush on Rad?" Shannon asked

"No, of course not" Raymond sneered

"Good" Darrell said, walking Raymond over to the window where Rad, Enid, and Ko talking outside of the van "because they're still out there if you want to get back to the fight"

Oh no. When he saw Rad again Raymond realized the feelings were still there, maybe not as strong now, but at least now he could act like he still hated the hero.

[zinkadear]

Ian JQ said that Raymond would be the prince in the universe where Rad is a merman. I've been thinking about OK K.O. lately, and wanted to draw something else for MerMay anyway, so this was perfect.

I'm not a fan of Raymond's canon human design, so I made my own version. I also changed Rad's ears.

Anyway I've really missed these two! I hadn't drawn them since 2017.

[rscroogedraws]

Art dump from 2017-19 of my various O.K. K.O. fanart as well as an old sketchbook walkthrough including some of the stuff posted here! I was OBSESSED with this show back then. If I hadn't been working through burnout, there'd probably be more O.K. K.O. related vids too (I have audio recorded for something now. I'm just looking for a decent beginner and Linux friendly video editing program!)

A lot of these were from my awkward hard shift into traditional media vs the mix of digital and traditional I made pre-2016 (my harddrive at the time died and I was really discouraged from digital after that). I've figured out a good mix of what I like from the mediums I use now but it took awhile to get there, heheh.

Today's LGBT+ Character is;

Radicles 'Rad' X and Raymond from OK KO! Let's be Heroes-Queer

Requested by @camillebutchikas

Status: Alive (and crushing on each other)

[zinkadear]

Rad's Not So Secret Admirer

Raymond has a crush on Rad, and not having experienced anything like this before, doesn't know how to handle it. If anyone were to find out, he'd be mortified, especially since Rad is one of his enemies, as well as his main rival. It was wrong to think of him in a positive way. But Raymond couldn't help it. He hasn't been able to stop thinking about the alien ever since their dance-off.

One day when the bodega isn't very busy, Raymond decides to sneak in and watch Rad work. He's extremely nervous, but he gets a warm feeling being around him, and he stays and spies on him from behind an aisle.

Unfortunately for him though, he accidentally knocks a can over, and the noise alerts Rad before Raymond can escape. He'll have to come up with a good lie to get out of this mess.

I love you Darrell and your abysmal social skills

[pen-guin-writez]

idk how to poll on tumblr so just rb or comment your answer

-venomous coming out (venomous x boxman + a bit of platonic venomous x carol)

-fink discovering her sexuality (platonic fink x robo-siblings)

-accidental confessions ft. raymond and rad (raymond x rad)

-k.o.’s understanding of love and sexuality (platonic k.o. x dendy)

i’ll get to them all, but i have a lot of drafts and idk which to do first

[axollungz]

grllll i miss this show so much :((

[scrawlingskribbles]

still endlessly fascinating to me that the whole "Casanova"/"romance" angle of Raymond's character is just a word-of-god informed trait that we never actually.... see, in-show?? Like, if you're Just watching the episodes without any other contact to fandom/Krew stuff, Raymond is purely just a haughty sports-themed bot with a bit of a flair for the dramatic, so Ernesto's jab at him in Let's Watch The Boxmore Show about needing to "pick a lane" between Sports or Romance feels like it comes?? completely out of left field????? 😂😂 (yes, sports pun intended lol) Like... is it just because of his whole roses/flowers motif??? Is that really all it takes to somehow constitute "romance" here?? Because I call BS on that honestly xD 'Romance' as a concept has way more depth/complication than simply "the existence of roses/flowers"; not to make another pun so soon, but It Takes Two To Tango as the saying goes, and the only person Raymond ever (sort-of?) tangoed with was Rad but that dance battle was definitely Not romantic-coded, so?? xD (Insert joke here about Second First Date largely consisting of a date-fight with a focus on flowers which Was supposed to be romantic-coded but SHHH x'3c) But at the same time, if the flowers aren't supposed to be the reasoning then W H E R E are we supposed to have seen any kind of ""romance"" from Raymond for Ernesto's line to make sense??? Please, I am genuinely asking to be shown the logical thread here, it's been killing me for years now and I simply Cannot see it jhgjshgkjsg x''3
