♡ Shrimpo... Oh boy, Shrimpo

♡ Getting him to just not hate you is a challenge all its own, so if you're in a relationship with this shrimp, it means you're probably gonna need patience. Like, a lot of patience.

♡ But, once you're past that, it's surprisingly not the worst!

♡ He's not really used to being friendly with someone, much less being romantic, so he's gonna be... Awkward at times

♡ He probably talks about you really highly, but he does so in the same sort of condescending way he does about himself

♡ Like "[NAME] IS SO MUCH BETTER AT THIS THAN YOU!!! JUST GIVE UP, YOU'LL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS THEM!!!"

♡ He gets flustered really easily, so even something as small as holding hands in front of people is enough to have him refusing to make eye contact with you or anyone else in the room

♡ That said, PDA is usually a no-go unless it is something small like that. Being affectionate in front of other people is embarassing for him...

♡ Immediately on the opposite end of that, though, he's touch starved!

♡ Once you're behind closed doors he'll be a lot more open to affection

♡ He's actually very cuddly, but he's also very stubborn about it

♡ He doesn't like initiating because that means directly asking you for affection in most cases, so sometimes you'll just catch him staring at you with rosy cheeks and have to figure out what he wants from there

♡ On the occasion he does put aside his own pride long enough to ask he'll always yell about how he hates being cold or something, literally anything not to admit he just likes your touch

♡ He prefers positions where you can both wrap your arms around each other, but he doesn't really mind as long as you two are close together!

♡ Onto something completely unrelated, you have to stop him from fighting people a lot

♡ You've become the individual the other toons go to whenever Shrimpo's about to try and beat someone

♡ You always have to grab him and drag him away from whatever confrontation he's in to go calm him down. He'll struggle around and grumble at you the whole time, but he won't try to get away when you let him go...

♡ Everyone is confused as to how you can keep him pacified; You're the only one who's been able to do so without sustaining some variety of injury

♡ You're also usually the one to tend to any cuts or bruises he sustained during the altercation. If you didn't know how to dress a wound before, you're about to learn!

♡ Shrimpo really loves you, even though he's bad at showing it sometimes. He's really trying, please be patient with him!

"...I HATE BEING COLD."

You blinked, looking up from what you had been doing to be met with the flushed frowning face of your partner.

Shrimpo glared at you, though his eyes held no malice; If anything, there was something expectant in them.

You stared back, searching through your brain for what possibly he could want. Seconds passed with nothing but silence between you two, and from an outside perspective, one could easily assume you two were locked in a standoff.

It clicked after a bit. He wanted to cuddle!

You asked him as such with a smile, offering him a seat beside you.

He grumbled something you couldn't make out as he moved to slide in next to you. He didn't object when you wrapped your arms around him, nor did he when you gently pulled him against you.

He sat there for a moment, content to simply bask in your warmth, before slowly returning your embrace.

His grip was tight, just enough so to be secure but not uncomfortable.

...You weren't going anywhere for a while. You didn't mind though. You were happy in each others' arms, even though one of you probably wouldn't ever admit that.

You mumbled out an "I love you" which was met with a huff and a "I HATE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU TOO."

With that, you both fell into a comfortable silence, which would soon become snores as you drifted off to sleep.

He wasn't cold anymore.

“It’s alright, baby,” Bratt crooned to his girlfriend. “Nothing’s gonna hurt you.”

Madi was trembling a bit as tears finally came streaming from her eyes, after how hard it had been for her to cry before she came to her boyfriend for comfort… A pitiful whimper could be heard from her throat as she snuggled up against Bratt.

“… I’m… I’m sorry,” she whined. “I know… I’m a handful… This is the third time this month…”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa—slow down, honey.” Bratt’s tone was gentle as he cupped the girl’s face. “You’re not a handful; I’ve had no problems handling you at all~ You’re just an anxious sweetie who needs extra TLC sometimes; no shame in that~”

“… But I… I come to you with baggage more often than… you with me,” Madi whimpered in response.

As much as Bratt loved his girlfriend and couldn’t have been more honest with his words, it was baffling to him how the girl could repeatedly blame herself for problems. His thumb rubbed against her cheek as he spoke in a more serious tone:

“Sweetie baby. I understand where the baggage is coming from. I was thrown out like trash after Hollywood decided I wasn’t worth anything to them anymore, but YOU… You were constantly passed around and continued to collect bruises and scratches like a toy who’s been through one too many yard sales—I can tell you’ve dealt with ‘friends’ who were careless with you. I just wanna help you clean off the smudges they left on you... Besides, you've been an understanding sweetheart about my woes with Hollywood; why would I not return the favor?~"

The girl looked up at him with big watery eyes... She seemed stunned by his compassion to the point of not having any response to meet him with. Her brow only raised more as she felt Bratt place a kiss on her forehead.

"I mean it~ You're not a handful~" he purred upon pulling away. "Okay?~"

Hi glisten! I hope you are doing okay ^^ I have a few questions.

What do you think of the other toons?

What Do you think of Dandy?

Do you have a favourite toon/friend? If so, why?

Hey babes! I'm doing fabulous right now!

I do love most of the other toons... aside from Shrimpo, he's really annoying.

Dandy's alright I guess! He's sorta a weirdo but he's okay

A favorite toon.... I'd have to say Toodles honestly! She's a sweetheart

[rosyrosethorns]

Madilyn was visibly stunned… though in a way that showed she was visibly anxious. “You want… to go steady?”

Noticing the expression his girlfriend wore, Balthazar Bratt’s smile faded; his grip on both of her hands loosening. “You alright?” he asked in a softer tone than before. “You’re not sure about doing that?”

“No! No—I mean, wait, I… I do want… I do want to get more invested… with this,” the meek girl replied… Her eyes looked watery now. “It’s just… I’m scared of… w—well… how you’re gonna feel seeing… the worst of me…”

… A soft chuckle escaped Bratt as a soft smile appeared on his face. “You really think I’m gonna stop loving you if I catch you on a bad day?~” he lightheartedly quipped. “That’s like saying I’m gonna stop listening to a lot of music artists cuz they were doing drugs~”

“Bratt… You—You haven’t seen me at my absolute lowest. I purposefully refused to let you see… I turn into a monster.” Madi avoided looking him directly in the eyes now. “I get more pessimistic… I get intense violent thoughts… I end up craving more positive attention as a result… I—I’ll probably question how much you love me at some point… I might even unintentionally hurt you…” Tears were welling up in her eyes as she spoke in a brittle voice. “I’m scared that the closer people get to me… the more likely I’ll…”

Her sentence was cut off as Bratt suddenly pulled her into a hug. She was so caught off guard that her eyes widened as she fell silent, a wave of relief washing over her as she felt the villain bury his nose in her hair…

“Honey. Sweetheart. Baby doll. Pretty in Pink.” His tone was more serious now. “You’re not a monster just cuz you’ve got anxiety and bad anger control. I’m not gonna leave you over strong emotions—heck, I’ve got strong emotions about things too; you know that! If that fear’s the only thing making you hesitant to go steady, then… well… I’m just gonna be your comfort blanket~”

… Madi could feel him soothingly run his fingers through her hair as a whimper escaped her throat… Then, unable to hold it in anymore, she hugged him tight as she began to bawl into his chest…

random bratt x madi ship things. cuz im tired but i wanna talk about em.

🍬 the only nickname madi uses for bratt is darling… meanwhile bratt has, like, a whole list of nicknames for her: honey, baby, babydoll, doll-face, babygirl, candy girl, sweetheart, cutie, cutie pie, pretty in pink, gorgeous, good girl…

🍬 they parallel-play sometimes. bratt loves getting his workout in, but madi’s not the athletic type so she usually watches him while she works on her computer. although he has caught her secretly using the space to do yoga stretches and attempt some ballet (which she’s a complete amateur at), and even though madi was embarrassed over being watched at first bratt helped her calm down quickly by joining in and being supportive… she’ll sometimes join him to do stretches now.

🍬 they both have a sweet tooth. madi just has more impulse than bratt.

🍬 bratt knows how to fluster his gf, but he also knows how to calm her down. despite their obvious differences, they have lots of similarities as well; which is probably part of why it’s so easy for bratt to defuse a furious madi…

🍬 bratt has a bit of sexual experience… madi had none before dating him. but when they started getting serious she asked him to show her the “ropes”… p. pun intended.

🍬 the AVL only separated bratt & madi once so far when they arrested bratt for another one of his crimes… tl;dr the staff madi interacted with could tell almost immediately she was lovesick, and the first thing bratt did after breaking out again was ask madi to move in w/ him… she said yes without hesitation.
