WOOBER ROCK CHAPTER 6 (i broke the title thing)

The four friends entered the great hall. It was buzzing with fraggles everywhere. They usually liked to get to meals early before the bell so they could avoid the endless lines and crowds. But because of Boober and Wembley getting side tracked, they were all forced to endure the fraggle lunch craze.

They stood in line for a good 30 minutes. Finally, they each had their food and they all began walking to their lunch spot by the pond. Mokey was already there. "Oh hello! I was worried you wouldn't show up", She smiled warmly and took Red's paw in her own. "We were going to be here sooner but someone",Red eyed Wembley and Boober,"Took forever leaving". Wembley looked at his lap guiltily. Boober wished to comfort him but kept to himself. "We're all here now, leave em alone Red", Gobo nudged Wembley with his elbow and Wembley perked up.

After they finished, Gobo lead the way to the portal. Boober clung to Mokey when it came into sight. "Oh boy, oh boy", Wembley bounced back and forth behind Gobo. "Okay, ya'll just watch and wait for the reveal of the coolest artifact yet",Gobo was really playing this up. He ducked into the hole and the gang watched as crept past the sleeping beast. In the basket next to the monster was a small package, about six inches tall. Gobo swiped it and quickly tiptoed back through the portal. When he was on the other side he peaked behind him and grumbled. He kicked a pebble, "Its usually cooler than that" Wembley flapped his hands,"that was so cool!"

Boober spoke from behind mokeys cardigan,"That will always be the most dangerous thing to do in all of Fraggle Rock", He sneezed,"and you probably bring deseases and viruses back every time!" Boober sneezed again. He was just allergic to dog fur, but he might as well been crawling into his grave with how dramatic he was being on the way back to Gobo and Wembley's cave.

Gobo stood in front of his friends. Red sat up on the table, mokey sat politely in a chair next to her. Wembley and Boober stood next to the table. Eyes focused on Gobo as he read out the postcard. "Ahem. Dear Nephew Gobo..."

"In the time i have spend exploring the land of outer space, I have yet to mention to you the magic rocks the larger silly creatures own. I understand this perfectly. The creatures speak into the magic rock and it speaks back. It sings, it lights up, it answers the universes most important questions. I am lucky to have been able to borrow one of these devices to send you for my museum. Take good care of it, Your Uncle Travelling Matt"

"Well lets see it Gobo, another piece of junk for the dumb museum", Red spat but kept her eyes focused on the package in Gobo's lap. "I cant wait to see it! Magical rocks, I have so many", Mokey hummed. Wembley rocked back and forth on his paws and urged Gobo to open the gift. Finally, he did. Slowly. Just to keep his pals on edge. But soon enough, in his paws was a black rectangular object.

Gobo turned it over in his paws and tapped its shiny surface. He flipped it on its side and pressed a button. It lit up. The fraggles gasped. "It looks like Doozer technology!", Red chirped. Gobo touched the screen and the phone unlocked, "Woah...Gee, my uncle has sure done it this time eh? " Wembley's eyes shined as Gobo fiddled with the different apps. He opened the camera and almost jumped out of his fur. "Its me!" Wembley peered over his brother's shoulder,"Me too!" Gobo's finger slipped and he took a picture, causing the magic rock to make a shuttering sound. The group immediately started chattering amongst themselves and taking more and more awkward selfies as they looked the phone over. All except Boober who hung behind, twiddling his thumbs. Wembley looked up and got his attention with a smile. Boober let out a sigh and moved to stand next to the other short fraggle.

"How cool is this! We have so many little paintings of ourselves in this!" , Gobo said proudly," Lets see what else it does" He tapped around a few more apps and suddenly the device started singing. The fraggles cheered. "music and paintings!", Mokey said," How truely magical!" Reds tail wagged behind her," This is a thing to celebrate! We should have a party! With music! And we can all take tiny paintings with every fraggle in the rock!" Everyone agreed.

" Party after supper tomorrow! Tell everyone you know!",Gobo called as his friends left his cave. Wembley was prancing behind Boober on his way back to his hidey hole. "I thought it was neat!", he smiled. "You think everything Gobo does is neat", Boober unhooked the lock on his den opening. Wembely hummed,"Well not EVERYTHING" Boober chuckled and faced the green fraggle," Like what?"

Wembley fumbled with the hem of his shirt. "I dont think its very neat when...um", Wembley didnt think it was neat when Gobo spoke down on Boober. But he couldn't say that. It'd only hurt Boober's feelings. And he couldn't bare the thought of that. so he lied. "I guess I do think everything he does is neat" Wembley tossed himself onto Boober's bed. "Boober?"

"Yes Wembley?"

"I uh- I think your face is really pretty"

Boober did a double take at the fraggle in his bed. "you what?" Wembely gulped and wondered if his comment was too out of pocket. "I said...um...Your face, its pretty. And your eyes are cool" Boober covered his face with a paw,"I- I dont know how to react to that". Wembley sat up and reached out for Boobers paws. The blue fraggle jumped slightly but offered his paws when Wembley pulled away. "I mean it, Im sure of it actually! I think youre really very handsome. And I love your eyes" Boober tilted his head down, "Wembley...Can i tell you something?" Wembley nodded, "Anything!" Boober took a deep breath. "Im blind. I mean- Not completely. I can see out of my right eye. Kind of"

"oh", Wembley was taken aback. All the times he had startled the shorter fraggle by accident quickly ran through his head, "Im sorry, uh, for scaring you sometimes" Boober tightened his grip on Wembleys paws and smiled. " its okay Wems"

They laid next to eachother, tails intertwined. "Mokey knows?", Wembley asked. "Yeah, you can't really keep something like that a secret from a sister like Mokey". Wembley looked at Boober, then back at the ceiling. "Does she get to see your face?" Boober raised an eyebrow and smirked a little," Not really, Not since we were little". Wembley rolled over to face the blue fraggle. "Do you think I could see it?" Boober thought to himself. If he let Wembley in, the gates would be open. Would he have to show anyone else? Wembleys tail curled tighter around Boober's and his worries melted away. It was surreal laying here with him, like this, so vulnerable. But Boober wasnt scared. Not of Wembley, at least. "Yes...yes you can see", Boober took his cap off and rolled to face Wembley. The green fraggle shyly reached out and pushed his friends bangs out of his face. Both of their faces went hot. "Youre beautiful", Wembley smiled softly. Boober held Wembley's paw in his own.

"So are you"

this is a terribly quick doodle of wembley looking at boober in my brain, they are so soft. This is bad art tho

[cerealmonster15]

walks into the function wearing a tshirt that says ASK ME ABOUT MY TOXIC THIRD YEARS POLYCULE HEADCANONS

this map has been stewing in my mind for years i think and i finally wrote it down in the illegible spaghetti way that i always do let's GO

lilia is not in the polycule he's just playing his own game of collecting sons. everyone is his son. he's also going to watch the drama because who doesn't love a soap opera playing out in real life he's got front row seats to the divorce vortex.

cater/trey/rook/vil are the ultimate four way polycule but also oh god theres so much going on there.

cater and trey are a ride or die duo but also trey knows cater sometimes isnt completely open with him but trey has a very passive nature to him as we've seen in book 1 and when he mentions cater's wish to himself in the starsending event... but theyre still close and care for each other a lot and i will die defending them if i have to fjdklsjfds

rook and vil oh my god rook and vil. they are so married. and so dramatic. and so. sdkfjsdkljf a little divorced because rook is also in love with the biggest rival of vils life but that is NOT enough to break their marriage. love finds a way. somehow. fdskjfjksdlg

^ i could go much more into both those duos but we simply. we dont have time we are moving along we are walking

rook and trey beloved science weirdos oh my god every time theyre on screen together theyre so funny. i love odd friendships. science marriage real.

cater canonically flirted with vil even tho it got somewhat censored in engtwst and was partially probably for clout reasons HOWEVER, to ME it's also for bisexual reasons. vil is canonically very pretty and caters like yeah 🧡🧡🧡 vil can see through when cater's being more superficial BUT ALSO they have genuine moments of getting along!!! like in events, beanfest 2 and the puppet one that's not out in eng yet. no spoilers here but there is a bit in puppet event that has me so vindicated on how they really do work well together and respect each other!!!!!!! into the polycule you go.

vil and trey,,, gestures to vil's lab coat story klsdjflksd they get along and it's cute. everybody loves trey.

even leona wants trey in the divorce polycule. no spoilers but please see playful land puppet event / leona's card vignette for that event. and also i think treys platinum birthday card story sljdflksdjf

the extreme difference between how malleus reacts to cater bothering him vs rook bothering him or even just Talking To Lilia is so funny. like he gets along with rook sometimes but in those two pe scenes hes SO aggro he wants that twink OBLITERATED he is going to KILL ROOK HUNT. but he will play tag with cater :^)

leona is the king of divorce. he is divorced to everyone he touches . he invented divorce. he's turbo divorced with vil and malleus because he and vil are just sooooooo. fsdkjfskdlg when therye on screen together it's like passive aggressive but mostly just aggressive bitching and bullying. theyre so funny. they have this energy of like "we have Tension but also i am going to kill you. i begrudgingly respect your abilities but i will only say so with layered insults." like the way vil says "so leona's got a pretty face but that's ALL he has going for him" like. multiple times. why does he keep doing that.

and then whatever he has going on with malleus is so funny. like malleus seems like hes a smug little bitch having fun with the banter [again he wants to Destroy Rook in those PE stories, but leona's blatant insults i feel like he's more teehee you stupid bitch >:)] and leona's just so pissed mad angry forever he's like no i need this dragon fucker DEAD for EXISTING !!! but i think malleus' having fun with the fellow teen experience of stupid razzing

leona and cater are giving me subtle divorced vibes in that one scene in book 2. listen. i have headcanons. ive talked about it. moving on 🚶

rook. leona. i feel i do not need to elaborate jfklsjfkljsekljfkl

idia is so funny. why are his opinions about everyone around him either "oh god hes ultra tier scary" or "he's so sparkly dazzling handsome beautiful". he does this often with no filter and it's so funny. i like that he and leona played chess for like hours or whatever in that one birthday vignette but i forget which one lol i think it was idia's union bday or something

do i have more to say. ive been thinking about them for hours and also years. i can and will talk about them forever i think they are So funny. this is just a messy summary of it all i'm barely scratching the surface i simply cannot go into full detail or this post will Never End GOODBYE!!!!

[intotheelliwoods]

What was that about One falling asleep whenever he can and feels comfortable enough because the boy needs it? Hm? Something about him feeling safe around Poptart and not needing to keep his guard up was it? @dianagj-art *uses your own tags against you*

[realbeefman]

stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!

wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end
