#p.i.e. team

[corvidaeconundrum]

These are stupid but I thought they were funny lol, hope they’re good enough to tie yall over in these trying times

Been feeling really down lately so its been hard to pull myself into doing any art. Planning to fix that!

Cant make any promises though, but I do have a lot on my mind for future stuff. A new au my mind conjured mayhaps. Perchance. (I keep making them i cant stop im infected. diseased)

[lunadreamscaper]

Pony Town and P.I.E. Posting because

Here’s the P.I.E. Team. (I’m not giving them pants that’s stupid/j)

Here’s Gavin and Jimmy.

Also I know Allicorns are like special in the original show but just pretend that this is just a special au where VT world is just a bunch of ponies and being an allicorn means your royal bc I’m bad at choosing also it looks cool.

Also here’s Josh because she’s a P.I.E. Member in my heart. (Her cutie mark is a pumpkin bc she used to be a pumpkin farmer in her home dimension)

I might share more of these… later. Soon. Who knows.

[limeston-lane]

The Paranormal Investigators Extraordinaire (P.I.E) as Toons!

Additional details of the team below...

In a Toontown AU, they're definitely owning a business. Working for Toons and the occasional Cogs who didn't know they were a Toon buisness. Probably in Toontown Central. As well as their TV show, which airs on public channels.

Jimmy Casket still exists, but often would turn against the team with Cogs or to generally mess with them. He still exists as a threat due to working with said Cogs.

Toast's werewolf-ism works as him turning into a wolf Toon whenever it's night. Which usually happens in Drowsy Dreamland.

Back From The Dead ability is basically a second wind type of thing. Even once they've greened, they'll have one more life before they officially green.

Colon can still detect ghosts and can hear them as well. Spooker's diet still consists of peanut butter and tap water. Beanie Buddies forever!!!

Ghost has Trap, Colon has Drop, Spooker has Toon-Up, and Toast has Lure.

OC Questionnaire

tagged by: the lovely @kaylinalexanderbooks thank you!

tagging: Open Tag as usual, and softly tagging @thegreatobsesso | @mysticstarlightduck | @winterandwords | @chayscribbles

Your OC interview questions are: 1) What's your go to coffee order (or equivalent for a fantasy/sci-fi world)? 2) What is the first thing you notice about your appearance when you look in the mirror VS the first thing other people notice when they see you? 3) Who would you consider to be your closest friend and why?

My questions: 1) What is your stance on lying? 2) Do you enjoy people watching? 3) What is the best decision you ever made?

I'll answer with two OCs that are my absolute faves and two that I need to develop more: Princess Snow (FSF), Nickelle (TCIO), Astra (GD), and Tris (FSF).

Responses under the cut cus this is long XD:

Snow (Fractured Stars Falling WIP)

What is your stance on lying?

Snow folds her arms and says firmly, "Even if it's for a good reason I don't like it. My stepmother used lies to hurt me and others, I won't use them unless absolutely necessary, and even then I'm going to feel terrible about it the whole time. I refuse to be that kind of queen."

Do you enjoy people watching?

"No, not really. It feels weird to watch people without a reason to be doing so. It feels dishonest and sneaky to me."

What is the best decision you ever made?

Snow swallows harshly, clenching a fist as she holds back tears and avoids looking at the person who asked the question. "I finally saw through my stepmother's lies. I took over the throne and had her thrown into the deepest dungeon of the palace, after years of giving her excuses and too many second chances. But I was too late to... to save my best friend from getting killed by her because of my stupid mistakes..."

Nickelle (The City is Ours WIP)

What is your stance on lying?

Nickelle bristles at the question, looking at the person who asked suspiciously. Then she shrugs, picking at the glove of her superhero suit. "If it's for a good cause, I'd say it's fine."

Do you enjoy people watching?

She thinks about it for a moment, fiddling with the patches on her leather jacket. "From a distance, in the city yes. If you can get up to one of the rooftops and sit on the edge it's a great spot to watch people go by."

What is the best decision you ever made?

Nickelle looks around to see if anyone is watching or listening in. "I made a choice to protect this city and my team. Other people might not like my methods, but I'm doing what I have to. Hence why I have to do it under another identity, since other people might have... more negative feelings about my methods. I don't like it either, but this has to be done."

Astra (Galaxy Destroyer WIP)

What is your stance on lying?

Astra shrugs, and says like a true thief and space pirate, "Oh yeah it's fine. Sometimes it's the only way to get what you need. Especially in a galaxy where P.I.E. made everything so damn expensive. If I need to lie and steal to live, I'm fine with that."

Do you enjoy people watching?

Astra looks around for potential targets. "For a chance to make a little money off of an unsuspecting idiot? Absolutely, it's not just enjoyable, it's how I make a living."

What is the best decision you ever made?

Astra thinks for a minute, going through all the things she's done and stolen as a space pirate, and all the times she made a not so smart move. "Well one of the worst decisions I ever made was trusting another pirate on a job, he stabbed me in the back and left me high and dry. I don't know about the best decision though, maybe becoming a thief despite the mixed results? Mixed results yes, but I can't imagine being anything else, and the benefits outweigh the risks- in my opinion."

Tris (Fractured Stars Falling WIP)

What is your stance on lying?

Tris presses her lips into a thin line, her hand tightly gripping the hilt of her sword at her side. "Only if it's for a really good reason, and no one gets hurt. Otherwise, lying is just wrong."

Do you enjoy people watching?

She shrugs, the cloud of tight coils that make up her hair bouncing with the movement. "I never really thought about it. Kaye and I prefer to keep to ourselves most of the time. Watching people for no reason has never really interested me."

What is the best decision you ever made?

Tris thinks about it hard for a minute. "I'm not sure, maybe entering the fighting tournament for the prince's hand to get out of my stepfamily's... well it's my family's house but they were going to kick me out at some point anyway. Anyways, joining the tournament to get away from them... well it got me away from them, but I saw and did things in that area that I wish I hadn't... but on the other hand, if I hadn't done that, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to see Kaye again and spend more time with him. Despite the terrible circumstances..."

[feathered-moths-ablaze]

I mean he has a twin brother who's known of disguise and that we know little of other than his family. Who's to say Johnny got some tricks from Gavin?

Listen, friends.

I am NOT claiming Johnny Ghost is a big fat liar lying dishonest fibber.

BUT

He does love to claim PIE is US government affiliated which would make zero sense considering (depending on what lore you believe) Johnny Toast is the queen of englands grandson. That’s gotta be some kind of security breach there’s no way.

[obsidiancreates]

Now I can't stop imagining Psych and P.I.E crossovers. Remember how it's Canon that Jimmy can, at least temporarily, hop to other hosts sometimes (I go by the "Jimmy is a demon" line of thinking)?

I can't stop imagining him just causing chaos by hoping between both teams before eventually landing back in Ghost again.

[overthinkingtaleblr]

Out of P.I.E who would be most likely to be a blanket thief?

Okay, let’s go down the list, least to most likely to steal a blanket out of the four who are most likely to share a blanket with each other.

We already established that the Tall Johnny runs hot. Toast doesn’t even sleep with a blanket, he sleeps with a light sheet without a shirt on. If someone manages to get a blanket on his body, he will wriggle until its off of him and continue dozing peacefully.

Despite being the one with the least connection to ghosts, I think Chris sleeps like the dead. He doesn’t move in his sleep at all, so he can’t really steal blankets. He do be snoozing, and he is probably the easiest to take a proper blanket from. He will steal his blanket back in the morning and just walk away with it.

Next is Short Johnny. Ghost runs very cold, so he is covered in blankets and a SINGLE draft could lead him to grab the nearest blanket on the bed. I imagine there have been several particularly cold nights where the people he’s sleeping with wake up with NOTHING on their body. Because Ghost is crazy.

Fred “The Spooker” Soup moves the most in his sleep and I could see him as a sleep hugger. Like, if he doesn’t have a person, a pillow, or some kind of stuffed animal between his arms, he will start bunching the blanket up while unconscious. He is the most likely to steal the blanket if he does not take the proper precautions.

And since I haven’t been consistently answering asks recently, I want to give as much as possible with this! P.I.E adjacent stuff under the cut!

First off, as MANY interns as I can list off the top of my head. These guys are no longer sharing the same bed for the record.

Jenny Ghost doesn’t even use a blanket, and she would sleep on the floor if she could help it. She’s not a blanket thief, she’s barely a blanket-user.

Mabeline solely uses hand-made snuggies bc he doesn’t trust a single person in the world not to steal his blankets. If he actually shared a blanket with someone, he has an arm hooked on the blankets so he doesn’t lose them.

As I see her (a Dullahan) Jenny Toast doesn’t sleep, and when she’s lying down with someone with a blanket, she’d only steal the blanket if she thought it would be funny. And she often thinks its funny.

Leonard Malkovich has been married to a blanket thief for over a decade, it’s to the point where he has become one in turn. SMH, sometimes you become what you seek to destroy.

WHEN they ever manage to knock him out, Spencer Acachalla is Schrödinger's blanket thief. If there is a blanket near him and he’s asleep, he’s not stealing the blanket until he is. Like, he keeps inching under it, and it’s not a problem until it very suddenly is… or never is. He’s an enigma.

Josh THRASHES in their sleep. Maybe they don’t steal it ON PURPOSE, but that blanket is not staying on anybody when they’re done with it.

Alberto Guppy will consciously take any blanket he sees off of someone who is sleeping. He is the sole reason why people no longer bring blankets to PIE’s home base, he will try to steal them.

Former Members including the OG PIE team and deceased former friends to the team <3

‘Dark Pit’ has learned to tuck the blanket under him when sleeping with friends. Not like it matters, he’s a very light sleeper so any ATTEMPT to get the blanket wakes him up.

Johnny Ghost Senior is a side-sleeper who can only fall asleep if he’s on top of his hands. Peewee does not understand it, but it stops him from stealing the blanket.

While Katrina is actively not a blanket thief, she does kick in her sleep.

Mary Toast doesn’t steal blankets in her sleep, but she would take one off of a friend if she was cold and they were passed out. Specifically if it was Toast, considering he’d probably prefer not to have a blanket…

Ronnie Boast only ever moves in his sleep to take BACK stolen blanket space. It’s like clockwork, too.

Similar to Josh, Johnny Roast does not sleep easily. Unlike Josh, he ACTIVELY steals blankets during his thrashing. It’s not an accident, he is pulling them onto his body.

T.Casket.

Woah also doesn’t sleep, but she likes to sit wrapped in warm blankets like a burrito, and it becomes a problem when she realizes she can take Any blanket off of Any sleeping person at ANY time.

Those are all the ones I can think of/Ones that I think would be funny.

[k9ok]

Should we give Jenny and Jenny an extra member or 2 like how P.I.E has Spooker and Colon? If so, who would it be?

I think having Josh join their team could be very interesting, and I believe they actually interact in their debut video if I'm not mistaken (that being in the BYW story)

Who else though.... Maybe we can give them Johnny Cranky for fun? Maybe someone like Apupu Soup?

What do you guys think?

[cardboardfrnd]

a thought: how do we think the p.i.e team were like in college. who attended who dropped out mid semester who just didnt go at all

[corvidaeconundrum]

Thinking about that P.I.E rewrite again (May make some more art cause gat damn)

[solitarysketcher]

Thought this up while eating curry with chicken and rice

Everyone thinks that Spooker likes sweet foods and candy. He absolutely hates it; his favourite is spicy foods.

This also means he has the highest spice tolerance out of P.I.E. - like really high. When Ghost asked how high it too high, Spooker said in such a calm voice it was almost threatening: "I want it to blow my throat out. :)"

Yes he's eaten jalapeños and even Ghost Peppers in front of the team; it's one of the only times they've seen him look smug.

the smugger

[dehliman]

@hazlewolf-43 “P.I.E team shenanigans.”

Absolutely the four to ever <3

[lunadreamscaper]

I think they should cuss. I think Spooker would swear in ice cream flavors, yes like that one tumblr post.

it'd be insane if the entire team did swear but explicitly in french. all of them. for no reason. (im not making this canon to shatterverse)

[cherrybombfangirlwrites]

Galaxy Destoryer ; a WIP (Re)Intro

(New and Improved!)

Genre and Setting

Status and Length

Drafting, less than 1k ; 3 books or a duology, we'll see

Tropes and Themes

Found family but they're a bunch of criminals and fugitives, cyberpunk, found family but they're all dumbasses, androids and cyborgs, space pirates and bounty hunters, spaceships and laser guns, The Mandalorian and Guardians of the Galaxy vibes, a little to no romance, humans are space orcs, a bunch of criminals accidentally adopt a baby, accidental and reluctant heroes, the "we fucking hate each other but a paycheck is a paycheck" to found family pipeline, main characters avoiding the main plot like the plague ; questioning and exploring morality, choosing between two evils, forgiveness and finding people you can trust, a little touch of space politics but it's mostly background noise, the dangers and harm of capitalism in the background but the characters avoid the main plot so it's background noise as well

Warnings and Rating

sci-fi typical violence, some mental health issues and trauma, possible torture and blood, angst galore ; Teen and Up

the baby, a literal infant, adopted by a bunch of criminals

telekinesis powers

mischievous little shit

Antagonists

P.I.E. - Peace Intergalactic Expansion. the micromanaging intergalactic republic government. they used to be better, but in the last couple of decades they were slowly taken over by their "all life and everything must be perfect and pristine" science division.

Black Holes - space pirates that are the extreme opposite of PIE. they claim to be the resistance and rebellion against PIE, but they're not much better in the long run, hurting whoever they need to without remorse to get what they want.

Plot

A bunch of criminals are hired for a job by PIE, the Peace Intergalactic Expansion of the galaxy. The job is top secret, and all they know is that PIE wants them to retrive some kind of weapon- but if they do follow through, their records will be clean and they'll get a thick paycheck. The rag tag team thrown together for this one job hate each other, but they figure a paycheck is a paycheck and decide to tolerate it for this one job.

But as they continue on their job, the crew starts to think something is off. The Black Holes offer them something huge to bring them the weapon instead, and no one even knows what this weapon actually is. Meanwhile PIE is breathing down their necks, reminding them constantly what will happen if they fail or try to betray the huge organization.

Then they find the weapon, and it seems that maybe no one should have the weapon. And that weapon isn't really a weapon at all.

Extra Stuff

Specifics on Corie's cyborg parts: her right eye, right arm from the elbow down, and her left leg from the knee down are prothstetics. She lost her leg to a job that went sideways, and her eye and arm to pirates attempting to exact their revenge on her.

^^^ The arm does have a laser gun attachment and her eye does have a little interface with aiming and targeting

NOVA's model was originally going to be a new line of military androids for PIE, but Nova- the first prototype of her line- failed all her diagnostic tests and they had her scrapped and abandoned the project

The ship they use and fly around in is an old military battle cruiser- called the Fifty-five Utility Battle Starcruiser, or the FU-BS. (I'm think i'm hilarious)

Hades's powers are mainly telekenisis, but he will straight up catch on fire or freeze everything within five feet of him if he's angry and throws a big enough tantrum

Astra and Nova have a rivals to lovers romance that's mainly in the background and for comedy purposes

Pandora and Aries have a kind of cute and fluffy friends-to-lovers romance happening in the background too

Dlakoonians and Alltinians are two alien specis in my worldbuilding that I'm currently working on developing

I took a ton of inspiration for this WIP from the Mandalorian and Guardians of the Galaxy. PIE is based on the Xandarians in GotG and The Black Holes are based on the Ravagers. The plot is inspired by the first two seasons of the Mandalorian (with my own fun additions and twists of course!)

Knox used to be named Lannie but that name was too close to a character from another WIP so I changed it

I was reading some of your older fics (around 2021) and the idea of Jimmy actually talking to his knife has given me a fic idea where he gets into an argument with it because he's currently giving someone else attention and it's 'jealous' about that

*cracks knuckles* It's been years since I wrote Jimmy at this point but here we go.

"Hahaha! Lookit him RUNNIN' AWAY!!!" Jimmy aims his automatic gun of some sort (he has no idea what kind- he just pulled out whatever Ghost happened to snag from the last decommissioned military base the P.I.E team went ghost hunting in) as Spooker flees, screaming.

"Awwww, his little legs a-goin'! CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM MY SECREEE- what?"

Spooker stops screaming long enough to look back and see Jimmy lower the gun and pull out a knife. A smart person, or person with any modicum of common sense, would take the distraction as an opportunity to escape.

Spooker freezes in place.

"What do you mean 'how could you'?! ... I know I can throw you! But he's TOO FAR AWAY!" the last three words all run together into one difficult-to-parse screech.

Jimmy gasps at the knife.

"CHEATING?!"

The knife glints, even though there's no light shining on it. Not here.

"I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LOYAL TO YOU! YOU SHOULD'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT!"

The knife shines with phantom blood- as in blood not actually there, not the blood of phantoms. It hasn't been used to kill a phantom in ages.

"I DON'T CARE THAT MY GRAMMER IS BAD!!!"

Spooker finally realizes he has a chance here, and slowly creeps away- until he steps on a stick. Crrrk!

"HEY! DON'TCHA KNOW IT'S RUDE TO INTERRUPT AN ARGUMENT BETWEEN FRIENDS?!" Jimmy throws Knifey as hard as he can- and misses. Knifey falls to the ground a full three feet short of Spooker.

"CRAP!"

Spooker absolutely books it, and Knifey teleports back to Jimmy's hands. He glares into the corroded, rust-covered, razor-sharp blade.

"I told you it was too far! NEVER GET JEALOUS OF RANDOM NO-ONE GUNS AGAIN!"

[overthinkingtaleblr]

∇ - P.I.E

Ik Toast and Ghost are headcannoned alot to be in their 30s but I am curious about Spooker and Colin (and yes I did all 4 because I couldn't choose)

∇ - old age/aging headcanon

Thank you very much! This is not something i think about often, so this was fun to consider!

I do actually have birth years for 3/4th of these guys! Ghost was born in 1981, Toast was born either early 1980 or late 1979, and Spooker is younger than Toast but older than Ghost, so he’s in the middle. Colon is the youngest of them, though, and his birth year can be as late as 1985, maybe even later. This means in 2013 Ghost was 32, Toast was 34, and Spooker was 33. I don’t remember what year Colon joined the team, but he’d also be creeping into his 30s. Personally, my age headcanons comes solely from a one-off line Ghost had about being in middle school in the 1990s and basing everyone else’s age off of Ghost, but he’s. Not the most trustworthy with his memories. So I’m not gonna demand people see my age headcanon as fact lol. (It also means the whole team is in their 40s now, which is trippy)

Anyways, none of them are anywhere near old age yet, imo, but… I will say that Ghost and Toast, more specifically Toast, probably didn’t sit still long enough to make it past their 60s. In my headcanons, Peewee, Ghost Sr., and Toast Sr. All died at a pretty young age, and Toast’s biggest example in the world is his daredevil grandmother, so neither of them are really raised to consider getting older. Ghost especially is kind of presented like a martyr when things start to go awry, meaning at the first sign of shit hitting the fan, he’s most likely to take a self-sacrificing route like a moron. Spooker ages a bit slower than the others, because he’s pretty dead, so he might be able to outlive Colon too… and Chris would be the best grandpa in the world, he’s going to have so many stories and presents and he’s going to be so happy and i love it for him.
