Can you do headcannons for some of the Fraccions as friends with each other please?

Fraccion Friends

I hope you were expecting a chart to go with this, because I made this. Don't ask me how long it took. Adding two "technically just Numeros" for fun! Actual headcanons (and clarification on who's friends with who, because face it, the chart is a mess) below the Read More! Assume the relationship is "neutral" if not clarified on the chart.

Kukkapuro: He has no hatred in his heart. He just wants to love and be loved, and while that primarily extends to his master, he has made a few friends among the fraccion! The Tres Bestias dognap him from Yammy on occasion. He's also fond of Szayelaporro's fraccion, as they often know where the best snacks are (much to Szayelaporro's detriment, as most of the snacks consist of experiments he's neglected). He's also been seen chasing after Lilynette, sitting quietly with Tesra, and posing in clothes with Charlotte. The closest Las Noches has to a family therapist, and pretty much everyone cashes in on it.

Szayel's Fraccion: All but universally hated. Most stay away from all of them, while Ggio goes out of his way to antagonize them whenever he gets the chance. They're all very close-knit, and while it's rumored they have a sort of hive-mind, it's mainly because they operate on a "if you're good with one of us, you're good with all of us" mentality. Kukkapuro is universally loved, and many will go out of their way to at least pet the dog. They're collectively afraid of Yylfordt.

Menoly: Hates Ggio, and, were it allowed, would collaborate with Loly and the Tres Bestias to snipe him. Friends with Loly, but also won't hesitate to talk shit about her, either. Believes she's in competition with Loly for Aizen's affections, and is unaware that Aizen views them both as his personal servants and "instant soap opera".

Loly: When not around Menoly, she's often hanging with the Tres Bestias. The mean girl of the friend group, often starts shit with Apacci for fun. Results vary, but somehow they still manage to be friends.

Shawlong: Almost everyone's dad. Often visits Charlotte, Abirama, Findorr, Choe Neng Poww, and Nirgge for a bi-weekly dad meetup. Keeps an eye on Di Roy and Ggio when they're allowed to meet up, mostly for damage control. Is Di Roy's living child leash, and makes sure he doesn't bite Yllfordt's arm. Again. Also occasionally visits Tesra to talk over snacks.

Yylfordt: Essentially Di Roy's bully of an older brother. Somehow also friends with Ggio, and enjoys harassing Szayelaporro's fraccion with him. Has almost gotten himself killed on three separate occasions when in the same room as the Tres Bestias. Will often use Nakeem as a rubber duck to bounce ideas off of.

Di Roy: Little Shit Enterprises. Will kick your ass, will kick your friend's ass, will kick his own ass! Often tries to annoy Yllfordt, and when that doesn't work, he goes to the worst targets imaginable and gets his ass kicked. Him being half-dead in a corner has become an inside joke among Grimmjow's other fraccion, as well as blaming anything that goes wrong on him. Once ate something inedible due to Ggio daring him, and now that is an inside joke as well. Somehow still good friends with Ggio despite it all.

Edrad: If not around Grimmjow, he can be found with Abirama. Think how gym bros act together, and you won't be too far from his and Abirama's dynamic, except there's a bonus stupid contest where they try to get each other to do the dumbest shit just for bragging rights. Somehow, they've managed to keep any damage they've done secret, primarily by blaming it on someone else (usually Di Roy).

Nakeem: Grimmjow's resident introvert. Generally keeps to himself, but occasionally he and Choe Neng Poww get together and sit in what can be assumed to be companionable silence. Is often used as Di Roy's flesh shield, which only works half of the time. Fond of his family, despite it all.

Charlotte: Part of the competitive polycule, but arguably the most chill about it- probably because he and Baraggan are married to everyone else in the polycule as well. Often tries giving Ggio life advice that either never gets heard, or ends up being taken the wrong way. Has done fashion shows with Kukkapuro before, because he stays still long enough for Charlotte to get him into an outfit.

Abirama: Puts the competitive in competitive polycule. Almost everything is a way for him to prove himself, and firmly believes that he's the best partner. Is also married to Findorr, but somehow believes that Findorr is competing with him for being the best husband. Is also good friends with Edrad, and considers him a slightly younger brother. Has gotten Edrad to steal food from Aizen, which they both ended up blaming on Di Roy. Everyone is convinced that the only thing they do together is work out, though they have been suspiciously close to many collapsed buildings within Las Noches.

Findorr: Friends with Shawlong and Yylfordt, and typically covers for Yylfordt whenever he goes to harass people. In firm competition with the rest of Baraggan's fraccion for first place in Baraggan's heart, but also wants to be at least second place in Abirama's. This often has led to the two of them one-upping each other in front of Baraggan, which is a mixture of flirting and genuine competition. Has said "Aw, it thinks it's people!" before, out loud, about Ggio, usually whenever Ggio tries impressing Baraggan as well. However, the moment anyone else bullies his son, all of his cells go into attack mode.

Choe Neng Poww: Firmly believes everyone else will burn themselves out trying to vie for Baraggan's attention, when he so clearly is the top husband already. Also affectionate with Nirgge and Charlotte, and believes they both hold title for second place in Baraggan's heart. Is also friends with Nakeem, and will often sit quietly with him while watching their respective families muck about.

Nirgge: Confident he's Baraggan's favorite, but Choe Neng Poww and Charlotte are next in line. Can usually be found among his fellow partners, or with Shawlong. He's also the one Ggio usually goes to for advice, despite giving arguably the worst advice Ggio could get- it's not out of malice, Nirgge's advice is just easy to boil down to"commit assault" or "suck it up", both of which Ggio takes to heart.

Ggio: Little Shit Number Two, but Competitive. Harasses the Tres Bestias for fun, but is capable of running fast enough to get away with it, and therefore believes himself to be immune from getting the shit beaten out of him. Loves all of his father figures dearly, but is most comfortable with Nirgge and Findorr, despite having completely different dynamics with the two. He occasionally meets up with Tesra, which was initially Baraggan's way of hoping to teach him manners, but has now devolved to Tesra becoming Ggio's part-time child leash. He's also good friends with Lilynette, and the two are often seen roughhousing or making bets. Has made several attempts to flirt with Lilynette at Nirgge's encouragement, all of which fail miserably.

Pesche: Typically followed Nelliel around as a fraccion, but due to circumstance was often around Tesra. He and Tesra get along well, despite Tesra's master genuinely hating Pesche and his brother. Also gets along well with Dondochakka, who he considers his brother, despite having no actual blood relation to him. While in Aizen's army, it wasn't hard to find him animatedly making an ass of himself to amuse Tesra and Dondochakka.

Dondochakka: Despite having no blood relation, considers Pesche to be his brother. Is also good friends with Tesra, despite Tesra's master wanting him, his brother, his master, and everything he ever stood for burnt to the ground. While in Aizen's army, he often encouraged Pesche's antics, much to Tesra's amusement.

Tesra: Resident child leash and mediator, especially when it comes to his master's hotheadedness. Has taken a liking to Kukkapuro, and will often seek him out on a day off, though he typically keeps to himself. Was initially slated by Baraggan to teach Ggio manners, but this has devolved to shadowing Ggio and ensuring he doesn't get himself killed. When Dondochakka and Pesche were in Aizen's army, he was quite fond of them, hanging out in the rare times their masters weren't trying to kill each other. Despite being endlessly devoted to Nnoitra, he managed to keep a close bond with the brothers. Will never say it out loud, but he does miss the two of them.

Apacci: If there's a man, she's going to fucking kill them. Worsties with Loly, and simultaneously adores and despises whenever she and Menoly drop by. In a "true love-hate" relationship with Sung-Sun and Mila Rose, and can intermittently be found both on dates and in the middle of fights with the two. The only person she seemingly has a steady friendship with is Menoly, who she talks shit with on a regular basis.

Mila Rose: Despite getting into frequent arguments with Apacci, they're both dating. Has joked to Sung-Sun, Apacci, and Harribel about the four of them being a lesbian commune before, but everyone is fully convinced that she's serious, because she's accurate. Sometimes despises her fraccion partners, other times is deeply in love with them. Regardless, she wouldn't trade them for the world, and knows the feeling is mutual.

Sung-Sun: Resident brain cell among the Tres Bestias, but that's sort of like being the tallest dwarf. Likes to believe she's above the drama, but gets into it just as often- if not more- than her partners, purely by eavesdropping and watching drama go down as if life was a soap opera build only for her. Usually the one that arranges dates and breaks up fights, though the fights tend to become her versus whoever she tried to calm down. To their credit, her methods are usually "are you a fucking idiot", and nobody takes kindly to that in the heat of the moment.

Lilynette: Friendly rivals with Di Roy, and will often frame him for problems she causes while also being framed for problems he created. Also enjoys Kukkapuro's company, and will get him to play fetch and chase him around. Good friends with Ggio, and often wreaks havoc with him when unsupervised. Has turned down Ggio multiple times, and isn't quite certain how to reject him without violence. She also doesn't know how to explain that she and Coyote are two halves of one being to him, and only loving half of a being would get weird after a while.

La colonización radical

Llegué tarde a internet. ¿Cómo están? ¿También llueve en su casa? Oigan, qué cosa el artículo ese de una feminista blanca que yo tampoco conozco. Que dice que si pofi le explicamos qué es heteropatriarcado porque le dio flojeritis leer, investigar, preguntar, y que a ella le parece que nomás es una cosa de "orientación sexual". Oook, llevamos décadas teorizando y resistiendo, como por qué le tenemos que explicar, wuatt. Un día dijo una feminista llamada Audre Lorde dijo lo siguiente y siempre la cito:  “Ahora se nos dice que corresponde a las mujeres de color educar a las mujeres blancas, afrontando su tremenda resistencia y enseñarles a reconocer nuestra existencia, nuestras diferencias y nuestros respectivos papeles en la lucha conjunta por la supervivencia. Lo cual es una manera de desviar nuestras energías y una lamentable repetición del pensamiento racista patriarcal”. Yo hace tiempo que dejé de dialogar con feministas blancas y burguesas, a veces lo intento, pero no es por ahí. Yo les iba a decir desde cuándo que están chidas dos que tres cosas que compartimos con las que se llaman “radfem”, pero a mí ese término no me gusta, está muy gringo y no pertenece a la teoría y resistencia de mis ancestras, pero bueh, en dos que tres puntos coincidimos y medio ahí la llevamos, pero pues somos otra cosa. Yo no soy radfem, soy lesbofeminista, yo no vengo de la historia del feminismo radical gringo, mi historia es desde las resistencias feministas en Abya Yala, en todo caso soy radical desde una visión que reconoce que lo radical es la lucha de las mujeres, contra el capitalismo y en contra de la heterosexualidad. Me preocupa harto que andemos compartiendo la teoría de las feministas blancas nomás porque nos hacen clic en dos que tres cosas y no nos ponemos alertas en la cantidad de cosas racistas, colonialistas y heterosexuales que ellas reivindican. Eso justo pienso, que desde hace tiempo estamos en una colonización interna y necesitamos dejar de emocionarnos solo porque dos que tres puntos estamos de acuerdo, bueno, sí, la que quiera emociónese, pero con crítica, mucha que andamos en una carrera colonial interna que está pero si bien decepcionante, miren que decirnos "radfem" a nosotras mismas, híjoles, pero ¿cómo pasó? ora resulta que en "radfem" vamos a ocultar nuestras teorizaciones latinoamericanas o que nos vamos a sentir "incluidas" ¿pues quiénes somos o cómo? ¿y nuestra de resistencia anticolonial? ¿y las millones de conversaciones, abrazos y acciones que hicimos y que las blancas siempre borraron en la historia del feminismo? ¿Ya se nos olvidó que no es con ellas y no es desde su hegemonía? No se vale. Besitas a todas.
