Legion of Stationery: How They Feel About Each Other
So here is my headcanons on my version of the Legion. Honestly this has been way overdue and I need to post more of my PMTOK stuff again so this is a fun lil practice.
Written on Discord originally.
First off! Colored Pencils!
Jean Pierre’s Opinions on the Legion:
🔴 "It's Jean-Pierre Colored Pencils the 12th and you better not forget it!" (Pride)
🔵 “She’s so full of herself! Never have I met anyone more narcissistic!” (Conflict)
🟡 “Does he ever know how to read the room?” (Annoyance)
🟣 “Total meathead, honestly what else do you want me to say?” (Annoyance)
🟢 “I don’t want to comment.” (Conflict)
⚫ “Unsightly mutt! I ought to blow you to pieces!” (Conflict)
He doesn’t seem to get along very well with the rest, at least not as he is now. Jean will never admit it but before his current state of affairs he used to be quite close to Rubber Bands and Hole Punch. They used to be pretty friendly. Though, there’s been a tear in the friendship and the three aren’t really close at all anymore. By his own doing he’s cast himself off from the others and kinda sabotaged his few positive relationships due to trauma he wasn’t able to process very well. Considered a laughingstock by the higher powered members of the Legion for blowing up so easily and taking himself too seriously, he’s not exactly seen as sociable.
His truer feelings do still hold some care and concern for his colleagues, but he wouldn't be able to get past his pride to confess it easily at all. As the first member of the Legion of Stationery he got to watch everyone else kind of grow and become their own people so it's no surprise that despite everything he can't bring himself to fully hate any of them or wish them fully ill. …Stapler may or may not be an exception. /J maybe /hj
Rubber Band is next!
Rubber Band's Opinions on the Legion:
🔵 "And of course, the star is… MEEE!! Who else?" (Pride)
🔴 "All he does is whine, whine, WHINE! Get a grip already!" (Conflict)
🟡 "I guess he's fine. Kind of subpar music taste but it's a bit charming if archaic." (Neutral)
🟣 "It's always 'the boss' this, 'the boss' that with him! Though… He doesn't make for bad company." (Neutral)
🟢 "Keep your blade away from my bands, thank you!" (Avoidant)
⚫ "Not a fan of animals, frankly." (Annoyance)
Rubber Band sees herself as the star of the show. Frankly that would mean everyone's attention is on her, right? At least she would've hoped so. Rb is quick tempered as well and impatient to boot. Her relationship with the others isn't nearly as tumultuous but there is something left to be desired from her supposed teammates. She has a LOT to say about them and it might come across as harsh, though it's not hard to assume maybe she wants a more prominent role in their lives. As stated before, her biggest conflict is with Jean and they tend to squabble a lot over their issues with one another. Her relationship with Hole Punch is a lot less hostile and they can be pretty chill with one another but it's still not the degree of comfortable that their bond used to be.
While she doesn't care nearly as much about power dynamics and differences in the group, it irritates her beyond belief to be ignored. Getting the attention of those she dislikes is absolutely not off the table unless they prove to be a direct physical threat to her form. Maybe if Scissors wasn't so… Sharp. They'd get along a bit better.
Up next is Hole Punch!
Hole Punch's Opinions on the Legion:
🟡 "King of Groove right here! Think you can keep up?" (Pride)
🔴 "Total sourpuss, really oughta lighten up." (Neutral)
🔵 "Hey your music taste ain't all that different! What's the high and mighty act for?" (Neutral)
🟣 "Pretty solid guy. Head's emptier than a paper bag but I dig it." (Positive)
🟢 "…No thanks." (Avoidant)
⚫ "Pretty chill pup if you know what you're doing." (Positive)
Something about Hole Punch is different from the other Legionnaires. He's pretty laidback when he's not given orders and finds it in him to kind of be cool with most folk if he's allowed it. Though, it might be the fact that even for an early streamer guardian he's weirdly very strong. He's able to converse with some of the higher half of the Legion better than his previous teammates and seems to not hold conflicts or grudges for long which might seem surprising for a guy eager to punch out faces to get his way. Despite all this, he does feel a sense of disconnect from his stationery comrades that's hard to describe. Could it be echoes of a past life? (Answer is yes)
Hp is very blasé when he's not on the dancefloor and doesn't really care for in fighting. In the case of strength he doesn't really flaunt his and finds the obsession over it a bit… Off. Scissors unnerves him for their fervor and seeming need to fight. Please cool down man.
Tape's turn!
Tape's Opinions on the Legion:
🟣 "Ay, that's me!" (Pride)
🔴 "Who gave ya permission to be a pain in the ass???" (Conflict)
🔵 "Wouldn't mind watchin' that movie again…" (Neutral)
🟡 "What was that about a paper bag???" (Annoyance)
🟢 "Ya better put some respect on the boss's name!" (Conflict)
⚫ "Pretty darn spoiled for a dog." (Annoyance)
Tape is pretty temperamental, though considering the rest of the Legion it's not a surprise. While he doesn't exactly go around picking fights with all of his fellow Legionnaires he does communicate with them quite poorly and is one to jump to conclusions. Still, he feels responsibility over them in a way and holds pride in the fact he's part of the higher half of the Legion strength wise. Tape in particular is most loyal to Olly above all else and the others' views on the King tend to determine how he feels about them as well. Disrespect towards the king is considered a very high offense no matter what rank you are.
He's a simple guy really, he's not exactly hard to please and even despite his ability to misinterpret or misunderstand things it's always possible to have a second chance with him… If only some people were willing to try correcting things instead of being overly pompous… Mayhaps he could share a smoke with them. But that's just wishful thinking.
Here's Scissors!
Scissors' Opinions on the Legion:
🟢 "I shall not be outmatched." (Pride)
🔴 "Weak as you are, your pathetic attempts at relevancy are… Amusing." (???)
🔵 "Quite flashy but none of my concern." (Disinterest)
🟡 "You and I are on the same wavelength. One day you will understand." (Intrigue?)
🟣 "How long is that king of yours going to keep you protected…?" (Annoyance)
⚫ "He does not bother me." (Neutral)
The case of Scissors is… A complicated one. It's hard to really tell what they feel given his expression rarely ever changes. It looks like most of the Legion either avoids them or don't find much comfort in socializing with him which is… Understandable. With a penchant for staring and metaphorically poking at weak points of those around him who they deem inferior, Scissors is not easy to talk to at all. His ego and focus on power makes it horrifically hard for any member. His view of the others is solely based on their ranking in power in the Legion.
Scissors will respect those who do search for means to become stronger, and while most in the Legion are comfortable with their spots, he can sniff out who is or isn't wishing for a better placement. The lower ranks really need to watch their backs… Even if he might not act it, he's always watching for a wrong move or something to give their "true" selves away. He has no friends. Unsurprisingly.
And finally... Stapler!
Stapler's Opinions on the Legion:
⚫ Stapler is a good dog. (Pride)
🔴 Thinks he's funny when he screams. (Amusement)
🔵 Stapler should be getting the attention instead. Maybe you should give it some. (Neutral)
🟡 Big guy knows how to scratch behind his ears just right. (Positive)
🟣 Can you cook some food for it too? Quit being stingy. (Neutral)
🟢 He knows they're not immune to doggy charm. (Amusement)
The fat, lazy mutt doesn't do all that much but be a pest to some of the Legionnaires. You'd think that being the strongest and highest ranking member would get him some respect, but really, it just kind of uses the immunity to mess with the others or beg for treats or belly rubs. Not everyone in the Legion is particularly bothered by him but he does make it a point to be as annoying as possible to specific members who don't tolerate him as much. Regardless, Stapler really looks to be spoiled by everyone. He's a good dog, right? So he deserves rewards! What do you mean no? What? You're bringing up that sorry red beret he chewed to bits? Your fault for leaving it lying around.
It doesn't really care too much about power differences. If it helps him get what he wants it's a bonus, really. He's not a danger to anyone in the Legion and funnily enough unless Olly commands it, it won't attack anyone outside of it either. Unless something is in it for him.
That will be all for now! Hope you enjoy 🙏✨
