In the event that you have no idea what I’m talking about, long story short, we started talking about Apple the Whumpee AUs. Thus Banana and Orange were born! And then we got to talking and we got to Tree! And then Lettuce! And then Radish. And Wine. And-- look, just check out below to learn about them all lol.
CW: Alcohol/alcoholic, blood, implied dissociation, degrading language, DUB-CON mention, emotional manipulation, exhaustion, fire, flaying (skinning) mention, inadvertent manslaughter, institutionalized slavery, low self esteem, kinda masochist whumpee, minor whumpee (not anymore but was), neglect, NON-CON mention, parental death mention, pet whump, poor self care, self harm, Stockholm Syndrome, torture mention, “would rather die” than do something
-> Dub-con and Non-con mentions apply to Wine and his universe’s Benji. Briefly mentioned and not at all in depth, but please proceed with caution. (Second-to-last Apple-sona on the list.)
OG Apple
Sweet boy Apple who can do no wrong. Lovely green hair, is obsessed with Clay, who hates him. Master of persuading himself Clay’s neglect is for good reason. Would die before admitting otherwise.
Banana
Yellow haired Apple, has a little bit of common sense in the form of a voice in the back of his head telling him he deserves better. Very often ignores said voice, is widely considered the weakest of all the Apples. On the plus side, Clay likes Banana more than Apple’s Clay likes him.
Orange
Orange haired Apple, so blind to the neglect he doesn’t even have to rework it in his head to justify the action. It just is. Orange’s Benji very much worries for him.
Tree
Apple the gentle giant. Still very much obsessed with Clay but terrified of him too. Also obsessed with Marvel movies. Loves saying “I am Groot” jokingly but absolutely introduces himself as “I am Tree.” Lowkey annoys the bejesus out of his Benji.
Lettuce
The Apple of Health Nut Clay. Is forced to exercise to near exhaustion and does so happily. Is secretly jealous of Benji, who is dissected for being the “near perfect” human pet. Self harms in the form of skinning.
Radish
Apple with reddish-pink hair, was actually chosen as a stress reliever by and for Clay. It’s not so much neglect as straight up torture. Almost always covered in blood, terrifies the Benji in that AU and is used to scare them straight.
Watermelon
Apple with split hair dye, half reddish-pink, half green, with an entirely black wardrobe. Cares very little about what his Clay thinks of him. The same goes for his punishments. Is very attached to his Benji though.
Coconut
Apple with iridescent hair. Considered the prettiest of the Apple-sonas, his Clay practically worships him. He’s punished sensibly and made “pretty,” and Coconut kind of likes it. Resident misunderstood Apple-sona.
Pomegranate
Apple with pink hair. Spontaneous and horrible at planning. Tries to please his Clay with a combination of gut feeling and a lack of common sense. Very often misreads the room and ends up infuriating his Clay more than anything else.
Cow
Apple with cow print hair. Yes, I am aware he’s not named after a plant lol. Not as infatuated with his Clay as the rest of the Apple-sonas. Has a bull-like temper but is very easygoing otherwise and has a soft spot for outsider Apple-sonas. Has a gold septum piercing and ear tag (like a cow) and is the best of all the Apple-sonas at applying hair dye.
Dragon Fruit
Apple with reddish-pink hair and plenty of light blond highlights. A pyromancer who lost his parents in a fire of his own creation. Hates his powers and hides them from Jimmy, who is trying to help him through his internalized traumas. Very much wants to help others but is afraid of hurting them.
Cactus Pear
Apple with dark magenta hair. Known for his prickly and standoffish nature. Is very affectionate towards his Clay, who treats him very well but also emotionally manipulates him into believing he’s the only one who’ll ever love him. Incredibly dependent on Clay but also very lonely. A hopeless romantic.
Elppa
Apple with bright red hair. Also lived the opposite of Apple’s life. The salesman saved him, Clay cared for him, and Jimmy is the one who kidnaps and tortures him. Doesn’t understand the other Apple-sonas’ hatred towards their Clays. Dislikes most of them greatly because of it.
Fig
Apple with long, purple to pink ombre hair. Selectively mute and has a very pronounced slouch from his four years with the salesman. Was then sold to Clay and preened. Began speaking again. However, he was only cleaned up to be sold again. In Jimmy’s care, began to regress. Still exhibits muteness. Winner of the ‘Saddest Apple-sona Prize.’
Peach “Star Fruit”
Apple with peach hair. Very similar to OG Apple but has an extreme passion for astrology. Very quiet, shy, and self conscious about said passion. However, after gushing about it, he earns himself the nickname “Star Fruit“ amongst the Apple-sonas.
Cherimoya
Apple with natural hair. *gasp* Was born into the system, trained and groomed and kept unmarked and adorable so that when their owner finally got a hold of them, they’d be lovely to break. Jimmy “saved” them before that. Now they live with Jimmy, naive and with no real understanding of how the world works. Very much only wants to please their Jimmy despite Jimmy’s best efforts to show them they’re human, not a pet.
Wine
Apple with dark red hair, the Apple of Alcoholic Clay. Alcoholic Clay regularly is intimate with Benji, who is usually unresponsive, so when he is especially tipsy, he goes to Wine, who actually very much enjoys their time together because Stockholm Syndrome. Afterwards, however, Clay always gripes about how disgusting Wine is, leaving Wine very confused but also very much in love.
Bonus - Dirt
Pet Clay AU. An outcast like Coconut. Is a frightened and skittish whumpee and very obedient. So beat up and ruined that the other Apple-sonas barely recognize him.

Apple-sona Art!
All the Apple-sonas to Date! / Star Fruit (x) / Cow (x) (x) / Lychee (x) /
To all Apple sonas - I want to adopt two of you. Who wants to come? >:)
Quick CW: Dissociation, Stockholm Syndrome
Watermelon raises their hand, and Radish hits him. "What?? You want to go with them?"
Watermelon shrugs. "Yeah, they seem cool."
Radish stares, completely shocked for a moment, and then raises his hand as well. "I better not regret this."
Cherimoya's hand is up right after theirs. They admittedly have no idea what's going on right now, but they want to be a part of it!
All Cow has to do is think of the prospect of a good hug before his hand is up, too. Behind his back, his fingers are crossed.
Tree peers behind him and makes sure his Clay isn't looking. Then, looking smaller than ever, he lets out a meek, "It would be nice..."
Pomegranate raises his hand, too, because he’s got a good feeling about you!
Star Fruit follows suit, mostly because he’s curious.
Cacao doesn’t even bother raising his hand because he’s afraid he won’t get picked anyway...
Coconut scoffs and rolls his eyes, but playing with a blade of grass, he's thinking about it. Would it really be so bad to leave Master Clay?
Apple, Banana, Orange, Cactus Pear, and Wine all keep their hands down, because they have all the love they need with their Clays. Lychee and Dragon Fruit have their Jimmys, so they’re fine, too. Fig is dissociating hard and doesn’t hear the question.
I am exhausted but I’m still working so I would just like you all to imagine the Apple-sonas going on a trip to the zoo, in which case Cow is very much the soccer mom.
He absolutely has a backpack with him the whole time, he makes sure none of the Apple-sonas get lost on the trip (although Cherimoya almost gets away), and when they start to get fussy with the late-afternoon lull, he busts out sandwiches and juice boxes because over his dead body are they paying for that overpriced food they’re serving on the premises.
I noticed that you said the Apple-sonas needed names other than Auggie, so here's my input: Banana = Bailey, Orange = Orion, Tree = Trevor, Lettuce = Lee, Wine = Wilbur, Radish = Radcliff, Watermelon = Watson, Coconut = Colton, Pom = Poe, Cow = Cody, Dragon = Drew, Cactus = Caen, Elppa = Eiggua, Fig = Finn, Star Fruit = Stark, Cherimoya = Chet, Dirt = Yalc. (-Headcanoner)
Wait, wait, wait, this is so big brain lmao. I was reading it and I was like, "Wait, why do they all have the same first letters," and long story short I’m very tired lol.
BUT ACTUALLY. I REALLY LIKE THIS A LOT. THESE ARE ALL LIKE SOME OF THE BEST AND CUTEST NAMES EVER. WILBUR. LEE. COLTON???! ADORABLE.
Oh gosh, @sideblogformindtrash warned me if I gave them names they’d be one step closer to OCs of their own and that they would inevitably grow in power--and then proceeded to agree they needed them lol. So we’re embracing it at this point.
Only gonna change a few ‘cause these names are all wonderful.
Star Fruit’s actually a nickname for Peach, so maybe Peter?
Cactus Pear’s kinda giving me more Cameron vibes.
I don’t think Cherimoya actually had a first name thinking about it now because he was born into the system, although they were definitely called “Cheri” for short. :)
I was thinking of changing Dirt and Elppa’s first names but honestly, no, they’re perfect lol. Though Yalc definitely goes by his middle name Declan.
Coconut's headcanons for the Apple party: Nobody likes him, so they leave him to his own devices. Even Banana and Orange, the most innocent guys around, won't let him play Fruit Ninja with them. During the sleepover, everyone keeps their distance from him (except for Tree, who is still kinda drunk and mistakes Coco for a cloud).
This is so sad and so true. Coconut doesn't even get to go to Apple parties very often anyway, so that definitely doesn't help.
Watermelon and Radish think he's a suck-up, the others are jealous and protective of their Clays. Even Apple's pretty wary of him out of fear that his Clay will like Coconut more than him. :,(
Chillin' in the corner with Tree, Coconut starts to drink what he's drinking, and during their sleepover, he gets drunk enough to allow himself a good cry on the bathroom floor.
He doesn't like being put on this pedestal he realizes, and besides, being pretty was supposed to make him likeable, not the opposite.
OG Apple definitely walks in on him puking in the toilet later, drunk to the point that he's sick, bawling his eyes out because he feels absolutely disgusting. Definitely not pretty. But Coconut almost bursts into tears again when he sees Apple left a mint on the sink for him for when he's finished (because you know none of the Apple-sonas brought their toothbrushes lol).
Later that day, Apple tries really hard to be nicer to Coconut. He learns Coconut's actually a really bad cook, loves dad jokes, wants to visit a beach someday, and just really needs a hug. Which he gets. Coconut smashes Apple into the biggest bear hug when it's time to leave, and all the other Apple-sonas are staring.
But Apple hugs him back and makes him promise he'll come back to visit next time. Coconut pinky swears, then leaves to his Clay's car.
Once there, his Clay tells him today he'll get to be made pretty. For the first time ever, that doesn't make him happy.
Sorry for my longer ask, but I just binged all the introduction posts of all the various Apples and I wanted to make my own. Also this one is a little strange, but whatever. Also also, I’m shy because of the long ask and it being a weird fruit, but I might come off anon later, once I’m feeling less anxious.
Okay so I grew up near the Amazon rainforest and ate a lot of cacao fruit because non native fruit was more expensive and my parents only bought even now and then. Anyway, cacao comes in these brown pods that you have to break open and get the white fruit from inside. The taste is a sweet, tropical taste with a kinda sour aftertaste. Also, there’s beans inside of the fruit that if you crush them up and add some sugar, boom, you got chocolate.
So for the actual OC, I was thinking an person of color, specifically South American descent, probably with white dyed hair, but you can change it. He seems super sweet and kind at first but as you get to know him, you realize he can be sarcastic and a jerk at times (like a sour aftertaste, right?). Would probably hurt Banana, Orange, and OG Apple’s feelings with his sudden mean attitude. But past all his rudeness, he actually just wants a friend. (Sweet like chocolate). Idk what his relationship with the salesman or Clay is like, but Clay probably bought him because he seemed so sweet, but quickly grew to despise him on account of his sarcasm and rudeness.
........
Okay, so it turns out I... I guess I just never did post this...... So like, note to self, because apparently being on Tumblr is teaching me lots of life lessons recently, but A) don’t assume to know who people on anon are based on random coincidences because if you’re wrong you will look very silly and B) double check things before you go freaking out about them being gone because, well, see the end of lesson A. So apparently Life Lessons with CB should just be a thing. Learn from my mistakes please lol.
But hey, at least it’s here and not murdered by Tumblr as I previously thought. That’s good. Uh, moving on now. :)
__________
We’re skipping the Blackberry Apple-sona for now because I know “emo” and “goth” don’t all fit the stereotype and I want to make sure I get it right but anyway. :)
I know I’ve said this before but whatever lol. The long ask is a-okay! that just means I have more stuff to work with! :D You don't have to worry about coming off anon either. Just do whatever you feel comfortable with. <3
As for the fruit being weird, really aren’t they all? I mean, if I wasn’t familiar with bananas, I would be like, “Hey, that’s a pretty weird fruit!” Lol, ya know?
Quick CW: Food, torture mention
I will admit I stared at these pictures for a good two minutes lol. I was like, “Huh. Didn’t expect that,” lol, mostly ‘cause my first thought was “???” and my second was “...marshmallows?” So yeah, “weird” is a relative term, and I suppose it’s not so much weird as unique. :)
Introducing Cacao!
Ooh, I definitely like the white hair, and heck yeah we can go South American descent! All the Apple-sonas are actually POC and mixed race, and while I don’t have anything like definitively written out for them, I think they’re all Black and Hispanic. (Although Cacao, being of South American descent, would be Latino.) Just a lil’ fun fact!
So onto Cacao’s personality, I think you’re pretty spot on! He definitely looks the part of someone who’s super sweet, and that’s definitely what people see first. He’s super nice and caring and generous at first, but get to know him a little more, and you realize he does indeed have a more sour side to him. A defense mechanism he developed when he was a kid that’s unfortunately now showing its drawbacks.
What originally sounded like joking actually turns out to be actually rude remarks. Almost everything he says is sarcastic, but you can’t pick out the sarcastic tone until you’ve been around him long enough to notice it. All in all, he seems nice, but he isn’t too nice in reality.
Cacao w/ the salesman and Clay
Cacao didn’t spend too much time with the salesman. With how sweet he seemed, he also seemed incredibly well trained, and it wasn’t even a week before our buyer Clay showed up for him.
Cacao manages to keep the sweet facade on for less than a week before his more sour side starts leaking through to Clay. Of course, purchasing Cacao, Clay wanted a cute, obedient pet. However, Cacao’s snark and sarcasm very quickly has Clay being less than nice to Cacao in return.
But his Clay keeps him, because he spent good money on him. All he needs is a little attitude adjustment is all. Only he doesn’t really change because how are you supposed to be nice to someone who’s not nice to you? Over time, Cacao learns to hold his tongue, which is like... a little bit closer to being nice I suppose. But he’s definitely up there as one of the more defiant Apple-sonas, and while he doesn’t hate Clay so much--I mean, this is what pets sign up for, isn’t it?--he definitely doesn’t love him.
I don’t know if he gets a Jimmy yet. >:)
Cacao w/ the Apple-sonas
Oh, he definitely accidentally hurts OG Apple’s, Banana’s, and Orange’s feelings. Coconut’s, too. And Peach’s (Star Fruit’s). He even makes Cherimoya cry. :,,,) Not on purpose of course, but Cow definitely makes him apologize to each and every one of them like a total parent, and that’s when they make it their mission to help Cacao become a better pet person.
And they eventually all realize that underneath all the snark and rudeness, Cacao really is a nice, funny guy. And they become bestest friends! :D
(Oh, and Cacao definitely has sticky hands. No one knows why, not even him. All they know is fist bumps, not high fives lol.)
