Petnames Apo Would Call The Various People I Ship Her With (& Vice Versa)
(in a world where she was actually in a relationship with them)
because Apo is lovergirl supreme and also the Queen of petnames <3
some of these are normal and some of them are simply the chaotic whims of my wonderful brain
yes you absolutely can use these for fic writing/etc
do tag me though I wanna see it because I love these ships—
(disclaimer: this is not an exhaustive list and also I tried not to overthink characterization and just went based off vibes)
Things Apo Calls People:
Cherri
Starting off canon! Apo calls Cherri "beloved", "love" and "my lady" in the series, but I think we should add "dear", "dearest", “blossom”/“my blossom” and of course, "sunshine" for maximum Gay Emotional Damage
Pyro
I'm thinking Pyro would get "sweetness" and "pretty boy" (also "pretty girl" if we wanted to get fun with it) and the good ol fashioned "puddin'"
I'm also strangely fond of "cygnet" (a cygnet is a baby swan. btw) because it's cute and also something something the ugly duckling was never an ugly duckling it was a swan being judged by the standards of ducks. you get it
Legs
In my heart, Legs really likes petnames. He'd never tell you that though, because of The Guilt and masculine sterotypes but also mostly The Guilt
anyway Apo calls him "honey" and "darling" and "sugar" and “pretty baby” and “peaches”
they are so cutes
Abolish
I think these two would be a “no petnames” couple for a bit and then suddenly a switch gets flicked and Abolish starts getting hit with “pretty boy” and “little prince”/“my prince” and “pretty baby” and sometimes “raven”/“my raven”
Shelby
these two are absolutely a case of “princess” (derogatory) to “princess” (sexually charged). I know this in my heart
Shelby also gets “bunny”, “sugarplum” and sometimes teasingly “peanut”
Avid
Apo calls him “princess” and “sweet pea” and sometimes “angelface” or “ducky”
Drift
Drift gets “little prince”/“my prince” etc and “pumpkin” and “darling” and “lovebug”
Cleo
I think Apo would jokingly call them “sugar tits” lmao—
but also “petal” and “Cupid” and “love”/“my love”
Martyn
well she still definitely calls him “rich boy”—but also “baby boy” and “pretty boy” and sometimes just “my boy”
she also calls him an asshole. affectionately
Pearl
Pearl gets “rose”/“my rose”
Things Apo Gets Called:
Cherri
Cherri calls Apo “baby” and “darling” and “honey” and “sweet thing” and sometimes “apple of my eye”/“apple” or “pigeon”!
Pyro
I think Pyro ends up calling her “rainstorm” or “coffee”/“coffecake”/“coffecakes” he’s a student. He likes coffee. Coffee=good=Apo
Legs
Legs calls her “sweetness” and “pet” and “angel” <3
Abolish
Abolish rarely uses petnames, however he sometimes calls her “dove”
Shelby
…I think Shelby would unironically call her “snookums” and “pookie”(Apo gets flustered but doesn’t mind)
Shelby also calls her “boo”/“my boo” and “baby/my baby”!
Avid
Avid’s chosen petnames are “sweet potato” and “kitty cat” and “apple blossom”
Drift
Drift doesn’t use petnames for a while, but eventually starts calling them “my lady”/“m’lady” and even more eventually “pretty bird”/“pretty girl”
Cleo
Cleo takes to calling Apo “Apple” and that is…about it
(secret bonus Cleo starts calling her kitten)
Martyn
“Miss Militia”/“Lady Militia” ofc but also “m’lady” and sometimes jokingly “ma’am”
CAUTERIZE (Legundo/Pyro) VS APPLECLUES (Apo/Drift)
CAUTERIZE
APPLECLUES

Propaganda under cut!
CAUTERIZE:
• Kinda feels like a less doomed bloodletting to me. If they had had more of a relationship from the start or if Pyro had put his trust in Legs with the whole cure thing I think they could have been really healing to eachother (pun intended). Like Pyro might have snapped out of it if he had had someone who told him that he wasn't a monster and maybe he could have gotten Legs to see some good in himself too. Just realized these two freaks are gonna live rent free in my head now and there aren't even a lot of fics about them. So please let them win so people write about them more. I need this for my sanity
• HILARIOUSLY ENOUGH, the first romantic crush my Tomodachi Life Miis had was Pyro crushing on Legs. Like. I hadn't even really considered them before but apparently-
APPLECLUES:
• my appleclues propaganda is that they should kill scott goldsmith together and make out over his corpse.
writing stuff for my starter vamp!Drift au & somehow appleclues has snuck its way in here. It just happened. No matter how old Drift is she sees a woman push someone off a bridge & goes "hellooo sailor"
Bracket part 1 (made in bracket fights) Match ups were decided by a wheel spin. This is half of the ships in the tourney.

CURSEDOCTOR:
• Curse Doctor: old man yaoi but they both look rugged. Guys. Bear x bear. They would be so sweet with eachother. Ren and the Doc would 100% be like the couple that like maintains the community garden and keeps to themselves except when they are helping others. Ren has a lot of experience living on his own- the Doc has a lot of need to be somewhere grounded, quiet, and in a place where he is valued for his healing. Ren would not only value and respect that, he would 100% be the person to love that. I literally don’t ship this before stumbling upon this poll and now I REALLY jive with it.
APPLECLUES:
• my appleclues propaganda is that they should kill scott goldsmith together and make out over his corpse.

MYTHLOCKE:
• Mythlocke is 100% a “person who thinks they’re dating x person who is not sure why this other one is following them around”. It’s very funny if you think of it from either angle actually. Make Abolish oblivious that they’re dating. Make Abolish so shit at expressing real emotions that he has a fat crush on this dude and is doing all of these big romantic things and to sausage it doesn’t register like at all. Guys this is peak.
APPLECLUES:
• my appleclues propaganda is that they should kill scott goldsmith together and make out over his corpse.
(Reminder that this is just the first half of the whole bracket and there are another 32 ships in the tournament that haven’t been released yet, there will be two more rounds of this set of pairs before moving to the bottom half of the bracket)
