I'm a big Chandlo self shipper so... could I maybe get a Chandlo x nonbinary reader story of the reader reassuring Chandlo about his anxiety? :03
A/N: HI HELLO YEA THIS BLOG IS STILL ALIVE!!!! Life’s just been a bit…much. I’m working on multiple requests at the moment, and (hopefully) I should be able to post a couple more over the week! That being said, enjoy the fic!
Chandlo x Reader (Anxiety Dawg…)
Meditation was usually something Chandlo had no trouble with! Anymore. He had become incredibly used to just sitting down and taking a few breaths to relieve his worries, just as Shelda had taught him. But it was kind of hard to, with the feeling of solid unmoveable rock in your chest.
Chandlo felt like he was going to be sick as the phone went to voicemail again. His partner hadn’t picked up in ages and it was starting to scare him. They should’ve been home by now, so why were they running so late?! Without even a text message or anything!
He tried to think of rational things, reasons why his partner would be running late. Caught up in traffic, boss wanted them to work late, hell, even a flat tire! But it didn’t stop his brain from running to the most dangerous situtaitions as well, where they could be stranded on the highway somewhere, or they had gotten into a carcrash and were seriously hut, or they couldve gotten robbed or…or things had gone their worst and they just…weren’t here anymore. And everytime he tried to curb them, they just got louder and louder. Because what if something bad had happened? What if they were hurt and he couldn’t do anything to stop it? Wasn’t he supposed to be there for them?
The click of the lock on the door jolted him out of his thoughts. He turned from his pacing to see you walking in from the outside.
“Sorry I’m late, traffic was awful tonight and-” Your sentence was cut off from Chandlo practically slamming himself into you, wrapping his arms around you.
“There you are! I was so worried about you!” Chandlo felt a weight off his conscience at you being perfectly safe and sound. “You don’t have any injuries right? Nothing?”
“Hun. You’re starting to sound like Eggabell..” You tease a bit, returning his hug. “Everything alright?”
“I just, you didn’t answer your phone, and-and you’re usually back by now-”
“My phone died, love.”
“...Oh.”
You gently rubbed Chandlo’s back, feeling him purr against you. “Spiraled a bit?”
“...Yeah.”
“Wanna put something on TV and cuddle for a little bit?”
“...Yeah.”
Chandlo gets off you, as you stand and head over to flop on the couch with him. You toss the blanket over you two and turn in the television, putting on some random game show for background noise.
You kiss his forehead. “Feeling better?”
“Yeah, actually…” Chandlo sighs, before looking away in embarrassment. “Sorry for, uh, freaking out so much.”
“It’s ok hun, I know it can get rough sometimes.” You nuzzled against him. “And I’ll be there to soothe you when it does.”

Poly!Snorplo X Reader Headcanons
-Let's be real here both Snorpy and Chandlo thought you were cute before you even approached them to ask them on a date. Snorpy was way less subtle about it, fumbling over his words around you, poking his paws together, etc. Chandlo was less subtle (It is NOT hard to be less subtle than Snorpy TBF) but it was still really obvious he wanted to hang out with you. He'd often try to help you out with his strength, complement you, and other various small acts. They really do care about you.
-Once you start dating Snorpy will often talk to you about various theories. Sometimes he'll even do this while you're cuddling or holding hands. At first he was SUPER flustered about it but now it really only fuels his passion in the conversation.
-Chandlo will often help you around the house, he's a shockingly good cook and makes you and Snorpy breakfast. His building skills also can come in handy. He's made a few crafts before for you as a sign of affection. Still calls you "dude" even while you're dating though, he's very casually affectionate like that.
-There are various types of dates you have as options. If Snorpy is the one planning the date it'll most likely be super over planned, he tends to overthink things a lot. His favorite dates tend to involve going to a theater or a museum. Chandlo on the other hand tends to just go for things like nature walks and various other nature themed activities. Believe it or not Chandlo actually retained some knowledge from Snaxtooth and loves to talk about tree facts.
-If Snorpy isn't home I like to imagine Chandlo just wanting to relax on the couch with you, gently rubbing your shoulder as you two watch something. That or Chandlo will do some work outs, he might ask you to help him out!
-If Chandlo isn't home Snorpy will be working on projects and will want you around. He likes to hear you talk while he works. Your presence is VERY comforting to him. He'll even stop to watch you talk sometimes, just lovingly staring at you. He's a huge dork for you.
I just finished playing bugsnax in like 3 days (didn't unlock everything tho) and literally every couple has potential to have MC as their 3rd. Filbo has the most potential bc of how much he obsessed over Liz 1st and now he's ur roommate! And he knows ur not crazy! Tho Liz and eggabell could've trapped u w/ them as part of the bugsnax queen,,, lots of potential in this game, they all depend on u so much how could they not fall in love a little too much. Also I love ur work!
I really hope you liked it! :D I'm replaying it rn myself and I love all the new content they added in! And I still gotta get the dlc
And you're SO RIGHT.
Wambus and Triffany would feel themselves indebted to you for all you've done to them! And... Well, their relationship wasn't in the best shape before you came along, isn't that proof that you and they are meant to be? Plus, Wambus is far too stubborn to let you go. You've helped them so much and they care about you so dearly, won't you let them take care of you in return, hon? They just wanna dote on you, it's what you deserve!
And Chandlo and Snorpy just want to protect you! And... Take care of you. And spend every moment with you. And keep you hidden from the outside world, far from the clutches of The Grumpinati and their attempts to hurt you or take you away- or, well, maybe that's just Snorpy's paranoia talking. And Chandlo knows it's not good to feed into his boyfriend's worries, but when it comes to, well, Chandlo doesn't want to take a risk, either!
Chandlo'll wrap his arms tight around you in a hug to keep you still and safe in his arms. Being really good at hugging and protecting the people he loves is why he wanted to get strong in the first place! Well, half the reason. The other half was to be really good at basketball and also lifting houses. He'll hold you and nuzzle against you while Snorpy studies you and draws diagrams and even conducts his own interviews! Though, they'll before his and Chandlo's ears only...
Lizbert and Eggabell are even more protective of you than they are for, well, each other. It makes you feel coddled. Lizbert is ecstatic when Eggabell comes along on hunting trips, but both of them insist you stay in town (where it's safe!), and, uh, you know, just keep watch. Even if you try to sneak out after them, they'll fuss over you and ask if you're hurt the moment they find you - and the entire way as they walk you back to Snaxburg.
And as much you're happy to find both of them alive and... Relatively well, your heart sinks when you realize you won't be leaving Snaktooth Island with everyone else. Don't worry, though, all you need is them....
To Filbo, you are... Everything. His light in the dark. His hero. His buddy. His best friend. His Soulmate!! I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it? You believed in him. You tool him seriously. You always reassured him and never made him feel bad about himself. And yousaved him! You saved everyone. It's only right that he show the same care... The same love you showed him. You mean the world to him. He can't take his eyes off of you, so don't worry if you feel eyes burning into the back of your head or feel hot breath on the back of your neck, heh. And if he wins the election, his first action as mayor will be using all of his power to be able to keep you all to himself and treat you like you deserved to be.
Floofty would probably come off the most... Strange. You could feel their gaze on you throughout the entirety of your stay on Snaktooth. You were sure they hated you. They'd purposefully bump into you, insult and talk down to you, force you to gather supplies for experiments with no thanks in return. And when they weren't acting like a menace toward you, they'd hole themselves up in their hut or in the wrecked ship outside of town to do goodness knows what.
And when you had finally managed to convince Floofty to come back to town, you went back to Boiling Bay to collect some bugsnax a resident was looking for, and decided to take one last peak into Floofty's makeshift hut... And you felt yoyrbresth escape your lungs. In the light of day, you could clearly see your name written and scratched into the wood over and over and over again. If you weren't able to calm yourself down, you might've thought everyone was right about Floofty - that they really were a murderer and their next target was you. But, for the life of you, you didn't know what you had done to make them so angry with you...
It's only when you leave the island and Floofty gets a better handle on dealing with their emotions and other grumpuses that Floofty gets you all alone... And confesses. You... You were all they could think about. You took up almost every thought. It terrified them. They were awful, and yet you treated them with kindness and... And it was the most frightening thing they'd ever experienced. They were so, so worried. Their work in snaxburg was all for naught. And now... Now, they couldn't protect you. If something happened... They wouldn't be able to put you back together. And it was horrifying. It was horrifying to care so much. To love you so deeply and wholly and completely, to love you so much it ached.
YESSS YESSS UR SO RIGHT. And then ofc we can’t forget the way they’ll both just stop talking randomly and watch you play around in the water and sand, sometimes even daring to join you. Snorpy is a bit hesitant but seeing that smile on your face and how much fun chandlo has lifting you up and touting you around makes him join in.
At first, Snorpy was content to simply watch from the sidelines. Despite a protective layer of fur and a good amount of sunscreen to protect from the sun's rays, Snorpy's penchant for staying inside made him far more susceptible to sunburn than Chanldo, who loved nothing more than a good jog outside or basketball game during the daylight hours, or you, what with how you spent almost all hours hunting snax and running errands.
Oh, you poor dear, perhaps they had all been too hard on you without realizing it. Not just him, but the other grumpuses within Snaxburg. Having to lean on you to provide food, emotional support, requests, errands...
The least he could do was to partake in this little beach party, sunburn and potential spies from The Grumpinati be damned!
He watches with a smile as Chandlo gives you a piggy-back ride, the both of you laughing as you splash around, scaring the Crapples back into their nest. He quickly trots into the water, wading up to the both of you as you greet him.
"Ey, look who's joined the party!" Chandlo beamed.
A playful thought flits into Snorpy's head, and with a laugh, he reaches into the water and the splash soaks both of you, sea water soaking you and Chandlo through your clothes and fur.
Snorpy can't help the laugh that escapes him as the two of you splutter in disbelief.
"Aw, Snorp-dawg, not cool!" The amusement in Chandlo's voice betrays him, clearly showing that it was, in fact, cool.
"C'mon, Chandlo, we gotta get him back," You urged, smile wide and eyes crinkling. "Charrrrge!"
And with that, Snorpy takes off, water impeding him as Chandlo is hot on his heels.
By the time the sun is low in the sky, the three of you are tired and soggy, drying up on a blanket one of you had brought. You were laying in between them. Chandlo was finishing one of the many sandcastles you had decided to build. Every once in a while, his paw would drift near yours, flexing with the urge to hold it, before returning to his work.
Snorpy couldn't blame him. He was lying next to you, overwhelmed with the urge to wrap his arms around you and nuzzle close to you, but... He supposed both of them were far too nervous to confess. He chuckled internally. Wasn't that just like them...?
Snorpy allowed his eyes to close, maybe he could sneak in a quick nap before you had to leave, or before The Grumpinati's satellites were able to ping his location.
Before he let himself give in to unconsciousness, a thought entered his mind. The thought of anyone else doing this with you, being close to you, of someone (The Grumpinati) taking you away from him and Chandlo...
