Ohhh you ship Ringleader and Flametrap? Interesting! Ive never heard of that ship, how does that work? 👀
Yeah my irl friend got me shipping it after seeing the two in a comic somewhere.
They are both prideful fools and start off messing with eachother and mocking the other. They are both the leaders of their group, (Ringleader is the leader of Magician Mangle, Clowntrap, Woodland, and VR Toy Freddy. Flametrap is over the flaming animatronics.) which leads them to see eachother a lot for missions and meetings. So yeah they start out mostly as teasing Rivals, just trying to be better than the other. Eventually this leads to them going more out of their way to see eachother more often besides scheduled events which also turned their petty little rivalry into more of a chaotic friendship. The romantic Relationship was definitely more of a slow growing one, with Ringleader making the first move with grand romantic gestures and a few hundred flirts here and there. He definitely fell in love first pretty quickly while it took Flametrap a bit to realize what he was feeling for Ringleader was, in fact, love. Their chemistry is kinda like:
Loud, small, chaotic x Quiet, tall, chaotic
