@shy-nightmare thank you for being the first to send me an ask like this!
TW warning for some of the song lyrics being more... mature 😅 but when Greasy is involved, I guess thats expected huh?
1. Casual by Chappell Roan
SlashingDisneyPasta and I actually talked about an AU inspired by this song for Greasypop! About Greasy being her ex when they both were younger, and he ended up breaking things off with her when she started getting too attached to him (when things were starting to get more serious then rolls in the hay). And years later, when Greasy is part of the Toon Patrol and Poppy is no longer a budding horror actress, they run into each other and it opens old wounds 🥺 this song I would definitely say is from Poppy's perspective with the utter hound Greasy is. She wants so much more than just casual. And with how much of a sleaze Greasy acts, she can't stop herself from wondering whether or not he really wants her heart, or if he's just here for her body.
My friends call me a loser, 'cause I'm still hanging around
I've heard so many rumors, that I'm just a girl that you bang on your couch
I thought you thought of me better, someone you couldn't lose
You said, "We're not together" So now when we kiss, I have anger issues
You said, "Baby, no attachment", but we're...
Knee deep in the passenger seat, and you're eating me out, is it casual now?
Two weeks, and your mom invites me to her house on Long Beach, is it casual now?
2. Good Little Girl from Adventure Time
Idk if you've seen Adventure Time or not. But even if you haven't, the lyrics are pretty telling about the context; a 'bad boy' singing about the irony of a 'good girl' hanging out with him. Technically this could apply to all of Poppy's ships with the weasels (heck, the calm, smooth melody and pointing out that she shouldn't hang around him may fit better with Peezy?). But I just had to include this song.
Good little girl, always picking a fight with me
You know that I'm bad
But you're spending the night with me, what do you want from my world?
You're a good little girl
Bad little boy, that's what you're acting like
I really don't buy, that you're that kind of guy
And if you are, why do you want to hang out with me?
Also, not necessarily related to Greasypop, but here is the rap reprise to this song that I felt it was my duty to show you.
3. All Time Low by Jon Bellion
Kinda similar to Casual, I can see this being in the Bad End AU for Greasypop. You know, when Toon Patrol and Doom are trying to dip toon town and Greasy tries to keep Poppy in the dark woth classic affectionate manipulation? :) he overplayed his hand and now he's lost her forever.
I was the knight in shining armor in your movie
Would put your lips on mine and love the aftertaste
Now I'm a ghost, I call your name, you look right through me
You're the reason I'm alone and masturbate
I, I, I, I've been trying to fix my pride, but that shit's broken... That shit's broken
Lie, lie, lie, lie, la-lie, I try to hide, but now you know it
That I'm at an all-time low
A bonus song for you, since I've read your Weasel x Twyla content and I've noticed you tend to make them a bit more... Obsessive? 👀 well, a song for Greasypop if they were like that too, I would suggest One Way or Another, specifically by Until The Ribbon Breaks. Give it a listen, it definitely gives the lyrics a far more creepier edge then the original did.
I have been obsessed with Bistro Huddy for a couple days now, and I found this video and... I can't. I can't stop thinking about this with my Poppy ships. I had to write this crack XD
@just-kit-ink and @wicked1will0sparkles I have a feeling this'll get a chuckle out of you guys (for the sake of argument, let's say that Shiny and Poppy do work for the TP from time to time in this fic. Like... Poppy can offer them info about some of the Uptown toon she works with, and Shiny can do all kinds of crimes with them).
~
It was a rare, and almost frightening, sight to see the boss smiling. Not in an unnerving way, not in smug pride, but actual genuine joy from another person. It almost never happened. Which was why Greasy knew something had to be up between Smartass and Poppy when he saw the two laughing and drinking coffee side by side in the kitchen.
"Ohhhoho! You really said that??"
"Well 'yea, what else was I gonna say? You 'shoulda seen the look on his mug!" The weasel breathed out a few chuckles before he noticed the new presence and looked up, just in time to see his right hand man smirking at him knowingly. Rolling his eyes and shrugging, Smartass chose to just cut himself off, now that he and Poppy weren't alone anymore, "Alright, I'll tell 'ya what happened next later. Seeya at lunch."
It wasn't lost on Poppy that another person's presence did ruin the mood, but she didn't make any implication about that. She didn't want to hurt the Spaniards' feelings... That and work needed to be done anyway. So she just nodded, "Alright. I should get you the paperwork you need by ten, at the latest."
"Sounds good."
Poppy walked off with her mug and a smile, nodding and offering Greasy a cheery "Bonjour." As she passed him and slipped out the kitchen door. That left him the opportunity to smirk knowingly at his boss, who rolled his eyes in response, "Buen día."
"Shuddap, Grease."
Though 'shutting up' was not on Greasy's plans. Not after what he just witnessed. The weasel took his time grabbing his coffee cup from the cupboard and pouring himself some of the much needed caffeinated liquid, all while keeping eye contact with a Smartass who was ever-increasingly going back to his grumpy persona. This probably wasn't a good idea to poke the bear before he could finish his coffee... But hey, this was what happened when you chuck out the TV the night before, and there was nothing else to entertain your right hand man, "So, I see you and Poppy have a little something going on~"
Usually there would be a tapping foot- or a death glare- or a twitching hand and glancing towards the nearest object that would tell the taller weasel that there was indeed something happening between his boss and their sweet friend. However, Smartass must have been truly exhausted since he just huffed and went back to stirring his coffee, "There ain't 'nothin going on. That's just how a work marriage is
The ear-to-ear grin on Greasy's face fell instantly after that, and looked like his brain was shutting down from attempting to process what Smartass just said. As if he claimed that Bugs Bunny was actually a crcodile, "A... A Work marriage?"
"What?? You 'nevah heard of it??" The hint of jealousy in Greasy's eyes seemed to be lost on the head weasel. He looked more surprised at the thought of him not being aware of the special relationship one could have with their coworkers, "Well I ain't explainin' it-"
"Ohhh no, I know what a work wife is. Because that is what Poppy is to me."
The sip that Smartass had attempted to drink almost got coughed up onto his suit. The pink weasel actually had to set the cup down before he glowrred at the other toon. There was absolutely no way his ears were working right. At least Greasy better hope they weren't, "Excuse you??"
Instead of being intimidated, Greasy just crossed his arms and seemed to take on the challenge instead, "You heard me, boss. If she's work married to anybody in this house, it's me."
"Oh no. Uh-uh bub. She's work married t'me."
"No, Poppy is my work wife."
The two weasels whipped their heads towards the doorway, looking at a just woken, disheveled, feral looking Psycho staring at them like they were the insane ones. And he was sending Greasy in particular a glare that could make any iron-willed man feel weak in the bladder, "You already have Shiny. You can't have Poppy too."
At that, Smartass immediately turned back towards Greasy with his fists on his hips, "Oh! You got that lunatic, but you're over here movin' in on my work gal??"
"MY work wife! Get your own!"
"And who's to say I must limit myself to one beautiful woman, eh?" Greasy glanced between his comrades with a hand to his chest, like he wasn't just getting on Smartass' case for being work married to Poppy, "How is that fair?"
"How is tha- BOY-"
"Actually, I'm Poppy's work husband too."
"WHAT!?"All three looked straight at the smoker, now standing in the doorway and looking like he just made the biggest mistake in his life. Why he thought it was a good idea to say that out loud, who knows. But the smoker just groaned and walked further in the kitchen to grab an apple from the fruit bowl, with Stupid following after him.
"Duh, what's happening here?"
Seeing the big lug of a weasel come in all confused made Greasy and Smartass narrow their eyes at him in suspicion. Psycho on the other hand was too busy growling at an unphased Wheezy, "Estúpido, you better not say you're Poppy's work husband too."
Stupid blinked at his brother and coworker for a moment, before his eyes lit up once he caught up with the topic of discussion, "Huh? Noooo, we're not work married!"
"Good. I don't need'ta deal with yo-"
"She's my work mom!"
The whole room fell silent. Smartass and Greasy glanced to each other before looking at the oblivious Stupid, and even Psycho had paused his confrontation with Wheezy- who was now burying his face in his free hand, "Stu, don't-"
"And Wheezy is my work dad!" The buck toothed toon proclaimed happily as he pointed to the internally dying Wheezy, still blissfully unaware of the tension in the room, "He and Poppy work adopted me! We even got ice cream yesterday!"
...
At that moment, without even looking up from his paw, Wheezy knew his smokes would not be enough emotional support to face these ridiculous weasels, "Ok, guys-"
"YOU STARTED A WORK FAMILY WITH POPPY!?"
"¡Destructor de hogares!"
"Is there ANYBODY in this house NOT puttin' the work moves on her!?"
"I'm not, boss!"
"SHUT UP!"
Breakfast and coffee were on no ones mind now. The entire kitchen was quickly filled with screaming, threats, and proclamations of betrayal. Poor Stupid could only stand there, glancing to his work dad and pleading with his eyes for an answer of what to do. Though all Wheezy would do was suck in as much toxic smoke as he could while he still had the chance. Before Smartass could throw the toaster, or Psycho could pounce on somebody.
The only thing that could break up the whole room was the very rabbit of discussion when she poked her head inside in concern. Her eyes pinned down against her head and her eyes were wide as they darted to each individual in the room, "Uh, g-guys? Is everything-"
"Get outta here while you still can, Pops."
"What do you-"
She just barely managed to contain her shriek when suddenly all four pairs of eyes locked onto her, making her stand straight up at attention. The moment to escape was long gone now, "Guys...?"
A long silence hung in the air as the first three weasels all looked at each other, as if agreeing upon something, then looked right back at Poppy. Stupid scratched under his propeller hat in confusion, and Wheezy closed his eyes to fully enjoy the silence before it would be undoubtedly ruined again.
---
"What on Earth- What are you guys talking about?"
Having taken this out to the living room, Poppy was seated on the couch and resisted rubbing her temples. The papers she was working on for Smartass were currently strewn about the coffee table, but all she could focus on were the weasels surrounding her. Wheezy was sitting on her left, not at all wanting to be here either. Smartass was sitting straight up in his own chair, tapping his foot with his arms crossed. Greasy had been trying to sit on Poppy's right, though he kept getting driven off by Psycho who was standing by the couch like a gargoyle. And Stupid was busy getting himself a bowl of cereal in the kitchen now that it wasn't crowded anymore.
If Poppy had been told she was going to be in the middle of a work love triangle- or rectangle in this case- with four of Toontowns biggest criminals four years ago, she would have laughed it off as a joke.
"I don't know how we can make it any clearer, but fine." Smartass huffed out as he leaned forward, almost looking like he was in the middle of one of his business meetings, "These nimrods think you're their work wife. We gotta clear it all up, like usual."
"Smarty-"
"Poppy, it's alright. I know this is all a terrible misunderstanding." Greasy still hadn't managed to slip past Psycho, so he chose to kneel in front of her and take her paw in his hands all dramatic like. He looked like the love interest in one of his novelas, and Poppy just looked so tired, "Just tell these putas that you, Shiny, and I are exclusive. Then we can get back to normal, si?"
"Listen-"
Poppy was once again interrupted, but this time by Psycho as he hopped over the couch just to smack at Greasy's face and hiss like a territorial housecat. The second in command managed to jumo back in time, but that didn't make the lunatic back off, "¿¡Qué carajo!?"
"You go be 'exclusive' with Shiny!"
"Yeah, you shouldn't even be here!"
While the three spiraled into yet another argument, Poppy heaved out a defeated sigh before looking towards the only sane one right now. Their eyes met and, like always, they shared a silent moment of pity and understanding for the other, "Help me."
Although he truly felt sorry for his work wife, and wanted nothing more than to escape this madhouse, there really was nothing Wheezy could do for either of them. All Poppy had to see was his slumped shoulders to know what he was going to say, "I tried, Poppy. You know how they get."
The toon groaned as she gave in and leaned back on the couch to rest her head on the back. Her headache growing with each curse word flung around. Why couldn't these guys just... The bond formed within a stressful and emotionally draining work environment knew no bounds. It couldn't just be contained to one individual. Why couldn't these jerks see that??
Well, at least Wheezy understood it. And Greasy, to an extent... Maybe it was more of a pride thing between him, Psycho and Smartass. If that was the case, then she could get this fixed no prob-
"Alright then. How about a fight?"
Blinking back into the present, and getting over the jarring sudden silence that befell the living room, Poppy turned her head far back enough to see the source of the familiar voice; Shiny standing in the middle of the open front door, with what looked like a crate of her homebrewed alcohol tucked under her arm. The arguing must have been loud enough to cover Shiny coming inside. But either way, her announcing her presence caused the three weasels to actually pause in their bickering, "You guys heard what I said."
Oh god no, "I- Shiny, I don't think that- we don't want that to happen."
The weasel lady just shrugged as she kicked the door closed behind her, taking turns to look each and every one of them in the eye- including Psycho, despite the probability of him taking that as a challenge in the mood he was in now being high. She didn't even bother trying to hide her smirk while placing the moonshine on the nearest syrface as she reiterated, "If you guys want her to choose, why not prove your worthiness and fight for her?
"Shiny, for the love of God, no." Wheezy stated in a firm voice he didn't often use. Glancing to his team, he could see the gears turning in Psycho's and Greasy's heads as they briefly shared a look. Fortunately, though, Smartass at least was currently stuttering out a response in disbelief. Hopefully, that meant the boss' sanity was coming back.
"Too late, Cowboy."
"No! No, not too late! Guys!-"
"You know what?!" Finally. Smartass was being the leader he should have been from the start. Standing up and pointing a finger at the mischievous woman, who just raised an amused brow right back at him, he snapped, "You don't get to come in here and-"
Though he was too late. The time for actual sense in this house had passed. That was made obvious when Smartass was sent flying over his chair and across the room. After a straightjacket clad weasel launched himself right at him. Psycho' battle screech and Smartass' cursing and gun clicking filled the room, and all Greasy did was pull out his switchblade and started cleaning it; preparing himself for war.
Although his expression remained partially neutral, his shaking hands while he lit up his whole pack and jumped right out of his seat showed how absolutely done he was. He wasn't going to bother trying to pull those maniacs away from each other. Not when he didn't even want to make a big deal out of this in the first place, "I'm out."
"PSYCHO NO!" While Wheezy was walking away from the others, Poppy leaped up to her feet with intentions of trying to break up the fight. Though before she could take a step towards the brawl, she was stopped when Shiny placed her well manicured paw on her shoulder. Looking behind her, Poppy watched her shake her head, silently telling her 'it's not worth it, honey', "Shiny!-"
"Let them get it out of their system. They clearly need it, sugar." The woman casually shrugged. The tiny smirk on her lips, though, showed she had more selfish reasons for starting this between them... And that she wasn't going to even try to hide it, "Besides, it's funny how easy they all are. Isn't it?"
"N-No! I can't let my work marriages fall apart!"
"Oh, please. This'll get through to them better than 'sitting down and talking it out' ever would. And you know it." Shiny sighed- not as dramatically as Greasy was renowned for, but there was a hint of drama behind it- before wrapping her arms around the rabbits shoulders and pulling her around and close, making Poppy completely face her now. Good thing, too. As the pencil holder that flew behind Poppy would have hit her in the eye otherwise. Even though Poppy was upset, the look of worry and slight anger towards her was absolutely adorable, and only made Shiny's grin broaden, "Besides, it doesn't really matter in the end. Does it?"
The tiny frown on Poppy's face faltered at that. Though not because she was comprehending how close her best friend was now, "How?"
"'Cause you and I both know that out of everybody here, I'm your true work spouse."
"Oh my god-"
"Hey! I didn't say anything about being the only one! I'm just saying that I'm the matriarch of your little work harem~"
...
Somehow, despite her soured mood, despite the waging three-way war happening just mere feet from them, Shiny still managed to get a smile, and even a little chuckle, out of her. Shaking her head, Poppy decided in that moment to just press her forehead against her favorite lady's crown, and enjoy this tiny moment between them while it could last, "You're terrible."
~
Not paying any mind to the sounds of agony from the three men, or the crashing and breaking of wood, or Smartass' "WHERE'D PSYCHO GET THE LAWN CHAIR!?!?", the dancer just touched noses with her little rabbit and giggled alongside her, "I know~"
While the girls were distracted, Stupid poked his head out of the kitchen doorway to see what was causing so much of a rucus. Crumbs of ceral still unwiped from his lips, "What's going-"
One look at the three feral weasels, a mising Wheezy, and Poppy and Shiny completely forgetting the world around them, Stupid had made probably the smartest decision he ever hsad made in his life at that moment. He quickly and quietly slipped back in the kitchen to finish his food, "Nevermind!"
This got a little genuine Popshine'y at the end of the crack. I don't regret it XD
Poppy's S/O, no matter what ship, could carry her spare pairs of reading glasses for her in case she loses or breaks hers (she's careful, but she does live in slapstick filled Toontown). Poppy appreciates it very much ^^
//Okay so after all your Francophone Poppy headcanons, I need you to stop what you're doing and listen to this beautiful song! It's so Poppy and her ships! https://youtu.be/FsWewKIEZ9Q?si=GpI5n0-p2qBu0mD1
THIS SONG- THIS SONG.... NERDGIRL WHY DO YOU GO THIS HARD ON ME ALL THE TIME???
@wicked1will0sparkles when you can, you have to listen to this song. Trust me.
This!!! This this this this this!!! Yes! This absolutely goes with Poppy's ships! Especially with the weasels. Especially in the canon ending for- well, any of them. Why?
These lyrics: Yes, I want to stay, but I can no longer love~ I've been too stupid~ please stop~ stop~ how much I regret~ no, I didn't want all this. That would sum up Poppy's feelings and thoughts when she found out that they were going to dip Toontown. She doesn't want to leave the one she loves, but she can't be with someone who is going to destroy everything. She's already been with someone who took everything she loved. She will not go through that again. She'd try to stop him at first, knock some sense into her man, and if need be give him the ultimatum; stop doing this horrible thing, or she will leave.
And, as the canon ending of the movie, we all know how that story would end :(
Smartass flirting with Poppy: Hey Baby Doll, should I tell the Big Guy upstairs dat one of his angels is missin'?
Greasy flirting with Poppy: Eeeeyyy baby, let's skip dis place and chu come back to my place for a game of pop goes de weasel?
Ahhh!!! Flirting for Poppy! This oughta be good XD
~
Poppy jumped a little and looked at the weasel in bafflment, her eyes wide and cheeks turning as pink as the suit she was hemming for him right now. Did she hear him correctly??? Did... Did Smartass Weasel, the leader of the dreaded Toon Patrol, flirt with her???? Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
Oh gosh... Ok, keep calm. Just focus on your task. He probably didn't mean anything by it. Why would he of all people be genuinely flirting with someone like her?
"O-Oh, monsieur, you're too kind." She tried to get out with a flustered nervous smile and focus back on her job. Though the smirk on his face was very distracting, "Now um... Y-You said you wanted a suit that's a dark magenta, oui?"
~
Oh no. The one time she took her coworkers invitation to go out after work, and a stranger flirts with- Wait, that was Greasy Weasel!?!? What was he- Oh god, she had his attention now. What was she supposed to do???? Look away? No, he had a reputation for ignoring those signs. Oh god, he's leaning in closer now. Say something!
"G-Game?! Oh, but I'm here with friends! I-It'd be rude of me to leave them behind! Haha..." Poppy tried to smile politely at the renowned pervert while also simultaneously scoot her stool away from Greasy. Her coworkers had gone off to do their own thing around the bar, so she was on her own with this one, "B-But that's a very kind offer, sir... The band is playing quite a tune tonight, aren't they??"
(I wanted these flirts to be around the first time they met each other, so Poppy is more anxious XD but even afterwards, Pops would get flustered and maybe try to flirt back if they had a relationship)
//Ok I am very intrigued with a GreasyPop dynamic now 😂 I dread to think how that relationship starts (unless it's cuter than I pictured)
Omg! I have an excuse to talk about one of my ships! :D
Ok ok ok. I had to put this under read more because, surprisingly, this ship has given me plenty of thoughts.
Ok so. I have a kinda nsfw idea on how it started. Not too bad, just an idea slashingdisneypasta and I talked about. Basically, they both had a very bad day, they're worn and exhausted and just need somebody. None of the other team members can give them the comfort they need for various reasons, but Poppy and Greasy share a desire for intimacy (Greasy's idea of intimacy is more provocative, but still). So, at the end of the night, they agree that, at least for tonight, they'll take care of each other.
It starts off purely as a friends with benefits sort of thing. But eventually, over a few bonding moments that show the other how much they get along and have in common, they find themselves falling in love with each other. The final moment was Greasy and Poppy cooking together. They're both laughing, chatting away while helping each other prepare dinner. And Greasy is just being him. No perving or anything. Just him. And Poppy is completely relaxed and worry free, in her element with her friend.
I'm curious now. How did YOU think they got into a relationship? I really want to know XD
Oh! Here are some random tidbits for Greasypop too ^^
Poppy likes wearing Greasy's jacket (totally not me projecting onto Poppy. It looks comfy! Ok?). It becomes a comfort thing for her. She loves it when Greasy lets her wear it, or just gives it to her (like it's too cold while they're out on a date and Greasy does that classic 'puts jacket on date' trick). Sometimes, after a ~night~ and for whatever reason Poppy needs to leave the bed but can't find her clothes, she'll just grab his jacket to cover herself.
Greasy doesn't know it probably, but Poppy is saving money for a vacation to Puerto Rico for him. Especially if toons are born and not made, and that was his P.O.B. she plans for it to be an anniversary surprise in the future.
Greasy is so so affectionate with Poppy. I mean, he'd be like that with his S/O in general. But Poppy? She gets all giggly and heart eyed so easily; Greasy would absolutely love that. He'll sneak up on her and start kissing her when she least expects it. He'll call her all kinds of sweet nicknames. And I headcannon Greasy plays the guitar, so he'd definitely play for her, etc.
Thank you so much for asking about them! I enjoyed this ask a lot ^^
Besides, since she doesn't have as high a drive as Greasy, this is the best way he can vent himself.
If Greasy ever complimented Poppy's physical appearance/features (I.E calling her pretty, or express any desire for her), I don't think she'd really take it seriously.
Even if she didn't know him personally, Grease has probably made a name for himself around Toontown with chasing women, so she'd probably still would have heard of his perverse nature. As such, Poppy would take any nice things he said of her with a grain of salt; just assume he was just looking for somebody and she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Though if they did get closer, she would start to warm up to his words. Even if his words are still reddening, she knows he genuinely means it and doesn't just want to get in her pants.
//Now I'm just thinking of Greasy strategically letting his hands fall on Poppy's hips with awkward silence before a sly "Forgive me."
Oh my god... Yes, this has happened between them and will happen again.
I'm just imagining Poppy got caught in the morning hustle and bustle of the weasel household. Like she came over early to drop off some new breakfast recipe she decided to try or something, but she got stuck in the house while everyone is running around getting ready for their work day, and she's trying to stay out of everyone's way. Then Poppy accidentally bumps into Greasy, and his hands happen to land on her hips (whether it was genuinely unintentional on his part or Greasy planned for this, idk). And now Poppy feels so flustered and awkward, and Greasy is enjoying this way too much 😅
