MOTH! How would each character currently revealed in LCS act as a lover?

*slams binder on table* FINALLY MY IDEAS CAN BE SHARED

(I would like to make it clear that while me and Tay have these personalities for them, we are more than happy to see the matchings y'all come up with and y'all have free range with ships as long as they're not illegal)

Bendy: So Bendy is a pretty complex character honestly, mostly due to some not so nice experiences with other toons throughout his life (as well as his parents kind of scaring him into not trusting other toons). Due to this Bends has pretty much cut himself off of romance for the time being and if he were in a relationship now it would be quite the power complications. I will say, his past lovers would almost all describe him as sickingly sweet with a keen eye to their interest, often to the point he'd know their mood or likes before they did.

Boris: Boris is a tough one. Honestly, in a relationship he'd have some priority troubles due to his attachment with his brother (and having to be the peacekeeper to Bendy's anger). If he managed to find someone who was even remotely alright with that, he'd be a gentle giant of a sweetheart to them. He's more of an "actions speak louder than words" kind of guy so while he may not say much, it'd be clear he loves you.

Cuphead: Oh boy, Cuphead is an odd one for sure. Cup tends to have some issues with allowing his guard to come down as well as believing he deserves something as nice as love. All that said, he'd be a tad overprotective over whoever he does end up with, especially if they show they have the trust in him to step back and let him handle things (and even vice versa where they show he can trust them). I like to imagine he'd be a clingy goober once he realizes his lover WANTS to be with him and isn't just there for pity reasons. (He also sucks at flirting and picking up on advances so good fucking luck to whoever asks him out)

Mugman: Oh mugsy. He has a bit of a, how to put it...expectation issue? Mugs was nerdy as a kid and so he was always the second pick to his brother, sometimes even being skipped over completely. This cycle is what lead him to start reading romance novels and with the romance novels came some semi unrealistic expectations for what a lover should do and be like. He's had an ex or two but it never went well due to this. With Mugsy I feel like he'd need someone who is patient enough to politely explain why his expectations aren't realistic to real life. On the other hand, Mugs is a lover boy through and through, he's the type to shower you with any gift you want no matter the price or time. He'd bring you a rock from a meteor if you so much as mentioned you like it.

Tom: Tom is pretty straight forward. He's the kind of guy to be quiet and semi cold outside but will sneak hand squeezes and even hold pinkies when no one is looking. He's mostly affectionate when at home because he believes its something no one else needs to see and that he'd rather just quietly be around his person instead of extravagant giant declarations of love in the middle of town.

Allison: Allison is somewhat similar to Tom in that she doesn't care for PDA, although she's more willing to share a kiss or hold hands around others. She's the type to lovingly be mean to her partner but also be the hug they need when something is bothering them. She's highly attentive to her lover due to being so good at reading others, especially those in pain.

Oh, and one more thing.

Allison and Tom are married. KAY BYYYYYYYEEEE

My OG babygirl's been on the brain again lately....god I love love LOVEEE when he giggles like this, and then I thought abt Phantom having one of those high pitched closed-mouth giggles. Like "HEHEHehmhmhm~" I'M GOING TO DIE I LOVE MY HUSBAND SO FUCKING MUCH HE IS EVERYTHING TO MEEEEE

[mommy-moth]

Oh how I love forcing my friends to decode riddles to try and figure out the other 5 canon ships in LCS.

We've seen Nixs horror skills at work. How worried should we be about your horror work-

TW: I dont even know what to label it as. Gore maybe? I'm an insane writer? Idfk

Depends.

Have you ever read an in depth explanation on the textures, smells, and sights of picking up a person who was burned to death and then having their skin so charred that it clings to your hand and peels off their body when you try to check them? No? Hm.

OO! Or have you ever read the deep description of a psychosis episode taking place and while the person is thinking they're simply gathering and washing berries they're actually drowning someone? Also no? Damn.

My AO3 is getting revised soon as I start doing my short stories again

[mommy-moth]

What do you and Nix have in place if the Dandy's World controversy ends up being true? Do you two plan to change anything in LCS if it happens to be something Qwel did do?

Honestly, we're gonna stick with our story until something truthful comes of the situation. With cases like this one its really hard to know whos right and whos wrong because a lot of people like to make up things that they believe to be true, regardless of fact or reason.

The rant below is not directed at this asks in particular, but more just in general.

As of right now, the situation is simply pending. Should it come to a negative result, me and Tay will alter the line of events as we see fit to allow our story to remain how we'd like without being associated or tied to anything bad. What I want to make clear is that me and Tay are not the type to jump to conclusions without hearing everything beforehand. While I would love if it was all easily black and white answers, its not. The world we live in is not one of good and evil, its much much MUCH more complicated than simply pointing a finger and saying "you're a bad/good person".

Too many times and too many instances there have been cases of someone accusing, or not accusing, another person of a bad deed and then the accused is put into a spot they never truly belonged in.

Regardless of what the verdict and truth turns out to be, me and Tay will adjust as we see needed, but until EVERY fact is revealed and EVERY fact is given to us by a source that isn't just "oh I say this is fact because this is what I think", then our story remains unchanged. Depending on the verdict of this whole situation, we may either support Qwel or we may step away from them, but until we know for absolute certain that every fact is shown to us and WE can make an educated choice BY OURSELVES about OUR opinions, then nothing is changing.

I will also make it known right here and right now that regardless of outcome, if anyone in the future tries to pressure, harass, or be violent towards me, Tay, or anyone we are close with about why we do what we choose to do, you will no longer be welcome onto our pages and you WILL be reported and called out for such behavior. Our pages are ones of fact, truth, and educated decisions, NOT ones made on solely emotion or peer pressure. We are adults who are more than happy to have civilized, fact based discussions about whatever you may oppose and we may even have our eyes opened to different realities, but the second that it turns into insults, threats, and anything that is not simply continuing the discussion, your points are no longer valid and you WILL be treated as an emotional harasser, NOT as a person who we are willing to speak with.

I just want it to be very clear that me and Tay have absolutely ZERO tolerance for people who switch to harm simply because they have no real argument, regardless of it its related to the DW drama or not. A discussion is meant to be a civilized, two sided conversation where BOTH parties speak, AND LISTEN, to the facts being placed on the table.

Lastly, we will update you guys whenever the time comes that we do have all the facts and can make a real decision. Regardless of outcome, we ask that our choices be respected. You may disagree, you may even chat with us about it, but we will never allow harassment of any kind towards us or our followers.

Anywho, now that I've made my point clear, we may return to our regularly scheduled events! I have a few drawings planned for you guys and your request, so hang tight for those!

As much as Kaboodle and Squeaky are CLEARLY flirting with each other, Squeaky loves to dangle things above his head which leads Kaboodle to fire a string of creative insults their way, that in any other case would lead someone to think these two are bitter rivals.

But no, Squeaky loves hearing his ~flowery~ language towards them and only eggs him on. Nevermind the fact Kaboodle is weak for them being so much larger and teasing him...nevermind all that ;]

[mommy-moth]

Are there any ships that you and Tay don't personally ship for LCS? Just asking cause a lot of AUs like to include Bendystraw/BlueInk and Mugmutt/PupCup.

So as far as shipping goes in general, the only one me and Tay look at and kinda go "ooooo that wont go well" is Dandy x Sprout or Dandy x Vee simply because of how they both see Dandy and how it would be very toxic very fast.

As for LCS on the other hand, we kinda look at Bendy and just go "yeah you dont need to be in a relationship" (Despite Tay trying to make Nix and Bendy exes/lovers/married/whatever it is). We originally were just going to have Bendy kinda flirty with everyone equally but then the asks got sent in and Bendy was immediately pushed out of "nice" mode but its kind of working in our favor. Now this isn't to say whether or not you can ship him with others, we just kindly ask that any readers keep in mind his sort of disdain for people not from Drewstrow as well as his tendency to be a little.....extreme. I guess what im saying is bitch needs therapy before he goes dating anybody if you dont want it to be toxic as hell.

Funny enough me and Tay both ship Bendystraw and Mugmutt as well as a large plethora of other ships. We simply decided non romance was best for this au (I tried guys, I tried so hard to get Tay to at least let me make Bendy flirt towards Cup but the most she let me have was making Cup answer "if you're not a guy and under 5"10 then no thanks" to an ask). Sadly, any bendystraw or mugmutt or other ships y'all want to see will have to be sent in as an ask here and I can try to draw or write about it.

Yall still have 1/3 canon ships discovered btw
