lesbians who CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT

[froxyfroggo]

ok so you know how in ii and iii pretty much every character got like growth and/or a development or revelation thing? even characters like nickel, yinyang or goo? a lil part of me has been sad that trophy and salt never really got a satisfying character arc. and like i want trife and saltpepper to be a thing but i feel bad shipping them cos idk there’s missing parts those relationships never got. and i watched the barbie movie the other day and it gave me an idea.

(i’m not going to do anything much with this, just gonna leave it here.)

so like what if:

a month or so after the events of ii18, trophy and salt are both still repressing their gayness. at hotel OJ, all the residents watch a movie for movie night, and the movie that ends up being picked is barbie. while everyone else seems quite happy, once the barbies fight back and ken abandons the patriarchy, trophy leaves, annoyed at the movie’s “wasted potential” and “girl power crap”. nobody notices him leaving and he sits in his room alone eating cacao nibs. a part of him wishes he wasn’t alone in his room eating cacao nibs. 

salt leaves the movie too, annoyed that ken never got barbie even though “he loved her so much” and “obviously deserves her”. (she’s not projecting, pepper, why would you say that! ugh!) she goes up into her room. she, too, feels lonely that night.

seeing almost everyone else in romantic relationships and strong friendships and feeling lonely, combined with the need to reinforce that they’re not gay, means that salt ends up asking trophy out. when she does this, trophy thinks ‘what the hell’ and also ‘why is a girl asking me out isn’t it the guys who do that’ but he accepts, thinking this is what he wants. for the next few months they do typical couple stuff, like picnics, stargazing, dinners and movies. (side note they also played doom and trophy gave salt a quick tutorial and gave her a go in a “heh it’s alright if you don’t get it i’ve been playing this for ages” way. salt proceeds to absolutely thrash trophy and his ego takes a hit that afternoon.) they bond, and become really good friends, but both are repressing the feeling that there’s something missing (they don’t actually have a crush on each other.) 

sometime later, they’re having a movie night in salt’s bedroom, but they can’t decide what to watch. they go to a couple date movie picker and barbie shows up. they’re both thinking aw hell nah i hate this movie but neither says it because social norms and awkwardness idk. point is they watch barbie again. 

except this time, they kinda pay attention to the movie. they both realise they’re gay. trophy has a ‘wait… i’m kind of an asshole’ moment. and once the movie’s done there’s about 40 seconds of silence before one says what’s been on their mind. (hey um this is super awkward and i’m sorry to say this to you, you’re a great friend, and i want to keep that, but i’ve realised that uh i don’t have a crush on you. i think i like pepper/knife.) and the other goes omg same. and they have a lil chuckle. and so in the end trophy becomes a decent human being and apologises to the cast and says i was mean and i’m sorry. salt says sorry to OJ for all the stuff and explains that she was just jealous of the good relationship he had with paper. 

salt and trophy remain strong friends and still hang out every so often, trife and saltpepper end up together after valentine’s day and everything is rainbows and sunshine.

emphasis on rainbows.

Sylvia, please tell me the rumors aren't true Sylvia, it'd be such an honor to meet the real you Oh, I still get a little starstruck...

NEED SOMEONE TO LOVE ME THE SAME WAY SALTPEP LOVE EACH OTHER 🆘🆘🆘

saltpep would probably bottle up their feelings to the point where it was honest to god painful to be around each other and they'd slowly grow apart because of it.

and then they'd meet again in a couple... months? years? you take the pick for how long these two motherfuckers would function without each other, and then they'd have to spend time together again/work together and all those old, painful feelings are brought up to the surface. And they hurt, more than they did before because it's ignited ten times brighter after being pushed to the bottom for so long.

neither of them want to be there! they didn't want to see the other again! but here they are, and there's no way to avoid the elephant in the room and both of them just want it to go back to the way it was because even if it was painful at least they still talked. Now there's nothing to indicate that either of them had ever been friends in the first place and it's such a pivotal point of both of their lives that it's just.... oh fuck i fucked up bad isolating myself from you. They miss each other so much and :sob:

And then eventually on like, a drunken night, they just let everything out. they both pretend not to remember it in the morning but they both do and it fucking. hurts. i love making saltpep pine so much it hurts because it's so in character.

THESE LESBIANS. THEY ARE NOT OKAY. ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME DR WHITE. THESE LESBIANS ARE NOT OKAY.

yknow what sure lets talk about inanimate insanity. tell us more about salt and pepper

YAY! I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THEM!

I have analyzed these two so much, and they are really deeply interesting to me, and it's such a shame they're so overlooked by the majority of the fandom.

Interestingly enough, they work as both parallels and foils at the same time.

They are almost the same person at first glance. They like all the same things, talk the same way, act the same way.... etc. But it sort of begins to fall apart the closer you look.

Salt is boastful, bossy, overconfident, openly flirty... very sure of herself. In contrast, Pepper seems to take a back seat, though we aren't certain how willing that placement is. She comes off a lot more insecure, but we know she's quite possessive and jealous, and many believe her to be the "brains" behind the takeover in Alternate Reality Show, with Salt acting more as the... pretty face who took the credit. They are both filled with deep flaws and insecurities that will explode with too much pressure, but they are both trying, and i think both of them really do just want love and friendship, but they've got that nasty bratty way of going about it. They try. They absolutely try. But they're so quick to lose themselves once they gain an ounce of power.

Salt is more open about her power trip, but Pepper definitely seems a lot... sneakier. Take this clip from Alternate Reality Show:

[ID: Image 1: Salt stands holding her face, which is cracked from Pepper hitting her. Pepper stands in the background, angry. Image 2: Salt turns to Pepper. Captions- Salt: "- You've threatened me before." Image 3: Salt pointing at the camera, towards Pepper (off-screen) Captions- Salt: "But YOU don't have the GUTS!" Image 4: Pepper punching Salt in the face, shattering her face, breaking a tooth, and sending her backwards into the black hole (off-screen), killing her. Image 5: Pepper motioning towards where Salt had died. Captions- Pepper: "-Y-YOU ALL SAW! I TRIED TO SAVE HER, Image 6: Pepper (side view) Captions- Pepper: "but she had to go!" END ID]

This implies Pepper HAS made threats within the timeline of ARS, but Salt had largely ignored them, leaving Pepper's anger to fester for who knows how long. Eventually, pushed too far, Pepper snaps and kills her under pressure.

What's interesting about this is that Pepper still attempts to cover it up, even though everyone saw what she did. She claims she tried to save Salt, when she didn't. I like to think this is sort of two things- saving face in the public eye, for one, but also, this sort of... instinctual loyalty she has to Salt. She doesn't want to admit that she did something terrible to Salt, because for so long, they've been inseparable. Pepper was her ever-loyal-bestie.

... I definitely think Pepper's feelings towards Salt are something romantic. I think she loves Salt very much, but at the same time, resents her. Salt is either blissfully unaware or in sharp denial, and i see her as a closeted lesbian going through some nasty comphet. And i do have backing for this!

Salt really only cared about Pepper for the first bit of season 1. She was so devastated by Pepper's elimination that she wouldn't even move. OJ was simply the first person to have any real conversation with her after that.

You know how i said Pepper relies on Salt? Well, Salt relies on Pepper, too. Salt is an incredibly dependent, insecure person deep down, and i think she feels she needs SOMEONE to cling to. So when OJ spoke to her, she became attached very quickly, even though she didn't even really seem to like him when he first spoke to her.

I think OJ, widely viewed as this very normal, even, reasonable person was subconsciously viewed by Salt as a blank slate to project her feelings onto. I think she misdirected a lot of her feelings and they became these weird het fantasies where OJ was just the perfect ideal Guy for her to like, because that's what she knows to be correct. I think she'd tell you she's straight if you asked. I don't think that's true. And i think that Pepper resents Salt and OJ and everyone else and maybe herself for this stupid confusing mess.

Salt and Pepper are meant for each other. They'll inevitably tear each other apart. They're in love. They'd do anything for each other. Salt is taking her for granted. They would die for each other. Pepper is possessive. They'd sooner die than truly separate. They're going to ruin each other. They are perfect together. Salt will never admit it. Etc
