Have a lizanon: do Bebop & Rocksteady exchange gifts? If so, what kinds? @onboardsaltedcaramel

They do exchange gifts among each other, yes. Usually things they see along the way and pick up on the go. And they do it a lot, too. 'Hey look, I mugged this guitar for you from that fancy-ass music shop!!'. Or you know, guns, knives, first-edition comics, signed records, or lots and lots of food and booze. Because nothing is cooler than a gift the other went out of their way to steal for you, right?

It will never stop being funny to me that personality-wise, you'd think Bebop is the one who's easier to be around. You know, being the party-dude, wanting fun and stuff... but you may rather try to hang out with Rocksteady. As long as he's not pissed, that's it. Bebop is just extremely unpredictable. While he can be chill and fun at one moment, he may turn extremely hostile and violent the next. I mean, he is more fun all around for sure, but yeah.

Never forget that both of them are violence-loving morons in their default IDW-oriented verse here and embrace being monsters tho. I personally wanna try to keep that more in mind myself tbh. There are always exceptions depending on the verse or canon-point of course, but if nothing is specified in that regard, that's what you get.

They're really not very friendly to someone they don't know, but they DO vibe with people they grow to admire and respect. They also backpedal like they're at the Olympics if they realize the other is stronger than them. For example here, @countlessrealities 's Morty gets a pass because they see he's allowed to hang around the Technodrome by their boss and he's getting pushed around a lot like the two of them. So he's just another underdog in their eyes.

Generally, if your muse isn't on a somewhat chill level already with the Technodrome crew in one way or another but you want to have more... chill versions of Bebop & Rocksteady reply your messages and stuff? You may either pick their 2012 versions (since I rp them post series where they give up being villains) or Mutant Mayhem, since I rp them post movie by default.

(Boops Bepop’s snout) (4 the reaction meme)

[🎸]  Bebop stares the grey figure down with a look that could kill. There are only few living beings allowed to casually boop his snout like that. A complete stranger definitely doesn't count to these few.

"Yo, laserlips! Try that again an' I break your twiggy pointer into pinky size!"

Rocksteady is very much the definition of 'still waters run deep'. Superficially, he's not as chatty and social as Bebop, but his emotions turn up on a very intense level once they do surface. Bebop may appear to be the 'friendlier' out of the two because of his more outgoing nature, but (especially when on his own), Rocksteady is actually easier to have around. That is, if one doesn't just piss him off right away. Overall, he is surprisingly sensitive. When Bebop & Rocksteady were turned back into humans temporarily, it was actually Rocksteady who managed to get a job and keep it (even tho he failed miserably a lot too before he got it). He's the one more capable of being somewhat responsible and down-to-earth when one just lets him do his thing. Bebop is very much the one with the pure chaotic energy within the duo. So, when he's on his own, Rocksteady is more reasonable than Bebop when dealing with others. But still, he is very dangerous when he gets angry and he craves violence just as much as his bestie does, so I still wouldn't go as far as to call him a gentle giant. But well, he is certainly the one more capable of getting somewhat close to that status, depending the situation he finds himself in.

[💜] Oo, Ophelia loved birthdays— any excuse for sweets and treats! Sp when she heard from a lil’ birdy (or uh … a big warthog) that it was a certain someone’s birthday today, well … our ghoulish gal just had to do something about that! “Happy Birthday, big guy ♡ ~!” Sure, sure— maybe she didn’t know him all too well (or at all) but nonetheless: a small, wrapped gift box COVERED in GLITTER was handed over. Inside were two stuffed plushes! A baby rhino and a baby warthog with two matching bows, of course. @outofthiisworld

[🔨]   Rocksteady is surprised. Flabbergasted, even. Not just that he's not very communicative about his Birthday to begin with, but he's not even sure who this gal is. Is she a friend of Bebop? Or his boss, maybe? Why would she know about his Birthday?! Unsure what even to say, he takes the offered gift with a confused snort and turns it around between his big hands. He even shakes it, holding it close to his ears as he does. Similar to Bebop, his hearing is much better than his sight. But, he can't really make out what's inside this box. There's only a nondescript faint sound. Cloth, maybe?

Finally, curiosity getting the better of him, he proceeds to open the box. He easily tears paper and carton apart like it's candyfloss to reveal its content. The plushies roll on the floor with very soft THUDS. He blinks at this sight, even more bamboozled now. What is he supposed to do with these? What even should he say?

"Uhh... thanks?" He scratches his head awkwardly before picking the plushies up from the ground, holding them like a big confused child with toys it didn't ask for but very much enjoys anyway.

"I, uh... y-youse want a beer or somethin'?"

"Hey, psst! Today is Rocksteady's birthday! You losers better go and gratulate him or I kick your dumb butts into next week!"

[technodromes]

[🎸] "HUH, what's that?! Meat shield? As IF!! Yeah, my an' Rock's healing is solid an' gunshots only tickle us, so what?! Doesn't mean we gonna tank 'em for just anybody, man! You just go home an' hide in your momma's tits if you can't handle the bullets, sucker!"
