Welcome back to Tuesday! Today’s is…interesting since it’s not a rarepair. Surprisingly, today’s is Balloon x Nickel; commonly known as Nickloon (also one of mod’s favorite ships)
I was originally going to do some fanart of them too, but I got frustrated after Tumblr tried to hide a post on my main account, so I just gave up drawing it. Sorry gang.
Fun fact: they’re actually one of the first ships mod fell in love with when coming into the OSC (I joined when Well Rested from BFDIA came out on September 1st of 2023 and then watched Spring On the Breakfast before watching both shows, but I found out about it a little bit earlier when seeing an animation of Steve Cobs to the song The Fine Print by The Stupendium)
As for the ramble itself, Nickel and Balloon have already been shown as good friends after being enemies over the course of the seasons. However, what do they actually DO? I feel like after Suitcase winning season 2, Nickel became more clingy (clingier than he already was) to Balloon and now they kinda do everything together. Like, stuck together kind of together. Nickel has fallen asleep many times while listening to Balloon read him his poetry, but it’s only because he likes his voice so much! They definitely cook for one another despite BOTH of them sucking at it, but they’re sucking at it TOGETHER ❤️
Balloon has written many poems about Nickel but has claimed they’re about someone else, but Nickel knows they’re about him. In addition to Nickel’s clinginess, he’s also extremely jealous. Shocker I know. Whether it be mentions of Suitcase, or other coins, Nick is huffy about it. Nickel brings Balloon to concerts to make up for it though. He worked so hard making money from those scalped tickets, he has to treat Balloon sometimesss.
They’re also really cheesy and Balloon has DEFINITELYYYY convinced Nickel to wear matching colors. Balloon with his baggy sage hoodies and dark green sweaters, and Nickel with his salmon flannels and band shirts. They also probably half matching bracelets or jewelry of some kind courtesy of Balloon, as well as one matching piercing based on Nickel loving tattoos (he convinced Balloon eventually from his sad droopy eyes and loser personality /partial ref).
That’s all for today since I’m tired and have requests to finish. Hope you enjoyed the Nickloon fluff, and I’ll see you for the next one!
