#Polycule of Doom™

[ccstiles]

So a quick update on what I got going on in the crack ship roster:

Warren x Bodie (current WIP)

Jean x Arrigo (not yet started but ideas have been put down)

What I'll be referring to as the Polycule of Doom (Ashley x Thad, Dennys x Lexi, Dennys x Lena, Dennys x Lena x Lexi, all put onto one sheet of paper:])

And, unexpectedly (and most recent):

Escaped x Redacted (...one sided beef enemies to lovers, that's all I got)

Btw for those who don't know, Escape has one sided beef with Redacted that is absolutely hilarious

Redacted is Escape's rival and he doesn't even know who Escaped is lmao.

Also there currently isn't any planned main character romance in the story with the toy guys (sort of) but I was thinking abt how I wanted to establish that Raiden is a men liker and I realized. There's no men. None of the relevant cast are men. The closest thing is a character who barely exists in the main plot who's also sort of dating their mom. Misandry is real guys and it's finally won

I need a polycule who are all equally doomed by The Prophecy™ and the consequences of this

[vaultofcobaltandjade]

You know, since Braius is still a pretty new character and I haven't seen any of his ship names really finalized yet, I propose that any poly ships with him should be "Doom of [the existing ship name of the other characters in the polycule]." Just because it sounds metal as hell

So like Braius/Orym/Dorian becomes "Doom of Dorym." Or Braius/Fearne/Chetney becomes "Doom of Callowpea." Or Braius/Ashton/Essek/Caleb becomes "Doom of Shadowidomoore."

("Seed of [existing ship name]" would also work and have much more potential for innuendo of course, but I enjoy the Cool Fantasy-esque Factor™ with "Doom of...")

[chewydolls]

QSMP x Ever After High characters that remind me of them

Quackity x Duchess Swann

Bitchy ™

Quackity/ElQ and White Swan/Black Swan parallels

Yearning for romantic love

Resented guys who think they were doomed from the start to be unlovable, cursed to stay at the sideline watching with jealousy as their peers get the happy ending they could never hope to achieve

They actually have the means to take agency over their fate, but this requires some healing and introspection that the respective villains from their worlds are direct or indirectly preventing them from doing

Still, happiness most likely won't come in the way they fantasize bout

Feathers? Birbs??? Idk

Jaiden x Briar Beauty

They're both associated with roses

Their arcs are shaped by grief: in Briar's case the certainty of outliving all her friends makes her mourn the life she knows while they're still alive; and Jaiden was deeply shaken by Bobby's death

That doesn't stop them from aligning themselves with the very oppresive organization that stood by and let the tragedy happen, but:

a) They are hurt and going with what is familiar to them

b) They will be chaotic af about it

Agent of chaos aligning with Order can you picture that

They're bffs with figures that uphold the status quo, to varying degrees of how much power they actually have in the grand scheme of things (Cucurucho and Apple)

Isolation is a big theme in the Sleeping Beauty story, and that resonates a lot with Jaiden's arc and how she got close to Cucurucho at her lowest point vs how Briar tries to stay loyal to the Royals even when it hurts her and her closest friends, because Apple is her bestie and was always there for her

Roier x Briar Beauty (again)

A mimir

The whole Animations family is very Briar-coded, actually

Everything I said about Briar's grief works for him, especially the part of mourning people who are still alive bc the threat of being the last person standing weights over them

Just... the concept of being the last person alive as your kingdom is ruined and the vines break the beautiful stained glass of your castle and your bed is covered in thorns ✨️

"Living in fear is not living" vs "If I'm gonna sleep for a hundred years, I've got to live it up now!"

They're so good at keeping a "silly guy" act that few people can tell when they're actually sad

Outgoing and charismatic personality but still end up feeling isolated

Special little guy shipped with the confrontational, off-putting little freak (Spiderbit, Briar/Faybelle)

Pac x Blondie Lockes

I'll give it to you they're not that similar but:

Chisme? Gossip?? Fofoca???

Pros at breaking and entering

Drawn to scary creatures with sharp teeth

Cellbit x Alistair Wonderland

You thought I was gonna pair him with Raven, right? Wrong!

Men only know how to do 3 things: solve puzzles, play chess and be absolutely smitten for their partners

Came to the island/eah by accident and immediately got in the nerves of the authorities

Both were abandoned in a dangerous land by the people who later became their found family (not his friends fault, in Alistair's case, totally justifiable in Cellbit's)

In the unlikely scenario where I did pair him with Raven, Felps would 100% be his Maddie, k?

Felps x Maddie Hatter

I'm not doing 1:1 crossover but Alistair/Cell being besties with Maddie/Felps works too i guess

Chaotic, unpredictable, barely comprehensible, they will encourage their bffs to be the best version of themselves while also enabling them to do the dumbest shit possible

Part of a weird polycule that by all means shouldn't be there but they decided to make it everyone else's problem

Signature Food (pasta/tea)

Tina x Cerise Hood

Deeply self-conscious about their identity, hiding under a semblance of innocence so no one notices their monstrous/demon heritage

Actively hiding a part of themselves (horns/ears)

Despite that, they still instigate their friends to be unhinged, as long as they can be on their good side

The Polycule of Doom™ shall only exist in my wildest imagination and in my sketchbook 😔

I don't usually confirm or deny fan theories before the story plays out, but there are such an outlandish number of fan theories asking if there will be a polyamorous relationship between the Greasefire characters that I need to answer them. Some of the poly theories also include Lexi and Duke Dandy???? Even Brady?? This will never happen, put any hope you have of it to rest.

Ashley would rather get run over by a bus than hear the word "polyamorous" ever again. He is the least likely character to ever want a poly relationship. Like he is literally traumatized by the very concept of them. I cannot stress enough how badly he wouldn't want that. The Greasefire gang are a friend group lmao they aren't in a six-way romantic slow burn, they're just close friends and that's fine.

PS though, I do support people making absolutely insane crack ships that would never be canon, so don't let this deter you from writing your own fanfic ending.

World's Messiest Breakup

5/10 Dedicated to the bit

4.1 Beck

CRACK SHIP I SWEAR

I know y'all are about to come for me

But listen

Programs have no concept of age

This ship is purely for fun for me, I highly ship them as father and son usually (see: Able)

Something about the desperation and trust issues between them speak to me

We all know it would never work out

7/10 doomed by the narrative (if we HAD ANY)

5. Flynnster

fuck boi God SUPREME

I am highly biased on this

loves Tron so much he ported him from the old system

Spent more time with him than with his own son (-1 point for that)

named everything after him

Tron was ready to give up his own life to save him

ANGST

never officially broke up but he thought he was derezzed so that counts

9/10 HERE WE STAND WORLDS APART HEARTS BROKEN IN T- ok I'll stop

6. Ram

Cinnamon Roll too pure yadda yadda

Wide eyed sweetheart

Never did anything wrong in his short cycle

Was in a brief polycule with Tron and Flynn

Only broke up because he derezzed

What's not to like

11/10 perfect angle

7. Yori

HER

Unpopular opinion y'all are about to murder me

They were each other's beards

She's a nerd lesbian

Because she's hot and I want a chance with her I want her to be

They simply realized they preferred other programs and amicably broke up

She calls him up from the first system every now and then and they spill some hot tea and rebellion tips

100/10 bc im in love with her here have another pic

Anyone I missed?

In conclusion, all users and programs desire Tron carnally, grid's biggest slut, he's in nothing and is my everything thank you for coming to my TRON Talk next time I'll rate Beck's exes cause that's been overcooking in my brain too

[ccstiles]

There's been an agreement that if the Polycule of Doom were to happen, it would just turn into Lord of the Flies lol
