🍰Dollop🩷

Initially working as a packaging boy for Cartel Confectioneries pastries as a young mud before being "promoted" to a full blown company mascot/ spokesperson of some kind before he even reached his teen years, dollop had been a very integral aspect of the identity the company had built for itself, utilizing a more "trustworthy" and "cute" brand to separate itself from it's competition.

Cartel Confectionery also utilized this marketing philosophy as a way to deflect the rumors and criticism from the khanzumer parts of oddworld, and they needed someone unfortunate enough to be their puppet who can spew their propaganda and make them money.

And dollop's undying devotion and childish innocence made him the perfect shmuck for it.

completely unaware of the grimy reasoning for their life-changing promotion, dollop viewed this as a great honor on his part, a mudokon being a company mascot was unheard of, all his life he just assumed being an ordinary slave was all he was capable of being, but this, this was different, this was huge success story for him. A realization on his part that he was something much,much more, for all the wrong reasons.

Now as an offical spokesperson for Cartel Confectionery, his daily routine went from endless hours of wrapping different kinds of sugar sweets into their matching packaging to being dressed up in vibrant and eccentric clothing that matched whatever the higher ups wanted to advertise that day for photo shoots and commercials, cute outfits that were much more comfortable and pretty to look at than the dirty worker outfits other mudokons had to wear, for a while dollop assumed these were the kind of outfits that only the most successful inhabitants would wear everyday.

His role as a mascot was so integral to his very identity, even when he was mistreated the same way as his fellow mudokons by having to work insane hours and being injured by his peers whenever he stepped out of line, he found himself rationalizing anything that would question his career, for no other mudokon has had made it the same way he did, being a mascot was important to him the same way he was important to the company he was birthed into, in his eyes at least.

Unfortunately, his career would reach an unexpected hault at the age of 23 when he overheard a glukkon executive making a brief mention of replacing him if something were to happen, leading dollop to go on a spiral causing him to act out during a photo shoot leading him to be locked into his room as punishment, signifying that he was no longer safe.

however lucky for him, he wouldn't be in that horrid factory for long thanks to a dear slig.

🔗Licorice 🔗

For most of Licorice's life, he worked as a security officer for cartel confectionery, mostly keeping to himself in the security office, which was very much the only place that he felt some form of safety and comfort in, he could watch people have interactions he feels he would never have with other people with the cameras and no one would bother him while he's in there.

He's a rather insecure and sensitive slig, which are aspects of him that would get him in a lot of trouble with his fellow sligs. Sligs all around the world are taught to be as cruel and unkind as humanly possible in many ways, such as being faced by cruelty at a young age so their natural compassionate nature is stunted, for when they grow up to be cannon fodder to their glukkon rulers, they can be used to oppress any slaves that step out of line, giving the sligs a false sense of power to keep them loyal.

So whenever licorice would show any form of softness to others he'd be brutally punished and mocked my his co-workers, this ends up triggering his anger issues which sprung from said insecurity and leads him into getting into fights and violent outbursts with other people, and more often than not he never walks out unharmed. Events like this leave him with a lot of guilt over what he had done, but licorice found himself trying to rationalize and justify his actions due to his lifelong oppression he had suffered.

As a result, he had resorted to being a standoffish shut in, refusing to allow himself any form of vulnerability or softness for the sake of protecting himself from harm, even if it ends up hurting him even more as a result, putting on a "lone wolf" persona as an addition. All that won't last very long for him.

((art by @/c0smic-v0mit, thanks mate ^_^))

Licorice never really knew dollop personally at that point before the coming events leading to their escape, only really seeing him in commercials and company posters inside the factory. Dollop's optimistic and innocent personality shining through said commercials had him rather perplexed and somewhat disturbed, liccy was rather cynical and bitter about cartel confectionery, he was more than aware of their corruption and poor quality control of their products, so seeing a mudokon so cheery about advertising their products had him confused.

Was it all just an act, or was dollop just a fool. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel bad for him, he seemed genuinely passionate about his job, even when he was most certainly being exploited without even knowing it.

It got to a point when licorice was ordered to guard his door after he acted out during a photo shoot, he found himself wanting to break him out, dollop was friendly, albeit very annoying, but seeing him like this began to trigger his compassionate side, which he absolutely hated. Despite trying to make it apparent that he "reluctantly" helped dollop escape, he found himself caring a lot about him, and that feeling would grow more and more as the two learn to survive in the forest in the hut.

He might try to suppress his softness and true emotions to dollop, but dollop is most certainly going to unlock it, whether he likes it or not

can you do earth 42!miles x reader where reader owns a small business and he shows constant support and always promotes her business?🩷

earth42!miles morales ft. his small business owning gf!

♡ pairings & aus: miles morales x fem!black!reader, aged up au for plot. ♡ warnings: none! ♡ summary: miles comes out to one of your pop-ups to support you <3 ♡ a/n: thank you anon for your request <3 ♡ got a request? | masterlist ♡

NEW YORK'S SUMMER AIR blew past you in a warm wave, the sweltering heat causing you to bend down behind your stand, propping your cooler open as your hands wrapped around a bottle of water. It was so hot that you bit the top off your cool beverage in attempt to drink it as fast as you can, lips wrapping around the opening as you gulped it down quickly.

"Y'know I could've brought you sum' cool to drink, right?"

You turned around to see your boyfriend, who walked underneath your tent, making his way to you as he opened his arms for you to embrace yourself in. You did so with glee, pressing up to your tip toes as you kissed his cheek, "What are you doing here? I thought you had to work!"

"Nah," he shook his head, walking around to your table out front as he picked up various items that you had for sale, "Not today, wanted t'see my girl come make her bank."

A smile found your lips as Miles continued to curiously look around your set up. It was a place where business owners could set up and advertise, so lots of people were setting up shop in the grass as people shopped around.

Your small business had kicked off just a couple months ago, but Miles was there every step of the way. You sold various items-- candles, lip gloss, perfume, body butter-- and accessories for your fellow black girls. Although he didn't really need what you were selling, Miles always helped you find new scents or flavors for your things, and he would always let you try them out on him, despite the level of embarrassment he carried with him after the fact.

Last time, you had convinced Miles to let you try out your lashes and new lip gloss on him, which resulted in him clawing the lashes off, claiming that they itched too bad and he 'couldn't even blink.'

He's just a drama queen.

As Miles walked around picking up things, you saw three black girls come in, who looked about your age, maybe younger. They eagerly picked up your items on display as you welcomed them in with bright smiles. One of the girls picked up two candles and some colorful edge brushes, waltzing up to the counter as her friends continued to browse.

You eyed your boyfriend, realizing that he was showing them around and giving them little insights on your product. It melted your heart, eyes still fixated on him as you rang the girl in front of you up. As she handed you her card, she asked you, "Is that your man?"

"Sure is." You gleamed proudly, "He likes t'pop in sometimes and help me out."

The girl watched you intensively as you transferred her items into a cute bright pink bag with your logo on it, a bag that your boyfriend had helped you design one Saturday night when you were sleeping over at his place.

"I wish somebody loved me like that," She murmured, smiling as you handed her the bag and her credit card, "Keep him, girl, 'cause you ain't gon' find nobody else that'll do that for you."

You both giggled at her statement, though nothing but truth was laced in it. You bid her a farewell as she walked out, her girlfriends still shopping around for some items. Your boyfriend departed from them and slid behind the counter, leaning on it as she sighed.

"Girl, I've been workin' so hard tryna find them what they lookin' for. It really is a struggle."

"Ew, you're so gross." You pushed him as he laughed at his impression of you when you're working. Miles grabbed your hand and squeezed it, a smile etched on his face as he spoke, "I'm so proud'a you, mami. You knew all this was gon' be a lil' challenging, but look where you at. That's my girl." He encouraged, giving you a sweet kiss on your cheek.

"I love you," you smiled as you felt Miles pepper more loving kisses on your cheek, holding your waist close to him as you arched your back in his embrace, squealing at him.

Your playful bantering came to a stop with the two remaining women in your shop placed their items on the counter. You greeted them and rung them up, your lover behind you watching closely. You quickly bagged their items and thanked them for supporting you, and they left you a gracious tip as they walked out. You held up the bill, "Big ballin'."

"Damn right." Miles laughed, high fiving you as he held onto your hand, looking around before whispering,

"Let's dip and go get lunch."

You eyed your shop before giving him a raised eyebrow, "What if someone comes by? Or steals?"

He rolled his eyes at you, grabbing his car keys from the table as he wrapped his arms around your waist, closing the tent and walking to his car.

"Then I'll beat their ass. Now, let's go eat."

is it alright to share a little thought here? you don’t have to publish this if you don’t want to!

For me, I think the SWA hiatus was not as shocking as others found it because Tom wasn’t promoting anything or even a part of interviews for the new EP. The only thing I ever saw him post for Pink. Yellow. Red. was him saying which song was his favourite.

It began to feel like he was simply too busy, and as the lead singer it leaves the rest of the lads in an odd spot. They went to a lot of gigs in such a short period of time as well, I wonder if they simply tired themselves out, burnout is so real.

I can’t wait to see what all the boys do from here though! We love Tom but they are all so genuinely creative as well 🩷

Of course, I completely agree - Tom really did not do a lot of advertising this - which nothing against him in many ways , i imagine he is very busy.

But yeah, he seems to have taken a step back with all the photos from insta deleted and such.
