Twitch Streamer Mary Ann Skuttle AU

She almost exclusively plays video games, tho sometimes she reviews the quality and cuteness of plushies. Sometimes she updates people on her quokki pet's level or how her personal AC Island looks, or her longest running Stardew Farm. (Maru IS her favorite Stardew marriageable NPC because it reminds her of her "loser boyfriend".)

Sometimes she gets her friends to play games with her on stream, or they're just in the background hanging out. Once when a game comes out that Mary Ann is legit excited for (in her own way) everyone gathers in a little watch party in the background with snacks as they settle in for the Marathon stream about to happen.

If she misses some streams she probably tosses out a simple update about her and her friends being on a quest or something similar that she implies is kinda lame. Her watchers KNOW she's an adventurer but there is never any elaboration.

They also know she has a boyfriend but known VERY little about him.

Loser Boyfriend™️ Confirmed Facts

1. Loser

2. His quokki pets gameplay is trash

3. Also an adventurer ig

4. Plays drums sometimes

5. They officially met when she curb-stomped his ass at a sports tryouts and he got mad. (No elaboration)

6. He made her a switch capable of running ROMhacks and mods.

7. Half-orc. The only times they have ever seen him is once or twice when he wordlessly hands her a mango soda from off screen. They have an entire emote of his hand with the soda bottle they spam sometimes. (#bottleboi)

Which is to say when Gorgug shows up in the background of the stream one day, cause Mary Ann rearranged or was streaming from somewhere else temporarily, people start freaking out.

Mary Ann notices but only comments "yeah, that's my loser boyfriend. Don't worry about it."

THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE MARY ANN!!!

THAT'S GORGUG THISTLESPRING, FAMOUS 4X WORLD SAVING RENOWN ADVENTURER BEFORE HE EVEN FINISHED HIGHSCHOOL, THE FIRST EVER BARBIFICER IN THE WORLD, AND GODDAMN FAMOUS ROCK STAR.

YOU CALL HIM YOUR LOSER BOYFRIEND?????

"His quokki pets gameplay is trash."

After some much needed post-battle rest, Gorgug is still left with one mystery to solve. How the hell is he supposed to figure out Mary Ann’s phone number? First, he asks Fig for help since she’s apparently on lime level. She laugh reacts to his message and tells him she has absolutely no clue what Quokki Pets is but she’ll meet him at Basrar’s.

Fig offers to Wanda Childa Mary Ann to try to get more information out of her and Gorgug practically begs her not to. They agree instead to request Adaine’s research expertise. Adaine sends them a bulleted list of Quokki Pets facts including where to find the game. The three of them meet at the Elmville mall to see if Mary Ann actually left her phone number there. Adaine starts mage handing copies of the game over to Fig (disguised as an employee) who opens them to see if there are any notes inside. Gorgug purchases a copy for himself. Maybe actually playing the game could be a good idea (and impress Mary Ann if that’s even possible). 

After being booted from the store, Mary Ann’s number still eluding them, they consider that finding Mary Ann’s profile could help. They enlist their tech genius, so Riz shows up with his equipment ready to go. He hacks into the Quokki Pets message boards and finds a high level user located in Elmville with the name Mangostrawb. Gotta be her. So they look through her posts on the message boards and mostly just find her showing off her Quokkis, leaving scathing comments on non-optimized builds, or occasionally dropping tips for new players. After scrolling through dozens of pages, they’re positive Mangostrawb is Mary Ann but that’s still not exactly helpful.

They finally call it quits for the day and go their separate ways, vowing to keep helping Gorgug get to that bench. Late that night as he’s embarking on his Quokki Pets journey, Gorgug gets a text from an unknown number. He opens it. “you don’t just get quokki pets. they come to you”

Gorgug sighs and puts his crystal down. She's so fucking annoying.

And so hot.

what gorgug and mary anne have is like. extremely competent autistic teen girl who only cares about the stuff that matters (quokki pets and her family (who make benches)) and her pathetic meow meow boyfriend who is somehow also extremely competent and good at very niche things but shes still the atronger one. also shes 3-4 feet shorter than him. viva la gorganne

[imsodishy]

Gorgug furiously admiting, "She's so hot!" after a season of hating her is peek enemies to lovers.

[everyfandom-girl]

there's something so goddamn funny about Mary Ann Scuttle x Gorgug to me. Because they're tropes, right? Everyone in the Fantasy High world is a trope from Riverdale and Breakfast Club and every teen movie except for Mary Ann "Tribute to Real Teenagers" Scuttle.

Something about the ordinary girl who speaks two sentences, only about things she's interested in, approaching Mr. Teenage Rockstar + Superhero, Hannah Montana Clark Kent Mad Scientist teen mashup and asking "do you have a girlfriend 😐"...

...and he's the one who breaks down saying "she's so hot--" to her Same Grey Sweatshirt Every Day, lives in Animal Crossing, plushie collection vibes? Mr Rockstar caves at the slightest romantic vibe?? That's beautiful, actually. Self-shippers, I'm sorry I ever doubted you, your superhuman bae does want you back -

[vultures-yay-or-nay]

Gorgug can have two weird undefined situationships as a treat

[wessie-in-pjs]

They are so cute omg......

Gorgug: so how does quokki pets work

Mary ann: like this idiot

Gorgug: IM GONNA FUCKING GET YOU DUDE

Mary ann: (throws him through a window)

Gorgug: SIGH ok yeah I love you too

[ornitharts]

Gorgug is 6’4” and Mary Ann is like 2’ tall

[teenagerebellion]

WHAT IS HAPPENING. SKUTTLESPRING REAL?????

[howlbear]

Thinks about Gorgug making trinkets of Mary Ann's special interests

[recycledraccoon]

I have evolved into Scuttlespring anon, just say anything about them. I love them so much

THE ANON PANTHEON GROWS

Ok so. Gorgug likes Mary Ann because she absolutely infuriates him but also, and perhaps more importantly, because she has a type of confidence I think a younger Gorgug would have deeply envied. She's so weird, but entirely sure of herself. She likes what she likes and anyone who would have a problem with that is absolutely beneath her notice. She has friends not despite her oddities, but because she refuses to bend about them and that confidence is incredibly attractive in a person. Mary Ann Skuttle see's something she wants and she just...goes and gets it, easy peasy. Tiny little kobald strides, but when she puts her foot down with force, Gorgug thinks she could crush a mountain under with nothing so much as a blink or falter of her stride. She's certainly physically strong enough for it, and while Gorgug is undisputedly the better fighter, Mary Ann has a physical strength hidden under soft pastel pink hoodies and can, has, and will knock Gorgug on his ass. Gorgug got THRASHED at those Bloodrush field tryouts, and I'm certain he probably got his ass handed to him more than once during the year while at practice but before he quit the team. She made him so damn mad, everything that year was, and endlessly kind Gorgug got real mean to her over it. She was better than him, more casually confident, and didn't blink ONCE at his outburst. And later? When she was resurrected and freed from possession? He talks to her, acknowledges that it was just a game but he had been actually mad to be so easily knocked aside. He never really had to work at Bloodrush to be good at it, he just was, until suddenly she proved herself better.

And yet, without flinching, Mary Ann, famous for not giving a shit but listening to Gorgug say how much he had, just....asks if he has a girlfriend. Unparalleled confidence, shooting a shot he was unprepared for. Planets aligned even as his own orbit was knocked off course. And then, when he admits he doesn't even know where to get a quokki pet, something its been explicitly known to be something she really cares about? She writes down her number, letting him see that folded paper. She initiated this, and he got swept up in it, but instead of just handing over the number and allowing him to be swept up- Mary Ann Skuttle puts the number away and tells him shes gonna put it where you get quokki pets, and if he wants her number he's going to have to go get it. He's not allowed to just be swept up in the force of her, she wants him to put in effort, prove to her and himself that this isn't just a moment but a starting point. He cant be swept up by the tide, he's gotta swim. Gorgug liked Zelda, but their relationship started because they thought she was in danger and Gorgug had the best in. He stumbled into that relationship unsure and off balance, he never would have had the confidence to pursue Zelda without his friends hands on his back and their advice in his ears. Later on he gets more serious, he did love her and he put in the work to maintain that relationship, but it didn't work out and that's ok. Ever confident Mary Ann tho? She doesn't want unsure stumbling steps into this relationship. If Gorgug doesn't make the active decision to chase her, to WANT to be with her and putting deliberate effort to get there, then she doesn't want him at all. Gorgug, confused, asking where you even GET a quokki pet? And she smirks, calls him a loser, and walks away leaving him reeling and dumbfounded. Mary Ann Skuttle wants Gorgug to work for this. And who is Gorgug Thistlespring, but someone who puts in the work for things he wants? He did the seemingly impossible by creating his own subclass of Barbaficer, even if he had to take four years of schooling all at once. He puts in the work and makes the impossible possible, the greatest wizard of this age. So yeah. Yeah. Gorgug Thistlespring likes Mary Ann Skuttle because she makes him work for it.

this one goes out to everyone who replied "gorgug has two hands" on my gorgug/unit art <3

waiter bring me your finest gornitann (ungorgann?)

[becausesure]

Hey gang I'm pretty sure Maryanne's height from the wiki is just taken from the Kobold race from Volo's which states it to be 2-3ft tall

In the official Rat Grinders art she seems to be about the height of Kipperlilly who would be about 3ft tall and in fact Maryanne maybe taller because she slouches

So either all of the Rat Grinders are very short of Maryanne is just a tall Kobold

Also assuming Oisin is around Gorgug's height because dragon born are around 6ft and he seems to be bigger because of the crystals (house party they said he filled out after the star) Gorgug and Maryanne would have about their difference

[evilcatgirlwizard]

yknow i know gorgug knows his bio dad and i know its not bill seacaster but i straight up think its a througline from bill to both gorgug and fabian that they like it when women are better than them at shit and will soundly and thoroughly beat their asses about it. fabian getting flirty when rage!mazey threatens him? gorgug realizing hes probably been so "mad" at mary ann bc hes had a thing for her the whole ass season bc she beat his ass? bill seacaster only marrying and settling down with a woman so good at sword combat she Could Kill Him At Any Time?????? im just saying. im just saying!

gorgug was a little right when he asked bill if he was his dad. hes only gorgugs dad in terms of his taste in women.

I NEED double dates with Fig & Ayda and Gorgug & Mary Ann right now. I need Ayda and Mary Ann solidarity over their crazy adventurer partners and just commiserating over their own special interests. Mary Ann gives her Quokki pet books to read and Ayda looks into the development of online pets and the culture behind them. They both info dump like crazy and have a great time together. Meanwhile Fig and Gorgug just sit aside and fawn over their cute partners, occasionally writing music and discussing who to have on the next episode of the “Complicated Women” podcast
