#inkneedles

[losergirlranboolive]

inkneedles is supposed to be a crack ship but ink5oul "let me look at the dead body you can trust me i'm an influencer" and needles "if you don't take me seriously i'll just dox you" are making out sloppy style and bullying kids on the internet together and there's nothing i can do about it

Thinking about my thoughts on Inkneedles ship from Magnus Protocol, apologies for followers who saw this already but I decided it needs its own post. I am getting somewhat Magnus Protocol brainrot i admit

Inkneedles dynamic is like imagine a Twitch Streamer and a TikToker who both met as mututals on DeviantArt in 2013 (Needles nuked their DeviantArt years ago when they blew up on Vine; Ink5oul still has their DeviantArt and refuses to get a more professional portfolio of their work), and they lowkey can't stand each other but no one else likes them so they can't get rid of each other. And the reason everyone else hates them is totally the fault of their toxic friendship. Like Needles 100% outed Ink5oul as nonbinary in a Tumblr callout post on one of his alts but blamed another one of their mutuals and convinced Ink5oul to go no contact with that mutual to keep up the lie. And the few TikToker friends Needles ever made all got their accounts mass-reported when Ink5oul got jealous and sent their Twitch audience after them. And they're always sabotaging each other like this. But Needles stays in a spare room on the second floor of Ink5oul's tattoo parlor rent free and stays up until 5AM making DIY piercing tutorials on TikTok (note: these tutorials are all terrible, unclear if he's doing that intentionally for the whole Fear Monster thing or if he's just bad at it naturally), sleeps past noon every day, and gets woken up by Ink5oul blasting the most atrocious dubstep remix of a Lady Gaga track you've ever heard in your life. Needles has 100% doxxed Ink5oul's home address twice over this behavior, refuses to admit it, but all the same Ink5oul won't give him their new address after the last time. Also every time Ink5oul threatens to kick Needles out for not paying rent, Needles just gives Ink5oul a promo on his tiktok and gets the twitch stream like 200 new followers and Ink5oul decides to let it slide. Both of them have huge folders of "receipts" on their phones about the other one in case they ever feel like they need to cancel them. Notably none of these receipts are about either of the other's supernatural crimes, it's all just stuff like them being problematic or petty.

Ink5oul calls Needles a clout-chaser on stream at least once a week. Needles is vague-posting about their bourgeoisie "landlord" every few days. They hate each other. They can't escape each other. Crackship of the century.

Also I rescind my other post about them, i think i do ship it now actually

I feel like evey ink5oul x needles shipper is using a different tag so..

[eli-being-silly]

inkneedles tag only has two posts and one of them is mine so i am out here grinding.

anyway. needles plays minecraft and animal jam, ink5oul plays call of duty and roblox. they scream at each other while they play it. it is their favourite activity.

I have to be the change I want to see in the world (writing inkneedles fics)

[johnpallo]

Do I ship Inkneedles? Not especially. But do I get the appeal? 100%.

These two little freaks are so toxic, so deranged, match made in hell

[eli-being-silly]

ink5oul, needles, and dr samuel webber should be in a tattoo shop/florist au methinks.

ink5oul is the heavily inked up guy that everyone falls a little bit in love with but is quite scared by when he walks around.

needles is the weird twink in the punk clothes that follows the tattoo artist around, he does all the piercings.

dr samuel webber goes in to get a daith piercing to help his migraines, needles recognises him but doesn't know from where, and samuel clarifies that he's a florist.

needles is profoundly pleased with how nervous and intimidated samuel's demeanour is, a constant trickle of both general fear and fear of his needles, and ink5oul needs a piercer so he lets needles do whatever.

I love that inkneedles looks like another banger magpod ship name based on vibes but it is literally just a name mashup

Seeing a very small number of fics for a ship or character you're obsessed with is so motivating
