[to-be-a-dreamer]

See now the most compelling thing about Skuttlespring (Gorgug/Mary Ann) is that Zac Oyama the human guy reacts to the “Okay. Do you have a girlfriend?” scene like he’s an actual 17-year-old boy who just got asked out by the girl he’s been fighting tooth and nail to hate for an entire school year in front of his five best friends. That man is FLUSTERED and EMBARRASSED he is selling Gorgug’s sudden onset hate-crush in the midst of a completely unrelated situationship like his life depends on it and all the other Intrepid Heroes are equally in-character it’s so perfect. That is a 30-something year old man who has a whole entire wife but he’s out here stuttering and blushing like a teenager and THAT is why I will absolutely ship these two characters that have interacted two and a half times in canon and were either completely apathetic about or cartoonishly enraged by the other’s general existence for the entire season

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 -

Chapters: 3/? Fandom: Dimension 20 (Web Series) Rating: Mature Warnings: Underage Relationships: Mary Ann Skuttle/Gorgug Thistlespring, Adaine Abernant/Oisin Hakinvar, minor Fabian Aramais Seacaster/Mazey Phaedra, minor Figueroth Faeth/Ayda Aguefort, Aelwyn Abernant/Ivy Embra Characters: Gorgug Thistlespring, Mary Ann Skuttle, Adaine Abernant, Oisin Hakinvar, Figueroth Faeth, Ayda Aguefort, Fabian Aramais Seacaster, Mazey Phaedra, Riz Gukgak, Kristen Applebees, Squeem (Dimension 20), Aelwyn Abernant, Ragh Barkrock, Ivy Embra, Ruben Hopclap Additional Tags: Asexual Riz Gukgak, Demisexual Adaine Abernant, that's my new headcanon, Hallariel's Bad Parenting, how is that not a tag already she's so neglectful, mad at Gilear too, Marry Ann has autistic sensitivity because that feels right, the fandom's obsession with mango soda and how I've decided it's a euphemism, this is mostly things that made me laugh while writing but some bummers ended up in here as well, all pulp no juice all bits no sex, Ivy/Aelwyn was originally a couple offhanded lines in chp.1, then it was really fun to write so now it's a big chunk Series: Part 4 of I Thought It Was A Different Bench, To Be Honest Summary:

A series of loosely connected snippets from the summer after junior year. There are explicit mentions of sex but nothing happens on screen. Have I ever before considered smut as juice and non-smut as pulp? No, but the chant wouldn't leave my head when trying to come up with a title.

Mostly based around Skutgug (the new ship name of Scuttlespring I've embraced) but it’s evolved to be a series of vignettes about all the Bad Kids and the [former] Rat Grinders as well, with big chunks of Adaine/Oisin and Ivy/Aelwyn.

CHAPTER THREE NOW UP

[everyfandom-girl]

We have only seen Mary Ann want three things --

1, to level up in Quokky Pets

2, mango soda

3, to climb that half-orc like a damn tree

My god I had forgotten what it’s like to dislike a ship and yet all of the art fucking slaps

Like I acknowledge the food is well made but personally it’s not my preferred palate

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.

She also calls him a loser, TO HIS FACE, and makes him work to get her number. And he does. Queen Shit.
