Give me the sun and roxy dynamic!

Okay so in terms of the programming conflicts – which I assume is where this sprang from, if not feel free to correct me so I can better answer this – the relationship is very uh… uneven for a while.

Roxy, in her first few months in the Plex, is learning to mix her two conflicting language processors into one that makes her actually understandable to the people around her, and also dealing with every other conflict in her programming. So for a while? She does not understand that a toothy smile is a good thing. And what does Sunny always have? A big ol’ toothy grin!

So she’s under the impression he and Moon really fucking hate her for some reason. She looks at them and Monty with their teeth constantly on display and is confused why they’re talking in chill tones yet obviously telling her to fuck off, and sometimes straight up asking for a fight. She just met these guys! Why are they like this?? Did she invade their territory or something?? Fine! She’ll just stay in her own territory! Fuck those guys!

Sunny on the other hand, is also under the impression that Roxy doesn’t like him. Why else would she growl at them so quickly? Why else would she go rigid and snap her teeth at them when he got too close? Why else would she keep such a big distance between them through the entire one-sided conversation? The difference with Sunny though, would be that they’d probably have been told about Roxy’s lack of clear communication ability. They were just trying to be as comforting, supportive and encouraging as possible and yet that’s how she reacted?? What did they do wrong?? Did he mess it up? Maybe he missed something obvious? Or maybe he was too pushy? He’s heard they can be pretty overwhelming at times but they tried so hard not to be this time! Did it not work? Oh, he’s so sad. He’s convinced he’s just lost a new friend because of something they’ve done and really wants to make up for it but she’s giving him such a wide berth that he’s starting to lose hope he ever will.

However, things do change of course! You can’t just leave Roxy thinking every big smile is some sort of threat, right? Well, this is where the others come in.

I like to give Bonnie this role but it could be anyone you want it to be really, outside of Monty, Moon and Sunny. DJ Music Man would probably be a much better fit for it anyway but moving on. They ask her why she keeps getting into fights with Monty and she stumbles on her words a bit, but manages to get them to understand that she’s convinced he’s starting it. The very moment she mentions why, it’s explained to her that smiling like that is just a natural thing people do, even if dogs don’t. It… takes a good few difficult to answer questions before Roxy is able to kind of wrap her head around that but it’s still going to take some getting used to.

Now, back to Sunny. Bonnie passes onto him that they figured out why Roxy didn’t like him literally the second she saw him and they’re relieved that it was just miscommunication but also feels awful that anyone would feel like he was threatening them so of course they have to fix that. Their next meeting goes a bit smoother, with Sunny making sure to keep some distance between them and not to make any sudden moves towards her to make sure she doesn’t misunderstand their intentions again but also quickly learns that she’s not much of a talker. Or at least, she’s not comfortable enough to be a talker. Or maybe she’s still not great at communicating and thus, doesn’t want to do it all the time, which he can understand! They get all sorts of kids in the daycare, he can handle a new nervous friend! Even if her chomping would ordinarily get her banned from the Daycare…

Yeah, she’s breaking rules all the damn time. Does she know she’s breaking rules? Nope. Sunny hasn’t told her yet. He’s so desperate to make her feel comfortable and make himself out to be as friendly as possible that they’re overcompensating a bit. They’re too nervous to ruin what progress they’ve made by enforcing the rules and she’s not broken anything yet, right? It’ll be fiiiinnneee… Moon doesn’t have this problem ordinarily but Sunny keeps fretting so much that now Moon won’t do anything about it either unless it starts to get out of hand and well. You can imagine that when it does get out of hand, there’s probably going to be some problems.

Anyway, on Roxy’s side of things, the teeth still have her on edge. She doesn’t want to run around or anything because it’s just making her feel like she should be ready to rip this guy to shreds. Also he’s so loud?? And them giving her space like this is both making her feel better and worse because what if they’re scared of her? He won’t be the only one if he is. She’s not sure how to feel about that since the dog side hates the idea while the character side thinks it’s funny, but she does know she wants to jump in the ball pit and chew the giant Freddy plush to shreds. She will not though. She will just not notice as she starts chewing whatever she picks up instead. Chewing stim go brrr

The relationship here is a slow one, just like it is for Moon and Monty. Roxy has to work on unlearning that teeth are a threat and that’s really hard to do when it’s hardwired into your very being. It takes time, and once she makes her debut and has to deal with this exact problem all day from hundreds of people daily that’s gonna get overwhelming fast and she’s probably not going to want to keep dealing with it in her off time so yeah. Once she settles a bit more into everything, things get a bit easier. Well that problem does anyway.

This is just one of her many problems to deal with. Don’t forget the anger issues from the constant conflicts in her programming making it difficult to feel like she is acting as herself or as intended, the frustration caused by language barriers and no one listening to her when she’s asked for help with it, the fact she has to interact with Sunny and Moon who both put her on edge all the time and also don’t seem to get her… Getting past the teeth thing is merely a hurdle in the Grand National here.

Other problems? The side of her that was programmed as the cool, and independent wolf character doesn’t fucking like him. Why would it? She’s cool! She’s clever! She’s a star racer! Why would she want to play Blind Man’s Bluff or Hide and Seek in her free time? She has better things to do! And yet her dog side loves him. He’s the perfect match for her dog side. So add this to the list of frustrating things!

Sunny is so fucking nice and kind and she’s just this ball of fluffy anger and zooms. He can’t tell her to stop breaking the rules because he’s too scared to upset her and she’s too stuck in her own problems to notice he’s desperately trying to distract her from the Freddy plush she’s absolutely obliterating. He doesn’t understand her, she doesn’t understand him, it’s all a massive learning curve.

Actually you know what would be really sweet? Sunny high jacking the internet for information about dogs to make her more comfortable. He seems like he’d overdo it a bit though or read like… the ‘dominance training’ bullshit and royally fuck it up. But if he does it in a funny way? Well, kudos to him for making her laugh! He’s trying so hard, probably harder than literally anyone else because the one thing he can always do, is make someone feel safe and comfortable and god damn it he’s gonna do it for Roxy if it kills him!

Anyway, some ups, Sunny makes her – and everyone else of course – little gifts during craft time with the tots, and calls her down to the daycare whenever she’s needed for a birthday or when they really need to find something. Roxy meanwhile, starts to really appreciate the bells on him allowing her to know where he is in the room since that helps her nerves a bit and once she’s comfortable, she’s more than happy to find a kid’s toy or something else they’ve lost as an opportunity to show off. Sunny is always trying to coax her into conversation and is insanely patient when she can’t find her words. Roxy needs all the patience – and practice – she can get but also learns how to trigger an infodump or rant so that she can just vibe in the same room and listen without having to work so hard in the conversation.

Also, Sunny is the only one that has the same high level of energy as she does. Moon thinks it’s funny to trigger the zooms in Roxy right before Sunny takes over and mentally sits there with the popcorn as these two lose their absolute shit together. Roxy will just bowl him over and Sunny will jump back up and try and wrestle a ball pit ball from her or something. He has yet to succeed but one of these days they will! Just you wait!

Sunny loves having someone to share fidget toys with and Roxy loves not feeling like the only one that likes them. They get a new one and they can spend all night trying it out before either going back to one they prefer or deciding who gets to keep the new one. They can race each other to see who can complete a Rubiks cube first or run each other out of energy by playing some new fast paced game Sunny came up with or something.

It takes a while to get that far in their relationship of course. Roxy’s more cool and stoic programming makes it a little difficult too since this is kids stuff and not for someone cool like her so that takes some working through as well, but she can’t deny Sunny can be a blast. It also makes her laugh when Moon comes out specifically to cause a problem and then fucks off again, only to return after she’s fallen asleep in the middle of the daycare, pretending he’s not moved away from her because he’s just taken over and hasn’t had a chance to sneak away yet.

Also, oh my god I just realised it would be really sweet if the bells became a stim for Roxy too so Sunny ties one of his belled ribbons to her spiky collar or around her wrist so she can jingle with him. It has been tied around her tail at least once and it makes it even more obvious when Roxy is happy, the jingles making them both happier until her tail wags too hard and the bell falls off and now they’re both sad :(

Lmao anyway, yeah. It’s a slowburn friendship for a multitude of reasons. The unintentionally threatening teeth, both of them giving the other space, getting over the ‘this is childish and weird’ thing, figuring out where the boundaries are, the initial communication barrier, the sheer amount of rules Roxy keeps unknowingly breaking in the daycare until Sunny grows a back bone to stop her… the list goes on! Most of it is on Roxy’s side of things, girl’s just full of problems but they get there!

Probably the last person to get a special Roxy howl for them but that just makes it extra meaningful, right?
