Hello! This will be the introduction to this rp blog! Welcome!
IC INTRO!
Hello! I recently discovered this whole âblogâ thing,, and it was interesting to say the least.. I got recommended to start one by a few friends! They said it would be very helpful to ramble about things.. oh! Iâm Pinkie by the way. I donât.. mind any nicknames though,, Iâll try to think of something clever back! HaâŚ. No promises though sorry,,
I use he/it/they pronouns! I donât mind just one being used though,,
I also enjoy the colors Pink and Purple! Theyâre very nice colorsâŚ
read more to learn about extra things about this account!
The character this blog is about is named Pinkie!
this blog will mostly rely on HEADCANONS due to Pinkie not having any canonical affiliation (to my knowledge)
if you do not like the headcanons Iâve created for this character, this blog is NOT FOR YOU and I recommend looking elsewhere!
he is single! But also cupioromantic, he really does want and enjoy the thought of a romantic relationship, but struggles so bad to form romantic connections with ppl :(
MY HEADCANONS FOR PINKIE INCLUDE!!
He is transmasc! (He/him/they/them/it/its)
he is autistic, and often non/semi verbal! (This will[most likely] not interfere with the blog since it is mostly text related!)
he is Cupiromantic and Pan! (First being he craves a romantic relationship, but has trouble gaining feelings for people)
nicknames include: Pinkie, Cupid (for now, feel free to make any new nicknames for the guy! His ârealâ name is Theodore, often shortened to Theo ^_^)
^ speaking of his real name, not many people call him by it, simply because they donât really know it.. he introduces himself as Pinkie because thatâs what literally everybody knows him by lol
him and Sunspot are besties (yapper x listener [platonic])
hes very flustered easily, and his ears light up a bring pink to indicate this
his facial expressions are often plain, which is why he wears a mask with a sort of flushed expression on them, so people donât depend on his facial expressions to indicate his tone
he knows ASL!
probably around his early-to-late 20s!
his brother is GUILD. And although they are only half related by blood, their bond is strong.
Boundaries!
The person behind this account is 18! Comments that are a bit out there are fine by me, but please do keep in mind that you are public, so behave.
flirting IC is fine with me! I generally do not mind! Donât expect much back though- as said above I hc this silly guy as very easily flustered,, however flirting OOC, Iâm fine with a little playful banter, though please donât let it escalate farther than a simple joke :)
I donât mind rping a bit!(either in DMs or Reblogging) Iâd prefer if it were kept SFW no matter the age of the person Iâm rping with- (this may change however, no promises)
asterisks (*) before a text means OOC(out of character), which means I am NOT roleplaying as pinkie in that moment. This entire introduction and boundaries thing is out of character!
this isnât an actual blog! Itâs a mere rp one, so Iâd appreciate it if any asks that were targeted towards advertising to something didnât happen- it will be deleted :(
TAGS:
decided to do tags stuff because it could help with organizing (subject to change)
#Pinkie Rambles ~ for general talking
#(*ooc) ~ out of character speaking (if I am speaking out of character in the text box and not the tags, or if something is important, it will be colored PURPLE!)
#LOVEly art ~ Art Iâve made for this blog!
#XOXOHEARTS ~ Art OTHERS have made for this blog!
#reblogging! ~ general reblogged posts
#Aesthetic Purposes ~ anything that I find or others found for me that I think fits pinkies vibe/overall aesthetic!
I will be trying to use these, however I will not update ALL earlier posts Iâve made to have these tags, sorry ^_^â
CYA! hope to gain a following and gain some moots/friends!

aw thank you Nolan!! Youâre always so sweet, really! I just,, itâs one of my friends- I think.. I have a crush on him.. Iâm not really sure what to do aha..
First of all, figure out if he feels the same way about you! Try with small but more romantic oriented details to get more clues but not as obvious as giving him a huge bouquet. For example, chocolate is romantic, but not a regular candy bar, no, one of those with gold envelope and fancy flavors. Always work đ
you seem like youâre.. an expert on all of this, thanks for some insight! Iâm not sure what kind of chocolate he likes though.. maybe Iâll try figuring that out,, thatâs- thatâs if I decide to even.. do that,
aw thank you Nolan!! Youâre always so sweet, really! I just,, itâs one of my friends- I think.. I have a crush on him.. Iâm not really sure what to do aha..

Angel!! Buddy!! I'm planning on moving back to the island.. was gonna move to that big house across the street from yous, but, I wanted to ask first; do you wanna be roomies again?
- D
Iâd love to be roommates again!! You bringing ginger along as well?

I feel like I should be concerned about if I got robbed at my shop considering how.. the island changed. At the same time.. Iâm not- and I think the fact that Iâm not concerned is concerning..
with all these flowers No-⌠ahm,, someone! Has me gift to his certain someone I wouldnât be surprised if the guy thought they were from me- itâs quite silly..

a very.. uhm⌠festive- looking man with glasses came into the shop today-âŚ. He.. bought flowers then handed them to me and uh. I think he was flirting.. oh gosh,,,
*The door of the flower shop creaked open and Midas walked in, fixing his hair with one hand and waving at Pinkie with the other*
âYo.â
*He slowly paced around the shop, looking over all the different flowers and seeds, clearly lost among all the options. He finally gave up and walked towards Pinkie, leaning on the counter with one hand as he spoke up*
âHey so.. Iâm looking for like fertilisers I guess? My roommate got this one plant heâs obsessed with, figured it would be a good gift.â
- Gear đ (@golden-gear-guy)
*pinkie had just finished helping another customer when gear had arrived, tapping his fingers against one another while he listened to gear speak*
fertil- oh yeah!! Thatâs what I forgot to do- thereâs some here I just.. kinda forgot to put it out- is that all?- oh- wait what kind of plant does your roommate have?
*he kept trailing off in his words, quite excited; not only to be seeing gear, but also because.. well.. plant talk, flowers.. he wanted to jump around and squeal because he was so full of.. energy!!! How could he not be?*
*Midas smiled softly, he appreciated Pinkieâs enthusiasm, even though he felt exhausted and generally awful about the whole holiday thing. He thought for a second, he should have asked Monty about that plant before coming here*
âOh mannn he told me I just.. uhh itâs a hoy..o? hoya? wax thing? Has roundish waxy leaves, itâs kinda strange.â
*His eyes traced over the various flowers that have been put out on display around the shop. He gestured to one of them, a bright red flower with a long stem, the petals of it curling around in wavy patterns, the stamens surrounding the petals all the way around in a round shape. It had a truly otherworldly look.*
âHmm. This one, whatâs this? Been seeing it around everywhere, it looks real cool.â
âHuh.. does vaguely look like a spider, yeah.â
*Midas cleared his throat as watched Pinkie walk to the back of the shop, his eyes traced around the other flowers, an uncomfortable expression creeping onto his face, his muscles tensing up in anticipation.*
âOkay listen.. Iâm sure you get this a hundred times a day, especially around this time of the year..â
*He didnât look at Pinkie when he came back, his gaze kept flickering back to the spider lilies, like they kept him in a trance, unable to get his eyes off of them. The more he looked the more his stomach churned with anxiety. He was not used to opening up like this, but he was truly desperate for help.*
âBasically, I really like someone, but itâs complicated, and iâm not sure if buying him something now would just make things worse. You must have some experience.. Help me out here, wonât you? What the hell do i do?â
*he had come back and set the fertilizer on the counter, figuring if he was buying anything else it would also be set there. He grew quiet listening to gear, the first sentence having his full attention; leaning in with curiosity. Humming while he took his mask off, setting it gently on the counter.*
hmmm.. canât say I have much experience with that but.. Iâd say fuck it, you know? Get him something, the worse he could do would be.. what? Say no? Not share the same feelings? That happens! And if it does; Iâll be right here! As someone to listen, give advice, a distraction or.. just a shoulder to cry on! So yeah, get him somethingâI have your back!
*he smiled lightly, to show that he was genuine and serious with what he said. He idly tapped at his mask with his pointer finger.*
if youâre looking for some meaningful flowers you could get him some pink camellias? Not only are they pretty but they symbolize longing.. but a 7 rose bouquet could also work!! Infatuation and wanting to be someoneâs- both are fairly good options for this kinda stuff!
âNo way, he must.. I mean. Thereâs just no way, you know. Weâre taking about me..â
*Gear mumbled in a cocky tone, although he wasnât sure if he really believed what he was saying. Maybe him saying no was the worst that could happen, but he just wasnât ready to hear that answer. Not in the slightest. Not when for once in his life he felt like someone actually understood him. It had to go well, there was no other option.*
âThanks Pinkie, appreciate it. Hope it wonât come to that..â
*He smiled at the other, seeing his face under the mask was a nice change of pace. Somehow he looked even more approachable and soft like this, which was very much already the case. Someone this genuinely kind wanting to be friends with him was definitely out of the ordinary.*
âHuhh both of those sound desperate as hell.. but not too far from the truth. Can you like make them all into one bouquet maybe? Feel like thatâll get the message across. That is if he knows about flower language which I seriously doubt.â
You really need to stop talking down about yourself, friend- youâre an amazing person!!.. even if you donât realize it.. sometimes it takes people a lot longer to figure that stuff out- and uh,, if it makes you feel any better; Iâm one of those people trying to figure stuff out. If worse comes to worse, we could figure out things together! I love doing things with people- itâs nice, and making people be happy is.. also really nice-
*pinkie let out a small giggle, clearing his throat while he took his beanie off to fix his hair. Over the winter it had gotten pretty long⌠and in the way. It was pretty though!! He liked it, so he was gonna try to keep it, once his hair was all settled he put his beanie back on and looked back at gear. Mostly looking at his forehead or nose. Never in the eyes.*
âall in oneâ you say? Oh yeah definitely I could make that work!! Though itâs not desperate at all! Itâs you expressing your genuine emotions the best you can! Itâs.. actually quite brave of you- I could never do that aha,, and even if he doesnât understand the meaning behind the flowers, heâll still have a thoughtful, beautiful gift for you!!!
*he fell silent for a moment, clearing his throat before stammering a bit*
ahm.. er.. sorry- sorry- got a bit too carried away with talking aha- just the bouquet and the fertilizer right?
*Gear smiled and let out a content sigh, his heart feeling fuzzy from all this encouragement. If his new friend was so sure about it then there was no way it could end bad.*
âIdunno if itâs brave or stupid honestly. Just feel like i need to act now, in case I wonât have an opportunity like this in the future yknow?â
*He watched as Pinkie fiddled around with his hair, it was nice, the fact that the other man felt so comfortable around him. It wasnât too comfortable to the point of recklessness, but he wasnât scared to be around him either, it was just right. Gear felt quite awful when coming here but now his mood could not get any better. He rummaged through his wallet, trying to think of a still appropriate amount to tip, ending up with three thousand gold in the end.*
âYep, thatâs all. Here, get yourself something nice from the rest.â
Well, brave or stupid.. youâre doing it! And Iâm proud that you are. Very fair to think that way I- understand that completely..
*he fell silent while he watched gear fumble with his wallet, eyes widening a little when he pulled out all the gold, awkwardly taking it with a smile*
well- Iâll go and get that bouquet ready and then youâll be all set!
*A familiar face strolls into the flower shop, a gift box under her arm and a smile. She glanced around for a bit, before walking right over to Pinkie. He tone was playful as she asked,*
So, what kinda flowers would you advise for a birthday?
- D
*pinkie had been tending to some flowers, not really registering that it was Desdemona and smiling under his mask while he spoke*
Iâve heard carnations are good for bir-âŚ. OHMYGOD MONA HI!!
*he squealed, practically throwing himself at her in a tight hug*
*Desdemona carefully set the gift box aside before catching Pinkie, hugging him tightly; it was so good to see one of her best friends!!*
I'm here to hang out!! I know its your birthday, and figured, if you're gonna be working, I might as well be here to help take a load off your shoulders!!
Plus, Guernsey had a gift for you.
*She tilts her head towards the gift box she set down.*
*pinkie genuinely could not contain his excitement, bouncing in place as he listened to her talk.*
well thank you for that then! That definitely helps thereâs so much going on because of the holiday and-.. a gift? Aw- tell guernsey I said thank you! Iâll be sure to open it later-.. I hav-.. WE have stuff to do!!
*he finally let go of her, shaking one of his hands just a little bit*
We do!! Oh, and tell me what you want for dinner; my birthday gift to you is relaxation, which means I'm going to do as much as possible for ya before I go home.
*She smiled warmly at Pinkie, happy to see him so happy. She was thrilled to be here, knowing she'd made the perfect decision for today.*
I- if it isnât too much trouble- maybe some dinner and movies after work? I was just planning on going to bed the moment I got home but-⌠food would be nice,,,
Of course, babes!! Nothing you asked for would be too much trouble, angel; especially not today. You're one of my best buddies, I like taking care of ya!!
*Desdemona gave him a warm smile, sticking nearby. She was going to make sure Pinkie had the most relaxation he could get today! He deserved it, and, probably needed it.*
*The door of the flower shop creaked open and Midas walked in, fixing his hair with one hand and waving at Pinkie with the other*
âYo.â
*He slowly paced around the shop, looking over all the different flowers and seeds, clearly lost among all the options. He finally gave up and walked towards Pinkie, leaning on the counter with one hand as he spoke up*

"Hey, Pinkie!! I know Valentine's is tomorrow and you're probably super busy but I just decided to stop by... I was wondering if you could help me pick out some flowers for my wife?"
@demon-hunter-hope
oh? Yes of course!! Are you looking for some with specific meanings or are you looking for her favorite?
hm.. no actually! Though the colors are often associated with being sadâflowers are a different story!! Blue flowers can symbolize peace, serenity, and openness, while purple flowers can symbolize royalty, elegance, and admiration!! I can make a little bouquet with those colored flowers if youâd like?
