#allen float

New Allen reference. I also didn't really add stats for him before, so here.

Name: Allen Beera

Gender: Male (cis)

Age (At beginning of the game/show): 39 (April 2nd, 1891)

Species: Root Beer (Irish Glass Mug)

Sexuality: Gay (Closeted except to Sunne who's dead)

Kids: Rooty Beera Float

More info/backstory: Allen's really quiet and tries to keep to himself. He met his "wife" Sunne as a teen, and they hit it off as friends quickly. Allen hadn't had a friend until then. Or anyone who wanted to even interact with him. So, he ended up loving her, but differently than she loved him. He loved her as a best friend, she loved him with a crush. However, Allen didn't realize he had a platonic love for her until their first kiss, and it didn't feel quite right. He explains his feelings, and she understands. However, their parents would never understand, and due to speculations on Allen, they force the two to get married. Jokes on them, Allen and Sunne are 100% okay with being besties and living with one another. Forever sleepover.

Though one day, Sunne brought up the fact she wanted a baby. Not that she wanted him to be the dad, but just it was one of the things she wanted some day in her life, to be a mom. Despite the time's surrogacy having to be one-on-one, he offered to be the surrogate dad. Soon, they find out the news about Rooty and are actually excited. Scared, worried, but excited. And who better to raise a kid with than your best friend? That is, until you don't get to raise that kid with your best friend, because she's no longer here. When Sunne passed away after having Rooty, Allen felt like he lost a piece of himself, but also gained one. Did he have any clue what he was doing as a dad? No, absolutely not, not on his own. But he wasn't about to just give her up; he had to try.

Despite his job being dangerous for what it's worth (Coal miner) and literally being the death of him eventually, he kept at it until he physically could not anymore. At that, it barely was enough to feed him and his kid and pay the bills. (Sometimes he pickpockets to get dinner on the table, a trick Rooty caught him doing and learned herself.)

That being said, he's constantly tired, hungry, and just wants to take care of Rooty. Though, that means he rarely has any moments to spare to actually bond with her. He feels guilty for it, even though he's trying his best.

Before he does pass away from black lung, he does get to see Rooty get married, and meet both of his grandbabies who he loves very much.

Extra: Tw: Physical Discipline (one hit)

No no! It's fine, I get it, every family is a little different.

Cuphead, Mugman, ect siblings, call Tea either "Mama" or "Ma" or in desperate situations "MAAAAAAA" when they fell in a hole or something.

The girls call Joe "Daddy" more often than not, and boys call Joe "Dad" usually, but they have their moments where they're scared or want something and call him Daddy as well. Usually the latter.

As for Cuphead and Flower with their girls, they call them "Daddy" and "Mama."

Shire calls Mugman and Rooty "Papa" and "Mom" or if he's scared he says "Mama" same with Lace.

Teo calls Chalice and Puff "Mom and Mama"

All the grandkids call Tea and Joe "Granny and Grampa"

Shire calls Allen "Grandpa" (For the short time he knows him.) and calls Sketch "Grandy" since they're nonbinary

Mint and Honey call Betty "Gramma"

And Teo calls Big (Puff's dad who I'll post his ref soon istg, and yes, that's his name lmfao it's a pun) "PawPaw" (which is yes, a wolf pun ofc)
