Things Apo Calls People:

Cherri

Starting off canon! Apo calls Cherri "beloved", "love" and "my lady" in the series, but I think we should add "dear", "dearest", “blossom”/“my blossom” and of course, "sunshine" for maximum Gay Emotional Damage

Pyro

I'm thinking Pyro would get "sweetness" and "pretty boy" (also "pretty girl" if we wanted to get fun with it) and the good ol fashioned "puddin'"

I'm also strangely fond of "cygnet" (a cygnet is a baby swan. btw) because it's cute and also something something the ugly duckling was never an ugly duckling it was a swan being judged by the standards of ducks. you get it

Legs

In my heart, Legs really likes petnames. He'd never tell you that though, because of The Guilt and masculine sterotypes but also mostly The Guilt

anyway Apo calls him "honey" and "darling" and "sugar" and “pretty baby” and “peaches”

they are so cutes

Abolish

I think these two would be a “no petnames” couple for a bit and then suddenly a switch gets flicked and Abolish starts getting hit with “pretty boy” and “little prince”/“my prince” and “pretty baby” and sometimes “raven”/“my raven”

Shelby

these two are absolutely a case of “princess” (derogatory) to “princess” (sexually charged). I know this in my heart

Shelby also gets “bunny”, “sugarplum” and sometimes teasingly “peanut”

Avid

Apo calls him “princess” and “sweet pea” and sometimes “angelface” or “ducky”

Drift

Drift gets “little prince”/“my prince” etc and “pumpkin” and “darling” and “lovebug”

Cleo

I think Apo would jokingly call them “sugar tits” lmao—

but also “petal” and “Cupid” and “love”/“my love”

Martyn

well she still definitely calls him “rich boy”—but also “baby boy” and “pretty boy” and sometimes just “my boy”

she also calls him an asshole. affectionately

Pearl

Pearl gets “rose”/“my rose”

Things Apo Gets Called:

Cherri

Cherri calls Apo “baby” and “darling” and “honey” and “sweet thing” and sometimes “apple of my eye”/“apple” or “pigeon”!

Pyro

I think Pyro ends up calling her “rainstorm” or “coffee”/“coffecake”/“coffecakes” he’s a student. He likes coffee. Coffee=good=Apo

Legs

Legs calls her “sweetness” and “pet” and “angel” <3

Abolish

Abolish rarely uses petnames, however he sometimes calls her “dove”

Shelby

…I think Shelby would unironically call her “snookums” and “pookie”(Apo gets flustered but doesn’t mind)

Shelby also calls her “boo”/“my boo” and “baby/my baby”!

Avid

Avid’s chosen petnames are “sweet potato” and “kitty cat” and “apple blossom”

Drift

Drift doesn’t use petnames for a while, but eventually starts calling them “my lady”/“m’lady” and even more eventually “pretty bird”/“pretty girl”

Cleo

Cleo takes to calling Apo “Apple” and that is…about it

(secret bonus Cleo starts calling her kitten)

Martyn

“Miss Militia”/“Lady Militia” ofc but also “m’lady” and sometimes jokingly “ma’am”

also “babe” sometimes

Pearl

APPLEROT

This two are just so obsessed with each other in a bad way. Their perspectives are so opposed but they still need the other to 'see the light' even though every time they try it turns into an argument that makes everyone in the room feel like they're third-wheeling a failing marriage.

It could be enemies to lovers, but during episodes 3 and 4 when these 2 had that solidarity with each other their dynamic was so interesting, both being victims of the coven (particularly Scott) and almost standing together. That fact that they had a falling out and ended up hating each other is just a bonus that makes their dynamic more spicy

Yuri so toxic it’s radioactive They hate each other so much they need to kiss about it Really tho they both have a sardonic, sarcastic sense of humor, are ruthless survivors, and will not hesitate to end anyone who threatens their beloved

Toxic Yuri to balance out all the happy endings with got in final /j

stuck in this mess together

People sleep on the fact that V!Cleo hated the way V!Apo almost was trusted entirely by all vampires before her as V!Cleo then sabotaged V!Apo chances to like being a vampire and be accepted as one. They could have been enemies to lovers

THEYRE SO TOXIC YURI ONCE THEYRE BOTH TURNED. SO TOXIC YURI. they cant STAND each other. the tension between them at the end of ep 4 on the way to the ruined tower with legundo is PALPABLE. they cant STAND the way the other is going about their situation. i love them so dearly. please everyone get more rottenapple toxic yuri pilled itd be beneficial for society 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

I could go on and on about their relationship but tbh just their divorced energy does it for me. They act like exes it's so entertaining to me. Whenever someone breaks up their fighting both of them are like "it's nothing…we're fine" like okay did Scott file the divorce papers lmao??? Absolute peak everyone is sleeping on it

theyre so snippy at eachother i love tgem

yeah i know yuri won but what if the yuri was toxic af. like Super Toxic.

They hate eachother in a deeply homoerotic way<3 kismesis or whatever you call it. Stuck in the same horrid situation and refuses to work together<3 also "you and your precious guilt" drives me insane<3

Dude they hate eachother and they’re real gay about it dudeeeeee they’re parallels bro dude they’re the same person and they hate eachother for it bro that scene at the end of episode three??? The whole keep it together bit wht??? That’s so gay bro and the finale with them fighting and fighting til the townsfolk were basically telling them to get a damn room??? What??? They’re literally in love dude

LOVINGSTAKE

Realistically ofc I don’t think they could ever be healthy together, but I really love the idea of two individuals who crave belonging with very opposite views and ideals absolutely RUINING eachother. Optimism vs. Pessimism a tale as old as time. Owen in the beginning, while willing to indulge, had no genuine faith in the coven. But yet as it progressed, there was these desperate moments of trying to keep coven members like Shelby close by by isolating her, tampering with avids message, even keeping the skull left inside because he would rather hold on to it in death then see Shelby see avid in any sort of redeeming light. CC!Owen on Twitter even mentioned that if Shelby were to try and excommunicate him from the family he would’ve thrown it at her feet and tell her that he was “Protecting” her (yk like a liar..). And Shelby, someone who didn't want to hurt anybody and saw the coven as a source of comfort and trust, eventually saw violence as something inevitable and even killed her own coven member due to Owen’s influence and actions. During the beach confrontation with Cleo, Pearl, and drift she defends him and believes that she can get through to him and that there’s smth good in him. Don’t even talk to me about the whole bridge scene, “would he have feared the monster he created?” (FUCK HIM UP SHELBY!!). Also call this a reach but I’d like to think That Owen saw so much of Louis in Shelby… They’re Kindness and somewhat gracious acceptance, her slightly naive pacifism and wanting to coexist with the humans, her loyalty to those she cares about and them even TURNING another sick man (avid) BECAUSE they care for them.. and if said the importance of “Fire” in Shelby’s narrative… anyways long useless rant I just think they’re dynamic is very interesting and has so much potential ^^

tbey have some weird crazy toxic relationship going on idk. owen is constantly actively manipulating shelby into staying with the coven and shelby is ignoring all the obvious red flags. i think they should get even weirder with it

she's like, the one person Owen genuinely cares for.. also he's a long-haired, morally-questionable, dead-wife(husband)-having, angsty dark romance boyfriend.. you cannot tell me Shelby wouldn't be interested
