#candy maker

So most of this is going to be covered (from a very biased point of view) In the next tallman tail, So I'm not going to go into super detail about how Jason got to the point of summoning a Eldridge creature... All you need to know is Jason was going through some serious shit with slender man and was in desperate need of any kind of help.

So in steps Candy pop, and the 2 strike up a deal. Jason will be Candy pop's anchor to reality and in exchange Candy pop will create a space the slenderman cannot breach and also make him leave Britain. And he does!! Candy pop is able to collaborate with the no end house and several other members of his species to make the underwhelm.

Since slenderman is gone there's a power vacuum that Jason feels becoming the defacto leader of the underrealm! Candy pop works as his second in command. Due to the deal-making them extremely close by need and working together for like a couple decades they begin to be more than friends...

Neither of them ever made it official when they started "dating", But by the time the 1890s roll around they share a bed and it is obvious to everyone in the underrealm they are together. And the relationship is surprisingly healthy. Now enough of the explaining time to get into the headcannon /relationship tidbits!!!

- As you see from the little doodle I did when Candy pop first came to reality he looked weird... Everything from the unreality only has a warped view of the real world, Only negative awful things end up there. So That was Candy pops and genuine attempt at what he thought a person looked like.

- Due to prolonged exposure, Jason begins to rot while still alive. Candy pop is the only one who knows what Jason actually looks like. Jason generally does not like being perceived as Ugly (which he is).

- They bicker and fight like an old married couple all the time but they do care about each other.

- Jason likes to think that no one in the underrealm knows that him and candy are together but everybody does. It is a common joke in fact.

- Candy hangs out with people like Nathan and his sister candy cane. Jason does not he's an antisocial little weirdo who would rather play around with his toys and make more wax women statues.

- Out of the 2 of them Candy pop is much stronger. He's where all of Jason's little magic tricks come from. You're very happy to let everyone think that Jason is magic, because it makes his partner happy.
