ㅤA wave of nostalgia had led John to do something that always had Pico mortified: going through his collection of Pico's childhood photos. Those had been one of the few things John insisted on taking when he adopted the kid, and he made no secret of how much he loved them.

ㅤHe'd gone out of his way years ago to cut Pico's blood relatives out of any photos that had them — not purely out of spite, but because the kid got that distant look in his eyes whenever he saw them. The one exception, of course, being Otis.

ㅤ“ You were, what, two here ? Three ? And you still held your newborn cousin like he was made of glass. ”

ㅤBaby Pico had been all chubby cheeks, messy red hair, and wide eyes without a single thought behind them, but still as gentle as could be. Always good to know some things never change.

visiting philadelphia was never something tamora would describe as high on her bucket list, but it just so happened she didn’t have much of a choice in the matter.  when what was meant to be a quick stop to get off one plane and onto another for a layover at the cities airport had turned into said flight getting cancelled instead, leaving her stuck there until the airline could get another one scheduled. after spending the entire day sitting around, aimlessly scrolling on her phone as she waited for a plane that never came, spending the rest of her evening doing much of the same but in her complimentary hotel room instead wasn’t all that appealing. after dumping her luggage off in said room, she decided to head out into the streets and simply see where her feet would take her. the bar she eventually ended up at wouldn't be her first choice if she had other options—the entire place and the patrons within had an energy that could best be described as ‘crass, loud and ever so slightly sticky’ if you were trying to phrase it politely and was a touch too crowded for her tastes—but she didn’t have the willpower or energy to try and find somewhere better. it would just have to do. and for the first while, it was fine. with a quick stop at the bar and a drink acquired, she had settled herself down in an unoccupied table off to the side, content to nurse her glass and people-watch. anyone who tried to bother her was thankfully spooked away by a well placed glare, allowing her to enjoy herself in peace.

everything, unfortunately, seemed to go to shit after she got up to grab a second drink. one moment, she was leaned against the bar-top, waiting for the bartender to come take her order, and the next she was darting backwards as someone was suddenly getting their teeth smashed in on the counter. she had no idea what had instigated a fight but whatever it was had snowballed into a full on bar brawl. out of the corner of her eye she saw the flash of something flying through the air. it was through sheer instinct alone that she grabbed the stranger next to her by the shirt and yanked him out of the way in time. the bottle—which had been careening towards the back of his skull a moment before—shattered in an explosion of glass and liquor against the wall.

“dumbass fucking—" she bit back the insult. as much as these idiots around her deserved it, now probably wasn't the time to give anyone encouragement to sock her in the jaw. she instead turned to look at him. "are you alright? nothing hit you?”

HAMMY RAMBLES ABOUT OTHERS (Always accepting).

MY OPINION ON;

Character in general: Every time I think about Pico I always remember this one Playable Parappa mod where he gets a Pico Mix and, Idk, especially the final bit of the song? Where he starts going on a bit of tangent about how he's rapping with a literal talking dog and seems to be having a great time? That's it, that's how I have always viewed him. Pico as a character has always been interesting to me because, while there is a bottom line as to how he should be portrayed, everyone has their own twist when including him in animations and games. He really is the embodiment of "Everything By Everyone", a canvas for everyone to add their colors on. Though, if we talk from an FNF perspective, I am definitely a Babysitter!Pico Truther and a MASSIVE sucker for the Jerk with a Heart of Gold trope, which fits him like a glove. Also I was there for when the whole Pico/Lila ship was popular so... yeah. He can be a merc while also being a pretty normal guy that can babysit two rambunctious kids on the side, y'know?

How they play them: I LOVE UNCLE PICO!! But not just that, let me start from the top: I think Ben's Pico is complex. A character with Pico's grisly background opens the door to a lot of psychological and inner exploration, which is one of the things Ben excels at. He has a very solid grasp of Pico's flaws, his psychological profile, all the small things that make him... difficult, if you catch my drift. But not just that, because some of my favorite things Ben has written involve Pico's daily life, when things are "most normal". Of course, this is my bias talking, because those bits usually involve Pico interacting with Pump. Because, well, I think those are the moments where Pico feels the most... organic? Real? Idk what word to use here, but little things like NOT cussing around kids and wanting to be an okay influence around them is always very endearing to me?? I'm sure he has demons to fight every waking moment, but I love those moments of solace he gets, and Ben just does such a GREAT JOB showing them... Love Uncle Pico.

The Mun: BEN, I GAVE YOU MY DISCORD AND NEVER DM'D YOU, I'M SO SORRY!! 😭😭 That aside, though?? I'm happy Ben has been a constant presence in my Dash ever since I made this blog. He was one of my first RP partners, one of the first people I pre-established relationship with, we go FAR BACK, just check the tag!! Ben is also one of the reasons I have kept my blog's FNF Verse around, considering back in the day (and, technically, now still) there weren't many FNF muses. He's a diamond in the dirt, very invested in the muses he writes, and ESPECIALLY the psychology behind each and every one of them. I think he knows what he's talking about, and all of his metas and character explorations are very interesting to me?? Which is why I recommend reading his OOC tag, because it adds an extra layer to Pico's blog.

DO I:

RP with them: YEYEYEYEYE, even if I'm slow as molasses!! Ben is always insanely active and I WISH I could match a fraction of that reply speed, wow.

Want to RP with them: ALWAYS!! I'm always down for more shenanigans between him and my son!! Especially now that he met Pico's dad?? Bubby, you have one hell of a storm coming lol.

WHAT IS MY;

And this is a case where the artstyle DOES matter because this...

... It’s a rather... quiet day today...

Perhaps a little too quiet.

Have you heard from your friends recently, Pico? It’s been at least two days since the last text from either one of them, hasn’t it?

Are they busy perha-

Oh.

A buzz from your phone. Spoke too soon, it seems.

It appears to be a text from Nene. No... text, but apparently an attachment, according to the notification.

Do you open it?

𓏶✧♫✧♪ || " So tell me... ...Why exactly is that boy still alive..? " The inevitable question had to be asked, with a pinch to his heavy brow. He shrugs his hands. " The hell's the matter with you?! He should be nothing but a chalk outline by now! Don't tell me the runt somehow outgunned you... "

    🦇: ̗̀➛ As entertaining as it was watching the ginger blabble about angry nonsense, it was growing to be annoying, his ears could only handle so much bullshit till he snaps and someone ends up with a chair in the eye. He doesn't even know how it started, one minute he was reading with a cup of coffee like he normally is and the next Pico and some rando are arguing about hell knows what, all he knows was that his name was thrown around and he can't have that. Sighing, he quietly put down his coffee as he watched his bastardly sexual 'friend' walks off for what's most likely a smoke.
