🩷HOOPS🩷

♡ he/any

♡ gender is unimportant, just like whether or not his coffee has foam on top or not. still gonna drink it AND it's still gonna taste SO. GOOD.

♡ bisexual and arospec

♡ in a QPR with Yoyo (+poly with Piddles)

♡ had a part-time job as a waiter while also working at Hallmark at the same time back then (hc taken from The Big Sneeze e-card)

♡ she used to live outside the city by herself (Couldn't Sleep e-card)

♡ ever since he forgot to say thank you, then headed by ferry, drove into the city late at night, and finally found the correct apartment complex and floor where Yoyo lived—that was the moment they both realized they'd be best friends from that day forward.

♡ Piddles had only told them that Yoyo lived nearby.

♡ likes any and all kinds of coffee, straight up black, with cream, milk or no milk, sugar, expresso, cappuccino, etc.

♡ looks for coffee mugs whenever out at garage sales or thrifting. They all have matching ones, and if it was up to him, their kitchen cabinets would be filled with SO MANY more of them

♡ also a huge fan of coffee flavored (+scented) things like coffee cake, coffee ice cream, etc.

♡ took French classes in high school, although never fully learned how to speak it fluently or entirely understand it and simply enjoys putting on the accent (hc derived from Oui, I miss you and Birthday in Paris e-cards)

♡ just loves randomly putting on accents, impressions & funny voices whenever she can

♡ a bit of a hopeless romantic and yet a total nervous wreck when it comes to actually expressing affection (I love you e-card)

♡ matching best friend bracelets with Yoyo

♡ can become easily irritated, impatient and grumpy, has a bit of a temper/anger issues

♡ has coffee get-togethers with Puck

♡ "Newbie" tags a long too bc they're their own little trio besides the main three

♡ isn't really that active on social media a lot (more of a physical media guy) and only uses it to post the occasional photo here and there

♡ lets Yoyo borrow their old (yet well-kept and still working) iPod whenever he goes out on walks

♡ still doing the podcast, although it's more of a personal fun project thing now rather than anything affiliated with Hallmark.

♡ has matching lockscreens w/ Yoyo

♡ his phone's homescreen is donut-themed, but he's the type who can't stick to one for too long, and so is always changing it

♡ Yoyo and Piddles really did help her get out of her shell more, be more comfortable, confident, etc. They used to be really introverted, soft-spoken and shy, especially when he first started working at Hallmark (hc taken from the Friendship animation/e-card which just so happens to be the first time Hoops ever spoke)

💚YOYO💚

☆ he/him

☆ unlabeled

☆ in a QPR with Hoops

☆ dating Piddles (poly)

☆ used to live by himself in an apartment complex before ultimately moving in together with Hoops and Piddles (Couldn't Sleep e-card)

☆ knows some and has been continuing to learn Spanish thanks to Piddles. He enjoys rolling his Rs and making her upset by saying some words incorrectly on purpose.

☆ no longer celebrates Cinco de Mayo anymore and instead the actual important Mexican holiday on the 16th of September: Día de la Independencia as well as Día de los Muertos/the Day of the Dead

☆ in the 'Miss Your Smile' e-card, he was staying at Hoops' old place which they decided to make into a vacation home that they all go to during the summer and winter or just whenever they have the chance to get out of the city for a bit.

☆ used to be in band back in middle and high school, the saxophone has never let him down ever since, and it's one of his favorite instruments! He loves jazz sm🎷 (hc derived from the 'Yoyo's Silent Night' and 'Happy Birthday, America!' e-cards)

☆ matching best friend bracelets with Yoyo

☆ he's the youngest out of the three

☆ was the newest/recent hire at Hallmark at the time (before "Newbie")

💙PIDDLES💙

• she/her

• doesn't openly express nor really care that much about labels tbh

• dating Hoops & Yoyo (poly)

• SHES HISPANIC BABY WOOOOOOOOO ITS PRETTY MUCH CANON ANYWAYS BC SHES CANONICALLY BILINGUAL & IM HALLMARK

• a bit of an overshopper

• her financial situation was (and probably still is) messy after the halloween special

• Hoops and Yoyo occasionally buy stuff using her money if she's in a good mood that day, Yoyo owes her $20.

• actually it's $50 but one part of her doesn't have the heart to tell him that while the other knows he'd never get around to paying her back

• usually is the one who goes grocery shopping while Hoops and Yoyo get distracted and somehow get lost or try to convince her to buy as many snacks and pastries as possible

• "Sprinkles" was/still is a nickname given due to her size, blue fur color, and essentially being as sweet as the sprinkles on a donut! Hoops and Yoyo tease her from time to time by 'accidentally' calling her that whenever she's lecturing them or being her usual cautious self...or whenever she's in a bit of a grumpy mood is also fun too

• Penelope is her middle name

• was in choir back in middle and high school

• prefers her coffee not too sweet + a bit bitter

• also likes tea

• surprisingly gets really competitive in sports

• was the one who scheduled multiple interventions for Yoyo's cinnamon bun addiction

• her and Yoyo are the more 'couple-y' of the polycule, while with Hoops, they like to spend more relaxed, quiet moments together and aren't too showy in their affection
