a rlly big thing i’ve noticed abt them is that they’re both very self-reliant but also rely on each other in a way.

like both could stand their ground if they needed to fight but rely so heavily on the other??

like 4c’s only rlly still there bc of nom. and while (i think?) he could leave, he doesn’t. same for nominal. he could abandon 4c if he rlly wanted to but he doesn’t. not even when 4c steals from him on a regular basis.

which brings me to my next point.

neither want to be alone again.

they rely on each other not only bc they jst need to to survive but bc what happens if their abandoned again. what happens when the silence is filled with bickering? what happens when their finally alone?

also i feel like nom’s brain is actively trying to blame 4c for everything. like actively telling him that if he jst had killed 4c everything would be better. but then the other part of him realizes that if he were to kill 4c, he’d be alone.

so he blames himself for everything.

bc blaming and hating himself is better that hating 4c. bc he’s so much worse of a person than 4c is.

a another thing is neither are very angsty unless alone with like one person. which seems more like a ditch effort to make sure that the person won’t leave.

i haven’t seen anything like that with shan and nom but from some clips, he doesn’t rlly say anything unless he’s completely alone with one person. same goes for 4c.

they’re both loners. both outcasted (or at least threatened to be). both abandoned and lost. both mourning something that might have never been true.

it started off as a bounty over 4c’s head but it’s grown into so much more than that. it’s grown into an reliance that neither will turn their back on the other. neither will leave bc their the only real thing both have left.

(this is only written in my phone is if it’s rlly bad that’s why lol)

vsmp section :3

main reason i ship them in vsmp is bc of their first interaction being pyro complementing abolish outfit, they’re so adorable djjsjjjksjkajwaj :3

basically i rlly love them mainly bc pyro has always seen themself as a monster/outcast. he’s never belonged

but abolish doesn’t see rumor or expectations, he sees people for who they are. he forms his own opinions, leading to him viewing pyro has a human and not a monster (if that makes sense)

ALSO pyro has given abolish a wither rose (or multiple if forgo) and abolish jst accepted even tho it was after pyro had been turned.

and all the fanfiction is sooo good omgg <333

cbsmp section

they don’t interact too much in cowboys BUT doesn’t stop me from shipping them :3 (i have a fic of them dancing i just need to edit it)

there’s also a short posted by abolish of him sneaking up on pyro which is amazing :3 and also jst their banter in the yahtzee is soo fun (specially the moment where graecie says she’s the only american and they jst slowly look at each other)

others section

they haven’t rlly interacted elsewhere (from what i’ve seen) BUT pyro was part of this project called WHITEPINE, the story follows a maid, ivory, as she adjusts to the hemlock estate!! and pyro is the eldest son of the hemlocks :3

which ofc caused me to create an au where “butler” abolish is assigned to whitepine instead of oakhurst and meets pyro :3

i have more but i don’t want to make this too long (also sorry fk this isn’t what u meant im not very smart :3)

okay so basically hrkjgbkelajr he's literally probably one of my favorite sm omg i love him <3333 (im very normal abt this guy i swear) like hes so sdfnfs;jknhfsk yk? like omg im so excited for his backstory bc according to him (i think?) we're getting it next episode!!!!

i only watch 2 povs (but im very close to watching pyro's lol) and AAAH i love watching his pov so much <33 (literally right after watching his pov i wrote 5k of him lol <3)

its so cinematic and pretty plus all of the flashback stuff to the church makes me so excited to learn his backstory!!!

uhhh okay on to more of his character!!

i rlly love his character so much omg <33!! he feels very silent but deadly in a way yk? especially since he can and will hold himself in a fight if need be <3 and im rlly excited to see him fully just go insane and kill like everyone <3

ESPECIALLY bc of how much ppl seem to underestimate him!! he's constantly talked over, and when he says something important no one rlly pays attention which adds fuel to the fire

he's gotten to the point where he doesnt care anymore, he literally found the last book for the cure and didn't tell anyone bc why would he? they didn't listen and now they wont get the cure (idk if thats his exact thoughts but that would be what i would be thinking lol)

not to mention the whole "time to get back in character" like.... omg bro like whAT DOES THAT MEAN SIR??? i love him sm and his backstory's gonna add so much and e;fhesk;jdnfk;jsdf; im so excited yall omgggg

i could go on for days on how much i love v!abolish lol <3 (but this is rambley enough lol)(also this makes absolutely no sense lol sorry <3)

i have seen them and tbh i’m fine w them lol. ofc im kinda sad abt firelocke and stuff but i’ll be fine <3

i understand how u feel like it’s “cutting the fandom off” but the thing is, while shipping is a very major part of fandoms it’s not the entirety

while fandoms do typically focus on romantic relationships, there are so many other types of relationships like platonic, found family, etc and tbh i rly love those types of relationships and wish ppl talked abt them more. ppl do tend to forget that there’s more to fandoms then jst shipping culture.

so imo they are not cutting off the fandom, they jst changed their boundaries to be more comfortable in the fandom and that’s okay!!

while ppl can be disappointed abt this, please don’t be angry with either of them and please respect their boundaries. it’s their decision and ppl should respect it.

imo we should always follow cc’s boundaries no matter how we feel abt them and ik some ppl might get mad at me for saying that and that’s okay we can all agree to disagree. i will be leaving all of my fics and posts that ship pyros character up but will be following their boundaries from this point on. idk what i’m gonna do abt ghostlilies but that’s something i’ll figure out later

ofc all of this is my opinion, u can have ur own but please be respectful of everyone’s opinions okay? (please don’t be mad in the comments, u can share ur opinions but be nice)

(though i do have also say that it was super weird that pyro threatened his fans? idk what exactly happened so i can’t fully say, but from what ive seen his said he’d send ppl after ppl who don’t follow his boundaries?? idk that parts weird tbh)
