VELVET ART LET’S GOOOOO

Polylights

Cabtube

Knickle

Knifecase

Baseball x Nickel x Balloon (idk remember what their ship name was lol)

Marshplebow

and Payjay?

You don’t have to all of these if you’re not feeling up to it I don’t mind. Have a great day!

P.s

I would have also asked about Cheesepickbomb but someone already beat me to it lol

YIPPEEEEEE THANKS FOR THE ASK

POLYLIGHTS

in a previous one of these i said „you know a ship is going to be good if it involves the core lights”. well this one has ALL OF THEM!!!!

sometimes i wish polylights meant ALL the bright lights together but like it doesn’t. but heyyy it doesn’t matter. these four are already BRILLIANT as a friendgroup, and they could make for a DAMN GOOD COUPLE!!!!!! i mean i already ship lightbulb with both testtube and paintbrush (HEAVY on testtube) so adding fan into the mix cant hurt anyone right???? every pairing you could have within this group would work out brilliantly. though just like generally any ship that involves testbulb is a ship i’m guaranteed to enjoy

headcanon: i feel like the ones that come up with the date ideas are usually fan and lightbulb, though usually their idea of a good date isn’t really… conventional. i’m talking teirlist making sessions, recreating themselves in cake form (and see whose is the most convincing), paintball fights, awful low-budget movie nights, getting pizza… on club penguin and other various things. testtube and paintbrush just go along with it most of the time (whatever makes their partners happy, i guess)

CABTUBE

OUGHHHHH BABY THE THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

look i can’t say these two invade my thoughts a lot but when they do it’s just. holy shit bro. GOD, TESTTUBE HANDING OUT CABBY’S FILES IN THIS EPIC BETRAYAL MADE ME SO ILL OMGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!! god i love themmmm actually omg. divorced yuri fr‼️‼️‼️‼️

headcanon: i haven’t watched iii in a while so you can point out if this is like. out of character or innacurate or whatever. but. i think cabby has long gotten over testtube. she misses her genius but she feels like testtube wouldn’t reallyyyy want to be friends again and she’s accepting that. testtube is a pro grudge holder and is often of the beleif that she is always the one in the right. but everything about her and cabby in iii keeps her up at night. i think she missed that relationship too. feels regretful. sighhhhh i love them

KNICKLE

i think of all knife ships to become canon i thiiiiiink it would be knickle mostly because of how brian talks about them. and like yesssss that would be cool howeverrrrrrrrr i feel like i’d prefer it to stay in fanon?? ON THE OTHER HAND i have seen SOOOOOO much brilliant fanarts of these two and it is just. idk man knickle fans are really convincing. they’re one of my favourite platonic duos but i can absolutely see them being a great couple!!

headcanon: kinda based off of a moment from a fic i read… i feel like these two may be a bit touch starved? but they can’t really properly touch anymore because knife is kinda. sorta. dead. but i think they’d find a way to get over that (idk the phrasing)?? like. maybe knife possesses pickle sometimes. maybe that’s their stand in for physical affection. or he possesses someone else and hugs pickle like that. (probably apple, she doesn’t seem to mind being possessed by others that much LMAO). i want them to still be able to play video games together but it would take knife having to learn how to hold things in his ghostly form and uh. bow and dough prefer the tv to be broken it seems

KNIFECASE

HGRGRGRHHRGRHRGJRGRHHRHRHRHHR MY YUUUUURRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII MY FINALIST YURI HGDUEGHSGSHHDJSNDJDNJDNDMSJKSHDJSBJS I’M SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO NORMAL OHHHH MY GODDDDDDD HRGRHGRHRGSHSKSNLSJSL

HOW CAN I NOT LOVE THESE TWO????? THE TWO OF THEM HAVE AFFECTED THEIR CHARACTERS SO MUCH. KNIFE GOT SUITCASE TO BE LESS OF A PUSHOVER, TO STAND UP FOR HERSELF MORE, TO MAKE HERSELF KNOWN, AND SUITCASE HELPED KNIFE BE A LITTLE KINDER, MORE VULNERABLE AND GENERALLY A MORE NICER/LESS SELFISH PERSON GODDDDDDDDD HRGGEHSGSNNDNDBSNSN goes insane goes completely insane. GAGGHHGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

the true „i could fix them” couple fr

headcanon: suitcase visits knife at the mansion constantly. they can’t do much because, well, again, knife is a ghost, so they just… talk. about everything. i feel like there’d be some talks on mental health, advice and all that… the two like to hear about eachother improving, progressing, getting better. what makes them happy is the knowledge that the other is happy :]

BICKLOON

look, bickel on its own is something i can absolutely get behind. baseball and his asshole fucking boyfriend that he loves despite everything. his fuckin. emo arc after nickel got eliminated in season two was hilarious to me 😭😭 but then you throw in nickloon which is not only a ship between two of my least favourite characters (i don’t HATE balloon per se (trophy ranks lower than him in my rankings) but i dislike him), but it’s also a dynamic i genuinely can’t stand. so yeah i. i don’t like bickloon sorry

godddd iii really just ruined balloon for me. and made me hate nickel even more. and made me despise every moment they spent on screen together THE BACK AND FORTH WAS SO ANNOYINGGGGGGG OH MY GOD THEY’RE SO DYSFUNCTIONAL THEY WILL NEVER WORK

ahem. no real headcanon. i just want to say baseball needs to get tf out of there if he knows what’s good for him

MARSHBOWPPLE

now THIS is the poly rep i can get behind!!!!!!! THEY’RE SUCH A FUN TRIO ALREADYYYYY YOU CAN’T TELL ME THEY’RE NOT DATING BRO

they’ve been through a lotttttt but they’ve gotten past that. as apple said in the purgatory party stream, it’s water under the bridge, fan. water under the bridge. i just think they’re neat… so silly… hoooooooo boy i love a good bit of object yuri

headcanon: obviously yes bow still possesses apple to get close with marsh, but i feel like at some point she’d feel like she’s kinda leaving out apple? so she starts to possess marsh too to give apple the physical affection she also needs. i feel like these three would be reaaalllyyy physically affectionate with eachother. also i just KNOW dough is constantly observing them like. he’s the third wheel, he’s your friend steve, he’s a bit marshbowpple shipper. that is all

PAYJAY

have been calling out their fruitiness since day one (may 2024. yeahhh i’m newgen) and they’re FINALLY CANON LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well yeah ok that’s old news by now but stilllllllll i’m not over it yet.

god they mean so much to me. look i tend to lean more towards yuri (or what i perceive as yuri) but goddddd these two. i’m obsessed with these two. i need all the angst and all the fluff and all the stupid funny shenanigans of them RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! they just make me so ill idek what to say. besides i love payjay ofc

PAYJAYING OUT‼️‼️‼️‼️

headcanon: after that argument in ii2 16 oj has started trying to put in an effort to include paper more, and try to do more things with paper. unfortunately a lot of the stuff they do is chores (the grind never stops for this motherfucker) so paper often has to be the one who plans their together activities because chores are better done together (and also important) but not exactly romantic?? other times he has to seperate oj from himself and be like. „you need rest. let me handle this”.

(snaps fingers in your face) hey wake up I'm about to commit atrocities.

ok stay with me here. I thought to myself "I could probably make a huge awful connected chain of ships and reach every ii contestant plus host" and then I did. twice. this is the third version. the written version.

disclaimer, a few of the ships listed I do not personally agree with but for the sake of making a big chain/net, I have to put my biases aside blah blah blah. that being said

okay so my starting point is the only poly I seriously ship as of right now lol (SPOILERS BTW)

lightbulb, paintbrush, test tube, fan

we'll start from test tube for this go through.

tt -> mic (testmic) -> soap (soapmic) -> pepper (I swear it's a thing I swear) -> salt

mic -> taco (tacomic) -> mepad (sourscreen?) -> toilet (toipad)

mic -> knife -> pickle -> bomb

knife (if you thought mic was carrying this whole thing before, well so is knife) -> suitcase -> balloon -> nickel -> baseball

suitcase -> box (which based on my hcs could get bow but we can wait on her it's fine)

box -> trophy (if you disagree post-finale, then knife also works as a connection) -> cheesy -> tissues

trophy -> blueberry -> lifering (?) -> tea kettle

tt (welcome back) -> clover -> candle -> silver spoon

tt -> cabby -> yinyang (?)

yinyang -> cherries (? idk they usually aren't included in shipping because the fandom sees them as kids? this is me grasping at straws, you can choose to count it or not)

yinyang -> dough (guys please... there's potential there... please don't run away... how tf was I going to use dough if not here...)

okay thanks test tube. painty's turn.

pb -> marshmallow (literally how is it a rarepair) -> apple -> bow (there she is!)

pb -> oj -> paper

oj -> mephone4 -> the floor

anticlimactic. thank you painty.

NOW. (paces floor (not the floor)) the observant few may have taken into account TWO missing contestants.

goo and bot.

impossible to reach, surely. bot is regarded as a child typically, but goo? he's our best shot.

getting goo also gets us bot because I've seen goobot show up a couple times

here's a little list of possible connections, in no particular order.

clover

cabby

yinyang

baseball

balloon

blueberry

unless you can find a more solid connection, that's the best I can do for you.

I can connect a few other characters too.

4s? knife

3gs? also knife

Steve Cobs? no
