VALENTINES DAY WAS YESTERDAY BUT WHO CARES, LOVE IS A PERMANENT CHANGE TO THE UNIVERSE, Y'ALL. AHEM.

After being rescued from the factory, the toys spent their first Valentine's Day mostly walking around. Nobody was together in a romantic way with each other, but many of them wanted to see all the Valentine's themed decoration around. In the next day, Angel got everyone discount chocolates to eat, and thus a family tradition was born. Every year, they all get chocolates on the 15th of February to gift to each other and eat together. It's mostly platonic, of course, but eventually some of the couples start becoming Sappy(tm):

Dogday and Catnap like taking a long walk with each other. They don't like going anywhere during Valentine's. All too expensive, and they go out with each other enough for it to not be a special occasion for them anymore. So a walk it is, normally combined with a picnic with the two of them;

Marie and Delight normally go to a restaurant together. It's Marie who makes the reservations, and she is REALLY picky about her options. She wants the best for Delight and will not tolerate anything lesser than perfection! Delight is more chill, but every single year since they got together she crochets Marie a scarf with hearts on it for her to wear. These are her favorite scarfs, even if they clash with her darker clothes;

Hoppy is the type of person who only remembers about Valentine's at the very last second, and so she runs around town grabbing gifts for Bobby before writing her a huge letter. Bobby likes gifting Hoppy chocolate and new protection gear for her to wear. They normally spent the day outside just having fun together;

Kickin and Bubba are Extremely casual about the whole thing, but Kickin is kinda sappy and so he always gets Bubba a new book on Valentine's day. Bubba started finding weird-looking pairs of glasses for Kickin after that, and thus it's their tradition to gift each other weird books and glasses. And then the next day they start a competition to find the cheapest and biggest chocolate possible;

Maggie and Piggy like taking a long walk together and having a picnic after it, similar to Dogday and Catnap, except they bake each other food. If they don't do that, then they go watch a movie together because why not!

And, of course...

Angel and the Prototype do not care about Valentine's day, but they sure love all the discount chocolate on the 15th. Angel usually grabs the most stupid-looking Valentines merch they can find before throwing it at him like "look at this weird thing I found". The response is usually an amused "uh, how strange" from Proto.

It's Bobby's favorite holiday, and Kissy and Poppy normally join her for the chaos. Baba HATES Valentines because to her it's just an excuse to sell more stuff, but the others sure love ANNOYING her about it. It has become a competition to see who can annoy her more.
