#thistlerock

20 strength boyf riends delight in being the only people in their circle who can pick each other up and then spin around ok. All cutesy. (Well Ayda can do it to Gorgug. And has carried him a little for fun probably. But not Ragh I think.) Does Ragh like being the big guy yes absolutely is it nice to be picked up and held every once in a while also yes let him have this.

Gorgug straight up just doesn't like that he's taller than everyone (at least at first I do think he gets more comfortable in his body) and likes that Ragh makes him feel less big and imposing. In fact Ragh keeps telling him he needs to bulk up he's so small. Him! Small! Complicated feelings arise. I think about them often.

Here we’ve got..

Oisin, K2, and Gilear for the first time [I know enough about the others from clips or fandom posts for some memes.]

Implied Lesbian Fig (and Gilear for the bit)

Oisin x Adaine/Inkblade (I just know that the fandom portrays Oisin as afraid of Adaine cause she’s a bit crazy)

Trackerbees, Goragh/Thistlerock, Fabriz, and the Adaine/Riz/Fabian ship I was talking about in my asks are here as well

Masterpost:

(Gorgug also has a phase where he's rubbing his tusks on EVERYONE he cares about, constantly. Ragh, obviously, but also Zelda, his party, his parents, bloodrush teammates, other friends like Max Durden. He calms down after a bit and starts only doing it as a greeting or occasionally as a comfort thing when he or one of the Bad Kids is upset, but he never quite gets out of the habit of nuzzling up to Ragh at any given opportunity.)

(Also in terms of who I think is/was most to least appreciative of the nuzzling:

Ragh (obviously)

Both sets of Gorgug's parents

Fig (frequently tries to reciprocate, has had to be stopped at least twice bc she was drunk and almost took out Gorgug's eye with her horns)

Lydia (obviously Ragh was the only one who did it with her for a while, and as an elder family member SHE'S usually the one doing the nuzzling. But she was extremely delighted when Gorgug (and later Fabian) first leaned down to be nuzzled)

Zelda (unfortunately got embarrassed whenever Gorgug started nuzzling and did that "Nooo, what are you doing, stoppit 🥰 don't actually stop tho" thing some people do. But Gorgug took it seriously and stopped, and it was close enough to them breaking up that they never actually talked about it.)

Kristen (also frequently tries to reciprocate, much more successfully)

Gorthalax

Jawbone

Sandra Lynn (after she and Jawbone start dating Lydia)

Tracker (when Ragh does it. That's her bestie)

Fabian (appreciates the affection, would be higher on this list if it weren't for the fact that he's super touch starved and having Gorgug (and Ragh) nuzzle his face like that makes him feel like he's dying. It's a lot, okay? He needs some time to adjust)

Adaine (also appreciates the affection, but just isn't a huge fan of someone rubbing their face on her face. She prefers hugs.)

Tracker (when Gorgug does it. She doesn't hate it, it's just a neutral act to her, like saying good morning as a greeting)

Sandra Lynn (before starting to date Lydia)

Riz (has been fully knocked over by Gorgug or Ragh doing it too enthusiastically while drunk one too many times. Still has been known to climb up their shoulders for a nuzzle on occasion)

Sklonda (will accept it, does not initiate)

(Forgot to add) Ayda (finds it somewhat offputting, will nonetheless allow a short nuzzle at her jaw if she hasn't seen Gorgug or Ragh in a while. Has firmly forbidden any nuzzling of her temple due to the fact that her hair is made of fire)
