Wait I just remembered that Announcer called Sticker his favorite. Looking at it further, I think it's because of the playful but moderately ruthless exuberance. She's impulsive and they're not afraid to bend the rules much like he does. I know Announcer can be seemingly clueless to Sticker's antics, but now I wonder if he's doing that on purpose... And maybe he's not as oblivious as he seems? But Announcer, I'd argue, is way more cruel than him in some aspects. If he tried to make a connection with Sticker, he'd probably fall flat on account of Sticker finding it awkward and a bit too much. Something like.. Announcer: (saying it discreetly) I happen to boil contestants in tar sometimes. Sticker: What. Announcer: It is funny. You should try it. The tar. Sticker: N. No thanks, I'm good. Announcer: Lava? Sticker: Ehhhh. (thinking: well, I DO like lava but....)

I haven't kept up with TPOT in ages but that new episode's thumbnail compels me...

Ok ok so. Sticker is a loveless aro. Toothpaste is lithromantic. Money is grayromantic and bi. Beach Ball has alterous attraction. Rose is bellusromantic and loveless too. Needy is also grayromantic but a lesbian. Jammy is another lesbian. David is gay. So is Hotdog. Ruler struggles with internalized and externalized aphobia + heteronormativity but he is definitely aro. Fern is bi aaand Sidewalky is bi! Yes? Yes. These are my thoughts. I would like to go more in depth with them but I wanted to get them down for now. I'm not too good with words.
