Tbh I was a little disappointed when Brown didn't really say anything about Purple's story when they were waiting in Oxygen. They and Yellow would probably understand Purple's hate for the company more than anyone and I think they'd bond over past experiences.

Purple, Yellow, Brown friendship! You're a genius!

Yeah, I was really waiting on some solidarity or something after Purple's story, but it never came. Here's some headcanons to rectify this issue.

Yellow and Brown are very picky about their union. Not only is it pretty personal to their relationship (whatever it is), but they see it as the only way to maintain control over their lives under MIRA. They know that inviting the wrong crewmate or getting lax about their benefits could spell DEATH for their one lifeboat. Despite this, they can't help but feel like they need to at least introduce the idea to Purple.

Purple's the best candidate in their eyes. They're not a suck-up, are pretty smart, and have a nasty history with MIRA (Yellow overheard some rumors and immediately spilled the beans to Brown). The two other crewmates that fit this bill are Lime and Black, but Lime is too much of a loner and Yellow and Brown deemed Black "too immature" for their union. So, the friendship started from pure process of elimination.

Purple was hesitant at first. They're lucky they got this job at all, and all they want to do is keep their head down and get paid whatever they can. However, Yellow and Brown offered something that Purple had been starved of ever since the reactor incident: solidarity. And that's what draws them in like a siren's song.

Purple gathers the courage to show the two Heracles, and instantly Yellow and Brown are all over them. They find the little fishmate to be the cutest thing ever, and try to fist bump them through the glass. Purple made a little apron for Heracles one day and showed the other two. Brown started crying. Yellow got cuteness aggression.

Brown and Yellow take turns personally delivering meals to Purple in Security. They don't leave until Purple looks just a bit more relaxed than when they got there.

The three are still trying to find a plan of attack to get Lime and Orange in on the union. Both are equally hard nuts to crack.

Yellow and Brown get each other more than anyone else ever will, but both feel more... they don't know... excited, that Purple's here too? Purple provides a new element into their friendship that prevents everything from getting stale, like a little parsley on their already amazing noodles.

It took some trial and error, but they FINALLY figured out how to incorporate Purple into their secret handshake. They all agree that the trio version is cooler.

Only Yellow and Brown are allowed to tease the Hell out of Purple. If someone else teases Purple, they get a chef's scolding. If Red teases Purple, Brown makes sure to "coincidentally" brandish a meat tenderizer.

Purple feels so much weight fall off their back when they vent about The Everything. Brown listens with so much intent and engagement, it kinda knocks Purple's socks off. Yellow always makes sure to jump in with agreements at the right times, and even vents in response. Purple has never felt so loved.

Honestly, I think the issue was the parasite. Green got the smart one. Purple's gonna get the one that cooked a little bit too long in its egg.

The issue with Impostor Purple is that we kinda don't know how impostors work. Sure, they take over the host and have essentially a catalog of personality traits and habits at their disposal, but... how do memories work? Do they have the host's ENTIRE collection of memories? What about the memories that need priming before the host can actually recall them? Do they have what the host SAW, or what they THOUGHT they saw? Do they have the host's emotions tied to those memories, because emotions and memories are nearly inseparable from each other? Or, does the parasite only have the factual recounting of events (what the host saw) and can only assume what the host feels?

These are questions we don't need to ask in the show because Green and Orange didn't know any crewmate on a personal level. With Purple.... well, Red's there. And they remember.

"Do you remember the drawing you did of Blue and Lime?" Uhhhhh. *wipes sweat* which one /j

Purple got voted out and it all went to crap

I have seen this all across Twitter. I believe it's called "aliencrystal"? I have seen some BEAUTIFUL fanart on it, good God. Twitter is my #1 place for the Among Us fandom, believe it or not.

I like the thought of them being friends (or queerplatonic) more, but never let me stop you. Cyan was the first to defend Lime when stuff started to hit the fan. They're both yoga-type crewmates. They're both into spirituality. They have the "sunshine x dark cloud" dynamic. They both have a strained relationship with Black (Lime's is more headcanon, but can be reasonably assumed from canon). There's a fic on Ao3 ("Black Box Warrior") where Cyan gifts Lime peridot and it makes them more emotional than it should, and it was freaking adorable. Heck, if you want to get obscure, both Lime and Cyan are brighter alternatives of other more popular colors (green and blue). Must the list go on?

Because I see them as more queerplatonic than romantic, I'll leave you with a headcanon:

One, what do you think of my au? https://www.reddit.com/r/AmongUsShow/comments/1v19b3p/among_runes_this_is_my_third_time_posting_this/

Swcond, what wpuld imp!lime x blue be like

Impostor Lime and Crewmate Blue is hard to come up with ideas for, but I think I figured it out. I've connected the dots. I've connected them /ref

Heh. Heh. Hehehheehheheh.

It's a text conversation between me and a friend I no longer talk to. It was back in late middleschool/early highschool.

I don't know why I screenshotted it, or how I went about transferring it to my current phone (since it was captured on my old one), or why I'd even want to transfer it. I know nothing.

When making this account around 4-5 years ago, I couldn't find a good image as my background because I didn't want to have it tied to a specific fandom; I wanted something that had staying power, so I wouldn't have to change it whenever I got a new hyperfixation.

@djadecutie had the funniest idea in the comments of my last comic

You're not crazy but you are creative.

Most of the time, Brown and Yellow are a package deal. You cannot have one without the other when it comes to ships in people's eyes. I think that's why it's a lesser-known pair, when you just have Yellow with Orange.

I DO have these pre-cooked (get it), so here ya go.

sorry if this made you uncomfortable :)

I have never considered it, but I probably wouldn't. I'm not good at writing suggestive stuff like that and I'd prefer to lend dinobytes wireplay to the experienced writers. Perhaps you should take a crack at it?

There is no universe in which Green gets a competent, focused partner.

Realistically, Lime would figure out Blue's an impostor. Whether it be a hunch, a rumor Yellow started, or actual evidence, Lime would be on Blue's tail fast. Suspending our disbelief for a moment,

The idea of Lime clearing Blue all the time is great. The two spend so much time together that everyone just goes "yeah, neither of them can be the impostor" when more bodies show up. That means that when Blue vouches for Green's innocence, everyone believes Blue since their track record has been polished squeaky-clean by Lime.
