Your HC on Brick and Bubbles? <3 what is their relationship like? And most especially why do you ship them ?

RAAAAAAAAH!!!! omg, I've been waiting for an ask like a lil puppy!!!! OMG I LOVE THIS QUESTIONNNNNNN! Okay, headcanons on the Puppy Love ship, let's go!!!

this one's a long one

So first, a rundown on my headcanons for Brick and Bubbles:

Bubbles first. I think Bubbles has a much more mature outlook on good and bad than her sisters do. Don't let her ditzy attitude fool you. Bubbles sometimes she is less smart than she actually is just for jokes. "Okay, but why did I think that bush was actually the Professor but in drag". But really, she understands the moral grey that the world actually is. Life isn't just Good vs. Bad, and Bubbles knows that and lets that insight inform all of her superhero fights.

She never stops being sensitive, and instead of going with the "this hardens her later in life route", I went with the "she is actually more frustrated with her inability to harden" route. She wants to be tough and unfeeling often, especially because the emotions she feels continue to be strong and intense and absolutely devastating. Unfortunately, she just can't stop the intensity. Maybe it's because when she feels happy, she feels that joy so intensely, that it's like, why would she want to harden? Like such intense happiness that she looks back at the sadness cringing. As if she can't imagine being that sad. But of course, the sadness always comes back. I never really liked it when people took away her joy as she got older and acted like that was just a normal part of life. Like as an adult myself, sure I'm not as carefree and as hyper as I was when I was a kid, but I would still be considered a bubbly person now even though my life isn't that great. And don't think shitty things just never happened to me either.

Brick, on the other hand, is a hard cynic who hates everything except maybe himself. He is mostly stupid, but he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. And he hates when people point out when he's wrong (which is why he hates most people, except for his yes-man Butch). I say mostly because the bitch can't spell and he just be spewing bullshit sometimes. But smart in other ways; he is resourceful, keeps up with the news, is somehow in the know for a lot of things, is quick-witted, and is great at improvising whether it's with fighting or in day-to-day life. These skills often save him from ever going to jail.

Also, I HC that Brick essentially emancipates himself AND his brothers from their dads without really asking his bros. His thought was that his dads are just- way too much. And because of his personality, he just hates having to report to an authority above him, like get off my back old man! He essentially raises his brothers, including influencing their humor, music, and values. Part of his relationship with his brothers is an ego thing. He loves being the leader and using his brothers to make himself look better. But another part of it is that he genuinely loves his brothers. And he realizes this way too late (realized when his bros were moving on from needing him). And it fucks him up. And that pushes him to be a better person actually.

OK SO THE RELATIONSHIP:

I FUCKING LOVE THEIR ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP MAN. Like listen, as much as I love to shit on Brick, he is still a suave dude. Like the dude knows how to flirt and he's super quick with it, just great timing with shit. Sometimes it genuinely creates butterflies in Bubbles' stomach, other times she lets it completely go over her head. One, because it's funny, and two, because she kinda wants to be unassuming sometimes:

"So do you just jump around often, or are you just happy to see me"

"Oh I'm just giddy because Fruits Basket is FINALLY rebooting after like a million years, but it's nice seeing you to Brick :)."

"Oh... Fruits Basket."

Bubbles isn't a master of flirting, but people fall in love with her constantly. Like Bubbles so so SO effortlessly gets people to love her and she doesn't need to be perfect like Blossom or a badass like Buttercup. She is just so endearing and fun to be around that she attracts people with ease. Brick is just another guy who likes her basically. So he needs to work to prove to her that he is the one, and not those other nobodies.

And because of his cynical nature, he expects that the longer he knows her, he's going to uncover just the underlying sinister nature behind her bubbly persona, but he never does. Bubbles is through and through a good person who is mostly consistent in her philosophies and is just a genuinely sincere person. And she works hard to be good and she sticks by it. Brick respects the consistency and standing up for her shit. Bubbles is one of the few people who convinces Brick's stubborn mind. And it's not because of her feminine wiles, but rather because Bubbles' consistency to be good and the merit to her nuanced arguments are what gets through to him. Bubbles is also a great person to concede to because she will NEVER make you feel bad for losing an argument to her. She makes him feel heard and understood before she disagrees. So when they fight, they often deescalate it before it escalates much. Really the issue for them is how fucking long it takes for Brick to finally be ready for being in a relationship with Bubbles. But when they do, it is really nice.

I see them as huuuuge tumblr-fandom nerds. They both have had homestuck phases that they try to forget. Brick will interpret characters in veeery particular ways and gets pretty peeved about different interpretations. Bubbles is that super open-minded person who is so kind and carefree that honestly you don't mind that some of their interpretations are absolutely heinous. Bubbles (pre-relationship) would also constantly compare him and her with other characters with culpable romantic tension and that imports thoughts into Brick's head.

Once Bubbles likes someone, she is like suuuuper romantic. Doodling hearts next to Brick's name. Doodling his face everywhere. Capturing a unique beauty in odd profiles of Brick's. And like just imagine Brick sees them. These aren't idealizing him or making him look like a model, but rather capture the flaws and make them beautiful in an artistic and vulnerable way. Maybe at first Brick is like caught back, like smug, like haha ur drawing me so u liiiike me, but then he's like hold on, these are like, really good. See I am also a sucker for Brick enjoying art. The portraits would evoke something in him, he'd feel the intimacy of being drawn in such a loving way. (or maybe I'm just being self indulgent haha).

Brick and Bubbles go out a lot. Brick always takes her to secret spots, and somehow he always knows where the best Italian or the best Chinese food is, and they're always these underground spots. They are also both social butterflies and will often make conversation with strangers. They meet people who are complete characters and it makes for great stories. Entertainment for Brick and new friends for Bubbles! Another thing, Bubbles and Brick are just pretty funny together. Like Bubbles is so fucking silly and Brick is silly but in a very different way. Sometimes Brick is Bubbles' straightman and other times Bubbles is his.

Running on fumes,,, why I ship it:

Because I ship Blossutch and Boomercup,,,jk kinda. Honestly, I blame the Bubble Boy episode. From how Bubbles was able to decieve them so long, only to blow her cover by doing something so hardcore that even Boomer wouldn't do it? That earned Brick's respect for sure. AND THE FACT BUTCH THREW UP??? SCAB BOY???? Yeah, that surely got her brownie points. So from this, I created the headcanon that Brick holds some respect for her and genuinely refuses to underestimate her because shit was fucking metal. And Bubbles is CONSTANTLY underestimated by everybody else (see the fucking Hardcore episode) and she faces this obstacle all the time especially because of my body headcanons (short and a lil chubby). So when a guy like Brick actually sees her as a fucking threat, it feels nice. And they're funny together. Big plus.

MASTER FIC LIST

I know this is totally pretentious but I’m making a master list of all my fics/wips because I have a lot of stuff saved onto to tumblr that isn’t on my computer and I keep losing them b/c tumblr’s tagging system is a farce 😡

all under the cut!!

long fics

Parasomina

navigation: one two three four five six

Three foster brothers–Brick, Boomer, and Butch–are relocated to Townsville and are less than happy about their new placement. When a group of their “strictly-out-of-necessity” friends take them to the old “haunted” preschool, they don’t blink an eye. They’re a product of the foster care system, how could they possibly be afraid of an old nursery rhyme? (They will admit, though, that the killer doppelgängers are slightly concerning)

Bonus content: (x)

Fake dating Au (greens)

Navigation: (1) (2) (3)

When Buttercup is asked to Prom by Elmer she obviously has only two choices: 1) say no, which she is physically incapable of, or 2) create a totally feasible fake boyfriend. Piece of cake.

Acting Normal (Buttercup-centric; greens)

TBA

Another Buttercrush

TBA

one-shots

Mojo’s Funeral

if there’s one story im actually proud of it’s this one lol. (Even if the grammar is atrocious 😬) There’s nothing like a funeral to bring a City together. (and people flying back)

BubblesxBrick -- Mystery Duo AU

could probably be a drabble, but idk if i’ll ever write this au again. Brick and Blossom are a mystery duo, but it’s not a reds story. thicker plot explanation inside.

pronouns

the two sets of triplets get reacquainted.

growing pains

Teacher’s would call Buttercup a problem child, the Professor would disagree.

Till death do us part

Her sister told her love didn’t know death. She wished it did. (Greens; major character death)

Beat

Sedusa, HIM, and that dance called life. For pufftober2021 :)

drabbles and snippets

Sick Day

Boomer gets COVID, and they plan to put him down.

Undercover

Buttercup draws the short stick and gets stuck as Princess's new evil sidekick. Believe Buttercup, it's a lot lamer than it sounds.

(slight Blossom x Princess)

they call it team spirit (or princess experiences gay panic)

Princess helps save the day with the girls, which is cool and all, but this drabble focuses on Princess and Blossom after the fact.

What’s in a name??

The girls lament over their names. And the boys admit to the meanings behind their own.

lunch break blues

Bubbles is feeling down on herself, but Blossom’s there to cheer her up! Just realized the title could imply the “blue” pairing, but this is sister bonding stuff. No boys allowed ya know? Also Buttercup’s there too.

endearing moments

2/3 “chapters” completed. AU where despite what the boys say, the girls insist they’re best friends

please cw please im out here begging

princess x blossom drabble

team-up

the girls need the boys for a job, but their services don’t come cheap

mini-skirts

Butch has priorities, Boomer’s safety ain’t one of them.

Does your boyfriend compliment your makeup?

joke post based off a tweet between Bubbles and Boomer. established relationship.

Boy Trouble

Bubbles gets annoyed when Blossom elevates her counterpart to an unstoppable god.

Social Mishap

Brick says something embarrassing in front of his brothers

Babe

joke post based on a tweet between Butch and Buttercup. established relationship...right??

Engagement--a greens scene

Bubbles and Boomer are engaged, and Bubbles is forcing their families to meet. This drabble marks the beginning of the greens having a positive relationship. not romantic. they become friends first.

Acting Normal--Drabble

Buttercrush snippet--cht 6

vague plot ideas/outlines

Brick’s Hat

Bunny 1 & 2

6-teen au

Grounded

Bubble Band

Happy death day

#my writing #master fic list #dont pay too much attention to titles and summaries #those aren't my forte lmao #so its probably incoherent
