#i really love hotel oj and payjay and how sweet and comforting it is

[mr-payjay]

i kind of subconsciously expect everyone likes payjay just as much as i do but then i remember i've only encountered two other payjay fans who shipped them as hard as me and they still also shipped them with other characters

#juice.txt #payjay ii #nothing wrong with multishipping of course #but yeah i forget that most people aren't... obsessed #like you know how fantube is really popular #it's like that popular in my head #but logically that is NOT true lol #i think most people casually like it #i've never encountered a payjay hater #they're really just some guys. like they're just two mostly normal married men #i don't even know why i like them so much #they're not even my usual type of ship #i don't usually care about fluff and i really dislike the soulmates trope #but here i am making fluff for like the most soulmates trope ship ever #at least in my opinion they're like soulmates #i really love hotel oj and payjay and how sweet and comforting it is #might talk about it in another post because hotel oj genuinely feels like a heavenly pocket dimension to me #if that makes any sense

for the ask thing what are ur thoughts on oj? if you dont want to do oj then your favorite s2 character maybe?

NO I LOVE OJ OFC I CAN DO HIM!!

Sexuality Headcanon: I see him as gay! I just don't really see him being into ladies, to be honest, and i like working this into the way he interacts with Salt (but... not in a bad way! More in a "they need to have a frank discussion about things, and this also helps her understand herself better in the process" way. Maybe they could go forward more healthily as friends after that. Might write something about that, sometime.)

Gender Headcanon: I'll be honest, i see him as a cis man, HOWEVER, i think he wouldn't shy away from experimenting a little with his identity and presentation. I think he'd happily let himself be dressed up a little. Hit him with your best shot. He's perfectly secure in that regard.

Ships: I like PayJay very much, and i honestly do sometimes forget they aren't canonically together. I just think the dynamic is extremely sweet, and i was really happy with how understanding he was with Paper in S1. I think they work very well as a strong, healthy couple! I also like MePhOJ and KniPhOJ (knife/mp4/oj) a fair bit. Not my main things, but things i'll happily look at :o).

BROTP: PAINTBRUSH!! I don't think their friendship gets expanded on enough. I like to think he was likely one of the first they came out to after Lightbulb. I think they're like a dumb pair of catty besties sometimes. I also love the idea of him repairing his relationships with Bomb and Salt, and being better friends with those two. PICKLE AS WELL. I think they're really good pals. I like OJ being friends with a lot of characters!!

NOTP: Salt. Sorry, i just can't ever see that ship working. He isn't comfortable with her advances, and i definitely see them more like mlm/wlw silidarity (after she comes to some.... personal conclusions.)

Random headcanon: I think he's REALLY frighteningly good at puzzle games. He plays them to unwind after hotel chores, and everyone questions how they don't just frustrate him. He says he just shuts his brain off and does them, but he's doing, like, advanced levels of whatever he's playing.

General opinion: I like him a lot. He was a good S1 winner, because the hotel was such an important piece of ii and provided a lot of characters somewhere to stay, and i'm not sure how many of the others would've been so generous. I clown on him sometimes for being kind of an ass, and having DREADFUL interior decorating skills, and i think both of these things are still totally true, but at the end of the day, i think he's just some guy who's genuinely trying his best for his friends. I bet he'd give a good hug and some very solid advice if you were upset.
