Sooo I think this might be my comfort ship? I'm not even totally sure of the definition of that?? I'm overthinking it??? Yes definitely
I dunno but I think they're cute together and I will now pass my BobbleMask propaganda onto you
- One thing I should probably make clear first: I headcanon that Bobble Hat is secretly a total gremlin who can be very cunning when she wants to be. She's a lot smarter than she acts and that's one of the biggest reasons why Mask is so attracted to her. She can keep him engaged.
- And one the biggest reasons why Bobble likes Mask is because her evil side can shine through when he's around. She loves Team Blue and all, but they don't get into the sort of thrilling trouble she craves. With Mask, though? They're practically a power couple.
- While they compliment each other well in those aspects, their relationship did take a good while to develop. Mask low-key has trust issues and he doesn't allow most people to see him without his gas mask. He considers it a private thing. Bobble didn't get to see his face until a few months after they first started dating.
- She occasionally teased him about it but never tried to rush him, silently understanding it was personal. The only thing that bothered her was that there wasn't a good place to kiss him. Not on the lips, cheek, forehead, nothing! So eventually she settled for kissing him on the neck instead---
- Yeah needless to say that sped up the process lmao. Not that Mask didn't enjoy it, he just didn't like showing his flustered side.
- This couple tends to bicker a lot, honestly. Usually it isn't anything too major. Just petty arguments like fighting over the remote or who gets to be player one.
- Speaking of video games, they play together all the time. Co-op games are obviously preferred. I could see them playing puzzle games like Luigi's Mansion 3 and getting frustrated at each other for making stupid decisions 💀
- "Ugh, Bobble, why would you do that?! Are you trying to make us lose?!" "Of course I am! I wanna see Polterpup again!" "WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY GOLDEN BONES LEFT-"
- Lmao they're a total mess but I love them so much
- Bobble is actually kinda clingy. Not in a "Aww I love you so much I just wanna hug you all day" type, but a "Aww I love you so much I just wanna annoy the crap out of you lol" Naturally, she's careful not to push it too far. But she does love teasing and poking fun at him. He has the best reactions.
- She went over to his place a lot because of this. Another headcanon I have is that Bobble Hat gets cold easily, so she stole all the blankets once she was there... And some of his clothes too, probably. Mask pretended to hate it but he secretly thought she looked cute wearing his clothes and having his blankets wrapped around her.
- Eventually, she was at his place so often that he suggested she might as well move in. She didn't hesitate to accept. "It's about time!"
- Mask hates going outside and avoids it when he can, which conflicts with Bobble because she loves being outside. Figuring out what to do for date nights can be really difficult thanks to this. Tbh Mask would be perfectly content just staying home and playing games, but Bobble gets bored of that after a while.
- So how did they compromise? They decided to have dates at arcades! Bobble likes it because at least they're out of the house, and Mask is chill with it because he still gets to play games. Neither of them get tired of it because they visit different ones and rate their favorites.
- They have a tradition where Mask wins Bobble a plushie from the claw machine. He's pretty much a god at claw games and knows how to cheat the system. Bobble knows this, so she decides to make more of a challenge out of it by asking for the hardest one to get. He hasn't let her down even once yet. :)
- She has an entire collection of plushies now and she likes to put them with Mask's anime figures. One day they're gonna have to get a whole room just to fit their shared collections.
- I feel as though they're both a good and bad influence on each other. Good because Bobble meets new people through him (She befriends Team Cyan and hangs out with them quite a bit) while Mask slowly becomes nicer. (One time he actually said hi back after Team Blue greeted him. Might not sound like much, but usually he makes a noise of disgust and turns away. So it's huge progress for him)
- And they're a bad influence because they're gonna cause chaos together. So many pranks and tricks are gonna be pulled now. Have mercy.
- Bobble really likes animals and tried to convince Mask to get a pet with her for the longest time. He didn't want anything because of his sickness and didn't want to care for a pet, but he caved soon enough. They adopted a hairless cat and named her Polterkitty after the one in Luigi's Mansion 3 :)
- (Please ignore the fact that Judd and Lil Judd are the only cats in Splatoon, I just want them to have a hairless cat and be cute together)
- Even so, Mask still pretended not to like Polterkitty. He's a stubborn bastard sometimes. This wasn't true in the slightest though, because he becomes incredibly attached to her. He allows her to sit in his lap while he plays games and takes naps with her.
- Polterkitty isn't only good for Mask, she's good for Bobble Hat too because they both get cold easily :) Bobble buys her cute little sweaters 'n stuff, which caused Mask to roll his eyes. She stopped his attitude by getting matching sweaters that said Cat Mom and Cat Dad. Now he's just embarrassed.
- They will also use Polterkitty to scare guests and they think it's the funniest thing. Designer literally screamed when he came over because she was trying to rub against him. He refuses to come back.
- In the end, they have their ups and downs but they love each other :D
