Work Text:
- I like to imagine that everyone discreetly shipped Ribbit and Jax and could clearly tell they liked each other even though the two of them wouldn't tell the other.
- Ragatha liked Jax just a litttttllleeee bit, and maybe she was a little jealous that Jax, Ribbit and Kaufmo have such a good friendship but she's still extremely grateful to have a father figure like Kinger, she understood that Jax liked Ribbit more then everyone else.
- Even Kinger who isn't exactly sane obviously thought they were dating (situationship???) but was convinced Jax is too shy to say anything to everyone.
- Kaufmo is literally the wingman for BOTH of them. Even though they didn't ask. It's fine
- For literally every adventure (this is canon I'm pretty sure), they paired together. Not that anyone minds
- Totally didn't have secret sleepovers whenever Caine was too bored to maintain or check on everyone
- Bubble would literally go: "You guys are dating! Aksjdjfmenwns! Jax and Ribbit sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S—" before Jax literally drop-kicked Bubble
- Caine doesn't understand humans and their relationships, he doesn't understand relationships at all actually. But he made one of the adventures a fake wedding for them once and they were so embarrassed especially as everyone else cheered. Safe to say Caine was kinda happy because everyone enjoyed an adventure for once
- "Dude! You guys are literally married now!" Kaufmo cheered as he grabbed both of their shoulders, huddling together in a little circle. "This might be one of the only adventure from Caine I actually like!", "Kauf, shut up! We're not married okay.. It's just one of those weird ideas Caine had." she blushed slightly, "Yeah Kaufmo, you don't really believe we'd get married, do you?"
"You don't support us being fake.. together?" "What?"
- Forget evil Jax, Jax turned pinker.
- They didn't wear the wedding dresses or tuxedos, however Ribbit did put her ribbon on Jax like the equivalent of a ring.
- "At least you actually have clothes, man." (insert laughs lol)
- Kaufmo was the best man, Ragatha the maid of honor, Caine the officiator, and Kinger was.. Kinger
- "By the power vested in me, as your ringmaster, and the totally legitimate certificate I found online I now pronounce you wife and husband!"
- "It's husband and wife, but whatever.."
- Now the angst because I still hate you guys /j
- After Jax's crashout and accidentally spilling his entire life story to Ribbit, he avoided her on purpose (once again this part is canon). Everyone slowly noticed, and no longer was like "Our ship sank" but "Oh [?!1$] someone might abstract"
- Jax unfortunately couldn't handle the good feeling of having a wif- best friend and pushed Ribbit away until on one mountain adventure where she finally was able to "talk" to him (canon except the wife part ;sobs;)
- "Can we please, just talk?" "You're here, and we're talking." "No, I mean about us.. I thought we at least had a good relationship.." "Relationship? Did you really believe we were friends? I was just using you. Did you really think that all of that was true? It was only a fake sob story." "If that's true, then why, why did you accept it?"
- After a ton of arguing: "Fine! You found out what I did, what happened to me, you know everything! So go ahead, just use it against me." "That's not what I'm trying to do! We're friends, or were.. I trusted you and I thought you trusted me."
- Sadly our beloveds stopped talking, and the worst to worst happened. 😞
- "Well, it's unfortunate but to the cellar you go." Caine snapped his fingers as Ribbit's abstracted form dropped into the basement. Jax watched, realising the results of his actions.
- Ragatha tried to reach out to Jax, but of course he also pushed her away, completely cutting off her from him.
- He moved onto basically torturing everyone until Pomni showed up. She reminded him horribly of Ribbit (especially during the events of EP 6)
- "[?!$;] my life."
