Chapter Text
-Both still run the Nether, Purple being the Prince, Mango being the King. Purple is commonly in charge of scouting missions from updates, commonly for new biome's, or undiscovered land, whereas Mango is in charge of laws, law-making, celebrations, festivals, and more.
-Mango, as I clarified before, goes by King Orange publicly in the Nether. To explain in a way that makes more sense, if a piglin was addressing him, they would go, "King Orange", but if Purple was talking to him at home and/or outside of work, they would just go "Mango" or "Baba". (Again, idea yoinked from Shace, I stole it. Sorry-)
-At the start, post ep. 30, their relationship was pretty rocky.
- Obviously, you have the years of piled up and unresolved mental (and physical, for Purple) trauma.
- For Mango, it's seperation anxiety and severe PTSD. Seperation anxiety stemming from the fact he was seperated from Goldenrod when they died, and PTSD from Goldenrod's death itself. His seperation anxiety takes in the form of getting anxious when Purple is home a bit late, or when they head to Color Gang's and stay for a little to long. Sometimes sleepovers have been cut short due to Mango's anxiety. Purple doesn't blame him though, especially after Goldenrod.
- For Purple, it's a people pleasing issue, PTSD, slight imposter syndrome and seperation anxiety, but in a different way. The people pleasing issue stems from wanting to appease Navy, and then wanting to appease Mango, the PTSD stemming from Navy's abuse, Orchid's death, and Mango's fucking nonsense. The imposter syndrome stems from when they'd outright used the Color Gang to get what they wanted, and feeling guilty when the realization hit that they didn't do all of that work, even manifesting in the form of straight up breakdowns. For the kinda-sorts seperation anxiety, it's because of Orchid. They get really anxious if Mango wakes up late, or they're seperated for a long time, like a week or so.
- You also have Purple's initial reaction to having a parental figure, who isn't dead or abusive. So many different reactions are possible that they're unpredictable. They could flinch, fight back, argue for no good reason. And they're also so used to being independent that it's hard for them to adjust to not having to shoulder so much work. They're reluctant to let anyone else shoulder that work because of Navy, and now that they have Mango it's confusing.
