Dale Gribble/John Redcorn

John and Dale make an odd couple. It's really fun that Dale's obsessed with John, and completely trusts him, and acts as his hype-man for their band and John's sexcapades. And I like that John has conflicting feelings about Dale being the weird white man whose stolen his child, but considering Dale a true friend.

• Contrast: whether it's between John and Dale's personalities and bodies, it's really fun to play with their differences.
  • John is tall, handsome, long-haired, but moody and a bit of a shy loner/loser.
  • Dale is shrimpy, balding, and mentally PLUS physically frail, but self-assured with a loving family.
  • They're both cute to me! It would be cute if John thought Dale less conventionally attractive attributes were cute too.
  • Dale's poor health vs John's occupation as “healer” is a fun contrast too. That tickles the medical, sickfic, and hurt/comfort interests in me.
• Nancy and Joseph: I love John and Dale's mutual connection with Nancy and Joseph. Bring them closer, make them mad, there's so much to draw from with their weird family tree.
• All eras: their implied youth, their current selves, and their modern older/fatter/balder designs.
  • 80's rock and metal. I'm especially interested in John's past as a roadie for the band Winger! He blasts classic rock in his jeep. He plays in a boomer rock band despite the modern age. Nancy likes 80's rock too, judging by her “Cherry Pie” ringtone and the fact that she met John 14+ years ago.
  • Wonder if Dale ever was ever into that heavy metal stuff? Did John and Dale ever cross paths in the 80's?
• Moods: Funny, introspective, angsty, horror, fantasy, I love it all!
• Senses: I love touch, sight, and smell from the perspective of the characters.
• Ambiguous relationships: It's so fun to not have a proper term for what kind of situationship these guys are in. John and Dale have a strange intimate friendship, just like Nancy and John aren't quite in a proper boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
• Genderbends: Turn Dale and/or John into girls! Turn Nancy into a guy if you want! Yuri, yaoi, hetshit… love is love.

• Junk in the trunk: I like any genital configuration for John and Dale. Give them huge shmeat, tiny clits, nothing at all (nullo is cool if you can fit it in their stories :3), all of the above, etc…
• Siding: (non-penetrative sex) Over clothes, hands, mouths, frotting, intracrural, feet…armpits…
• Penetrative sex: I like BOTH of them as subby bottoms :D John strikes me as a service vers (whatever the other person wants!), and Dale…well.. he canonically cries during/after sex and curls up into a ball.
• Nancy: she can be involved! Voyeurism, surprise, shock, intentional fujoshi-ism… I do really feel like she's the more dominant one in bed, even being John and Dale's top if you want to bring out her fingers or strap or shenis.
• Sex work: I love that John is implicitly a survival sex worker. Yeah he likes banging milfs, but he didn't seek out this dead end “massage” job to live in a trailer!
• Senses: I like John's long hair in a perverted way. I also like the idea of Dale sniffing and licking other people's stuff in a naughty way. Dale's a bit of a creepy little creature hissing in the dark.

• Don't be mean to Nancy! If she is involved, I don't want her reaction to be mad or sad.
• Don't involve underage Joseph (pre-season 14) in any NSFW stuff. He can walk in on his dad(s) though.
• Don't involve IRL current events that aren't already mentioned in the show. They mention stuff like Vietnam and George Bush in the show, Dale's obsessed with the Kennedy assassination and other conspiracies, heck they go through COVID in season 14. But I'd rather the characters not go through a natural disaster or warzone.
