HEHEHEHE I Love It, It's Awesome X3c Thank You So Much!!

*cracks knuckles* I'm gonna take a swing at this and make some stuff up on the fly to get my mind off of stress...

Why did the bosses in PT decide to work with Pizzahead in the first place?

I believe Pizzahead promised them that there would be a whole lot of cash for them if they worked for him. A much better income than the ones they had. An offer they couldn't turn down because what was the alternative? Ending up like Peppino's? Burnt to a crisp by the ray gun of corporate greed? They weren't gonna take the chance. Besides, they all had their reasons to get the cash.

First off, we have Pepperman. An aspiring artist who's studio crappy apartment was too small for his big dreams. He wasn't particularly fond of Pizzahead taking his work for granted, or the unrealistic deadlines for getting the portraits done, or how he was supposed to "punch the pizza chef with the silly little mustache's lights out once he's in your line of sight" but... with the new job he would get a proper studio, a steady income to pay for supplies, everything he needed. So he took the job offer.

Vigilante was barely surviving off of what little money he had to keep his grandpa's farm in shape. Even so, the property had so much damage to it. Fences that were rotting, rats the size of bears kept rummaging through the barn, it was an endless nightmare. Working under Pizzahead, even though this triangular-headed fella's motives were suspicious, would mean being able to pay for necessary repairs. It would mean being able to keep the only thing he had left of his dear late grandpa. He couldn't turn it down.

Noise... oh boy. The little gremlin had himself neck deep in liability, safety violations and restraining orders. He couldn't understand why, though. All show business has it's risks and dangers, why should he have to deal with this? Just because, what? The use of real-life explosives with no safety precautions? The people love that! He's just giving them what they want. So what if he doesn't warn his guest stars before blasting them with a sausage-shooting bazooka? It's a surprise, it's fun! IT'S FOR THE PEOPLE, THEY LOVE IT, AND HE LOVES THE THRILL OF IT ALL. Well, anyway... anything to get himself out of this mess.

Now what about the non-bosses? What about them?

Well Noisette needed money to run her cafe. Like Noise, she's in a bunch of trouble for no reason. Just because she like to experiment with food? Try something new? Just because once she cleaned the cafe bathroom with ammonia and bleach? She's just trying to live her life, goodness gracious. She didn't expect EVERYONE to like her chocolate-covered corn but this is ridiculous. She doesn't deserve THIS many violation accusations. Pizzahead promised to help out, even though even SHE was a little suspicious of him... but she decided to give him a chance. Besides, he gave her the coziest little spot to set up her cafe in the bowels of his septic tank :3

Snotty is loitering but we respect him for that.

Gerome... poor Gerome. He was blackmailed by Pizzahead that if he didn't get his sorry ass over and scrub all the tower toilets, his beloved brother John would be drained of all his life force to power the tower and his inventions to the fullest (kinda a theory of mine... what if Pizzahead was using John as a power source? Hence the background in the final floor and him being "reborn" if you get all the food treasure). Why would Pizzahead do such a thing? Well... let's just say he and Gerome had a very rocky past and they really, REALLY have no respect for each other. What happened between them is unknown and Gerome refuses to talk about it with anyone except John (who promised to keep it a secret).

...Welp, that's all I got.

The enemies and such ig were his underlings long before the bosses and their friends started working for him idk. Or some of them may have worked for Noise (like in the bad, the ugly, and the even uglier comics) and were roped into working under PH as well.

Some of you may ask "why isn't Mister Stick also working for him? Doesn't he want money too?" I think he probably did once but got fired/quit XD probably relating to a disagreement involving their inventions since their both inventors of gadgets and such. They probably stepped on each other toes so much they just both snapped and it definitely ended with Mister Stick saying "YOU CAN'T FIRE ME, I QUIT!!!" and now he's fully willing to help Peppino sabotage Pizzahead's stupid tower with all of his stupid inventions that stupid pizza-headed fu-

Curious if anyone has any headcanons on why each character decided to "work" at ("join", whatever the right wording would be, I dunno) the tower

Some cheeseslime headcanons:

Figure A: a cheesechild, roughly a week or two old. Baby cheeseslimes are quite squishy and rubbery don't produce a lot of... cheese slime I guess you'd call it. Because of this, they are lighter in hue than adults and can't really maintain heat (the slime acts as a fur coat, and regulates body heat). At this age, they will latch into their parent's slime for warmth.

Figure B: a five month old cheeseslime, about 12-ish in human years. They slowly begin to produce their own slime, and their body becomes more liquid and they are now able to retract their paws/hands when needed.

Figure C: a year-old cheeseslime, now fully grown. Their bodies are normally more liquid than solid but they can "shift" their viscosity at will. Their appendages have melted into their own body but can be rematerialized when needed.

Left figure: a proud cheeseslime parent, their cheesechildren nesting in their slime for warmth.

Right figure: cheeseslime parent teaches their child counting I guess. Putting this here for no other reason than to show that I headcanon cheeseslimes have the BEANS 🐾✨

Extras:

Cheeseslimes have a lifespan of about 40-50 years.

They do not have sexes and reproduce asexually. They do have gender identities which they discover as they grow.

Their body temperature is a lot higher than most warm-blooded animals. Not hot enough to burn, but getting there. A cheeseslime's body can reach boiling point during a fever and can cause the slime to bubble.

Cheeseslimes normally can materialize up to 4 limbs at a time (2 arms, 2 legs). However in extremely rare cases, some can materialize more limbs- either an extra pair of arms or even wings.

I will literally fistfight God himself if it's what it takes to improve Peppino's life. Don't tell me what's """""meant""""" to be.

Y'all, try to make Peppino happier all ya want, but that man was

M E A N T

to suffer

.

Personal vent under the cut. Don't expect to understand anything, I needed to settle an argument I've been having with my own brain. Don't worry, everything is ok now...

"Wow, did you see that freak monster hurt that person? God, what a creep... that person's DEFINITELY scarred for life!"

"I did... I hate people like that."

"Oh really? Funny of you to say that because well, y'know... you're kind of like them, aren't you?"

"I'm nothing like them. I wouldn't hurt anyone, let alone to that degree of awful."

"Nothing? You're literally the same category of freak."

"I am no such thing. I don't take advantage of other people. My moral compass is intact. I know how that person they hurt feels, it's happened to me too. I would defend them with my-"

"That person would hate you if they knew the kind of freak you were. You're just like that freak who hurt them."

"We may both be freaks but I-" "So you admit it then?"

"Let me fini-"

"You're just another monster. You may not see it now, but just you wait."

"I made a promise to never-"

"You're just making excuses for yourself."

"No-"

"You should apologize."

"For what? I've done nothing, I've only done is everything to not become a mon-"

"Doesn't matter. Your freaky little existence begs for forgiveness."

"I- I-"

"What? What? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?"

"I'm sor-"

"So you admit you're a monster in need of forgiveness"

"I never sai-"

"You don't deserve it. You may be 'innocent' now, but just you wait... just you wait, little freak."

"I hate how you twist things around. I hate how you manipulate me, telling me things I don't wan't to hear."

"Even if they may be... the truth~?" "IT'S NOT THE TRUTH. YOU'RE JUST HORRIBLE. ALL YOU SAY ARE THINGS TO MAKE ME MISERABLE. HONESTLY, BETWEEN THE TWO OF US, THE MONSTER HERE IS YOU. NOT ME, YOU."

"Sounds like someone's having a hissy fit. Do you hear yourself yelling like a stupid little child?" "BECAUSE IF I DON'T YELL, YOU TALK OVER ME. I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP. FROM FREAK TO FREAK, I MAY BE A FUCKING FREAK BUT I WILL UNLEASH HELL AGAINST THE AMORAL, AGAINST THE RANCID CANCER BEINGS RAMPAGING THIS LOVELESS EARTH. I DON'T CARE IF I'M SHOVED INTO A CATEGORY OF FREAK SHARED WITH THESE CANCER BEINGS. I DON'T CARE IF THAT PERSON HATES ME BECAUSE I'M SHOVED INTO THAT BOX. I'M FIGHTING FOR THAT PERSON REGARDLESS. I KNOW WHO I AM. I KNOW WHO I AM. I KNOW WHO I AM. I AM NOT THE MONSTER YOU SAY I AM."

"...heh."

Art trade with @cutechan555!

Sofia, being a supportive big sister. Honestly, I would take a bullet for her <3 same with Peppino.

...Maurice, on the other hand... I'd consider using as a human shield lmaooo

No background alt below the cut (plus a little surprise!)

Gift!!! I love Noah's character so much I just had to draw him too. Honestly your characters are all so amazing, I'm always happy to see them in the Pizza Tower tag ^w^

Ya know when people draw the characters aesthetic like this with the funny irl pngs? I really, really love that X3c
