i really like the idea of the squip squad being super awkward ‘friends’ right after the squipcident because it’s like. whether you like it or not we have a bond from going through all this crazy shit together and you guys are the only people who understand what i’m going through and there’s just a lot to sort out. they hang out together but they’re not really friends. most of them hate each other and there is so much awkward history between them but they don’t really have a choice so they just begrudgingly tolerate it. somewhere along the way they manage to actually become friends but they absolutely hated each other at first lmao what i’m saying is the squip squad exposure therapied themselves into becoming a ‘found family’ and that is just so funny to me
