my psychoanalysis of pops maellard

pops's sexual orientation

A/N: I made this part after rereading my most recent part. I would have done this sooner, but school got in the way a l o t.

From what I have seen of Pops's body language with characters, I have concluded he is most likely bisexual.

"BUT POPS ACTS GAY SO HE;S FUCKING GAY YU FUCKING HOMOHPGOBIC TRANSHPCUC MSISYGYNSITC PIECE OF SHIT" (so proud of myself; i typed all of this naturally.)

I'm gonna introduce you to a little friend of mine, petty little tumblr sjw bitch. Go on, shake his hand. Introduce yourself and feel like shit and feel your face flush as you miss one of the most basic fundamentals of social cues.

This.

I'm not saying you have to read TV Trope's ridiculously fucking long article on one fucking topic, but Camp Gay is essentially the stereotype of a flamboyant, extroverted, and feminine person; this person is usually assumed to be a homosexual man.

Is Pops flamboyant???

No.

THIS IS FLAMBOYANT (and this guy, Freddie Mercury, was bisexual).

See? Clothes nobody would be caught dead with (even in the 80's where this clothing was made, if not based in) outside of a drug-filled costume party/birthday of sorts (1985, September 5th, Munich, Germany, anyone? Do comment if you understand the reference...).

Then we have Pops.

Pops has anxiety (we established this, right???).

Anxiety (ESPECIALLY IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS GOD FUCKING KNOWS IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS) = WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STARING AT ME I DID SOMETHING WRONG DIDN'T I

"Normal", non-flashy clothes = less attention on you.

Hell, even in this photo Pops is a little like "???" bc they ask him what he liked about fucking BACON after eating it on a show. Keep in mind in this episode he's lost, scared, and is DEFINITELY not where he wants or needs to be.

But enough about that, let me stop procrastinating.

Pops has been kissed by two beings as far as I have seen (if i'm missing something, speak in the comments or forever hold your peace):

Ms. Amy Blitz Powers, the director of development at YZB studios.

8/29/22 edit: what amy did to pops (forcefully kissing him without his consent) counts as sexual harassment/battery/assault (depends on the legal definitions where you live)...yikes.

One of those little snow gremlins from the episode "Christmas in Space".

First off, Pops didn't expect the kiss from Blitz; he seems confused and a little shocked afterwards. This is a big sign Pops is probably not into women as much as men...or, he just could've been surprised. The man DOES like affection though!

Then we have the gremlin snow monster thing, which for the sake of simplicity we'll assume is nonbinary.

Pops is excited to kiss the snow creature; he even claps afterwards in joy.

(taken from the Regular Show wikia's galleries of the episodes "Win That Prize" and "Christmas in Space", respectively.)

Now, I could be biased because I do like the ship BenPops (Benson and Pops)...but Pops IS seen around Benson a lot; in "Spacey McSpacetree" they're seemingly going to have tea together.

In "Party Re-Pete", Pops has what can best be described as a panic attack when Benson explodes, leaving only glitter behind (https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3jgs6k; starts at 5:00). Pops screams, putting his hands on the sides of his head in shock/disbelief and babbling in panic as he's comforted by a concerned, slightly mortified Skips.

There's a lot more things but I don't think I'd be able to track them all down without a decent break from school and other obligations.
