Almidot

Almidot is the femslash ship between Almond and Peridot from the Cucumber Quest fandom.

Chapter 0: The Nightmare Knight's Return (The Doughnut Kingdom)
The two first meet when Peridot walks in on Almond and Sir Carrot arguing. Upon Peridot asking to retrieve the disaster stone they are in possession of, Almond decides to pick a fight with her. After dodging some of Peridot's attacks, Cucumber passes the disaster stone to Almond. Peridot says that they can't dodge forever, in to which Almond agrees and attacks her, making her fall from her magic wand that she was riding. Almond asks if she still wants the disaster stone, in which Peridot gets up and tries to say she is not done fighting yet. However, she is interrupted when Almond just hands over the disaster stone anyway. Peridot takes it, however clarifies that she is not just taking it because she needs her pity, to which Almond does not believe. Flustered, Peridot tells Almond that "this isn't over", and flies out of the room.

Chapter 3: The Title Match (The Flower Kingdom)
During a contest of who gets to become the next "Princess R," Almond is put up again a girl named Dahlia, who decides to recite a "creepy spell." However, this "creepy spell" is suddenly interrupted as she is turned into stone by Peridot, who had previously disguised as a participant named Marigold. Peridot, turning to Almond, clarifies that she is not here for the contest, but for her. She quickly realizes what she just said, and starts to blush. Her embarrassment is even further prolonged when Lord Cabbage announces that Peridot "flew all the way from Caketown just to see Almond," and calls her desperate. This throws Peridot into a fit, ending in him being turned into stone.

Almond, thinking her father was lost forever, scolds Peridot for what she did. However, Peridot makes it clear that she just went easy on him, and that the stone will wear off in in a few minutes. Almond then light-heartedly says that she knew Peridot was "chicken," and the two get into a short, yet friendly play-fight, in which Almond teases Peridot when she makes stone flowers, asking if they are for her. Almond calls Peridot's entrance "pretty cool," to which puts the latter into a wistful expression, asking her if that is what she really thinks. However, it turns out to just be successful attempt of letting her guard down, in which Almond tells Peridot that she will never seriously beat her.

After Princess Nautilus, Peridot, and Commander Caboodle reunite with Almond, Cucumber, and Sir Carrot, Peridot makes an effort to ask Almond if she is "ready to pick up where they left off. However, Almond, in response, asks if she knows her. This puts Peridot at a loss for words. She then calmly exclaims that she "hates this," and partially turns a tree to stone. Almond then tells Peridot that what she did was "really cool," which makes Peridot smile.

Moments

 * When the Nightmare Knight tells Peridot to come back home with him in Chapter 3, Peridot looks over to Almond, turns back to the Nightmare Knight, and exclaims that she will go home when she feels like it. This fails, though, and she is taken away in a bubble. This prompts Almond to ask if Peridot is really on his (the Nightmare Knight's) side.
 * In a nightmare Peridot has, she is seen getting married to Almond, before a monochromatic evil giant of Queen Cordelia crashes in to mock her for marrying a hero, wanting to rebel, and failing to be evil.
 * Upon being asked what Peridot really thinks of the heroes in a bonus where the characters answer questions from readers, Peridot answers with "She's dumb." "She" referring to Almond. Peridot gets embarrassed and corrects herself, saying "They're dumb."
 * In Peridot Fact 1, Peridot is discussing what she will say to Almond with Queen Cordelia, but makes a grammar mistake in which she uses "me and" instead of "and I." Queen Cordelia corrects her on it, in which she remembers a moment to when she had already incorrectly used it (specifically before she flew out the room on her and Almond's first meeting.) She freaks out, and asks if Almond is going to think she is dumb.
 * Though Peridot did say that she did not expect Almond to be there when she went to go check on Splashmaster, this turns out to be a lie. In Peridot Fact 2, it is revealed she did not even want to go, until the Nightmare Knight told her that his servant has captured "the hero's younger sister." The "hero's younger sister" being Almond.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Peridot's very obvious crush on Almond. This, along with the many times Almond has teased Peridot throughout the story. The interactions between the two, and the ship itself are often labeled as "cute" by the fandom.

One pairing that is shipped along with this is Sea Cucumber, the ship between Almond's brother, Cucumber, and Princess Nautilus.

Trivia

 * Peridot's attack, defense, and special stats are all rated "better than Almond."
 * Some people have even compared the ship to Lumity, with them both including an initially antagonistic green-haired witch (before Amity dyed her hair) who has a crush on their brown-haired rival. Another comparison between the two is that both pairings have a favorite in-universe media they both enjoy; Lumity with The Good Witch Azura, and Almidot with Pretty Protector Punisher Pumice.
