Golfpuff is the femslash ship between Golf Ball and Puffball from the Battle for Dream Island fandom.
Canon[]
In Battle for Dream Island Again, the two are teammates in Team No-Name.
When Firey believes that no one on their team can fly, Golf Ball gets startled when she sees Puffball angrily growing behind him. Golf Ball suggests Firey to turn around and causes him to scream as he ends up setting Puffball ablaze. For the challenge, she gives Puffball the role of flying some of her teammates to Yoyleland to get yoyleberries.
Puffball wins the prize during Cake at Stake for getting the most likes and seems annoyed when Golf Ball says she was suppose to get the most likes.
As Golf Ball is getting everyone on her team to promise not to switch to W.O.A.H. Bunch, Puffball promises not to do so. Golf Ball is satisfied but makes Puffball frown when she calls her Puffy. Later, she orders everyone to get onto Puffball for the challenge as she flies them over to Yoyle Mountain. When the other teams notice, Golf Ball taunts them, saying they can't defeat "the puffball". Puffball is concerned when Golf Ball, along with Tennis Ball and Rocky, are pushed off by Gelatin and goes down to save them when Fries tells her to.
When Puffball tells the team to hold on to their seats, Golf Ball thinks she means it literally and explains to her how living creatures cannot grow seats. Puffball picks up Golf Ball when she is flung out of the FreeSmart SuperVan after accidentally falling in.
Seeing the team in Davidland, Golf Ball advises Puffball to take a different route, believing that Davidland is a dangerous place. Puffball assures her they're almost out and says to stop complaining. After realizing that the Yoyle Mountain summit is much higher than thought, Golf Ball urges her team to get back on top of Puffball. As Puffball is about to reach the top, she stops with a smirk on her face. Golf Ball is concerned given how close they are to winning the challenge and asks what she's doing. Puffball, while shrinking in size and letting her team fall off, believes she'll get the most likes and win another prize if they lose and get put up for voting. Right before falling off, Golf Ball calls her insane.
After being recovered, Golf Ball wants to know where Puffball is because of the sabotage she caused on their team last challenge. Her anger towards the manner is further shown when she stresses that the team knows who's fault it was when they're at the Cake at Stake area. When Puffball is revealed to be eliminated for getting the most dislikes, Golf Ball is thankful and commends the voters for valuing integrity.
During the impostor challenge in Battle for BFDI, Puffball is disguised as Basketball, a team member of Golf Ball's team. Golf Ball comes to investigate Basketball and asks her who the team leader is. She is satisfied when Puffball says that it's her, giving her the clear and the opportunity to interview the other team members. Golf Ball is later shocked when Basketball is revealed to be the impostor as she transforms into Puffball.
In The Power of Two, Golf Ball is fine with Puffball joining her team and later tries to get her new team to get on top of Puffball to fly to the hotel. They end up falling off as Golf Ball realizes there wasn't enough room up there.
As Golf Ball spins and talks to herself about shapes after an encounter with Basketball, Puffball hovers over to her and says she likes cubes. Golf Ball informs her that she's only referring to two-dimensional shapes. Later in the challenge, Golf Ball likes Puffball's idea of gluing the blocks together but decides not to do it when TV thinks it would be cheating. Puffball looks awkwardly at Golf Ball when the challenge ends as the latter is in awe of their one-block stack.
For Two's amusement park, Golf Ball gives Puffball the role of trying out her new Brain Wave invention. Making a drawing of a rollercoaster for her, she tells Puffball to look at a the drawing in which her brain will upload the idea into the machine and generate the rollercoaster. She warns Puffball not to think of anything that could ruin the idea. Later as Puffball witnesses the rest of the team praising TV for taking the extra step while constructing chairs, Puffball is jealous and wants to spice up her rollercoaster idea so she can get some appreciation from the team as well. When Golf Ball comes back to check up on her, she looks at the machine's preview and is met with a dangerous reading. Puffball thinks that she will be impressed but is saddened when Golf Ball scolds her for ruining the rollercoaster idea. Puffball continues to feel bad when Golf Ball and the team realizes they don't have time to restart and must simply go along with it. After the machine uploads the idea and generates the rollercoaster, the two are shocked to see the various dangers it has.
Tennis Ball informs Puffball that Golf Ball has banned her from joining the team to Davidland because of her deadly rollercoaster last challenge.
Realizing that there's only six breathable bubbles for their seven teammates, Golf Ball tells Puffball to sit out for the challenge again. Fries calls out Golf Ball for continuing to treat Puffball badly, who restates her position to him that Puffball will sabotage the team and cannot be trusted. She glares at him and Puffball when the two fly away to instead sabotage their opponent teams.
As the rest of the team is shrunken down, Puffball can still adjust her size and plans to ask Two to revert them back to normal. Golf Ball calls out that she'll finally be useful and tells her to go get them. However, Puffball is offended by the comment and changes her mind, shocking Golf Ball when she flies away from the team. Later when the shrunken team is dealing with chocolate balls charging at them inside of Tree's treehouse, Pen calls Golf Ball out for excluding Puffball who could have prevented the trouble caused by her absence. When the team is reunited near the end of the challenge, Golf Ball apologizes to Puffball for her behavior and says that she would have made their day much easier. Puffball thanks her for this.
Puffball laughs at first when the team wants Golf Ball to step back for the challenge but is shocked when Pen and Eraser tell her to sit back as well. Puffball is in disbelief but goes along with Golf Ball when they leave the area. Eraser quickly realizes that no one else in the team has any ideas of what to do and yells at them to come back, but he is not heard by the two. Golf Ball and Puffball arrive at Team8s' balance beam to sabotage them but is disappointed seeing that they're already struggling as is. They instead decide to sabotage Just Not and observe their trading strategy. Golf Ball, making connections to a tips and tricks book she wrote, realizes their intentions and points out to Puffball that they're likely trading items with each team to work their way towards the rollercoaster part they need. Since Golf Ball and Puffball created the rollercoaster Just Not needs to fix, they conclude that they should be the ones deciding its fate and plan on giving them a sabotaged part to trade to them. Golf Ball wonders why she wasn't allies with Puffball earlier and the two head to her underground factory. In there, Puffball wears Golf Ball's Brain Wave machine and generates a rollercoaster track piece with an explosive device as a component. The two then fly over to Just Not who accepts their trade for the rollercoaster piece. Reuniting with the rest of the team, Golf Ball orders Puffball to break apart the arches that Just Not gave them so they can glue them onto the broken volcano.
For the balance beam challenge, Golf Ball advises that two of their team members should focus on sabotaging other teams. She flies away on Puffball and the two encounter Tree, who's significatly grown in size. Golf Ball insults him and the two get the idea to try to kill Tree so Death P.A.C.T. Again will have to focus on saving Tree instead of doing the challenge. When Black Hole tries to convince them that they don't care, the two don't believe him and Puffball rams into Tree on Golf Ball's command. This ends up causing Marker to jump off the balance beam and swim towards Tree as the two laugh at them for giving in. Golf Ball thinks it's better they leave Tree as is as Puffball flies away afterwards. After Eraser is knocked off the balance beam, the two are shocked upon hearing that their team lost and start crying as they wish they didn't lose. After Team8s loses as well and Donut wishes they won, the two snap back saying they should have won instead.
For the team's Cake at Stake, Golf Ball and Puffball realize that they're in the bottom two. Golf Ball is sad that one of them will be getting out next right after she had learned Puffball's value to the team. After the two briefly cry, Puffball responds that she's just thankful to have reached common ground with her. As she says she just wanted to be acknowledged, she is abruptly bitten by a zombified Pen and is kicked out of the hotel. Golf Ball screams out for her and apologizes, asking Two who was safe between them. Hearing that Puffball just barely got out by only three votes, Golf Ball promises to avenge her.
Fanon[]
Golfpuff is a popular pairing in the Battle for Dream Island fandom. This was largely attributed to their dynamic within the fifth season, The Power of Two, and their previous time spent as teammates. Starting with TPOT 7 as the two acted more as a duo, recognition and appreciation of the ship greatly expanded throughout the fandom. The pairing is supported in particular by lesbian shippers and video edits of the two roam throughout TikTok, as well as fan art on many platforms used by the show's shippers. The ship is frequently compared to Tengolf (Tennis Ball x Golf Ball) or Puffries (Puffball x Fries), the two's other most popular ships. Shippers of Puffries in particular thought that the duo of Golf Ball and Puffball would end up overshadowing the ship within the TPOT timeframe, putting aside their long history together.
On AO3, there are 4 works under their platonic tag and 2 under their romantic tag. It is the second most written ship for Puffball and the third most for Golf Ball.
