Pickloon is the slash ship between Balloon and Pickle from theInanimate Insanity fandom.
Canon[]
In "A Lemony Lesson", Balloon chose Pickle first to be on his team. He explained that it's because of his brave cliff dive. Pickle got excited about getting chosen first. He proposed that the two can choose Taco on their team. Despite Balloon disagreeing, Pickle still called her over. During the challenge, when Balloon groaned about the team losing, Pickle told him he could be nicer to Taco and that it's not her fault the progress is too slow. Balloon argued that he's the one who chose her, despite her being a "*****". Pickle got offended and kicked him into a tree. Balloon got surprised there are no lemons inside it and said that it's rigged. Pickle told him that nature can't be rigged.
In "One-Shot Wonder", after Pepper jumps off a cliff to save Salt, Balloon groans and tells Pickle to launch him. However, when he was launched, he started floating. When Taco yells out "Pancakes", Pickle agrees with her, saying Balloon is fat. He heard them and yelled at them in anger. As Balloon was getting closer to the end, Taco popped him because she was launched by Pickle. He laughed and said that he deserves it for calling her a "*****".
In "Sugar Rush", when Taco yelled out "Fat cakes!", Pickle agreed with her, saying Balloon is fat. He voted for him to be eliminated.
In "The Penultimate Poll", when Balloon said Taco deserves to be eliminated, Pickle confronted him and told him to not vote out his friend. He also insulted him, calling him a fat tub of air. Balloon got mad and told him he sucks. Then, Pickle kicked and popped him with a needle.
In "Everything's A-OJ", Pickle insulted Balloon as he was trying to prove his redemption to Knife. He got angry and yelled at him that he, at least, knew Taco was nothing but trouble. Pickle got upset and left.
In "Rain On Your Charade", in a flashback, when Balloon entered the hotel, Pickle stared at him furious and walked away.
In "Letters", Pickle woke up to a note. He thought it was from Taco, but it actually came from Balloon. After reading it, he and Bomb went to him and asked him if he wanted to play video games with them. He agreed to so. He realised that, despite him not knowing how to play, they don't hate him anymore.
Fanon[]
Pickloon is pretty rare to see in the Inanimate Insanity fanbase. The two started off as arch-enemies, mainly because Balloon was bossy and jerkful and because he bullied Taco constantly. Pickle would also fight back by popping him and calling him fat. They were even enemies whne Balloon tried redeeming himself. However, the comic "Letters" made it more popular with how the two played video games together and were on much better terms. Although the ships is rare, there is more content of it on AO3 and Tumblr. Pickloon rivals more popular ships like Knickle, Nickloon and Suitloon.
