Canon[]
Battle for Dream Island[]
In the balance beam challenge, Needle seems shocked when Leafy and Pin agree to help each other.
During the rejoin screen, Needle is shown slapping Pin.
At the finale when the eliminated contestants voice who they want to win, Pin turns to Needle and asks if she wants Leafy to win. Needle slaps Pin for calling her Needy and reveals that she would rather see Firey win, causing Pin to slap her back for this.
Battle for Dream Island Again[]
Needle is part of the crowd chanting for Pin to switch teams.
When Pin asks Team No-Name if anyone would like to switch teams, Needle and the rest of the team back away.
Needle ends up switching over to W.O.A.H. Bunch, becoming teammates with Pin. In the next challenge, Pin and Needle work together to kill the bugs in their team's tank. After killing half of the bugs, Pin and Needle are the only ones left when Teardrop and Coiny are poisoned by the bugs inside. Pin points this out to Needle and as she is slapped for calling her Needy, their glass tank abruptly explodes.
After their elimination when Coiny calls himself "surrounded by pins and needles", Pin and Needle get angry at him for the remark. Later after they win the challenge, Needle is saddened when Coiny and Pin high-five.
Needle holds Coiny over to a now limbless Pin when she corrects Coiny.
Approaching Pin, Needle startles her when she walks up from behind and asks what she's doing. Pin explains to Needle that she's wondering if she should put Coiny and Nickel, both frozen at the moment, together after they were previously warned not to. After the two exchange puns about having points, they agree to try it out and Pin kicks Coiny on top of Nickel. The two watch out of curiosity and when a portal opens by Coiny and Nickel, Needle wonders if they should go in. Pin tells her that it would ruin the fun if she did so, only for more sounds to come out of the portal. Right as Needle further questions this, an explosion happens and money flies out of the portal to their delight. Later when Pin tells Coiny not to worry about where their money bag came from, Needle speaks up about wanting to say that and Pin shushes her not to raise suspicion. When the team activates FreeSmart's magnet feature, Pin tells everyone to grab onto Needle since the magnetic force will take the team to Yoyleland.
When Pin comments on how she feels sad that their team is destroying spaceships for the challenge, Needle and Coiny rip her apart.
Pin wonders why Needle has a problem with their team paint color being purple only to find out that Yellow Face refuses to participate because of it.
At Cake at Stake when Coiny and Needle's vocal cords are swapped, Pin comments that it is nice to hear Coiny's voice again but states that she is not fooled. Needle agrees with Pin on wanting Puffball Speaker Box to bring Coiny back from space. At the start of the challenge, Pin accidentally confuses Needle for Coiny because of their swapped voices and reiterates that they need to bring Coiny back from space. Needle points out how he's likely billions of miles away and tells Pin in his voice that he's not really here, disturbing Pin. When the two watch Bomby perform his gesture inside the trash compactor, Pin asks Needle, almost calling her Coiny once more, on what he's signaling. When Pin is teleported into the trash compactor, Needle correctly guesses her imitation of Gelatin and the two get a laugh out of it. As it's Nickel's turn to imitate Nonexisty, Needle and Pin are confused and think that Nickel doesn't understand the rules of charades. When Pin calls Nickel's brain empty, Needle tells her that everyone has their dumb moments, which Pin compares to Coiny's disappearance. Later in the challenge when Pin tries to perform the macaroni dance without her limbs, Needle and Bomby are confused on what she's trying to do. Bomby ends up crushing Pin with the compactor as Needle is sad about the loss of her sharp ally.
As the team is snorkeling, Needle wonders if Pin is even alive since she is unable to tell with Pin having lost her face. Coiny tests it out by seeing if she floats or not and when Pin sinks to the bottom of the lake, Coiny and Needle look down in disappointment.
Battle for BFDI[]
Needle helps Pin look for her blueberry seeds when she loses grip of them. Later when Four mutilates Pin, Needle is saddened by the sight of this. During team forming, Needle and Pin are both invited by Firey to team up with Loser.
During the quiz show, Needle and the rest of the team are motivated by Pin's speech to continue going strong without Loser to physically be there to support them.
When Firey manages to get Four back in a syringe, Needle suggests that Pin should be the one to put him back in the shape of Four.
At night after the eleventh contest, Teardrop, Needle, and Pin hang out by the grass. Needle suddenly transforms into a CGI version of herself to the concern of Pin and Teardrop.
In the impostor challenge when Pin asks Needle how she became CGI, Needle points out that she was there when it happened. Needle quickly figures out and correctly guesses that Pin is the impostor on their team, watching as Pin gets transformed into Lightning.
The Power of Two[]
Pin and Needle follow along when Coiny wants to team up with Donut. They end up becoming team members of the newly formed Team8s. When Coiny announces that he has a plan for the challenge, Needle acts impatient while Pin is curious to know.
When Pin tells Donut that she's contemplating whether their team strategy is morally right or not, Needle dismisses the idea and urges that the restaurant they're building needs to be made. Later when Needle is reminded that they don't have food to serve, she asks Pin if she got the apple she mentioned earlier. Pin realizes that it slipped her mind and worries that they won't have a dish to serve.
After Saw's elimination, Pin and Needle walk together as Pin is bummed out that Saw is gone. Needle agrees and thought it was fun getting to know her sharp wit, which Pin points out that the three of them share the similarity of being sharp.
As Needle tells Coiny to use his magnet to magnify the train back to the grasslands, Pin complains that they'll just be stuck. Needle reassures that her idea will work and as Coiny is launched with the magnet pulling the train back, Pin compliments Needle for her idea. Needle slaps Pin for calling idea good rather than great.
As the team is set on crushing Donut to stick their broken balance beam together, Needle gives Coiny, Pin, and Gaty the signal to release the wires pulling the beam back.
After Pin calls Donut needy, she realizes that Needle is about to slap her for this. Needle reaches out but since Pin is too far away from the balance beam, Gaty ends up getting slapped instead. Later on when Needle accidentally launches Book into Pin and knocks her off the beam, she is angry at Book's team Just Not for causing her to knock her own team member off.
During the zombie infestation, Needle slaps a zombified Discy away after Pin tries to kick them back. Shortly after finding out that Four and X are away, Needle takes Pin and Donut to the hotel's basement to try to hide in. A zombified Coiny breaks through the door and Pin tells the others that he can still be saved. Needle grabs Pin and rushes her down the stairs, reminding Pin that Coiny is not himself as she urges Pin to trust her. Zombie Puffball breaks the stairs of the basement and sends Pin, Needle, and Donut crashing into the sewer waters. As the three swim away from the zombies, they briefly stop to catch some air by the vents below Gelatin's Steakhouse. When Donut ends up getting taken and killed by zombie Income Tax Return Document, Pin gets Needle to notice the incoming zombies chasing them as the two swim further into the sewers. When they reach a dead end, the zombies end up pushing through the rocks and is led to a cavern. The zombies are crushed by the rocks while Needle and Pin focus their efforts on escaping the cavern to beat the rising water. When Needle notices a crack above them opening up, water briefly flows from the opening crack and the two hurriedly make their way up towards the crack. However, the crack ends up closing in on them right as Needle enters it, causing Needle to get crushed and Pin to yell out for her in despair.
Fanon[]
Pineedle is a popular ship for both Pin and Needle, having roots from their long history in the show. With the two having stuck together as teammates since the second season, fans enjoy them having been friends for so long. Several moments in the show have strengthened how fans and shippers see their bond, with recent examples being in BFDIA where Needle, with Coiny's voice, bares with Pin's confusion and will to bring him back, and Needle protecting Pin during the zombie infestation in TPOT. The two are commonly shipped in a poly relationship with Coiny (Coinpineedle) because of the three being prominent members of W.O.A.H. Bunch and many of their separate moments with each other often tying back to all three of them. The ship has garnered large support from the lesbian shippers of the fandom and has garnered fan works, such as ship art and video edits. The other ships in the aforementioned poly, Coinpin and Coineedle, mainly rival the pairing if not all shipped together, along with other ships such as Leafpin also being prominent.
On AO3, there are 7 works under their platonic tag and 6 under their romantic tag. It is the second most written ship for Needle and the third most written ship for Pin.
