PumpkinTrap is the slash ship between Dusekkar and Taph from the Forsaken fandom.
Canon[]
- The game is in it's alpha stage so any major or minor changes to both the game, characters and lore should be expected and changed to reflect that in the possible future.
Prior to being forsaken, Taph was a demolitionist who served the admins (that including Dusekkar), destroying the homes of terminated and banned users to use the parts for building new houses. But when Robloxians protested against the act of destroying these homes due to accidental terminations, it led to demolitionists being hunted down by angry protestors. Due to this, Taph kept himself locked in his home with traps in case any protestor comes wanting vengeance, thus working less for the admins.
Other then this known fact of Taph there isn't much to write off on their canon, besides the fact that they both speak in different manners compared to the other survivors. Taph is completely and entirely mute, communicating through gestures and hand signals instead (his chat messages use emojis in-game) while Dusekkar speaks in rhymes.
They also both hide their faces, Taph's robe hood and mask conceals his eyes (though it is very slightly see-able) and mouth basically covering his whole face with a black shadow while Dusekkar's face is assumingly covered by the pumpkin head but it's possible that in Forsaken the pumpkin is his head.

Fanon[]
Many begin to ship the two because of the fact they were the newest survivors added at the time, the way they both speak in a manner compared to the others, their designs both hiding their faces and their somewhat correlating design sparked a interest in the ship as well.
The Pair the Squares trope mainly comes into play because of that very reasoning with some content to include PumpkinTrap have them at the background while more rarely presented as a comically shock to the others. Combined with the fact that they are supports.
Some content likes to depict Taph writing fanfiction of Dusekkar or writing fanart in his sketchbook to express his crush towards Dusek to himself in a private manner until ether Dusuekkar finds out himself or by the other survivors going into his stuff. It is a bit common to see fanart of the two's Y2K skins drawn together, what with the simple fact being it is matching skins of the two. It is also common to see the Dusekkar's LOVESHOT! and Dumsekkah are also included in fan content but this is with any content surrendering Dusekkar since those are his most popular skins in the fandom. Taph being a bit "handsy" or expressive with his emojis coupled with a somewhat confused Dusekkar are common as well, since some like Taph being a bit of a feak. This could have been slightly drawn inspiration from Taph canonically having a parasocial relationship with Builderman, to which Dusekkar could be seen feeling jealous of. But not all the time as this is somewhat ignored in other content. Having Dusekkar attempting to learn sign language for Taph is also slightly explored in the fanbase.
It is the most popular ship for the two in the fandom, having over 200+ fics on ao3. Overall it is a decently sized ship in the fandom along with being pretty known in the community as well even if it isn't the most popular. It's only ship that can even be considered as a rival, though using the term loosely here, is BuilderTaph.

Trivia[]
- Dusekkar's character is based off from the real Matt Dusek account while Taph is just a Forsaken original character.
- They are both support characters.
- Taph is the most ignorant support in-game by the fact all of his traps can just be destroyed with a basic M1, prioritize other supports like Dusekkar over him, as they can cause bigger problems.
- Taph is the second survivor to not have a visible face, the first being Dusekkar. (Not including the visible eyes on Taph)
- It would be a het ship when applying the LOVESHOT! skin and Dusekkar's other female skins.
