made some (mostly) humanized versions of capsaicin and burning spice! i don't headcanon them as directly related, but i do think they're interesting. capsaicin is my favorite. ❤️🧡💛

in this universe they're something like distant, estranged uncle and nephew maybe. burning spice is some rotten old guy - either part of a regular gang or a biker gang, and cap happens to live nearby with his roomie (college student prune juice who reluctantly allowed him to stay) and thinks burning spice is just so cool and therefore can't resist bothering him while prune juice is in class and can't keep him entertained. meanwhile burning spice has no idea why this starry-eyed brat keeps following him around like a lost duckling and tells cap to get lost but really, he enjoys the attention/idolization and never actually tries to chase cap off lol. it's a bit of an unwilling mentor and student type situation.

i imagine they get into all kinds of cartoonish situations where burning spice is doing something shady or illegal and cap happens to find him at just the wrong moment, so burning spice scrambles to cover it up and keep cap in the dark about what he really does... maybe even lying about being a teacher at the college prune juice goes to and then getting put on the spot after cap asks prune juice about him and finds out there's no teacher like that.

anyway, just a fun little idea. :)
