Jumba and Pleakley (Platonic & Romantic Headcanons)

A.N. - Rewatching older Disney movies has been a barrel of good times.

Platonic:

When Jumba and Pleakley wish to eject their mutual friend from a conversation, they have conflicting methods that they often execute at the same time. Pleakley is given to telling fantastical stories about an alien invasion or fire in Nani's kitchen to overwhelm and frighten their friend into going with him. Jumba is far blunter in his approach, providing a quick excuse and physically pulling them away from the situation. He cares not for how his behaviour appears to onlookers, but Pleakley tries to appease any disagreement or suspicion from others before he is inevitably snatched by Jumba.

The two aliens are prone to discussing the private affairs of their friend without including the friend in the discussion. This is done less out of intentional rudeness and more out of, in Pleakley's case, a combination of negligence and impatience and in Jumba's case, the belief that the solution is clear and undeserving of further debate. They make decisions about and pass judgment on various aspects of their friend's life in the name of improving it, only to deny that these meetings ever took place when asked.

The most common conflict is their friend not having enough free time or willingness to give Jumba and Pleakley the amount of attention they require. Jumba has a virtually endless supply of inventions and wishes to show how every machine can enrich their life and each experiment is a pinnacle of scientific genius that warrants great praise, but Pleakley wants them to listen to his lectures on Earth studies and read gossip columns in the newspaper with him. Favouring one at the expense of the other results in whichever alien has been sidelined shoehorning himself into the conversation.

Romantic:

Pleakley is the more well-intentioned of the duo, for he treats violence and intimidation as a brutish last resort that should only be employed if diplomacy fails. However, the impression that he is being ignored or avoided will awaken his selfish side. He resolves this crisis of companionship by first begging for their partner to include him and if that fails, staging dramatic distractions with the begrudging help of Jumba that compel them to postpone their original plans and pay attention.

Jumba criticizes him for his naivety, asserting that they should always have a failsafe or backup plan armed and ready in case the initial strategy goes awry. Pleakley counters this argument by disparaging the scientist's apparent cynicism and promising that a nice conversation full of good manners will settle the issue. This notion is discarded as soon as their partner expresses an unwillingness to cut ties with someone, and the responsibility of delaying Jumba from weaponizing his inventions once again and terminating the relationship himself falls to an indecisive Pleakley.

Neither alien is opposed to lying when it comes to deflecting guilt and persuading their partner to trust them. Jumba offers simple lies that have some degree of believability due to his nonchalant delivery, but he is ultimately remiss about the situation and if confronted with proof, will shamelessly admit to everything. Pleakley clings to his story far more desperately, confessing the truth only if repeatedly pressured and accused.
