Hop Pop Plantar/Relationships

The relationships of Hop Pop Plantar.
==Family==
===Sprig Plantar===
Hop Pop has lot of interaction with Sprig in the series and thus has a close relationship to him. He apparently raised the boy since he was a pollywog and they share a close bond to one another. However, Hop Pop is constantly on edge with his grandson; making sure that he does not get into any trouble when he is looking away. At times Hop Pop believes that Sprig does not respect him or his authority, but he in turn still cares for him a great deal. In "Lost in Newtopia", he has wizened up to Sprig's recklessness and prepared by handcuffing him to himself to keep him close. He nevertheless, has learned to trust him on occasion and simply wants him to grow up into a responsible frog.
===Polly Plantar===
In "Anne or Beast?", Hop Pop seemed to put a lot of trust in Polly, more so than Sprig. However, since that episode, Hop Pop has shown to have just as much trouble handling her as much as Sprig. Hop Pop, understandably, treats Polly like a baby as he considers her to be the most "delicate" of the family, however, he does see a lot of potential in her such as in "Girl Time" where he considered her abilities unique and what made her her.
==Romance==
===Sylvia Sundew===
Hop Pop has had a history with Sylvia Sundew. Supposedly, the two of them were very close. While their initial separation is not explored, the fact that the two of them, now single, still love one another shows that their bond has been unbreakable. Hop Pop was concerned that she would turn him down due to his eccentric tastes and habits, but fortunately, she loves him for being a "weird one". By "Family Fishing Trip", the two of them have officially become a couple.
==Humans==
===Anne Boonchuy===
Hop Pop initially saw Anne as more of a thing rather than a person upon first meeting, as a matter of fact, Hop Pop borderline disliked her due to her reckless nature, as time went on however, he began to appreciate her presence and admitted to her that she reminded him of a younger version of himself. The two truly started to bond during the events in "Stakeout". Since then, Hop Pop has accepted her as a surrogate granddaughter of sorts; opting to give her advice whenever she needs it or, more precisely, when it suits her. He in turn has grown to listen to her in return such as when he needed advice on dancing in "Hop Pop and Lock". Much like his own grandchildren, he is unsure of what to do with himself once Anne leaves Amphibia.
Hop Pop feels really guilty about lying to Anne about hiding the music box, which got worse when she found out and ran away because she felt betrayed through his actions. However, through Sprig and Polly’s encouragement, Hop Pop sets off to find Anne and set things right, while his grandkids go looking for the box. Once he finds her, Hop Pop attempts to explain to Anne his actions but got interrupted when they hear Sprig and Polly in trouble. Hop Pop convinced Anne to work together with him in order to save Sprig and Polly, which she accepted. After saving them and the box was retrieved, they were relived that Sprig and Polly were okay but Anne decides to leave his family because she felt that she can't trust him anymore. However, Hop Pop explained to Anne why he hid the Calamity Box was because of what happened to Sprig and Polly's parents. As a result, Hop Pop would do anything to protect his family, including burying the Calamity Box when he found out it was dangerous. However, Hop Pop realized that Anne became part of his family too and he let her down then breaks down crying as he apologies to her for his actions. Hop Pop was comfort by Anne as she not only changed her mind about leaving when she heard the truth and seeing that he's truly sorry for lying to her, but also forgave him. 
However, Hop Pop notices that Anne is still feeling angry and hurt towards him as he's trying to fix things between them. After realizing that he put a lot of pressure on her when she tells him that she doesn't know what he can do in order to patch things up between them, Hop Pop not only apologizes to Anne for pressuring her but also tells her that he understands her confusion and encourages her to take all the time she needs, which she greatly appreciates and accepts his apology. Also, Hop Pop and Anne admit that maybe their still some issues that they need to work on first before they can fully patch things up between them.
===Sasha Waybright===
Hop Pop first met Sasha when the toads invaded Wartwood after celebrating Anne being voted "Frog of the Year." Hop Pop was suspicious of Sasha's sudden appearance and the Toad Army's motives. When Sasha tried to sacrifice Hop Pop to Captain Grime, Hop Pop was horrified and witnessed Sasha being controlling towards Anne before watching her be defeated by Anne in combat. In "Marcy at the Gates", he states that he tries not to remember her.
When meeting Sasha again in "The Third Temple," Hop Pop distrusted when she claimed to have reformed and later taunted her over actions much to her anger. However, they put their differences aside in "True Colors" after realizing King Andrias was the bigger threat and work together to defeat him.
===Marcy Wu===
Marcy made a very good first impression when she met Hop Pop to the point that he asked her if she would like to be adopted. Like his grandchildren, Hop Pop was really impressed at how extremely intelligent Marcy was, and happy when she commented how he, as a farmer, was important to society. The two generally are shown to share a positive relationship as Marcy showed an interest in farming and sharing a love for seeds. Hop Pop even sometimes considered Marcy an honorary granddaughter much like Anne. However, their relationship became strained in "True Colors" when it was revealed Marcy intentionally planned on getting herself, Anne, and Sasha trapped in Amphibia, but she does try to make it up by aiding him and the rest of the group in fighting off Andrias's forces and helps him, Anne, Sprig, and Polly escape. When Marcy ended up getting stabbed by Andrias, Hop Pop was horrified and saddened, showing he still cared about Marcy, despite her selfish actions.
===Mr. & Mrs. Boonchuy===
Hop Pop seemed to admire Anne's parents when she told them how they owned a restaurant after being impressed with her cooking skills. After escaping to Earth, in order to escape from King Andrias, Hop Pop finally met Anne's parents and tried to make a good impression, despite them being shocked over the presence of him and his grandchildren due to them being talking frogs. However, Anne's parents slowly accepted Hop Pop and his grandchildren, with Hop Pop helping them realize how much their daughter has matured. After he and his grandchildren nearly lost Domino while at the vet, Hop Pop apologized to Mr. Boonchuy for being a freeloader but the latter told him that there's no need to apologize as he and his family took goof care of Anne when she was stuck in Amphibia and he did not have to repay anything, something which brought Hop Pop to tears.
===Humphrey Westwood===
Hop Pop first met Humphrey Westwood while exploring Hollywood. The two bumped into each other while Humphrey was waiting in line for an audition for a commercial. Hop Pop apologized, but Humphrey assured him it wasn't a big deal before the two started growing cordial with one another. When Humphrey was called in for his audition, he allowed Hop Pop to take his place so he can be an actor, which a grateful Hop Pop thanked him for. Later, while Hop Pop was riding to meet the director of the Fumigator movies who wanted to audition him to start in his new movie, Hop Pop bumped into Humphrey again. Hop Pop learned that Humprey has been trying to become an actor for forty-five years, which cause Hop Pop to give up his dream of acting and let Humphrey take his place. After Humphrey was finally being accepted to star in a new movie, Hop Pop was silently thanked by him.
==Amphibia Citizens==
===Mrs. Croaker===
Hop Pop has a great deal of respect for Sadie Croaker, due to her being around longer. Out of all the people of Wartwood, Hop Pop tries to please her the most as she knew his family and believes that he retains the same moral code that his father and grandfather held. This is tested in "Plantar's Last Stand" where Hop Pop tried to lie his way through selling phony drinks. He ultimately realized that he could not betray Sadie's trust and admitted that he was lying which Sadie appreciated.
===Mayor Toadstool===
Initially, Hop Pop seemed to have a low opinion of the mayor due to being responsible for raising the rent on the stand (causing him to go out of business initially) and later on embezzling the town's paid taxes in "Toad Tax". He would even prove to be his biggest opponent and run against him for mayor in "Hop-Popular" even when Toadstool tried to bribe him into losing the wrestling match. Hop Pop seems to have put his grudge with the mayor aside by the time of "Toad to Redemption" and helps him look bad in front of Jacinda at his request.
===Captain Grime===
Hop Pop feared Captain Grime as he well aware of the former's reputation as the cruelest toad warrior and leader. When Captain Grime arrived in Wartwood and invited the frogs to a banquet to celebrate Anne and Sasha's reunion, Hop Pop remained suspicious of Grime and his motives. Hop Pop's suspicions on Grime were confirmed to be true when it was discovered the banquet to be a trap and Grime intended to kill Hop Pop due to inspiring revolutions all over Frog Valley. Grime was nearly successful in killing Hop Pop, only to be stopped by Anne and her allies.
When meeting Grime again in "The Third Temple," Hop Pop did not trust him when he claimed to have been reformed. This distrust continued Hop Pop told an insensitive joke about toads in "The Dinner" (though Grime claims to find the joke funny presumably to maintain his cover) and proceeding to insensitively bring up the destruction of Toad Tower when trying to guess what Sasha's drawing is. The two do put aside their differences in "True Colors" when they find out Andrias's true nature and fight off his robots together.
===King Andrias===
Hop Pop thought highly of the king, even feeling nervous about looking good in front of him when preparing to meet him and told his grandchildren to bow when they finally met King Andrias. However, this all changed in "True Colors" when he found out Andrias's true nature and has seen him as an enemy since then especially after he nearly killed his grandchildren.
