Alef/Relationships

These are all the relationships Alef has with the other contestants.

## Envelope

Alef and Envelope seem to be minor friends and don't have much conflict between them. One notable interaction between them is during the elimination in Sun Blocked, when Alef got the most prize votes, Envelope misunderstands it as an elimination vote and pats him on the back saying "GOODBYE ALEF, I'LL MISS YOU", In which Alef replies with "Uh... no". They don't have any conflict between them, but they haven't interacted enough to be labeled "good friends".

**Status: Neutral**

## Frisbee

*For Alef’s relationship with Frisbee and Ketchup, see Bro-liance.*

Frisbee and Alef are in the Bro-liance along with Ketchup. They became good friends after bonding in Fartists due to being excluded from the challenge. Frisbee showed visible distress and anger when Alef was hurt and laughed at. He and Frisbee sided with each other in the dispute between them and Nabla. Alef also suggested that since Frisbee was an athlete, he could probably push the boulder one-handed. He complies and starts to run up the mountain with the boulder in hand. They're shown to have little to no conflict.

**Status: Friends (Alliance)**

## Glue

One of Alef's main enemy-ships, Alef and Glue's interactions started off bad and ended off bad. It started with Glue getting mad at Alef for dropping Nabla’s chalkboard off of an ice block (which also hit her), and for bullying Nabla. She gets back at him by asking Nabla for "blackmail-adjacent details" to use on Alef, that being his real name that he hates. She and Nabla use his real name to refer to him to annoy him during Fartists and once in Sun Blocked.

Fartists: She and Nabla exclude Alef from the challenge as retaliation, with them taking leadership of the challenge. Eventually, Cinnamon Bun gets stuck in the painting, with Alef attempting to get her out, but Alef eventually slips on the painting and gets stuck himself, with Frisbee trying to get him out, but accidentally flings him up into the sky and when he crashed into the ground, it is followed by Nabla and her laughing at him. She and Nabla consider apologizing after seeing him run away in tears, but ultimately doesn’t.

Sun Blocked: With them still angered about the accusation that Nabla made the Paint Monster, she also votes for Alef during the elimination, and later shoves him against the claw machine, and eventually gets into a physical fight between everyone on Team 4 (except the neutral members).

**Status: Arch-Enemies**

## Ketchup

Ketchup and Alef are in the Bro-liance along with Frisbee. They became good friends when Frisbee came up with the bro-liance idea. He was also shown cheering for Alef when he went back to the team and demanded that he be let to participate in the challenge in Fartists. When Alef ran away in distress from him being mocked and hurt, he was shown looking upset and sorrowful for him. He also sided with Alef during the conflict between Alef and Nabla. They're shown to have little to no conflict.

**Status: Friends (Alliance)**

## Leek

An Ice Beginning: Alef and Leek never interacted much, but they did have some interactions between them. Initially, it was hinted at being positive, with Leek (along with Toothpick) nodding in agreement with Alef that Nabla’s plan was a bunch of “science mumbo-jumbo that isn’t gonna help”, but this positive relationship was not going to last long.

Fartists: at the end of the episode, Leek says that the viewers would likely vote out Alef, while talking with Nabla and Glue when they were considering apologizing to Alef for what happened in the latter half of the challenge.

Sun Blocked: Leek becomes a friend of Nabla in the current rivalry dividing the team after the Broliance accuses Nabla of making the Paint Monster, and after they use Nabla predicting the challenge in Get A Grip as evidence she made the Paint Monster, Leek comes in and says that it was in her sleep, and sabotaging is a conscious choice with him believing Nabla wouldn’t do such a thing. After Oodle says he does not want another elimination derailed, and gets to the voting, Leek votes for Alef with him saying that they had the challenge under control and that Alef should’ve backed off for once. Later during the challenge, Leek steals Alef’s flashlight after he finds a sun piece, and after the Broliance assumes Nabla intent of sabotage, a fight occurs with it initially being just everyone screaming at each other but quickly descended into a frenzy with everyone (except the neutral members of Team 4) hitting each other, including Leek and Ketchup (Broliance member) against each other.

## Nabla

One of Alef's main enemy-ships is with his very own cousin, Nabla. Alef bullied Nabla in the first few episodes. In An Ice Beginning, Nabla proposes a plan on her chalkboard to her team with according to her, has “a 95.7% chance of success”, but Alef, before she can finish, pushes her chalkboard off the ice block. Alef responds that her plan won't work, which Nabla responds sarcastically asking about what would work, Frisbee comes in though and uses javelins to attack the other teams. Nabla is surprised on the effectiveness of it, with Alef responding saying to keep her geekiness to herself. He then gets hit off the ice block by Bouncy Ball and Nabla thanks Sock.

Smarter & Boulder: Nabla proposes another plan to the team with a spare smaller chalkboard she has, but Alef mocks her again with saying “it's was bad enough you’re a nerd but now you’ve downgraded”, with the “downgraded” referring to the fact she does not have the larger chalkboard that Alef pushed off an ice block, and Nabla was unable to find. Alef also suggests Frisbee to push the boulder since he's a strong athlete. It's later shown that Nabla's plan was put into affect.

Get A Grip: Nabla finally finds her chalkboard again with help from Glue, and Nabla tells her miserable experience with Alef to Glue, and Glue in response, sides with Nabla and asks for “blackmail-adjacent details” against Alef to help her. Those details happened to be that Alef’s real name is “Aleph”. Glue later uses the name “Aleph” for him, surprising Alef.

Fartists: Nabla and Glue’s started to retaliate against Alef by excluding him from the challenge, with them taking leadership of the challenge, while also referring to him by the name he dislikes, “Aleph”. He complains saying it's a “dumb name”, and that nobody cool has been called it. Nabla says that it's breaking through his fragile ego. He tells her to "shove it" and that he can't believe she told Glue about it. While away, he mentions how he would be “proud of her if he wasn’t so peeved”, and eventually gets comforted by Frisbee and Ketchup, forming the Bro-liance in the process. Shortly after, Alef refuses to sit around and do nothing and demands he gets something to do and to not be treated like a second-rate semitic letter. Glue and Nabla respond that they have everything under control, and that he doesn’t get to participate. Later in the episode, when the painting is done, Cinnamon Bun gets stuck on the painting, and Alef comes to bring her out in an attempt to save the team. Cinnamon Bun gets out by herself though, with Nabla and Glue sarcastically mocking him by telling him how he saved the day and showed them how good we was. Alef responds furiously, but accidentally slips in the painting and gets stuck himself. Frisbee tries to help but accidentally flings him into the sky, and when he falls to the ground, Nabla, Glue, and Whoopee Cushion laugh at him. Nabla says to “consider this revenge for everything” he has done to him, Alef walks up to them angrily, causing them to coware, but then stops and says, “I hope you got what you wanted” before running away with tears in his eyes. After that, Glue and Nabla considered apologizing to Alef but ultimately doesn't (until the next episode) because they're afraid he won’t accept. In the end scene, Alef kicks the paint bucket that had the Paint Monster and sees an inverted red triangle resembling Nabla, and is in shock.

Sun Blocked: Alef wins the prize by a significant margin, and Nabla and Glue congratulate him, although reluctantly. He changes the topic of the elimination quickly though, with him bringing the paint bucket, and claiming that Nabla made the Paint Monster. Glue argues that the claim is ridiculous, with the other Bro-liance members responding that it's not hard to believe and how her predicted the claw machine challenge makes it easier to believe. Leek though, joins Nabla’s side and says that Nabla predicting the challenge is a different situation due to her predicting it in her sleep, but sabotaging is a conscious choice, and not believing Nabla would do that sort of thing. Nabla and Alef then get into a brief quarrel before Oodle quickly throws it in the inter-dimensional memento collection, and says he doesn’t want the elimination to derail and gets to the actual votes. Nabla and Alef of course vote for each other while Nabla telling Alef to stop lying and Alef insisting that he isn't. Nabla says she went too far in the art contest and he didn’t deserve what happened and apologizes, but then says that Alef accusing her about the paint bucket was a new low, with Alef responding saying that Nabla was reaching a new low. During the challenge, Alef finds a sun piece but gets shoved by Nabla, Glue, and Leek. Ketchup later says to let the Broliance handle this because they don’t want anyone sabotaging anything. An argument fumes between everyone except Toothpick who eventually gets the sun piece and wins the challenge for the team.

## Toothpick

Toothpick, despite not being a member of the Broliance and is never shown to openly support Alef, has been shown to be a possible friend of him.

An Ice Beginning: She agrees with Alef on Nabla’s plan being a “bunch of science mumbo-jumbo that isn’t gonna help”, and in the next episode

Smarter & Boulder: he is hinted at supporting Alef’s plan but never openly says she supports it over Nabla’s plan.

Get A Grip: Toothpick questions how Nabla can sleep-write which would eventually become a point for the Broliance against her with the sleep-writing being used as evidence that Nabla could’ve made the Paint Monster, although she would not know this at the time.

Sun Blocked: After the incident in Fartists, Toothpick talks with Alef and asks if he’s doing alright considering what happened in the previous episode and when Alef says he thinks things will be turning around for him, Toothpick responds positively.

**Status: Friends (Possibly)**

## Whoopee Cushion

Whoopee Cushion is seen to be a huge nuisance to Alef, as shown when he constantly makes fun or pranks him. He was also indirectly responsible for the events of Team 4's lost in Fartists. He was also seen laughing at Alef with Nabla and Glue. His antics usually end up with Alef beating him up on multiple occasions.
