like literally there will never be anything funnier than a vampire being like “my life sucks nobody has it as bad as me : (” and they’re literally actively murdering some random dude who was on his way home from his fucking 9-5 or whatever

Tbh it's almost cringy how you can see when I'm just drawing for fun and when I'm way too over focused on making the characters look like themselves lol.

When Jacob is the architect of his own misery.

An Until Dawn style au but Jacob developed a way of making his own little brainwashed wendigo army.

Can you imagine how jarring it must have been for Jacob to meet John again? Like at least with Joseph, they'd been old enough to have an established relationship they could both remember - there was familiarity there! - but John probably wouldn't remember as much, and his personality is going to be very different from what Jacob would remember.

His baby brother - whose abuse was what made Jacob decide to plan to kill their father! - is now more a stranger to him.

And likewise John probably felt Jacob wasn't as immediately familiar to him as he'd expected (likely felt that with both brothers honestly; his memories of them would probably be a bit vague) but I think he'd be a bit more in denial of this. With Joseph, it comes a lot easier - he has that sort of magnetic cult leader charisma about him that can make you feel special with a glance, something John could easily attribute to some sort of innate brotherly bond - but with Jacob, he'd have more trouble because Jacob doesn't really know this John.

But I think John desperately needs his brothers to just immediately get him, in a way that's entirely unrealistic. Clearly, the reason he'd felt so empty in life was because he didn't have his real family with him! That's definitely the only reason (because what does it mean if it isn't?)

Pande..can u drop some jacob and staci headcanons 4 me...im starving💔

Oooo okay!

Here's some more headcanons I have about them 😁 honestly I've got so many different ideas on how their dynamic could be that some of them wouldn't fit together well or need to be left out of a story but that's okay!

Here's just some general ones that have been on my mind recently:

-Staci spends most of his time with Jacob learning everything he can about him. It's obviously a survival mechanism for him and something that Jacob comes to rely on without realizing it.

Staci needs to be useful to Jacob and what better way then to anticipate all his needs. Jacob's pen runs out of ink and Staci's instantly there with a replacement, Jacob misplaced his radio and Staci immediately digs it out of a pile of paperwork, Jacob didn't put his boots by his bed the night before and wakes to them exactly where he likes them, unlaced neatly and all.

If we're following canon then after Staci's "betrayal" he finds himself lifting a hand expecting what he needs to be handed to him, or goes to grab coffee but making it too strong (not how Staci would make it) and it would piss Jacob off because suddenly he misses and feels Staci's absence and relying on someone like that is Weakness! How could he have not noticed how reliant he's become on this one sinner?

-Staci is scrappy, he's not afraid to fight dirty and will use any trick he can come up with to fight someone off, but I don't think he ever throws the first punch. He can be aggressive and stand his ground but if he hit a Peggie first he'd have to answer to Jacob terrifying. Also I think he can't bring himself to be violent towards the other prisoners unless they are first, he feels like he failed these people he was supposed to protect so even when Jacob puts a gun in his hand and orders him to "put them out of their misery" he can't do it. He'll shake and try and try because he needs to show Jacob he's strong but in the end, even when he's under the music box's influence, he can't pull the trigger.

-At first Staci is terrified of the wolves, but after a while of seeing the process they go through he realizes they're not so different from each other.

I like to think that he's one of the only people that actually spends time learning their behavior and starts to figure out their dynamics (much like he does with Jacob) which creates a bond with them. It's not perfect and not all of them are friendly but they clearly show favoritism towards Staci when he's around.

-Staci is a chewer, he'll chew on pen tips and pencils if he's nervous or deep in thought, pull long strands of grass out and nibble on the end, he'd chew on Jacob if he'd let him.

- I have a lil mini headcanon that Staci got his ears pierced during school. He went to Claire's or something with a girlfriend cause she wanted to pierce her ears but she got scared and opted out but didn't want the trip to go to waste so Staci just shrugged and said he'll do it (cause he wanted to look cool in front of her and show how manly he was for not being scared). He wore them regularly for years until the second month of his job on the force. He was answering a call with his training officer and nearly got his ear torn off by a drunk guy resisting arrest.

- which leads me to the next headcanon! Jacob is touchy, he grabs and holds and pats and pinches. So when he saw Staci's pierced ears it was just another thing to haze him with. In the beginning he'd flick his ears and call him names which over time would become more of a sweet and teasing gesture than an aggressive one.

If they were out somewhere Jacob would pull him in by the back of the head or have an arm slung over Staci's shoulders or hold him and talk over his shoulder to whoever had his attention at the time. At first Staci wouldn't be sure if he could touch Jacob back but the first time he initiated it Jacob seemed to be more possessive that day and had Staci glued to his hip.

-Staci kinda ends up acting like a working service dog for Jacob's ptsd. If he wakes from a nightmare Staci would act like a weighted blanket and his even breathing would lull Jacob back to sleep. If he was having a flashback Staci would make more obvious noise and distract Jacob from his thoughts. He'd make tea on rough days and let Jacob hold him as long as he needed.

-on the flip side, I think Jacob feels like he needs to protect someone, and sure Staci's strong and can handle himself which makes Jacob proud but if Staci is sick suddenly it's the only thing on his mind and if someone interrupts his thoughts or care then there'll be hell to pay.

-Jacob never says "I'm sorry" or "I love you" (it's super toxic). He especially won't apologize and doubles down on his bs even if he knows he's wrong, he'll make Staci upset and panicked but later he'll try to make it up to him by his actions (joining him in finishing the dishes wordlessly or making him a meal he likes or giving him a massage at the end of the day). Staci is so used to reading Jacob that he sees what these wordless "apologies" are and accepts it even tho it still frustrates him sometimes that they don't have a proper discussion about it.

-Staci being terrified at first of making a wrong move and being punished for it but over time as their relationship develops, if Jacob tries to pull the same shit as he did before Staci will snap back in a rage. Like how DARE Jacob try to make him feel like that again. Meanwhile Jacob might as well be the equivalent of a cartoon wolf floating after him with giant hearts for eyes and the awooga sound effect.

For more non cult/ not canon complient stuff:

-Jacob sends Staci short king tiktoks and memes. The first one was a psa style video that said "Friends, keep an eye out for your short kings today the eagles ate out." With a badly cgi'd video of a guy being scooped up by an eagle.

Jacob send him a "Be careful out there babe 😔"

Staci just sends back a "???" "I'm 6'0 Jacob"

-Staci in turn retaliates by calling anything mildly outdated "vintage" and makes ginger jokes.

-they argue over who could pick up who better at the bar. It's a long argument. Eventually Staci uses his secret weapon and Jacob folds (it's literally just Staci falling to his knees and looking up at him with big puppy eyes and saying "please-please-please" over and over again)

- On one of their earlier dates Jacob "Mr. Sunny Georgia" Seed once tries to talk Staci into crossing a frozen lake with him cause "it's a shortcut to the cabin" to which Staci promptly gives him a rundown of why that is a Bad Idea and asks him if Jacob brought him out there to kill him cause Staci "knows people" and they'll know where to look for his body (note he did not in fact inform anyone of his whereabouts or who he'll be out with).

-Staci's not born in Montana but he's definitely raised there and when Jacob tries to mansplain hunting and offroading to him Staci just says "no offense (full offense actually) but I've been hunting probably as long as you have. There's not much legal shit a teen can do in a small town, it was either that or crystal meth at the goat house (it's called that cause the guy who lives there always has one goat out front)."

I'd love to hear your headcanons as well!

YOU'RE BEING HUNTED.

Random thought but, do you think shapeshifters ever forget what their OG self looks like? Or is it like one of those squishy slap toys that bounce back to their original shape?

I'm just imagining a shapeshifter that always has some new or different feature every time they revert to their "original form". Like they'll stick to the recipe but something is always different.

And maybe over time they become unrecognizable to the people they've met earlier in life. It'll still be the shapeshifters regular form but to others it's almost an uncanny valley situation.

Ps: They could use plastic surgery as an excuse for their face always changing!
