Have you done anything for grimsley yet 👀 the submas jealousy drabble reminded me that he exists I love that weird gambling man…maybe some general romantic headcanons for him? Thank you!

i have not anon, my gambling husband has been ignored in favour of the train husbands... let's amend that.

♠Grimsley♥

♤ He's a strange guy to date, for sure. Occasionally, he feels like a glorified roommate than a lover. He's like a cat when it comes to affection. Sometimes, he's all over you and literally will not leave you alone, while at others he's full on 'do not touch me'. (Like an affectionate cat, he also bites. It's never anything mean, though. )

♡ He's busy with league work often, and usually disappears without warning. You have to call him multiple times just to get an answer, and he apologises for it. He gets so caught up in his work that he forgets about you. You'll either grow used to it or talk to him about. If you do talk to him about, he's better about leaving notes or texts. It was never his intention to cause you any emotional turmoil.

◇ He knows he looks pretty frightening and uses it to his advantage to scare off anyone who's interested. No one gets too flirty with you before they deal with his leering and unsettling smirk. He is the jealous type, as he knows how beautiful you are. Anyone would be stupid to not gamble for your attention. A bit possessive, watch out for his teeth.

♧ Indifferent to PDA for the most part, and it plays back inconsistency with affection in general. Sometimes, he's glued to your side with an arm around your waist, while at others you seem like complete strangers. Don't think for a second he doesn't love you, he's just feeling detached for now. It will eventually go away, and he's back to acting like he'll die if he doesn't have a hand on you.

♤ He shows his love with gift giving and time together. He's a busy guy, so him slowing down and giving you hit time means he likes you a lot. Whenever he's out and sees something that he knows you'll like, he'll buy it without hesitation and bring it home to you. You're on his mind constantly, as much as he hates to admit it. It's a bit terrifying that he has someone so important to him. (Someone could use his affections toward you to hurt him. What if they hurt you? The thought haunts him.)

♡ Teaches you card games! You quickly become convinced he's cheating, but he assures you he's not. He proceeds to put down a royal flush during your poker game, and you do not believe him one bit. Grimsley is a nice guy; however, he lets you win a few times (so you don't stop playing with him). Also, definitely, cheated at Monopoly. You have no idea why you let him be the banker. (Also, play board games with him. He's pretty good at them and gets overly competitive. Never will you see a more passionate scrabble player.)

◇ You've 100% been to a casino (as his arm candy basically) and seeing him active in his secondary profession is unbelievable. His calls are quick, he determines bluffs with ease, probabilities are broken down in his head frighteningly fast. You begin to think he might not have been cheating. His concentrated face is entrancing, you'll find yourself hypnotised should you stare too long.

♧ If you were a trainer, he demands at least one battle out of you. It's a wonderful way to read somebody and see unexpected sides of people. The Elite Four member does not go easy on you. He's bitter, yet amused if you win. You're a better trainer than he first expected, and now he has to know more about your style. If you lose, he has his signature smug smirk but offers to train you. Your potential is unmistakable to him, and he wants to see you grow.

♤ Overall, he's a strange guy who sends mixed signals, but does actually love and care for you. Grimsley just had odd quirks and ways of showing it. Communication is important with him, but you'll be left wondering if he'll listen. (He brings you an expensive gift if you tell him that. It's something that you had only mentioned in passing, so it proves he is listening. At least, a little.)

☆꧁✬◦°˚°◦. ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ .◦°˚°◦✬꧂☆ " And you’re never truly gone As long as a part of you in me lives on " First off , thanks to Fran for the amazing song and second I heavily inspired it from an episode of demon slayer because in all honesty it's a perfect scenery to explain the whole concept I was going for. I've always like to headcanon when Joelle falls in her death trance , Chapter Dream keeps her memories alive and even giving it a real feel to it as well , displaying it to remind Joelle to not fall into the 'death pit of destruction' because she can literally delete anything in her path. So part of her memory gives her that piece of light she needs through her mother , reminding her that she will always be with her no matter what and no matter how much time has passed. I can't begin to even count the numbers I cried listening to the song while making this.. it really sparked the big feels and I am super proud of how it turned out!! Hopefully I'll get around to show more scenes in general from my arc to give a clear idea how her story is going to play out!! <3 - Cards ☆꧁✬◦°˚°◦. ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ .◦°˚°◦✬꧂☆

send a symbol for a headcanon about my muse.

★ :  what is your muse’s idea of perfect happiness?

a world in which he'll never get bored or run out of things to experience. seventeen needs a constant stream of things to entertain himself with or goals to achieve to feel a sense of normalcy. in the future timeline this manifests in wiping out all of humanity. in the present timeline he finds many more mundane outlets. he's the type to move from interest to interest. card collecting, martial arts, dancing, etc. there's a lot of smaller, more personal experiences the world has to offer that seventeen wouldn't be able to get enough of, especially from the perspective of someone who's presumably only known being a cyborg.

♠ : what’s the worst thing your muse has done to someone they loved?

this is gonna go on a long tangent at first but bear with me. on the topic of past lives, i have a lot of thoughts concerning how eighteen and seventeen grew up prior to becoming cyberized. even though they were born on the same day, eighteen's more mature demeanor (and the presumption that they went most of their adolescence without guardians) made her the "bigger" twin. seventeen being more immature and reacting more violently to their situation naturally made him the "younger" twin.

they've gotten themselves chased away from places for stealing, scamming and doing anything else they could to survive. they had a natural distrust of adults, so foster care was usually a no-go for longer than a few weeks. the lack of supervision and eighteen's need to stay near her brother meant that when seventeen would do something impulsive, they'd both take the brunt of it, sometimes eighteen more than him because she was tasked with finding a solution.

when they worked into a routine or solid situation, seventeen would find trouble coping in an environment where he doesn't need to always keep his guard up and sabotage it for the both of them. it's not one big instance but a string of smaller, equally destructive instances. even though eighteen always empathized and forgave him in the end, those setbacks were a big part of why they stayed vulnerable long enough to be eventually kidnapped. in the event that seventeen ends up remembering his past life, those times are the ones he'd regret the most.

✚ : what is the most frightening potential handicap or disfigurement your muse can conceive? what makes it so frightening?

i didn't know how to interpret this one so i'm gonna talk about what would scare seventeen himself. i think for seventeen specifically, it'd be losing his cyborg status. he would've been livid if shenron had actually been able to turn eighteen and him into humans again. a big part of seventeen's character development revolves around humanity and what it means to be human but it's more of a journey about embracing both the mechanic and organic aspects of himself.

even when he talks about humans or the concept of "good" and "bad", seventeen is still proud to be who he is. he can show disdain for red ribbon and dr. gero without that aggression turning inwards, because seventeen is confident in that aspect of himself. his pride in being a cyborg represents power over himself, in spite of being turned against his will. this doesn't mean that he never doubts himself or feels out of place, but he knows he'd never want to be human again.

being a cyborg adds a sense of numbness to seventeen that he enjoys. he experiences things in a more more restricted manner and he prefers it to be that way because it makes it easier for him to live with his trauma. people also expect less of seventeen emotionally due to the assumptions they make about his cyborg nature - less problems for him. to lose this emotional armor and go back to being an average person who (from his perception) can't help themselves would be his worst nightmare.
