#I also have some uh... other headcanons which relate to Clancy's trauma which I shan't say...

[crypticcraftin]

hiiii hey hello!!! you should. share some of your clancybearer headcanons because sharing is caring . hand them over 😇🤲 also bcuz I love how you portray their relationship and I have become ill over your clancybearer stuff. in the best way possible I mean

SAY LESS!!!!

First off I am absolutely a 'they were childhood friends' truther. They were super close growing up, but eventually got separated and have spent the past ??? years trying to reunite. Shakespearean tragedy fr.

I don't think either of them Realized that their relationship had any kind of romantic connotations for like. a really really long time.

Clancy... look. I love Clancy, he is so smart, he's absolutely brilliant, really, but when it comes to people? BOYS?? he's the dumbest bitch on the planet, i fear.

I feel like he would absolutely be of the opinion "no, everything I feel about Torch is completely platonic" until he's. blindsided by the realization that no... you just like him. it's a you thing. Like Clancy's definitely had a conversation along the lines of "uh, yeah I think Torch is hot, *everyone* thinks Torch is hot 🙄🙄 thats nothing special" only for all the Banditos who are NOT attracted to him to look at him and be like... oh sweaty...

and then his immediate response to that realization is "i dont have time for this" and so he promptly shoves into a deep dark corner of his mind and ignores it for years.

and then when feel starts to feel safe enough for it to RESURFACE? Oh my god he's absolutely clueless. he has no idea how to FLIRT with someone!! he doesn't even know if Torch LIKES boys! (he does, everyone knows he does except Clancy) and he has no idea if Torch likes HIM! (he does, everyone knows he does except Clancy)

on Torch's end, he's been a bit too busy trying to Keep Clancy Alive to really sit down and think about the specifics of his feelings, okay?! and even if he did... it's too painful to consider, not when he knows Clancy could dissappear at any moment. he probably wouldn't even feel safe enough to acknowledge it at all until things calmed down, until they're more settled. and by that point- oh my god, Clancy is so traumatized from everything that's happened, romance is so, completely off the table right now. he isn’t in any kind of headspace for it. they both need to heal a lot before they get to a place where maybe... maybe they could try. try for real.

and then they kiss a bunch
