Hi (:

What do you think about characters of "Inside out 2"? Do we have some lees here?

Ok I somehow didn't experience the original Inside Out until like 2 weeks ago, and then immediately rushed to theaters for the second one, and I have not been able to stop thinking about it since! Of course the first thing I started daydreaming about was the chaos that would ensue in Brain HQ during tickles. So yes, I've definitely got headcanons. XD

EMOTIONAL * RESPONSES

When Riley Gets Tickled

Joy squees, claps, bounces up and down, the usual. "AAAH Tickle time! Awww, our girl is still so adorable..."

Disgust: "Mm-mm. I hate this. Hate it. Majorly messing with my zen."

Sadness: *confused and a little uncomfortable*

Fear: *open-mouthed and deeply uncomfortable*

Envy gasps and hops up to the screen. "Omigosh omigosh they're touching us. That means they like us and think we're cute, right? Right?!"

Anger: "Oh, so that's how it's gonna be, huh?! You want a fight, kid?! I'll give ya a fight! Right up your -"

Anxiety: "Wait! There's a million possible variables in what'll happen if we decide to fight back! Accidentally punching them would be devastating to our network!"

Joy's not paying attention, she's too busy laughing and hammering the serotonin injector.

"I-I got it! Scream! Just holler, really loud!"

"GUHH, get out of the wayyyy; stop hogging this thing! We have to run! Come on!"

Ennui: *exists in French*

*Meanwhile Embarrassment is just spread out like a starfish and rolling his entire girth back and forth across the keyboard.*

When Riley's Tickling Someone Else

Joy takes the wheel here. The others know not to disturb a master plying her craft. She's an expert tickler, so she feeds Riley a whole bushel of fun ideas, and Envy is her eager troublemaker minion.

There is in fact a dedicated "Tickle" command button. The plastic is slightly stuck in the slot because it hasn't been used much.

Anger keeps trying to grab his levers and switches, but Joy usually shoves him to the side with her foot.

*tries to wrest control from Joy and rein her in*

*barfing in the corner somewhere*

When a Tickle Scene Pops Up in a Movie

Joy giggles happily and squirms in her seat, then boops the control panel so that Riley follows suit.

Disgust is a tiny bit antsy...she's not influencing Riley yet but she's on standby in case stuff gets weird.

Embarrassment gingerly taps the console at increasing intervals until Sadness pulls his arm away.

Ennui: Probably watching something else. Or doomscrolling.

When Someone Asks Riley if She's Ticklish

*screams like a little girl*

*hides, bangs head on the desk*

"That is NOT funny!"

"Oh no! What do we do; whaddawedo?! Riley's way too ticklish! What if they tickle us and don't stop for the rest of eternity?! What if they think Riley's laugh is weird and we're socially ostracized and forced to get a job in a fish cannery?!"

“Ew ew ew ew no. Lie. We have to lie right now!” *jumps for the controller*

*Joy grabs Disgust's arm* "Whoa whoa whoa, eeeaasy there. Let's just calm down...this is a fun question; we're having fun..."

Envy: "Ooo, what if they're ticklish and they want us to tickle them?" *already wiggling her fingers in the air*

"But if we misread that signal and make them mad at us, then..."

Ennui: *groans and taps her console app*

Riley, being super casual: “Meh…a little. Not really.”

Suddenly Riley's eyes dilate. Her throat hitches and there's the tiniest bit of pink in her cheeks. Everyone turns their heads to look at -

“EMBARRASSMENT!!! *dry heave* WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!”

"Ohhhh boy. There it is. We're doomed now."

When They Get Tickled Themselves

Come on, we all know that Joy always draws first blood. (Er...first giggle?) She's such a switchy monster. Tickling is her default method of cheering others up. It's canon. Case closed.

As someone whose default setting repels positivity, Sadness is not ticklish at all, and this actually upsets her.

*silently grabs the tickler by the neck and tosses them out the window*

Nobody protests like Disgust. She gets mad. She slaps. She hurls insults. She runs away. Disgust is both extremely ticklish and extremely touch-averse, so this is Code Red for her.

Fear is the type who doesn’t so much “laugh” as “have a shrieking, spastic outburst and breakdance like Sonic the Hedgehog in a malfunctioning taser-testing facility."

At first, Anxiety is overcome by stressful jitters, miserable and whimpering, and her whole body contracts. After a few moments of tickling, though, she starts to let all that tension out and relaxes into nervous vibrato laughter. It becomes sort of a therapeutic stress release, like her special chair.

It's not exactly the physical sensation of tickle torture that Envy craves, it's the attention. The sound she makes when tickled oscillates between wild, snorty cackles and the dulcet hoots of a baby owl trapped in a pinball machine.

Ennui is dead. No reaction. Her body is a neurological cemetery. ...EXCEPT for her heels and the back of her knees. (And if you thought phone loss made her experience Vietnam flashbacks...)

What do you think Embarrassment does? He plops himself down on the floor and pulls his hoodie so tight around his face that no one can tell if he's laughing or sobbing.

Misc.

As Riley's primary protector, Fear is always scouting ahead for any potentially-tickly environmental hazards, and gently nudges her away from catastrophe ("you forgot your shoes! put them back on before you walk on grass;" "don't lift your arms up around Bree and Grace;" "those massage chairs in the mall are actually full of rusty knives and drug dealers sleep on them;" etc.)

When Riley gets tickled, the emotions don't "feel" it, exactly, but they perceive something of a contact buzz.

These are typically how the reactions go, but they're not universal. If Riley's been in a bad mood, Anger might be more proactive in grabbing the handles. Embarrassment may have more or less of his body mass pancaking the buttons, depending on who's tickling her. (Like...a boy?! Or Val?! Or -) Standard variations like that.

Riley

Riley has an extremely ticklish tummy! She’s sensitive all over, but that's her death spot. (Just the vibe I get; IDK.)

Bree and Grace are really ticklish too, but Riley is the weak link... the member of the trio that the other two team up against. Lots of tickle fights and sneak attacks.

She obviously loves to laugh and goof around with her friends, but probably isn't over-enthused by that last part.

Val

The most popular girl in school, the tough athletic one - her adulating devotees wouldn't think it, but beneath that too-cool exterior, Val is very vulnerable to tickling.

All the other Firehawks know, and like to tease Val by poking her.

She's a good sport about it and takes it like a champ - just yelps and laughs and pushes back. They have fun.

Her biggest weakness is her feet.

Lance Slashblade

Crop top alert. The abs are asking for it. (Just sayin.')

The thought of being tickled is intolerable to him. Even in this...what should be a moment of joyous camaraderie...he is haunted. Forced to laugh like...like some sort of...clown swordsman?! How could he be so weak...so degraded...so unworthy to carry the holy blade of his ancestors, they whose destinies were written in the stars ere these centuries long past? Will he never be a true warrior, with the strength to stem the tide of encroaching night? It is too painful to think about...the icy whips of humiliation, always ravenous and bitter in their lashes, strike! and cast him into the shadows and okay the joke's over now we're getting long-winded and edgelordery big words drama sparkling vampires and junk

(Also, yes, he Morph-Balls himself.)

[sl-vega]

Hi Vee, I would like to request a sick! gn reader with some of the genshin characters (Yae Miko, Wanderer, Albedo, and Kazuha) where reader can’t really talk all to well cause of said sickness. What sort of shenanigans would ensue as our dear reader tries to communicate. It’d also be really cool if the reader knew a bit of sign language and tried to communicate that way (your choice on whether the characters know it or don’t). Have a lovely morning/day/evening!

NOW I'M (LOVE)SICK

pairings: Yae Miko, Albedo, Wanderer, Kazuha x [GN!] Reader

genre: fluff, established relationship, headcanons/drabbles, canon compliant, sick! reader, reader knows sign language

synopsis: in which your s/o tries their best to make you feel better since you've fallen ill

CW: mild language, potentially ooc, vee doesn't know how to do headcanons so you have been warned

additional notes: lol perfect timing for this request cuz I'm actually sick rn // header credits: yae header by @/k1aya on pinterest, albedo header by @/kuno on pinterest, wanderer header by @/ggoldiz on pinterest, Kazuha header by @/detailuffy on pinterest

YAE MIKO-Divina Vulpes

miss girl would be babying you 100%

kinda acts more like your mom than your s/o in this case tbh

"I told you not to go adventuring in the rain!" but then she goes back to saying shit like "aww you poor thing~, let me get some soup for you"

yae would also tease you too, cuz yk, she's yae miko

since she's not human, I don't think she can get sick, well not any human diseases at least

she tries her best to be there for you though, probably reads a bunch of light novels from her publishing house to help you fall asleep

if you try to communicate via sign language to her, she probably just hushes you and grabs your hands so you stop frantically making hand signs

cuz she wants you to get your rest

I think she does know a little sign language, but she never really committed to learning it, she'd gladly start for you though

ALSO

i think she'd turn into her fox form and let you cuddle with her like she's a stuffed animal

totally not projecting rn

ALBEDO-Princeps Cretaceus

he'd def send sucrose over to check on you if he's busy, but once he's done with his work, he is SPRINTING over to check on you

✨he's a runner he's a track star✨

maybe it's just me but I feel like Albedo would be the type of boyfriend that worries over you a lot

when he does come over, he probably has lots of concoctions that are supposed to clear your throat, but they're probably made of...

less than delicious materials

and you aren't becoming your boyfriend's personal test subject no thank you, not today

since he has a little sister, he knows how to take care of you

probably has experience cuz klee would get super sick after running around in the rain for too long-

makes you chicken soup, and tea, the usual

if you try to communicate with him via sign language due to losing your voice, he'll probably have the same reaction as yae

just forces you to go back to sleep

he def knows sign language (mr. genius🙄) but he wants you to get better as soon as possible

klee also comes over at some point, probably tells you some crazy story about how she tried to blow up dawn winery with diona or smth-

her and Albedo also make some get well cards for you once you fall asleep as well <3

WANDERER-Peregrinus

this mf

if you've heard his voice lines you already know what this bastard would say to you

he'd call you weak and say shit like "a small illness has already rendered you helpless? how pathetic..."

THE FACT I CAN PERFECTLY HEAR HIM SAY THAT-

he's a puppet so he's never been sick cuz he can't get sick either

nahida would probably slap him and scold him and tell him to be nicer though

on the inside he's super concerned about you

lowkey, he's afraid of losing you

not that he'd ever admit it-

(tsundere scara for the win)

he's worried that you're going to end up like the child he used to live with, and that you'll become "powerless before your mortality" as he'd like to say

same as yae + albedo, if you'd try to communicate with him via sign language he'll tell you to sleep

(in a slightly aggressive way but he's scara what do you expect?)

i don't think he knows sign language at all tbh

he'll ask nahida about it and he'll probably start borrowing books from the akidemiya and practices in secret for you

he WILL ruin his sleep schedule for you but he'll probably just brush it off and be like: "meh, it was easy."

when in reality this mf has spent an AGONIZING amount of time just to try and impress you

he'll make you tea too, the bitter kind

the VERY bitter kind

oml this sounds like scara slander 😭 dw I actually really like him

KAEDEHARA KAZUHA-Acer Palmatum

like albedo, he'd be super worried about you

tells beidou that he needs to make sure you're okay before the crux leaves for it's next destination

brings you tea, soup, and writes cute little love poems for you while you rest in his lap

tells you stories about his travels while holding your hand and sappy stuff like that

kazuha is a top tier boyfriend fr fr

unlike the others, if you tried to communicate with him via sign language, he let you teach him certain phrases

i think he knows a little bit due to his travels so he's picked up on a bit of it

he thinks it's really cute of how you try to explain things to him since you can't speak so you probably alternate between the hand signs themselves and pen and paper

VERY attentive to you

"slow down love, we have all the time in the world."

Why I Think Sissy's Bedroom Was The Luggage Room

Also Thoroughfare and Sissy Slaughter (especially with my Family OC that I made specifically to be her best friend and how they met on the road) >>>>

Also I apologise if any of the GIFs or pictures are of shitty quality, this is QUITE the post, apparently-

So one thing that has always annoyed me about The Family House, especially since we now have Nancy's House, is that not everyone has a bedroom!! And I know it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but to me it does!! Grandpa, Drayton and Nubbins all have rooms, and Nubbins' room is the biggest and has plenty of room for two (also in Museum Mode, which, as I've previously stated, I believe to be what the House canonically looks like outside of the puzzles and regular in-game functionality, there's a second mattress in Nubbins' room that could have once been Choptop/Bobby's).

But yeah, Sissy and Bubba lack bedrooms. Now, Bubba has since moved to the basement, which has a number of beds in it, so we know he at least has somewhere to rest his head. I choose to think that the Study was Bubba's childhood bedroom that Drayton has since turned into a second office for himself.

But either way, he know Bubba has a bedroom somewhere, even if it has changed.

But then...

Where did Sissy sleep growing up?

We know that she lived at the Family House when she grew up because she ran away from there when she was in her teens or early twenties. Which means she had a bedroom. Now, it's possible that she shared a room with the twins since some people think that they are triplets, but I personally believe Sissy to be slightly older than the twins, but share the same mother (I have made three different family trees for the game's family 🧍 and I know the whole point is that we don't know HOW they're a family, only that they ARE a family, but my dumb ass likes concrete connections so if y'all wanna see those, let me know). I also feel like with that many rooms, they could surely carve out a space for their only daughter, surely? So, if not with the twins, and if there's no room now...

Where did Sissy sleep and what happened to her room?

Here's my proposal; The Luggage Room.

Firstly, this is one of the only rooms inside the house that have a Poison Station for our gal to use. There's one in the back porch area, which makes sense. Kinda like a conservatory with plenty of sunlight for her plants, but it only holds one... Sprig? Of her poison. There's another in the basement, but like, what business does she have being down there? None! That's Bubba's domain, it's likely down there just so she has more poison nearby for gameplay reasons. But upstairs, there are two sprigs (?) and it feels a little more tucked away. There's something about the way that her Stations are designed that feels girlish and cosy, like as a child, she painted those flowers and as she got older, got better at drying flowers and making and preserving things for it. Not to mention all the boxes underneath with the bone charm, it's very "this demands space, but we don't really want to acknowledge that space", it's being used for storage, it's in a corner, it likely scarcely gets used anymore.

Also I don't think the fusebox is usually in here. Again, it's for gameplay variety, I headcanon that it actually always is in the room next to Nubbins', it feels like a space carved out for electronics.

There's also the fact that this is called the Luggage Room.

These people don't travel!!!

And yes, I know, this could be luggage from victims, but they already have a bunch of that piled up in the Den. For a 'luggage room', there isn't a lot of luggage in it at all! Three little trunks. One big one. The rest is wrecked furniture and bone art. For a luggage room, you'd expect it to be full of suitcases and trunks and backpacks, but no. Four. That's it. (Unless I'm missing one or two, but my point still stands!!!)

Now, I'm not saying this room is called the Luggage Room because Sissy travels, luggage = travels, therefore luggage room = Sissy's bedroom. But for being a room name for its purpose, it doesn't serve its purpose very well.

But if it's "the luggage room", something Drayton muttered to someone once when they asked, or when Sissy demanded to know why her room was destroyed he just made something up on the spot, it'd make more sense than just taking it at face value.

There's also the sheer state of disrepair that this room is in. I think this room has the most damage of any other in the Family House, even the basement is more structurally sound. But I believe the reason for this is more story or character driven than anything else.

No one is happy that Sissy left. Every single member of the family is pissed off or upset that she ran away, and Johnny and Nancy are even more angry that she came back (Johnny because she could have started a new life, something he's always wanted to do, but failed and came back, and Nancy because... Internalised misogyny and Boy Mom Syndrome™-)

I think that once they realised she was gone, after a few days went by and the realisation dawned on them that she wasn't coming back?

Someone, or maybe multiple people, took their anger out on her room.

But who would have done that?

In my mind, there are four candidates.

1. Bubba

We know our sweet lil skin wearing boy doesn't exactly handle his emotions super well. We also know that he is extremely protective of his family, and that Sissy is (in my opinion, going from voice lines alone) possibly the only member of the family who loves him unconditionally apart from maybe Nubbins. Drayton is Drayton, Johnny is nice to him, but does see him as a killing machine, Nancy babies him and we can assume that Hands really cares for him (I actually think that Bubba would be Hands' favourite if not for Johnny), but he communicates in growls and purrs (very hot growls and purrs, mind you, but growls and purrs nonetheless), so we don't know for sure.

Sissy is his sweet big sister. She's kind to him, genuinely, no strings attached. I also headcanon that she gives him her old makeup and seeing her get dolled up made him want to start doing it too, but that's besides the point. Sissy, like everyone in that family, means the world to him. And so when he finds out she's... Gone? That she abandoned him, him, her baby brother?

He just can't help himself. It was an accident, of course, a tantrum, one he immediately regretted and thus tried to cover up with newspaper and cardboard, but the damage was done. I think he is probably the only person Sissy would forgive for doing this to her room. I also believe he is the only one capable of cutting a hole like that in the wall, which is why he's the first candidate on my list.

2. Nubbins

Honestly? I think he's least likely. But he's here at spot number 2 because he's not as interesting as Bubba's reasons and I have better ones on the way, so it's a forgettable spot and it's my list, okay? I can format it any way I want, bitch.

Nubbins and Sissy get on well enough. He irritates her, definitely, but she matches his crazy and he's her lil brother, albeit far more annoying than Bubba and Bobby. He's angry at her for leaving, but he doesn't harp on about it, only mentioning it once and using it more to brag about how close he is to Grandpa than to make her feel bad. He actually cares about her travels and references stories she's obviously told him, meaning that not only does he listen and take an interest in her life, but that she trusts him enough to tell him about something that clearly means a lot to her.

He's not angry, really, and definitely not enough to destroy her room. But I also think he's far more torn up about Bobby!! That's his twin brother, gone to Vietnam, of course he's more upset at him going and eager to have him back than his big sister running off to see the world. It's interesting that Nubbins' voice lines for Choptop are the only ones we have yet to hear, but I'm banking on him being elated that he's home rather than being angry that he left. Also this will be the first time we get to see the twins together in any capacity, like they have never interacted on screen before, I can't wait!!!

3. Johnny

We know from the Lore Stream that Johnny and Sissy used to be very close when they were younger, but once she ran away, Johnny felt betrayed, and even more so when she came back.

He wants nothing more than to leave this behind and live a normal life. But he knows, deep down, that Nancy is right; he wasn't born a Slaughter, but he was raised as one, and he can't pretend that he wasn't. He is Family, and so he doesn't even try to leave. Apart from trips with Uncle Hands, he's stuck here and he knows it.

So when Sissy leaves, that hurts enough, his closest cousin (in my headcanon) running off and doing what he wants to do.

But then she ruins it for herself. Starts killing, joins cults, gets messy. She's the Terror of I-40, and people know her face. She can't just go back out there, not really. So she fucked up, and now she's blown her chances out there and has to come back. And she's different now, she believes crazy things and talks about stuff Johnny will never experience and has seen places he could only dream of, but even still, she's back here now, just like the rest of them. She proves to him that even if he did go? He'd still be a fucked up serial killer, and he'd eventually get himself caught. So, really, better stay home, huh?

But I don't know if he'd wreck her room over it. He's volatile, sure, but I don't see him doing that. He has other ways to get his anger out, probably drinking and killing, he doesn't need to destroy her stuff. But his reaction to her and their relationship and how it's changed is super interesting. I don't personally ship the two, no judgment if you do and I can definitely see the appeal if they weren't cousins, blood related or not, but the way they have changed and the way they went from being super close to almost enemies is so interesting. I also headcanon that Johnny leverages some of Sissy's guilt about leaving him and the others in order to get her to help him kidnap and hide Maria, but that's not exactly relevant rn-

4. Drayton

Something I find really interesting about Drayton in comparison to everyone else is that he just wants Sissy to stay home.

"why can't you just stick with the family"

Nancy wants her gone, doesn't care about her at all, Johnny's angry that she came back, Nubbins is largely ambivalent to the whole thing. But Drayton wants her to stay, and is more than willing to say that (albeit, indirectly. I think he'd rather eat Nancy's boiled and unseasoned dinner than admit his real, actual feelings to his family). He worries about her out there, in his own way ("I ain't never trusted that trash you scurry around with"), and obviously he didn't turn her away at the door upon her return.

We also know that Drayton has a few interesting habits. @/ofthehands (idk if they're comfortable being tagged) on here has some amazing character analysies of Drayton (specifically from the films, but I feel like it applies here too), and one especially that references his childhood and his habit for hoarding which I really recommend. But it makes sense, at least to me, that he would be the one to shove a bunch of crap into her old room and fill the space, especially in an attempt to remain 'unfeeling' about her running off.

There's also, again, the fact that the room has been patched up after the damage was done. Ever-practical Drayton would absolutely see to it that the rook was fixed up as soon as possible, you know, to keep the house looking "nice".

I can see him going in there after the realisation kicks in. His little and only sister (again, going off my family tree). Gone. Left. Because she wanted more? Because she was different? Because she was unhappy? He doesn't understand. Hasn't he tried to make this house a home? Hasn't he done so much for them all? Hasn't he always? And he just... Blacks out. Comes to with the room completely battered. Never speaks of it, orders Bubba and Nubbins to clear the place out, but won't let them touch her flower table. He didn't touch it either. He doesn't know why. But over the next few months, he patches it up to the best of his abilities and, when he needs space for his collections, he shoves them in there. It's just a room now, right? Gotta be practical about it.

I think it could have been any one of them, or even a combination. Maybe Bubba and Drayton had the same idea, same reaction. Who knows. But it's destroyed now, and Sissy has nowhere to sleep. I imagine now she takes one of the sofas downstairs.

Now, here's something that is VERY English student of me, but I didn't get those two A* for nothing, and I'm not getting my degree for nothing either, so here we go:

Outside the Luggage Room are these two birds. These models are not unique to this area or even this map, but what is unique about them is the way they are placed. In regular gameplay, we pass by this spot so many times, it's kinda hard to notice or care about it. But once I noticed it, and especially once I saw it in Museum Mode and private custom matches, I fell completely in love with it.

There is a light that casts the shadows of the birds on the slanted ceilings, making this corner just so... Idk, special?? To me???

But it means something to me that this corner is right outside the Luggage Room. Birds symbolise a lot of things, but most commonly, freedom.

Sissy longs for freedom and adventure, she wants to break free from the Slaughter House and her family and be her own person. But when she tries, she is immediately forced to become everything she seemingly didn't want to be because the world was not a place of adventure or fun. It was dark, and bleak, and full truckers who wanted something from her, something she didn't want to give, something she had to kill to protect...

And then her hands were bloody. Of course she knew how to kill, she's a Slaughter for god's sake. But was this her first? Did she just hop out of the truck and keep going on her way? Or did she sit there?

Sit there with this body, shaking, terrified, because she just killed someone. All on her own, and she's too far from home to get help getting rid of his guy or to bring him back for dinner. She can't go home now, and prove Drayton right. She has to keep going. If only she could snap out of it.

We know how her years away go. But when she's back, she doesn't want to stay. Has no plans on doing so. She's still that bird, longing to get away from all of this, give it one more go.

But, just like those birds in that corner, she can never be her real self. She will always be a shadow of a person, scurrying from place to place after slitting a throat or stealing a new dress, she can never be truly free, she will always be held back by who she is, who she was raised to be. She will never leave the birdcage; she is just like the rest of them, only she has a string tied around her ankle that lets her fly just that little bit further, the illusion of adventure.

I know that last point isn't proof that the room is hers. But it feels to me like a little hint at something, that whoever lives in that room is a songbird dying to take to the skies and never go back.

Just like Johnny, Sissy is a Slaughter. She can't just forget that. She can't just pretend she's someone else, it is as much a part of her as her own skin. So even if she tries, there will always be a tell, always be something not quite right about her, like they can smell it on her.

She just has to hope that they won't mind the stench.

... Oh wow that was a yap sesh huh-

[seb-reads31]

I have this one very very special headcanon for Bruce, the serial killer where I feel like he's into manipulating people into loving him or something like that. I have another headcanon where he likes to pinch young people's cheek NOT BUTT CHEEK I MEAN FACE CHEEK

🔪The Serial Killer🔪

Tw's - Killing (duh), mentions of manipulation, mercenary work, just a general warning for this man 💀💀

Comments - This is just gonna be me adding onto this- I now have to add onto the key. Cry-

Random thoughts:

🔪 I have the feeling he hates kids in all honesty

🔪 He either A. Has a short temper, or B. Gets incredibly irritated by certain things

🔪 He gives me the vibes that he manipulates on occasion

🔪 Not exactly a relationship type of guy thanks to his.. occupation

🔪 These are interesting ideas, but don't exactly match him

🔪 He has probably turned on the charm to get out of sticky situations, but that's as far as it goes

🔪 The less he has to build a relationship with a person the better

🔪 Hence why he's been on the run for so long without getting close to being caught

🔪 My random head canons feel, odd? Or just kinda basic 💀

🔪 I feel like he does pinch the cheeks of people he's messing with (if they're tied down or too injured to move) to try to get a kick out of them

🔪 He has the skills to manipulate people, but doesn't really use them unless if they're really needed. (I feel like I already said this but meh)

🔪 He barely gets sleep. Aaliyah's art of him has shown (sort of) that he has some sort of bags under his eyes (this could just be her art style however)

🔪 Doesn't have a very big knife collection personally, but when it comes to torturing people, he has a very wide variety he can choose from

🔪 Sucks at cooking, I will take no criticism on this

🔪 Not a touchy person, tries to avoid touching people as much as possible

🔪 Hence the gloves (minus OBVIOUS reasons)

🔪 The cheek pinching however is for him to try and tick off the person he's talking to/torturing

🔪 He also slaps them if he feels like they're getting too brave for their own good

🔪 He's a bit trigger happy I feel like

🔪 I feel like if someone angers him enough, he'll plot for about a couple of days the perfect murder then go for it

🔪 I don't know if he does have a job outside of his very obvious occupation/favorite activity, or if he's a mercenary

🔪 I want to throw out a couple of ideas of what he might be, but I can't think of anything 💀💀

🔪 Nothing I can think of fits-

🔪 I was thinking something in the medical field, which would add onto the sleepless nights, but it would become too much physically

🔪 He's not a classic office worker for a corporate business because he either has a short fuse or gets frustrated/annoyed easily

🔪 So I can only think of a professional assassin that runs his own business and still does field work

🔪 He mentioned that he had a couple of "friends" but added on the fact that they were only being nice to him because he's their boss (do correct me if I'm wrong)

🔪 So that feels the most logical

🔪 If I'm right however, he runs a very dangerous business, and was probably contracted to attack our school.

🔪 He saw us, saw himself in us, and wants us to go on the same path as him being a successful serial killer/assassin/paid mercenary (I don't know if an assassin and mercenary are the same so let me know if they are-)

Notes - This was very interesting to think about, and do keep in mind that these are my personal opinions of the character, you're completely allowed to think whatever about him or any other character you want.

Headcanon: stats are canon to the TES world

I mean. There's actually potions and spells that boost shit like your Personality and Armourer. It could just be a gameplay thing, but like. They're so ubiquitous in Oblivion and Morrowind (less so in Skyrim, which doesn't have attributes. I'm ignoring that game for this) that I feel like it wouldn't make sense for it to just be a gameplay thing, and on top of TES's already whacky lore?

Yeah. It makes perfect sense for Attributes and Skills to just be things in Tamriel. There's probably magical tests to figure out what numbers exactly you have, but it's a well known thing that having more Willpower lets you regenerate Magicka more quickly, and that having low Personality and Speechcraft will make people more likely to hate you in sight.

Optimal skill leveling is treated like an exercise regime - there's people whose job it is to coach you as to what skills to use to most optimally level up your Endurance and shit when you level. People who are dedicated to optimal leveling are like bodybuilders. There's contests to see how high you can get all your stats by leveling, and using potions and magic to raise your stats is considered cheating.

Being born with unusually low Luck is treated like a disability, and people with low Luck are often turned down from jobs because "we don't need your Luck souring our business." Having low Luck only affects the person with the low Luck, but bigots will be bigots

Intelligence the Attribute has no relation to intelligence as in smarts. It's a myth that they do have a relation - but there's plenty of dumb mages (Ancano. That guy who makes the scrolls of Icarian Flight) out there that can disprove it.

The only thing aging does is lower your Attributes. Looking old is entirely cosmetic. The reason expert mages tend to live extremely long is because they just spam spells and enchantments to counteract the Attribute loss. It's a super well known anti-aging cheese, but quite a lot of people think that it damages your soul, or that it's only possible to see if you've made a deal with a deadra, so high-level mages only do it for themselves.

behold, a clusterfuck of headcanon

Derek lives. Was never a question.

Cora was a twin, which is why she's the most feral of the Hales, after Peter. Her twin was her anchor, so she's had a tough time adjusting, even years and years later.

If Eli is around, either he was adopted, or an open sperm donation situation that turned into a partial custody one.

Boyd and Erica lived, but? They maybe ended up in Satomi's pack, due to their rough start with Derek. They're all cool now, but? It took a hot minute to get there. And yes, Boyd & Erica are totally together. Of course they are.

Scott is a lovely squishmallow of a person who believes in second chances and friendship, but also doesn't mess around when his loved ones are at risk. He may not choose violence, but he knows Stiles will, if only so he doesn't have to. It's part of what he appreciates most about his brother from another mother.

Scallisaac and Malira are canon, because gimme my bi polys and sapphic badasses.

Stiles & Derek are Pack "mom" & "dad," regardless of context (I'm a multishipper, ok, and love QP Sterek as much as shippy Sterek)

If it ain't romantic with Derry/Der-Bear/Bun Bun (credit to Laura for all three) and Stiles? Then our Boy Who Runs With Wolves is busy mooning over the Danger DILFs of BH. Aka, Chris & Peter (who aren't adverse to the attention).

Petopher is my utter jam (especially with bonus! Awkward Sibling Interactions tm between Ally & Malia)

IF Talia lives, she is either the DA or the Mayor. I don't make the rules.

IF Laura lives, she runs a Hale family owned & operated Wolf Sanctuary on the Preserve. Since the pack isn't small, nor subtle...and growing... having real wolves around makes all the howling less conspicuous. Plus! They can keep the Preserve healthy with the presence of their healthy wolf pack.

Peter is.....nobody is quite sure. They think maybe an antiquarian, but also he's made jokes nobody is sure are jokes about his time as an underground porn star.

Peter & Stiles get along extremely well. Anyone who knew Peter at Stiles' age might even comment on how similar they are. Shippy context aside? Peter quietly calls dibs, teaching him how to be a good Left Hand, because Spark or no...Stiles isn't a diplomatic pacifist. He's not emissary material.

...on that note, if anyone? Chris could probably step in, if needed, but? Well. Deaton already has Scott half-trained as the next Emissary. It may not be traditional for an emissary to be a wolf, but? He's good at compassionate diplomacy, so why tf not.

Stiles' first language is Polish. Half of his word salad is his brain moving faster than he can talk. Bc adhd be like that sometimes. The other half is him having minor PHRASING?? meltdowns, bc "i know the meaning of the word i want, but can't find said word in the language i need rn, fCK".

Derek doesn't find out Stiles' actual first name til the latter is 21, when he shoves his DL in Derek's hands. Derek considers it a fair trade off for having to witness his ""dancing"" while sober.

I'm not a Stydia shipper. I'm fine with it, but for me? I prefer them as terrifying bffs who are too brilliant and chaotic for their own good. They either save the day, or blow shit up. There is no real middle ground. They are the in it to win it types, ok.

Derek is alive.

Sterek is real and canon.

Eli is Stiles and Derek's son.

Boyd and Erica are safe and sound and are a couple.

Sheriff Stilinski's name is John.

Scott is either with Allison / Kira / Isaac or with Allison AND Isaac.

Stydia is just an old nightmare: Stiles and Lydia are best friends and nothing more.

Petopher is also canon.

Laura is dead or alive but either way she's a badass, beautiful woman who calls (/called) Derek Dear-Bear.

Malia is bi and possibly polyamorous.

If Talia Hale is alive and has a job, then she's a lawyer (or similar).

Derek speaks with his eyebrows.

Scott has puppies eyes.

Stiles and Peter get along very well or at least are similar in personality.

Ethan & Tiffany: Endgame (HC)

A quick reminder: I've rejected canon Third Year completely, so mind that none of OHTY bs happens in my E&T canon timeline.

A/N: I tried my best to write every major fact down - hopefully the final product isn’t too messy or too boring, I’m new to the headcanon business and this isn’t even written in the headcanon form because I’m a rebel lol

Huge thanks to the lovely Anon who requested this HC and every single one of you still interested in E&T’s shenanigans, your support is the greatest gift I could ever receive! If you have some more specific questions about these two, feel free to hit my askbox anytime 💕

Now let’s check what’s in store for Tiffany and Ethan!

Children

Neither of them planned children in their lives; they were perfectly comfortable in the relationship they had—living together, advancing their glittering careers while supporting each other, slaying the game as the ultimate power couple.

But life has its ways, of course, and a week prior to their third anniversary Tiffany found out she was pregnant. The news sparked blind panic in the 30-year-old doctor; she thought her whole world fell like dominoes. Tiffany wouldn't intentionally start a family: she'd just started turning her dreams and plans into reality and she didn't even consider herself fit to be a mother (even though deep down she craved it).

She'd spent an entire week full of doubts, listing all her options, before she finally shared the news with Ethan. His reaction was surprisingly calm, considering his stance on having children. Based on the evidence gathered throughout the week, he'd already suspected pregnancy and did some calculations on his own.

They both agreed it wasn’t the best time—their busy schedules didn’t allow them to even reconsider the concept of starting a family. Nevertheless, the baby was coming, and their hearts filled with strange excitement. Having a baby on board seemed surreal at first, but after the dust had settled they felt oddly content about the unforseen circumstances.

E&T's world turned upside down the second their son was born. Raising a child happened to be the greatest challenge these two brilliant doctors had encountered. Luckily, they both relish a good challenge. Guided by the unexpected overflow of affection, they quickly settled into the alien routine of parenthood.

Nathaniel Jonah (also known as NJ, Nate) turned out to be a perfect blend of his parents' most prominent features & traits: Ethan's ocean eyes and stubbornness mixed with Tiffany's smile and warm heart.

Three years later, another surprise awaited. The most shocking thing about the second pregnancy was that it didn't happen sooner (they'd been exceptionally careless). Nicolette „Letty”, a spitting image of her mother, stole Ethan's heart from the start, bringing even more joy to their controlled chaos.

The fancy condo was too small for a family of four, so The Ramdams were forced to find a new home. They moved to a dreamy house in the Boston suburbs merely a month before their daughter was born.

The third one (for a change) received a proper invitation to this world. Tiffany wasn't the biggest fan of the idea of having another baby, but her window was closing (she was 38) and Ethan's palpable excitement tipped the scales. Everyone jokes Aine must be adopted because she's the most unproblematic angel, unlike her parents.

The family wouldn't be full without pets: Nettie (British Shorthair cat) & Hopper (English bulldog).

Marriage

Marriage was never on their agenda. Neither of them felt the need to make their relationship formal, it wouldn't change anything between them—they were already acting like a married couple. Both Tiffany and Ethan think there are more valuable symbols of love than some paper signed in the presence of everyone they know. Partnership they were in seemed like the most comfortable and obvious choice.

The topic resurfaced with the pregnancy news. Our good guy Ethan, our Mr Must-Do-What’s-Right, proposed to Tiffany on their third anniversary dinner, right after they discovered they were expecting. He did it because it made sense. Because it was convenient. Because it was a decent thing to do.

But guess what...Tiffany rejected the proposal. She didn’t want to marry out of obligation. If they were really going to jump into marriage, she wanted it to matter. Ethan understood her point of view, though it didn't stop him from jokingly annoying her on every given occasion that she rejected him.

He waited two years before popping the question again. This time she said yes.

Dr. Grumpsey was willing to agree on a lavish wedding if Tiffany would insist. Lucky for him, his woman hates big, conventional weddings and all that unnecessary attention around the reception. They're both very private people, so they planned the wedding they were actually excited about.

They eloped to Miami where it all started, exchanging vows to the accompaniment of the ocean waves, with little NJ by their side. The wedding reception was just three people enjoying their day at the beach.

As you may suspect, their friends and family flew into a rage when they found out the wedding took place behind their backs. Jackie's death threats were particularly disturbing, so E&T decided to throw an afterparty for their loved ones only.

Career

Tiffany saw her future in diagnostics and followed that path, balancing her personal goals with striving for improvement in patient care. The word about her accomplishments with one of the best diagnostics teams spread fast; shortly after her challenging yet successful residency, Doctor Addams quickly proved to be one of the most valuable and respected diagnosticians—not only at Edenbrook, but also statewide, and later nationwide. She cracked some of the toughest, most hopeless cases, saving lives of many patients considered lost causes.

During her first pregnancy, her career was already on high speed and the situation made her even more determined to keep it that way. She didn't want to sacrifice her newly established position and Ethan did everything he could to support her and her career development.

She remained a vital part of Edenbrook's Diagnostics Team under Ethan's leadership for a few years. Their minds combined gave spectacular results and above it all they truly enjoyed working together. However, when Letty was born sharing responsibilities at home and managing the time got significantly harder. With minimal hesitation, Ethan decided it was his cue to leave.

He'd been thinking about the change for much longer than he was willing to admit: over the years he'd accomplished everything he could dream of and Edenbrook had become more of a duty than a challenge. So he quit, leaving the team in the most capable hands of Doctor Addams-Ramsey.

For a year and a half The Ethan Ramsey was a stay-at-home dad, juggling family, research for his second book and setting up his clinic with none other than Tobias Carrick.

Ethan wasn't 100% convinced if starting the practice with Tobias would be a wise move, but the clinic exceeded his expectations. Apart from the great sense of accomplishment, he finally gained full independence at work. And there were no bloody interns to babysit anymore.

When little Ramdams got older, he approached Tiffany with a job offer; the best diagnostician in the country was the last missing link in his clinic. She let it marinate for a few years and accepted the offer at the launch of her second book, soon after Letty's 18th birthday.

Thanks for reading 🥰 I have a few exciting fics in the making (both AUs & canon) and I hope I’ll be able to finish them soon!

[meirimerens]

Daniil and Andrey. Or just Daniil and the Stamatins in general. Give me your thoughts I need you to hand them over please

knuckle crack. also if i'm incomprehensible it's 5:30AM here and i have yet to sleep

daniil and andrey meeting up at uni (canon). andrey was the first guy who likes guys daniil ever saw, so they bonded over daniil coming out to andrey (more on that later) and andrey swearing he'll go with his secret to his grave. if you must know i think known slut andrey saw dankovsky and was like "😏 oh you cute lil thing... i wonder if you like guys... 😏" and then dankovsky opened his mouth to speak and andrey crossed his heart and thought "the way i'm never thinking that again. on god i'm never making a move on you".

university hijinks screenshots (prolly some raunchy jokes in there but we keeping it PG13 i think, + classic closeted daniil scenes as i've stood by before)

if it's unreadable here's what it says:

screenshot 1:

pathologic headcanon ramblings. come here. daniil at uni. closeted. he known he's gay since he was 12 but he's been living since in a "damn that's crazy [that i like men]... time to never think about this again" (repeat every 2 weeks) goes to uni. very masculine environment and in the spirit of that running joke of old literature universities where all the male students starting kissing each other to the point where if you were NOT gay you were the odd one out, tons of gay men in here. guys just out of teenagehood, feeling free for the first time, striking up friendships and relationships, kissing at the after-dark students get-toegther. daniol being like. I um i um i um ummmmm. there's quite some alcohol in these soirées, it helps to celebrate after a big exam. daniil is a a lightweight and alcohol got him acting up a lil. he doesn't become like a slut or anything it's just all the repressed thoughts come back and he starts thinking his classmates are quite handsome quite fit quite... s... se..... no.... he can't say it..... so he gets drunk and then sits in a corner trying really hard to appear normal as if he was the odd one out there. thinking "god i sure hope they don't think i'm gay and hitting on them" as his classmates kiss and sit oneach other's lap. eventually he just stops drinking, attends the soirées as The Sober Guy. the fellas start to think he's a bit of a stuck-up and a buzzkill, but he ends up being the clear-headed one who walks them home as they're drunk so everyone just accepts that. he's That Guy right the Guy whose head is so deep in his books he doesn't even suck a dick from time to time he's just so in his BOOKS.

screenshot 2:

scene: one night, pre-exam day. the fellas are having a soirée, drinking to give themselves courage for tomorrow, Daniil decides to stay in his room and redo his notes. Andreiy walks in (it's during the year they're in the same university. they're already buddies at this point) and just kinda "😑😑😑" "what." "not at the soirée?" "i'm busy." "you've been avoiding me. you've been avoiding us." "andreiy that's not--" "do you have something against men who kiss men? are you uncomfortable in our presence? tell me." silence. daniil turns to him swiftly, .___. expression on his face. andreiy is "🤨 ". "well? do you have something against it?" "andreiy jesus christ." (takes head in his hand.) "i don't." (covers mouth. uncovers) "... i don't when it's other people." silence. a few beats. andreiy's mouth falls open like shocked pikachu. then he closes it. "ah........." "yeah." "i see............. i'm sorry i asked" "it's fine." "well.... i'll leave you to your books and notes. " "thank you. have fun, andreiy" "thank you..." "..." "I hope you can accept yourself one day." "... yeah. i do too."

They bonded etc. if you must know i think andrey introduced dankovsky to his mom, and she was like 🤨 but then he was like "he's nothing but a friend 😇" and mom's like that's the first time you bring a guy in as "just a friend" in years, c'mon come in. etc. i also think andrey met dankovsky's mom, dankovsky's dad, who struggles with accepting his son's homosexuality and cannot see him next to a guy without shaking and crying in fear, was fucking Terrified to see andrey come in but was reassured by his wife and son that It's Not Like That Come On Now.

Dankovsky meets Peter day 1 of Daniil's Week Of Tortures. they hit it off because what peter says scratch a very deep itch. all of peter's speeches walk the tightrope between genuine balls-to-the-wall insane psychotic (as in: suffering from psychosis) ramblings and stuff that like..; could make sense... would make sense...maybe.

i think dankovsky accidentally comes out to him while drunk as shit and peter is just like 👍 and then forgets in the hour. they like to hang out and you have:

daniil and peter talking with each other. complete nonsense. incomprehensible. burakh who's sticking with dankovsky because they're like buddies they're like colleagues they're like trying to not hate each other. he's baffled by what the fuck is going on. rubin who's sitting next to peter. patting his back probably. looking at burakh straight in the eyes like "don't you wish your dude let you pat his back" and they just telepathically attack each other while dankovsky and peter talk. andrey is here because his scrunkly brother is here so of course i'll be here. he also needs to supervise any and all moves rubin makes on peter lest he dishonors him or something.

dankovsky sits with peter at the broken heart to talk while andrey and burakh throw hands. dankovsky gets mad they're gonna get blood on his coat that he left by the bar. classic

what were we talking about

[martelldoran]

unsolicited tfatws opinions because i have them vol. 1

warning: here be spoilers

starting on the positive because there were things i did like in the episode

things i liked

sam wilson: *exists*

me:

sam's storyline was definitely the strongest of the two in this ep and i liked pretty much everything he did.

the opening aerial fight! was! so! cool! seeing batroc again was a nice nod to tws too and an interesting parallel to steve's lumerian star fight. i loved seeing his quick tactical thing, seeing how he fights, and the way he utilises the wings even in close quarters.

sam speaks arabic!

sam fixes redwing! (validation of a hc of mine that he's good with robotics. maybe that's a widely held fandom one as well? idk)

i instantly found torres to be really endearing and i'm looking forward to seeing more of him throughout the series. the relationship between him and sam has a lot of potential.

the manipulation of the government and general set up for sam's storyline felt strong. good basis for a story and pertinent to the current political landscape.

sam's speech as he handed over the shield was well written and gave me the same kind of vibes as the 'the price of freedom is high' speech. they could be quite nicely paralleled side by side.

sam's family! look, i'm a sucker for domestic moments for our faves so the entire sequence where we got this insight into sam's past, his relationship with his sister, and where he's come from was brilliant. i like sarah a lot and seeing her frustration with her brother for trying to come in and fix things when he's been gone for so long felt really realistic. i felt for her a lot. because you can tell there's so much there bubbling under the surface, a mix of love and resentment and frustration that was palpable as they talked about what to do with their parents' house/boat/business. so, give me all of the sarah wilson moments pls n thnx.

seeing the consequences of the snap (hi, i am refusing to call it the fucking blip. marvel, my god, get better names for shit.) idk how in depth they're really going to go into it all but at least they attempted something here with the scenes at the bank.

bucky's nightmare sequence as the winter soldier. it was such a brilliant reminder about how terrifying tws actually is. he's silent and ominous and THAT MUSIC. his presence is legitimately unsettling from the moment you see him. (but he runs around like a bull in a china shop which does make me 🤔 when i remember he's supposed to be a g h o s t s t o r y. idk. not exactly stealth and shadow work. but that doesn't look cool on screen so 🤷🏻‍♀️)

and on that note, vindication of my 'they sleep on the floor after coming back' headcanon. literally had raymond holt screaming in my head the second i saw bucky wake up on his living room floor. does my heart break for him? yes. was i smug about being right? also yes.

leah seems cool. could she actually be telepathic??? since she hit every single one of bucky's boats while they played battleships? i would like to see it. 😂 there's def more to her character than meets the eye since she's slated to be in all six episodes.

bucky having one (1) old man friend even if the reason behind it was heartbreaking.

so, yeah. these things i genuinely liked.

things i didn't like

the therapy scene. i genuinely hated it. there's a different between a no nonsense therapist and someone being deliberately antagonistic and that definitely erred on the side of the latter imo. she tells him to 'get over it' and mocks him for not reaching out and meeting people. media in general doesn't do a good job of depicting therapy so this is just yet another poor offering into the canon. i'm tired. i want healthy depictions of therapy already. it's supposed to be a supportive environment ffs.

plus she kept calling him james 🤮 genuinely wouldn't be surprised if she turns out to be a bad guy plant. which i think is a cliche at this point? 🤔

bucky's new look. which i know we've seen before now but i've not offered my unsolicited opinion on it. it's just sebastian stan in an ugly leather jacket. it's generic male lead#346. it's broification. someone said they made him look like brock rumlow and now i can't unsee it. 😭 rip to bucky with the good hair. i'd have loved to see him with some curls tbh. or a wave that kind of calls back to his pre-war days. anyway. i digress. character design is 0/10.

would have been nice to see him cut his hair as a marker of him starting a new chapter and coming into his own personhood.

rhodey's disability was just? glossed over? no visible assistive tech at all?

the date. just the fact it was there at all. it was heavy handed and not subtle and we know why they put that in there within the first 10 minutes of bucky's screen time. that's all i'm going to say about it. if you follow me, you know where i stand. we don't need poorly written romance. get it in the bin.

there was no acknowledgement of bucky's relationship with steve. if there was a memorial to be had then bucky should have been there. maybe these will come later but i'm not holding my breath.

is steve dead? i assumed that the party line was that young steve died in the battle and no-one knew about old steve . but did they actually kill steve off-screen? what a kick in the teeth if that's the case. let me just cut open a wound for them to pour the salt straight into, shall i?

things i'm mostly neutral on

john walker. he looks like a cop and his wink at the camera gave me the creeps but i'm interested to see how that pans out. i hope sam beats 50 shades of star spangled shit out of him.

the flag smashers. premise of a world without borders is interesting and a believable concept given what's happened in universe. there's a lot of scope there i think. that said, the name is dumb.

right. i think that covers everything for now. my expectations going in were really low, i won't lie. before the premiere i tried to stay away from the trailers and tv spots and the hype in general so i was pleasantly surprised at how much i enjoyed certain aspects of the show.

in conclusion, some good, some bad, some ugly and i will be cherry picking my favourite nuggets for fic at a later point. also, i'm still a skrull!Steve truther. real steve is chilling with some wakandan goats 😌💖✨

[mlmdarkfiction]

Can I request maybe headcanons or whatevers easiest about a classmate who's affectionate to everyone so in turn him too. How would he be affected? Maybe he'd noticed or not but they're just a bit more affectionate to him. (Is this too fluffy? Do you write about more darker content? Apologies, I'm kinda new to your blog)

(Anon that was asking questions) I forgot to add the part where it should probably just be morbidly sweet I think.

No worries! I don’t just do darker content, in fact I think as of recently my blogs had a good middle ground of dark and not dark…Not to mention Hubert just deserves some morbidly cute fluff tbh…like…tbh…

This reader is basically just Mercedes but in the Black Eagles and a dude and you know what…that’s good. 

I’m doing HC’s and a fic because I really don’t like how the fic came out and I wanted to trash it but I already wrote this whole ass fic so I’m not throwing it out.

Head Canons:

OH HUBERT ABSOLUTELY NOTICES

Every single person that comes int his and Edelgards lives are looked over with a microscope.

That includes you. 

If you’re a noble he’s IMMEDIATELY far more suspicious of you than he would be if you’re simply a commoner. 

He concludes early on that you’re harmless, and more than that that one day your kindness is going to get you killed. 

Still he’s not oblivious to the way you linger around him, to the specific and different kindness you show him outside of the rest of the class. 

Hubert never does anything about it. 

At least until you stop, either because you’re busy with something else, or anything else. 

If you’re gone for a long period time, away from Hubert, then…

He will soon come to find how much he dislikes it when you’re not nearby, or when he can’t hear your joyful voice conversing with someone else. 

Of course he never expected to feel such things really…ever or for anyone. 

He feels an immense guilt about his feelings. 

Because you are a good person, and he is, in most peoples eyes, including his own, not. 

He fears to taint you.

But his own selfish whims outweigh these worries, as Hubert struggles to think of what his life would be like now without you in it, and how he would cope. 

More than anything else he hopes that when Edelgard’s plans begin to take hold that you’ll stay by his (and by extension her, side)

Fic:

Read on AO3:

Read Below: 

When you first joined the academy, no one, including Hubert, knew very much about you. And so, it took very little time for Hubert to decide he needed to know everything. After all what kind of retainer would he be if he didn’t look into the lives of every single person in their house?  Every single person who was going to be spending any long periods of time with Edelgard were going to be under his microscope.

What he’s found was…

Nothing of interest.

Your background was clean.

You weren’t from a family of nobles at all, you’d been recommended for Garreg Mach after making incredibly high marks at the Mage Academy in the Kingdom.

It was, for a time, enough to relax Hubert about your presence amongst them at the Monastery.

Then you became comfortable.

And the more comfortable you became, the more your true colors showed.

-

“Um- Everyone!”

You’re embarrassed, cheeks burning red as you hide the sweets you’d made behind your back. The professor had given you permission to give the cupcakes to everyone before todays mission.

A small moral boost curtesy of some sweet treats.

“I made cupcakes…as a reminder for us all to do our best out there today!”

The tray of treats moves so you can present them to everyone. Admittedly you’re not the best baker, but you thought it’s the thought that counts right?

You had even gone as far as to ice them accordingly, black on one side, red on the other.

“Oh, you’re the best ____!” Caspar is on you in an instant taking one of your cupcakes and proceeding to take a huge bite.

The others slowly file forward to get cupcakes as well, even the Princess herself.

“Thank you, ____. This is very sweet of you.”

Seeing everyone eating cupcakes and having a good time before the mission…

It makes you happy and warms your heart!

Eventually you notice though, the one remaining cupcake. You hadn’t made one for yourself, only for the Professor and your classmates.

Quickly you scan the classroom to find the cupcake less person.

Hubert.

You’re not really…surprised by this. You don’t think you’ve ever had a proper conversation with the man before, although not for any particular reason.

Better late then never.

You take up the plate containing the last cupcake before making your way to where he stands by the door.

“Would you like a cupcake, Hubert?”

He’s surprised. The emotions only there for a moment, you see it in his eyes, but as quick as it were there it was gone.

“What about yourself?”

His eyes are scrutinizing you.

“Oh! I ate all the messed-up ones,” You admit a little flustered. “So, I’ve eaten a lot of sweets. This one is for you.”

He takes the cupcake. That’s all you can ask of him.

“I hope you like it!”

Feeling as though he’d rather be left to himself, you leave his side, going to speak with Dorothea, not noticing the way his eyes continue to follow you as he takes a bite of the cupcake.

-

The days battle had ended in a win for the Black Eagles, but Hubert had been injured.

“Sit still.”

You tell him softly, hands glowing white as you work on his wounds.

“I can’t Lady Edelgard-“

“Edelgard is fine. She’s with the professor.”

Hubert tenses, but then relaxes.

“You don’t need to heal me. Manuela can take care of it once we return to the Academy.”

“There’s no point in your suffering any longer than you have to,”

He’s quite stubborn, it almost makes you smile, but you don’t relent.

“There…See? All better.”

“…”

“We won!” Edelgard says as the two of you finally catch up with your classmates.

“We should all celebrate! What do you think Professor?”

Byleth nods in agreement.

“See?” You gently nudge Hubert.

“If you waited until we got back to get healed, you’d miss the celebration.”

“Well we wouldn’t want that,”

He’s clearly being sarcastic, you can tell, but as you look over, he’s actually smiling.

You swear you feel your heart skip a beat.

You are…a good person.

The more time Hubert spends with you, the more he finds himself sure of this fact.

And it’s why he can’t understand the way you seem to seek him out.

Sure, you’re nice to everyone.

All the Black Eagles know that they can rely on you for quite literally anything, Hubert including, but still…

Time and time again, if you have free time you seek him out.

You ask him to share meals with you, to help you in the kitchen, to join you in the sauna, or to test your magic prowess against one another.

Before he never would have found himself the type to enjoy such attentions or affections before now.

He doesn’t know how to tell you that he enjoys being around you.

He doesn’t know want he should do to repay you for all the kindness you share.

Maybe he doesn’t have to.

Maybe things can just remain the two of you, happy like this, for the rest of your days at the Academy.

By the time Lady Edelgard’s plan is coming into fruition, he’ll have made his own plan to assure you and your kindness will remain by his side.

To Do List:

What's up, my Herd of Nerds?

Anyway, as you can tell, tomorrow is AU Sunday. But, because it's one after a 'my input' one, it's a follower input AU day! Yay!

So, send me your AUs and I'll put all of em in a hat to pick one randomly. The winner is picked and posted and we'll all try and make headcanons about your AU.

Done:

Zombie Apocalypse AU :: (https://hermitcraftheadcanons.tumblr.com/post/618314308275863552/zombie-apocalypse-au-masterpost)

Pirate AU ::

Currently In The Raffle:

-Toy Story AU.

-Ever After High/Descendants/Vaguely 'nex gen priness' AU.

-Eldritch Horror AU :: Or if that's a bit too out there, a more normal Monster AU. I don't care, but in my heart, I know Cleo is some kind of eldritch horror. Zombie is far too easy.

-Eldritch Monster AU! Hermits are all Lovecraftian horrors who all individually decided that they wanted to pretend to be normal and are all trying to hide their otherworldliness. I also feel like Mumbo or X or someone as the one actually "normal" player on the server would work well. Most hermits don't know that everyone else isn't normal either, but some find out about friends maybe.

-Rabid Debate Club AU :: Random weird au idea where it's basic hs/uni au but like two of them try to start a debate club, then invite some friends just so there's enough people; cut to like two months later, it's all the hermits just fighting over whether or not pineapple should go on pizza or not lol it isn't very good i'm sorry but ya know rabid debate club AU.

-Animal/shapeshifting AU :: (Suggested Twice.) Every hermit can shapeshift into one token animal. (If it's something like "dog," they can only turn into one breed and color of dog, EXAMPLE: doc can shift into a black sable belgian malinois, but not anything else.)

-Wedding Planners AU :: Hermits work in various unrelated businesses such as a bakery, flower shop, etc., but see each other semi-often bc they're semi-often called upon to work together by another hermit's wedding planning business (obvs if you couldn't tell i know absolutely nothing abt wedding planning & businesses n shit lol but it's the /concept/ of it yannknow)

-Avatar: The Last Air Bender AU. (Suggested Thrice.)

-Fusion AU :: (Also suggested by Anon.) (Suggested Twice.) What if Hermits could fuse with each other? (Viva and Jumbo fused into MumboJumbo.)

-SCP AU :: The hermits have spooky powers and are kept locked up bc of it (or they have to keep the world safe from monsters and cursed objects!)

-RPG AU :: I feel like someone already thought of that but I am just wondering about it lately :p -🍋

-Adventure Time AU :: The hermits live in a post-apocalyptic world and the Lich (bad guy) is making everything decay. They need to gather all the gems (belt colours) to unlock the Enchiridion (a book) and have one wish each granted from Prismo (multiverse wish granting dude) before the Lich does. Only 4 elements can enter the multiverse: Slime (The Lich & Jevin), Redstone (Tango or Mumbo?), Ice (Stress), and Dirt (Grian, much to his dismay). Only the elementals can see the book. Grian's the protagonist with his sidekick Scar. He originally started collecting the belts because they were shiny but eventually decided to read the book and find out what they were for when Scar said he didn't see it. Doc, False, and Iskall are major obstacles because they don't believe the book exists.</p>

-Total Drama Island AU.

-Magical Girl AU :: Zedaph's the lead magical girl and rounds up a bunch of other magical girl hermits.

-Pokeman AU :: What are the Hermit's roles in this world? Who's the Champion, Elite Four. Are they scientists? Trainers? Do they compete in competitions, do they specialize in types? Who's everyone's starter? Has anyone encountered any legendaries?

-College AU

-High School AU

-Wizard101 AU :: I (🦊) recently got this AU idea and recently started going off somewhere with it in terms of writing, but, like, Hermitcraft meets Wizard101. Tons and tons of magical shenanigans, monster hunting, and idk what else.

-Magic AU

-My Hero Academia AU :: Headcanons can be about which hermits would have what quirks and occupations based on them.

-So I'm writing an AU where there's a second game of Demise but 5 years later. So far the first 2 hermits (Joe and Xisuma) have died, and their dead forms are cracked with an arrow in his chest (Xisuma) and cyborg (Joe). So since it's Saturday, I'm looking for what some skins would look for.

-City AU :: I mean this is really just a normal everyday AU.

-School AU.

-Terraria-Minecraft Fusion AU :: Who chooses what class? what events do each hermit prefer? how to they deal with the world infections? preferred biomes? Favourite NPCS? It has potentiallllll.

-70s/80s Teen Horror AU :: (like Stranger Things, Carreie, The Lost Boys, Halloween, etc.) -🦇

-Demi-God AU :: Sort of like percy jackson (everyone being the children of different gods from all different cultures.)

-Supernatural AU

-Marching Band AU :: Xisuma is the band major and all the show music is the remixes. I need to come up with some ideas for uniforms. Outfits and flags for the colorguard too.

-Different Eras AU :: (Suggested Twice.) All the hermits are from different time periods or eras. Like Wels is from the mediveal/dark era, Mumbo is from 1890-1920's, Iskall is from 2030, TFC is from 2020(?), Cleo is from 2130, etc!!! Like the mobs/animals became feused with humans, is when the mob players came from.

-Star Trek AU :: Like maybe they could be on one ship and each have different roles like engineers or doctors? I don’t know if this has been suggested but hope you enjoy! - 🐦

-House Mates AU :: ApartmentAU but scaled down?

-Atlantis AU :: (Could be merged with Mermaid AU???)

-Fighting Game AU :: Some influences would be Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Ultra Instinct, that kind of stuff.

-Time loop AU :: The hermits each have to deal with their own time loop.

(All those above in red are from our community's lovely Anons!)

-Superhero/superpower AU :: They each have a unique power/powerset that is in some way connected to their personality. (ie Mumbo *could* control electricity because of his love of redstone) Some Hermits may even choose to be "villains" and prank their other servermates. If you need power ideas, I've got a couple. (12u3ie)

-Daycare AU :: The recap peeps are the caretakers :P (-@tikauniverse.)

-Incredibly Long Cross Country Train Ride AU :: they all are in the same train car, telling stories of where they’re going, backstories.)

-Stuck In An Airport AU :: pretty similar to train au but they can be going diff places.

-Doctors AU :: they’re all doctors working at the same hospital.)

-Circus AU (Also suggested by an Anon.) (Suggested Twice.)

-Spy AU (Also suggested by @shadeswiftdraws.) (Suggested Twice.)

-Runaways AU :: The hermits are all teenagers who have run away from home, they all live on the streets until TFC takes them in. Head canons can be about backstories, living on the streets, or when they’re with TFC.

-Criminals and Police Officers AU

(-@lookitsspacekween)

-Dancer AU :: I mean, I already got a list kind of planned out, but headcanons for why specific styles are chosen would be appreciated! :) (usedtobelucythefallenangel)

-Broadway/Musicals Hermits AU :: The hermits are all casts of various musicals and when this newly-built theater opens up they all fight for which musical gets to play in it first (they have a riff-off maybe?) musicals mainly included are Hamilton, BMC, DEH, SiX, Beetlejuice, etc (feel free to add more!) (-@heyitsroby.)

-DnD AU (Also suggested by Anon.) (Suggested twice.)

-Mermaid AU :: In honor of the end of Mermay

-Space exploration AU :: There could be different ships, command centers, aliens.... Maybe someone could even get stranded/crash on a new planet? Who knows, could be fun.

-Paranormal/ghost hunter AU :: A couple Hermits could be the ghost hunters going to haunted locations to prove/disprove their hauntedness, others could be camera crew, owners of haunted buildings, or even the ghosts themselves.

-Camping/Vacation AU.

-Summer Cottage AU :: They all spend summers/weekends along the same shoreline and do different summer activities together. Outdoor fun and shenanigans!

-Space AU :: like star trek or similar.

-I would say evil clone au but I think that's pretty much the entire Hermitcraft tumblr right now lol. (Suggested twice.)

(-@shadeswiftdraws.)

-Magic AU :: Magic exists and all the hermits have powers. They can also summon a weapon but what that weapon is depends on the hermit. I'm thinking it'll take place in a sort-of Demise 2 in S7 with a big war. So far I've got: Grian - Cloning himself to his different personas (each has a different power). Xisuma - Making barriers, teleporting, and transforming into different mobs. Scar - Making mutant plants & boosting other hermits' attack & health. (-@datsaltyperson.)

-Demon AU :: Something enters the overworld and turns into a supernatural style-demon through Dimentional Distortion. Who gets posessed first, who goes crazy, and who actually kills it? Honestly I think that, if anything, Tango would know how to gank it, for obvious reasons. (-@fireflower-dusk.)

-High Street AU :: Everyone owns a different shop on the same street or some run a shop together (-@violets-arepurple.)

-Cat AU :: Either they're were always cats, or Hels turned everyone, including himself, into a cat, and they have to survive and overcome challenges in the Season 7 world. An example of a challenge would be Cub's a Sand Cat(the cats that always look like kittens no matter how old they are and live in deserts), and everyone's not sure if he can actually swim, so they have to find a way for him to get around without involving water. (-@scp10000.)

-How about a secret AU.. Every hermit has their big secrets and when Grian joined. He doesn't really know anything about those secrets even till season 7. Not many hermits talked to him in S6 anyway.. Mumbo was the closest to him so they would have regular chats For Iskall is mostly business related things Grian wants to know why so he set out on a quest to force the others to at least talk to him so he wouldn't be lonely. (-@babylightstudentbiscuit.)

-Hermit Family AU :: Xisuma is very busy dad but when he isnt busy the kids and younger hermits annoying the hell out of him. Grian once asked to use Xisuma's computer and crashed the whole thing trying to download illegal gamesites and get money off the internet. Mumbo and his trains run through the entire house and Xisuma trips on them daily. (-@gamerutx.)

-College AU!! But they are not students. THEY ARE THE TEACHERS (-@ivi-prism.)

Ones I planned to do anyway but Hermitblr Hivemind and all that:

Battle of The Bands AU: i believe u once mentioned a bands/ battle of the bands au... thats my jam... (Anon.)
