Maurice x Reader headcanons!

Wowww, it's been a fat minute since I posted on here huh? This one was actually an request in comments from @wiltedwildflowers1 and I had to since Maurice is an underrated favorite F/O of mine too hehe >3

Anyway here we go!

Maurice x Reader headcanons (set post-movie)

• Okay, so you two probably first met when you just finished doing an all-nighter with a few of your friends.

• Obviously you didn't know it, but Maurice was trying to fill the void after saying goodbye to Brian and thought you would be interesting to mess with in the meantime lol

• You were pretty flabbergasted when you first saw him, but eventually grew to like this blue wacked-up shithead lol

• Maurice's way of flirting is...interesting to say the least.

"Whoa whoa someone call the police, because you babe, have stolen my damn heart~!"

• Sometimes it's too much, but he tries his absolute best to make you smile! Even if it's a bit of hassle to stay up just to see him lmao

• While you two definitely do dates in the monster world when you're up for it, he also makes sure you don't stay there too long considering what happened to his pal Brian not long ago-

"Aww, lookit at that smile...WAIT WAS THAT A FANG I SAW NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN BABE-!"

• Also be prepared if you decide to steal his jacket. He may have lent Brian his last one forever but it's pretty much a one-way trip to teaseville if you do-

• The idea of....pulling pranks on kids you barely knew (lowkey the one part of the movie I don't like tbh-) was a bit uncomfortable to you to say the least, so you and Maurice agree to only do it to one of your family members if they bother you too much lol

• However no matter how sleepless and complicated your relationship is in general, Maurice will sure as goddamn take it since he absolutely loves you :3

MAURICE RELATIONSHIP HEADCANNONS

------------------------

• you met at 1:00 am only because you were still up and he popped out from under your bed he was shocked when he saw you because you were still up but not a kid

• after a few more nights and getting to know each other better he started to develop feelings for you and asked you out on the spot

• your dates consists of either movie nights at your place or having fun in the monster world playing games like monsters ball or pigging out on all that junk food

• when his horn that snik broke finally falls off he gives it to you as a gift

• when the two of you cuddle you are either the little spoon or your head is on his chest no exceptions

• since the end of boy and snik the monster world has become more fun and free and he loves taking you there

• he loves kissing you his favorite spot is the left side of your head and loves when you kiss his horns

• the first time you saw him get upset and that weird thing popped up and made that kazoo sound you were confused and just stood there for a good minute wondering what the fuck was that

•when it was Valentines day and you came back to your room he was on your bed in his boxers, rose in his mouth and a half eaten box of chocolates he stole from a previous house he was at it was

• on Halloween he goes out with you being the one time of the year we're he can go out and not cause panic or has to worry about the light

 Rented Beetlejuice Beetlejuice from the library and every time I glance at the cover out of the corner of my eye, I think Delores is Snik from Little Monsters.

It’s the bluuuueee. (And the weak lightning/weird angle I keep seeing it from.)

you, too, can make fanart for an obscure children's movie that should not have been PG about monsters under the bed from 1989 for your final for your college painting class.

anyway, here's the wip:

[nopestilldoomed]

Watchtober catch up, day 4 was little monsters and day 5 was Coraline. Two soft balls honestly but i remember them getting some scares when i was younger.

Little monsters is mostly an attempt at recreating the success of Beetlejuice. You know what it works. Piss apple juice etcetera etcetera, i like that they establish the boys status as an engineer type. Hes clever. But also that principle grabbing his face like that yikes

The monsters incurrage toxic behavior, they themselves are all pretty toxic. Monsterdom spreads like a disease. Its Corruption.

Coraline! A modern classic. 15 years?? Woah! The movies so good, the artisty the everything. The way the well looks like the tunnel to the other world. Or the garden looking like the beldam. Nothing i can say that hasn't already been said.

Web shes being manipulated and gasslit by an actual spider lady.

Smiley idiot lovers rise up

[i-really-like-phrogs]

While I have many, many gripes about the annoying love triangles and horrid characterization in Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian; One thing I did enjoy was Cactus— a Joshua tree transformed into a beautiful girl by the Juiceman himself. The idea was so fun, and what can I say? I’ve got a special place in my heart for a bubbly lover girl!

I wanted her to be a little younger than what the script implies, (around mid-teen), so I ditched the bikini for a one-peice. It took me SO MANY drafts before I found an outfit I liked, but I’m really happy with how she turned out!

Maurice x gn reader headcannons

• When you two get into a fight it's usually over something stupid or him being a little too reckless it usually ends in him apologizing or him tickling you to make you forget there is no in-between

• Whenever the fight was over something serious he'll take a minute to calm down and truly apologize and fix the problem like all monsters he tends to get too caught up in the chaos he causes

• like all monsters he loves to sacre and you are no exception he loves ya so he'll go slightly easier on you but not by a lot

• he will do weird shit out of nowhere you and him will be cuddling and out of nowhere he'll lick your arm or cheek

• his favorite kind of date are when you go to the monster world with you and pig out in the food or play some of the games monster ball being a usual

• during Christmas he'll get you gifts and by get I do mean he'll steal at least one present from the house he hits during his scares or he'll make you something

• when it comes to the bedroom he's a wild card much like everything else in his life he can be either a Dom or sub if you want but do keep in mind he will be a brat

• when playing video games he WILL play dirty unplugging your controller kissing you do not play Mario kart with him he will get the blue shell more than ounce

• likewise card games like uno are banned cause he will cheat by hiding cards and making sure he gets most if not all plus 4s and skips

• if you guys watch a horror movie together and you get scared he'll make it worse at first and if you get really scared he cut it out and cuddle you talking about how he's stronger and better looking that the monster on the tv

• when he gets upset and that weird creature thing pops out from his head making that kazoo sound it still stuns and confuses you and you'd think you'd get use to it by now but you don't

• he loves to play fight but he doesn't fight fair licking, tickling, nibbling are the some of the tactics he'll pull he won't pull your hair tho he learned from last time

• when you get sick bless him he'll try his best but "Maurice honey I can't eat just chicken nuggets I need soup and medicine". "Boo it's still chicken ain't it"?

• he can't get sick but he will act like he is sick to get you to cuddle him this ends the minute you say "let me get you some medicine"

• he is very rarely the little spoon but if he's having a rough day he's the little spoon no ifs ands or buts

• if you one day decide fuck it and want to become a monster he'll be on 10 howling laugher and celebrating he'll be by your side the whole way

• he doesn't care much for marriage but if you do get married its gonna be a party mostly likely happening some time after you become a monster if anything

• when it comes to introducing him to your family or friends that's pretty much out of the question if you do end up introducing him it's a lot to say the least especially when you're mother fainted

• if you do end up introducing him and chose to become a monster it's mostly a bittersweet goodbye to your family you'll still visit them of course but not a lot

• his jokes either have you hunched over laughing or confused there is no in-between

Little Monsters (1989)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

I can’t believe this is the third time I’ve seen Little Monsters. The first time was in 2012. I didn't like it but my review was too short so I re-watched it AGAIN in 2016. I didn’t like it then either. In fact, I gave it a 0 score. Is the third time the charm?

After moving to a new house and new school, Brian (Fred Savage) is miserable. His parents (Margaret Whitton and Daniel Stern) are always fighting, he’s getting blamed for every random thing that happens around the house and his brother Eric (Ben Savage) keeps bugging him about monsters living under his bed. Then, Brian discovers there IS a monster living under the bed. His name is Maurice (Howie Mandel) and he loves to pull pranks.

The worst part of this movie is Howie Mandel. His character is so annoying you’ll reach for your torch and pitchfork seconds after he appears. He’s always talking, always trying to make you laugh, always moving and gesticulating. I won’t blame the actor. I’ll blame director Richard Alan Greenberg, along with writers Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott. The mantra must’ve been “If someone isn’t talking, the audience won’t be laughing”. They couldn’t have been more wrong. This film only contains one funny joke and to give credit where credit is due, it’s from Mandel. Nonetheless, you can’t stand him. He’s playing this imitation Beetlejuice - one of many we saw starting in 1989. I’ve only ever seen two fast-talking outlandish supernatural sidekicks that worked - The Genie from Aladdin and the aforementioned ghost with the most. Everyone else you want to beat to a pulp with a shovel before burying them in the backyard.

With the main draw being as pleasant as a dental exam, Little Monsters was instantaneously doomed but the problems don't stop there. This film is so mean-spirited you’ll wind up cheering for the villains and hating the heroes. Case and point is an extended scene in which Brian and Maurice travel from one house to another, pulling pranks on children while they sleep. They paint the walls, put plastic wrap on toilets, peanut butter on phones, etc. That doesn’t sound so bad but they shave a cat off-screen and then take revenge upon Ronnie (Devin Ratray), a bully who tormented Brian and his brother earlier. They put cat food in his lunch and replace his apple juice with urine. I know kids pretend that any yellow liquid is piss all the time. The difference is that in this movie, we see Maurice gulp down all Ronnie's juice so he can turn around (away from the camera) pull out his blue monster dick and fill Ronnie’s bottle. the movie goes too far, particularly since we get to see Ronnie attempt to wash down the taste of the cat food with it the next day.

Speaking of Ronnie, I feel like doing a bit of nitpicking. I mean, why not? This movie is mean. It deserves a bit of its own medicine. Here’s how his introduction works. Brian and his little brother are on the bus. After an argument (related to the mysterious pranks around the house), Brian tosses Eric's lunch out the window. That's when Ronnie enters. The lunch hit him in the head. Ronnie threatens Eric, Brian defends his little brother and after a quick verbal back-and-forth, Ronnie is humiliated and gets off the bus. Wait. What happened? Was Ronnie part of the route? Like was he supposed to be picked up by the sassy bus driver? Or did she just let him hop on randomly? Either way, I guess he walked the rest of the way. Eventually, the character returns for the final act when he is recruited as one of Brian’s allies against Boy (Frank Whaley), the monster world’s evil ruler. I know what the movie is trying to do. The idea is that Brian and his bully are setting aside their differences for the greater good. Maybe they’ll even become friends. Inside the movie though, this alliance means nothing. Ronnie doesn’t know Brian was responsible for the cat food and piss in his lunch. He's not "forgiving" anything.

I've become more invested than I should in a movie that doesn’t deserve to be remembered. Little Monsters is mean, gross and ugly. The monsters are unappealing and not even in a “they’re monsters, they should be kind of scary” kind of way. One look and you'll “No thanks”. In fact, you can skip the look. Just say “No thanks” to Little Monsters. (February 10, 2023)
