#Tyrrish headcanons you didn't ask for

[she-whatshername]

EVEN MORE Tyrrish Headcanons you didn’t ask for (Xaden, Garrick, Bodhi, Imogen, aka the Kitchen Table crew)

AN: Wow I’m just posting everything but a chapter update to ‘Drifted’ aren’t I? Writing about trauma is hard for me, and IDK why i chose to make Cree’s character full of it and pair her with Bodhi who’s…surrounded by it. But, what’s a fanfic without a little author induced torture, right?

ANYWAYs, let’s get into it

Garrick, Imogen, and Bodhi would draw straws on who would have to update Xaden on Violet during her first year before Liam was tasked as her bodyguard. Bodhi never drew the short straw but was always the one who ended up telling Xaden. He carried on the tradition after Garrick and Xaden graduated.

Bodhi is viewed as the little brother of the group for two reasons. One, he always was one step behind Xaden and Garrick and a physical year younger than him. And two, despite everything he's been through, he never let it take away his humanity. Xaden cruelly jokes that Bodhi is the only one in the revolution with a still beating heart

Bodhi only 'broke character' once during his years at Basgiath when someone in his squad used a particular slur when referencing his deceased mother. Garrick and Xaden had to drag him off the cadet and dispose of the body and make a cover up so he didn't get charged with breaking the codex. It was their first trio heist together before the actual weapons operations.

Garrick didn't talk to Imogen the first month of her year at Basgiath because he was ashamed of all the horrible things he'd done in his first year

Every one of them has cried in front of Xaden at least once. Even Imogen, though she was heavily inebriated

Also, everyone has cried in Bodhi's lap. Even Xaden, who was also heavily inebriated.

Xaden didn't want to let Imogen into operations at first due to her unpredictable emotions; Garrick convinced him otherwise. When Imogen thwarted not one but 4 separate attempts on Xadens life, it was one of the first and few times he actually admitted to Garrick that he was right.

When Garrick and Xaden found out that Bodhi lost his virginity to someone at Basgiath the two literally detoured from their weapons operations to find out who it was like the protective and nosy older brothers that they are.

Imogen snorts when she laughs. She rarely laughs as deeply as she used to so when it does slip out, it instantly makes everyone feel like they aren't in a active war and that they're back home in Aretia.

Bodhi, Xaden and Garrick have all had sexual relationships with Fliers/Poromish people. Imgoen has not and refuses to out of what she calls 'pride and respect for dragons.'

I think all Tyrrish folk are pretty open and fluid about their sex lives until they find their person. Much like fated couples or mates, its Tyrrish tradition to find 'your person'.

I think they all marry for love only and Xaden's family dynamics are the outlier. Though I think Fen's 'person' was Tyrrendor the country verses Xaden's mother.

Because of this, Xaden grew up with a warped perception of romance and relationships. Also, he's fluent in all Tyrrish history and customs. He knew and spoke Tyrrish before the common language, and learning the common language was very difficult for him.

Also, Imogen is Garrick's person, 100%.

Xaden got his ego, wit and charisma from his father but his aunt, Bodhi's mother, taught him a lot about actual charm.

It was actually his aunt who, upon finding out that then 13 year old Xaden ghosted his girlfriend, made him go the the gardens and pick fresh flowers and hand deliver them to the girl's house with a handwritten apology declaring his 'boyish stupidity'.

Before the unification, if someone finds their person and they choose to marry, the couple would create a rune specific to the joining of their love/family house. Xaden giving Violet a book on weaving textiles was NO coincidence.

Tyrrish weddings are fun as shit (Why yes, there is one in 'Drifted'). In fact, there is a 'Cardulo Clause' that states that any wedding guest who drinks beyond their fare share at a wedding ceremony most pay a balance to the respective wedding partners. This came in part due to Imogen's great, great grandfather who, legend says, drank an entire keg to themselves during a wedding.

Okay now I'm actually going to go back and write 'Drifted'.

[she-whatshername]

At work just thinking about how

Garrick would 100% be that coworker who would get everything done from 9am-10am and just BS and hangout at peoples desks (literally sitting on their desk)

Xaden would have his office door closed at all times and never leave unless the rare bathroom break / snack grab. And his calendar would be blocked all day and I just know he has no real meetings planned. Emails would have no subject line

Bodhi would take on all projects and be the nicest person to work with, make the most beautiful presentation decks and have personalized greetings for everyone

Imogen would wear her coat all day so she could quickly get up at 5pm to leave. Would probably be the person everyone was afraid of but shit would get done if she was in charge of a product.

Liam would still have happy intern energy even if it was his 5th year of employment

Another Sleepy Tyrrish Men Headcanon

I should be sleeping but instead here’s Garrick

How does he sleep? It’s the letter X, yall. He’s sprawled out taking all the space. At Basgiath he was crammed in small beds that didn’t fit his frame so if he’s back in Aretia, he’s got his body taking up all the bed space.

Any pillows? One. A single pillow is all he needs. When you stay over and ask for a pillow he’s going to be cheeky and say “I’ll be your pillow.” But he’s also serious, he only has one pillow…

But he’s Garrick and always has a plan to take care of everyone so once he finds out how awkward it was to have you over with no spare pillow he secures one for you

How many blankets? Just one. A semi thick blanket. But bonus points is that it’s big. The Tavis family were all tall so his family blanket in his room is so big you both can easily share without fighting for warmth.

Does he snore? Oh yeah. Lumberjack Garrick is sawing logs over there. Xaden makes mention that Garrick runs his mouth even in his sleep. Yes, It’s loud but it’s like, cute lolol. If you give him a little nudge to roll over on his stomach he’ll stop.

He makes you a pair of earrings that have noise canceling runes on them, because he’s Garrick

Nightmares? Yes. More on that below

Cuddler? He’s grabbing you up and tossing you on the bed and grabbing you again once he gets under the covers. He loves to fall asleep with you held close, preferably with your face against his chest. Though, after he’s asleep he rolls off if you and sprawls out on the bed.

Goodnight kiss? Yes.long, slow, intimate as hell and you two usually find yourselves….a bit more active before sleeping due to that level of loving

Is he waking up for late night smoochies? Yes sir. Though I’d like to imagine the nightmares wake him up and he’s so scared and startled he can’t go back to sleep right away. But, he sees you next to him and starts cuddling you again, kissing your shoulders, back, neck, face, wherever.

Is he a shameless flirt who wants to love on you every moment of the day? Yes. Is he also a man with trauma that wants to be comforted but is too prideful to ask for help so he just wants your touch to ground him and intimacy is the only way he thinks he can do that? Also, yes.

[she-whatshername]

It’s a cold night and I’m thinking about

Bodhis room in Aretia has a fireplace but he rarely uses it as open flames can sometimes trigger memories of the rebellion and his parents but when you ask to stay over one night he’s riddled with stress about lighting the fireplace. Instead you show up at his door with a large quilt that is imbued with warming runes so you both can stay warm.

Garrick going the extra mile at Basgiath to pull his bed away from the window so you you aren’t next to the cold when you stay over. Garrick also has created a rather comfy pile of furs and blankets on the floor on occasion so you both can sleep together more comfortably

Xaden lets you layer up in his clothes before bed. He thinks it’s hot when you are wearing his clothes. But to him it’s not because “you’re his”, rather this gesture gives him confidence to say that “he’s yours”

[she-whatshername]

marriage proposals from our fave tyrrish men? 😍

Oh, this is a good one.

Who would plan it out: Liam. He’d actually have a romantic evening or something staged planned. He’d probably take you to a special place or somewhere that is meaningful to you both. The rings are wooden and have special carvings on them. He’s tearing up while proposing to you. Like has to pause with a little, “sorry” while he’s proclaiming his love for you

Who’s impulsively proposing: Garrick. Probably Bodhi too. Garrick is probably proposing right before a battle. It’s still romantic he just looks you in the eye and is like “if I die, I want to die as your husband, your beloved so my soul will be connected to yours and I’ll wait with Malek when it’s time to join me” and he’s marrying you right then and there. If you’re on Tyrrendor territory He’s grabbing Xaden and is like , “you’re the king, marry us now.” To ensure it’s official. Like the battle is delayed because you two are getting married

Bodhi on the other hand would have a whole plan to propose like Liam but he gets too eager and just wants to do it now. He loves you why wait. One morning you’re laying in bed and you feel his hand over yours and then you look down and the most beautiful ring is on your finger. It was his mother’s, he hid away her jewelry during the battle of Aretia by her request, thinking it would be for a short while until they were reunited, but they never were. When you start to grasp the significance he tells you “she would have wanted you to wear it, demanded it actually. She would have loved you…” and now you’re just crying. You get married at the temple of Amari, his mother’s favorite place. And if you’re not from Tyrrendor, he’s the type of guy to recite his vows in your native language, even if it’s a rare one.

Who just assumes you’re already married: Xaden. Like he saw you and was like “yepp they’re the one.” Lolol. He literally does everything someone who is married would do, anniversaries, lavish gifts, and you have access to everything of his. It’s been years since you two got together and one day you’re like “are you ever going to propose?” And he’s just staring at you for a second before he’s like “why? am I not already your husband?” Takes him a minute but immediately he’s getting up, walking to his family chest and pulling out a drawer with rings and is like “pick one. And if you don’t like these I’ll make you one. When should the ceremony be?”

Did somebody say, Tyrrish Men Headcanons you didn’t ask for?!

Smoochies Edition

AN: Ya’ll, I have put myself in a rather precarious position as I have somehow got myself into writing a slow burn, rivals to lovers fic (It’s called ‘Drifted’, please check it out) and I am several chapters away from a kiss scene…So I need to just Headcanon this out for my own sanity.

How I envision how they like to kiss

Bodhi:

Certified Angel this one

His kisses have emotions to them. You can feel his joy, relief, love, etc each time you kiss. Like synesthesia for the mouth.

Stands behind you and lets you lean back into his chest, wrapping an arm across your chest or at your waist. If you tilt your head back or, better yet, fall asleep, he’s got you. Kisses your shoulder or base of your neck to wake you up.

Ultimate Move: He will caress his hand across your jaw and cradle the back of your head and kiss you. He wants to hold you, always.

I wish to type more but I am saving it for ‘Drifted’

Garrick:

This man puts the rizz in Charisma.

Short, precise kisses. Smiles against your lips a lot.

Ultimate Move: He will reach for your hand and pull it to his mouth for a kiss but in a fraction of a second turn it over and kiss your wrist instead. All while never breaking eye contact with you.

His eye contact is illegal in several provinces.

Bites your lip when he kisses you. Bites a lot of stuff actually.

Xaden:

Forehead kisses. Yep. I said it. This man loves a five second forehead kiss. Eyes closed, taking all of you in.

At first, its light touches and glances in your direction. If you’ve charmed this man enough….get ready for endless touches.

Does not hug, but embraces. Like arms around the shoulders is not his thing. He’s hands on the small of your back, legs touching legs. Like he’s trying to fuse you two together so he can be with you always.

Ultimate Move: Hand on either side of your face, caressing your cheeks and just devouring you with his mouth. Does he come up for air? Never. This shadow creature has mastered the art of kissing and breathing through his nose.

He’s said it before he could live with his mouth attached to your face and like the true perfectionist he is he trained his body to do just that

Marked Ones at the office

At work again thinking about

Garrick keeps a little board on his desk and marks a 1-5 ranking on Xadens current mood. After he grabs morning coffee with him the team gathers around his desk to see what number Garrick puts up.

Bodhi is the go to person to ask to have an email forwarded to you (even though you were probably on the distro list to begin with) no questions asked he will resend it

Bodhi is also the person that actually restocks the snack and drink drawer

And when this happens Imogen is first up to grab a handful of snacks to keep at her desk so she doesnt have to go up again

Xaden never turns his expense reports on time. Liam does it for him.

Liam is apart of every employee community network group whether he identifies with the theme or not. He’s on a gardening group and has never planted a thing in his life.

They are all technically being watched by HR but they do such a good job not leaving a paper trail no one really do anything

Garrick is not aloud to plan any team functions after a particular incident

[she-whatshername]

A Sleepy Garrick Story

Taken from my Sleepy Tyrrish Men Headcanon featuring our boy Garrick. I love that you all enjoyed that Headcanon and many of you found so much love for the rune earrings and angst for that last part revolving around nightmares. So, I decided to write it out of my head because its been on loop, ya’ll.

Also, the usual ‘I am a tired human who is writing late at night vs sleeping’ so spelling errors and lack of proofreading is a part of the storytelling at this point

The rune earrings came off again. It was what you assumed as your mind began to stir with awake, causing your eyelids to slowly blink open to the darkness of the room. There was just enough light from the mage lights that hovered above the courtyard to illuminate some light into the space from the window. You were able to see a few feet in front of you to the small chair that currently held your clothes, the desk, even the square desk mirror that sat on top of the wooden surface. You’d have to remind Garrick to close the blinds fully next time you find yourself entangled in his sheets.

Its been about a week since you found yourself regularly sleeping over in Garricks room. It was a bit larger than your dorm room, perks of being apart of leadership and a third year you assumed. It also was in a rather good spot on campus as it was close to the stairs and you could easily get to your morning classes. And, of course, Garrick was here which made it all worth it. Even if you did find yourself crammed on the side of the bed while he sprawled out on his back next to you.

Sleeping with Garricks as great. But actually sleeping with Garrick…it had its downsides and upsides. Fighting for space in his bed, lack of pillows and his rather deep snoring, total downsides. But, being smooshed up next to him and tangled in his arms, being kissed to sleep each night, and the many times when he didn’t stop kissing you goodnight, upsides indeed. And, he made you a pair of earrings that were warded to block out sounds so you could sleep peacefully next to his rumbling snoozes, it was sweet. It was almost like a gift someone would give their partner. Unless all the girls who also slept with him also got a set. You’d have to investigate that in the morning. And, no matter the outcome it didn’t matter. You weren’t going to fall any further for Garrick than you already have. It didn’t matter if he saw other people, you were fine with it. If you told yourself that you’d believe it soon enough. In the meantime you decided to begin to pad your hand on the bed to feel for your maybe not special pair of earrings so you too could get back to sleep.

Before your hand pressed against the mattress you heard the hitching of Garricks throat behind you, and not a moment later you saw in the reflection of the desk mirror his body become upright in the bed, gasping as if his head had been held underwater. You didn’t move as you laid on your side for fear of startling him further, your eyes transfixed on the desk mirror.

You’d never seen Garrick scared before. He rarely showed emotions outside of his usual easy going nature or his hardened section leader persona. He was tough, but also kind. But this, Garrick was none of those things. He looked terrified. His shaking hand pressed flat against his chest over his heart as he closed his wide eyes in an attempt to steady his breathing. Each exhale more and more controlled. While you couldn’t hear him, you began to interpret the words he was silently repeating to himself over and over.

It’s not real.

The flames.

They’re not real.

They didn’t burn us.

We’re alive.

Xaden’s alive.

Bodhi’s alive.

Imogen’s alive.

Liam’s alive.

You closed your eyes shut, trying your hardest not to make a sound as you swallowed a lump in your throat. You felt as if you had stumbled upon something you shouldn’t have. You shouldn’t be here for this. Yet, you found yourself wanting to turn to him, to hold him in your arms and tell him yourself he’s okay.

You weren’t sure how long you laid there with your eyes closed. A minute? An hour? You hadn’t yet drifted off to sleep but you mind was pulled to the present as you felt a hand caress your bare shoulder and lips at the base of your neck.

“What-“ your secret was out before you could close your lips.

You could feel the smile of Garrick as he chuckled behind you, “Sorry, did I wake you?”

“Well-“

“How else should I act when wake up and see you next to me? Can’t keep my hands off you even in my sleep.”

What in the hells? Was this even the same Garrick?

His tone was back to normal. Cocky attitude too. How easily he was able to slip into his former, shamelessly flirty self.

This wasn’t the first time this happened. Him waking you up late at night with kisses to your back, your side, anywhere where he could find bare skin. All with the promise of making the rousing awake worth your while and honestly, it was worth it every time.

But now, it clicked. He did wake you up almost every night wanting some type of love and affection, was it just his astonishingly high libido or was it all due to the nightmares?

You were now being coaxed on your back with Garrick hovering over you. His lips busy kissing your neck, shoulder, chest. Slowly working his way down. His hands reached for the sides of your hips, and you felt it. The tremble of his fingertips when he touched you.

This was enough. Your hands wrapped around him quickly, securing his head and pressing him into your chest and stomach. He froze temporary, you could feel his breath getting caught as well.

“Uh, care to tell me what’s going on? This a new kink or something?”

“Just,��. You found yourself struggling for a moment before you resigned yourself to him, “Just want to hold you for a bit. Is that okay?”

“There are plenty of things I could be doing to you right now instead of - oh, fuck”

“But I want this. Just this.” You responded while your nails scratched at his scalp between his curly hair. Garrick mumbled noises of approval as you continued your touch.

You held him in silence for a few moments. Your one hand massaging at his scalp sand the other still drawing circles against his shoulder.

“I like this.” You finally said, “I could do this to you every night…if you wanted of course.”

He was quiet, you almost thought he had fallen asleep before you heard his voice, small and softened, “Every night?”

You leaned forward slightly to put your cheek against his head, “every night you’d have me in your bed, Garrick. Whenever you’d need me. I can be there.”

Another smile against your skin, “if you’d have me.”

“I will always have you.” Garrick answered, his tone lifting slightly, “I’m not letting you go anytime soon.”

It was your turn to smile and you went back to playing with his hair until Garrick eventually fell back to sleep. Now I’m top of you this time.

Again, there were always downsides and upsides to loving Garrick. A sore back in the morning and up close snores. Downside. Being there for Garrick. Giving him a moment of deserved calm, care and peace?

Always, always an upside.

But, you had to ask

“Garrick?”

“Mmmm?”

“How many sets of earrings have you made since your first year?”

“Two. Second set incase you ever lose the first ones.”

[she-whatshername]

Taking Care with the Marked Ones

For the ever so talented @callsign-rogueone. Wishing you strength and healing, feel better soon!

Garrick usually walked with a strong stride. It wasn't a run, per say, but he had long legs so anytime he was in motion, most of his squad would complain they'd have to run to keep up. He always liked walking with Bodhi and Xaden. They always had a little pep in their step and took the importance of going from place to place with speed and not lollygagging along.

But now, Garrick was running. Leaving everyone behind.

What else are you supposed to do when a kid comes running in to the kitchens screaming about a venin.

Luckily, Garrick new Riorson House like the back of his hand, so it took him no time to run through the halls, turn through the corners and jump a few steps on his dash down to the front doors and out to the open courtyard.

Standing amongst a crowd of wailing children was a the supposed venin in question, hunched over. Oh, it was on. Yet, right before Garrick could arch his hand back and put his signet to work, the figure turned around, startled.

Garrick immediately jumped backwards, losing his footing and falling onto his backside. Once the bewilderment passed he found himself holding back a laugh.

The 'venin' in question was you. An incredibly sick, congested, and feverish you.

"I told you!" The girl, Julianne, who sounded the alarm shouted as she made her way out to the courtyard, her small, relic bound hand pointed forwards, "She turned into a venin."

"I what?!" You shouted.

Julianne wasn't having any of it. Her fingers tightened into fists in preparation for a fight, yet before her small body could move forward Garrick hoisted her back by the back of her shirt collar and sat her down on the stone floor next to him.

"Easy easy." He chided, "I think we have a case of mistaken identity here. But, your most heroic rider is here to save the day."

Garrick slowly began to rise, striding towards you with a cocky grin.

"Garrick," You warned, taking a step backwards, "What in Dunne's name is going on?"

"Remember when I told you that you should've taken it easy last week when you started to feel sick and you called me a, and I quote, "overprotective weirdo'?"

You huffed, not before a few coughs escaped your lips, "I'm fine. Stop babying me."

"You're eyes are literally red. Now, play along."

"Play along with what-"

Garrick suddenly grabbed your arm, spinning you around as if the two of you were in a dance, "Fear not, innocent children, I'll save you from this devious fiend." He bellowed heroically. With ease he lifted you up and hoisted you over his shoulder, much to your protests.

"Garrick! Put me down right now!" Your voice barely audible over the cheers of the children.

"Quiet foul creature." He spoke with a laugh while walking back towards Riorson House.

"My hero." Julianne swooned while pressing her hands to her cheeks.

Now, lets be clear you did not give up the fight that easily. Throughout the entire, embarrassing walk through Riorson House and up to Garricks room you kicked, thrashed, and few a few expletives here and there. It made it even worse that they had no effect on your captor, who found the situation rather funny while he layered on the embarrassment by telling every cadet walking by, "Out of my way, precious cargo coming through."

By the time you made it to his room you were dumped onto his bed with a bounce while he walked into the private bathing chambers without a word.

"Hey!" You called after him as you fought against blankets into find yourself in a sitting position.

Garrick returned to the room with a towel over his shoulder, tossing it gently in your direction, "Okay, water is running. Once your bath is done you're back in bed until I say so."

"You can't just order me around! I'm not in your chain of command."

"But you're in my room." He smirked while raising an eyebrow, "My bed even."

"Against my will! I am not sick, I'm-" you paused momentarily to inhale a dribble of snot that escaped your nose, "Fine!"

"That shouldn't be attractive." Garrick mumbled while walking towards you. "Look, you've been nonstop since we got here weeks ago. Patrol, class, looking after Julianne and the other kids, driving me up a wall. So now, you're going to let us take care of you. And as a lieutenant and someone who is absolutely in your chain of command, I'm ordering you to feel better."

You couldn't help but stare into Garrick's hazel eyes, but he had that determined, yet somehow cheeky look where you knew you were not going to get yourself out of this. He was Xaden's right hand. Power ranking aside, if Garrick had to deal with Riorson on the regular, who knew what level of patience and stubbornness he had stored within in him to subdue you. With a raspy sigh you folded, grabbing the towel and rising to your feet.

"Good girl." He smiled, "Though I wouldn't have minded having to carry you into the tub."

"In your dreams, Tavis." You huffed while walking past him.

You had to admit, a hot bath was much needed for your aching muscles. You didn't know how long you had stayed in the tub, but once the water cooled off you slowly rose from the waters and sheepishly made your way back to Garrick's room. Waiting for you at the side of the bed were a pair of your clothes, a tray of food, and a few tinctures of what you assumed were medicine with a hand written note with dosage instructions.

Garrick was an ass on most days. Cocky, a little arrogant, funny but not funny at the same time. But damn if he didn't know how to put his big head and brain to use when taking care of others. You had never felt more annoyed and loved.

New year new headcanons

An AU Tyrrish Men Night out

I just know Garrick goes hard on karaoke

And Xaden joins in too. Their duo rendition Lauryn Hills Doo Wop is legendary

Bodhi is to blame, he’s secretly over serving Xaden to get him liquored up enough to actually cut loose for once

Liam never drinks so he can always DD or just be the sober one to make sure everyone gets home on the train safe. He’s totally fine with it, he owes Xaden and the others his life so he’s off in a corner doing art or flirting with everyone

Honestly he’s just sitting there making carvings and drawing a crowd

Imogen is 100% hustling people at beer pong or darts.

Bodhi is begrudgingly her accomplice. They never lose when they link up

And if Bodhi isn’t hustling with Imogen he’s out on the dance floor. He actually has some moves to him

Also, I just know he, Xaden and Garrick have gotten kicked out of one club for taking their shirts off and dancing after a very many drinks after their team won the Rugby Games. The Tyrs had a stunning upset against the Calldyr Capitals

Everyone still wears black. Xaden is a very slick, fitted long sleeve with a collar and a onyx and gold chain around his neck. Perfectly fitted pants

Garrick is more sporty in his look, a looser fit

Bodhi has a bit more chic to his look, very Afro-futurism with a black fitted button up with a black swirl pattern on the fabric, shiny black loafers unlike Xadens boots

Imogen is giving cyber punk black leather pants, a corset of sorts with some pink details

Liam looking like a gothic country grandpa in all black with an oversized hoodie but we still love him

Idk where I am going with this, but yeah, I love them lolol

What do you think the Marked Ones would get up to in a modern night out AU?

[she-whatshername]

A very merry Tyrrish Men headcanon

Merry merry everyone! Enjoy this little treat

Bodhi

Let’s just start with perfect lolol

How is he wrapping his gifts: with so much love. Lots of colorful wrapping with bows and handwritten notes.

It’s a mixture of things you asked for and a few gifts because he knows you so well

What’s the big gift: something really sentimental, like a necklace from his mum that’s your favorite color or a painting of where you went on your first date

I feel like he’d be that guy who collected the napkin from your first dinner date and saved it for your eventual wedding lolol

Did he get shopping done on time: this man was done early December. Plenty of time to relax and nap

What are you doing Christmas morning: having a cuppa tea and unwrapping gifts before the rest of the marked ones come over

Garrick

How is he wrapping his gifts: lolol he loves a gift bag with stuffing. He can’t really wrap so it’s for the best

Also loves to just pop a bow on a gift and call it

Also, this man knows how to shop for gifts. He’s got a great memory and is the best at guessing what you want. He never misses.

Like you casually mention how you like to twist your hair after washing and his gift to you is that he taught himself how to twist your hair so he can help out so you can focus on resting

A gem he is

Did he get shopping done on time: no. He’s up to the last minute getting stuff done.

What’s the big gift: him lolol. At the end of the day he’s Garrick and I totally envision you wake up and he’s laying there nude with a bow on his, you know where, and he’s winking at you like “hello love, want to open your gift?”

What are you doing Christmas morning: him. See above lolol

Xaden

Oh Bodhis brother

This guy lolol

Where do we start

How is he wrapping his gifts: perfection. Honestly I see this man with crisp lines, beautifully wrapped, matching ribbons

He loves a theme and things to match

We know xaden does great gifts

He’s got a good mix of sentimental, practical and also lavish ass gifts

He would probably buy you a car just cause. Or he rode in your car once, heard a weird sound and pulled out his phone and bought you a new one before you even left the parking space lolol

Also I know he’s getting you lavish flowers too

He’s a chaotic, but good man he is

What’s the big gift: a trip. Would casually mention you’re going on an amazing trip and don’t worry he already has it planned and can get your bags packed too

Did he get his shopping done on time: I just know he gets it done before Halloween lolol. It’s like the 26th of December and Xaden already has the next year gifts ordered and ready

What are you doing on Christmas morning: he’s up before you bringing all the gifts in the room and letting you open them in bed.

Then he’s pulling a Garrick reverse and putting a bow on you and grabbing the leftover ribbons for additional measures, as you’re the only thing he wants today and every day

Cancel your plans, Xadens got you wrapped and unwrapped for the day

[she-whatshername]

Good mornings with the Marked Ones:

Good morning!! Same thing here, a little NSFW so you have been advised

Bodhi:

Is he up before you: lolol absolutely not. My headcanon soap box is that Bodhi sleeps in and naps when he can. Now that you’re both back in Aretia at Riorson House, he’s much more comfortable risking every moment he can to sleep in as much as possible.

Let this man hit the snooze!

So, in this case you’re waking him up. Which Bodhi will protest in his own way.

He’ll throw a leg over you or put his head on your chest and wrap his arms around your waist to keep you still and mumbling a protest of “Mm, just one more minute.”

Sir you said that 10 minutes ago.

If you try to get sassy with him or push him further he takes more advanced measures

“Why do you hate the idea of staying in bed, love. Let me show you what you’ll be missing if we get out now.” He then proceeds to climb on top of you and duck under the covers, kissing his way down your abdomen.

And afterwards you are indeed exhausted and sleep claims you once more.

He plays dirty to get what he wants and I mean, don’t threaten us with a good time Mr Durran.

Bodhi - 1. You - 0 (but everyone is a winner here)

He bringing anything to bed: yeah if he’s up before you he is bringing you tea and sweets to start your day. If he has to leave to defend the front lines he’ll ensure someone else brings it to you.

Are you late to formation: yeah you both are. Xaden usually sends Garrick to break the wards in your room to get you both out of bed.

One time Xaden went after you both himself but Bodhi used his signet to render his shadows useless, which royally pissed him off. You had awoken to Xaden and Bodhi having a rather aggressive pillow fight/sparring match in your room that morning.

Tyrrish men hc idea: what these men be like at (a Tyrrish version of) Thanksgiving dinner?

Food and Tyrrish men? Name a better duo. Didn’t spell check this at all lolol sorry

Bodhi:

Is he hosting: yes. This gem of a man is up early cooking and making the house nice

Like he’d be the type to put namecards out and know where to sit everyone

Garrick and Imogen are across from eachother

Xaden and Violet are next to each other.

Liam sits next to Xaden

Cat is told the wrong address

What dish is he known for: makes the best sides. Potatoes, greens, yams. All well seasoned

What’s his party foul: over serving everyone so he and Liam can just watch the chaos and laugh

Like Imogen flings food at Garrick and Garrick is arguing with Xaden about who is the better fighter but they’re all like half coherent and Liam is just sitting on Bodhis lap cheersing glasses like “our children are at it again dear”

Garrick:

Is he hosting: oh no

He’s the guest of honor

Also no one trusts him to host

So he gets a free pass

What dish is he known for: he is absolutely bringing a big roll of churam and he and Xaden are going on a ‘cousins walk around the neighborhood’

Party foul: They come back 30mins later completely high and can’t function at dinner and Violet has to help Xaden back to bed

Xaden

Is he hosting: reluctantly, yes. It was a hard no but Violet wanted to so of course he will host

I think like Bodhi he will cook. He’s a bit of a brat so he will make everything absolutely perfect and the food will taste so good

But if anyone goes in the kitchen he’s freaking out. That’s his space. It’s him, a bottle and he’s just cooking all day. Bodhi is allowed in on occasion

What dish is he known for: the meat. Perfect temperature. People fight over last bite

And of course cake

What’s his party foul: despite hosting a truly amazing dinner he’s such a grump. And everyone has to leave at 9:45 sharp

Liam:

Is he hosting: no, but every time he comes to the party everyone is like “Liam’s here!”

The best guest

Helps make food

Will always run to the store for forgotten food

Helps clean up and do dishes

Also brings gifts every time he comes over like a wood sculpture or something

What dish is he known for: probably the pies. I know this man can make a mean dessert

What’s his party foul: none! A true darling he is. Though he would totally be the person to crash out and nap after all the foods put away. He’s sitting with everyone talking one sec and just falls asleep the next.

Imogen

Is she hosting: lol

What dish is she known for: her Tupperware

What’s her party foul: drinking liquor out the bottle

[she-whatshername]

I have returned to my no sleep schedule which means I shall post unhinged Tyrrish men content. Both enjoy and you’ve been advised.

Could you imagine being in a little two-mance with Xaden and Garrick?

You wake up after a rather intimate night with the two of them

Xaden is face down to your left on his stomach, hands under his pillow snoozing away quietly

And Garrick is to your right, completely nude, one leg up just sprawled out

Feeling conflicted about being with them like this, knowing that you all usually don’t sleep in the same bed after, you decide to get up and head to your own room

Not before Xaden throws a leg over yours, anchoring you down into the mattress, one onyx eye cracking open to stare at you, muttering that you woke him up with your movement

He pulls you into against him, pressing you close and kissing you lightly on the forehead, grumbling (because he’s Xaden) that you need to go back to bed. It’s over, you’re not getting out of his embrace.

To confirm this theory, Garrick rolls over, throwing his arm over you and Xaden, locking you in for the night

Yes, their hearts belong to their revolution, and retribution. But for tonight, their hearts are yours. And you intend to keep them, just until the morning, and maybe for a bit more

[she-whatshername]

A Tyrrish men headcanon you did ask for

Prompt: beach day.

For the lovely @itsbeenmyhonor

Garrick:

Prepared and prompt as usual

Has the bags packed with necessities, a cooler with all the drinks

Snacks and sandwiches included

Packs a bottle of whisky because of course

What’s he doing at the beach: lounging mostly. He needs a break. May partake in a game of volleyball

Yes will flirt and make conversation with everyone

Beach foul: gets a little too tipsy and skinny dips / tries to catch the sea creatures with his bare hands

Bodhi:

The one you gotta remind several times to get up and get ready.

But once he’s up he’s ready to go. Packed last night. Probably will be the one to also bring a change of clothes.

What’s he doing at the beach: in the water the whole time, skimboarding or just floating in the water.

He’s probably the one dressed the best for the weather. Sun hat, reflective shorts, long sleeves. Sunscreen. His mother taught him well about taking care outdoors

He’s the one with the aloe gel taking care of everyone

Beach foul: feeding the animals, he gives the local birds one snack and all the creatures flock to their set up

Xaden:

It’s a toss up if he’s prepared or not. He’s either hyper organized, like everything has its own pocket and place, or he’s got a towel and is like, meh let’s go.

What’s he doing at the beach: napping under an umbrella or brooding somewhere lol

If it’s just a guys trip with Bodhi or Garrick, whole different story

What’s he doing at the beach: He’s on the skimboard, he’s surfing, he’s beating Garrick and Bodhi at whatever game they make up

He probably is the person who goes to the beach early before everyone for a run so he knows the best spot to set up.

Beach foul: getting to competitive, thus starting a fight with other beach goers. It’s not his fault no one can win against him and the others at volleyball

Probably would get grumpy about having too much sand on him at the end of the day lol

Liam:

Bless. He’s just rolling up to the beach hopping everyone brought a spare towel, sunscreen, etc

Hes just happy to be at the beach with everyone

Literally when everyone’s packing it’s like “and bring an extra one because you know Liam’s going to forget his…” lol

But he did make sure to put frozen snacks in the cooler.

What’s he doing at the beach: frisbee. He at least remembers to pack that. He’s Just running up and down the shoreline having a blast

Beach foul: not telling anyone where he’s going when he wanders away from the group.

100% naps in the car on the way back

[she-whatshername]

It’s time for a Sleepy Tyrrish Men Headcanons

Featuring this drama llama, Xaden

How does he sleep: arms crossed hanging upside down from the ceiling like the little bat gremlin he is

Lolol

Though I imagine it’s very stoic. On his side like Bodhi or asleep on his back. If he’s face down on his stomach that means he’s exhausted. Let him rest.

How many Pillows: two large pillows

Any blankets? Okay let’s talk about these sheets. Xaden has a comfy ass bed. Softest sheets, fluffy pillows and a thick quilt and fitted sheet. He is the king of lies turndown service and lives to fold down the sheets on your side of the bed each night as a silent invitation to snuggle up with him

If you’re out late his shadows are roaming around Riorson House looking for you. And id he’s late to bed and you fall asleep waiting up for him he picks you up to take you to bed and his shadows are pulling the covers up on you

Also, if you were ever like, I want new pillows or new sheets, he’d have it done. He wants you to feel comforted and safe in his room and will do everything you ask to make his room to your liking.

Like when you struggle to stay warm at night for whatever reason he’s employing Bodhi and Garrick to weave a warming rune into the blankets to keep you warm (because I just know those two are resourceful like thet and Xaden has trust issues to ask anyone else)

Nightmares? Yes. he hides it well and will not talk about them with you. However his eyebrows always give it away. If you see him asleep either his brows furrowed or narrowed with concern, gently caress his skin to soothe him back to sleep

Cuddler? Oh yes. He’s the type of Cuddler who likes to melt into you. He wants to cuddle with all his skin pressing against your skin. He loves to tuck you into him, with your forehead right at the level of his lips so he can press his face into your hair and pamper you with kisses

I know this fucker lives for some gossip too. He likes to wrap himself around you and be all warm under the covers and just talk shit lolol. He would absolutely be that guy who not only gives you the space to talk about your day but is actively invested in it. He is the drama and lives for it too. When you’re feeling overwhelmed and stressed he will tell you some old Basgiath gossip he unearthed while sneaking around in the shadows to help lighten the mood. I know this man knows some tea.

Does he snore? very lightly. He’s very much like Bodhis headcanon because brothers

Goodnight kiss? Forehead kiss every night. He also loves a slow, sensual kiss that leads to some intimacy but there will always be a forehead kiss

Bonus: hair braiding before bed. We know this sexy little weirdo has a thing for hair so I think he enjoys domestic activities like braiding your hair before bed, brushing it, or (for my bonnet folks ) massaging oils in your hair and wrapping it for you. He sits behind you on the bed, strong legs on either side of you while he has his hands on your hair. He doesn’t get a lot of time with you throughout the day but he looks forward to these moments most of all. When you offer to return the favor he will always oblige but the moment you run your hands in his hair he tenses up, moans a bit and then he’s all over you lolol

Is he waking you up for late night smooches? This is Xaden, of course he’s always UP to go DOWN if you know what I mean. He’s always looking for ways to love on you. Like if you breathe on him while you’re asleep he’s kissing you awake with that look in his eyes that means you’re in trouble but the best way possible.
