Dating Richard Camacho headcanon

Authors Note: This all over the place lmao so bear with me. I also got a little carried away oops.

Y’all prolly met at the club or a house party tbh(like almost every other Richard fic :’)

And you were there looking bomb as ever ;)

And he was there looking fine as ever ;)

And you were just in a corner talking to a few friends when he sat beside you

At first it wasn’t a big deal bc it’s a couch..hello

But when y’all got a good look at each other’s faces under the smoke and blue laser lights

Y’all were like

:0

So that’s how you met, lol

It might’ve taken a long time for you guys to actually start dating

With him being so private and secure when it comes to relationships

And you having bad experience with relationships

You guys took it slow, yet you both considered each other as your s/o even if you guys haven’t even shared a kiss

And after, let’s say, four months, y’all started dating

Anyway

Starting now with and actual headcanon

My boy’s hands are on you 24/7

Your hips, waist and ass are his hand holders

Literally cannot get enough of you

If you’re cooking you can bet your ass he’s wrapping his arms around you(or just unpacking takeout if you don’t cook)

Squishing you into his buff chest with his strong arms :’) whatta dream

Even in public his hands are wrapped tightly or losely around your waist, 0 fucks given at the pictures people take or the stares

He’s you number one support and judge

Perfect candidate to take to the mall when you want to buy some clothes or whatever

This is one horny ass man(but y’all knew that already)

Anything you wore he’d just melt and start making Inappropriate jokes

“How’s this one” you’d mutter mostly to yourself as you examined the dress

“It’s great ma, it look even better on the floor tho” He’d chuckle darkly

But your just like

“guess I’ll fuck him in the dressing room ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “

Sometimes you have those down moments where you basically just hate yourself(terrible fucking feeling m8)

BUT RICHARD IS HAVING NONE OF THAT

I feel like he’d cancel EVERYTHING he has on his schedule and clean the whole house and set up the cutest fort and puts on a shit ton of Disney movies and snacks for you

He takes his time leaving soft and gentle kisses all over your body, starting from the top of your head to the tip of your toes, whispering sweet nothings in your ear before lazily clicking play on the little mermaid

He could barely focus on the movie

His hands would be draped lazily over your stomach squeezing the soft skin(making you uwu)and his head buried in the crook of your neck, giving you innocent kisses

A wide smile permanent on your face

You’d order some take out and just drink some red wine as he worships your body in the most innocent ways possible to the dirtiest ways

This dude is the dream boyfriend once he’s met the one honestly

and vice versa

Every time he feels down(which isn’t a rare thing) you’d be there.

His head would be against your chest as you softly massage his scalp, lips pressed against his forehead and you whispered all the things you love about him and all the good qualities that he has

MELTING IS WHAT THIS BOY IS DOING ON THE INSIDE

MELTING

Anywhore, moving on

it took Richard 6 months for him to introduce you to Aaliyah bc he wanted to make sure that you were actually serious

Which is completely understandable

He was so nervous bc like

whAT if you don’t want that big of a commitment??

Or what if Aaliyah doesn’t like you???

His worst nightmare is both his baby girls not getting along

Literally had to take a moment alone so he could recompose himself

He wouldn’t know what hell to do if both the loves of his life dont get along

But let’s be honest

He was stressing for nothing

You guys ended up loving each other

It took Aaliyah a few minutes to open up due to her shyness

But y’all ended up being the best of friends

And Richards heart just meLTED

You ended up befriending Yocelyn too

And Richards all like :0

If you weren’t confident before you met him, then he really did boost your confidence up little by little

Starting with random messages throughout the day

Some sweet other explicit ;)

Would take so many pictures and videos of you just so you could see how pretty you are

And if you were already confident(which we all should be :’)

Y’all would take some bomb ass pictures together

Like them cute ass insta couples

Will make such cute and inappropriate comments under your posts

Making many fans gush and hollar

Ugh, goals man, literal goals

Most fans don’t take the news well

Hate comment after hate comment

But you know what?

Y’all prolly fucking too hard to pay attention

This man is a sex God(I have no proof but I have no doubts either)

Y’all caNNOT change my mind

Pull out game weak(sorry lol)

But goOD THING YOU’RE ON THE PILL!!

This one kinky motherfucker istg

From bondage to breeding to choking to ooff I need a shower

Will take you anywhere in the house

The couch? check

Kitchen? check

Guest room? check

I want to say that he’s into public sex but I doubt it, like he’d think it’s hot but he wouldn’t want to risk anything

LUCKILY YOU’RE THERE TO PUSH HIS BUTTONS!!! ;)))))

Lazy make out sessions are a common thing

Lots of booty grabbing

My man loves that booty

You get along perfectly with the guys

Even though at first all of you were a bit iffy

Because

“Oh shit, new girl and she isn’t a one night stand :0”

But after like a week maybe, all of you started getting more comfortable

Maybe a little too comfortable which had Richard seeing red

I mean

He’d love the fact that everyone was getting along

BUT THERES BOUNDARIES !!

Ooff did I mention that he’s super protective with a tad bit of possessiveness

Not enough to be considered dangerous or unhealthy but enough to irritate you

“Like back tf up bruh I can protect myself”

And he’s all like

:0

You could be at the club, dancing and having the time of your life and some guy just creeps up behind you

And Richards got this murderous look on his face that even scared you

But let’s not lie, mad Richard is a sexy Richard

Y’all have some bomb sex after but then a deep conversation about your faithfulness to each other

Speaking of conversations

It’s 2:49am and y’all talking bout raiding Area 51 or some shit

You’re both drunk off sleep that you just go deep in thought

Or it could be 11:11pm and you guys are just confessing your love for one another

Singing his songs while you clean around the house or catch up on your work

And his just staring at you with the biggest heart eyes

Random slow dances with or without music happens at least one a week

Dates could go from a fancy ass Italian restaurant or a stop at 7/11 and a drive around the streets listening to slow r&b music

You could be gazing up at the stars and he’d try his best to focus on the road instead of your beautiful face

Days away from him suck ass

With him touring and practicing could be hard on both of y’all

But you make it work

Or when he’s finally home and you have to go to uni or work leaves him a bit disappointed

But you’ll do some romantic shit when you or he gets back

THIS MAN WILL SPOIL THE SHIT OUT OF YOU

will surprise you with diamond earrings or necklaces

You end up calling him your sugar daddy jokingly

Speaking of nicknames

Calls you mami more than your name

Like, does he even know your name?

Prolly not(jk)

You’re just mami, baby girl or babe

But you don’t mind whatsoever

Teaching you Spanish)if you already don’t know it) and kissing you every time you get something right

He’s a messy one lady’s

So every time you fight it’s prolly bc of his mess

You end up yelling at him to clean the mess

And he act all offended but does as you says cause he’s a good boy

Literally cried when Aaliyah calls you mommy

But your panicking

Like full on panicking

Like what if Yocelyn comes and drags your ass??

You’re out here worrying while Richard is bawling his eyes out in happiness

None of them have a problem with it thankfully

It just means you’re treating their baby girl right

Now it’s your cue to cry

Damn you love both of them so much

And he loves both of y’all twice as much

OH and meeting your family would be the end of him

His having a full on breakdown once again

His confidence is out the window

Cause what if they don’t accept him bc he’s a dad????

Or bc he’s constantly on the road and not being able to give you all the love and attention you deserve???

That’ll crush him

And Yashua’s prolly making fun of him lowkey

Your dad(or male figure if you don’t have a dad) would intimidate THE SHIT out of him

But once again, after a few minutes or hour

Everyone got along perfectly

Your family ended up loving him and his family ended up loving you just as much

And there’s so much more that could go on with dating Richard but this is all my poor brain could think of

Plus I’m afraid that if I write more tumblr will fuck my shit up like always :’)

Deuces ���🏼

Alright... I'm going to assume that you're coming from a place of genuine curiosity and not asking in bad faith.

I answered an ask a while ago about Helia (and Nabu) where I mentioned the pacifist thing! But essentially, there's a very,,, weird stereotype about asian men (specifically east asian and seasians but I do occasionally see it with south asian men as well!) that depicts them as Very Calm and Pacifist and Anti-Violence and usually Feminine (by western standards). This often goes hand in hand with colorism and classism, wherein this stereotype is mainly seen with pale-skinned, upper-class asian men as opposed to darker skinned and/or poor asian men (who usually get the dirty/aggressive/abusive treatment instead; Nabu was actually a very big subversion of this but he did unfortunately get the south asian magician stereotype instead so... wins and losses i guess).

As Helia and Nabu are the only asian coded male main characters in Winx and they both fall into this stereotype (with the fandom then treating them wildly differently based on their coded ethnicities)... it gets really awkward. You have to consider why no one ever headcanons Nabu as a pacifist when the two of them are introduced similarly and have similar personalities and backstories. This paired with the fact that Helia is definitely not a pacifist in canon (he canonically is very down with violence) and this pacifist comment was made once off-hand by a white coded character who didn't know him or like him at the time... it gets nasty!

When the fandom headcanons that Helia is a pacifst, they're almost always directly ignoring and going against canon to hold up a huge racial stereotype that didn't affect him in the first place. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with canon or having contradictory headcanons, but when you have one that is very much a racist trope that's also been disproven by canon and fanon alike,, it's not great, to say the least. It takes a huge shit on what Rainbow actually did right with his character (and the other asian characters) by reducing him to a racist trope that doesn't work with his characterization at all (seriously, why would a pacifist go to a military school?). And in order to make him being a pacifist make sense, people often end up completely changing his personality and goals to a point where he ends up being a different character.

Examples of this would be, Helia genuinely liking Red Fountain and enjoying being a Specialist to hating the school, Saladin (his grandfather), and also not really liking the other Specialists at all (even when Helia directly implies that they're his found family... in canon...). Or him going from the Best Specialist who only flip flops between RF and art because he enjoys art to being completely clueless about fighting or defense. Or Helia being a relatively "masculine" man in the traditional sense but then people make him hyper-feminine or a literal cis woman instead (which goes into the emasculation of asian men by non-asians).

Like,,, I'm never trying to just shit on people's headcanons yknow? But the winx fandom has always had an issue with extremely racist headcanons that literally never get called out or get completely ignored when they do. (I've literally seen white people in this fandom call fans of color "fandom police" for calling out racism. It's not as bad on tumblr as it is on twt or insta but it is still there and noticeable.) When people headcanon that Helia is a pacifist, it's always from that racist trope in mind, even if they aren't consciously aware of it. It's wrong because they see an east asian coded man with long hair and an interest in the arts and their brains immediately go "well he obviously hates masculinity and this white guy said he's a pacifist so it must be true so literally every single thing they show in canon that goes against that is actually ooc based on this one thing that a white guy who didn't know him said. obviously".

And while we're here! About the Musa thing, I think it highly depends on who's doing it. When a non-asian person defeminizes Musa, I get very suspicious because there are still tons of stereotypes about asian women that don't fall in line with the hyper-feminine ones. For instance, the Super Cool Motorcycle Martial Artist With A Colored Streak In Her Hair stereotype! When an asian person, and especially an asian woman, headcanons Musa to be less traditionally feminine, I don't think it's as bad because they're usually aware of this trope and they're coming at it from a place of resonating with her and understanding her feelings about femininity and traditionally feminine things in a way that non-asian people wouldn't understand. Musa's non-femininity directly ties to her culture and her father, so while non-asian women can understand not wanting to be feminine, they won't understand the specific cultural and racial aspects of it that Musa goes through. Really, only other woc would understand that, but if they're not asian themselves, they can still fall into stereotyping asian characters.

While Rainbow did get a lot wrong in regard to Musa and Melody, her characterization was actually really solid. She's one of the few asian characters from that era that doesn't fall into either of the two extremes (ie hyper-feminine vs hyper-masculine). So when non-asian people then ignore that... it's always super weird. They ignore the fact that she does like certain traditionally feminine things and doesn't feel awkward experiencing them (and actively chooses to engage in it herself) to headcanon her as the Cool Tomboy Who Hates Feminine Things. Or they ignore her more masculine side and constantly deck her out in traditional clothing. But again, this really only happens with non-asian fans; most asian fans do understand her because they've likely felt the exact same thing at some point in their life.

oh are we talking about racism rn? cool cool i have thoughts

the defeminization of the other winx can definitely be rooted in misogyny however the defeminization of musa and aisha are 100% rooted in racism.

stop making musa a walking festival in your redesigns. her entire thing was prioritizing her comfort and dreams rather than her father's wishes. she literally only wears more traditional dresses during formal events and when she wants to dress up. her magic winx or any other transformation being traditional wear doesn't make sense and is usually racism from the fandom.

nabu is indian coded. him being dark skinned and dating aisha doesn't mean he's automatically black. it's cool if you're a black fan who thought he was black because of rep but 1. please recognize his coding and 2. if you're not black or asian please reassess why you immediately thought he was black and continue to ignore his blatant coding.

trans helia headcanons are still largely problematic, especially from cis fans. insisting he's a pacifist is still racist. making him extremely unemotional is also racist.

while nabu's death is problematic in its own right, aisha not moving on would make it worse. either keep him alive or let her move on. keeping her single is never good rep.

editors and gifmakers are still whitewashing. stop that.

and stop liking and reblogging content that's whitewashed. it's been years. we talk about it constantly. it takes one fucking second to double check that a character isn't bright white. stop giving excuses and do better. take the damn L and delete shit if you notice it later. confront the op and stop making us do the dirty work.

yes we notice when you leave out the entirety of asia except for china, south korea, and japan in your melody headcanons.

joking about galatea being white is still weird.

viewing musa as a tomboy is fine. completely removing any feminity she has (and canonically is okay with), making her violently reject her culture, and making her dad much worse than he ever was is still bad.

stop giving aisha extremely straight/vaguely wavy hair in your art and redesigns??? it's shitty animation from the early 2000s yeah but her hair is absolutely meant to be textured. she has defined curls and it holds shape. it's not fucking beach waves. (hint: it's anywhere in the 3 to 4 range. stop doing 1 and 2 hairstyles.)

if a poc tells you you're being racist, getting defensive and insisting we're the bullies is just proof that you are.

learn what whitewashing is and stop thinking it's just making someone's skin tone lighter.

yeah it's weird when you make flora specifically not latina in your redesigns. that's not rep or a fun headcanon. it's erasure.

yes, it's a little weird when you redesign riven to be dark-skinned. this highly depends on you and how you're portraying him. if you continue to portray him as hyper masculine and problematic or even downright abusive (an issue on its own), then yeah keep him white <3

white people: you do not get to decide what is and isn't racism and you sure as hell don't get to argue with us about it. you may not understand, you may disagree, but you don't get to come into our spaces and argue about how you think we're wrong about racism.

fans of color: don't feel bad about blocking racists. don't feel bad about soft or hard blocking mutuals because they crossed too many lines. don't give up your safe space and integrity in the hopes of changing their minds.

this.
