#better humidity in there

[cthulhusstepmom]

Price is the first one to suspect something is up. Largely because he has trouble believing that the same man who buys all the god awful frozen dinners has a secret vegetable habit, he barely eats them when they're served for dinner but he almost always has a bag of kale or spring mix in the communal fridge.

When he confronts Soap about it what he didn't expect was a goddamn nervous breakdown, babbling about "ye wernae sposed to find oot, I promise ye they're all wee angels". When he puts his foot down, expecting the worst as he makes the poor sergeant unlock his door with shaky hands, he's pleasantly surprised at the state of Soap's room.

As a rule, he'd put his foot down on room inspections for the 141, mainly for Ghost. The poor boy doesn't need people going through his things he's traumatized enough. Looking Shepherd in the eye and saying "you haven't got a problem ignoring the things we do in the field when it suits."

He'd expected the small room to look like... Well like an explosion had gone off. Instead it's pristine, not an article of clothing out of place, on the window there's even what looks like a slightly pathetic attempt at a garden. What draws his eye is the massive box that runs adjacent to the bed. Scratch that it's a stack of boxes, a large one on the bottom running about eight feet, maybe three feet deep and a couple of feet high, on top of it are a couple of four foot by two foot by two foot boxes. They take up nearly the entirety of the room, making it a tight walkway between the boxes and the bed and there's just enough space by the wall to shimmy around the back to get to the small bathroom.

On top of the two boxes are heat lights and a long strip light. Soap is shaking and wringing his hands as Price rounds the front and stops in his fucking tracks. He'd expected a herd of rabbits to be perfectly frank, hadn't really pegged his sergeant as a reptile person but he supposes it makes sense with just how excited he gets wading in crocodile infested waters.

"Sergeant?"

Soap squeaks out a shaky "Yes sir?"

"Is that a labyrinth mutation?"

Soap doesn't speak for a moment, doing a great impression of his goldfish counterpart. Slowly a blinding smile breaks on his face.

"Yessir"

Team Awesome Headcanons because I just really love them

Whenever Rapunzel is gone on a diplomatic trip and Eugene has stayed behind (he’s captain of the guard, he can’t always go away for long stretches of time) he will have sleepovers with Varian (or sometimes Lance) because he’s found that he really doesn’t like sleeping alone.

Varian stole a cardboard cut out of Eugene that was intended for a celebration. He keeps it in his lab as a joke, it freaks Eugene out everytime he sees it. But he also kinda loves it, it makes his cheekbones look great.

They’re both big readers, so sometimes they will read the same book and talk about it together.

They have plans to write an adventure book together.

Eugene finds the fact that Varian had a crush on Flynn Rider hilarious, but it’s not something he ever brings up. Varian is kind of embarrassed by it.

Eugene sucks at cooking and baking but Varian is actually pretty great at baking, and he can cook well enough. With Varian’s help Eugene can make technically edible food.

Eugene forces Varian to take spa days when he thinks he’s overworking himself. Rapunzel and Lance occasionally join.

If Ruddiger isn’t hanging around Varian he’s probably with Eugene, they’ve bonded.

Varian once refused to talk to Eugene for a full day because Eugene mentioned taking Ruddiger with him on a diplomatic trip and not Varian. Eugene thought that Varian going was kind of implied. (It’s okay Eugene, Varian is just a moody teenager and he’s a little stupid.)

They both know Morse code and will use it to communicate during boring meetings.

Varian felt bad about missing and also being kidnapped on Eugene’s birthday, so he got him a crappy romance novel and cheap hand lotion. It’s all he could find/afford on short notice. They sucked, but Eugene still loved them.

Now for Eugene’s birthday, he makes him lotion. It’s a different scent every year. And it’s better than anything else in Corona.

Varian’s gloves do not last very long due to the chemicals + wear and tear they go through. So Eugene gets him a new pair occasionally. For Varian’s birthday he got him a pair imported from the Dark Kingdom, and Rapunzel embroidered on them.

Varian secretly loves stuffed animals. Eugene got him a stuffed raccoon for Winter Solstice. It was the first time someone other than his dad had gotten him a gift for Solstice in a long time. He cried.

Varian crying is Eugene’s second least favorite noise. Right under Rapunzel crying.

Varian once had a nightmare where Eugene hated him. It tore him up and he literally traveled to Corona in the dead of night to ensure it wasn’t true.

Varian is incredibly close to Rapunzel, but he is slightly closer to Eugene because they understand each other a bit more. 

Both being former criminals, both hailing from the dark kingdom and only recently knowing about it, both struggling to find out who exactly they are, both being commoners who are now essentially royalty, etc.

Eugene doesn’t refer to Varian as his brother often, but he does in times of strong emotions. Varian refers to Eugene as his brother a little more often though, since it means that people are less likely to bother him due to his connections (and also because it makes him so happy.) As they get older they do refer to eachother as their brother more often.

Eugene was the first to refer to Varian as his little brother, and this was when he was telling off some noble for harassing Varian. Varian first referred to Eugene as his brother whilst sassing him.

IM BACK

[ragsy]

"your reptile and invertebrate pets will never love you back" that's literally fine, i'm not here for a transactional relationship. however, what DOES upset me about critter keeping is the fact that i can't scoop them up and kiss them on the little heads because they're so very small and i am huge and scary to them :(

[phosphorescentspaceman]

[trans-elrond]

[hyah-through-hyrule]

We took Salami to the vet and she diagnosed him with perfect boy

[stardustedknuckles]

Walking with my mask on outside because my face was cold and some guy on a bicycle came towards me and like articulated "achoo" at me all sarcastic. It was so stupid I didn't even register what his point was in time, I just happened to see him angle towards me to yell it and my instinct when anyone tries to get my attention in the city is to never let on that you heard/saw them. So.

Guy riding bike down the street yells "achoo" for reasons nobody else understands because nobody thought he was communicating with them in any way. Idiot.

[ryehouses]
