Hi! can I plz get headcanons 4 how the arranca boys of ur choice would react to having a human f s/o who goes through a really traumatic event & becomes really ill because of the stress & strain on her body; she survives, but the severity of her sickness took her voice. Like it started off as just a really bad sore throat & then escalated from there. Or, the event was just so traumatic that they could no longer talk? Like ever again; or at least, not for a long, long time. Ty in advance 💛

yw honey!! I did some reactions instead of headcanons bc they’re a little faster for me to get out, but I hope it still gets the point across!

CHARLOTTE

Forone thing, he does feel a little guilty if her trauma happened whilein Hueco Mundo, or after she met him. Rather than waste time feelingtoo bad about it, though, he focuses any energy he doesn’t alreadyuse to serve his king into taking care of his S/O. He doesn’t knowwhat might be best for a human in this situation, so he starts withthings he thinks he might appreciate if he were in her position —lots of attention and affection, bringing things she likes, and beingwith her as often as possible. It’s okay that she can’t speakright now. First of all, he can do enough talking for both of them,and second, there are other ways to communicate. He knows she’sgoing to recover from it, as well she can, and no matter whathappens, he’s going to be there for her. Oh, and she gets somany throat kisses, both as if he thinks it’s going to help andalso as just one more sweet, romantic gesture.

D-ROY

Whetherthis happened before or after they met, whether she’s beenvoiceless since he’s known her or if this is new, he’s angry anddisappointed that he couldn’t keep it from happening. Protectinghis S/O is just one more thing he’s useless at. Especially if hertrauma happened before they met, this comes off as self-centered, soD-Roy does his best to swallow it down and concentrate on her. Ofcourse, he’s… at a huge loss here. He doesn’t really know whatto do to make her feel better and sometimes will get frustrated withhimself if he can’t understand what she wants or needs when heasks. Until he can comprehend how to read, the two of them will haveto communicate through gestures. Oftentimes, he just cuddles with herand purrs, in the hope that it might comfort her. He purrs toself-soothe when he’s upset or in pain, so it’s worth a shot,right?

FINDORR

Ifthere’s one thing Findorr Calius is up for, it’s a challenge. Andthis situation is… very challenging indeed. It’s difficult tospeak to her, but thankfully, he’s very intent about learning toread so that she can write out for him when she wants to talk, orabout learning sign language so she can sign to him. Either way, hespends zero time feeling bad about any of this, and more time doinghis best to understand possible solutions to make their lives easier.Sometimes he can seem distant or indifferent; however, he’s smartenough to realize that neither of them needsto be talking to have a fulfilling relationship, even if they enjoyconversing with each other. Sometimes just sitting together in thequietis enough. Estoyaquí,mi corazón,his silence whispers, estoyaquí.

GRIMMJOW

Morethan anything, it just kind of pisses him off, regardless of how orwhen whatever happened went down. How dare something or someone thinkthey can just hurtherlike that, bad enough to make her stop talking?! It makes him feelpowerless,particularly if it happened before they met, and if that’s thecase, he’s incredibly bitter about the fact that he’s never beenable to hear her voice. That said,even though he can’t help being angry, he wants to be there for herinstead of just seething about something neither of them can change.He gets easily frustrated by trying to understand what she needs orwants, and sometimes just guesses. He might even swallow his prideenough to approach Szayel, attempting to learn how to read, so thathe can better take care of his S/O.

LUPPI

It’sunfortunate, but he’s a bit cruel about it initially. He’s upsetenough to tell her mean things like “Wouldyou stop being so silly and just speak?”and “Idon’t know why it’s so hard for you to just talk to me.”It comes off as insanely insensitive, and probably even hurtful as ifhe’s trying to downplay her trauma, act as though it’s no bigdeal, make her feel guilty for being unable to speak. After sometime, it becomes clear that even though that’s the result, it comesfrom a place of intense fear. Something happened to her, somethingbad enough to take away her willingness to talk despite the fact thatshe’s still physically capable of it. That’s terrifying.It scares him. Over time he learns to read her without words, knowingwhat she might want or need, and reacts accordingly… huffing if shegets overly grateful, though. Sometimes at night, when he clings toher, he’ll murmur that he’s sorry for being such a jerk before.

NAKEEM

Justthinking about how much she must be hurting and how much she’s beenthrough, enough to do this to her, makes him feel even moreprotective of her. This is sadto him, more than anything. Every kind word or gentle touch she’sever given him suddenly hurts worse; someone denied her those thingsand here she is giving them to him when she knows that Hollows areill-equipped to reciprocate. He’s even more driven to keep her safenow, doubly determined to prevent anything bad from happening to herever again. Learning to decipher her body language and any otherclues she might give him as to what she wants comes naturally to himbecause he knows he needsto learn.He just… hasto show her that he’s here, he always will be, even when it’s noteasy.

NNOITRA

He’stired, he’s too fucking tired to want to deal with one morehorrible thing happening. And this? Is… pretty horrible. Even if ithappened before he knew her, it still makes him angry in this awful,exhausted way. If it happened after they met, well, he just blameshimself for not being able to stop it, regardless of the fact thatshe certainly doesn’t think it’s his fault. Once in a while he’lljust feel so unbelievably frustrated that he does things like punchwalls before stalking off, or going out to hunt things in the mostbrutal manner he possibly can. He can’t doanything about this.It’s hard for him to be soft at all, he’s all sharp edges anddoesn’t ever really fitwith her. But if that’s what she needs, he can learn how to be justthat little bit less terrible.Not often, and just for her. Even so, he thinks she should leave him,because he is so, so sure he’s never going to know what to do forher… despite the fact that he does just fine. Fuck,it’s complicated.

SZAYEL

Takehow much fun you think he would be about this, and divide it by ten.His S/O is not going to be a very happy camper unless she enjoysbeing prodded at and made to be her boyfriend’s newest scienceproject. He asks entirely too many questions about what happened —whether he’s oblivious to the fact that he’s dredging uptraumatic memories, or just too tunnel-visioned to care at themoment. Especially if it happened after they met, it’s hisextremely inappropriate way of trying to exert some control over thesituation.Otherwise, he just feels helpless, and that is notan option for him. If she doesn’t want him trying out all manner ofexperimental ‘treatments’ to try and get her voice back, severalof which may be rather unpleasant, she’s going to have to draw ahardline in the sand. All that in mind, however, he’s quick at learningthe best ways to communicate with her, sothat part at least is rarely an issue.

TESLA

Hetries very, very hard not to dwell on what happened, no matterwhether it was before or after they met. What is he going to do bythinking about it? That isn’t going to change what happened andit’s not going to bring her voice back. When he does think aboutit, about how much pain she went through, thekind of thing that’s maybe a fraction of the trauma Hollows gothrough,all he gets in response is the feeling of his throat tightening. Shedeserves so much better than that. He’s angry that things lined upin a way that allowed this to happen to her. It’s important,though, that he keeps a lid on those feelings so he doesn’tfrighten her with their intensity. Instead, he does his best to becalm around her, to not get frustrated, even though it’s difficult.He pours every ounce of his existence into being softfor her; a barely perceptible smile, a subtle squeeze of her fingersthat he hopes is reassuring, a hand carding through her hair. Everymoment he can, he studies her, so that he might be able to learn howto understand what she needs.

YYLFORDT

Hetries to cover it up acting like it doesn’t matter in theslightest, but just thinking about whatever she’s been through…it makes him angry. Angrier than he’s ever been, he thinks…angrier than he even knows how to express. More than anything hewishes he could hunt down whoever, whatever,affected her so badly and just make them cease to exist. Much as hethinks he’s hiding his true feelings, he doesn’t have thecapacity to be really believable about it, and as a result, his S/Ocan definitely tell what he’s feeling. She knows he’s angry, andshe is too, and if she can convince him of this, he might accept thatsometimes all they can do is be angry together. It’s easy for himto get distressed about communication, because he’s not greatat it in the first place, and this makes it harder, so he’s proneto minor blowups about being unable to figure out what she wants. Afew rude things will probably slip out, things that he doesn’tactually mean that he was just too late to stop. Forget swallowinghis pride —he’ll choke it the fuck down and ask Szayel to help him out, evenknowing he’ll have to put up with that smug look on his brother’sface. Being able to do something for his S/O is, strangely, worth itto him.

//Back from the con. Full experience under the cut.

Thursday: We checked into the hotel. This was the first time we've ever gotten a hotel for Megaplex since we actually live relatively close. But it was totally worth it. The actual organization for pre-reg pick-up and non pre-reg was kind of chaotic, but we got it none the less. The roomie was trying to work on their fursuit half the night, but we still managed some decent sleep. Friday: So this is where things got weird. I got groped. This is the very first and only time this has ever happened at Megaplex for me and boy did it throw me for an unpleasant loop. I'll start at the beginning of the day. So the roomie still wanted to work on their fursuit and I wanted to go wandering around the con. Therefore, I went by myself. Also this was the first time I'd ever worn make up at this con. I'd gotten this super sweet purple shade that I thought looked cool on me and I was getting non-stop complements for it. Which made me really happy because I can't have my pink hair at work anymore. Everything was cool at first. I was running into con friends, was getting some sweet con-swag and commissions, and then I saw someone I'd seen for the last 4 cons now. So I was excited. Hey, it's my friends who are always friendly and sometimes share booze! I ran over, started talking to them.. and the first thing he does is reach over and touch his finger to my lips. "I LOVE these lips." He proceeds to wrap his arm around me, and as he keeps talking.. he keeps reaching down to rub his hand against my ass. NEVER has he done this before. I don't know howto react so I kinda just... stand there and take it and try to play it of as though nothing is wrong. He keeps asking me where my 'other half' aka my roomie is, and when I tell him they're up in the room working on their fursuit...he assumes I'm alone there. But then it gets worse and he asks me twice if I want to come to his room for harder drinks and 'to go for a ride.' Again I played it off and told him: "Nah, I'm good." After which he picks me up with one arm and I just kinda... laugh it off even though I was nervous as fuck. He tries to introduce me to some of his friends and at this point I'm trying to get away from them. As I excuse myself, he leans down to kiss me. I awkwardly move my head and he winds up kissing my glasses... to which I nervously laugh and go "That was my glasses." He apologizes and goes in for ANOTHER one. So I manage to turn my head and he catches my cheek instead. I finally manage to get away, and I hide for a little while with an artist I got a commission from. He tries to convince me to go to con security..and I'm just so busy freaking out that I can't do anything but stand there with him and chat for a bit. After that I decide to do some retail therapy and I head over to the Hyena Agenda booth to get t-shirts for my roomie and myself... and the guy comes back. He wraps his arms around me from behind and.. honestly I don't even remember what he said. I think he was asking me what I was buying. But the girl behind the booth thought we were dating I guess until he finally walked away and I admitted to her that I wasn't okay. She also tried to convince me to go to con security. I was just so nervous and afraid of being out there alone at that point that I got my shirts, went back to my room, messaged another artist friend about the situation as well as telling my roomie about it, and after a stress nap, the roomie went downstairs with me to finally talk to Con security. That was the most stressful day for me. But the con staff listened to me, promised I'd be left alone... and I did not see this guy at ALL for the rest of the con. Which was a relief. I kept seeing the girl he was with, but I didn't see him. We spent half of the rest of the night in Karaoke and then I went to the 18+ Ladie's panel, which was a lot of fun. Saturday: Luckily not much happened today. We went shopping, kinda waddled around, hung out with some friends, and ended the day in Karaoke where I kinda sorta got a little smashed. Which made everyone sound better lol Sunday: We went shopping. I managed to network with one of the dealers so I may or may not be working with them next yer to give them a little bit of help. Which will be awesome. I also helped another dealer get his Con shirt since he hadn't been able to leave the booth basically the whole time he'd been at the con. (That was an adventure. They'd already closed down the con store so I had to track people down for it. Especially since I had cash so they didn't have to do anything more than take the $20 and hand me the shirt.) We pretty much ended the day with the Puppeteering 101 panel, which was super fun and awesome. I wish more people had gone to that. Hotel rating: This hotel did NOT like us. It was pretty obvious from the way they treated some of us, as well as the fact that on one of the days, they had work going on IN the artist alley that pretty much chased a lot of people out of there. They didn't know how to keep it cold enough for the fursuiters and really only have a couple of areas cool enough that they wouldn't pass out. (in fact, someone DID pass out in the fursuit picture) It was also very awkward to have all of the day guests who weren't with our con wandering a round, shooting us all dirty looks, and hearing some of them making nasty comments at us. I didn't enjoy that at all. AND THEN THERE WAS PARKING. Those who had BOUGHT rooms couldn't park half the time. Security claimed there was no overflow parking...and it was just overall super hectic. The location also kinda sucked. You had to drive a ways in order to get to any of the food options around you. And honestly... the hotel food was not only expensive, but sucked hardcore. I was glad the roomie and I had been smart enough to bring sandwich stuff to live off of for the whole con. (Even though I had some complaints about how the con itself was run last year, last years hotel was much better. The full buy-out was fantastic, and they kept it cool enough it in all of the rooms so that the suitors wouldn't die. They had enough parking for the guests staying in the hotel and they also had overflow parking right across the street.) Con Management rating: *deep breath* Where do I begin? While I am VERY grateful and happy about how they handled the groping situation (I mean hell, the guy even kept checking on me to make sure everything was alright and nothing else had happened), other things... kinda left much to be desired this year. For example: The placement of the headless lounges. BOTH headless lounges, you had to walk outside to get to. While it was smart to have one next to the main hall (which was in the farthest building), the other one was in the building: The Tower. So the Suitors had to walk outside, through a restaurant or buy the pool, and crossover into the other building. Also, the fact that we were spread out into three different buildings was... quite odd. This might not actually have been management's fault, but the overall placement of things was a bit strange. I WILL Applaud them for corralling all of the baby furs in the farthest building for their panel, after some of the things I heard happened last year. Let's not let this turn into Rain Furrest. (AKA the con that was shut down primarily because of bad Babyfur behavior) Here's to hoping that next years will be a little bit better.
