help i love your hcs i need your opinion on onceler/greedler (or both if you want) trying horror escape room lol

trying to escape, are you?

♱ pairing: slight onceler/greedler x reader

♱ note: had this sitting in my inbox, ty for your ask!

♱ warnings: slight suggestive themes/actions

────────────── ⋆⋅♰⋅⋆ ──────────────

escaping with onceler 𖤐 it had been a harmless invitation at first, and onceler seemed excited with how quickly he had accepted, not at all afraid

𖤐 oh, how wrong you had been.

𖤐 for one, you had completely forgotten how much of an absolute scaredy cat this man was (and still is)

𖤐 i mean walking into the building, he was already nervous, wringing his hands constantly and messing with his hair

𖤐 as you walked up to the front desk with his lanky frame following close behind, you can hear him muttering to himself

"okay, this is starting to seem like a bad idea . . ." 𖤐 you had to reassure him constantly the entire time you were in that stuffy room that no, you wouldn't get stuck, and yes, they would let you out of the room if you failed to escape

𖤐 he of course, after your escapade, denied ever acting like a scaredy-cat jumping at the slightest noise or creaking of a door

𖤐 typical oncler.

𖤐 when it came to finding clues, though, he was actually pretty good at noticing the little details

𖤐 he probably has 20/20 vision, cause how else did he find the false wall that opened into a secret little storage cupboard?

𖤐 solving clues involved a little more brain power, but he didn't let you down here either exactly

𖤐 eventually you two fell into a rhythm, with you mostly solving the clues onceler found while he hunted for more

𖤐 at one point, you had to reach for a red, thick book on the top shelf, and were struggling to do so

𖤐 you ignored the shock that trickled down your spine when he pressed up behind you, even if it were just for a second

𖤐 he seemed to have not even realized what he had just done, handing the book over to you with a goofy smile

𖤐 when you made your inevitable escape through the once-bolted door, he picked you up and swung you around

"we did it! we actually made it out of there! i can't believe it!" 𖤐 later at his tent-house, where you both had retreated to for the night for a celebratory meal of pancakes, you both laughed well into the morning over how onceler had kept hitting his head on various things in the escape room

𖤐 damn him and his tallness.

────────────── ⋆⋅♰⋅⋆ ──────────────

escaping with greedler 𖤐 onceler's slight annoying ego when it came to admitting his initial fear of escape room was pale in comparison to greedler's

𖤐 let's face it, them being the same person and all, but greedler having 10 times greater of an ego? this was bound to go wrong

𖤐 you're not even sure why you invited him, especially when he seemed so cocky about it at first

"an escape room? how childish. don't get me wrong, i've done countless before. is this the best you could think of?" 𖤐 regardless, he agreed eventually and showed up, even if it was in much more dramatic than needed kind of way

𖤐 what kind of person rides a limousine to an escape room?

𖤐 he seemed bored and unimpressed by the interior of the building, like he'd seen much better rooms in his life

𖤐 still, you could still see he was slightly nervous with the way he ran his fingers through his hair

𖤐 old habits die hard, you supposed.

𖤐 compared to onceler, greedler was a lame excuse of a help

𖤐 sure, he pointed out a letter or two stowed away behind a desk, but he mostly just sat and lazily watched you do everything yourself

"me? oh you know i'm just here to keep you company. i am not getting these gloves dirty." 𖤐 the best part for you, though, was definitely when a plastic spider popped out of a wardrobe and right into his face

𖤐 the high pitched shriek he had let out then was beautiful.

𖤐 surprisingly, he didn't seem adverse to helping you solve clues, although it did give him more boasting rights, so there's that

𖤐 when the room suddenly grew uncomfortably hot with 10 minutes left (a clever design) he peeled off the many layers he was wearing, and so did you

𖤐 it would be a lie if you said you didn't stare as much as you did when greedler pulled his sleeves up

𖤐 working in the heat and being uncomfortably close was not a good combination, but you two surprisingly made it work

𖤐 when you finally cracked the code and opened the door, you squeezed him in a bone crushing hug as you cheered

𖤐 you were shocked when he didn't pull away instantly, and even more when he returned the hug, (ignoring, once again, the way you shivered when his hands settled on your waist)

𖤐 he pulled away eventually, of course

"don't get your sweat all over me. this is designer, you know."

𖤐 you went out to dinner afterwards, where you noticed he was smiling at you a lot more than usual, and you smiled right back.

Greed-ler, the greedy host of his own WarioWare microgames.

[pennyparsnip]

I feel like delulu posting my 2012 Once-ler/ Greed-ler headcanons, so here you go:

The Greed-ler Suit

Is made out of truffula/ is a thneed and absorbs all the filth in the air. That would be why the Once-ler is the only clean looking thing by the end of the movie. What makes me think this? Because we see when he gets rotten tomatoes thrown at him in the beginning of his thneed selling journey, the thneed is able to get the tomato completely out of his vest and shirt (which are 2 different materials). This is the same thneed we saw him use to soak up a cup of water and mop his floor just before he set out to sell them! He also wore this thneed on the walk to Greenville, so that thing was full of sweat too when it cleaned those tomatoes.

The greed-ler suit being a fancy thneed being green would just go to further show their versatility! "Look at this! They can even be dyed to be an unnatural color!" it would portray! He would be a walking advertisement.

Would smell so bad by the end of the movie because of the water pollution lol. Ain't no damn WAY that once the water is that polluted, ANYONE is able to have clean laundry, let alone people who have garments that need special care. I know I sure didn't see any infrastructure to properly care for the water! Just what they needed in order not to look at the shloppity-shlop. So, if the greed-ler suit is made of truffula, there is no way at all that it doesn't need special laundering. Do you think that could be done without clean water? I don't think so!

When it is properly laundered and cared for, the Once-ler smells like butterfly milk because thats how truffula tufts smell. As the suit falls into disrepair, the smell would start to get sour like curdled milk.

Is hand made. You can NOT tell me he didn't make that suit and the gloves himself. You can see by the end of the movie that the lines on the suit are starting to look jagged and not quite right when, in the beginning, it didn't look like that. The more suits he made, the less he was able to hold it together, and the less he cared about what he was doing. I think it's meant to show he got sloppy and uncaring with time when he used to be so passionate and care deeply about what he did and what he put out into the world.

The Once-ler was treated poorly by his family because of his natural affinity towards recycling/ nature

Okay, hear me out. Hear me out!!

When we first see the whole family, what is the most notable thing about the environment around them? It's dead. Every inch of the environment around that family home is dead. But as we follow the Once-ler while he leaves home, we see the environment brighten up and become livelier! The further he is from home, we dont just see him relax and become more alive, we see the whole ecosystem start to thrive (personally, I think the scenery we see him traverse is meant to be places that the family has already been and devastated, but thats just one of my "source: I made it the fuck up" ideas lol! In the book, we get the lore that the Once-lers hop from place to place as the environments they infest can't keep up with them.).

So, with that in mind, think about the way he behaved immediately when he found the truffula trees; he was immediately filled with wonder! He called it beautiful and was moved to tears nearly! He broke out into song ffs. When he was approached by the animals, he was friendly and sang with them! We saw him mindlessly fling his stuff around, but as soon as he realized, "Oh maybe I should reign this in. They didn't like that!" he did! He started learning to live with the animals and in the environment before the Lorax got involved. You can't tell me that the face he makes when he sees how happy sharing his marshmallows with the forest critters wasn't genuine joy. That man loves the forest, and you can not tell me he wasn't doing his best, considering he had no knowledge to build off of when he got there.

When his family comes, we get to see their first impressions of the truffula trees, and it was with disgust, disrespect, disregard, and disassociation in that order as his family got out of the RV. Their reactions are literally not only the opposite of the Once-ler's, but it was directly oppositional to his reaction. The family came in an RV (which is the first pollutant to the forest) and parked WAY too close to the Once-ler's camp; they overshadow him and the environment both literally and metaphorically when they show up. They're throwing the bears, bending the trees, trying to fist fight the forest guardian... they're showing none of the care that the Once-ler was naturally inclined to show. Any time he talks to his mom, his face is shadowed, or he isn't the focus of whatever the shot is. Hes not only not like them, hes not equipped to deal with knowimg that he is not like them, and hes also not equipped to deal with them knowing that he isn't like them.

Once-ler details I noticed that make me giggle and kick my feet

(I need to be sent to a psych ward lol)

His blanket is not just handmade. Oh no. We see he has his baby blanket sewn into it!!! He even picked a thread color that matches both fabrics. But.. the baby blanket is sewn on crooked. This makes me think that this blanket he made was probably a first project or when he was a beginner! Pulling from personal experience with knitting/ sewing, blankets are a very common project for beginners.

He fixes his guitar after that one asshole kid smashes it. We see that the guitar is visibly broken at the beginning of How Bad Can I Be when it was fine before that. After the thneed finds success, the first brand new thing we see the Once-ler buy is a new guitar that looks like his old one that the asshole kid smashed, and he DESERVED THAT NEW GUITAR!!!

We see that he brought those 2 giant bags of marshmallows with him from home. If he didn't set out to the truffula forest and didn't know to expect the animals to love the marshmallows... you're gonna tell me he didn't bring those marshmallows for himself? I don't believe you. He brought those big ass bags of marshmallows because he loved them, and he didn't know when he would be seeing them again. Which makes it even more sweet that he was so willing to share!!!! I will absolutely not be accepting criticism about that!!

He made a table, a chair, and a pitcher out of the trunk of the first truffula tree he chopped down. We can clearly see all 3 of them in the scene when the family first shows up. They are all patterened exactly the same as the truffula trees. So that means he used the whole entire tree, including the fruits, because if he didn't cook with it, the animals would eat it.

My sources are that I have a hyperfixation and that I feel it in my heart, bro
