Deimos!Alexios when Kassandra and Myrinne hug him-

Alexios: "What was that?"

Kassandra: "Affection."

Alexios: "Disgusting."

Alexios: "Do it again."

Tim doesn’t know that he’s touch starved, he never questioned that weird itch he felt deep with in his bones. Sure it wasn’t quite as prevalent on the rare moment his parents were home and in a good mood. Tim thought it’s normal to crave any scrap of affection his parents threw his way when they were home. But the empty feeling and bone deep aches never went away. Tim never knew he was touched starved. One day while out stalking the bats he tripped and feel off a roof leading robin to rescue him. Robin catches him but doesn’t immediately put the boy down. Tim was stiff before realizing that being held was nice. For the first time the bone deep aches went away. He was kinda sleepy being held though, was that normal? Tim starts to purposely put himself in danger on the nights where not much else was going on in Gotham, not a lot of danger but enough to maybe score a Robin hug! He makes sure to disguise himself each time, no need to make the bats worry about saving the same boy over and over again. Tim would also watch as Batman hugs each of his children and wonder if that’s what hugs are supposed to be like, not the half hearted side hug he would rarely get from his parents. Years later of following this pattern Tim still doesn’t know he’s touched starved. He watched as the robins change and then Robin disappeared. Tim watched as Batman grew more violent till the point he decided to step in and become Robin himself to save Batman! Training was rough but it’s the most he’s been touched in years in a single sitting, so what if this kind of touch comes with bruises! The bone deep aching was dimmer after training. Tim never knew he was touched starved. Nightwing tried to give the new Robin, Tim, a hug exactly one time, Tim must have done it wrong because nightwing never tried to hug him again. Life moves on. A year later Red hood attacks Titans tower. Tim would get him get some hits in as he does with everyone he fights to ease his hollow aches. Red hood pins Tim down and Tim just melts into the touch.

How would werewolf miguel react to pets? I wanna pet the beeg boi.

If we're talking about ATSV Miguel, he'd probably act annoyed, but make zero effort to avoid it.

I’m fighting off Demons (an unknown virus) so here are the Bats various home remedies/ how they behave when ill

Bruce: can’t stop won’t stop moving if I die I die ig? Illness is a mindset for himself. For his kids? Give him 3 hours he’s synthesizing a cure his babies will never be sick in his presence how dare you.

Dick: makes the most bomb lentil soup and also has about 90 million metric tons of ginger tea with lemon and honey. He saved a beekeeper early on as nightwing so he gets really high quality very nice ethically sourced honey that all the Batkids keep trying to steal. He does the R&R except he’s an acrobat so R&R is doing paperwork while on coms

Jason: Lazarus pit + a childhood running around in very unsanitary environments means he’s never sick. But when he is he always just assumes this is the end for him and he won’t wake up the next day bc he everything hurts. (He has literally been ill like 4 times in his life he doesn’t know what to do here) so he just kinda finds a corner to die in like your elderly pet and he wakes up fine after a few hours and he’s always surprised.

Cass: has never been sick will never be sick

Steph: Steph is on top of her shit, she has a whole ass gallon of soup delivered, pre portioned and frozen in microwave safe containers. She also has a drawer of various vitamins, cough drops and syrups. She doesn’t have time to lay around so she tries everything to get up and at em as quick as possible. Sadly due to this she ends up with like a really weak residual cough for a few weeks even if she got 99% better after 5 days

Tim: L+ ratio + no spleen + has to be put in a sterilized room for observation if he so much as coughs

Damian: steals Dicks lentil soup, Steph’s vitamin gummies and cuddles with his pets if he knows illness wont transmit to pets. Or if he’s feeling really bad he gets very cuddly with his brothers but only Dick and Jason because they both run very warm and he must steal the warm. But also he rlly only goes to Jason when he’s delirious and in pain because he just doesn’t want the teasing. Bruce he’s a sick Damian wrapped up in a bunch of blankets with his arms around dicks neck sleeping peacefully and gets violently Jealous.

Duke: goes to doctor, takes his meds, it’s the only thing he’s normal about. His parents taught him well he’s not gonna ignore that.

I can't help but read Will Graham as touch starved. Like, every time I look into this mans sad little eyes, I think, "He just wants to be petted and cuddled"

MY TOUCH STARVED BABY

Image 1: A screenshot of an anime. A close up of someone bandaging up another person's ankle as they stand on sidewalk in black sneakers. The subtitles read: "It's been nothing but stuff like this since I came to this town."

Image 2: A young man with their hair split into two colors: black on the right and white on the left in a light colored hoodie. One eye is also lighter than another. They are somber, their head down as they walk away from a group in close contact, their arms around each other's shoulders. The background is a black to blue gradient and the characters are in grayscale.

Image 3: Subtitles cropped from a show. They read: "The human body is a lot warmer than I thought."

End ID.

If everyone has a bucket of affection that they share to all their loved ones in cups and bowls, imagine just how full and unusued Yeonwoon's bucket is.

Imagine how he suddenly has someone who cares about him.

Imagine how he's subconsciously focusing on that one person and pouring his entire bucket over the person's head.

Because if I was Myungha and the self-hating recluse started looking at me funny as his affection counter went up from 0 to 5 to 17, etc, I would also freak out.

I would also have nightmares about it.

[myymi]

“and while he loves the affection so so much ALL of them doing it in his love language is suspicious. but he doesn't want to say anything because he doesn't want them to stop but he also doesn't want them to think they have to do that,,,”

YOURE A GENIUS

Imagine tails feeling guilty and like they’re forcing themself to do it because he accidentally let it slip that he wanted them too. And because sonic, shadow and knuckles are quite touch avoidant and even Amy who is usually quite affection is more about words of affection rather than touch. So whenever they start to do it tails starts to pull away or makes up an excuse to leave.

And it devastates tails because he’s been longing for this for so long but he feels guilty because he feels like they’re making themselves uncomfortable just to make him happy

Of course all four of them are probably quick to shut it down

YEAHHH YEAH YEAH YEAH

he starts keeping an eye out for them and when they start giving cues they're gonna nuzzle him he suddenly has to go build a bomb for the next fight or something..

so the pincushions end up cornering him one day and it's just a big nuzzle pile. tails has no choice but to get nuzzled by his big siblings, they don't care how many guns he needs to build

they're a little worried that they're being too pushy and so tails timidly explains why he's been avoiding them,, it's not because the sudden touching is overwhelming-well it is overwhelming, but in the best way possible-it's because he feels bad. like, they're doing something they don't want to just to make him happy

but they DO want to. they want to show this kid they love him so so so much no matter how they have to. and if that gives them an excuse to snuggle their softest brother then that's just a bonus

Do you think Chuuya, when he first got around to using his ability, had to discover certain aspects. Do you think, whenever someone shoots or throws something at him, he is brought back to those first moments of no no nodon’thurtmepleasejuststop. When he first discovered, as a homeless child with little memories, that those who tried to hurt him from afar, weren’t able to. Do you think that when he realized this, he started jumping in front of other sheep members. So that when the projectiles soared through the air towards them, the only casualty was a bit of fear. Do you think, Chuuya, just from habit, always put himself in front of others to shield them. Even if they can protect themselves, even if the situation doesn’t need it and that shielding makes the situation worse.
