#it's cursed in the cutest most wholesome way hahaha

[parkissat]

Yeah... o-okay

I'm in the "I'm at work when it's midnight in finland" team so I have to be careful while looking at my phone during that time of the day lmao. So just out of curiosity, regardless of if you're subscribed or you just watch the chaos here in the tag,

[tearfullypink]

what are your headcanons for the "Staniel" dynamic, or even just Daniel as a person

oooo a good one!

i see Daniel as pretty chill! but also very anxious person, so he hardly really says anything. He just hangs in the background of most conversations, bc a mix of anxiety + not rlly having anything to contribute is...oof. He sees himself as reclusive and dorky, but others see him as really fucking cool. He has no idea why. (Spoiler: it's bc he's a nice dude)

he's good friends with Patricia! She's a bit more talkative and open than him, but they make Such a good contrast. He really comes out of his shell when she encourages him, and he can help her settle and talk about Feelings™. He's really fucking funny when he does talk; he's a bit sarcastic, but never mean.

he doesn't really like school? Like, it's doable, but it can be exhausting. Connie helps him a bunch, and Patricia encourages him if he needs it, but he stresses out a lotttt. Has complicated feelings abt his mom since 90% of his stress comes from her, but he's...fine. mostly

(Aditionally: Daniel's mom felt comfortable scolding Daniel about his test in front of Patricia! But she still let him go to the skating rink. I think the mom was like "you're in so much trouble. BUT, Patricia is a sweetheart and she's been waiting to hang out. so you can do it, but we're going to have a talk later!" Im just gonna see this as her knowing Patricia also)  

As for Staniel, theyre dynamic is just! guys who kiss and talk a lot!  I don't think theyd ever get into a full on domestic relationship (lol im a die hard connverse fan oops) but I can see them fucking around. ie. staying up really late, inviting Connie and Patricia to eat McDonalds at 3 AM, just chilling in Steven's car while they drive around, laughing at the dumbest shit ever, general friend things. except they like. kiss and do gay things

I don't think theyd label themselves as a couple, bc thatd just...be very stressful for both of them. (Steven would be worried abt throwing himself into a relationship, Daniel would still be stressed with school and like. his mom. she knows he's gay but she doesn't want him getting into a relationship until after college, so he's just like...oops)

So their relationship is just them unwinding around each other, sometimes through kissing, sometimes through laughing, sometimes through just blaring music and driving reallllyyy fast

Daniel fucking Hates Steven's jokes bc they're literally so terrible. But also he hates them bc he finds them funny, and he's 100% sure Steven lowered his sense of humor. (He doesn't mind tho, he likes when he can stop Steven midjoke with a kiss. And then nudge him like "please shut up" while Steven laughs) 

Steven thinks Daniel is like, the cutest boy ever so he was just 👉👈 around him for a bit. When they start...dating (?) that stops, and he's..not exactly flirty? Just more like "you're so handsome" while they're kissing, giving him compliments bc he's like. this isn't a relationship but goddamn im romance starved. He likes it when he can catch Daniel off guard and get him flustered.

Daniel also thinks Steven is really cute! He doesn't say it, but he thinks it's kind of cute that Steven is a bit shorter than him.  He has the Smoosh Steven's Cheeks syndrome, where he can't resist holding Steven's face and squishing his cheeks until Steven whines that it hurts. He's intimidated but also into that the fact that Steven could break him like a twig, but is generally just...super gentle (with hugging, holding hands, kissing, literally everything)

But other than a few romantic elements, theyre basically homies. I just see them talking abt Slightly deep stuff but not going the full way, I see them distracting each other from stressful families.....

Extras: Daniel finds Steven a Subway coupon on the street and is like "ayyeee date night".

Steven sends Daniel cat videos at 3 am with "Look :)" as the only caption. He might have insomnia.

Daniel sends cursed memes, Steven sends wholesome(?) memes

Steven clickbaits a YouTube video with "meet my boyfriend!". the whole video has nothing to do with with their relationship. Connie and Patricia are there

Daniel likes it when Steven reads to him....he's like "dude this is asmr" and then he passes out cold bc. Nice voice + cuddling with a warm body = sleepy times

Steven really likes Daniel's hands. Usually, he dwarfs everyones hand, but Daniel is gangly enough that his hands are a bit bigger. But they're still thin and that's cute also. It's not gay to admire ur homies hands hahaha

Daniel likes Steven dorky ass laugh (you know the one) and Steven likes Daniel's giggle snorts. Daniel kinda hates the cute laugh he has so he tries to suppress it, but he slips up

They just value each other as friends who have small crushes on each other :D
