Dealing with Sickness Headcanons

Ok - with @asirensrage’s post prompting, I was thinking about how my favorites would handle sickness. I know my favorites are not really many other’s favorites, but it’s what lives in my brain and they're who I know the best. So that said here's how I think the main cast of Diving would handle somebody they love being sick, done in a quiz answer format, cause why not.

(Sorry it's a bit late - weekends are not the best for finding writing time.)

Hayden - She'll be attentive, and if you ask for anything, you got it. But you'll have to instruct. She’s bad at making sure she’s taking care of herself sometimes, so aside from blatantly obvious sick care items, stuff may go unnoticed until there’s a cue to suggest otherwise. That said, cues can be read very well, and you won’t have to worry about needing too much after enough observation time. If all things you would need are taken care of, she'd just be at your side, trying her best to make you smile. Expect extra cuddling, and snuggly warm things. Music is a must. Games are most likely coming out.

Glen - You would not need to get up for anything. He'll have already observed your favorite type of everything prior, and once basics are taken care of, you'll get as many stories to fill the space as you could ask for. Paintings if you're up for it. Reading books outloud if you would prefer not doing much. He'll try to lighten the mood with jokes and humor, but you can tell there's care behind it all. Comfort food, comfort items. He’ll make sure it’s all there. The house may be a mess to clean after though, his priority is going to be getting you better and being there for you, not cleaning up. He'll help with that later.

Nick - This is your best attendant of the lot by leagues. He is caring. Compassionate. Will be there with soothing gestures and comfort items. You do not need to do anything. Peaceful caresses and nurturing to the extreme. He's got you. While you're sleeping, he will do everything you'd need done, and you'll have a fresh start once you get up. Clean house, no to-do lists, just pick up where you left off and take it easy. 11/10 this is probably who you’d want to take care of you.

Steph - You will be lavished with all the typical care items, but in a very awkward manner. 'Oh soup! Soup is good. Hold on. But broth soup right? Is there chicken? Do you like chicken? Or just plain broth? Or maybe you don't like soup! Shit. Would you want soup?' … Give her a direction, and you'll be good. Even still, you'll probably end up reassuring her just as much as she does for you. Her heart is in the right place, though, and she will be set on trying to improve your mood. If you play videos games, she'll have a distraction setup ready to go.

Harold - Harold is observant, and devoted when it's somebody he cares for. Just hard to get into that inner circle. But he would make getting you everything you need his priority. Anything. Anything you ask for, you got it. And if people are bothering you, or could potentially bother you, he is chasing them away. You need to rest and to get better; they can deal with whatever they need themselves. He would also read to you bedside, something he wrote most like, until you drifted off. Before you’re asleep, he’s already planning out what all needs done before you wake up, and much like Nick, you would not have to worry about taking care of anything. It is still Harold though, so watch for prickly spots; regardless of sick levels, you hit a nerve and he will react.

Max - On the outside, she is going to be calm and aloof. 'Oh, yeah, water. Check. Can do. Yeah, we got some extra blankets. Hold up, I'll be right back.' But on the inside, she is freaking out. 'What if you get worse? What if this is the start of something they can't fix? Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.' She will be notably absent at times lost in her worry unless you specifically tell her to stay there. Once you're asleep though, she is taking care of everything, staying busy, incapable of staying still. Fuses are short, and while she would not be snippy with you, anybody else had best hope they don’t need shit from her right now.

Lloyd - You will get anything you ask for, but much like Steph, it's going to be kinda weird and you're going to end up reassuring him. 'Oh fuck, you would probably like extra pillows, and how about a movie? Wait, that movie? Fuck yeah, I love that shit! When they're all like *animated reenactments*— Oh, shit I'm yelling. That ain't helping is it, fuck, okay.... Sorry. Oh, I think there’s some— wait, do you want water or something too? You should be drinking. Well, that makes it sound like drinking drink. Not that type of��� Drink. Water. On it.' For as much as his help is scattered or delayed, he would be able to read you really well, though. And he would be an excellent cuddler and fun company. Stay in bed next to you? Fuck yeah! Lazy day.

Flagg - Presumptuous of you to think you're a loved one. But for what it's worth, he'd make sure you get what you need to survive. Somewhat comfortably. Depending on how devoted you are to him, he might actually bring items to you himself instead of just having somebody else do this or leaving them where you could find them. Hell, he might even sit with you and tell anecdotes that he retained in his vague memories. Possibly in a nice manner. Maybe. Or maybe he'll be a fuckhead about it all. Toss a coin. Hey, do you like iced milk? It's fresh. Also, he may handle your to-do list while you're out, but don't ask how; you may not want to know details.

Gwen - She's not the best caretaker as she doesn't know what to typically do, or what tastes the best. Much like Harold, she will be playing gatekeeper, and keeping you in a safe quiet place to recoup. Things can wait, or they can be handled by her directly. Handling things is what she does best. Unlike Harold, she would allow others in if they would help, most likely better than her. But she's going to stand back watching to make sure it's helpful to you, and taking notes if it is. You need food, she'll put in an order. Tea? Do you do things to tea, or is it just a packet and water? Oh I guess you do feel cold, that's not normal is it? Let's fix that. She cares, it's just not her specialty. She's trying.

Teddy - Combination of Nick and Steph and Lloyd. You got a high level of care and attentiveness like Nick. He's going to be task focused as long as it's tasks he's familiar with or aware of. Gotta be clear about this though, he is not the most perseptive of the bunch. Like Steph, there's an awkward nerd wrapped up inside all of this. He'll second guess and fumble sometimes, but in an adorably endearing way. Along with Lloyd, his brain also goes faster than his body sometimes, and he'll lose himself in thoughts only to realize you might not have made that mental journey with him. He will also be insanely stoked about lazy day, feel better movie time. He is here for that.

@/marsipain's cyberpunk ninjago au!!! im sure we all know it okay time to yap if any morro enjoyers remember alll the way back in january 2023 i did something for this au and i think around a couple months ago i was like yk what ill do it again. cause the one back then really was not the vision like i tried my best but i just did not have the skill

LOOK AT THIS??? i did end up ditching the mic but i kept the stickers at least. not sure how i feel about them but they were too iconic to scrap. also the perspective kind of wasnt working out for me i didnt really get the fisheye look i was aiming for but we ball. i actually started the whole thing end of AUGUST and then i completely revamped it look at what i had before

its a vibe lowkey i like it but unfortunately it was again. not the vision wasn’t dramatic enough. i redid it last sunday and worked on it nonstop for days what was i on

One of Shadow Milk’s many prop replicas of himself, left behind. Even though the eyes are forever staring straight into the distance… Oddly enough, you still feel like you’re being watched.

But surely, though, it won’t hurt to take it home and touch up the colours, right? :)
