#nightmare before christmas headcanon

[disneynerdpumpkin]

hc that Easter Bunny and Behemoth post-movie are just best friends.

Easter Bunny was scared of him at first but then found he was a very kind and gentle person, and not scary at all. Behemoth being the "gentle giant" type and the two of them just hanging out and having their own little adventures They just have a very cute friendship 🥰❤️

Oh and yeah Behemoth is very protective of Bunny

that's it. that's the headcanon.

P.S. this is the adorable fanfic that inspired this hc. I'm literally obsessed with their friendship A Bunny in Halloween Town - CatCrescent - The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) [Archive of Our Own]

A JP user had noticed that when you reverse the image of the new twst character, it looks like Jack's mouth.

Do y'all see it? SUCH A GENIUS DESIGN.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Lost in The Book: Over The Spiral Hill

{1} {2}

-

“ “Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move;Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love.” “ You quote as Jack sang opera to your group, the earlier events of discussing music and dances for the festivities. 

Riddle comments at the words, “I never thought’d you’d be imitating Rook on this… Event.” The dorm head mumbles. You grin at the red-head. “He wishes, the song reminded me of a playwright in our world.” You gesture to Yuu. 

“ “Just because I can’t see it, doesn’t mean I don’t believe it.” “ You say the phrase easily, recalling it for this occasion. “That wasn’t from the playwright though… Still a good quote though, you think?” You ask your group, turning away from them. 

…

You felt your face become warm at the line, embarrassed.

-

“Yuu! Grim, Skully!” You happily show off the different details your outfit held. Reminding you of home, hints of Ramshackle hinted in a few stitches.

“Oh yeah, I didn’t realize your’s was a bit stranger than ours.” Grim says, circling around you curiously. 

“It looks good!” Yuu replied, keeping close to you, you laugh.

“It’s very beautiful!” Skully compliments as you blink. An idea forming into your head..

“Hmm, Yuu, I wanted to ask. Do you remember any holidays from ‘Home’?” You ask carefully, knowing the answer. You pick up Grim, watching the other human ponder.

Yuu eyes you back, eyes glazed over thoughtfully. “No, not as much as you.”

“Oh? What do you mean?” Skully joins in, listening attentively.

“They’re not from Twisted Wonderland!” Grim pipes up. “Grim, shush!” Yuu scolds, while you hand the fur-ball to them. Skully’s lips part slightly, shocked a bit.

“T-Then.. Where is it are you two from?”

Yuu shrugs, clearly not as comfortable as you were about ‘Home’.

“Uh- Let’s say, very far.”

“Worlds away-” Grim is interrupted by Yuu shoving their face his fluffy neck. “OI! Yuu! Quit it!” Grim swats at their hair as you take Skully’s attention away. Linking hands with his as the four of you walk.

“I wanted to say before, that our holidays are sorta the same and different. A few don’t even exist here.”

“Don’t bring up Chr- ACK! AGAIN?! Stop!” Grim whines at Yuu’s affectionate gesture.

“What is “Chr”?” 

“Oh- That’s a holiday from where from and it’s called-”

You pause. “Let’s say, it’s kinda like… “The opposite”, or more of.. Colorful, cold. Instead of pumpkins and autumn leaves. We have snow, depending on the region, along with carols instead of spooky-sweet melodies!” You wink.

“Instead of a “Pumpkin King” we have this guy called S-.”

Interrupted once more by Grim’s whines, you roll your eyes playfully. “There’s another one too, where we celebrate those who are…” You summarize the best you can. Smiling sadly, “it’s paying tribute to those we miss. To keep them remembered.”

You go on to another holiday, something along the lines of a rabbit and marshmallow birds…

Skully remains quiet, intaking all the knowledge you gave to him. The memories held within your mind, wishing to be shared. Just as precious as Halloween was to him.

Resolved settled within him as they walked further down the path to Jack’s house.

-

After the fiasco with Skully and the Oogie-Boogie squad, Jack had awoken from his slumber while Skully apologized. 

Halloween was back on!

Music played all around town, joining in on the merriment without a care.

Dancing with everyone, you twirl around with different dance partners. Grim, the fluffy beast, tried his best with taking lead with the waltz.

Settling down, you find one of the stray flowers beside you. Plucking it without much thought, pinching at the petals as you stop at a familiar voice.

Tossing the flower away, you readily take Skully’s hand. 

-

Flowers in hand, you walk back to Ramshackle. The graves greeting you as the wind slowly becomes small wisps. A book held tightly in hand, purchased immediately before everyone left Foothill Town. A melody humming on your lips, adorn in a familiar costume you commissioned Vil and Crewel for earlier. Vil even looked… Pleased at the flimsy sketch, seeing the vision easily. As it reminded him of something lost to him. Yuu and Grim follow a few steps away.

Grim held a can of tuna while Yuu carried a  small basket of candies. 

Ramshackle, alight with decorations of purple and green tinsel, along with Diasomnia’s own decor. 

Kneeling by a few unnamed graves, the three of you place the items down. Heading back inside for the rest of the Halloween party.

The ghosts greet you three excitedly, as your guests a few doormates chatter and relax. 

Letting your frown fade, you smile, hands craving over the edges of the portrait that laid above the unlit fireplace. The mantle covered in small decorations of colored skulls, candles and candies. The familiar pumpkin-colored eyes roaming down from above you and your guests.

More Jack Skellington and Ghost Child! Reader

Request: Another jack Skellington father figure headcanons please

A/N: Continuing the canon that was established here

One of your little found family's favourite things to do together was read a book at night. It was the only thing that could guarantee everyday to pull Jack from his planning from next Halloween.

The bedtime routine had become your favourite, even though you didn't really need sleep. It was a mere formality seeing as you were literally dead.

Sally would help you pick out a book from the many shelves Jack had, a lot of them were gruesome but that's what comes from living in Halloweentown.

You always made yourself corporeal for this, snuggling up beside Sally on the bed and waiting for Jack to join. And he always did too, he was never late.

Sitting between the two adult ghouls, you flipped the pages while they read the words. Reading had never been a skill you'd picked up on before, but you liked listening to them read, feeling the warmth of them on either side of you. Which was funny seeing as none of you were actually alive so there should be no warmth.

And even though you really didn't need sleep, the routine always ended with you falling asleep, being tucked in by Jack and Sally and affectionate tucking in taking place

That was the best part of having a corporeal body, you could feel the warmth of the blanket and the gentle strokes of comfort from your adoptive parents

"Can I hold your hand?" You asked nervously

You and Jack had agreed to go on a special mission for Sally, she needed things for making her special brews and for other hobbies she took part in. She had said it was a good way to get Jack out of the house.

Jack looked down at you, your nervous form flickered between the usual transparent to the corporeal form. You had never liked the hustle and bustle of the main part of Halloweentown.

He held his hand out for you to grasp, and you did. It always struck him when he held your hand how small it was compared to his. Your small child hands looked even smaller in his bony fingers.

"You sure you're going to be alright?" He gently prodded. He had promised if you didn't feel up to it, the two of you could always try again another day.

"Yeah, I'll be fine dad."

If he had a heart, it would've surely skipped a beat at those words. Being called dad was not something he ever thought would make him feel so proud. It was a greater accomplishment even than his Halloweens.

"I know you will."

"Fetch Zero!" You tossed one of Jack's bones down the graveyard for the ghost dog to catch.

He barked excitedly as he floated as fast as he could to catch it, bringing it back in record speed. You tossed it again, this time harder and further.

The dog scurried off to retrieve the bone and you waited for him to return. It was strange to be here after staying at Jack's home for so long. You didn't miss being all alone out here, but sometimes you did miss the simplicity of it.

You were lifted into the air before you could dwell on the thoughts further, Jack had snuck up behind you and he set you on his shoulders. There was nothing better than being "on top of the world".

"There you are! I've been looking all over for you."

"Zero wanted to play fetch." As you said this, the dog in question raced back bone in mouth and Jack took it from him, connecting it to himself once more.

"It's time to come inside, your bedtime routine starts soon."

You kicked your legs in contentment as he walked back up the path to Halloweentown. Zero zoomed around at Jack's feet, following the two of you home.

You glanced back at the graveyard, one might think it was longingly but in reality, you didn't miss it as much as you thought.

Santa Claus from The Nightmare Before Christmas is an Avatar of the End.

[twstyuna]

I like to think that Skully's UM turns people into Jack-o-lanterns immediately because he's 16 he's still developing it.

I like to think it gets more horrifying when he's older, and it's more developed. Maybe it turns people into pumpkins slowly, for the sheer fear factor of it. Feet turning into roots and the rest bursting into vines and tough skin and swelling up until you're a pumpkin. Coraline movie other-father kind of thing.

I like to think that if he tried and blew out the light in the jack-o-lantern, it could do anything from weakness/magic loss to fatality.

I like to think the area around him would go dark, or that whoever it's cast upon would get a little blinded, because Scary Night , and leave them to watch in terror as they see themselves (see easily, because of the pumpkin's orange, because of the light), how they twist and turn into grotesque pumpkin people before becoming jack-o-lanterns.

Basically progression to more fearful execution over time.

In The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington goes through the Christmas door, discovers Christmas Town and becomes Santa.

What if instead Jack went through the Trans Day of Visibility Door, discovered estrogen and became a woman?

(Just joking. Jack Skellington was always a woman even if she didn't realize it yet.)

Caregivers! Jack and Sally 🖤🪡

for Aurora from @auroras-and-sad-prosee

Despite being from Halloweentown, they're really warm and welcoming. They love having you around and showing you all the not too scary parts of their world

While Jack is the more adventurous and mischievous one, Sally's a very sweet and gentle caregiver. Sometimes you can get her to join in on whatever you and Jack got into that day, but she's content to just watch and make sure you don't do anything too dangerous

They both love learning about you! They want to make sure they do what's right for you on your terms. Whether you want them to do more, or to just be there, they care about you. And your interests too! They're supportive of pretty much everything and will try to engage in them with you whenever they can

Jack loves learning all the human traditions and things you enjoy from your world. And after realizing what Christmas was and what you celebrate during that season, he and Sally celebrate them with you. He takes holidays are taken very seriously after all

"What's that? Oh, you want us to celebrate with you this year? Aw, my dear, of course we will! I would be honored."

Walks through the woods, the graveyard, the rain, pretty much whenever. There's always something to check out somewhere.

Speaking of which, Jack's endlessly trying out new experiments or projects with you. Sometimes it results in something exploding, but usually it's just harmless fun

Hand sewn blankets to make sure you don't get too cold, and plushies of your favorite creatures to keep you company when they're not around

Sally is very patient with your emotions. Even if they're really difficult to process at the moment. She understands that it's hard and encourages you to express them, reminding you that it's okay and you're safe

She's pretty much the embodiment of "Mom." And she doesn't mind that

Jack's the same way. He's better at words and making sure you're alright while Sally's better at figuring out how to help you and helping you through them in general. He still tries though, even if it takes him some time at first.

Soft stories and lullabies to help you fall asleep. It almost always ends up in either one of the two's arms

[tnbc-thoughtsandheadcanons]

Disney Magic Kingdoms giving me more headcanons here, but - I *love* the idea of ‘Halloween gifts’! What if that's how Halloween Town gave each other presents before Christmas? They’d traditionally give each other gifts on Halloween....
