i have a headcanon that tango and jimmy have tk be careful not to spend to much consecutive time together because if they do, jimmy could get a sunburn. the only time they can be together for hours is when they’re sleeping because then tango’s flames are calm and low enough to not hurt jimmy

Thanks, it hurts, I hate it

I'm revoking your ability to create new headcanons and I'm taking away your Rancher dolls until you learn how to treat them nicely again 😤

doc definitely hates grian. well, ok, not hate hate, but the amount of chaos that pesky bird causes is enough to get doc close to literally exploding at times.

he never has, though. because he doesn’t want to destroy his or anyone else’s builds, of course! not because he doesn’t want to accidentally kill grian!

sure, the avian can be cute sometimes, and sure, he has an amazing voice, and sure, sometimes doc will think about grian when he’s building contraptions with visible switches and when he’s harvesting his farm and when he’s having conversations with the other hermits — but that doesn’t mean anything!

it doesn’t mean anything…

Doc knows he's started thinking of Grian as he's building. Wanting the guy around all the time, wanting to see his approval, watch him go for the obvious bait Doc has left just to spend more time in his orbit...

Ugh. Maybe he has a problem. A problem with wings that likes to cause trouble just to see what will happen.

Stupid bird...

I was super nervous at the idea of doing this cause I didn't want to spoil anything, but I managed to just write a sentence that seems pretty un-spoilery XD "What?” Tango had asked, instantly nervous." - Six words

Grian’s never been on a date with Scar. He wants to, believe him, and Scar’s asked a couple times; he just can’t bring himself to accept. Martyn says he’s being a coward. Joel and Lizzie keep teasing him about it. But he just can’t accept. He can’t let Scar know how he feels — even though it’s fairly obvious at this point how Scar feels.

The amount of flowers Scar’s given Grian — whether in big bouquets or one at a time — is honestly insane. He’s tried keeping them all, hidden away in a secret room, but they always die eventually. It’s hard for him to keep potted plants, let alone plants that have been picked.

He thinks Scar’s realised he has a preference for poppies and lilacs. He’s been giving more of those recently.

Maybe next time he’s asked, he’ll accept a date. He hopes so.

Grian has a lot of... things to work out. He doesn't want to force Scar to deal with them, as much as he wants to give it a try. Scar deserves better than that. But he also deserves better than spending so much time and effort chasing somebody too scared to say yes.

A pitiful part of him looks at the flowers he can never keep alive, and thinks about how Scar would know how to take care of them. He thinks about picking flowers with Scar, or lying amongst them in the sun.

Maybe... Maybe Grian doesn't have to be perfect. Maybe he'll be enough for Scar anyway.

scar’s never seen a creature so beautiful.

the beings on this planet are all humanoid versions of birds he’s seen back on earth. owls, bluebirds, bluejays, seagulls, any bird you can name.

but this one. this one is the red and yellow and blue of a scarlet macaw. and he’s absolutely beautiful.

he sounds beautiful, too, with an incredible singing voice. scar loves being able to listen to him sing, maybe playing one of the instruments he’s brough along from earth with him.

after some time, he learns that this scarlet macaw alien (well, technically, scar’s the alien here) is named grian.

Scar's always learnt to be respectful of different planets and their cultures. Sure, he's here to trade, but the incident with that race of rhinoceros-like people has taught him that maybe upsetting his trade-partners is a bad idea.

He doesn't stay at places too long. There's always new planets to discover, and the market moves fast. But... He's lingering. He knows he is. He's running out of excuses why he hasn't left yet, but he refuses to confront that he's just staying for Grian.

He's fun - mischievous at times - and has been for some reason helping Scar sell things. The language barrier is a little difficult, even with his translator. There's a lot of very hard to replicate sounds! But Grian has been filling in the gaps, and Scar's made so many sales he's nearly out of stock.

He stays longer, then a bit longer too, before finally breaking the news to Grian that he needs to leave. Grian ruffles his wings and smiles, asking in that sing-song voice, where are we heading to?

Was it really this easy the entire time...

pearl had never been more heartbroken than when cleo died. for months, she wouldn’t leave her house or talk to anyone. she rarely even ate. then one day, after a particularly rainy night, she wakes up to find muddy footprints leading from the door to a pair of shoes, haphazardly taken off and dropped to the floor. it’s as she’s looking at them that she finally registers the smell of food and sound of someone moving throughout the kitchen

The first thing Pearl does to a newly revived Cleo is hit her over the head.

Perhaps not the best way to react, but what else are you supposed to do when your dead wife is cooking in the kitchen? The food, at least, is lovely. And they don't burn the house down. But that doesn't change the fact Pearl's dead wife is eating at the table with her. Nor the silence between them.

Cleo - can Pearl even call her that - is still... Cleo. Just more dead. She answers all of Pearl's questions with her usual dry humour, still knows their home perfectly. She can tell Pearl about things in the cupboards that even Pearl's forgotten.

Pearl, though? Pearl thinks she's going to take a long nap. And deal with this in the morning.

Cleo's hands are cold as she tucks Pearl in. Her lips colder as she kisses Pearl's head. But it still feels the same. It still feels the same.

When Mumbo awoke in a place that most definitely wasn’t his fancy bedroom, he didn’t know what to think. He’d always wanted to get away from the stifling propriety that came with being his parents’ son, but he hadn’t expected his first chance at it to be on the sea.

The first people he meets on this ship is the captain (a heavily scarred man with a cane) and his first mate (a man in red carrying a colorful parrot on his shoulder).

They say he’d been taken for ransom, as their crew was getting unfortunately “low” on money. A couple days after he woke up, though, they still hadn’t heard anything.

They decided to give him a proper tour of the ship. He was quickly welcomed by the crew once the found out how good he was with machines, though Scar and Grian seem to forever be the most fond of him.

It takes a while, but Mumbo eventually realized the two have been making advances on him for a while. He happily plays along, returning their flirtatious remarks.

He'd struggled to adjust at first. The captain would slap his back and say he just needed to find his sea legs. Mumbo just needed the ground to stop moving.

Then there was the hurt. He found his position overwhelming, yes. He'd hated the pressure, the future decided for him. But he didn't expect his parents simply... Wouldn't care. He thought they still cared. He may not have loved his life, but he thought his parents still loved him.

He thinks that's part of what endeared him to Grian and Scar. He was a bit pathetic about it all. He thinks he's allowed to be a bit pathetic about it. Besides, it's not like he wanted to have a breakdown on a pirate ship in the middle of the ocean! It's not like he expected his parents would care this little about him!

He's proud of his work for the crew. Scar often tells him that he's probably made far more than what the ransom was for. Grian is just glad they don't have to go all the way to shore everytime something breaks.

They make a good trio, the three of them. Mumbo fits perfectly between Scar and Grian - whether that's stood on deck or in bed together.
