YEESSS!! R promises to protect him!! And even if he's more than capable of defending himself, Hobie deserves someone who's willing to fight for him! 😭❤ 💜🥰💜

Minotaur!Hobie but he's cursed in a similar way to Sophie from Howl's Moving Caslte: The more he feels like a monster the more he looks like one! But his appearance also changes the more human he feels!

Hobie and R not being aware of the curse (both because Hobie's felt like a monster his whole life and because he doesn't feel the change when it happens)

R finds out about the curse when they walk in on Hobie sleeping, being startled by the normal (and very handsome) human sleeping in his bed.

R just stares at Hobie's peaceful form as they put two and two together

Eventually Hobie starts to wake up, and reverts back to the form of the minotaur

Hobie asking R why they're looking at him like that (he's used to people looking at him weird all his life, but never with the sense of awe and surprise R currently has on their face)

R, who decides not to tell Hobie yet, not wanting to possibly upset him or make him think they're lying

R, who keeps trying to sneak glimpses of Hobie as he sleeps, hoping he'll one day feel as peaceful while he's awake as he does in his sleep

R, who loves Hobie no matter how he looks, but figures the curse is affected by Hobie's own self perception and hoping he'll one day view himself as they view him

R, who notices Hobie's more monstrous parts fade away over time as he spends more time around them

R, who can't help but cry tears of joy as Hobie wakes up next to them one day and remains the same as he did in his sleep, still not knowing about the curse and asking why R is crying as they pull him in to a hug

Hobie, who had always loved R but now finally learns to love himself and view himself as someone who can be loved by spending time with R <3

Oooohh I love that!!! Also very sad 😭

The way he slowly thinks of himself as a human being and not a monster while with r has me in real tears and the last sentence made me bawl my eyes out 😭😭😭😭😭 how in the world does this au keep getting sadder and sadder?! 😭

#<<< im contemplating whether it should be with demigod r or siren r 🤔#any thoughts on which one i should go with?#<- Prev #ohhhh both are good!#they both have such good potential #the symbolism of R being a demigod- someone trained and sent on quests to kill monsters-#only for R to end up falling in love with a 'monster' and swearing to protect him <3 #maybe R is the first person who's able to actually match Hobie's strength in combat?#and Hobie falls for R after they beat him in a fight? (of course he won't admit that to R or even himself at first lol)#but also siren R who's much weaker than Hobie but still isn't scared of him-#promising to protect and fight for Hobie even though they aren't as strong as him #Siren R who's also viewed as a monster by humans and who helps Hobie realise that it isn't how you look that counts #(Hobie thinking humans must be crazy if they think someone as gorgeous and kind as R could ever be a monster)#lol so many ideas- so much potential!#(you don't have to go with any of this I'm just writing what comes to mind when I think of the two scenarios <3)#minotaur hobie #hobie brown #spider punk #long post
