pls I beg, tell us everything you have about bull!Alhaitham...

Oh boy, you sure wanna open to flood gates,huh.

Well, I think I did ramble on my initial Bullhaitham post about a lot of things, but basically, they're not all that different from their human selves. I took a book out of Tighnari's book and just hc them as having more enhanced senses but I do want this AU to have them inherit SOME animal characteristics, but not like, in an uncontrollable capacity.

As for Alhaitham, for example. I like to use his ears and tail as more honest/open conveyers of his emotions. We all know that Alhaitham is very good at controlling how he appears to people, and I do believe that extends to his animal features as well. But in a comfortable environment, I think he'd not be as guarded, so his ears and tail get to wiggle! You know, how cows/bulls often flick their tails or ears when sth tickles or bothers them (like flies)? Alhaitham does that too, and since his ears are rather sensitive, they do tend to flick a lot. His tail, on the other hand, Id see as his "excess energy outlet", aka if he has some form of restlessness, be that bcs of agitation or excitement, he shows it through tail movement.

Again, I see them more as human than animal, but I like to think they have times where the threshold for their instincts to kick in is lowered. Imagine the kinky "mating season" trope, but instead of horniness it's just them acting more on their instincts. This includes stuff like Kaveh being more prone to pounce or Alhaitham sometimes tackling people when they get to fidgety. (you know, how in bull fighting they wave the flag around and the movement makes them charge)

I just find the context funny of Alhaitham and Kaveh becoming so accustomed that sometimes their roomate WILL attack them. They also develop "safe proof" ways to calm the other again. Alhaitham just has to make sure not to bear his neck or leave his back exposed, or, if Kaveh does pounce, he just has to forcefully relax him with kneading his ears or chin scratches or sth. Kaveh got the shorter end of the stick cos, while it takes a lot to make Alhaitham charge, it does happen, and if it does, all Kaveh can do is run and dodge bcs that bull will not stop until you've been run over. And Alhaitham might be Kaveh's height, but the bulk coupled with his speed is sure to break a few ribs. Kaveh's tactic is usually to dodge until Alhaitham staggers, literally latch onto him in a full body hold, and frantically start scratchin at the base of his ears or the base of his horns. When he stops lowdly huffing and puffing, Kaveh knows Alhaitham is back to normal.

There's also some funny ideas I've had, like, as much as they hate it, they're like the perfect comforter for each other. Alhaitham likes to knead his hands through things as he reads, and Kaveh's ears are just the right texture between fluffy and tough, and ofc that makes Kaveh happy bcs, hey, free ear massage. In turn, that makes Kaveh purr and if he's sprawled over Alhaitham's lap he's literally a heated and massaging weight blanket, which makes Alhaitham enjoy his leisurely reading time more.

The other side of funny: Alhaitham definitely accidentally broke Kaveh's kneecaps before, bcs he touched Alhaitham's neck and he instinctively kicked out.

Well, that's all that comes from the top of my head, haha. Hope it was some fun food for thought!

Burnt Muffins & Bad Choices - STH Roomates AU!

Anything in this Roomates AU!, you will find under my hashtag #roomates au main story

This story I wrote about a year ago, I might change it up a bit later-

-

"YO SANIC!!! WHERE'S THE OVEN MITT?!" Silver runs around the dorm to get to the oven before the couple of muffins they made burn.

"Over there, on the counter." Sonic says nonchalantly and points at the glove, with his feet up on the coffee table, leaning back some.

"DANG IT, SONIC! GET UP OFF YOUR LAZY ARSE AND HELP ME OUT FOR A CHANGE!!" Silver yells and makes Sonic jump a little before he groans and stretches out.

"Fine, but only because you asked so nicely." Sonic says sarcastically before rolling his eyes. "Why are you making muffins anyway?"

"Did you listen at all? Amy and Blaze are coming back from their girls vacation in one hour and Blaze is going to kill me if we don't get these done in time!" Silver runs around the kitchen and takes out the burnt muffins.

"What are we making these for anyways?" Sonic asks and Silver groans.

"Seriously, do you ever listen? We need to make them for the bake sale that we all have to pitch in for. Amy and Blaze already made their fair share of muffins and they are just waiting for us at this point to make ours because I promised Blaze that I would make the other half so it wouldn't be just them making one hundred muffins alone!"

"Well, why don't we use one of Tails's inventions he made before he went his own way to the smart college?" Sonic asks and speeds to his room area.

"What invention?" Silver asks and looks to see Sonic now holding a big bag.

"This." Sonic takes a little dial out of a bag of things and smirks as he goes to connect it to the oven. Tails has been working on some new baking technology to start a business and decided now, when the muffins are being cooked for the bake sale, that he would start it.

"Sonic, was that tested?"

"I mean, I think so. I don't think Tails would just send a prototype or something to me without testing it... or would he? Well, let's test it out and see anyways!"

"SONIC NO—"

The oven explodes and the whole kitchen air bursts into flames! Now, what they should've done was look around the kitchen for the fire extinguisher that is right in the closet or maybe use the water from the sink, but what would be the logic in that. Sonic starts blowing on the fire and Silver starts fanning it with a towel.

"WHY WOULD TAILS SEND THIS WITH ME?!"

"IT WASN'T HIS FAULT, ON THE THING IT SAID IT WAS A PROTOTYPE AND TO NOT CONNECT IT TO SOMETHING METAL!!! Wait... what was the thing supposed to do anyways?"

"It was supposed to make something go faster, and I was thinking like 'oh, this would be so useful in this situation!' So I grab it and stick it to the thing."

"Nice logic, Sanic. Now we're stuck in a bad situation. Blaze is going to kill both of us! I'm more worried about me, but you too."

"Gee thanks, Silver."

"But seriously, Blaze is going to beat the living daylights out of the both of us. How are we supposed to get ourselves out of this one?" Silver shakes his head as he looks around at the mess they both made. There is muffin batter splattered across all of the walls of their small living space. Metal pots and pans are scattered all along the floor and there isn't a hint of anything that looks like it's in tact, including the muffins they should've had made already at this point and time into the day. Sonic sighs and sits down on the couch. The couch falls apart and he falls onto his butt and sighs even louder as he goes to sit on the coffee table, which randomly explodes into a bunch of pieces.

"GAHH WHAT THE HECK?!" He yells, angered and confused.

"Okay let's not panic... we have time before they get—" Silver starts before he hears the doorknob click.

"Oh brother..."
