#shaking skrunkly dogs

[canisalbus]

Every time I think of Machete I either think of a worm on a string or a constantly shaking skrunkly dog and im hoping, begging, that its intentional. Also, as an italian that does get sick very often and is generally sickly (besides the nose bleeds) I can connect better to the catholic guilt dog :3

had the idea for this drawing walking home from class, went “ughhhhhh i guess i have to make this now,” procrastinated for about a week, started it, gave up, picked it back up again, gave up, went to class, got home, and finished it reluctantly. so now it exists i guess!

[Image ID: a digital illustration of two of the artist’s original characters, Xavier and Enny. Xavier is a blonde boy in a purple hoodie. His hair covers his left eye, which is the viewer’s right. Enny is a latina girl with long hair that fades to red at the tips, wearing a floral blue dress and a black vest. Xavier is posed above and behind Enny, with one hand up to the air and the other hand gripping her chin. He smiles down at her maliciously, lit from below so that a shadow falls over his face. Enny is posed with one hand splayed downwards and one hand across her chest, and she snarls up at xavier. Together, their poses make the ‘as above, so below’ symbol. Text in the background also says ‘as above, so below’ in a glitched font, on either side of the page. The background is made of edited clip art- two distorted pairs of wings in blue and black respectively are posed behind the two figures, with the black pair behind Xavier and the blue pair upside down behind Enny. Enny’s clip art wings are obscured by a thick bramble of green chamomile flowers. The rest of the background is a swirling, distorted glitch pattern that fades to black towards the top of the drawing. End ID]

Hi, I still have so many feelings about this, I will never shut up. I also made a gifset out of it because watching the video wasn't enough, i need to memorize every pixel.

(These gifs are free to download & use, they literally took me 5 minutes, so... cheers~)

"It is your job to f-" still haunts me. Also the way light falls on his face exactly when he fumbles is like him getting exposed. Shining a light on his fakery so the others see through it? And then he retreats back into the shadow trying to hide again, but does so only partially? Amazing.

The quick look up at Fang, he's so adorable🥺 i think for a moment there he actually considers admiting something's wrong but backs out of it and right back into defense. The way he freezes at the end sends shivers down my spine. it's so personal to me, Con, staaahp, fr! Also we get the "unhand me" line, or rather [if you touch me now i will start crying and that's embarrassing so don't touch me] That's how i see it.

Now we get to the good shit. Looking up trying not to cry. Avoiding any and all eye contact. His fckn lips shaking. You can clearly see that he's broken by the fact they've even noticed THIS. That expression is like a defeated "oh fuck me". Him being off focus makes this bit even worse.

Actually I was looking at this bit a lot and it almost seems like he doesn't know what Fang is trying to do at first? Like he was defensive because he didn't realise Fang was going in for a hug? Or maybe it's a reflex for anything coming from behind. He's a fighter, after all.

He looks ahead, approximately where Archie and Jim are standing as if to see their reactions or maybe seek help?! But then you can see the moment he understands - he turns his head back towards Fang and leans into it, with a hint of disbelief on his face.

God, the loose strand of hair adds so much to that delicious skrunklyness he has going on. He's so pretty...

In this gif it's clear he's leaning into Fang a lot, even actively pressing his head against him. He could've easily turned away or pulled away, but didn't. He WANTS to be comforted. He WANTS to be held. The way he scans over Frenchie as if checking what he's about to do, I'm suspecting he like. Put a hand on him somewhere or something of the sort. I am so unwell from this-

For the last time he tries to produce words, but it comes out as more of a moan than anything, so he gives up and bites his lip. (im loosing my sanity, Con, what have you done)

Also Frenchie's pout is my H2O He literally went :c

Izzy looks over to Frenchie again as if to verify he's not there to mock him and when it turns out that no. He actually wants to comfort him. Izzy fully looses it and lets out the most gut wrenching puppy dog skrunkly whimper ever produced by a human man. It must mean so much to him... Those last few micro expressions are killing me. He looks up again as if to say "oh god they mean it. They don't think im stupid for this, they're actually taking me seriously" And he can't believe it, he's so dumbfounded that poor guy.

What if this was his first hug in ages? I wouldn't be surprised...

Im breaking my own heart with this why do i do this-

[lollytea]

i honestly see Hunter as a gangly and ragged but slightly muscular dog. one who is soaked in rain and covered in mud and just hobbles to your yard to watch birds. he has a weird nose and is not treated well by life but is by the people who throw a dog bone his way here or there. soft and skrunkly but can also be protective and attempt to be scary.

Exactly. You get it.

He reminds me of those meek downtrodden dogs who'd do anything to have his head rubbed by his owner, even though he starts shaking whenever his owner walks into the room. As much as that dog endures, it's so hard to stomp the love and loyalty out of him. He gives all of his devotion to somebody who only ever gave him the bare minimum. A can of dogfood and a moth eaten couch cushion to sleep on.

He's like a shelter dog. The kind who would have been abandoned on the side of the road and surely would have starved to death waiting for the man who left him there to return, perking up and hopefully wagging his tail every time he hears a car coming, only for it to shoot past.

He's like that kind of dog who goes fucking bananas when you say "Walk?" because he hasn't been in a loving home for very long and now he can't get enough of it. He's thrilled about everything. You squeak his little rubber chicken and he starts running his circles so excitedly, he nearly flies away.

He's like the kind of dog who's content to sit with you on the porch with his head in your lap. You know him well enough to know he'd sit here for hours to keep you company.

He likes it when you rub his head.

You rub his head.

Hi friend! I hope 2023 is treating you well so far, since we’re now one month in already (aaa!) ☺️ I was wondering if you have any Baz headcanons or situations you’d like to share since we are both so fond of that skrunkly little guy

Also- I can’t help but read him as permaregressed but I’m not sure if that was the original author’s intention, what do you think?

thank you friend! i hope you're doing well as well, i can't believe we're already done with january! (and yes, baz is 100% our little skrunkly)

you'll have to forgive my formatting because I'm on mobile

• I've seen Baz sleeping both alone with Izzy in his cabin and in the captain's bed, but I'd also like to think that he has a trundle bed that he can pull out from beneath the captain's bed (sort of like a drawer bed?) where he can cuddle up close just him and bunny, but if he needs he can reach up and grab a hand to hold during the night <3

• I think food would be a challenge for him, not so much eating a healthy amount (though that probably would take some practice getting used to) but just having so many options to choose from and having so many different flavours and textures.

It can be a bit overwhelming, especially when he has to try something that looks weird or yucky or has to make the choice for himself over what he will eat, but it's good for him to practice telling other people what he wants and needs, even if it feels scary sometimes.

• I don't think Baz ever would have learned to swim. Hornigold's attack dog probably wouldn't have much purpose aside from protecting him on one ship and being carted to another to help in raids.

At some point the Revenge Stops over by a lagoon and Stede gives the crew some vacation time. Baz, of course, has never been on vacation. He's never ever had a break before the revenge, and no idea of the concept at all.

When the crew and captains find out that Baz hasn't ever swam before, they're appalled! and thus a beach day is decided, and Baz gets taught how to swim (or really, how to kick his legs and swing his arms enough to float), rotating between hanging onto Ed and Izzy's backs.

• Baz has a tattoo - only one, a spade beneath his eye that he'd begged of Izzy (credit to jaybirbbbb for that i believe) - but he's never given one. He firmly believe's that he is Izzy's, no matter how many times Izzy tries to say that they don't own each other, that Izzy is his too.

Baz doesn't like the look of the needles at all. It was fine when someone was doing it to him, but the idea of sticking someone with a needle over and over makes him a tiny bit queasy.

Instead, he and bunny draw lots and lots of little drawings and helps him find the perfect one for each willing crew mate. Soon everyone has an original tattoo from Baz and bunny.

• one day while onshore with Izzy, Baz spots a real bunny. It was bound to happen eventually, seeing as they frequent a lot of ports near farmland.

They're in the middle of a market when all of a sudden Baz spots it. A tiny white rabbit in a wide enclosed across the square.

Instantly he tugs on Izzy's sleeve, yanking so hard that the ties around his upper arm almost come undone. Izzy turns around once he's finished dealing with the store vendor, looking to Baz expectantly.

Baz is practically jumping up and down on his tippy toes, hands shaking hard enough that Izzy can barely tell what he's trying to sign. 'Bunny.' He signs, his fore and second fingers bent in half at either side of his head. 'Bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny.'

"What's wrong with Bunny?" Izzy asks, point at the little toy squashed in Baz's elbow. "Has your bunny got a tear?"

Baz shakes his head as fast as he can. "Bunny. Look. Bunny. Look. Izzy. Bunny." He points across the square with a shaking hand the very second he's finished signing.

"Yes, that's a bunny." Izzy says.

Baz holds bunny up close to Izzy's face and pints back at the little cages rabbit across the way. "Same."

Izzy nods. "Yes, they're both white."

"Family."

"I don't think they're related, lot's of rabbits look the same." Izzy says, taking Baz's hand. "We have to go, Baz, it's time for dinner."

Baz usually likes doing what Izzy tells him - it's makes him feel good, safe, because he knows he's doing the right thing - but he tugs his hand out of Izzy's grasp. "Bunny." He signs again. "Take."

"We can't take the rabbit." Izzy sighs. "Where would we keep him?"

"Boat."

"The ship isn't safe for a rabbit, he could get hurt very easily."

Baz whines. He knows he shouldn't, he knows he should be doing what Izzy says and following him back to the boat, but he needs to get that bunny. It's in a big scary cage, and it's all scared and too big for the tiny cage and it doesn't want to be there! He knows it.

"Save." He frowns at Izzy, hugging bunny tight to his chest. "Cage."

Izzy sighs. Baz knows that Izzy spent some time with his old master in this world, even if he got away he knows a bit of what it was like for Baz. Baz watched as Izzy's resolve cracks.

"Fine." He snaps, and even though Izzy snapping usually makes Baz feel so scared and worried, he can't help but smile; Izzy is going to save the bunny from it's scary little cage.

Izzy makes him hide around the corner just in case a brawl starts, but Baz sticks his and bunny's heads around the corner anyway. He wants to watch the bunny rabbit get free.

Izzy talks to the vendor, a big scary man with an ever bigger and even scarier sword in his hand, and when that doesn't go the way he wants he ends up taking matters into his own hands. (If he were alone, he would've just kicked the cage over and ran as fast as he could, hoping that the rabbit managed to wriggle out. But he knows Baz is watching him, and more importantly, watching the rabbit, so he doesn't do that.)

Baz watches as Izzy scoops up the cage with the little white rabbit inside and begins to walk off. He holds Bunny as tight to his chest as he can get him.

The man tries to stop Izzy, but he's already undone the latch on the cage and sent the bunny rabbit running off down between the tall thin buildings, and before he even knows it the man his behind Izzy with his sword raised and Izzy is cutting big red lines in the air and Baz has to squeeze his eyes shut tightly so that the sight of it doesn't take him back to somewhere he doesn't want to be.

Soon enough Izzy comes to get him, pale red streaks where he hasn't quite managed to wipe off all the blood on his face. "The rabbit is gone." He says. "It's safe now."

Baz squeals, hopping up and down. "Thank you." He signs. "Thank you. Happy."

"I'm glad." Izzy says, giving Baz one of his rare smiles. "Let's go home, okay?"

(Eventually Baz does get to meet a really bunny. that one will also be white, just like Bunny, and he will he to give him a few soft pets and introduce it to his Bunny teddy before it hops away. Stede says it probably has to go home to it's family, just like Baz will always come back to the revenge.)

• and my love to answer your question! honestly yeah, i kinda read him that way too. Age regression is a legitimate coping strategy as well as a trauma response so it's believable that he would find a lot of comfort in a more relaxed childlike state, and seeing the age that Baz would've been when he met Hornigold, he probably wouldn't have had much time as a proper grown up. I'm not entirely sure if that's what the original author intended, but I've seen a few fics here and there that sort of focus more on the childlike aspect of Baz's behaviour.

I think it would be easier for him to learn all these new things, like making choices and feeling happy and sad and getting comfort and having his needs met like that, where he has a comfort item and so much love going around.

I also think it would just be more enjoyable. There's no need for Baz to be grown up. He spent so much of his life dealing with such raw and intense treatment that would've brought more stress and anxiety than typical adulthood, I don't think he has any use for it. I think he deserves to relive whatever of his past is comforting and to receive that comfort as often as possible.

hnghfjf your ivan the terrible headcanons have me no-clipping thru the floor/pos. i also hc him as a 4chan user who argues w/ people on the internet, and ur idea of him being a smoker who smells like cigarettes is fucking fueling me (in a good way). i don’t really know why i sent this ask, but i just needed to let you know that you are NOT alone in having ivan as a favorite character lmao

I love him he is such a little skrunkly tbh I wanna chew him up like those little wax candy soda bottles and shake him around like a rabid dog with a small animal I didn't like Topher at first but he is also my little srunkle whom I need to put in a headlock and shake around violently

[cynicalmusings]

your poetry was a more-than-worthy sacrifice~. shall i offer up some sickeningly sweet headcanons in return? (all for cyno, bc his hyperbloom damage has been insane lately)

i apologize if i've already said this a billion times, but his hair is so soft. It's probably a benefit of him leaving it down rather than tying it back-- his hair is in immaculate condition, without him even having to try. the only catch is that he is practically asking to get sand stuck in his hair. he does the things dogs do when they get wet, except it's him trying to shake the sand out of his hair and his headdress.

he obviously styles his hair so that it ends up being semi-straight, but i'd like to think that if you catch him after a shower, his hair is a little more wavy and fluffy. it's even better if he's all skrunkly in the morning and wakes up with bedhead!! prime opportunity to brush it out of his face and give him a lil good morning kiss on the forehead <3.

ohhh boy though, imagine he comes back to you after a particularly stressful day, and you're giving him some much-needed attention and care. you just start combing your fingers through his hair, thinking it might help relax him-- and he just melts. you're cuddled up on the couch, with him holding you in his arms, and he just relaxes immediately. you can literally feel him get less tense as you comb out some of the sand and the tangles. it doesn't take long before you realize he's asleep.

anyways do you think he snores like "honk shoo honk shoo" or "hooooonk mi mi mi"

his hair is, without a doubt, some of the softest hair in the world. it’s incredibly fluffy in the mornings, with waves sticking out in a disarray of odd directions. and it smells so nice, too… i like to think he uses very subtle-smelling shampoos, but they also have the best scents known to man. (i really want to curl a long strand around my finger, now, too…)

one of cyno’s favourite things is definitely coming to see you after a long day. as you said, he falls asleep almost immediately when you run your fingers through his hair, whereas usually i headcanon he has trouble sleeping. your presence is just so comforting to him, and he can let all his walls down without having to worry about either of you getting into danger as a result.

(oh, and because this works on him so well, whenever you’re having trouble sleeping or have had a bad day, he mimics the gesture and cards his fingers through your hair, too. safe to say that it works like a charm on both of you.)

i think he snores very quietly, and only when he’s in a super deep sleep. it’s probably more of a ‘honk shoo’.

My personal Leviathan headcanons

Authors notes: My fave brother is Levi so this post might end up being ridiculously long 💀

Cw: Gender dysphoria and self deprecation

My babygirl

He's a no sabo kid for sure

Has the most whitewashed taste in hispanic food

His fave food has to be pupusas, specifically pupusas revueltos (pork and cheese)

The hispanic kid who is either obsessed with Naruto or DBZ in middle school, no inbetween

"But can your fave solo Goku tho"

Watches the absolute worst isekai animes like no I will not watch all 100 episodes of "I died and got reincarnated into a used vibrator in a McDonald's parking lot"

He's transmasculine (he told me so it's canon)

He doesn't really mind things like feminine compliments or nicknames but prefers more masculine ones

If he doesn't have something like his games or manga (Lucifer grounds him or he's somewhere where he can't have them) and he's alone with his thoughts he starts to become very aware of things and just ends up kinds spiraling in his own thoughts

When he does get gender dysphoria it's BAD like I mean disassociation and just not wanting to be perceived in general

Compares himself to his brothers and wants to be more like them (Lucifer's authority, Asmo's beauty, Beel's strength; etc) but he finds it hard to change

I'm totally not projecting (<-- me when I lie)

Watches "literally me" movies

Listens to Mitski

LOVES playing pokemon and yo-kai watch (if you haven't played yo-kai watch at least watch the series it's so good)

If he trusts you enough he'll let you help him groom himself (but he's tomato red the entire time)

Writes TSL fanfics

Has a fursona or at least used to have one

Has ocs with super complicated but interesting lore yet he refuses to show people because he's scared of being considered cringe (totally not me lol)

Listens to breakcore but it's so fast and obnoxious that it's basically considered just a bunch of sound

He loves spending time with you even if your not talking to him

Gives you cheesy nicknames like Henry (canon), player 2, “Hinata to my Naruto”; etc

Really loves home dates like movies, cooking, and role-playing

Always looking at you with puppy eyes <3

[yardsards]

i love how often i see people reblog posts about hunter owlhouse like "i don't even go here but i'm emotionally attached to this little white boy"

he's just prime blorbo-in-law material. he is one of the most skrunklies of all time. pathetic little wet dog of a boy. he stirs up intense instincts both to take him to mcdonalds and buy him a happy meal and to put him in a jar and shake it violently. absolutely immaculate

[atomiccryptid]

i feel like if bdubs ever got in an irl fight he would win instantly with a single punch then and shake the other person like a dog toy and yell "whos skrunkly now" and throw them at a wall

Went 2 see The Black Phone and I really enjoyed it 

Tho I will say the difference between me and a lot of you I’ve seen is that you want to fuck the Grabber whereas I want to put him in a purse like a little dog. Put him in a jar and shake him around like a jellybean. Punt him into the sun. He is my poor little meow meow skrunkly and I wish to cause him bodily harm.
