CELEBRITY STATUS || Marianas Trench

 ‘  i traded in who i’ve been, for shiny celebrity skin.   i like to push it and push it until my luck is over.  ‘

I really associate this song with Daffy, for the fact that, a lot of the time he fools himself into thinking that the stuff he’s saying is true. But really, under it all, he knows it’s all just an act. ‘Mirrors and smoke’ like it says in the song. And putting on that act, acting larger than life, and trying to charm everyone all the time --- it’s exhausting. And sometimes, when he comes back to himself a bit and realizes that he’s kind of lost himself in it all ‘traded in who he’d been for shiny celebrity skin’, he thinks privately to himself how much he just wants to be himself and let that whole act drop. Which he doesn’t for various other reasons that I could get into later haha.

OH NO!  || Marina and the Diamonds

‘  ‘cause i feel like i’m the worst,     so i always act like i’m the best.  ‘

Alright, this song is another one that i’ve always associated with Daffy. It’s kind of in the same vein as the previous song, but from a slightly different perspective. Like, I HC that Daff has periods where he thinks he’s on top of the fucking world, and then periods where he’s hit with reality and some humbleness seeps in (like in the previous song); AND THEN moments where he feels like a total second banana fucking failure--- and that’s what this song represents. 

Like he knows that sweeping all of his flaws under the metaphorical carpet is really fucking him up big time. He knows that placing so many expectations on himself that he can’t possibly live up to isn’t good for his emotional well-being, and when he inevitably doesn’t live up to his own crazy expectations, he just gets DOWN, man.

But he still does it, and he can’t let it go. Because deep down his self-esteem is such shit. He wants to grab that praise and respect and admiration and love all for himself, by tearing others down, by being selfish, by praising himself and constantly trying to feed his ego --- like it’s all to make himself feel important and to convince himself that he’s loved and worthy of being loved.

Which is dumb on his part bc he’s putting so much pressure on himself, when literally all he has to do to be loved is to not try, and to simply accept his flaws and realize that no one’s perfect and he’s interesting and lovable and stuff without being the #1 BEST AT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD. 

Like he thinks he’s unlovable, so he acts like an asshole trying to grab that love for himself. So he’s becoming his own ‘self-fulfilled prophecy’, like it says in the song.

BILLIONAIRE  ||  Bruno Mars

This song isn’t nearly as deep as the others lmao. It’s pretty straight-forward and literal. Daffy just wants fame and glory and to be rich. All of this stuff. This whole song. One thing though, is that as soon as he felt like, fulfilled, he’d actually start thinking about ppl other than himself ( maslow’s hierarchy of neeeeeds )  like it jumps from selfishly filling his own desires in the song, to giving back to people. Because ultimately what he wants is to be loved and respected, and he’d find out that he could get that by giving back to people. And SURPRISE SURPRISE, helping people and making them happy actually makes HIM happy too. So i do associate it with that, but yeah haha, this song is basically exactly literal.

SOME NIGHTS  ||  fun. 

‘  some nights i stay up, cashin’ in my bad luck,    some nights i call it a draw.    some nights i wish that my lips could build a castle,    some nights i wish they’d just fall off.  ‘ AND

‘  some nights i wish that this all would end,   ‘cause i could use some friends for a change.    and some nights i’m scared you’ll forget me again,    and some night i always win, i always win...  ‘

THIS SONG. THIS SONG RIGHT HERE OKAY. I have so many feelings associated with this song ♥ like, okay. I could go so in-depth about everything I’ve thought about regarding this song. There are so many different aspects to it that I ascribe to Daff’s character ( i’m not joking when i say i think about things to music lmao). So I’ll just go over what it means generally to me for now:

Okay, so generally, to me, this song represents Daff’s indecisiveness about who he is and who he wants to be and what he stands for and things. Like, especially now with how he’s getting to know his past wives and attempting to reconnect with his children and smooth things over and take responsibility for his actions, he’s learning more and more about how his actions affect others, and he’s actually beginning to care. But then he still juggles with that deep-seeded ‘me me me i look out for myself’ mentality that’s been like drilled deep into his subconscious by now. So he’s juggling with himself.

The verses that i described up above are basically him flip-flopping between moods, kinda like i described in ' Oh no! ’. like he feels on top of the world sometimes, and sometimes he feels like ‘aw shit why’d i say that, that was so fucking dumb’. Sometimes he charms people and does things right and everything works out for him. And sometimes (lots of the time actually lmao) he just royally shoves his own foot in his own mouth and screws himself over by being a selfish asshole.

And when he reflects back on it, he wonders what he even ‘stands for’, or like, what he’s trying to accomplish, because he knows that making people feel like crap isn’t what he wants to stand for. But he doesn’t know what his ultimate goal in life is either. Because it’s not ‘glory’ or ‘riches’ or ‘being worshipped’. It’s just being loved genuinely and making people happy through his own expression of who he actually is. He’s just got to get over his shit self-esteem and realize that’s what he ultimately wants first.

But until then, he’s got no fucking clue what he’s doing.

gundham sfw alphabet

pairing - gundham tanaka x gn!reader

warnings - none!!

word count - 1.8k

a/n - FUCK YEAH GUNDHAM (also i apologize, i got lazy near the end)

a = affection (how affectionate are they? how do they show affection?)

in the beginning of the relationship, he would definitely be very hesitant to show physical or verbal affection since it wasn’t something he was used to. he’d show his love with acts of service and giving, most likely. (giving his s/o one of the devas if he knew they’d be separated for a short period of time, bringing them small trinkets he found like pretty rocks or bones, helping them with homework, etc.)

as time goes on, though, he’d become more comfortable with showing physical affection and would grow to become a huge cuddle bug!!! please hug him for me

b = best friend (what would they be like as a best friend?)

literally the coolest friend ever. especially if you had an alternative fashion sense, he’d be so down to go clothes shopping with you LMAO

if you were okay initiating physical affection outside of a romantic relationship, and were able to make him comfortable with that, he’d totally be That Friend who cuddles with you all the time!! he’d never mention it though, and would die on impact if you brought it up in front of any of his other friends/classmates

c = cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how would they cuddle?)

once he’s comfortable with it, yeah! he’s definitely super touch starved because of him not having friends most of his life, so having someone to cuddle would make his brain go ^^^^^

honestly, he’s good with any position so it’s up to his s/o. he prefers being able to see their face, though

the first time he ever cuddled with them he cried :(( shh don’t tell anyone though

d = domestic (do they want to settle down? how are they at cooking and cleaning?)

man that’s his DREAM!! the idea of just getting to live with his s/o + animals makes his serotonin machine go BRR

honestly, i think he would fucking suck at cooking. baking, however. :))

because of having to clean up after his animals and keep things out of their way, he would naturally be a pretty neat person out of habit!! i don’t think he’d mind too much if his s/o was messy though.

e = ending (if they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

I DIDNT DO THIS ONE BECAUSE IT MADE ME SAD IM SORRY

f = fiance(e) (how do they feel about commitment? how quick would they want to get married?)

gundham already sets up so many walls, and for his s/o to be able to break those down would already mean he’d be willing to commit. i don’t think he would ever just like.... date random people for funsies, so being in a romantic relationship with someone is already so big to him.

honestly, i can’t see him being the type to want to get married. he’d definitely want to settle down! but the idea of having a traditional wedding stresses him out. (of course, that doesn’t mean he’d be any less committed :))

g = gentle (how gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

dealing with small animals like the devas has left him gentle by nature!! he doesn’t even notice it, but he is always extremely careful with his s/o with the subconscious fear of accidentally hurting them/scaring them off :(

emotion wise, i think it’d be the same. when he cares about someone (whether it be romantic or platonic) he’s always cautious of teasing them too much since he knows that it can hurt sometimes. 

h = hugs (do they like hugs? how often do they do it? what are their hugs like?)

HE FUCKINGNF LOVES HUGS

they’re probably SO good too, like he’s the type to give those hugs that make you feel so safe. full on wraps his arms completely around you and rests his head on yours if you’re shorter (since he’d such a fucking giraffe my god)

i = i love you (how fast do they say the L-word?)

it would definitely take a while for gundham to admit it. i can see him saying it on accident, like when he thinks you’re sleeping or not paying attention to him. he’d also need a lot of reassurance afterwards, just because of that initial fear of rejection

j = jealousy (how jealous do they get? what do they do when they’re jealous?)

if he sees someone flirting with his s/o and they’re uncomfortable, he’ll immediately wrap an arm around their shoulder.

“they said they’re taken, respect that knave.”

sometimes he does get insecure that’s he’s too much for his s/o, considering he’s an evil tyrant, and that they might want to leave him for someone who’s..... not an evil tyrant.... (once again, please give him a hug)

k = kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss you? where do they like to be kissed?)

like i said before, he’s very gentle when it comes to affection so his kisses are vv soft!! he’ll always hold their chin or one of their hands.

his favorite places to kiss his s/o are probably their forehead and hands!!

he loves being kissed everywhere, but he really likes neck kisses and any kisses around his face :^)

l = little ones (How are they around children?)

he’s great with kids!! he’d tell them stories of how he defeated different warlocks that tried to test him, or giant manticores he tamed.

i think he’d really like kids too, mostly because they’re so easy to impress LMAO

it inflates his ego a little bit whenever one gets really into one of his stories

m = morning (how are mornings spent with them?)

if he wakes up before his s/o, he’d gently pull them into a hug while he waits for them to wake up (sobbing)

morning voice morning voice morning voice morning voice morning v

he memorized how his s/o likes their tea/coffee and will make it really groggily HAHA

n = night (how are nights spent with them?)

okokok hear me out

i think that gundham is a really good singer, so he would 100% sing u to sleep

he’d be embarrassed as hell though LMAOO

he’d probably cuddle them before they fall asleep and talk about each other’s days or just random stuff until they get tired

o = open (when would they start revealing things about themselves? do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

i think a few months into their friendship? he would talk about his childhood randomly, but would prefer if they don’t make a huge deal about it.

he’d open up more if his s/o did first! he would take it as they trust him enough to talk about it.

p = patience (how easily angered are they?)

it depends on the person! with someone like hiyoko, he can get pissed pretty quickly, but his patience is VERY thick with his s/o. generally, it takes a lot to anger him. 

that being said, if they put themself in danger he would get ticked off out of fear.

q = quizzes (how much would they remember about you? do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

especially in the beginning of their relationship when he was hesitant about physical/verbal affection, he would focus heavily on listening to them. he really wanted to show them that he respects them a lot, and remembering small things they mentioned would convey that well.

r = remember (what is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

after coming out of the shower, he walked in to see them asleep on his couch with the devas curled up on top of their chest. he went to go lay down with them and it just kind of.. hit him. that he wasn’t alone anymore and they loved and were there for him. :( 

s = security (how protective are they? how would they protect you? how would they like to be protected?)

he’s very protective!! (especially if you’re in the killing game) the thought of something happening to you is his worst fear. 

t = try (how much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

ALL THE EFFORT

if his s/o asks him to do something in passing, you BET he’s gonna make sure he does his best

he keeps track of anniversaries/important dates religiously because he’s terrified of accidentally forgetting LMAO

u = ugly (what would be some bad habits of theirs?)

sometimes i think he might come off as cold when embarrassed because his persona is so important to him, but if they expressed being upset he would backtrack SO fast

v = vanity (how concerned are they with their looks?)

not very much?? like, i think he would brag about his hair or something sometimes but he’s always joking LMAO

w = whole (would they feel incomplete without you?)

yes and no? if something ever happened to his s/o, he would feel horribly empty for a time. but i also think that being in a relationship could help him not feel so lonely and teach him better ways to take care of himself, so if they were to ever split he would be able to heal after he got over the initial sadness.

x = xtra (a random headcanon for them.)

he’s a Mitski Understander (TM) his favorite songs are crack baby, pink in the night, and i bet on losing dogs, i’m up for debate

and yes i absolutely will be making a gundham playlist

i don’t know if this counts since i’m 90% projecting, but i hc him as trans and ND so like. solidarity if you are too wink wonk

y = yuck (what are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

a/n - just so everyone knows, i honestly think every character would be fine with any type of person since projecting is so important to a lot of us. these are just my personal headcanons, and if they don’t apply to you please don’t take it personally!! <3

i think he would really want a kind s/o. especially with what he’s been through, someone who’s gentle/patient would mean the world to him

also someone who likes animals!! they mean so much to him and were basically his entire life until he met the others, so having someone who shared that interest would make him so happy

z = zzz (what is a sleep habits of theirs?)

it’s not uncommon for him to sleep with his animals!! he mostly just sleeps with the devas though; he would probably place them near his head or on his chest so he wouldn’t accidentally roll on them.

he also really likes cuddling with his s/o when they sleep! he wouldn’t mind being the big or little spoon, either.
