#where duck expects gifts bc he assumes red and yellow love him (in diff ways obvi) and red is like. appalled duck would ever think that

[dhmis-autism]

i really wanna hear so many of your fluffybird headcanons please /nf

Hah well thank you? That's very sweet though I don't have too many? Most of them just rely on scenes in the actual show or my interpretations of the characters based on what I see? Like, I'll notice things?

Uh, I think Duck like, with both Yellow and Red just like. ASSUMES however he feels about either of them is immediately and unequivocally reciprocated. I think part of that is his ego and I think part of that is his either unwillingness or utter inability to read social cues ( see: "They're pretending they don't respect me."; 'I'M your best friend?' 'Yeah. We're close." ) This is, regardless of the way he treats both of them by the way, because he assumes they already are a family and expects the other two to just immediately agree and also because of how immediate he is to reassure Yellow of their friendship when questioned on it.

I think it's very likely that in his head Ducks like "Uh, yeah, the big guy LOVES me, I'm LITERALLY his favorite." and if he were to ever verbalize that to him, Red would shut that down so hard his head would spin lol. ( Think very similar to what happens in the family ep :])

Red guy tends to be a bit harsh when it comes to verbalizing/establishing clearly his connection with the other two members of the trio (see: "I mean I KNOW you, I know which one you ARE."; "We could have a friend meeting!" 'Well, thats a stretch.'; "We shouldn't even be talking to each other,should we? We don't even know each other,really." ) but in his actions he shows he definitely at least cares for them. Like Yellow, I think he's actually very unsure about his place with the other two (and seems a bit insecure in general? At least in regard to how he looks/comes across.) and his way of coping with this is what he uses a lot; avoidance. He doesn't really know where he stands with the other two or what they think of him, so he acts as though they have no connection at all. He WILL desperately try to call them while he's gone and make SURE they don't leave the car before he starts trying to escape and also he WILL know their favorite foods and make puppets of them when he's all alone. But yknow, they're practically strangers, he doesn't know a thing about them.

THAT is why I think a lot of his interactions with Duck in a romantic sense would be similar to the Electricity scene in that they will be quiet and bashful and give himself an easy out in case the feelings are not reciprocated. Here, I'm focusing more on how he never outright says he likes looking at Duck, he says he "wouldn't mind" then confirm sort of unsteadily "I suppose" when pressed on it. What he means is sort of inferred and unsteadily confirmed in a wishy-washy way that gives him an easy out if things go wrong.

So YAH!
