Victor Van Dort x Reader | Headcanons

Victor is sweetly bashful around you at first, often fumbling his words or trailing off mid-sentence.

He's not flashy in romance; instead, he's steady, gentle, and attentive in the ways that matter most.

He loves composing short piano pieces inspired by you, though he’s shy about playing them unless you insist.

He often sketches you in his notebooks, though you may only catch glimpses when he's feeling particularly brave.

At first, physical affection is hesitant — a light brush of fingers, a quick but warm hug.

Over time, he becomes more comfortable holding your hand, his thumb gently rubbing over your knuckles when he’s nervous.

You often keep him company while he practices piano — sometimes reading nearby, sometimes humming along.

You sometimes help him rehearse speeches or vows, patiently listening when he stumbles and encouraging him to try again.

Victor isn’t aggressive by nature, but if you’re uncomfortable, he’ll find subtle ways to shield you — guiding you away, changing the subject, or stepping between you and someone unpleasant.

He’s willing to stand up for you when it matters, even if it means stepping far outside his comfort zone.

You’re one of the few people he trusts enough to be fully himself — stammering, nervous quirks, and all.

Sometimes he'll look at you mid-conversation, get a little lost in thought, and say softly, "You make the world feel less frightening."

Emily x Reader | Headcanons

Emily is incredibly devoted once she falls in love with you. After being betrayed in life, she treasures every bit of affection you give her and holds it close to her heart.

She has this ethereal but playful charm — sometimes she'll twirl around dramatically just to make you laugh.

She loves holding your hand, despite her skeletal fingers. She always worries you’ll find her touch too cold or strange, but you find it comforting.

If you’re alive, she can’t help but marvel at the warmth of your skin and heartbeat, sometimes pressing her head against your chest just to listen.

Emily often has nights where she remembers her betrayal and death, feeling fragile and broken. During those moments, she’ll seek comfort in you, quietly clinging and needing to hear that you won’t leave her.

Your love gives her a sense of life she thought she’d never feel again. When she looks at you, her eyes practically glow brighter than usual.

If you’re alive, she sneaks you down to the Land of the Dead, excitedly showing you around like it’s a secret magical world.

If you’re dead, she brings you flowers she plucks from the glowing, otherworldly gardens below.

She loves dancing with you under the moonlight — sometimes clumsy, sometimes graceful, but always full of joy.

Though she’s gentle, Emily can become fiercely protective of you. If anyone dares threaten or mock you, her eyes flash with an eerie blue glow, and her presence becomes almost frightening.

She would do anything to keep you safe — unlike how she was betrayed, she will never let you feel abandoned.

Emily from Corpse Bride

Corpse Groom Gyutaro is back!! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Yes, I know we ain't that close Halloween yet, but I couldn't help myself! A year ago, I did a drawing of Gyutaro as a Corpse Groom, referencing the Corpse Bride of course. I just decided to do a small re-draw!

Trust me, he's more than happy to finally get married.

As a Jew and even more specifically as a Jewish woman: Tim Burton might call his story the Corpse Bride, but it is not.

He stole and ripped off from our folklore to make that thing and let me tell that is not Corpse Bride. She might be a corpse and she might be a bride, but she is not a Corpse Bride.

That is our story, our history, our pain, our trauma, and our way of dealing with lack of dignity given to our daughters and sisters in death, about the rape they didn't survive, and about the horrific and lonely murder done to them.

It how we cope with the loss of our family, our loves, our friends, our community members, and how we envision them returning home to us.

It is not some generic story about a dead woman or funny mistakes or wacky songs or worms in ears.

It is about tragedy. It about permanent loss. It is about the desperate hope to have your child's bones be returned. It is a warning for brides and it is reminder for brides of the strength inside of them.

It is a story that is found in every Jewish Diaspora community no matter the setting because it happened to every Jewish community in Diaspora.

Our daughters were taken before they could be married and as they were adorned in their bridal wear. And then they were raped, murdered, and left to rot in some unknown place. Never to be found. For not even in death could they return home.

So we made a story about our daughters coming home so that their bones could rest with family and community.

This is a Jewish story.

So this "corpse bride" from Tim Burton is no Corpse Bride. She is mockery of our pain and trauma. It is spits on our Corpse Brides.
