I'm writing part of a hc ask rn and Tobias keeps surprising even me bc what do you mean EVERY single word he chooses to use has 349328432489 layers to it. Girl what do you mean every nickname he gives someone has several intended meanings but no one's ever picked up on that before (me included)

[yeonban]

Send me hc + a word of your choosing and I’ll write a headcanon relating to that word!

Or send hc + two words and I’ll try and come up with one that links those two things together!

I was listening to an interview of Gagne's about her sociopathic condition and some of these parts really resonated with Tobias. Like her mentioning she's masking "right now" (during the interview) otherwise she'd be smiling and blinking far less, the story about how as a child she felt a pressure building up in her and when another kid who was sitting next to her annoyed her at the wrong moment she stabbed them and the stabbing made her feel startlingly euphoric, the way she was discussing empathy as something learned from society and intended to gain something from (a dopamine release/good feeling) because she doesn't understand any actions that are done by neurotypicals for no reason, her experience having to mimic her neurotypical sister to fit into society, the relief she felt when she met her husband who didn't shy away from her despite her unburdening herself to him about all of her (the bad, scary & unnerving qualities/actions/etc included)... there are a bunch of differences between her & Tobias' experiences too, obviously, but at least THESE parts were very on the nose. Especially one declaration that stood out to me: "Doing something morally unacceptable was a way to force a pop of color [in my life]" which is exactly why Tobias does anything he does. That pop of color. That derived amusement. The odd joy that follows which is the only thing he can really feel out of the positive cluster of emotions.

[yeonban]

Tobias randomly does such nice things for people (for manipulation purposes) and it always gets me 😮‍💨 over here because unfortunately this might've even worked on me if I'd been in some of these muses' places

[yeonban]

Also this spree has reminded me of some of Tobias' threads........... in which he's very "in your face" with a facade (usually towards a 3rd person but sometimes directly to his conversation partner as well) to the point the other muse calls him out for it, and then around that muse he "takes off the mask" and "speaks honestly" (He Does Not Though. This is another facade meant to make that person feel trusted and at ease around him, but it's every bit as fake as the first one they called him out for)

[yeonban]

I've been watching tons of videos of speeches from serial killers, cult leaders, (confirmed) psychopaths etc today and Tobias does plenty of the subtle things they do, from tone and phrasing to body language. It makes it x100 scarier for me to then look at how Tobias has made every single person he's come across like him to some degree or another, sometimes simply by existing and other times by tailoring his manipulation strategies to their psyche

[yeonban]

I have to head to bed rn (<-idiot who's once again only sleeping 3 hours tops) but I've re-found these edits I've made a few days ago and I'm laughing at the dichotomy all over AGAIN

Unprompted.

@sortilegii asked:

Lucian to Tobias, but non-sexy & non-sweet as we know <3

Greys grace Lucian with their gaze merely because of his abrupt interruption of Tobias' stroll, but the brunette comes to a halt before the other nonetheless, opting to wordlessly lend an ear to the bullshit that he's aware will undoubtedly spill out of the hacker's mouth sooner or later. It's always one thing or another with this man, and despite it all— Lucian has yet to produce a single noteworthy reaction out of him; one disparate from boredom, that is. Inevitably, Tobias' assumption becomes reality and his acquaintance's speech is mentally jotted down to be mulled over at a later date, for Lucian's eventual eradication rather than any sort of nonsensical "reassurances" for the other's pride. Neither the obsession nor the inane jealousy manage to stir anything in the brunette's heart, and the outcome is lackluster at best. Every part of you belongs to me, the blonde says, and Tobias idly recalls the myriads of others who have voiced similar sentiments in the past, time and again proven untrue in the bloodiest of exhibits.

It must be a blissful existence for one to be as delusional as the man in front of him is, and Tobias simply doesn't care enough to bother correcting him on any of his impassioned points. It isn't as if his words would change Lucian's diseased mind if he were to utter them in dismissal (chances are, doing so would simply invite further attempts at irritating him) and unless actively interfering with his prized plans or with the one person he's come to be interested in... the brunette sees nothing to be gained from talking to the hacker either. Thus, he ignores this waste of space and chooses to respond to him only as much as deemed necessary. He's got other, far better places to be at. ❛ You think so highly of yourself, I can't imagine why. ❜ The brunette's voice is calm when he responds, soothing as always despite the honest affront to the blonde's ego; yet a sense of detachment oft present when speaking with those who interest him even less than worms forms between the lines, and it's anyone's wildest guess whether Tobias is looking at Lucian or through him.

I will tear any man apart who dares to get in my way, the other boldly claims, and it stands as the sole point which brings a semblance of intrigue in its intended recipient. Not the declaration itself, but the multitude of ways in which Tobias could now fill his monotonous free time when he next ought to (murder is a creative outlet, one he quite fancies after this indirect threat to Tobias' other, closer or business relationships; and the brunette absentmindedly considers the idea of brutally testing Lucian's allegedly death-defying obsession with him in the near future). ❛ Before saying cringeworthy things again, how about trying to successfully amuse me even just once? Both of your colleagues are outdoing you right now, it's pitiful. ❜ There is no spite or sarcasm to be found in his tone, not even a bit of vexation at the idiotic proclamations he was forced to hear; instead Tobias' own declaration mirrors only his truest sentiments on the matter at hand, and his expression remains as apathetic as though asked what his latest meal had been. What a needy guy this man is. What disgusting rubbish. Hurry up and move out of my way while you still have the legs to do so.

Tobias has been drilling his voice into my head since morning and I got home not too long ago so I WILL try to write a bit on here before going to dreamland 😮‍💨 most likely no huge replies bc I'm on 2h of sleep and 12h of continuous work + I have some projects due tmrw as well and I'm also waking up early BUT something shall be written. Maybe Lucian's ask. Maybe a dash commentary for/about the earlier events since Tobias is still giggling about those. Maybe even both,

[yeonban]

Tobias with his SEVERAL stalkers and obsessed-with-him people: Can you guys do something fun for me. like killing each other

[yeonban]

Tobias: I want someone who won't leave me no matter what I do

Lucian: I won't leave you no matter what you do

Tobias: Actually I want You Specifically to leave me alone

[yeonban]

Tobias is so weird bc it's like. he wants someone to keep him on his toes but he ALSO wants someone who will never leave him even if he were to do smth heinous that they aren't at all approving of

[yeonban]

Tobias and Elijah's friendship is so damn complicated because they are each other's longest-standing friends which means they are some level of nice and considerate to one another, but everything about their personalities, opinions and likes/dislikes is the polar opposite of one another. Plus there's the underlying tension brought about by Elijah's strong affiliation to Wammy's House vs Tobias' apathy towards whether Elijah as a person (as in, outside of his skills & whatever else makes him useful) lives or dies.

Elijah's current friendship with Tobias is double-sided in the sense that yes, he does care about that guy a lot, but at the same time he's strategically placed himself in Tobias' close circle to deter him from doing anything Too out of line; a position that embodies the threat of punishment always laying above Tobias' head. Tobias is aware that Elijah is one of the very few people who could successfully backstab him before he could retaliate and kill him, since Elijah's whole job is espionage followed by donning such intricate disguises that he could leave the building to alert Wammy's without even Tobias realizing it.

On the other hand, Tobias keeps Elijah around for his skillset and sometimes comical personality, but he also tries to keep him as far away from him & most of his worse schemes as possible by sending Elijah to other corners of the world, never telling him about certain plans, actively hiding information from him and even training his dogs to turn on Elijah if he (Elijah) were to step too close to something he isn't supposed to, which Tobias knows would surely make its way to Wammy's if Elijah were to leave alive. They're friends, best friends even, but the both of them are aware they're holding a metaphorical gun to each other's head at all times.

[yeonban]

Tobias really cannot stand "foolishly good-hearted" people who have nothing else going on for them (which he would like, such as high intellect or fun personality). He typically leaves them be since he rarely comes across any in HIS field of work & he sure as hell isn't keen on searching for them of his own volition, but when their paths do cross, it's so evident that he HATES their existence. Especially if they're trying to get close to him. The more "moral" they are, the worse it gets too. They're really testing his patience, and he's always this 🤏 close to caving and spitefully going after them just to break their morals. You guys don't understand HOW HARD it is for Tobias to rein in these impulses when the other person is actively pissing him off
