goign through deppression basically

ooh wait i've never thought about this?

he'd probably be a bit pissed about it, though.

in my opinion, kaboodle is the type of guy to experience trauma and immediately shove it down. he just ignores it and tries to be as productive as possible to drown it out.

who has time to just wallow in their own misery? there is shit to do, missions to go on, worlds to save. life lifes, what can you do about it?

so when you show up, some random newbie who (in his opinion) hasn't brought literally anything of value to this ship, he wants to kick you tf out.

you just piss him off on a deeper level than he'll ever realize. you go against his fundamental processing of trauma, the way he lives his life, the things that make him up.

kit will probably stand up for you.

"come on, kaboodle. they're going through a lot right now! don't you remember when your world was destroyed?"

"no, kit! when my world was destroyed, i didn't become a sad sack of shit that rotted in their room all day!"

eventually, kit would wear him down enough for him to go talk to you. it's awkward at first, almost like he forgot you were a real person, but you start having a conversation about something random and mundane.

it would continue like this for a while. he'd come in more often, and sometimes you would come out and look for him, too. just talking about some shallow, surface-level topic.

kaboodle wouldn't ever try to talk about the "emotions" part, as he thinks he's not cut out for the whole therapist thing. although, once more time passes and you become tentative friends, if you ever talked to him about something personal to you, he would listen and do his best to comfort you.

you grow closer, in this way. instead of being an emotional companion, like kit or gobbles, kaboodle is more of a stable person to talk to. maybe he's not the best for improving your mental health, but he's a nice escape for when you want to forget about all the shit going on.

whoa why do I feel like I want to write flustered kaboodle headcanons suddenly

must have been the wind

(also i do use "you" a lot, but this doesn't have to be reader x canon. it can be interpreted that way if you want, but you can also just replace "you" with "someone")

FLUSTERED BOYFAILURE KABOODLE HEADCANONS BECAUSE WHO CARES ABOUT CANON ASSHOLES??

he is a RAMBLER. you wouldn't really think it, as he's normally just sarcastic and pissed off, but once he gets closer to you, he becomes a certified yapper

^ however, the whole time he's yapping, he's constantly stuttering and stopping and going "oh shit you probably don't want to hear about this haha but also..."

he finds the stupidest stuff funny and hates it. you caught him laughing at an npc's dumbass joke and mentioned it once, and he blushed bright red and started trying to frantically justify himself

anytime you just casually pick him up and move him around, he is immediately flustered as hell. so of course he starts yelling and demands you "literally never do that again!!! why did you do that?? i have legs you dumbfuck..!" etc

incapable of maintaining eye-contact. he's kind of used to being small and not the focus of anyone's attention, so whenever you're making direct eye-contact he has to look away and cough awkwardly and blush or whatever

he has the worst voice cracks EVER when he's flustered. like full on middle-school-boy-going-through-puberty voice

also, when he's really flustered/ embarrassed, he goes through every fight or flight reaction in immediate succession before just running away lol

^ like he goes from frozen, to yelling, to trying to justify whatever his reaction was, to just fleeing the scene

so i've actually never written a lot of "flustered" content (for kaboodle or just in general) and idk if it came out well? that's why this post is pretty short lol

Can we get some Kaboodle x reader headcanons please (oh and uh,, feel free to sneak some angst in there,,, if you so choose,, hehehehehe,,)

oh boy oh boy oh boy i'm bouncing off the walls with excitement right now

TOOTH ROTTING MIND MELTING HEART BURSTING FLUFFY HCS:

you cook for kaboodle sometimes (by salvaging ingredients from other games before you beat them) and he loves it so much. unfortunately, kaboodle is an awful cook.

^ so, because of this, he tried to cook for you. one time.

^ it was actual dogshit horseshit bullshit practically inedible, and he was so ashamed of the abomination he tried to throw it away. but then you found it and ate the whole plate, yapping about "wow this is so good!" "i can't believe you made it yourself!" etc etc. he was in a good mood for the rest of the week :)

in terms of physical touch, it took FOREVER until he was comfortable enough to get close to you

^ now, though, he's on your shoulder, in your lap, on your head?? he's basically attached to you now

he loves brushing your hair. because. you know. bald robot head.

i fully project my sleep-deprived stressed-out ass onto kaboodle, so i imagine that anytime it's just you and him on the ship, he is sleeping the whole fucking time. like straight up 10 hours of sleep on a whim. (but you know it's only because he feels relaxed, so you're not complaining)

whenever you find a costume area in a game, you are both immediately trying to find the most awful, humiliating outfit to force the other person to wear (kaboodle still has a ridiculous sombrero and maracas you got for him in a western game)

you tried to get him to make friendship bracelets once. he thought the whole thing was stupid until he finally gave in. he'll never admit that it was actually kind of fun and he kept the bracelet you made for him

he normally gets pissed off whenever somebody clowns on him for looking like a soccer ball or something, but you're the only one who can tease him like that without him getting offended

surprisingly, kaboodle can get jammed or rusted like a real robot. he normally takes care of it by himself, but one day he mentioned it casually in a conversation and you didn't forget about it. a dozen books about robots and mechanical engineering later, kaboodle officially has someone to oil him up HELP WITH HIS TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

you used to consider yourself a night owl. until you met kaboodle. nobody is more night owl than kaboodle, and now you're suddenly his morning lark

you love playing card or board games together. you always lose. (sometimes you manage to beat kaboodle at a luck-based game, though! and that's all you can really hope for)

A N G S T

he is a professional over-analyzer. his brain is just always in overdrive.

^ this applies to your conversations, too. every time he starts feeling safe and comfortable around you, his brain starts taking every little gesture or glance as a sign that you're going to leave

he's pretty used to pushing down his real feelings regarding his world being destroyed, to the point where he doesn't take his own trauma seriously.

and every time you try to get him to see that it really did affect him, he gets defensive. like you're just making fun of him.

kaboodle also has the fun little combination of being easily angered and also descending into self-hatred the second you have an argument

he's developed an egotistical, pessimistic personality because it helps him stay away from his true emotions. so, whenever either of you are feeling stressed or tense, kaboodle becomes a grade-a asshole

then, once you have an argument, he immediately regrets everything and starts to spiral

do you still like him? did he just fuck up the one good thing he had going? is he just a fuck-up now??

.

okay disclaimer: this may not be my finest work and maybe ooc... im going to rewatch the pilot again before i answer any more asks lol

thank you thank you thank you so much for the ask!! also for anyone reading this PLEASE go check out the asker's art, its so good I need more people to see it

how about some kaboodle HCs? like how he acts with the canon cast, or how he'd act with "reader" (I think thats how its termed)

im honestly starving for Kaboodle anything and I like seeing other people's takes on the character

anon cuz im shy ^v^"

I LOVE YOU ANON I GET TO YAP ABOUT KABOODLE YAYAYAYAY

anywho this is just some self indulgent random shit that probably isn't canon but shhh thats fine

KABOODLE HEADCANONS except they get progressively angstier

snorts when he laughs

100% a bitter guy. like black coffee, dark chocolate, alllll that

speaking of coffee, (if there even is caffeine/ something similar in the gameoverse) he would be the most caffinated mf on the ship. he just gives caffiene addicted vibes

he's HELLA under-appreciated on the ship. he just does so much stuff so casually that everyone takes him a bit for granted

he hates being so small. he thinks people don't take him seriously because he looks like a little puntable basketball

its been him and kit on their ship for a while. gobbles came very recently compared to kaboodle & kits relationship in my opinion

because of this, he's become a little bit protective of kit (against his will, of course)

similarly, kaboodle is incapable of expressing or understanding a single genuine emotion other than angry or less angry.

^ and like maybe kind of shittily comforting kit sometimes? very rarely?

also i know this has been said before, but i love the idea that kaboodle was very affected by his world being destroyed

^ but he kept all of that bottled up because he needed to be strong for kit while she was grieving

i think he also ties some of his self-worth/ identity to being kit's friend.

^ because of the whole "being strong for kit" thing, he would have already invested so much of himself/ bottled up so many emotions for kit, and eventually become a bit intertwined with her (but in a slightly negative way?)

if he saw kit genuinely hanging out with flappers and gobbles, he'd probably feel angsty and emo and jealous and a lot of feelings he couldnt ever name

because that was supposed to be his job. he is the one who gives up and takes on and does what needs to be done for kit, so she can feel better

but now kit is hanging out with those other goofy cartoon fuckers, and she's smiling and laughing like she's never done with him

he's not jealous. obviously not! he threw all that "emotions" bullshit out a while ago.

another headcanon is also that kaboodle has always been a little bit of a pessimistic asshole, but the world destruction/ being on this ship has increased that exponentially

^ because stress and burnout and angst and whatnot

also i just realized that you asked for reader/ kaboodle headcanons. oops.

KABOODLE / READER HEADCANONS

for the sake of this demonstration, you and kaboodle are besties for the resties

you and him hang out at the front of the ship a lot, so he's started trying to teach you the controls (which has always ended in failure, but it's entertaining for both of you)

he also found a book of the most awful dad jokes ever, and he torments you with them constantly

both you and him speak exclusively in sarcasm

^ that goes over the heads of everyone else on the ship. ("wait, did kaboodle really just call gobbles helpful and smart? wow!")

you found the button to open his backpack feature (like where his body becomes the backpack yk) and press it sometimes to playfully annoy him

^ he crashes out every time. he never really means it seriously, though

you and kaboodle have a history of taking plants from other worlds and trying to keep them alive for as long as possible. unfortunately, plants seem to hate both of you, and die immediately under your care

you even turned it into a little competition. kaboodle is winning with an eight-day-old plant

he loves going on long yap-sessions about nerdy-ass topics with you, because you're the only one who really listens (or pretends to)

you're also the only person who really knows about his old game-world before it was destroyed

i've actually never done reader/ character headcanons, so i hope i did it right lol

thanks again for the request, anon!!

(im also feeling sad for like no reason rn and i have to project that onto the backpack man >:))

so we can all agree that kaboodle is the most "normal" one on that ship? even if he's pessimistic and jaded as fuck, he's still the only one that can

run/ fix the spaceship

not let his feelings cloud his judgement

and come up with a pretty good plan? from what we've seen?

but, the thing he lacks is the whole "emotions" / "having fun" thing. and that's what everyone else on the ship seems to specialize in.

as they all go and play games and giggle or whatever they do for fun, kaboodle is going to be at the front.

fixing the errors.

doing whatever he needs to do to make sure those clowns don't crash his ship.

he doesn't have the time or energy to go play duck fuck goose with everyone else, he's too busy running the show!

and yeah, maybe that distances him from everyone else. maybe that makes him the one that will never really fit in with the rest.

but whatever. the ship is flying. he has a purpose. he has a job.

all of this happened when I started posting gameoverse content btw 😭

release date is less than a month away btw.

can we as a fandom hold it together for a SINGLE GODAMN WEEK?? JUST A WEEK WITH NO CONTROVERSY. PLEASE.
