lady luck is a fickle mistress

Hello and welcome to my Jackpot Crash Course headcannons blog! I'll post random headcannons about the characters, and I also have requests open if you want me to yap about a specific character or situation. Just no outright NSFW asks (such as asking how they'd be like in bed) please and thanks!

HEHE of course!! I'm so glad you guys like it so much...makes me so happy :)

Mortis is so unbelievably calm in the face of death it's so scary

It also cherishes its tarot cards like they were a child, it did so even before Bet and Forgive

Their tarot cards are one of the only things from outside the cult that it was allowed to have

It was born into the cult and never had plans to leave it, so it's constantly getting culture shock being on set of Bet and Forgive

It has scars on its palms and wrists from the weekly blood rituals it's been doing since it was a child

Its not very expressive, so seeing it smile or have any other expression than '_' is very rare

Does not know how to use technology very well,,,

^ its given a phone to text the other contestants and it takes a whole day to figure out that it can communicate with this strange flat box screen thingy

Plays with its cards as a sort of stim

Sure! They probably won't be very long overall, but I'd love to yap about some oc's!

FUUCCCKKKIM DOWN BAAADDD

HEHE ofc!! Very Sandbag pilled right now so :3

Will always be the most gentle with its partner, it knows it's very strong and doesn't want to hurt it's partner!!

Yknow the thing of people exercising and including their partner? Like doing push-ups with their partner on their back? Yeah Sandbag does that all the time

^ it will do push-ups with his partner on his back, sit ups where every time he comes up he gives his partner a kiss, you name it

Not much for fancy, so he likes to take his partner out on picnics or stay in for date nights!!

Beach dates, so many beach dates!!

It WILL infodump to its partner about sharks and would LOVE to be infodumped to

Would rather his partner not see him during...work, but if they did come, it would only make it want to win more

Tends to have aches and pains a lot, but it's learned to live with them since it can't exactly go to the doctor and tell them why

Has definitely had concussions and broken ribs before that he never got help for

Has the most calloused hands ever but he tries to take care of his hands

One of thee BEST cooks

Breakfast in bed? YES.

It doesn't sleep very easily, so it needs a good amount melatonin to sleep well

When it does sleep well, it sleeps like a ROCK

Has worked a ton of odd jobs before, so it's pretty handy

OFC OFC more of the dumbass ginger <333 (affectionate)

Building off these headcannons <3

BENEDBONES,,,,, oh they're so silly yes ofc!!

OH AWWW that's so cute!! Absolutely <3

[No crimes/never caught au]

Bones is the biggest dog person ever but he does really love cats

All their accessories that jingle and stuff attract cats like he was wearing cat toys

Only ever visits cat shelters to play with the older and less fortunate cats

As a kid, cats followed them home a lot and he was covered in cat fur a lot

He only ever really adopts/fosters stray cats or older ones from shelters

He really feels for the less fortunate cats, being from a less fortunate house themself

So, so many cat toys everywhere

Oooooh ManeVega!! Absolutely <3

Yapper X listener

Maneki lets Vega doodle on his fans sometimes

Vega is actually a really good artist and will sometimes doodle Maneki in a notebook

^ Maneki has seen these doodles and loves them so so much

Maneki will hum to Vega whenever their anxiety is acting up

So many naps together whenever they can

Maneki will lay on Vega's chest like a cat, which Vega loves since it reminds them of weighted blankets

Maneki will cover their face with their mask whenever they get overwhelmed, which does end up worrying Vega

Vega will either talk to them or stay quiet whenever they're overwhelmed

Maneki is so big on physical affection while Vega isn't really, but they ended up really enjoying it

The first time Vega hears Maneki actually saying "I love you" out loud, he nearly cries

{This is definitely not audrey shh 👀}

OFCCCCCC Elise and Poppy my beloveds, no crimes au this time!

They met in high school, though Elise didn't actually show up often because of mental issues (mania)

Poppy would sometimes leave little bracelets on Elise's desk when she knew it's next class was in the same room she was just in

Elise collected those things and has a small box for them under its bed

Poppy didn't see them much after they graduated, until she graduated herself

Elise ended up moving in with Vick and Bones to get away from his home life, and was actually so ecstatic to be able to bring Poppy over for a visit

Poppy lives with Cobyn and Sandbag since they both basically adopted her after their parents kicked them out

They ended up working at the same grocery store together, with about the same hours

They text each other so long into the night

Bones has caught Elise texting or on call with Poppy so many times and teased it endlessly about it

They didn't actually go out on a date until Bones pushed Elise to ask them out

They went on an aquarium date totally not with Vega and Vick watching them to make sure they were both okay

Elise can drive actually pretty well, but it blasts the loudest music known to man

Poppy was already in good graces with Bones and Vick for being nice to Elise while in high-school, but they're even more appreciated after they made bracelets for the two of them

They playfully bully each other all the time

Late night calls when Elise can't sleep since Poppy's voice soothes him a lot

They fall asleep on call so much

SandVick you say...👀👀

Very very odd couple, the couple you never expected to see

Vick is strangely soft on Sandbag once he actually gets to know it, all for the plan he says (his plans are in shambles)

Sandbag however...hoo boy

It took him a WHILE to even wanna be in the same room as Vick

Once Sandbag was actually shown that Vick didn't mean it or Sailor harm (that he could help) it was more open to his presence

Sandbag being good at massages comes in clutch yet again because of Vick's awful back

Vick smuggles Sandbag some chips or has Bones steal some for it and Sailor, though he'll never tell it they were stolen

Neither are really big on physical touch but sometimes hold hands when others aren't around

GIGGLES of course!! Relating to this post.

They don't even know how he managed to get front but he did

The littlest of guys ever

Genuinely gets confused because the body is so big and adult now, meanwhile he is still like 5 years old mentally/in headspace

Epitome of baby im a grown man's body, quite literally

He somewhat remembers the other contestants, but it's really blurry

Tries to make friends with Sailor because "oh, someone who's older than me but still a kid like me!"

Sailor and his group are very, very confused by this

Elise laughs at him while Bones is very, very confused and immediately tries to get to the bottom of it

This is how Bones found out about Vick and his system

Bones tries to keep them from interacting with the audience and limiting their interactions with the contestants so their system isn't revealed

They wander off. A lot

Bones takes his eyes off them for 2 seconds and suddenly they're gone

He goes to try and hang out with Poppy and Sailor a lot

Absolutely REFUSES to eat the terrible food at the facility

He won't go to sleep unless Bones is around since he was so nice to them

When Vick wakes up in front the next morning he doesn't remember a thing, until Bones mentions it to him

Vick is mortified

-🌷⚙️

PAPA VICK,,,,OUGHHH of course! A lot of these are based off my own dad, since Vick somewhat reminds me of my dad

Vick tries to be stern as a father but he loves his kids so much that they can basically get anything they want out of him

Will always get the best for his kids

He'll never let them watch Bet and Forgive or any other live TV show with criminals

Pretends not to like cartoons but he gets sucked in

Doesn't let them even think about getting into trouble, his worst fear is his children ending up as criminals

Gives the best hugs ever to his kids

He pretends like he's not freaked out whenever they get sick but he's terrified that it's something really bad

Weak for puppy dog eyes

He's a total pushover for his kids, all they have to do is ask and he'll get them whatever they want

He does his best to impart fatherly wisdom onto them but he's not the best at explaining his thought process most times

Headcanons for Maneki and Sailor (bonus points for Maneki babysitting Sailor years before the show)/silly

THE GUYS EVER ofc ofc!! I don't have anything to say about the babysitting thing tho, since im really not well versed in the fan theories im afraid 😔

Sailor will yap to Maneki all the time, which Maneki will always let him do

Maneki has a great memory, so he'll remember the random facts or stories that Sailor tells them

They let Sailor doodle on some of his fans, so they have a few fans with sharks and other sea life on it

Sailor can and will get so excited about something that he'll forget to eat, so Maneki brings him food when he forgets

Sailor is one of the few people to have heard Maneki's voice outside of little hums

Maneki will gently pinch Sailor's cheek whenever he pouts, which is a lot

Sailor will sit quietly with Maneki whenever they get overwhelmed and use their mask to cover their face

Sailor covers his face with his hat whenever Maneki covers his face with their mask

Maneki once patted Sailor on the head, which led to Sailor trying to jump up and pat Maneki on the head too

Sailor wants to sit on Maneki's shoulders but Maneki isn't strong enough to hold him up for long

Maneki teaches Sailor fan language and sign language, mostly English sign language but he teaches Sailor a couple Japanese signs

SANDEDDIE,,,OUGH yes ofc!!

They're so incredibly soft on each other

They're the epitome of smart and capable on their own, but sharing the same braincell when they're together

Sandbag is always afraid he'll hurt Eddie, with him being shorter and older than it

They play wrestle all the time, but Sandbag holds back a LOT since it doesn't wanna hurt Eddie

Sandbag is actually really good at giving massages? It helps Eddie whenever his back starts acting up

Sandbag's tall enough to rest his chin on Eddie's head, but doesn't do it much because it doesn't want Eddie to think it's teasing him

Eddie doesn't have many scars, so seeing someone like Sandbag with literally so many scars on display is kinda intriguing to him

Eddie once asked where it got its scars, and ended up listening to it ramble about the boxing matches and family life it had before B&F

Sandbag's an emotional little guy, so Eddie's kissed away his tears on many occasions

Eddie will mindlessly trace Sandbag's scars while they're cuddling

^ Sandbag's never gonna admit it but that flusters the fuck out of him, but that's pretty obvious to Eddie

Eddie will listen to it ramble on about sharks–or whatever it wants to talk about–for literal hours without getting bored

Eddie appreciates how calm Sandbag is when it's not being provoked, and actively tries to keep others from provoking it

Sandbag also tries to make sure nobody tries to provoke Eddie into attacking them

They both keep each other in check, if they're both pissed then well— good luck

I SEE YOU MANGO,,, I SEE YOU /silly ofc!! <3

[ no crimes/never caught au ]

It's honestly a surprise to no body that Vick is a system, after being B&F's showrunner for years and seeing so much, as well as his messed up childhood

Vick discovered his system on a random night after he got back from filming, and proceeded to have a whole mental breakdown about it

Only has a few known parts; a caretaker, an anger/trauma holder, an ANP (apparently normal part) that would front during filing, and a child alter that's somewhat dormant

His anger/trauma holder is somewhat violate, and can't be allowed to front by himself

His caretaker would take care of the body after filming was done, and makes sure they don't die in their day to day life

His ANP is who used to front during filming on B&F, and is a huge smooth-talker. He doesn't front for very long periods of time though, since he can't hold front well

His child alter almost never front and if they're around front, they only have a slight influence on Vick

Vick goes into deep denial after the initial system discovery and doesn't finally accept it until he talked to Bones about it and reassured him he wasn't going crazy

Ooooh yes I do hehe! Not tooooo many but yes I do! <3

Arthritis

He has a little bit of hearing loss from age but not that much

Cannot style himself to save his life, dresses like a grandpa without the wardrobe team

Needs glasses, but wears contacts to look more appealing to the audience

Has been smoking since he was about 17

Doesn't really use his money to treat himself much, sometimes splurges but a lot of it goes into his retirement fund

He tries not to get to know the contestants outside of their roles to avoid getting attached to people

Also doesn't know many of his staff by name to avoid getting attached

Acts like he's not affected by being Bet And Forgive's host, but the premise somewhat disturbs him to the point he has to remind himself that these are criminals he's dealing with

Also has carpal tunnel

Doesn't have much family left and never married, so he's very lonely
