some kind of AU ig

Started as practice for Vincent Whittmans body headcanons, such as more muscle and body hair, along with wrinkles and crows feet. I imagine him as a young old man haha Keeps his body fit and healthy but due to stressful long nights at the studio (and murder), he gets dark circles and grey hairs easily

[these mostly tie together, but can be seen as separate prompts]

Vincent is at least five years younger than Alastor

Vincent is an inch taller than Alastor

Alastor being a reluctant mentor to Vincent (who is blackmailing him)

Vincent out-freaking Alastor at his own game

Alastor and Vincent people watching at formal events

"Hunting" trips together where they bring home more than just deer

Vincent stepping on Alastor's feet when they dance (accidentally, but he lies and pretends it was on purpose)

Alastor stepping on Vincent's feet when they dance (On purpose, but he lies and says it's accidental)

Vincent trying to kill Alastor, but Alastor avoids it

Alastor trying to kill Vincent, but Vincent avoids it

The "You're like me!" spidey-sense when they meet each other

Both of them being easy to find at bars/clubs because they're both yappers

Alastor admiring how charismatic and sly Vincent is

Vincent admiring how wicked yet gentlemanly Alastor is

Alastor having moments when he almost believes one of Vincent's bullshit lies because Vincent is just so good at talking

Vincent is never truly able to trick Alastor

Vincent falling first and harder. Always.

Alastor falls for Vincent too, but it's so subtle that he doesn't even realize it.

Alastor can speak creole french and mainland french. Vincent hates not knowing what Alastor is saying about him.

Vincent being jealous of Mimzy's closeness to Alastor

Vincent is clingy without realizing it and will stand an inch away from Alastor whenever there's the opportunity

They don't spend much time together in public because of period-typical racial tension, but trust that Vincent is sneaking over to Alastor whenever he can

Alastor rejects every business proposal Vincent offers him because he's happy at his home station in New Orleans (plus he's got a murder routine that he doesn't want to change)

Vincent is a job-hopper/opportunist and travels wherever there's a stage he can be the center of. If there isn't an opening, then he kills to make one

Alastor is the flirtier of the two of them, but the least likely to follow through on anything

Alastor pretends to be hurt post-"hunting" to force Vincent to do all the clean-up

Both of them have c-ptsd that will never get officially diagnosed because it's the early 1900s and the world still doesn't give a shit about mental health

Vincent has severe religious trauma

Alastor has severe racial trauma

Vincent struggling with his sexuality (Bi) vs. Alastor not caring about his sexuality at all (Ace)

Visions of sugar plum danced in their heads 💭

this post by @a-small-lemon was funny so I drew it

Val is one of those people who ask if you still loved them if they were a worm etc. Those people are so annoying and prove dumb guestions do, in fact, exist.
