Ribs and Ribbons

Doctor / Reader (SFW)

Summary: Doctor doesn't understand what love is, but somehow he knows that he loves you. This is him trying to encapsulate that messy, terrifying feeling in the bloody, visceral language that he knows so well. The one he's afraid of letting you hear.

Warnings for description of blood, gore and viscera — the reader isn't harmed and Doctor does not want to harm them, he's just learning a feeling he's not used to.

Read on AO3

You are so beautiful like this.

Not just beautiful either— handsome. Adorable. Ethereal even, though Doctor didn't like the idea of equating your visual appeal to something immaterial and metaphorical. He operated on the physical and the real, something he could hold and touch and observe to an almost obsessive degree. You aren't some fairytale or symbolic presence— you are real, a person that he can interact with in ways that his brain understood.

And yet, despite the physicality allowing him a constant excuse to observe and an object of fascination, Doctor is still so utterly confused by you. Confused by the way you make his heart race as though it would leap out of his chest anytime you so much as smiled at him. When you laughed at his jokes. When you listened to his theories. Entertained his questions. Joined in his dry, oftentimes dark humor even when the others didn't find it all that funny.

Those moments contained such serene joy that Doctor wondered if those feelings bubbling up inside of him are why humans could be so religious or spiritual— as if their bodies couldn't contain devotion so large and frightening towards a being outside of themselves that they had to place it elsewhere entirely.

A theory for another time, perhaps. One you might even allow him to ramble on about if the time was right and the evening late enough, with you unable to sleep against the ambiance of the circus— Doctor can never ignore the delight he feels knowing you trust him in such a vulnerable fashion. To sleep unguarded… it spoke volumes of affection that words couldn't do justice.

It isn't normal, after all, for a rabbit to slumber under a wolf's gaze.

@aswwtteatime: To Doctor: are you scared of apples? :>

I don't think I understand the meaning to the question, sweetie. I am not intimidated by any particular fruit.

@will-of-the-wisps: To Everyone: Do you have any allergies (such as medication, food, environments, etc.) that we should be aware of for your safety? Doctor might be more adept to answer this question.

I don't think discussing my patients would be appropriate. Though, if you're curious about me, I can tell you I dislike peaches. They make me itch.

@feral-soup-lives: To Doctor: what is the most beautiful sight you've ever laid eyes on?

Baby rabbits being born. They're adorable. Tiny little things, all white and covered in blood and amniotic fluid. Beautiful.

@artsy-little-mushroom: I have a question for the Doctor As someone who works as an autopsy tech when I am not doing my art, would that be a job you'd be interested in? When someone is found dead they immediately get brought to us IMMEDIATELY after they are found dead, so we work on everything from someone who died 30 min ago to someone who was just found but died months ago. We usually dissect the individual to extract almost organs including the brain

Wait, that's what it's called? Hm... I may have some experience with that. Though I'm still not entirely sure whether the organs go in the refrigerator as well… ah. Forget I said that, sweetie.

@craykaycee: Hello~ oh what fun! Happy anniversary!! Hmmm to Doctor: I'm studying the arts and have trouble depicting anatomy and muscle groups, would you be available to lend a hand to help with my studies?

Once you've opened enough bodies, finding each muscle becomes second nature. They're all exactly where they're supposed to be. I could point them out for you sometime, sweetie.

@unabashedmongerfrienddean...(the rest of the username cut-off): To the Doctor: Based on your observations, why do you think Harlequin goes through the trouble of angering Pierrot? Is it for attention? Or something else? I can't imagine he enjoys being stabbed so much.

Harlequin's judgment becomes unreliable under certain conditions, but It would be inaccurate to describe the behavior as attention-seeking.

@ilsu-yeet-death: To Doctor: do you keep a record on your crew's medical details? Is it difficult to care for everyone when I assume you don't have much overlap with human physiology, or does data on other animal classes make up for that?

Let's just say I maintain rather extensive records, sweetie. However, your assumption is incorrect. I am thoroughly familiar with both human and animal physiology. I've spent many years studying each.

@k4fz1el: To Doctor: Oioi Doutor, eu tenho uma perguntinha pra você!~ Since you're the one who takes care of your family when they're sick or injured, what would happen if you were too unwell to not be able to take care of yourself? Would any of them have enough knowledge to help you?

Notálgico , ouvir esse idioma sweetie. Everyone knows how to handle most situations by now. I've also left detailed notes regarding certain specialized procedures, should they require guidance.

@dismal-angel909: To doctor: Im really into psychology! Its a very fascinating thing, do you think that if you learned how to use it maybe you could give more care (or fear) into your patients? It is a double edged sword if one learned the tricks to the mind!

Psychology is a vast and remarkably complex field. That said, I believe I'm generally capable of communicating the appropriate message to my patients, even without formal expertise in it.

@asewine: To Doctor: I've noticed there are many...dolls? puppets? in your tent--hanging from the ceiling, lying on the floor, everywhere. I happen to be interested in this kind of thing. Could you tell me more about them? Do you have any favorite ones?

sfw optimus x reader drabble — stress relief

Optimus splays his servo through the roots of your hair, cupping the back of your head as you rest your cheek on his chassis. You’re sat on his lap on the Captain’s chair whilst he scrolls through reports with his other servo.

I know Neko said Doctor would be the least kinky one out of the troupe, but what kinks do you think he would have?

(If you answered this before feel free to delete this message! I hope you have a good day! <3)

Ah interesting!

It's funny how some people have assumed, by that kink list, that just because Doctor and TT are the lowest, thus it means they're quite vanilla. i do want to assure ALL of you, that those two are PLENTY kinky! The list is just meant for the kinkiest in the CIRCUS--not in general!

So, what would Doctor's kinks be?

I honestly don't know for sure, but let's guess:

---I think he'd love having his dick between your thighs. It's a constant worry for him, the size of his sex, so this is a good alternative that makes him less worried--rubbing one out between your soft thighs~ he does like the friction.

---I feel like he'd enjoy roleplay, especially if it's not too far off from reality. For instance, if you do help him out with experiments you can easily, for him, be a 'sexy nurse' and it wouldn't be too far fetched from the truth. It would be harder for him to use his imagination like if you two were pirate captains or whatever---so something that's easy for him to understand is best. And you WILL be his cute little nurse~

---Music during sex~ especially metal would be awesome. He might even coordinate his hips to the movements of the music~

---If you want to go darker, I can see him using his 'tools' on you, consensually. This isn't something I prefer to write so you'll have to use your imagination here.

---He loves bondage, but at this point I think all the circus members do LMAO.

♎️banhammer fluff headcanons 💝💞

headcanon count: 15 ; wc: 1100 words tw/cw: none

summary - katana x reader. reader is described to have a broken horn and it's implied to have been some sort of big deal but it's not super detailed

wc - i dunno again. woops

misc - heretic katana ily ... also sorry for any mistakes i love writing tired on a whim. smiles

It was late. The sky had long since turned pitch as the rain continued to pour on and on. Crossroads had fallen quiet for the night, rain driving passerby indoors and locking them inside for the evening. The silence was broken only by the constant pittering of the rain, tapping on the window sill and running down the sides of your apartment building.

Katana couldn't complain. While he stayed at your place rather frequently, he had yet to adjust to the louder bands of night owls that often roamed at this time. It'd keep him up, picking up the faint noise of conversation and movement. It'd keep you up, if only because of his stiffness. The hustle and bustle of the city had long become white noise to you, leaving tonight with a strange absence the rain couldn't fill.

Counting Sheep... So Sleepy....

Internet Findings: I'm in the mood for some fun, we'll do all why not. This'll be headcanons-ish for them though, hope you're alright with that anon because it's only three for each [END SEARCH]

Melee

Sword

🗡 - Sword only meant to sit down for a second after a rigorous training session, you watching him with rapt attention that oozed adoration from each move he expertly followed through. It reminded you of ballet in a way, how each twist he did was graceful and elegant... Almost elegant anyway, he did trip a few times which prompted you to ask if he was fine.

🗡 - When he finally sat down, you leaned against him after a few minutes of chatting, him getting lost in some of the precise techniques he's been trying to master while his hands try and map them out for you. "Get this! Venomshank didn't even tell me about that one- I just thought of it myself, wanted you to be the first to see..." Sword trailer off after a while.

🗡 - You'd think it'd take him a while to notice you passed out on his shoulder, but he actually doesn't. He gives you a kiss to your forehead though, and nestles a bit closer to you for his own resting period. Unfortunately though, he has also realized that he's gonna need to get up soon, so hopefully you're almost done with your nap!

Skateboard

🛹 - Oh Skateboard, if he isn't going what feels like fifty miles and hour and doing tricks that could count as literal dangers. Kinda a menace, but it's fineeeeee it's all gooodddd. Every once and a while you join in on his havoc spree by skateboarding along with him down Craterdust Capital, or the less densely populated parts of Crossroads.

🛹 - It was only after a long ride with the guy did you start to feel a bit more winded then usual, your eyes fluttering a bit as you called out to him to take a small break so you could catch your breath and maybe grab a bite. Skateboard wasn't really one to deny that (especially if it meant a more playful date with you to grab some food), so he agreed pretty quickly.

🛹 - It felt almost picturesque how you slumped on Skateboard's shoulder, the sun setting just so as he took a swig of his drink. It wss something sugary, but it was more so a dull sensation to his already overactive nerves off of you leaning against him. He didn't know if he should wake you up? Let you rest? He'll wake you in five minutes was his eventual answer, but for right now he was letting the moment crystallize and form into something he'd never forget no matter what.

Katana

♦️ - Katana can be... Still. Very still, and while he sees it as a virtue of his to let the time pass until it's right to strike, others see it more so as a small hassle to navigate around. He can be persistent, what can I say? That's why he loves you all the more that you appreciate his way of words, and all of his more reserved nature, bit I'm getting off topic here.

♦️ - Katana was doing some thinking of what he wishes to do late one night, his mind wandering through the possibilities of the future he so desperately wishes to grasp at and hold into his clawed hands, before the Church always found its way into his life. It was only when you plopped down besides him that he snapped out if it, and exchanged a few words that were lost in the air.

♦️ - When you fell asleep from the comforting quiet, Katana got more stiff with his posture. He didn't move that much beforehand with this sort of tranquility that seemed to wash over him, but now he made sure you could sleep soundly while he stayed up just a bit longer. It's funny, but you seem to let his thoughts refocus into the here and now, and how he can cherish and protect you in this moment no matter what comes between you both.

Ban Hammer

🔨 - Ban Hammer doesn't really see you too often because of the whole Warden of what's probably the worst place in the Inpherno, but he tries to make up for it whenever he sees you. Whether that's crushing you with hugs, or smothering you in kisses, or just being his lovable self (both an annoyance and also a compliment somehow.).

🔨 - One of those days where he hasn't come back in a while and very visibly stress out of his mind from the inmates, he practically melted when he got back to you and held you in his arms, "Mhmmmmm... Miss this from ya hon." Ban Hammer mumbled out, his arms wrapped around you as much as possible.

🔨 - The whole falling asleep thing was really just because he's incredibly warm, and he felt so cozy you just had to take the chance and get some rest with him by your side. He might tease you and say that you find him such an irresistible pillow to snooze on, but he won't be able to deny how it genuinely made him smile, and hold you closer to his chest so you could relax.

Biograft

💥 - Biografts are made to be utilized and given orders. What good are they if they can't do something done well and right? Biograft was specifically programmed to help the scientists of Blackrock, and specifically do the tasks of Subspace if it was applicable (or he made them do it, cough cough).

💥 - "I CAN NOT MOVE FROM MY POSITION." Biograft spoke out clearly, its staticy voice not ever breaking as they gave a subtle motion to your form resting on their own metallic one. They've been sitting for so long waiting for a task, when wouldn't you know it? You plopped down right next to it and got way too cozy when the inevitable sleep happened.

💥 - Biograft gave another even "AFFIRMATIVE. I AM UNABLE TO MOVE AT THIS TIME, PLEASE ASK LATER WHEN I CAN COMPLETE A TASK." It knew you needed sleep, being well versed in the status of rest and why it was so beneficial as a person, so they would deny any sort of interaction as long as you were resting. Hopefully the other scientists don't mind as much right?

Ranged

Rocket

💣 - This was actually just a very affectionate day you were having to your beloved partner, wishing for Rocket to know just how much you appreciate him, and know that he's your favorite person in the whole world. Sure it was causing him to scoff and brush your words off like nothing, but with the day he was having after working at the shop with Zuka? This was much appreciated in small ways.

💣 - Rocket didn't really hear the way your voice started to drop and get lower after a long time of cuddling with him and tracing your hands over his face in kind adoration, but he did feel you lean a bit more into him after. "I'm not that much of a pillow am I?" Rocket joked, but you didn't hear the way his laugh got lighter all from being by your side.

💣 - It only was a short amount of time before Rocket picked up the fact that you've fallen asleep next to him, and he snapped out of the more snarky facade to instead try and position you more gently. He really doubted that you wanted to be asleep on his prosthetic arm, since it was kindaaa difficult to rest on because of the metallic edge of it. Once he was sure you were comfortable, he got close to you and didn't even say a word about it when you woke, simply content to be near you.

Slingshot

🍰 - Oh Slingshot... Does he even sit down long enough to actually allow you some rest? He always looked like he was just raring to go once he slipped on his sneakers, and could run miles before he tapped out. Not to say he was irresponsible with that sort of speed per say, he just had lots of things to do and upkeep was no joke for himself... Which is why you volunteered at Thieves' Rest for the day!

🍰 - Honestly, you probably would never again tease him for sometimes being a bit cranky or just generally out of it with what you've had to face in his café. While Slingshot told you it's fine and he's just happy you appreciate him / show so much support, you wanted to help the guy deeper by volunteering there for a bit! Unfortunately you have also realized that WOW these people get nuts without their confections.

🍰 - You both sat down in a small, yet quaint break room Slingshot set up, his smile wide as he gave a kiss to your cheek, "Great job for doing so much, it did help me out a ton!" You were already nodding off from the strain of it a bit, so Slingshot didn't mind that you fell asleep on his arm when you both sat down. He did wait a bit to make sure you're fine, and went back to work with Shuri and Vine.

Hyperlaser

☄️ - Hyperlaser doesn't really have the vocabulary to know what "rest" is like, or at least that's what you joked about with him many times. His mercenary job doesn't allow too much down time for him to relax with you or Princess, as much as he would like to get cozy and pet the lovable cat.

☄️ - Well, it seemed like the Swords graced him with a few minute window before he was back up on his feet again and ready to start tracking the next target. He realized incredibly quickly when you started to drift off on him, his arms loosening their hold of you with a sigh of tender affection, his visor obscuring the smile on his face from how cute you are.

☄️ - Although he couldn't particularly stay with you for your little nap, you did wake up a while later to feel a warm blanket over you, and a note detailing how Hyperlaser would be back soon after he finished up some... "Problems" Blackrock was running into. How sweet, yet if course you could ignore the eerie undertone those problems were referring to.

Shuriken

🌿 - Shuriken is tired, and everyone can see that. Most don't bat an eye to the reasons why (to be fair, he doesn't really tell people of his secret identity as the Silver Shadow) and instead go on about their lives with maybe a question if he's doing fine. Usually it's totally ok, and he gets through the day without fail of even taking a nap. Not this time though.

🌿 - He came back after a short trip around Crossroads as his mysterious alter ego, the darkness engulfing him a soft comfort to the harsh neon lights that were glare from what felt like all angles. What a surprise it was to see you, reading a book and waiting for him on the small couch he shares with his family. He kindaaa forgot you said that you'd visit him, but it wasn't so bad since you already knew about the identity situation.

🌿 - Shuriken also didn't mean to sit down next to you so long, his five minute rest to regroup and think of who to help next turned into watching you get close to him and fall asleep on his shoulder, his weary eyes softening under the low light. It only took him a few seconds before he joined you in rest, arm around you and tight to make sure you're protected.

Scythe

👁 - Have I ever said how cool that mechanical arm Scythe has is? No? Well I'm saying it now, because it is so sick. You think so too, and the amount of times Scythe herself has caught you tracing along the gold details on it, or seeing the grooves it had on her upper forearm. Quite enchanting, and Scythe almost glowed with pride every time you did that to her.

👁 - Well, this was one of those times you got so deep into the circular motions your fingers made on each mechanism that kept it into place, the way her fingers would clench and unclench like a rhythmic procedure only she knew how to direct and flow... It wasn't long before you passed out soundly by her side, hands still on her arm in rapt attention.

👁 - Now of course Scythe knew that you fell asleep, she actually thought it was really cute that you lulled yourself to a resting point all by just running your fingers along her own arm, and she really had to stop the small chuckle that would escape her throat by that thought alone. "Get some good rest, darlin'." Scythe hummed, kissing your forehead as she made sure you wouldn't be messed with in your sleep.

Support

Medkit

💉 - You already know Medkit, his nightmares plague him constantly and it's almost more frequent that he snaps out of his dreams with nothing more than a tired sigh before he tries to go back to sleep as soundly as possible, or stays up for the rest of the night with some coffee to greet the rising sun.

💉 - You were giving some comfort to him after one of these bad nights of his, never pressing him to speak more than what he wished to say over the swirling miasma of wakefulness and dizzy haze of sleep that still pulled at his eyelids. He felt so bad that you woke up in response to his more sporadic tossing and turning, but you assured him that you don't mind, and that you just want to help him get through this no matter the cost of your sleep. He means the world to you, and you have no clue what he'd do for you in return.

💉 - You were more tired than you realized, so as much as you wished to be up with him longer to talk and watch the stars dip into the early morning sky, you needed sleep. You did fall back to sleep right on his arm, and Medkit couldn't help the way his heart clenched at the sight of your face so peacefully in rest. It wasn't long after he joined you, his arms even in his dreams wrapped securely around you to Gove you warmth in some way.

Boombox

🎵 - Boombox absolutely loved music, that is no surprise when you see the following he's built up all by his own musical prowess. Now, of course you absolutely support him through and through with his journey, but you do remind him to take breaks when applicable or desperately needed.

🎵 - Well, on one of the days you wanted to help Boombox out with the mixing and a few of the instrumentation of his latest song, you didn't realize just how late into the night you'd be going at it. Sure there was more up tempo beats in the background, but all the energy was starting to seriously wear you down to the point of exhaustion...

🎵 - Boombox smiled gently at you, finally taking off his visor and letting his eyes be seen for once in so long that he's been up. You were sleeping peacefully by his side, Boombox starting to make sure his and your work was saved and ready for another day as he shut everything off. Maybe it was time for rest now anyway, he felt his eyes start to droop by the second.

Subspace

💊 - Another one of those lengthy research / experimentation days, you could definitely clock when Subspace was getting more and more into the "Mad scientist" zone by taking one glance at his posture and how he conducted himself with his fellow peers (that he swore were below him on so many levels), and how he interacted with his object of intrigue.

💊 - It was more so by chance, and admittedly some deep worry, that you ran into Subspace in his lab, tinkering with the newest project of his that you heard the mutterings would "Change Blackrock as we know it!!". While it sounded great and all, you wanted to make sure he wasn't losing his mind from being so deep into his findings that he didn't talk to someone else, and that he was also taking care of himself by proxy.

💊 -"BIOGRAFT!!! Fetch the blankets and pillows for my dearest here!!" Although shrill, Subspace did have the presence of mind to try and keep his voice down so you could doze sweetly by his side. Subspace muttered something about how slow the hunk of metal is getting, before snatching the blankets and such when the robot came over.

Vine Staff

🌸 - Vine Staff's curse works in very mysterious ways, well to others that is. She has the tendency to grow different plants on her wooden arm for a bit as a small hobby of hers, and not to mention the whole light communing with the flora she comes across?? Over the moon you are for your wonderful partner, and you make sure she's not embarrassed by her curse despite the unfortunate circumstance to be born with it.

🌸 - Vine Staff was steadily growing some flowers on her arm, being careful to not overdo it and cause a strain on herself in the mid afternoon sun. You were beside her and watching with wide eyes, seeing sparks of color before blooming into a pastel pink shade, lavenders curling along her fingertips as she gave a deep inhale. "There we go..." Vine Staff spoke out with a sigh, happy to have been able to control it a bit more.

🌸 - With all the floral scents, you got so cozy next to her that it was almost second nature (ha) to have fallen asleep with the perfume scents of roses and daffodils hitting your lungs. Vine Staff found it cute, and although she planned to give you the bouquet she grew, she just made a mental note to give it later when you woke up.

Coil

💎 - With the crystal stealing Coil does, he makes sure he doesn't come by your place when either Subspace's own metal scraps are chasing him, or something else equally annoying is on his tail. He may not take much seriously, but your safety? He's not dense, he knows when to not press his luck in getting caught or not.

💎 - After a long time of getting chased around and hitting blows to Biografts, Coil finally found a period where he could maybe get a break and sit with you for a short while. Now that's where he is now, sitting next to you and gloating about how starry-eyed you would have gotten if you just saw the sick tricks he pulled off on a Biograft's head. "Pfttt, it was hilarious! Didn't even get a claw on me." Coil flexed his arms, prompting you to laugh in response of his antics.

💎 - You both talked for so long, he almost didn't catch you drifting off to sleep. Maybe it wss the way you just... Trusted him so easily despite the bravado he put on as a front, but it really made some part of him melt in your sleepy embrace. The infamous Hellhound might as well get some rest himself right?

Só se você quiser... >_>

Already just gave NSFW Doctor headcanons in the post below this one, so here are some SFW ones---but eh....who knows...i'm weak...some could be NSFW....who the fuck knows.

SFW BUT HEY MYB SOME NSFW DOCTOR HEAADCANONS:

---He has no preference when it comes to physical beauty between monsters and humans, all bodies are fascinating to him. However, if you are an interesting subject AND a kind person to him, he will practically worship your body with the edge of his sharp claws and predator beak.

---His tongue will have to suffice when it comes to kissing. Even for other monsters this can be a tad off-putting, but what can he do? He doesn't have lips. However, seeing that YOU'RE ok with it makes him happy. He loves how accepting you are even if the first few attempts are awkward. Eventually, you two find your rhythm and his tongue finds your esophagus. You might get laryngitis from this tbh.

---Expect a lot of hugs from the guy if he REALLY likes you. Especially if you're his favorite. Better so if you can make him laugh regularly. Even the other circus members will be shocked at how at ease Doctor is around you. Jester of all creatures would have to admit that Doctor is much happier with you around, especially as he sees you getting bear-hugged in the middle of dinner because you just looked so cute to the Doctor that he had to squeeze you.

---Doctor would love it if you redecorated his PERSONAL tent (as his cyan one is for the customers). However, he would appreciate you way more if you asked him before moving around his things and what you should/shouldn't touch. But if you know him well, just display his most adorable plushies/figurines alongside your own, find some cute bedding for the nest, and he'll melt when he comes home to see it all~

---Sit in his lap. Just do it. At first he won't understand why, but he'll find your warmth comforting and soon it becomes your new seat. Doctor will get so used to it that he'll even put aside a chair meant for you at the table just so that he can hold you close to him longer.

Me and the other 3 doctor fans are being fed well from your hcs and writings I hope you know X)

DOCTOR NSFW HEADCANONS:

---His cock is so big and so unusual that he's accepted that he might never have sex. Sure, he's had interested parties here and there (likely invitations from Harlequin), but even with the experienced menace, Doctor warns him that he might tear the poor snake apart with his massive appendage. Still, Doctor has found that there are other ways to receive pleasure rather than penetrative sex. He'd appreciate getting to learn all those ways~ especially, perhaps, from his favorite human assistant~

---It'd likely take two or three mouths to properly cover his cock for oral sex. So be prepared to use your hands and maybe even thighs to get him off. You also might want to consider recruiting other monsters in the circus who'd be happy to help, assuming Doctor is open to it. Regardless, the birb will gently hold your head and fall to his knees if you press your mouth against him. He's never felt such wet heat, there, of all places~ You're going to make him burn up as though he has a fever if you keep going~

---When you touch him in certain places, he already knows you want to mate. Birds have very specific erogenous zones, more so, they have areas of their body that indicate you want to FUCk. So when you pat him on the back for a good day's work---be careful. You might find yourself on YOUR back as he spreads your legs, and presses his thumb against your jeans to see if he can catch more of that delicious scent from between your legs~

---At first, when you propose wanting to have sex, he tilts his head to the size and grabs a thermometer from his table to see if you have a fever. It's already shocking to him that you're not afraid of his magnificent appearance, but now you want....intimacy? How odd......but....also .....nice. Doctor will be very gentle with you if that's what you choose, his body however is not made for gentleness---so sharp in so many places. He will thus allow YOU to take the lead, if you're human, eyeing and questioning your every move as though he were taking notes of your exploratory mission. Expect him to grunt and groan while wanting to know why kissing his neck appeals to you~

I have wanted to ask that it that fine if you can do a cannon for doctor please. (*＾3＾)/～☆

SURE THING!

Doctor Headcanons!!!

---He loves cute things, LOVES THEM. Adorable plushies, miniatures, cute baked goods. He and Pierrot actually get along somewhat because of this mutual love of all things sweet and adorable.

---New discoveries get him going! He will drop everything, even a thought in the middle of a sentence if he has an epiphany. As such, Jester has suggested he keep a note pad with him at all times to write down his thoughts instead of rushing to his tent, getting feathers everywhere.

---Monsters like Doctor have difficulties that most others don't. It's not so easy for him to just 'go outside' and pick-up something from the store. While Harlequin, Jester, and Pierrot don't pass as well as TicketTaker does, they are at least much more humanoid than Doctor is--forcing him to often stay inside in secluded places.

---Doctor doesn't like violence, not as much as some of his family members do, but he will use it to defend his home if need be.

---The Doctor carries measuring tape with him at all times. You never know when someone's skull might unexpectedly grow a few sizes, right?

---Harlequin is his favorite and most willing test subject, to which he is grateful. Now Doctor know that attempt #431 for a hair growth serum results in dizziness, fatigue, and the need to lay eggs in the nearest hole.

---Contrary to how it seems, he really does clean his gloves a lot---blood is just a pain to get out. However, he does scrub as best he can, though thankfully dried blood stains only help sell the circus's horror motif.

---Contrary to how it seems, he really does clean his gloves a lot---blood is just a pain to get out. However, he does scrub as best he can, though thankfully dried blood stains only help sell the circus's horror motif.

Hm!!!! Gonna assume for each one that they're in love with you and you them, ok?

Pierrot: WILL BE DEVASTATED. He won't understand what just happened at first. Why.....why would you do that? Don't you know that HE'S supposed to protect you? Not the other way around! No....no! You can't be hurt! YOU HAVE TO BE OK! He'll take you to Doctor! That's it....that's it---Doctor will know what to do. and--and once you're all better, Pierrot will never make sure you get hurt again. Never. (and yes he killed the person that hurt you, like you even have to ask).

Harlequin: He'd be similarly as shocked---he'd stand there, frozen. Seeing your body on the ground resemble an old memory of blood stained pink satin. He grabs the person who hurt you, and his voice changes---it goes octaves deeper and has the rumble of a kraken ready to emerge from the sea. He will take all his anger, pain and frustration out on this human---hours later, when you are ok in recovery, he will act like nothing happened and tell you how foolish you were---to never...ever.....EVER do that again.

Doctor: He'd be touched, truly---but also immediately, without even thinking, have eaten the head of the person who hurt you. Their body falls, headless and bleeding as Doctor's feathers coat you like a warm bed---he takes you and the body far away from here---keeping you still, keeping you safe. He will work on you all night if he must. You will be ok. You HAVE to be.....also....he can experiment on this dead human now...but priorities--you come first.

TicketTaker: He doesn't comprehend it---a human....saving him? It's never happened before, not outside of stories that is. Not that TT had ever heard of. All those moments he doubted your loyalty, disrespected you, assumed the worst--all come crashing in through his retina as though lemon juice were squired into his eyes. He immediately drags the human who hurt you into his mirrors---he will deal with it later. You are the top priority now--if only because he finally believes you.

Please, I'll take whatever lore crumbs about this bird man you've got

Let's see what I can share about him...

He's one of the ones who sleeps the least

When he's really excited or daydreaming, he usually talks to that... doll in his tent; Harlequin always finds it fun to watch

Whenever he notices one of his companions looking tired or a little under the weather, he’s the first to step in and encourage them to rest.

He’s very skilled and precise at cutting meat, since he practically knows by heart where every bone is so he can avoid them or cut them properly The first circus performer he came across wasn't in very good condition, which made him move closer

Pierrot 

Pierrot kisses with passion, as if every word he wants to say to you communicates through his lips. All of his kisses mean something. They are deliberate and careful and always lingering. You can feel the “I love you,” and the “I’m sorry.”

Pierrot will always let you set the pace, molding to whatever you desire at the moment. Regardless of pace, they are always reverent and worshipful. You will always be treated like something precious to him, because you are. 

Even as the kisses grow deeper and the touches more passionate, he will never be rough with you unless you ask. Pierrot’s kisses are for you and you alone.

Pierrot often has you pinned down, his hand laced with yours. He loves being as close as possible, two bodies connected into one. If you are standing, one hand is along your jaw, thumb brushing your cheek, the other desperately balled in your top. He wants nothing more than to grab you, consume you, but he adores you too much to rush you. 

When you are feeling extra passionate, he will let his tongue slip past your lips and dance with yours. Just making out with you will, frankly, cause him to…reach his pinnacle.

The more you escalate, the more he will follow, allowing tongues and teeth to clash, playing a game of dominance, and chasing rewards.

In the end, any kiss from you is a kiss from heaven for Pierrot. And you can feel how vulnerable he is because of it. 

Harlequin

Pure sin and sweet innocence all wrapped in one.

Harlequin has the utmost confidence. He knows what he's doing and knows what will pull the sweetest sounds from you. He will chuckle playfully as if this were just chance, but no, Harlequin knows you and your body. He feeds off any response you give him.

His kisses almost always start playfully, dodging your lips, brief presses, and just brushing across your mouth. His goal is to make you want more. But once you lock lips, he is all-consuming.

Harlequin also loves using his hands, letting them grip your face, purse your lips by squeezing your cheeks, or, his favorite, grabbing your neck. He will let his claws dig into your waist a little too hard, so that you squeak and open your mouth for him.

And his tongue…have you seen it?

When he’s feeling extra needy, the sharpness that usually is Harlequin turns messy. More urgent, less performative, and more desperate.

Despite his insane amount of bravado, there is a softness to Harlequin that not many get to see. He will rest his forehead against yours afterwards and grin, pressing small, sweet kisses to your swollen lips, letting his breath fan across your face. Those small kisses will land on your nose, your cheek, and eventually your forehead.

You make Harlequin feel wanted when you accept his kisses, and he will always be grateful for that.

Doctor

Doctor is very curious and always experimental. No two kisses will be exactly alike from him. He learns what causes you to moan and adapts, maybe the next time he tries sliding his hand down to your ass, just to see what happens. Every reaction is stored away for him to refer to the next time he sweeps you into a kiss. 

Expect him to dominate the kiss. Not in an aggressive way. And good god not in a bad way (fear not, there will not be too much teeth or too much tongue from him). But he dominates in a way that shows he knows what he’s doing and he’s happy to give. 

He loves when you smile into a kiss or even giggle from a simple peck. But he craves the sound of your gasp when he pulls away from exploring your mouth. The starstruck look in your eyes as you stare at him; a small, satisfied smile tugging at your lips drives him insane. And when your lips are swollen from his kisses? Oh, it’s over. He’s going back in for more and good luck stopping him

When it comes to you, he’s greedy. He’d never admit it aloud, fearing the others would find out somehow and use it against him (can’t let a single vulnerability slip in that circus), but you better believe he wants more and more and more from you. As much as he can have. As much as you’ll give him. And he loves testing the boundaries. (Again, he’s experimental).

But he’s not just a freaky freak, trust. He loves to experiment with the intimacy of kissing you as well. He’ll press his lips to yours at night before the two of you fall asleep, rolling toward you in the darkness of his tent to experience the tingling of his lips against yours one more time before you go to sleep. 

Some (you) could argue that he’s the best kisser at the circus, though some (you) might just be biased because Doctor is so good at conforming to your wants and needs.

Jester

Now this guy’s a freaky freak right here. (bun: get a load of this guy, am I right? You: I’M TRYING)

One thing about Jester (and trust me, he’s a close personal friend) is that his hand is going to be in your hair, controlling you, guiding you, directing you. He loves your hair and he loves playing it, twirling a few locks around a claw-tipped finger. And he loves the moments where his hand slides up the back of your neck, lips hovering just above yours until his hand tangles in your hair.

His grip would depend on the type of kiss. If it’s soft and light, maybe even playful as he lips at your bottom lip, then his grip would be loose. You’ll still be heavily aware of his grasp on you, but he’ll give you some semblance of control while you sucks your bottom lip into your mouth, slowly running his tongue along the area his teeth bit down.

But if the kiss is rough and desperate, then expect a tight grip on your hair. He’ll pull you back if you try to lean in for more without his permission. He’ll make you wait for him, taunting and teasing as his lips ghost over yours. Back and forth until you’re trembling and begging. He’ll whisper sweet nothings to you, his lips passing over yours with every word.

And when Jester is finally ready to dive in (and only when he’s ready), he’ll tighten his grip and turn your head at the perfect angle for him to devour you. During the kiss his tongue will dominate your mouth, caressing every inch with a fervor that leaves your skin burning. 

And he won’t let go of you easily. Once he’s decided he wants a taste of you, it’s impossible to stop him. He could spend hours lost in the softness of your lips and the irresistible sounds of your moans. To him, you’re delectable and he’s not interested in releasing you.

Ticket taker

Respectful, polite, well-mannered. Maybe even a little bit rigid, especially at first. He never entirely loses the rigidity because that’s just who he is, but he softens up with you over time. Though, it might take him…quite a while. Months, at least.

Even more so, Ticket taker is not very experienced in the way of kissing. So, every moment with you will be a learning experience.

The more he warms up to you, the more you might unlock new sides to him even he didn’t know he had. Or was capable of. 

His kisses might become more spontaneous, but never anything too risky. Just a quick peck in the presence of the other clowns of the circus. Something he would’ve never been capable of before out of fear of perception. He’s not nervous to be seen kissing you, but he’s territorial. And controlling, of course. No one else should get to see such an intimate moment.

In moments of relaxation between the two of you, far from any prying eyes, Ticket taker might let himself explore the raw burning passion simmering in his chest every time he looks at you. He’ll become bold, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you onto his lap (where you fit perfectly, according to him) and kissing you like his life depends on it.

And oh boy, did you never think you’d see the day he kissed you like that. It’s unexpected but completely welcome as you acclimate to his slow, soul-rattling rhythm. So intimate and so unlike his usual decorum. A pleasant surprise.
