#aranea x reader

Thank you for the ask! I actually had to do some research for this one since she’s one of the few homestuck characters I’m not too familiar with. I know her character basics and who she is, but I never explored her character in detail, so this was fun to do! Sorry if anything is ooc or inaccurate because of it.

If you want to ask again feel free! Just always make sure to read my requesting info post at the top of my introduction post. It’s pinned at the top of my blog.

Gn reader since gender wasn’t specified.

TW: mentions of death, harm, and sickness. Nothing graphic or crazy but it’s all mentioned so be aware!

MDNI!!

Let’s get into it!

—

- A diva. A queen. A woman who knows how to treat someone right.

- Aranea is a good listener and clear headed, but she’s always got a snarky remark to throw.

- She’s very protective of the relationship you two have and doesn’t let other people’s opinions affect how you two love each other.

- She loves it when you wear her sign. I have a headcanon (don’t know if it’s canon lmao) that wearing the sign of the troll it represents is liiiike a mark of some kind? Like “I’m taken” and it’s like a cute lil matching romance thing. She melts into a pile of goo when you do.

- Aranea has unparalleled psychic abilities, moving planets and controlling an army with nothing but her mind. What does she use these powers for when she’s with you?

- Well, obviously to float you up to shelves you can’t reach, or carrying you when your feet get tired, doing chores with you, etc.

- This troll could level cities but instead uses her abilities to help you and make you feel loved.

- Like most trolls, she loves when she can put you in a pile she’s made.

- Let her dump you on top of one, it’ll make her year.

- She doesn’t want you to meet like- half of her “friends” (could they really be considered friends?)

- You eventually do no doubt and she’s so embarrassed.

- Like, Latula, Porrim, Mituna, and Meenah are okay. They’re nice most of the time, maybe a bit mean spirited or judgmental, but they’re good friends.

- On the other hand, Cronus immediately tries to put moves on you, Kankri starts lecturing you about whatever, Kurloz and Meulin are high as kites in the background, like- it’s just a mess.

- You took it in stride and made it out alive. Meenah liked you though! And that’s saying something!

- Aranea loves when you listen. While they may be bottom of the barrel standards, it’s what she truly seeks out in a partner. She’s constantly ignored and talked over and appreciates how you actually take the time to remember what she says and consider her point of view. It’s like- her main love language.

- Let her do your makeup. She’ll sit in your lap and brush on pretty colors and shades, making your face warm with how close she is and how delicate she’s being with you.

- Assuming you’re a human and not a troll, she’s constantly worried about you. Humans are such fragile creatures compared to trolls! They die at the drop of a hat! A lot! It’s concerning!

- You get the flu one time. High fever, throwing up occasionally, lots of drainage and general bad times.

- She freaks out so bad she calls Porrim, the one with a “relative” who’s dating a human.

- Porrim (after talking to Kanaya) ensures that you’ll heal up just fine and all this hubbub is your body fighting off the sickness. You should sweat it out in a few days and be just fine. You’ll even be stronger because of it!

- This settles Aranea’s nerves enough to take care of you properly. She helps you eat, bathe, clean, just overall taking over until you’re better.

- She’s so relieved when you perk up again. Now when you get sick she doesn’t freak out as much, but she’ll always worry at heart.

- Coffee dates are a definite go to with her, but she also likes doing spontaneous things with you. This could be randomly going to the fair, driving out to random places you found online, trying restaurants you’ve never gone to before, etc.

- Loves to sit in comfortable silence with you while she reads.

- Oh my god if you got her a book? Like one she’s been eyeing or the next part in one of her favorite series? IF YOU SAW IT AND GENUINELY THOUGHT SHE’D ENJOY IT? She’s gonna kiss you stupid.

- Be prepared she’s not afraid of physical affection. She’ll respect your boundaries of course, but she loves hanging onto your arm or linking her arm with your’s.

- She’d really like it if you doodled on her. You don’t even have to be an artist or good at art, she loves silly little doodles all over her arms if you put them there.

- Lipstick staining your skin. She wears a really dark shade of navy blue so it’ll show up no matter the color of your skin.

- She loves leaving a big smooch mark on your forehead.

- she paints her claws a similar color and will paint your’s if you’re nearby.

- She’s an early bird and if you’re not she’ll let you sleep in, but she’ll wake you up before it gets too late.

- Always splits snacks with you and gives you the bigger half.

- Treat her like a princess! Hold the door open for her, open her car door, take her hand when she’s walking up and down steps, give her your jacket, flowers, the whole nine yards! She swoons over that shit.

- Probably has a secret obsession with fantasy themed romance novels.

- Another headcanon! Trolls shed layers of their horns every year, which makes em a tad bigger. It explains why some trolls horns are so big, like GHB. Aranea would be so grateful if you helped with the shedding process. You’d just be peeling away the parts she can’t really see or reach, but it’s a nice bonding moment.

- She and you hung out with her friends again and it was a disaster.

- Cronus wouldn’t leave you alone and people telling him off went in one ear and out the other.

- Aranea psychic’d him into the closest wall. Full force. No hesitation.

- It was incredibly hot.

- You swooned. Ugh. Love a strong, psychic diva.

- Meulin likes to tease you about how in love you guys are and Cronus avoids you like the plague now. Good riddance.

That’s it for now! Hope you enjoyed!

Have a nice day and stay safe!

Yandere Aranea Headcanons

-She would be an obsessive yandere all the way. Her focus would be knowing everything she can about you and keeping you close to her so that she can see every trait of yours in action.

-It would be impossible to escape from someone with as much knowledge, foresight, and luck as Aranea. Any attempt you would make would be intercepted by her, every chance you take to escape will only work in her favor.

-Because of this, she wouldn't restrain you quite as much as most yanderes would. After all, if she knows everything you could do and knows how to intercept it, she might as well let you be comfortable in her hive with her.

-She could be cruel if you continuously disobey her and try to escape. It would only happen if you managed to annoy her with your resistance. At that point, she would likely punish you physically for attempting to resist her wishes.

-Ordinarily though, she'd be kind to you. She'd be very affectionate, and so long as you're willing to listen to her talk without getting annoyed at her, your captivity won't be horrible.

Absolutely! Poly dates are the cutest!

Aranea and Damara!

Dates with them include mostly listening to Aranea ramble about her interests while cuddling up with Damara

Damara is a lot more interested in having your head on her lap so she can kiss you and play with your hair, and until Aranea feels left out, she's all focused on you

Later on, it slowly turns into a cuddle pile, with you spooning Aranea and Damara letting you both lay on top of her

Damara keeps a hand tangled on your hair while kissing the top of Aranea's head

If things calm down and Aranea prefers to stop talking, it can either be a quiet time with all of you sleeping while holding each other or you can all watch a movie together

Damara enjoys horror and action movies, mostly so she feels like she's protective both of you through scary or gory scenes

I actually think Aranea is growing on me, as much as I hate to admit it.

ARANEA WITH A S/O WHO LOVES HER RAMBLES

♏ When you tell her you love her rambles, her face gets a soft blue. She's blushing.

♏ "Ah....yes, thank you then, Y/N...."

♏ She finds your voice soothing, too. But, now that you've told her you like her voice/like listening to her, she won't hold back.

♏ She'll be a lot comfier going on knowledge spills around you, a big grin on her face as she does so.

♏ She gets really into it, too. Getting prouder and bolder as she speaks. She just loves sharing her knowledge.

💙 Because of Aranea's psychic abilities, she basically knows what people are feeling all the time, which might be annoying sometimes, but it's pretty useful when you're in a relationship, she will immediately know when you're feeling down, or something is bothering you, and help you trought it.

♏ She might be a little self absorbed sometimes, but you're one of the people she really values the opinion off, so it's not unusual for people to come for you when they think she's being a drag, go pick your girlfriend up please.

🕸 Since you're one of the only ones who actually don't mind listening to her, she's never going to shut up anymore, she likes to tell you all different kinda of stories, and always asks what you tought of them later, if you like some specific type of history, she's gonna focus on telling you these.

💙 Since she's God tier sometimes she likes to give you a little lucky boost to make your day better, of course she pretends she doesn't do anything, but she's not exactly a good liar, if you happen to be lucky one day, it's probably because of her.

♏ Super interested in humans, and will make you tell hes about humanity as much as possible, she eventually ends up looking for some information about human romance, so that she can take you on a "classic human date" brings you a gif as well, she's trying to impress you, please compliment her.

I wanted to make a playlist for this request…but there’s just too many songs to choose from. Link playlists in the comments for FFXV x reader love songs if you got them!

Every single love song on the radio.

Aranea

Knows every word to the raunchiest rap songs going and teases you with them,

A/N: I miss doing writing streams... But since life has been so bloody busy lately, I had forgotten to post this little drabble for @mogquicksilver​ - They’d asked for a flirty smooch from our favorite Commodore and I hope you like this. [Sorry too that this took me absolute AGES to post.] Characters: Aranea Highwind/Reader (Gender Neutral) Warnings: None Word Count: 562 Summary: There was no harm in flirting. Specially with a woman you had come to admire. You just didn’t expect that she would beat you at your own game.

Frustration. Yeah that was a good word for how Aranea was making you feel. 

Sure, there was no harm in flirting with the Commodore, but you were one to also think that she was way out of your league. A snowball's chance in hell if you will. It was something you did in passing, you were kind of flirty with everyone, you just were completely caught off guard. 

And yet there you were, staring at her with slightly wide eyes and a hanging open mouth as she flirted back with you.

“Something wrong, Kid?”

Snapping your mouth shut you shook your head before giving her what you had hoped was your best charming smile. “No? Why would there be?”

Aranea laughed softly. “Nice  recovery, Sunshine.”

You felt your face grow warm at the pet name. “Ah, no. Not really, I’m usually better at this to be honest.”

“Are you?” she gave you a charming smile of her own. “You could have fooled me.” 

Rolling your eyes you gently pushed your shoulder against hers, since she’d taken the seat next to you at the bar. “Whatever. Can’t help it that I’m flustered speechless around a pretty lady.”

“Oh, so now you’re pulling out the classic ones huh?”

“Hey! Classic pickup lines are totally tried and true! Got you to stick around a bit longer didn’t it?”

Aranea laughed again at you and tilted her head to look at you a bit more properly. “Maybe, then again I could have just been trying to make you feel better.”

Huffing softly you shake your head before grinning at her. “Something tells me that you like the attention.” and you turned yourself to face her a bit more, leaning your arm against the bar. “Or am I wrong?”

Suddenly Aranea was in your space, her face a few inches from your own, and you couldn’t help but hold your breath at the action. “You’d not be wrong, Sunshine,” she purred to you, her hand reaching up to pet her finger slowly along your jaw. “But I’m thinking the feelings are mutual...”

Your eyes dipped down to her lips then back up before you swallowed hard. “You’re not wrong.”

“Uh-huh,” Aranea grinned at you as she leaned just a bit closer, and lightly brushed her lips near the corner of your mouth. 

Inhaling sharply you held your breath again, your eyes fluttering at the action before you felt her move away, and you felt warmth creep to your ears when you realized you were leaning after her. Snapping your eyes all the way open, you cleared your throat, quickly moved your hand to the back of your neck to rub it a little, as you gave her your best charming smile. 

Giving you a smile that you swore made your heart skip a beat, she placed her hand over yours, gave it a squeeze as she pushed off the bar. “I’ll see you around, Sunshine.”

“Huh?”

Before you could say anything else Aranea gently waved at you over her shoulder as she worked her way into the crowd, and you sighed. You’d not even gotten the chance to--it was then you glanced down at the bar, finding not only your tab paid for, but a card with her number and her name next to it, and once again your heart fluttered in your chest. 

Noctis Lucis Caelum

He is OFFENDED the moment you either say it casually or let it slip. After all he's the one who suggested playing the game together to spend time together, only for you to proclaim your love for one of the characters. To think you'd fall for someone that's not him and admit to it just like that? Preposterous. 

In his mind he knows it's all fictional and you truly love him. His heart however? It knows a thing or two about jealousy from even one offhand comment about your new fave video game spouse. There are of course doubts here and there over just how much you truly love him but he tries to ignore them. Success varies depending on his current peace of mind. As best as he tries to keep this jealousy up under wraps, it's hard for Noctis to not subconsciously pout over it. 

He knows you love him more than that person on the television screen but sometimes knowing for himself isn't enough and you telling him that your love for him is far greater if not entirely incomparable to that of a fictional character. He knows it's petty and childish, but he will be smug about it. Perhaps even a "Take that!" directed at them. 

Takes up to teasing you over it. "Oh look, there's your Prince not as charming as me." whenever they appear on screen. No, the pillow to the face won't shut him up no matter how many times you throw it at him. 

Prompto Argentum

He is distraught. Shaken. His own chocobae betraying him like this, in his own home no less. He is quickly reduced into a mess faster than you can add onto your passing comment; "Man I think I'm falling for this character.". He believes his entire love life career has ended then and there. Prompto has been trying to play the game of love and he just got a fatality. 

He's known jealousy towards characters before, wishing he was as cool or as smart as them in the past but now he's found a new type: your affection for them. He puffs out his chest and attempts to be ten times cooler ten times braver and ten times more badass than his newfound rival and it's hard for him to be subtle about it. 

Prompto does need to be told that it's only a passing fictional crush and your love for him outshines the crush for this character, and always will. Sure they're neat but he's the whole cake with a cherry on top.

Apologises weeks later for his crisis because he progressed further in the game and fell in love with a separate character and understands precisely how you feel. You two bond over your fictional crushes and holding their hands while lounging on Prompto's couch holding each other's hands. 

Gladiolus Amicitia

He is indifferent. Partially indifferent. The other part is mildly offended he now has competition he can't square up with face to face. Can this character hold you in their arms? Give you kisses? Take you on long hikes? No? Then what's the point of loving them when he's right there ready to do all that and more. 

He can't say much though. He plays a ton of fighting games (and mostly got good at them to wipe the floor with Noctis whenever they played against each other) and Astrals know how many times he's felt a little swoon over either lady or man who could snap his spine in half with no effort. Not to count the same crushes with the same standards from the plethora of books he's read. To protest your crush would make him a hypocrite and Gladiolus most certainly isn't one. 

Not to say he doesn't slip in "Bet they can't love you as much as I do." and bringing you closer without a warning and smothering you with all the love only he can give. Nope, not jealousy. Not one bit. "You realise I love you more right?" you ask and he just beams like he heard it for the first time again. 

Much like Noctis he will relentlessly tease you over this. No you can't shut him up. No he won't stop. No shoving a pillow in his face won't work like with Noctis and he'll dodge it. But Astrals forbid you find out about his own pile of fictional crushes because it works wonders as a counterattack. 

Ignis Scientia 

Mostly confused over literal pixels managing to get your affection. Not that he blames you considering his schedule offers little free time but he can't help but find himself… Thinking. The day he admits this "thinking" is his cover up for sulking is the day he will die. A small, horrible little thought wonders if you're finally falling out of love with him. Again, he won't blame you due to his work. 

As silly as it is Ignis admits he feels jealousy. To himself only of course. He would rather die than let anyone else know that some fictional person has his heart in a twist over you. Him being so in control over his emotions is his triumph, but after it's been eating away at him after a while it becomes his downfall. 

"Did you really think I'd legitimately choose anyone over you?" comes your response after he finally decides to open up what's causing his most recent fowl mood. He knows it's silly. He assumes you know he knows it's silly. Yet hearing those words has him beaming. Hiding the self assured smug smile becomes harder with each passing second. 

Won't tease you as bad as Noctis and Gladio, but does make a passing comment every now and then. Though instead of teasing you over your crush, it's more in the ilk of "A shame they're not there to hold you like I am." 

Lunafreya Nox Fleuret 

She is FLOORED. What do you mean you love them? And what is she? A worm to you? She will be pouting about this and she will be miffed you can't take her seriously when she looks cute doing anything, including pouting. A shame she is very much so guilty of the same thing. You distinctly remember her talking about some muscle bound sword wielding girl in a television show a day before and how dreamy she was, and a week before about some ditzy male character in a book she found cute. She won't win this. 

Jealous? Absolutely. Does she try to hide it? Yes and the keyword is try. You easily tell what's up when she's frowning at the television and that character appears. She'll have her few attempts at denying anything but finally caves in and admits that she does in fact envy your feelings for a bunch of pixels no matter how small the affection. 

Knows she shouldn't need reassuring that you love her most but that doesn't stop her from revelling it when you confess your undying love. You can tell by the slight puffing up of her chest that she feels a GREAT sense of victory over this. 

It's just back and forth teasing and both your fictional crushes turn into a battlefield. It's all a game who can get the other flustered worse and sadly there are no winners when you both end up a mess. It's all good, and the scores are always settled by cuddles right after the battle is fought. 

Ravus Nox Fleuret 

Frankly he is offended. Granted you cannot tell by his disgruntled look that seems to be ever prevalent no matter his current internal turmoil. He is right there in the flesh and you're fawning over pixels? He just doesn't get it and refuses to. Immediately takes the leap to conclusions and assumes you truly don't love this mess of a man anymore. Laments over his continuous loss and begins coming to terms with his fate of being unloved. 

Tries not to be passive aggressive over it but it turns out it’s something easier said than done. Somehow he manages to perfectly convey it without any words - just glaring an impressive amount of daggers at the television screen. Hasn’t felt this jealous since that time before he could even muster up the courage to confess to you and he found out some random Niflheim soldier was chatting you up. At least then his competition was tangible. How was he to prove himself over some funky colours on the screen? 

The cat’s finally out of the bag and your suspicions are confirmed when he makes his first ever direct remark: “What’s so great about them anyways.”. His tone absolutely takes you aback; he sounds like a sibling who received a second less worth of attention from a parent. Ravus has to get affirmation that you do in fact love him a whole lot more. Ravus will revel in this little fun fact - or would smug be a better word? 

Cannot tease you without feeling jealousy creeping up and he absolutely hates himself for it. And so instead you get little offhand comments such as “Let them best me in a duel and we will see who wins your hand in marriage.” No varying levels of exasperation in your sigh will deter him, he will refuse to relent. 

Ardyn Lucis Caelum

For the most part he is confused. Didn’t really think someone could catch a bad case of the feelings for a fictional character but sometimes it’s best some questions go unanswered. Jealousy? In my Ardyn? It’s… less likely than you think. He knows for a FACT whoever this person is on the screen cannot even begin to compare to what he has. Perhaps their one redeeming factor is not being a walking talking daemon parade and being able to not sting in sunlight but that’s not enough to outshine this package. 

Doesn’t stop him from making a big show out of it all. He sees the chance to dramatically drape himself over your lap, lamenting how his one love has been snatched away by this stranger. The antics cannot and will not end. 

Doesn’t really need confirmation that you do in fact love him more, but appreciates it when you say it nonetheless. That’s simply proving him right and the only thing he loves more than being right is you. The second bonus is more smugness to throw around. “Oh I pity that poor soul, never knowing what true love feels like. Unlike me, of course.”. 

And a pity for you, because he’s found a new weaponised way to tease you with. A whole ten miles farther than Noctis or Gladio could ever wish for, you’d swear he’s writing you some sort of self insert fanfiction on the spot. The pros? He seems to be putting quite a lot of effort into it. The cons? He’s doing it specifically just to fluster you, alongside the things he decides to come up with to achieve that goal. 

Aranea Highwind 

Her confidence has not wavered since she found out. Or rather, it hasn’t wavered that much. Psh, of course you still love her. Right?  Right? Good thing that inner turmoil is kept under wraps. She’d much rather an Astral strike her down where she stands rather than have to admit she has beef with a fictional character you just so happened to take a liking to. 

Gets all in a little jealous twist wondering exactly what she’s missing. What does that pixelated rando have that she doesn’t? A physical body for one and that leaves her ever so slightly questioning her lover capabilities. Has she failed? Is this how it ends? You somehow ride off into the sunset with this character somehow materialised? What a life to live and this shall be her legacy. 

Her act gets thrown off and while normally concerning, this time you’re grateful so you can pinpoint just what’s on her mind. She may huff all she wants but there’s not much one can do caught red handed. Logically she knows she doesn’t need that affirmation but emotionally? By the Astrals does she wanna hear it. “You do realise… I love you more right…?” Damn right you do. Her confidence has reached astronomical new levels.
