How about how the top five kinda acts like a family? Iāve kinda seen them as such and noticed one of your previous drawing was like that. What little things do they appreciate about each other? Or tiny things they do for each other.
Ahhh! Thank you for providing me with something to ramble about!
Honestly I just think that they would just get up to some really troublesome stuff together, whilst still doing an amazing job at being heroes. Iāll write some random headcanons about them in a moment but I think Iāll just give like some little points about the others from each of their own perspectives first? (None of this is in a particular order by the way)
Endeavour -
Well heās.....himself?? Believes that the other four are just annoying ākidsā that pester him for no reason, doesnāt enjoy their pranks and mischievous antics however always manages to get roped into them (most of the time by Hawks and Miruko)
To him, Miruko and Hawks are the annoying kids who always manage to challenge him into doing stupid things, Jeanist is the bothersome pest who has a really annoying way of turning whatever he says into a cheeky insult whilst still managing to have more common sense than the other two, and Edgeshot is just that really mysterious guy that heās slightly wary of yet can tolerate more than the others because he can be kinda scary sometimes.
Despite this he does recognise that all of them are incredibly strong individuals who all really do take their jobs as heroes rather seriously.
Hawks -
Oh boy he loves pestering Endeavour. Miruko is the only one who will straight up join him in doing so, closely followed by the useless āsupervisionā of Edgeshot and Jeanist.
Obviously he really looks up to Endeavour and thatās kinda obvious, Miruko is the āfun oneā in his own words as they make the most chaotic duo out of the whole of them, and actually he sees the other two as two kinda fatherly figures in a way, being two people that heās probably known from a young age and he knows theyāll give him serious advice when he needs it - although most of the time heāll just say that āthey suck the fun out of everythingā.
On the other side of things though, he does know that if he ever has an issue that heās unsure of how to handle, or heās feeling bad about something, he can go to any of them to ask for advice, talk or even just a hug. Because they understand.
Miruko -
Ah yes. She will never pass up an opportunity to pester one of the older heroes with Hawks. Itās way too much fun.
In her eyes, Endeavour is just a competitive fiery flamethrower who will sometimes actually say something that makes sense, Hawks is the one she can do anything stupid with who occasionally supplies her with new challenges, she finds Jeanist a little annoying in the way he words things but knows that heās always willing to join her in sassing the hell out of Endeavor, and she will not hesitate to tease Edgeshot about whatever she can - probably the only one out of the lot of them that isnāt at all fazed by his death glare.
She sees them all as a group of chaotic adults that will happily provide her with whatever support she needs in return for her keeping an eye out for them whenever she can.
Jeanist -
He really enjoys making whatever cheeky remarks he can to annoy Endeavour. But does know when not to tag along with the other two in some of their more stupid ideas. And will no doubt comment about one of their choices in clothing about two times a day at least.
He sees Endeavour as a cranky old man who needs to lighten his temper and his manners quite a bit but does hold respect in the fact that he is older and still a very powerful hero, Hawks is basically āhis childā and he knows that despite how childish he may be at times he still does know how to make his own fairly reasonable desicions, he acknowledges how strong Miruko is and is kinda terrified about getting on her bad side - but still knows she comes up with some stupid ideas with Hawks and joins in with them for the fun of it, and well Edgeshot is the only one who heāll listen to when it comes to doing anything stupid because that man can be really scary when he wants to be.
But really he knows that each and every one of them will be there for him to lean on as a support on those days where he needs it, and heāll always provide help for any of them when they need it.
Edgeshot -
He has to babysit 4 grown adults...but that doesnāt mean he doesnāt actually enjoy the chaos. Occasionally heāll help out with the stupid ideas, but only when he knows it isnāt a dangerous idea. Most of the time heāll just stand by watching it happen.
From his point of view, Endeavor is a strong hero that acts like stroppy child with bad manners most of the time but he never really tries to do anything to annoy the older man - thatās the othersā job, Hawks and Miruko are the troublesome kids who always manage to come up with ideas that are so stupid yet something that he actually really wants to know the outcome of, and Jeanist is a man of many talents but incredibly unable to keep any of his secretly stupid ideas hidden from him (and he is the only person out of the lot of them that somehow actually find Jeanistās stupid puns funny - he wonāt admit it though).
Aside from all this, he is very aware that these people will stand with him to protect whatever they must, he trusts these people with his life as he hopes they would do the same in return.
Some random headcanons:
They will have regular meet-ups outside of work at one of their agencies where they just chill out and chat. These are usually at rather random times of day.
These meet-ups usually consist of hours of Hawks and Miruko doing something very stupid and Edge preventing Jeanist from winding endeavour up to the point that the building burns down.
Sometimes, itāll end up just being a whole day where they catch up on all the sleep theyāve missed and end up basically having a massive slumber party in the middle of their office. Until one of them notices the time and they have to dart off to their individual patrols.
Jeanist has somehow managed to persuade endeavour to let him do his hair...twice, and Edgeshot has it all on camera.
This led to a series of makeover sessions where Hawks and Jeanist made Endeavour wear neon yellow eyeliner, Miruko suddenly had pink hair and Edgeshot spent the whole day in pigtails (much to his dismay)
They treat Hawks as the baby - literally will do anything for him - but tease him with stuff like āoh itās way past your bedtime Hawksā or āsorry Hawks youāre too young to do that well tell you when youāre olderā and he HATES it.
They all gather gossip from their interns and sidekicks over the week and end up having competitions to see who has the most shocking news.
So far Edgeshot and Jeanist are tied with first place.
They are also completely fine with showing the other 3 their faces so they are fully aware of how they look like.
Most of the time these meet-ups will be fairly chaotic and cheerful, but on the occasion it may not be.
Being a hero comes with the knowledge that you cannot save everybody. And they all know this. And so when these moments happen and they feel as if they need a break, these are the best times for them to come to terms with what happened on maybe a patrol that evening, or a mission that didnāt end well.
Because they understand each other completely, and know what that feeling is like.
These meet-ups normally just consist of a lot of silent discussions, hugs and often tears.
Where they all get together to comfort the one who needs it the most. Putting their plans on hold for them and listening to their troubles.
Because even Endeavour would feel bad refusing to console a Jeanist who was distraught over being ātoo weakā to save a single person who was in a completely different location than himself.
Or a timid Edgeshot whoās past was hovering over his mind more than usual, preventing him from focusing properly on his evening patrol.
Or a gloomy Hawks who feels as if his decisions are always wrong and feels like he canāt do anything right.
Or even a stressed out Miruko who feels as though she did a bad job at saving someone just because they were disrespectful towards her ācarelessā methods.
And of course they all are aware of the heavy expectations of being number 1, and know that truly this unusually silent Endeavour is human just like themselves and will feel just as anyone else would.
Even top heroes need to have these moments where they can break down in front of the people they trust, in order to keep their own sanity from crumbling apart.
And really thatās what they all collectively like the most about their little āfamilyā.
Between all the fun and chaos.
Itās the ability for them all to lean on each other at times when they need it the most, and they definitely feel thatās a good thing.
Wooh!! There you go! A nice long list of headcanons of my favourite lil group of chaotic characters.
Sorry for getting a little sad at the end there, but if you know me by now Iām pretty sure itās obvious that a ramble written by me wouldnāt be complete without it lol
Thanks again for the ask @ohpleaseiwillendyou it really gave me some happy things to think about and really cheered me up, which is exactly what I needed right now aha.
Please feel free to send me asks or suggestions to write about! Iām currently quite motivation-less and I really need things to ramble about to make me feel better :)
