What do you think gets crab man riled up? Doesn’t necessarily have to be in the bedroom, it could be little things that his crush has/does.

Sliiight NSFW under the cut? Not really NSFW more like just. Spicy? Saucy? Still putting it under the cut just in case tho lmao.

I half and half agree with this hc. To elaborate, I don't think he would do this if he had just a crush on the farmer, he'd find it to be weird and creepy if he were to write about someone he wasn't even in a relationship with, especially in that way. And even then, it will depend on the person if they find it creepy even if they are already in a relationship.

I'm more inclined to think he would write erotica/smut of his partner if he had express permission to do so, I think he can be honest with them and at least ask. Cause lord knows if you were to just stumble across it one day.

Elliot would most likely didn't pick up some healthy habits (I feel like he would drink his sorrows away) in the city, and tried to become a better person once he found his way into pelican town.

Elliot seems like a wine type of person, but he won't drink it too often once he's in pelican town.

I feel like Elliot would want an illustrator for his books, maybe little pictures of his characters and such

Despite it not being an option to choose, I feel like Elliot would secretly read horror at night.

I feel like his love language would be words of affirmation, since he's a man of literature.

Sorry there aren't too many, but I wanted to give a few that I have thought of. Have a good day!

Nah dw about not having many! Honestly most people send me one hc they have and I love expounding upon them!

I've seen a lot of people have hcs in regards to Elliott's life being kinda rough before moving to Pelican Town, and I like a lot of these because people have their different interpretations. One of my favorites was Elliott keeping a lot of people at arms length and being afraid of getting close with any of the people in Pelican Town but gradually breaking down his walls and relaxing. To add to your hc, I imagine he would drink the sorrows away because he's a lightweight, and he knows it's easy to wash away any thoughts he has. But as you said! When he moved to Pelican Town and strides to better that.

He prefers the more fruitier wines because he likes their sweeter tastes (helps him stand the awful aftertaste they have.) He likes any alcohol to be that way cause boy he's tried some that were..yuck (he recalls one that tasted like straight up medicine that burned, he almost threw that one up.)

Elliott is definitely the type to read horror at night! Though sometimes, if it's a particularly unsettling one, you're going to have to deal with his heightened sense of awareness and paranoia for the night lmao.

Ah, to be so knowledgeable in the various kinds of alcohols and enjoying them...only to be a God damn lightweight LMAO.

He's a fun drunk though! More unfiltered, tongue is looser and so he doesn't think about nor care as much about using proper sentences. Doesn't get shitfaced though! He can get drunk easily and is at least sound of mind to know his limit before.

Oh I absolutely agree.

It's not an everyday thing, obviously, it depends on the weather for him as well. But there are summer nights when it just gets so hot...cooler at night but the earth and winds are still hot.

the first time Elliott gets extremely worried is when farmer wouldn't come back to their farmhouse after the dark. Seeing that only pickaxe and their sword is missing he would know that they're in the mines.

he would overthink everything that could've happen to the farmer, but the other side of him tried to calm himself down because truly, panicking wouldn't get him anywhere.

so he reached for old sword that his spouse had left in the chest, put a coat, then he stepped outside ready to go look for his spouse, cold air of the winter hitting him in the face. he jogged through the mountains, and after a while he had trouble breathing because of the cold, but he wasn't going to rest until he'd make sure his lover was okay.

when he gets to the mines, he searches a while for the farmer and finds them on level 45

they're fine, they're alright, perhaps they are hurt, but they're alive. Elliott let's his guard down, saying farmer's name with his voice a little shaked from emotions, he approaches them, reaching out to them to give a hug.

What he didn't saw was a monster lurking behind him, waiting for a good moment to strike. The beast sprinted with inhuman speed towards the poet. Elliott freezed from the fear, and the farmer, who recovered from the shock of seeing Elliott in this horrendous place, shielded Elliott with their body with a sword in their hands.

after a while of fighting, the monster ended up with a sword pierced through it's skull, while farmer panted heavily over the dead body of a creature. i imagine that it was Elliott's first time seeing farmer fighting in the mines, I imagine him being relieved and excited when the farmer saves his life lol... like come on, its like one of his scenarios coming true.

Fue always out here sending banger asks for me to read oml

•I imagine after the initial shock and adrenaline of having to act fast and kill the monster to save their husband, the farmer kinda whips around to him, their voice snapping Elliott out of his daze and mulling over the excitement and adrenaline he felt about the whole thing before other emotions sets in.

•While you're light on your words with him considering you understand why Elliott had wanted to come down here (out of the extreme worry of his heart), but please for everything that is wicked and sully in the world never put yourself in danger like that again you beg him.

•After you said your words and pulled your sword from the slain monster, flicking the blade and sending light beads of blood to decorate the ground, you sheath your blade and getting the hint now..you both make the trek home. (Or simply just use a totem to get there whatever floats your boat lol)

Elliotts pretty good with kids. like when hes at the library reading, jas and Vincent will often come up to him and ask him to tell them a story (after the 8 heart event).

YES.

If he's not in any big hurry to get back into the book he's currently on and the children want him to read to them he's more than happy to oblige.

They'll have a children's picture book picked out, shaking the book a little up at him and both ask if mister Elliott could read to them and he'll more often than not oblige.

Jas and Vincent get comfortable on the pillows at the table and Elliott would take his place on one of the empty pillows before he opens the book up and begins to read the story to them.

Oh and this is why they like it when he reads to them! Elliott is already good at doing public readings, he has a very clear voice and although not yelling his voice is loud enough for everyone to hear him. When reading children's story books (although not as loud when he does a public reading as he's in a library reading to 2 children) he has this knack for doing all of these fun voices for characters in the book ! He'll do all of these silly little gestures with his hands when the book calls for it, he'll stop here and then to let them get a good look at the pictures, etc.

Jas and Vincent love when mister Elliott reads to them, he's so fun!

To some extent, I can def see it! But I also think he does what he can to get some more nutritious foods. Most of what he eats is soups or things that involve broth since it's easy to make. That and he'll cook whatever fish he caught to cook over a fire, it's just the bones he finds troublesome.

But it's also a question of "should I eat this?" Or "should I sell this to just buy food?" Because he can't save something like a fish for hours, he doesn't have a freezer to keep it from going bad so it's why he sticks to store-bought stuff and soups. That goes for any food and not just fish, most fridge-kept foods he just can't have unless he plans to eat it all in one day.
