Just going to bounce off the previous ask, what about how would the trouble trio help their depressed s/o? Thanks! 😊
Shalnark
Being (arguably) the most normal person in the Phantom troupe, this man can do no wrong when it comes taking care of his depressed s/o. He knows what he needs to do to help them through this difficult time in their life. And what he doesn’t know he will find out.
- First thing he’ll try to do is make his s/o laugh. He knows what you find amusing, so he will utilize that knowledge to the best of his ability. Watching funny movies, telling corny jokes, hijacking someone’s cerebral cortex and forcing them to do some ridiculously insane things.... whatever it takes. You better believe he will go on until it makes them feel even the slightest bit of better.
- He’ll sit around with his s/o cause being with them is one of his main priorities now.... unless someone needs him for a mission, and even then he will keep in constant contact with them. He feels like now his s/o needs him more than ever. He cares hard.
- He brings them things and such a sweet gesture. He knows it wont make them get over their depression, but making them feel loved will definitely help them.
Feitan Portor
AH YES! Our short king. He’s not exactly sure how to handle his s/o having depression. Before his s/o came along, having anyone outside of the troupe close to him was never even an option... and right now his s/o is definitely not okay and he doesn’t like that at all. He honestly has no idea what he should be doing so, get ready for a nice long round of... trying his best?
He becomes their personal servant. Whatever his s/o wants he goes to retrieve it for them. Even if it means he gets thing his s/o shouldn’t have. But for him as long as it makes them feel better they will receive it.
“Wanna play a game?” “Wanna take a walk?” “Wanna read this book?” “Wanna make some heads roll?” Anything he and his s/o would usually do together to have fun he’ll try to get them to do it. it’s what usually cheers them up, so it just makes sense to do more of these things. He has no idea what he should do.
He is hella worried about his s/o. He of course, does an amazing job at hiding it, and not showing visible unease. [Side note: he strikes me as the type to approach his depressed s/o and just........ Hug. Like, out of nowhere just.... embrace. it’s visually entertaining and even more so if s/o is way taller than him.]
Phinks Magcub
Of course he’s going to freak out a bit internally like “My s/o is what? What do I do about it? What can I do about it?” First he consults with an equally clueless Feitan... it doesn't go well. He has to keep up appearances of angry tough guy, but let’s be honest he worried about his s/o. So even though he’s trying to keep up set appearances (the ones every one has seen through) he’s gonna try his hardest to help his s/o.
He Certainly lays in bed with s/o all day long. He believes that just being present should make them feel..... not super bad, so he takes it as an attempt. Hopefully this makes them feel a bit better.
He’s gonna eat junk food and watch movies with them. He is well aware that this isn’t going to solve the problem but making them feel comfortable is important to him. and he is lowkey hoping that maybe being in the “moment’ might make them feel like telling him why they feel the way they do currently. (That last sentence made sense right? lolz)
He holds s/o a bit more often than he usually would. This is a convenient excuse to get closer to them and still keep his tough guy image. Well, the honest truth now is.... while his s/o is dealing with depression he has glued them to him. (I don’t make the rules I only record them on paper)
in summation: Shalnark would take great care of his s/o, Phinks would smother you till you feel loved, and much like illumi in my last post, Feitan would try his best.
