#headcanoning

When I see fics talk about stuff like how smiles are different between average people and one specific special person… yeah. I like that. That’s good shit and I love imagining it every time… anyways that except I see it most commonly with Agent Stone and the Doctor’s usual reactions to this are either “what the hell” or there’s some sudden acknowledgement that he’s held more specially than he initially thought in this guy’s eyes and it’s a very pivotal point in their relationship either way.

Also a big fan of Stone losing all the light in his eyes when he’s doing a job that isn’t just being around Robotnik

Some of my headcanons for The Powerpunk Girls and Viletown

So here's my cringy brain dumps that id like to present as an offering to @polyamorousclay!

𑁍 When they first got together, there was a period of time in which Will had a sorta fascination with his eye. And i recently learned the skull caves in without anything to preserve the shape of the socket, so hed probably have asked about that.

❁ A phrase so common between them is "Alabaster what the Fuck/hell did you do!?"

𑁍 NICOBASTER MAGIC DATES NICOBASTER MAGIC DATES NICOBASTER MAGIC DATES. Cause like- best way to test spells, do it on a zombie!

❁ Nico once accidentally slapped Ethan across the face because he was hand gesturing and Ethan walked by at the worst time. It took Nico ten minutes to apologize cause every time he opened his mouth he kept laughing too much.

𑁍 Will likes to make fun of Alabaster's accent (Alabaster with a British accent, hear me out) by mimicking it horribly. Alabaster retaliates by trying to mimic Wills. Ethan just wants one quiet morning but no. (Since Naomi is a country singer, I imagine she purposely exaggerates the accent enough that it rubbed off on Will.)

❁ Will can handle many things gore-wise. Bros seen shit as a medic. But he absolutely cannot handle anything to do with nails being ripped off or skin being torn away. And so Nico will tend to cover his eyes if he knows it's coming up.

𑁍 Alabaster for Ethans birthday once got Ethan a prosthetic eye that lights up when you clap. He partially regretted it when he went to get water at 3 in the morning and nearly had a heart attack when he was met with Ethan standing there.

❁ Dates between them usually consist of them binge-watching a mutually agreed-upon show and complaining when one of the characters does something stupid.

𑁍 They had to stop watching the Good Doctor because Will kept pausing to explain how wrong it was.

❁ Nico has pretty bad claustrophobia due to the jar, and so sometimes when he feels like the room is too cramped he likes to sit outside for a bit. He welcomes any of them to join him. Many heart-to-hearts have happened because of this.

𑁍 Ethan genuinely isn't sure how Alabaster is alive. Bro doesn't drink water until he has a headache, barely remembers that eating is in fact not optional, and that sleep is for more than passing time. At this rate he doesn't know how any of them are still kicking.

When Ryu Hayabusa Falls in Love:

He tries to hide it at first. But it’s painfully obvious. He lingers when you leave. He checks your surroundings before saying goodbye. He doesn’t smile, but the way he says your name? Velvet.

Love makes him reckless. He’s usually controlled... until you’re in danger. Then suddenly, he's crashing through walls, slicing demons in half, screaming your name like it’s his last prayer.

He starts training you. Not because he doubts your strength, but because teaching you the way of the dragon is the highest form of trust he knows.

He memorizes how you say things. Not just your voice, but your pauses, your sighs, even the way you mumble when you’re tired. He listens like you’re music he doesn’t want to end.

Modern AU Headcanons (because I love these)

He’s a martial arts instructor. Stoic, precise, terrifying to newbies, but when a child asks if he's a real ninja, he bows solemnly and says, “Yes. But don’t tell anyone.”

The first day you signed up to his classes, you left thinking you'll definitely pay the monthly subscription.

He refuses to use emojis. Texts like:

“I’m outside.” “Be careful.” “Eat something.” And then sends a picture of his bruised knuckles with the caption “fine.”

You had to get used to seeing the period "." a million times and convince yourself he wasn't mad... that's just the way he types.

He drives a black motorcycle. Helmet? Optional. Leather gloves. Puts a mask on to cover half of his face. Pulls up and you can smell the intensity.

He takes his helmet off in slow motion like a movie scene. Time stops.

You were behind him on a red light and were completely hypnotized, the way his back got tense, the muscles shining through the black shirt he wore, leaned and drove away... The car behind you honked because it was already a green light.

His apartment is neat but... pretty minimalistic. One futon, one bonsai, one katana mounted on the wall. But your hoodie is folded neatly on the corner of the bed.

Jealous Ryu Headcanons

He doesn’t say he’s jealous. His posture changes. Suddenly, he's looming behind you while someone’s talking too sweet. One step closer and his hand is on your lower back.

When you're alone after: “Was he bothering you?” You: “No, he was being nice.” Deadpan “...He was breathing in your direction.”

He doesn’t argue, he asserts. Kisses you like a warning. Not possessive. Just intense. Like he’s saying: You are mine. And I do not share.

But otherwise? he's very calm about it unless someone is really, really trying to get you.

Sick Ryu Headcanons

Doesn’t admit he’s sick. When you saw him after a mission, you noticed his eyes were slightly red and watery. “I’m fine.” (He's literally shaking.) You touch his forehead and it’s boiling. He tries to wave you off, coughs once, then pretends he didn’t.

Sleeps with his sword next to him even with a fever. You have to convince him to please just let go for ONE night.

Gets weirdly clingy. Not cuddly, but… he’ll reach out and tug your sleeve, eyes half-lidded. Just to know you’re near. Won’t ask. Just holds on... Like a shy cat that has an angry face but still hold for his dear life on your arm.

When he finally crashes, he mutters your name in his sleep. Over and over. Like it’s keeping him anchored.

Sleepy - Vulnerable Ryu Headcanons

He sleeps like a ghost... silent, still, unreadable. But sometimes, if he’s really exhausted, he’ll curl ever so slightly toward your warmth.

He has nightmares. About his clan, about old wars. You don’t wake him, you just hold his hand. And he calms. Every damn time.

When he wakes and sees you beside him, there’s always a second of wonder. Like he can’t believe you’re real, that you chose to stay.
