Look at him... he's holdin Violet... (none of you know who the fuck I am talking about) (That is okay)

I don't think fathers point a gun at their daughters but you do you ig

Yay! An excuse to make headcanons for two of my favourite characters and non-canon ship! (Seriously, why couldn’t these two have been canon?)

Let’s see if I can make some individual headcanons and some ship ones for fun!

Jacob Arrow

He is the king of DIY. You have something that needs fixing? Something custom to be built? Jacob is a Jack of all trades and can complete any project that is thrown his way! Even after losing his arm, Jacob didn’t let it stop him from taking on new projects; he just needed to re-evaluate how to do them

He has one of the lilies from Lily’s wedding bouquet preserved in resin. He keeps the flower in his trailer, and it's one of his most precious possessions, and no one but Ben is allowed to touch it

After losing his arm, Jacob contemplated getting a prosthetic. But living on the road made it hard enough to recover, let alone be able to do everything that was required to get a prosthetic. So, he learned how to live his life with only one arm, and if he ever encountered a task that required two arms, well, he always has Ben around to help him!

Jacob doesn’t have any family. No parents, siblings, or other relatives that he knows of. However, he’s very close to Ben’s family, as his parents essentially adopted Jacob when Ben brought him home to celebrate Christmas one year (and every year following, as long as they could attend). Jacob has also come to view his team as his family in all but blood, and sometimes, he wonders what it would have been like to grow up surrounded by so much love

Ben Shepherd

Ben was Jacob’s best man at his and Lily’s wedding. Jacob didn’t have many friends outside of Ben, and certainly not ones as close to him as Ben was. Ben was honoured to be the best man and is not ashamed to say he cried a lot during the wedding

He is an AMAZING cook and baker! He learned from his family and has a book of treasured recipes from relatives he has collected over the years, as well as recipes he has found in cookbooks, magazines, and online. Before he and Jacob became hunters, Ben didn’t cook and bake that much, but he relearned the skills after they started travelling, so the pair would have delicious and nutritious meals to enjoy

He keeps a detailed record in his recipe book that includes lists of his teammates’ food allergies and sensitivities, along with their favourite and least favourite foods. That way, he always knows what to make when someone on the team needs a pick-me-up. Ben also has everyone’s birthdays saved in his phone’s calendar so that he never forgets to bake a cake or the person’s favourite dessert

Ben’s favourite holiday is Halloween; it has always been and always will be. He loved dressing up and going trick-or-treating around his neighbourhood when he was a kid and knew which houses had the best candy. As he grew older, he also gained a love for horror movies, and he has seen just about every horror film made. Even as an adult, he still loves Halloween and dresses up when he can (sometimes convincing the team to join him), but costume or not, he will find the time to relax with a good Halloween movie and snacks to celebrate the holiday

Ben X Jacob

They cut each other's hair. Or rather, Ben cuts Jacob’s hair (and sometimes his beard) while Jacob shaves Ben’s head. They know what style each other likes and trust the other to do it correctly

They are the only ones who can wake each other up and calm them down from a nightmare. They get nightmares of being in the military, Lily’s death, Jacob losing his arm, and so many more horrors that it's impossible to keep track of all the nightmares. But no matter which horror plagues their dreams, Jacob and Ben know they’re safe so long as they have each other

When Jacob was in the hospital after losing his arm, Ben was rarely away from his side. Some staff assumed he was Jacbo’s husband. (Didn’t help that Ben had introduced himself as Jacob’s partner when he’d brought Jacob to the emergency department. In his defence, he had been terrified and not thinking clearly at the time.) Ben stayed by Jacob’s side through all the surgeries, tests, and rehab, even when Jacob tried to convince Ben that it was pointless for him to stay, as Jacob would only be holding him back. But Ben didn’t care if Jacob was down an arm; he wasn’t going to abandon him, not then, not ever. They vowed to have each other's backs through thick and thin, and Ben wasn’t going to break that promise

They plan to retire from hunting one day, and when they do, they want to buy a cabin in the woods with a lake and plenty of space to finally relax. They also want their home to have enough room for when the team visits, as even though they will one day hang up their weapons, they won’t be giving up the family they created and the friends they made along the way

Why can’t I be writing S7? I have so many ideas for it, I think I might explode if I don’t share some! At least I have the rest of S4 and S5 to keep me occupied until then! (Sorry, S6, you’re not my type. But I’ll still write you.)

An AU in which Ben and Jacob are retired military dads, and Hope is their baby. :3
