(Headcanons under the cut)

This is jumping right into it lol.

Mafiadust Sans is named Soot.

It’s a common headcanon for me that the higher the LV, the stronger the instincts.

Which means Soot has really strong instincts.

These often come off in day-to-day scenarios with him getting a bit territorial, and sometimes even a bit growly (which usually sounds like a deep rumble in his ribcage.)

But with a partner, it comes out a bit more– in different ways. He’s very attentive to your needs and is very, very touchstarved. His bed is basically just one big nest and he will just sometimes pick you up to plop you in there, because to him, if you’re in the nest then you’re safe.

Because to be honest, they need more development

Mafiadust - or Soot.

He always lived in a very violent society overruled by a weak government, gangs, and the mafia. He was part of the mafia at a very young age, worked his way up, and when he realised just how fucked his society was, he murdered everyone.

He now roams the streets of the abandoned city and also any city next to him as an incredibly imposing figure that scares the shit out of anyone who takes time to look at him.

He radiates danger. (And his LV is much, much higher than 20.)

Witherborn Dust - or Fallout

Fallout killed his parents. And his brother. And he has a very long history of killing anyone that steps foot in his territory. He's silent, lethal, and all-round just a very intimidating guy.

His territory is a SOUL sand valley (used to be Netherrack plains but the soil got contaminated by the pure amount of SOULs he was reaping that it changed) with various skeletons of things he's killed scattered around the place. He's a silent endurance hunter and you likely won't know what's going to happen until he's right there.

Avian Dust - or Decay

Decay is a very anti-social, highly territorial Avian that would sooner kill you than keep you alive to become leverage. He's dangerous and ruthless, with the second-highest kill count- just under the legendary God of Bloodshed himself.

His glare was icy devoid of emotion his voice and eerie blank listening to the sputtering excuses of his subordinates he's fist clenched

"I. Don't. Care"

He snaps silencing them all as cold sweat broke through the layers of clothing they wore, he repeated the question but this time you could hear that flicker of emotion.

"Where is she?"

-Mafia boys with the prompt of their subordinates losing track of an found child, attempting to adopt child, S/O or something else-

“where is she?”

Cold. Quiet. The temperature continued to drop as his subjects cowered away from his edged gaze. The small tremor in his voice and the purple sparking from his eyelight told silent tales of his incredible struggle to not lose his cool. The dim light caught on the movement of the fabric of his leather gloves growing taunt as his fists clenched.

His subordinate began to splutter excuses, knowing very well that their life could be at risk for not guarding their bosses’ partner well enough.

The slam of a hand on a concrete wall. The cracks the spiderwebbed across it. The quiet cry of fear the subordinate let out as they were shoved against the wall, hard.

Soot’s clawed hand dug into the infrastructure with an unnerving ease.

“i. don’t. care.”

He lent forward, eyelights blazing with unbridled fury as a snarl tore through his ribcage and carried to the end of his next sentence.

Where is my child in this strange melting pot family dynamic of Dusts????

BECAUSE THAT HURT COMFORT WAS SO CUTE AND SAD AND--

(I'm going rabid igutgux I'm so sorryyy i loaf youu🫱🍮)

Heheheh- I appreciate you too!!

Well! OG does really enjoy Stardust's company. Definitely considered a friend. But it's actually Soot that really cares a lot.

OG understands why Stardust did what he did- but there are definitely obvious differences between their motives.

With Soot? They were very, very similar. Soot slaughtered his kind because they were corrupt and quickly getting worse and worse. Sure, you could consider him the most corrupt of all for murdering them, but still.

Same sorta motive.

Soot naturally slips into that role of father/older brother towards most Dusts, in varying different ways, but he definitely has a specific soft spot for Stardust.

You'll often find Soot just silently standing by Stardust in a show of support- the way his eyelight flashes whenever anyone starts pissing him off by getting angry/rude towards Stardust. Little things. Gifts are given. Jobs are done. Just generally a caring attitude.

Hell, I'm pretty sure Stardust could decide he wanted to snuggle with Soot and the big guy would simply just accept it.

You'll never hear him audibly admit that he cares, but it's clear in everything he does.

Stardust, I imagine, also really likes Soot. The two just get along really well.

I can imagine Stardust having pretty severe self-esteem issues which are promptly thrown out the window when Soot comes around- and also helps Soot to realise: no, you're not all bad.

Violence is all Soot has really ever known, so having people around him he can actively care for and protect really helps him out.

Misery and Stardust definitely get along. I can imagine a siblingship happening there, filled with a bunch of good-natured teasing and just goofing off.

Not saying anything, just curious.

"i. . ."

Yes

She's a gardener, she's a waitress, she's whatever job there is she'll do because she's always on her feet, she's independent and won't take gifts as she has an honest trust issue regarding owing people (Ex childhood friend tried to force onto her saying she owed something to him, but he gave it as a gift to her ect)

She's not totally scared of dust but she isn't disrespectful either she'll go by make small chat because she knows he doesn't like talking always knows what he wants and needs but she doesn't believe he wants to take her out this girl is something else.

Getting Soot to fall for you is definitely one hard task. But once he's there, he's there.

Mafiadust is named Soot, by the way :]

Soot is interested about her. He wants to know what's up- why she is like she is, but won't push her. He finds her skills and abilities in so many different places intriguing- reminds him of himself when he was back underground. Back when everything was normal.

Despite how much she denies his gifts, he's going to continue to try. It's not always expensive things; sometimes it's literally just a nice rock, or a pretty feather he found.

Not being afraid or extremely intimidated by him is something very rare- so it's like a breath of fresh air. He enjoys hanging around her- not always obviously, but he's there. Usually just in her peripherals or just chilling around her cafe if she owns one.

He admires her independence, too, but both of them need to learn to rely on others.

She may not believe he wants to take her out, which means that he's going to devolve into staring right into her eyes as he hands her a red rose and says: "for fucks sake, i want you, alright? just say no or yes to a date."

Will definitely hammer home his point by clarifying, "this is a romantic gesture, dumbass."
