I wanted to ask about what if Sebastian ended up having a child in the blacksite? By accident of course, I want to hear you personal thoughts if any of this makes any sense ;-;

Thank you!!

Sebastian BUT He Picked Up Some Random Kid At the Blacksite During The Lockdown Headcanons

Thanks for the ask! I’m assuming you want more of the list style here.

I would like to preface this by repeating that I personally don’t think Sebastian would, accidentally or intentionally, CAUSE kids during his time down there. I do like seeing how other people write him in that scenario though!

However, he’s not one to just leave some random little kid stranded and lost. What kind of monster does that?

There’s no way that it could be a child expendable, otherwise that child would have to be MAJORLY messed up!

So… there’d be a lost kid—suffering from experiment upon experiment—roaming the blacksite.

The blacksite is violent, on account of all of the free entities ripping apart expendables and each-other. The poor baby would likely be hiding, starved and have to eat spoiled food or wall dweller chunks (the latter tastes surprisingly good)

He’d find this kid somewhere in a TERRIBLE hiding spot after passing through an area, like with a leg or tail sticking out from underneath a table.

Despite his rough edge, he would try to ease them just a little that he’s not going to eat them! It’s just not very convincing.

Carrying them it is. He’d take them to his shop to stay, ensuring they don’t touch anything initially.

“No matter what, you’ll be okay.”

He’d have to contact Innovation to inform them to make more room for a third rescue.

I think it’d be cute if he had to go out more often for scraps and make Painter busy watching the child to ensure there’s no approaching danger. There are never no eyes on them. I don’t think they’d even be allowed to leave the shop.

But then he’s out for too long and it’s hard for Painter to track him.

…And then he comes back all scratched up with a REALLY disgruntled expression. He got a kettle, nearly expired milk, and hot chocolate powder from a staff breakroom far off. Good thing there’s an outlet.

The excitement he gets in return is enough to make the effort worth it.

He does it more. Maybe a little overkill, but he collects research and items along the way as well so it’s less of a waste. Leftover rice, non-perishables…

None of these are for him, despite how much his stomach begs for it. It’s purely for the little one to give them some sense of normalcy.

His… “parenting” method is a little unorthodox down there. He’ll occasionally try to educate them between expendables entering and loot runs.

Depending on the kid’s age, topics range from “How many Anglers can you count outside?” to predicting the length Pandemonium would need to cross to reach the other corner of the Blacksite (Pythagorean theorem!)

His specialty is Maths. Obviously. Phys Ed looks a little like him letting them hitch a ride on his back while he scavenges close to the shop.

One thing that remains consistent though is that he’d rather not be touched without being warned. Everyone else needs permission, but the kid just needs to warn him—to which they remember to do because kids aren’t entirely stupid!

No, they are NOT splitting apart once they reach the surface.
