Quickman -

🫂How do they show care for others?

mentioned it a bit in the quickelec fic but i think he taught himself how to do repairs on himself and other robots, since lord knows wily wont do it for his older models himself. so i think a big way he shows he cares, at least for his brothers, is by offering to repair them whenever they get damaged. even if its just minor things, they can build up over time. i dont think quick is the only one of his brothers who can do repairs, but hes the one who will actually go out of his way to check in on his linemates and offer to fix even minor issues

🌈 Sexuality/Romance Headcanon

yknow i never really thought about a sexuality hc for him. i dont see him being into women so i guess gay? anyways kinda mentioned it in the tags/alluded to it in my quickelec fic. i find that during battle or any kind of intense moment, basically any time quick is doing something that makes him feel powerful, hes a lot more confident/flirty/suave(SOMETIMES. usually just w elec tbh). but when things slow down/are more tender, he gets a lot more flustered(again, like in the fic). tends to usually panic and resort to little aggressive remarks, but in more like a small dog kind of way rather than a dangerous killer robot kinda way

i think the whole quickman adhd thing is fun, and i also hear a lot of people talking about quickman drinking energy drinks. i would like to present the headcannon that he likes energy drinks(or the robot equivalent), but doesnt feel any kind of affect from them. speaking from personal experience as someone with adhd who likes energy drinks, im one of the people whos adhd makes caffeine have virtually no affect(except for tummy aches if i have too much), but i still like the flavor. i think quick is similar where his adhd cancels out the caffeine but he still drinks it, partially for the flavor but mostly because he thinks he looks cool lol

Crashman -

🫂How do they show care for others?

i think for a while crashman would try and like. do things for people to show he cares since he thought that was the only way, but then something would end up going wrong, and he would get frustrated. eventually his brothers caught on to what was happening, and crash realized he didnt need to force himself to do things. so now he just spends time around people, even if its sitting in silence in someone elses presence. and his brothers understand what htat means <3

🌈 Sexuality/Romance Headcanon

hmmm yknow i think hes kinda pansexual honestly. like he doesnt get crushes super often, but when he does the gender of the person has nothing to do with it. i dont think hes ever actually been in a relationship though, he gets scared of messing it up/hurting the other person so he tends to stay away from any kind of romantic involvement with others. im sure theres probably a term for that but im honestly not like... the best well versed in less common sexuality labels so idk what itd be. if someone knows what itd be or at least knows how to describe it better lmk

🥀How do they show grief or sadness?

Crashman -

ok i think out of all the 2nd liners, crash has the most problems regulating his emotions. the wiki mentions near the bottom of the trivia section that he likely suffers from emotional dysregulation or bipolar disorder(or the robot equivalent). im going to be fully honest here, im not a mental health expert. so my understanding of these is very surface level(but i did do some research). i think he probably has the hardest time out of all the 2nd liners when it comes to processing negative emotions. i think he solidly falls along the lashing out side of things, if hes stressed or upset or frustrated(and believe me, those things happen a lot), his first instinct is usually to get mad at the people around him. when hes sad, he still sometimes lashes out, but its also not uncommon for him to basically just completely shut down. he doesnt usually seek out the others when this happens, but if they notice him getting weird, theyll either try and comfort him(or leave him alone to cool off if it gets too bad), or theyll find someone whos more emotionally intelligent to help, or try and offer some kind of distraction.

Metalman -

ive mentioned this before(i think?), but i think metalman is actually one of the more level headed wilybots? like he obviously still has a super aggressive and kinda mean side, but that usually comes through for his enemies or strangers. with his brothers hes a lot more responsible and even kind to them(sometimes. usually his comfort is more on the pragmatic side rather than the emotional side). like magnetman, i think he sees himself as a pillar of his line, but he handles it a lot better. he actually confronts his emotions, and trusts (some) of his linemates like air, wood, and even flash to confide with. like, he knows that hes both one of the few members of his line who is a good support system, but he also knows hes not alone and can talk to the others.

oh i also answered more asks about metalman here (and mistakenly referred to top and gemini as his linemates. my brain was thinking of the 8 robot masters who got shut down, not all of the 2nd liners)

Flashman -

*grips table* ive thought about him so fucking much. and ive thought about how he handled the guilt of the attack on the chronos institute/'letting' timeman get super injured. but im very tired and need to go to sleep so ill probably leave out most of the timeflash related stuff for once in my fucking life.

technically cannon but he def has the tendency to loudly complain about minor annoyances, and kinda overblows how bad they actually are. but thats just a lot of petty complaining that he moves on from pretty fast. his reaction to actual serious things hes upset about varies depending upon what it is. for something like a genuinely shitty day/week, he gets kinda snappy with others, but does apologize after hes feeling better. hes pretty confrontational for most things, like if hes in a fight or was told some kind of bad information hes pretty argumentative/aggressive about it. for something like loss or VERY specifically guilt, he isolates himself pretty heavily and shuts down, usually going a long time without moving or speaking. i dont really know how to describe it other than a very specific scenario i have in my head. but also even if i were to figure out how to talk about it in a moregeneral context rather than a super specific one, i already will be getting less than 8 hours of sleep tonight as is. i really hope u understand what im trying to say though

🔒- A secret they keep?

when bubbleman first got reprogrammed, for a while he thought he had a crush on roll, since she was super nice to him. he realized later that he didnt, and the only reason he thought that was because he wasnt used to someone being nice to him. sees her as a good friend now, but will absolutely take that secret to the grave

🩹- Battle scars or damage and the stories behind them

i actually think bubbleman has some burn scars, mostly ones he got on accident from heatman. he also has a couple deep scars on his legs, since he has bad on-land mobility and keeps falling, during the time they spent in the jungle he slipped on the rocks a lot and banged up his legs pretty bad.

⚡- Someone they detest

SNAKEMAN LMFAO. personally i think that snakeman always kinda came off as creepy to bubbleman, who is amphibious and kind of frog-like, and snakeman absolutely played into that and tormented him on purpose, probably in a malicious way at first but after being reintegrated into society it became more of a lovingly teasing way on snakemans end, but bubbleman still absolutely hates it. snakemans kinda dense though and doesnt realize that.

other than him, i think maybe at first bubbleman didnt like oilman because he misunderstood what oilman was designed to do. bubble only saw that he attacked by firing oil at people, and didnt realize he was actually designed to clean up oil spills. after they started working together though, he changed his mind and actually really enjoys hanging out with oilman, since hes so easygoing and chill

also, relating to the next part, i think he also detests wily for building him to be a combat robot

💭- Thoughts on their purpose for being made

i mean, obviously bubbleman was made for combat. i think he really leaned into that aggression early on, especially since he was kinda made fun of by his brothers, his creator, and even some of the lightbots(those guys stopped after a bit though since they realized he didnt like it). but i truly dont think he enjoys only existing to fight people, but didnt think there was another option. which is why he was so excited when roll told him he could get like. a real job. i think bubble actually eventually grew to hate wily for making him believe that his only use was to fight people, since it really messed with his self-perception

⚠️- How do they show anger?
