cuphead being a yapper? big fan bendy kissing him to shut up? big fan too

also came up with the headcanon that bendy likes to wrap his tail around cuphead's arm/wrist (when he's near) whenever he's tinkering with something cuz it's a way bendy shows he appreciates cuphead's presence 😌

on another note, i'm still cooking up some art for my au :3 cuz i wanna explore their dynamic more in my au

I wanted to do these in honor of the TS5 trailer release - despite my skepticisms - but also because I just adore them.

• Woody slowly began developing feelings for Buzz not long after Bo Peep was taken away. It took a while for him to come to terms with losing her, and eventually concluded that it’s for the best to move on.

• Buzz felt no different. Sure his care for Jessie goes unnoticed, but he soon understood that Woody is more important to him in every way. The two talk it out together and she’s okay with it.

• Sure Woody is the best singer out of the two, but occasionally allows Buzz to sing his ‘heart’ out whenever they have the time alone to do so - despite the latter being a little tone deaf.

• Their love language is usually words of affirmation - they constantly encourage one another or reminisce on the days of their first adventure and how much they bonded. Although quality time is good too.

• Despite the former, they never find themselves using pet names like ‘baby’ or ‘darling’ for they feel too formal for that. This explains why it was hard for the other toys to believe they started dating initially.

• They switch between being the big spoon and little spoon. On one hand, Woody ends up tangling his legs around Buzz’s from behind; and on the other, Buzz keeps his glowing out of Woody’s eyes.

• Once Buzz learns that Woody is ticklish, you can bet he’d find a chance to get him to giggle anytime that’s necessary. His weak spot is his stomach - Jessie told him - so Buzz goes for it whenever they embrace.

We welcome greed in this house (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

Starkspeare: Baelor says it first. Not in bed, or even during some heated argument, but not by accident, either. It's somewhere quiet, after you've been hurt maybe or nearly lost to him in some capacity. There's awful, almost sad sincerity to the words, like he's burdened, almost ashamed by his own want but he speaks them with his entire being.

Winterhall: Maekar says it first, too, but only when he's cornered into it. Angry, pacing, jaw tight, driven by emotion (worry or jealousy, but something strong enough to cut through the iron). It comes out rough and unwilling, practically spat out, something like, “Do you not understand? I love you. That is the whole cursed problem of it.”

Iceflame: Aerion says it first, but he also says it too early, and too intensely. He's spent his entire life saying it, really, and has never shied away from it or what you are to him. He says it like a man confessing a fever or a sin, eyes bright with that terrible devotion of his. For Aerion, I love you sounds dangerously close to I am ruined by you.

Stagstark: Lyonel probably says it first but by complete accident. Smiling, flirting, making light of something, and then suddenly it’s there between them before he can laugh it off. It's too late to walk them back, the confession rolls off the tongue so casually it's easy to miss it or simply assume he's like this with everyone, but your I love you from his mouth is filled with longing no one else hears from him.

Blackice: Daemon says it second, but he feels it first, and carries it longer, so he doesn't spend those words cheaply because he knows how completely this alters both your lives. He waits until he knows you would actually believe him and not just assume it's some ploy. When he finally says it, its devastatingly simple. No ornament. Just quiet, defeated certainty because he doesn't believe it changes anything. It's cruel to finally find a reason to live again and know it cannot stay.

Crepic: The exact same, but they don’t say “no homo” after kissing the homie goodnight. If they got married, they don’t kiss, they dap each other up and their marriage dance isn’t a dance, they’re dueling with lightsabers while fighting in meme references. Crepic shippers, I give this mental image to you. If you make it happen, tag me.

HorrorDream (Drorror? Heam? Whatever.): Dream is doting and affectionate with addition of feeding Horror and going “eat up! I worked so hard on this, and if you don’t eat, I’ll be very sad. You don’t wanna make me sad, do you?” So manipulates Horror into taking care of himself. In turn, Horror is a guard dog as this is specifically my Murder Time Trio Horror, he’s closer to the fanon version than the canon version because he’s high key magically lobotomized. I guess this would also fall into Dream’s fantasy of taking care of a knight lover, but instead of a knight, it’s some fucked up attack dog that escaped the fight ring that he found on the side of the road.

I really need to make a comic about his magical lobotomy.

I'm leaning towards the idea that Zandik started catching feelings first, but had no clue because romance and love aren't exactly at the top of his mind.

Feofan was initially weirded out with how he was suddenly getting special treatment among the test subjects and how obsessed Zandik started becoming with every change and scar to his body.

It isn't until after he became a Harbinger and the two started working as colleagues, that Pantalone started to realize "oh, he likes likes me."

Meanwhile, 2nd of the Fatui Harbingers over here was still unaware of his own feelings. When Pantalone began teasing him over how he clicked his tongue or grumbled whenever Pantalone hid his surgical scars, Zandik denied the banker's insinuations.

Then came the segments. After that, it only took a little while of watching every version of him constantly fawn and bicker over Pantalone for Zandik to finally realize "ah fuck, I'm gay."

Pantalone quickly grew fond of how each individual segment felt a sense of pride and possession over his health and surgical scars.

Lambda (25) was always obsessed with Pantalone's eyes. Always giving the most eye contact, always staring directly into those gorgeous amethysts that he had repaired, often getting lost in them. The surgical scar on Pantalone's abdomen from the liver transplant is Lambda's favorite spot to kiss.

Epsilon (45) quietly grumbling over Pantalone refusing the stomach transplant. But in return, he was very annoying about Pantalone's diet, something that the banker was often self-conscious about. Unsurprisingly, this did not stop Epsilon's snooping of any meals Pantalone had. Needless to say, it was a very strange feeling to have someone obsessing over your appetite and figure, but not in a judgmental way. It was all clinical fascination on Epsilon's part.

Omicron (65) always tracing his fingers along the scar on Pantalone's skin from the lung transplant. Even when fully clothed, Omicron traced it perfectly. Interestingly, he was the segment who bothered Pantalone about his smoking habits the least. Maybe because of that mask, Pantalone often felt the most like a precious lab rat when dealing with the oldest segment.

Omega (35) being the most suffocating with his obsession, because he was more interested in Pantalone's mental health than his physical. He hyperfixated on every change in emotion, taking note of everything that delighted or upset Pantalone. Every mood swing, every manic episode, every period of depression, every breakdown, every moment of fear—it was all documented and memorized. Every new pharmacotherapy drug in that lab was made for Pantalone and only for Pantalone. He can't help but wonder if Omega only did that to stand out among his other selves...

Delta (18) constantly touching Pantalone's forarm. He had memorized exactly what the chemical burn had looked like long after it had healed. He also took every opportunity he could to brag about the fact Pantalone is only able to keep wearing his "fancy furs" because of him. Also:

"I'm surprised you don't have one of those handbags made from crocodile skin."

"How much of a stereotypical aristocrat do you take me for, Delta?"

"Am I wrong in thinking you'd own something like that? You're obsessed with exotic furs. And I'd be able to acquire the skin for you."

"Reptile textures don't catch my eye. I'd be much more interested in a handbag made of the skin of my enemies."

"Understood. I'll see if I can gather the materials in time for your birthday."

"Wait, Delta, that was a joke–"

Theta (8) getting fed up with this snobby, nicotine-reeking adult (seriously, why are all of his older selves always drooling over this guy?) constantly losing or breaking his glasses. He finally made Pantalone his first ever pair with chains to help reduce the amount of times he loses them. Hopefully.

But it's not just Dottore who's fascinated over his partner's scars. Every gash from combat or burn from a miscalculated experiment is another mark to admire. Each segment was their own work of art with their own unique scars that told different stories. It was a shame they often healed so quickly...
