🥮: i totally get the yakuza imagery! especially cus the floral sorta pattern he has in his first design looks likes a yakuza tattoo!

below is a small drabble based on the scenario you gave me! i like exploring the dynamic between Adam and Ruby a lot. They feel like long lost siblings to me ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚

There was a small miscalculation Adam made when he raided the recent Schnee Dust delivery point, and now he was curled up in a dark alleyway hissing to himself as he wrapped his ripped up shirt around his bleeding wound.

"Bunch of softies... all of them," he groans to himself as his head rests against the brick. Maybe because he was in so much pain putting pressure on the wound he hadn't yet noticed the short girl looking curiously at him.

"Whatcha doin'?" Ruby chirped innocently, tilting her head to try to get a look at what he was clutching, "Oh gee! You're bleeding out!? Do you need an ambulance? Uhm..uhm... oh god, I wish Weiss or someone was here..."

Thanks to the fact that his mask was off and his iconic White Fang attire ripped up to bandage his wounds, she seemed to have no idea she was talking to a notorious criminal.

"Kid, shut up... please." He grunts, trying to stand up and walk past her as if he didn't have an open wound actively bleeding out. She panics, holding him up when he stumbles.

"Hey! I'm 16! Old enough to help, right?"

His eyes narrowed at her naievete and happy nature, but he wasn't really in the state to fight or argue.

"How the hell could you help? You don't even look like you know what a-" he coughs up a bit of blood, heaving a dry metallic taste in his throat.

"Stop talking, mister! It's only gonna make your injury more painful!"

"Mister..?" he mutters under his breath in disbelief. Did she think he was like...old? He wasn't that... whatever.

"Yeah..? Are you not... a mister? I didn't mean to assume!" she flusters, almost dropping him to the floor. He groans, limping and she hurriedly catches up to him and drops him off at some shady spot in town where he was waiting to get picked up.

"Just go. I'll be fine." He sighs, trying to push the insistently helpful Ruby away. She pouts.

"Someone's going to pick me up, so stop worrying alright?" Adam flicks her forehead surprisingly tenderly for a man who claimed to hate all humans. Ruby reluctantly leaves him, albeit she very loudly looks over her shoulder to check on him every few seconds. Granted, it grated his nerves, but there was a sincerity to it that he couldn't help but find... nice.

And now, flash forward a few weeks, Team RWBY find themselves in a dilemma. Surrounded by Grimm far above their weight class and without any convenient tricks or adults around to help them. They're beaten bloody and worn out from the relentless attritional nature of the nonstop swarm. They seemed to have stumbled into a nest of some sort and the fighting seemed endless.

"This is why we should've left when we all heard that weird sound..!" Blake hisses, her swords clashing against sharp claws.

"Now really isn't the time for pointing fingers..!" Yang says in that slightly panicked but still lighthearted tone she always kept about her.

Ruby, however, was not able to banter and talk quite so easily. Her scythe had run out of ammo, and swinging it around like a melee weapon was not her preferred choice of battling. With a ferocious growl, she finds her scythe in the jaws of a huge Grimm, and she struggles to stop the fangs from sinking into her as the wretched scent of dead meat and its saliva permeates her nose.

"Ugh..!" She winces. None of her teammates have the time nor space to help her. But, miraculously, the Grimm falls to the ground. Disappearing in a flurry of rose petals. Her eyes grow wide and they shoot up to see the notorious White Fang mask and that striking red hair.

"We're even now, kid." He ruffles her hair, almost playfully. She reminded him of the other little orphan kids he had to take care of in the White Fang.

"Y-Y-You're White Fang..?!"

He smirks, snorting as a click of his sword kills all the Grimm. Shooting them all in their fatal spots instantly, and Team RWBY's eyes all shoot towards the perpetrator. Blake almost falls to her knees in fear just seeing him.

Weiss speaks up first,

"What the hell business does a White Fang member have saving us?"

Adam turned around slowly to see Weiss. Schnee. His scar twitched violently, but he kept his sword sheathed. Without another look toward Blake, knowing that he'd probably do something he'd regret, he walks away, leaving medical supplies and ammo in Ruby's hands. She was still standing there in utter shock and confusion.

"W-Wow... That White Fang guy... he saved our butts!" Ruby chirped, "Who would've thought, huh?"

Blake grimaced, utterly baffled by his actions, but decided not to say anything so as not to expose her relation to him.

This time I wanna know you craziest head cannon

about Adam.

Mine craziest HC about Adam is his name

Everyone say his name is taken from the

Disney Beauty and the Beast, Beast's name

Adam.

But my take, I think it's reference to The Bible

Adam, the first man created by God.

(Same time)

Adam, the first male character Monty created.

You see?(And I deeply sorry if I said too much)

🥮: I don't know if this is that crazy, but my headcanon is that Adam had his bull tail cut off and it won't regrow properly but he has a little stump there. My even crazier headcanon is that they used to whip him with it back in the factories.... I'm sorry Adam, my imagination puts you through so much suffering.... I swear it's from a place of genuine interest!!

🧁: mine is that he might be half human and that's another reason why he hates humans so much. like a deadbeat father type situation which fuels his vengeance as well.

I wonder if we could have more HC

Like, what would it be like to go on a date with Adam?

That would be interesting.

(And love your works as always : )

🥮 : hello again!! i loveeeee seeing your asks in the notifs, so please keep them coming! sorry this took awhile, the admins talked abt it and we've decided to first reply with HCs and then we'll write longer fics about some of our ideas!! hehe. it may be multipart, we'll see.

asking him out?

i can't really see adam asking anyone out, unless it was just like an outing that he needed to go on with them anyways. strictly professional type guy, but that's what makes the gap moe when he's actually sweet on you when you're dating even better!

it's not necessarily that he's shy or anything, he just doesn't see the point. he cannot imagine people wanting to spend time with him (latent self-deprecation) so he doesn't reach out, but he would never say no to a date with his loved one.

what's the date?

adam would probably seem a bit reluctant and like he's not having fun when you drag him out...but he'd probably just not know how to actually have fun. once you figure that out, you could drag him around and do whatever you like and he'd clumsily follow along; he would act like an out-of-touch old man trying to follow trends if you made him do anything out of his comfort zone.

if he was picking the date... maybe it'd be something he thinks sounds interesting at first. probably a little dangerous/thrill-seeking. a darts bar, axe-throwing or even white-water rafting. something a bit exciting. if you get scared, he'd chuckle before holding you close and keeping you safe. if you fail miserably, he'd gently guide you and teach you slowly about proper technique. if you do even better than him, he'd smile proud of you before playfully admitting to defeat.

he'd love a friendly competition, but he would be an extremely graceful loser and a very humble winner. attributing it to a little extra work, or just a bit of luck.

what's he like?

he seems nonchalant, but he does care. it might seem like he's not as invested or trying as hard to be affectionate, but he shows it through the little things. listening intently to your conversations, bringing things up that you talked about before, and pointing things out that you might like.

adam would be such a non-performative gentleman. like it just comes to him so naturally. whether that be walking on the side next to the road, carrying your things or putting his arm around your waist when you're crossing the road.

🧁: my turn hehehhehehheehehehehe, tbh when writing for adam i can never self insert (bc i am gay asf) so i write like hes interacting with another character (like an oc) so i can have a very specific dynamic in mind so its easier to write so anyways here are my headcanons

asking him out?

like other admin said, i feel like he wouldn't ask you out on a date outright, he would maybe work his way around it like "hey i need to go into town to pick up some weapons for the new recruits, mind coming to help me carry them?" and then he'd ask you if you're hungry or whatever and you end up doing everything but what you originally went into town for and then after your questioning wait...was that a date or was he just being super nice. but if you do ask him out very bluntly he'd be like wow yes i am honoured and i would love to while secretly freaking out on the inside like oh shit oh shit oh shit this is actually happening (see images)

what would your first official date look like?

like i said if HE asked you out (i use that term very loosely) he would probably just take you around the town and try to figure out what you like and what you don't like so he can use the information for future dates, like he takes you to an mistrailian (or whatever they call things from mistral) café to see if you like more quiet days out and to laser tag to see if you prefer more active dates. if you asked him out however i feel like you would probably stick to a nice picnic in the woods near a cliff or some other scenic view (maybe forever fall forest) just to sit down, relax and get to know each other a bit better since at this point you don't know much about eachother other than the fact you find each other attractive.

what he's like

i feel like at first he would just focus everything on you, what you like, where you're from, what you do in your spare time not just because he wants to know more about you but hoping if he distracts you by giving you all this attention you wont ask as many questions about him and his past. you do though since you want to get to know him on a deeper level and he is at first very avoidant of it or gives vague answers; for example if you ask him why he doesn't show his eyes he'd answer something like "oh yeah, nasty scar under this thing. picked a fight with the wrong person when i was a kid. trust me i'm doing you a favour by covering it up." and leave it at that. of course he would eventually open up but the last person he opened up to about it left him heartbroken, so please forgive him for having some trust issues ‹/3

that's just my take at least, i do think he's an interesting character in the sense there's a lot to explore about him (which the show kind of forgot to do oh well its okay we can do it for them) especially with his relationships, i do think he'd be a lil toxic and a possessive (at least if you dated adam in the canon verse and not an au) but that's why its fun to write about him!! so many ways things could go

🥮 : as the admin who was going crazy the other day and posted five headcanons in a row, we will of course be posting more hcs!!!!

🥮 : these are my picks!! a little self indulgent. i kinda see him wearing high fashion suits or something practical and thrifted. i see him wearing lots of secondhand leather... this is bull on cow violence. i feel like he prioritises silhouette/structure over practicality.

.・゜-: ✧ :-　　-: ✧ :-゜・．

🧁 : i feel like he used to dress like a grandpa until blake taught him how to dress.

.・゜-: ✧ :-　　-: ✧ :-゜・．

📺 : he's basically a sluttier punk shaun of the dead.
