#v.ash

(like with c.loud... warning for non-detailed starvation talk because my new favorite traumatized blonde also has problems. so many problems. oh dear god he has problems.)

(OTHER NOTE: this is for my own personal v.ash i write with. i do have some hcs for 98 v.ash and 23 v.ash specifically but this guy's a mix of both)

* first and foremost: as a Plant (basically a living nuclear reactor), he has Quite the metabolism. he can photosynthesize to some extent, but it isn't enough for him; he has to eat human food and is capable of starving, but can last longer than your average person. he's gone ten months without eating before, though it was a miserable experience for him.

* incredibly self-sacrificing. it literally does not matter how bad he's doing, he will always put other people first. his body could be giving him hell and he'd still give up what food and water he has for other people because he believes he doesn't 'deserve' it as much as other people.

* as a result he is just. so hungry. all the time. at this point he's used to it, it's been a very long 100+ years of going hungry because he has major issues, but he's still a little embarrassed when his stomach decides to complain...

* and it, like him, is decidedly loud and insistent. it's a lot quieter when he actually eats his fill, but he usually doesn't, so he's generally in fucking hell. personally he just feigns ignorance. that ain't him. sure he hasn't eaten in days out of guilt but that ain't him. don't worry about it, what about you, are you okay, do you need something to eat?

* because of his own bullshit he gets nauseous pretty easily just because he's so damn hungry. this improves if he actually fucking eats. he just decides this is his life now. absolutely no one who travels with him is happy with his decisions, especially when he throws up in the desert and has the nerve to be like "i'm fine don't worry about me".

* when he DOES eat, he can actually pack away quite a bit. it comes with the territory of being almost constantly on the move and overexaggerating his actions to seem harmless, if INCREDIBLY weird. along with being, you know. a living nuke. it's a little impressive considering he's the lankiest 6'6" beanpole. good luck seeing that though.

* not to bring being a trans man into this but everything just gets worse when he has his period. he is in a hell of his own fucking making.

I saw you mentioned you liked Vashwood in one of your posts, do you have any spare hcs you could share?

HI GUESS WHO LET THIS SIT IN THE INBOX FOR A MONTH AND NEVER ACTUALLY TOUCHED IT FOR SOME REASON. first of all, hi, i fucking understand, i love v.ash so much good lord. my traumatized blonde man who needs so much more help than he allows himself. or that anyone else really gives, but, you know. i'll be pulling a little bit from some of my writing and roleplaying for this so it might be a little softer than canon!

Btw I wasn't sure what kinds of hcs you want, given I'm. A kink blog. But I tried to add in some non kink ones.

W.olfwood generally does not Get why V.ash treats himself like shit, at least not for a while; he has his guesses, but it takes him awhile until V.ash straightup tells him one night that he feels like he has to be useful and helpful to deserve anything, and that's when W.olfwood is really like. Ah shit. I will make sure not to take no for an answer from this point on and make sure he knows he deserves to be allowed to take care of himself even when he's not useful or even if he thinks he fucked something up. Probably even especially then.

Unfortunately V.ash will still skirt the line and undereat, but after a certain point you have to go "something's better than nothing and maybe he'll break and actually fucking eat." Especially with him.

And W.olfwood picks up pretty quick on the kinds of things V.ash likes but is nervous about asking for because... truthfully... the man isn't subtle. Sure, he would eat just about anything, but W.olfwood notices really fast that he's especially excited about salmon, sweets, and fruit, which he never asks for because fruit and fish are pretty damn expensive, but. Look. Sometimes a guy wants to spoil his boyfriend with a massive guilt complex, okay?

In rougher times with less money - or if V.ash is just being especially stubborn - he'll give some of his ration bars. They're not by any means good, but they at least give some respite from the constant hunger V.ash deals with for a little while.

As for some non kink ones:

They are both idiots. Together. V.ash is generally the goofier of the two because he strongly believes in faking it until you make it, but he also has so many stupid things to say and he may very well just die if he doesn't get to say them. It's contagious. I think they're both loosening the other up in different ways here.

W.olfwood also learns very quick that genuine kindness is not something V.ash is used to, and a little scared/intimidated by, and it lets W.olfwood go back a little to being a caretaker. He thought it was something he lost, but the neurotic plant makes him care, damn it, and he's slowly slipping back into being more gentle and loving, at least for V.ash. Other folks might still be on their own. Especially when he sees the thanks V.ash gets for his trouble.

Similarly, V.ash is gentle and close with W.olfwood; even if at first it's just W.olfwood doing his job, they still enjoy each other's company and V.ash... well. He tries to do a lot for him. He wants to help and listen and convince W.olfwood he's not a monster. They're both trying to convince each other of that.

but for one very brief moment in t.ri98, i Got It.

v.ash getting so emotionally distraught and fucked up that he undergoes a LOT of transformation, becoming more of a planty bird beast than anything, and struggling to get control of himself for a couple days and the combination of body doing things it normally doesn't and the spent energy of losing control of his emotions just
