Something about the Raph/SA fetishisation/Viv situation that doesn't sit right with me is that... Stolas' pilot voice actor (the one with the deeper sultry British accent) was FIRED over someone alleging he sexually assaulted them.

But here they are, Raph's rape/non con fetish being brought to the table and Viv... hides the tweet pointing it out? Oof.

Did you think I was joking

Volt is more of a cat person and tries to avoid Sacha when he first arrives at the Gehabich household. He’s pretty stressed out by all of the stuff that’s happened to him and Lync, and copes mainly by doing chores around the house. On the one hand, Alice is relieved that she does not have to clean up after everyone by herself, but on the other hand he sometimes runs out of stuff to do and starts detailing. He pushes couches around to sweep under them (Sacha gets nervous when the furniture is rearranged), mops the kitchen floor twice and applies granite polish to all the counters (lunch gets a bit delayed so it can dry), and accidentally mixes up the medicine and spice cabinets in an attempt to organize all of the bottles and containers by size and shape (they still have no idea where he hid all of that paprika, they had to buy more on an emergency grocery trip while he and Dr. Michael re-sorted the cabinets).

One day, sensing that Volt might try and stick some dry-clean only linens in the washing machine if he doesn’t clean up something, Alice gives him a shovel and some thick jackets and tells him to shovel snow off the driveway. He does. He also shovels the lawn, and the backyard, and the road, the neighbors driveway and lawn, he basically shovels snow the whole day without eating and falls asleep in a snowbank. That night, he wakes up in the local clinic with pneumonia.

The entire Gehabich household comes to his room so they can yell at him. Sacha is the only calm one, which leaves Alice and Dr. Michael to do most of the sensible scolding, ‘What were you thinking’ ‘You could killed yourself’ ‘Don’t do anything like that ever again’ and at first Lync is yelling the same things at him too. Then he loses his composure and hugs his big brother while crying and the scolding turns into ‘please don’t do that again’. Hydron hangs back to pseudo-calmly explain to the nurse that Volt knows nothing about snow and didn’t realize how close he was to giving himself frostbite. The nurse comments on how much he is shivering and his ultra-dilated pupils, and Hydron all but kicks him out.

They are sent home with a prescription for medicine that they can’t use on a Vestal, and an infinitely more helpful lecture on the medical hazards of being exposed to sub-zero temperatures for too long. Volt is couchbound for a week after that, and it’s hard for him to breathe for nearly a month after, and it is very hard for Alice to keep the house from falling apart without his help. Sacha stays by his side every night he’s bedridden. If it weren’t for her, he might have come out of the whole ordeal much worse for wear, which he gives her credit for.

It’s either during or soon after this time that Volt gets really comfortable around Sacha. Volt tries to be a little (a lot) more careful about dealing with earth stuff. Alice tells him to take it easy more often, Lync spends more time with him, just talking and hanging out. Hydron tries to help Volt through what Hydron believes is the same depression that he went through, remembering how Alice helped him. He’s a little off the mark sometimes, but his intentions are good. They’re both a little sick right now, but they’re here to heal, and heal they will. 

(Hope you don’t mind that I broke up the word wall into paragraphs!)

I’m really excited to see your AO3!! Please send me a link asap!!

And oh my god I love this headcanon so much?! It’s also kind of impressive that Volt shoveled the neighbor’s drive too since the Gehabichs seem to live far away from other people (the Russian countryside, I suppose).

Edit: Volt Anon’s AO3 account is live!

Dan is about to throw down with the Vexos on behalf of the Resistance. It’s Volt and Mylene, and they look serious. Dan marches right up to them and squares up against Volt. Dan’s an entire head shorter than him, but he makes up for it with spunk. Dan starts with some trash talk.

“That’s a big nose you got, buddy.” Crud, that wasn’t even good.

“Thanks,” Volt replies, looking mildly offended. “I got it from my father.”

Without skipping a beat Dan remarks,

“Wow, I bet he misses it.”

Volt kinda stares for a second, Dan’s face growing pink from embarrassment while Volt puts two and two together. Dan’s just about to die on the spot when suddenly–

“HAH!” Dan jumps, Volt’s laugh was one sudden burst.  Volt’s expression is so much warmer, he looks like a different person.

“That’s a good one! Hey Mylene–”

“I heard.” Mylene is staring at Dan with an apathy so intense he’s sure Shun would be put to shame. Dan stares back with a stance that says ‘Lets’s Brawl!’ but eyes that say ‘I guess I’ll just die.’

The brawl is hard-fought, but brief since Mylene refused to battle after that exchange. When they get back, Volt excitedly tells the rest of the Vexos about what happened, Mylene drinking some coffee from a ‘World’s Best Grandma’ mug to prevent from slowly lapsing into the void.

Spectra is understandably underwhelmed, but Gus mentions that the joke sounds “Exactly like Dan” in such a fond way that Spectra wonders if he should keep sending him to brawl Dan alone. Lync needs to have the joke explained five different ways before he gets it, and the moment Shadow hears it he runs off to tell Hydron, accidentally interrupting a video call with Zenoheld. Zenoheld claims he can tell a better one and the rest of the video call is just Zenoheld telling awful jokes while his son pretends to laugh and slowly lapses into the void with no ‘World’s Worst Grandma’ mug to save him.

OMG I love this I can’t stop smiling thank you for submitting it <3 lemme know if you ever get an AO3 account and post this there, and I’ll add a link here!

Volt?..
