Confetti and Dirt

Not in any particular order or format, just random thoughts and momemts I thought up while being obsessed with this voracious psychopath LOL Please feel free to ADD ON if you think of any yourself! I might come back and do a part 2 later

Alma loves to feed you, it makes her feel needed and proud to know just how well she takes care of you. She doesn't always cook exactly what you want, though, she definitely prioritizes feeding you health foods she insists is important you to eat - when it comes to spoiling you and taking care of your health, in her own ways, Alma keeps a strict balance

But when you behave yourself especially well, or if theres a special occasion to celebrate, Alma will absolutely cook a 5-course meal of all your favorites just the way you like it (which just so happens to be just the way that Alma prefers to make it)

Will always give you the last sip of her wine, making sure you place your lips over her lipstick stain on the glass. When she doesnt share and takes it all for herself, you know shes stressed or upset

Alma would push and push as sweetly as she could, practically beg you to let her paint you. She'd prefer to paint you nudes, to keep a portrait of your perfect body hung in her bedroom as a decorative memento of her carnally motivated but artistic appreciation for you

And if you do, this woman will not shut up about how gorgeous you are, from cooing sweetly to growling with desire, Alma doesnt let silence linger long during any sexy/artistic sessions with you, she has far too much to say when shes focused on you in those special ways

Loves to call you "Little girl " as a proud and possessive form of endearment, sometimes with a "My" added in if shes feeling especially loving. But when shes upset with with you she'll call you that in a bitterly condescending tone, like a warning to remember your place

Singing duets together and dressing up in pretty gowns and dancing in the living, maybe reenacting a love scene from her favorite musical, or more leisurely singing show tunes in the kitchen while Alma cooks dinner and you do whatever you can to be helpful, which touches her heart hat youre so eager to listen to her instruction and advice

Alma isn't ashamed or bothered by her more unsavory attributes and she doesnt want you to be either, but she'll try to keep any violent or gorey business away from you unless its necessary to inform you for your owm safety. She wont actively try to rope you in with her more shady activities but if things get out of hand, Alma needs to know youre all in with her

Putting up a firepit in the backyard and drinking wine and nibbling on snacks under the stars, soaking up the firey warmth and that of cuddling togther with you in her lap, her insisting you werent too heavy and she wasnt too old to hold you like this

You listening to her philosophize and wax poetically about the terrors of a boring life, a life where abiding by the law and conventional mortality mattered more than pursuing an indulgent life of vivacious hedonism and how happy and even relieved Alma was that her crazy life got to include you

If Alma is around when someone tries to flirt with you, she'll try to divert their attention, change the subject and give them a chance to back off. She has better control of herself than to make a scene by outright claiming you or threatening some random person who didnt have a chance you, not when you had Alma. Mostly, Alma will just passive aggressively insult them and do it in such a sweetly smooth way, playing up the image of a lovely old lady who's blunt honesty and sharp perception is to be expected and not questioned; she'll give them a dressing down thats full of back handed compliments until the intruder scampers off.

Mr.Mercedes - Alma Lane

Summary: Being the romantic partner of this precious rag doll with a heart of gold who cares about everyone… and you, ahhh, they're so adorable.

Type: Romantic, headcanon

Warning: Trauma, fear of abandonment

═💞══╡°˖✧💌✧˖°╞══💞══

I fell in love with her; she's the reason I'm a lesbian.

First, I want you to know that you have the best girlfriend in the entire digital circus. She's the most loving, caring, kind… SHE'S PERFECT, AND YOU NEED TO KNOW IT.

Ragatha would take care of you in a maternal and protective way; I think that was more than obvious because she has all the hallmarks of being a mother.

If, for example, you hurt yourself, she'd come running to see how you are… I mean, she knows you can't feel pain, but she doesn't want anything to have happened to you; she would never forgive herself. She would quickly call Cainde if she saw something had happened to you, like what happened to her with Kaufmo.

She would offer words of encouragement when the abstraction seems too close. Her love is expressed through service and attention to detail.

However, her biggest challenge would be accepting being cared for. Due to her underlying trauma (possibly emotional abuse that made her feel inadequate), she would struggle to believe that she deserves to be loved unconditionally.

Your most important role would be to constantly reaffirm her worth, not for what she does for others, but for who she is: "You are enough just as you are." This would help her, little by little, to become more vulnerable and share her burden.

The best moments would be the simplest: sitting together on her bedroom balcony looking at the artificial stars, helping her sew new patches on her dress, or simply spending a quiet "day" away from the hustle and bustle of Jax and the others.
