Hello, my name is Pigeon and I'll be your fanfic writer for the evening.
My askbox is always open unless otherwise stated so feel free to request headcanons or reacts or imagines or whatever. See below for my masterlist. Current fave is: Rocky Horror!
I don't write for Hades II characters just yet, but if you send requests for them in I'll hold onto them until I get around to playing it!
In terms of rules, I really have very few heavy nos, besides anything to do with children or pregnancy. Just not my thing. Anything else is probably fine, but don't be afraid to ask if you're worried!
For more reading check my ao3, where I post all my proper fics! Warning: a lot of my fics are dark and may deal with heavy topics so viewer discretion advised!

I keep forgetting to post about it (oops) but I have an entry in the Fandom Trumps Hate event. Obviously people who follow me here know me for my Hades stuff but I'll write pretty much any fandom I've written for before :D
Hi, I have been reading what you write and it's not fair you write Hades characters so excellently, if you don't mind, could you write a Zagreus x reader with a male or neutral gender reader? It's fine if you don't I just want you to know how BEAUTIFULLY you write him
Aww, thank you sm!!! ^^ for whatever reason Zag is the easiest Hades character for me to write lol? Anyway, here you go, hope you like it!
đЏHeadcanon Grab Bag: ZagreusđЏ
Zag's behavior won't really change much regardless of your gender. Tbh, i don't even think he goes for gendered pet names? I think he's more of a babe & honey kinda guy. I think the only thing that would change is an occasional greeting of "hey there, handsome" vs "hey there, beautiful"
Speaking of beautiful, Zag thinks you're absolutely gorgeous. Like, he cannot keep his eyes off you. He's prone to staring at you fondly and absolutely love-struck, completely oblivious to anything else. Once he was watching you so intently that he ran into a pillar and gave himself a bloody nose. Fuck, he was so embarrassed. It didn't help that Persephone saw him do it and immediately ran over to fuss over him. He had to go hide in his room for like three days after that. Achilles still teases him about it lmao
His love language is gift-giving and acts of service! So he's bringing you lots and lots of stuff all the time :D gems and nectar and ambrosia and he'll even try to make it to Persephone's garden so he can bring you some flowers! (He never makes it that far alas đ) he's also constantly commissioning stuff to make your life easier/better. He gets sad if you ask him to stop. He just wants to pamper you :( and he's got all these gems anyway, look at them, they're just gathering dust, c'mon you're doing him a favor really (just let him buy you things or you'll hurt poor Zag's feelings </3)
You can make him blush so so so easily. Compliment him or give him a gift and he's internally squealing and kicking his feet. He'll try to deflect the compliments back on you, but keep going! Call him handsome or clever or brave and he has to immediately find some excuse to leave because he's so flustered. "I... erm... I have to... I just remembered that Cerberus needs to walk! I mean, I have to walk him! Okaygoodtalkbye!" He's never walked Cerberus in his life đ¤Śââď¸
Insists on a kiss for good luck every time he goes out on an attempt. And what are you gonna do? Say no?? To his cute li'l face???

Finding Them When They're Trapped: Chthonic Edition (NSFW-ish)
đ˘Alectođ˘
Needless to say, Alecto is FURIOUS. Well. What she is usually is furious. Whatever this is defies any language whatsoever. She's hissing and spitting and snarling, looking more beast than person. Honestly, if she calmed down, she probably could've gotten herself loose by now.
"Hey, Alecto, you alright?"
"Do I look alright?!? Get these wretched things off me NOW!"
She's tangled up in chains, too haphazard to be intentional. You glance up at the ceiling, where the usual shackles that dangle from the roof of Tartarus are conspicuously absent. They must have gotten knocked loose somehow. You know better than to tease her right then. Alecto will not find it appealing. Instead, you crouch down beside her. "Hold still, I'll get you free."
She growls and mutters as you work the chains loose all "Damnable place." and "Curse Daedalus, and all his wretched contracters." and "If I wasn't trapped right now, I'd tear you to shreds." That last one comes when you accidentally pull the chains tighter. Oops. Eventually, you succeed in getting her free enough that she can shake the rest of them off.
"Better?"
"Bah, I didn't need your help. I could've gotten out just fine on my own."
"Of course," you say affably. Tbh, most of the time it's just easier to let Alecto have it. She's kinda like a really grumpy alley cat and it's far more adorable than you'll ever say out loud. Hey, you're brave but you're not stupid.
Alecto starts to storm off, but stops just at the threshold to the next chamber. "...Thanks." she says, in the same tone one would say "go fuck yourself."
Aww, she likes you <3
đśCharonđś
You're walking through the depths of Tarturus when you hear... splashing? That's odd. Sure, there's fish occasionally and definitely the sounds of the water rushing by, but splashing? That's just weird.
You peer over the side of the platform and see. Oh, fuck. Hello.
"Mghhhh?"
"Oh, shit!" You scramble to help pull Charon back onto dry(ish) land, the boatman shockingly light given his size. "What happened?"
Charon turns his head away, pulling his hat down to cover his face. "Mhhhh. Hhhhhhhhh..... mhhh," he says, almost sheepishly.
"You... fell out of your boat?"
"Mnn. >:("
"I'm trying very hard not to laugh, okay? You're just gonna have to deal with the smile."
"...mhhhh...?"
"Yeah, yeah, I promise not to tell anyone. I'm not that mean."
đChaosđ
Chaos had been watching your various interactions with the Olympians and finds them deeply amusing. It looks fun. They want to play too! Which is why you're surprised, upon your next visit, to find them sprawled out upon the stone, pinned at strategic locations by the weight of fallen columns.
"Chaos! You alright? What happened?"
"My realm has fallen upon me and I am now trapped. Helpless. Unable to escape from anything you may choose to do to me."
You stare at Chaos. They're...? No. They can't be. But what else...?
At your blank expression, Chaos tips their head. "You are confused. I witnessed the goddess Aphrodite play this with you. Have I misunderstood the rules of the game?"
Son of a bitch, they actually are. Congratulations, you're now going to have to spur of the moment dom a primordial entity while also digesting the fact that said primordial entity is apparently peeking in on your sex life. You just hope they're not gossiping about it with Zagreus...
"No, no, you've got it right."
"Ah, good." Chaos seems contented. "I struggle so to interpret the nuances of the realms above. Every time I blink there seems to be yet more."
"So, um, how do you want to...?"
"Hmm, yes. Pray, oh noble hero, take pity on me. Certainly do not ravish me and take advantage of my defenseless form. Oh, I shall give you anything to prevent this. I am, of course, lying. Happily take whatever liberties you please."
Well, with an invitation like that, are you just gonna say no?
đĽHadesđĽ
"Damn these blasted wretches! Not me, you fools, Zagreus! Zagreus!"
An all too familiar voice echoes through the chambers as you walk through Tartarus. Hades sounds more incensed than you've ever heard him before, which is a truly impressive feat considering just how long the list of things that annoys the god of the Underworld is.
You come around the corner just in time to spy a few of those weird hand things vanish around the corner. Hades writhes on the floor, wrapped from head to toe in chains and swearing vehemently. You lean over him, smiling cheekily. "And whatever happened here, Lord Hades?"
"Stop gawking and assist me this instant!" he barks.
You touch his shoulder, reliahing the way his muscles strain beneath the skin. "But you look so nice like this."
"Get off me."
The walls themselves shake as Hades roars, snapping the chains as if they are made of little more than paper. He gets to his feet, his eyes dark. "Never do that again. Not here."
He avoids you the next few days. You think he's still mad at you, but in reality he's just ashamed of his outburst. He feels bad for frightening you like that. In truth, he probably wouldn't have minded the situation if it hadn't been out in the open where any passing shade could've seen him. Hades is very much NOT into voyeurism. He has a reputation to maintain after all. But perhaps he might look into procuring some of those chains and presenting them to you as an apology of sorts...
đ¤Hypnosđ¤
Cerberus lounges in his usual spot, Hades himself missing, perhaps still fighting Zagreus up above. Oddly, the rest of the hall seems deserted too. Not unheard of, but definitely noteable.
"Hey, Cerberus."
The three-headed dog thumps his tail, happy to see you, almost muffling the faint voice coming from below him.
"Uh, hey? Is somebody there?"
You look a little closer, noting that you can see specks of grey and gold through the gap between Cerberus's head and paws. "Is that you, Hypnos?"
"Yep, it's me! Can you uh, maybe help me?"
"Cerberus, let poor Hypnos go. He's not your chew toy."
The dog looks thoughtful for a moment before deciding that no, in fact, you're wrong and also he wants you in the snuggle pile too. You produce a rather undignified noise as Cerberus's middle head scoops you up and tucks you under his chest.
"So, I guess you won't be getting me out, huh?" Hypnos chirps.
"Probably not." You have to admit tho, it is comfier under here than you thought it would be. And Hypnos is happy to cuddle up to you, sharing his fluffy quilted cloak.
"You know, I'm glad Cerberus got you too. Now we can take a nap together!"
You've got a dog and a snuggly sweet little god, what more could you want? I mean, besides air that isn't horribly warm and smells like dog breath. But other than that.
đ¤Megaerađ¤
"Ugh. Blast that Zagreus..."
"Hi, Meg."
"Oh no." Meg grits her teeth, clearly unhappy that you've found her in such a state. And, to be fair, being pinned to the wall by arrows is probably quite embarrassing for her. "Alright, get your jokes out and let's get this over with."
"That... that doesn't hurt, does it? It kinda looks like it hurts." You might have considered teasing her, but uh actually that does look really painful. You eye the spray of arrows spearing her wing to the stone, wincing at the black globs of blood that trickle down them.
"I've had worse. Just send me back to the House. I don't want to stand around here all day."
"Right." You're kinda used to the whole "death is faster and more convenient than dealing with whatever mess I've ended up" thing that all the Underworld denizens seem to have going on.
As you're leaning in to stab her, Meg whispers, "Next time you'll be the one trapped." and even days later you're still not entirely sure if she was threatening you or flirting with you.
đNyxđ
Of all the things you expected to find Nyx doing, attempting to free her hair from a rosebush was not one of them.
"Um... what's up?"
Honestly, you didn't even know Nyx could blush. "I... These flowers have proven a bit trickier than I first thought."
"Can't you just command them to let you go?" You're trying incredibly hard not to find this situation funny but you're pretty sure you're smiling anyway.
"They are not of this realm and therefore do not obey me. Perhaps, if you could...?"
"Yeah, yeah, of course."
"Pray, be gentle. Zagreus worked so hard to prpcure the gemstones required to commission them. I would hate for his efforts to go to waste."
Nyx has gotten her hair so impressively tangled that you're genuinely not even sure how she accomplished this. As you work, your mind wanders and you think about what it would be like if Nyx really was trapped. The words come out before you can reflect on whether or not they should.
"You ever play any games in the Underworld? Say, damsel in distress perhaps?"
"Hmm. No. You'll have to teach me. And I fear I am a hands-on learner."
Wait.
Forget the fact that you just flirted with a goddess.
Did she just flirt back??
đThanatosđ
"This cannot be happening. Not again."
You know that voice. You poke your head into the next chamber, unsurprised to see Thanatos but definitely surprised to see that he's somehow gotten himself tangled up in chains like a kitten in a ball of yarn.
"So... how'd this happen?"
"Oh, darkness." Than turns his head away, hiding his face under his hood. "Of all the people," he mumbles. "I tripped on the stupid things and now they won't let me go. The Chains of Death have never liked me."
"Or maybe they like you a little too much," you tease.
"Please... no jokes. This is already embarrassing enough."
You pinch Than's cheek playfully. "Oh, I would never make fun of such a scary god."
Thanatos swallows thickly, looking somehow even more embarrassed than he had just a second ago.
"Unless," you suggest, raising an eyebrow playfully. "he wants me to?"
"You and I are no longer on speaking terms," Thanatos mutters.
đŞTisiphoneđŞ
You haven't had much contact with the last of the Fury sisters. She spends her time in the most out of the way sections of Tarturus, the hardest of them all to stumble across by accident. Therefore, you're entirely surprised to find her in this chamber, so close to the House.
"Murder," she hisses, sounding all manner of annoyed. And fair tbh. If your wing was trapped in a door, you'd probably be annoyed too.
"Um, hey there. You need a hand?"
Tisiphone shoots her head toward you, but doesn't say anything, instead simply staring as you very cautiously approach. Carefully, so as not to hurt her further, you pry the door open to give her space to pull her wing free.
"Mrr," she huffs, flapping the wing experimentally.
"Everything okay?"
She snaps her gaze to you, just as sharp as the first time. "Murderer."
"Uh, no? I don't think so?"
She's looking at you so intently, so unblinkingly (can she blink?) that you feel like something about to be hunted. You take a step back and she reaches for you, her bony hand curling in the empty space.
"Mrr... mrr...." And then she makes a different noise. It's... the first sound of your name? Not all of it, just enough to be recognizable. Oh. Okay.
I think you're the first writer I've encountered that writes for Athena and Artemis with a GN reader! Which makes sense since they are either perceived as AroAce or Sapphic. I do have request about a male reader for these two but I wanted to check in to see if requests with male readers in mind regarding these two would make you uncomfortable?
I try to keep most of my reader inserts as neutral as possible so anyone can enjoy them, but I'm definitely not opposed to doing gender specific requests! (I do tend to lean more towards masculine readers anyway tho because I myself am transmasc :P)
Hi! I was wondering if I could ask for some headcanons of the âonly one bedâ trope with the Olympians (or just whoever you feel comfortable with) please? I really love your writing!
There's Only One Bed: Olympian Edition
For the sake of this scenario, assume you are in the beginning/crush stage of the relationship. Just to add a little more tension.
You're traveling with your god/ess of choice when evening falls and you have to stop for the night. But uh oh! there's only one bed available! Whatever will you do?
Warnings: mentions/discussion of exorsexism in Artemis's part
đЎAphroditeđЎ
Okay, so no shot Aphrodite didn't do this on purpose. Oh nooo, there's only one bed, whatever will we doooo~
Aphrodite is very okay with this situation. She titters and falls back on the bed, patting the covers beside her invitingly.
"You're not going to make me sleep all alone now, are you, dearest?"
If you absolutely insist, Aphrodite will let you take the floor (like hell is she sleeping on the floor, are you out of your mind), but she'd really much rather you come and cuddle with her. And... perhaps do something else...? đ
Aphrodite is a snuggly sleeper and will spend most of the night wrapped around you like an octopus. Her hair keeps ending up in your mouth. She smells absolutely delightful though and you wake up more rested than you've felt in years
âď¸Aresâď¸
"This is certainly... unforeseen. Well, nothing to be done for it, I suppose. I have slept in worse places. Come, perhaps I'll tell you about them as we prepare for bed..."
It barely even occurs to Ares to be awkward or reserved about it. Soldiers sleep in close quarters all the time. This is no different, really. And Ares is a gentleman. Even if he finds you attractive, he's perfectly capable of keeping his hands to himself.
If you're upset about it, Ares will be okay with taking the floor. He's not mad and nothing will change about his previous light demeanor, but he is internally deeply confused and a little hurt. Do you not like him or something :(
If you do sleep with Ares, he's perfectly pleasant and keeps everything above the belt unless you give him explicit signals. He smells like blood and steel and sweat, but it's not altogether unpleasant. If you snuggle up to him, Ares will hold you and be incredibly charmed <3
Just don't let him get started on those stories tho, or you'll be up all night
đšArtemisđš
Her reaction entirely depends upon gender. If you're a woman, she won't think twice about hopping into bed with you. She does it all the time with her hunting group, it's no big deal.
"You want left or right side? I'm cool with either."
She attends to her weaponry, oiling her bow and fletching arrows as needed, before she joins you. Artemis takes her cues from you, but assuming you have no problem with it, she presses up close to you and you fall asleep like a pair of nested animals.
If you're a man, she's a little more apprehensive.
"...You're not going to be weird about this or anything, right?"
It'll take Artemis a bit longer to warm up to men. She likes you, but she is still hesitant. Careful not to make any sudden moves! Embarrassingly (for her), her walls fall when she's asleep and she wakes up cuddled up to you anyway. She wakes up before you and you spend the next day wondering why Artemis seems so cranky (she's flustered lmaoo)
(This reaction is trans-inclusive btw. Artemis validates your gender so hard, she almost kicks herself onto the floor sksdsd) If you identify as non-binary/agender, Artemis's reaction will depend on your most common gender presentation and/or involve a lot of unconscious internal calculations about which side to assign you as. This isn't to be purposefully rude or transphobic, this is just an unconscious bias that she's not aware of yet! She will notice eventually and work on it, but probably not for a while without outside interference
đŚAthenađŚ
Athena takes it in stride, like she takes everything else. It's very hard to rattle her lol.
"Hmm. Well, we'll just have to make the best of it. Things could certainly be worse."
She won't hear anything about either one of you taking the floor. The bed is plenty big enough for you both. Like Ares, she has the mentality of "soldiers sleep together, there's nothing weird about this." However, unlike Ares, she rarely puts this into practice and it's only when she's lying down next to you does it occur to her what she's actually doing.
Athena is so so awkward to snuggle with. She'll never initiate it as she doesn't even consider it as something she could possibly want. If you do it she's like ??? what are you doing. Now, this isn't to say stop, but you are definitely going to have to deal with Athena being very very rigid until she works out how this is all supposed to work.
Anyway, if you do cuddle with her prepare to never stop. She won't admit it (even to herself lmao) but she liked that more than she thought she would. She definitely thinks you're mad at her if you stop cuddling. Why would you hurt her feelings like that :(
âď¸Demeterâď¸
"This is absolutely unacceptable. I'll see that something is done about this at once."
If there's an option, say you're staying at an inn, Demeter will immediately storm off and intimidate the innkeeper into submission. She will even turn the owner out of their own bed. You disrespect the gods so by trying to make her and her companion sleep on the floor?
If there is no alternative, well. Demeter certainly isn't sleeping on the ground. She's much too old for that. There's only one logical solution. However she fails to actually say this out loud. With words. And acts affronted if you start to set up on the ground. Is she so awful that you'd rather take the floor?
In bed, Demeter keeps strictly to her side of the bed. She won't think to increase her body temperature until you start shivering and then she'll gently chastise you for not telling her in the first place. It takes a while for Demeter to warm up to people, so assuming you've hit the crush stage, she's already softened enough that the idea of snuggling is charming. She's a little apprehensive at first but quickly relaxes and can't help but pull you even closer.
đDionysusđ
Dionysus is completely cool with this. I mean, what did you expect, this is Dionysus we're talking about! He's taking this whole thing without even blinking and honestly, barely even considers a world where either one of you spend the night on the floor.
"Guess we're getting real close tonight, huh? Neat. It's been a while since I've had a good slumber party."
Insisting on sleeping separately will bring out the rare "pissed Dionysus." What do you mean you don't want to snuggle with him?? He thought you two were mates??? What the hell, man???? After that, he sure as fuck isn't giving you the bed and will give you the cold shoulder for the rest of the night. He's mostly over it in the morning but he is still upset. Forgiven but not forgotten. That one hurt, y'know? He has feelings too :(
Assuming you are fine with it, you're not going to get a chance to initiate snuggles. Dionysus has already thrown his arm around you and has launched into some story or other. Good luck getting him to shut up long enough to actually sleep lol
đŞ˝HermesđŞ˝
This scenario is incredibly unlikely with Hermes. He knows the whole of Greece better than anyone (he's been up and down it enough times!) and he knows exactly the best places to catch a few winks for the night. Unless...? Yep, you guessed it! Hermes engineered this one as an excuse to snuggle with his crush. (That's you btw)
If you're at all perceptive, you might even clue in on the fact that he did it on purpose. He's oddly insistent on sharing, even though he usually brags about being able to sleep anywhere. He's talking a mile a minute. Like even faster than he usually does. You can barely get a word in edgewise because he will. not. shut. up.
"Just one bed? Hope you're not a blanket hog! Because I am! ...That was a joke, haha! I actually kick in my sleep."
He does. Btw. He also rolls around like a hamster on crack. The only way to stop him is by snuggling him, thereby pinning him down. Good luck getting him loose if you have to pee tho, that fucker holds on TIGHT.
Planned on confessing his crush to you that night, but chickens out unless you catch on and confront him about setting this all up. He'll find his courage. Eventually. It will take him approximately fifty tries and a swat upside the head with an oar via a very fed-up Charon. Look. he's great at delivering at message. Less so at talking about his feelings.
đąPoseidonđą
You're insane if you think Poseidon is sleeping on the floor. Anyway, you're also insane if you think Poseidon is letting you sleep on the floor. Usually a crush stage would imply some manner of awkwardness but Poseidon is VERY forward with his romantic interest.
"Come on and get comfortable already! What are you waiting for, an invitation? Well, here it is!"
This would be the catalyst for your relationship. Poseidon just can't help the way he's looking at you, the way his hands are wandering. If you reciprocate, he's thrilled and eager to ramp it up. Kiss him. You'll stun him for a second and make him blush.
Poseidon is a cuddler. He also snores. And there's no way in the world to make him stop. Enjoy!
âĄď¸ZeusâĄď¸
If there's an option, say you're staying at in inn, Zeus will immediately storm off and intimidate the innkeeper into submission. ...Hey, wait a minute, didn't we do that one? You're insane if you think Zeus is sleeping on the floor. Anyway, you're also insane if you think Zeus is letting you sleep on the floor. Wait, didn't we do that one too?
Zeus's reaction is a combination of Demeter and Poseidon. Assuming he can't get his way, Zeus tidily assumes you will be sleeping together and soundly forgets to inform you. Like Demeter, he'll get pissy if you try to set up elsewhere.
"And whatever do you think you're doing? I'll have none of that now. What kind of monster do you think I am, to turn you out of a warm bed?"
Like Poseidon, his hands start to wander. He won't blush if you kiss him, but he will laugh heartily and that's almost as good. The only way to fluster him is to goad him into admitting his feelings for you. You've never seen him so red and honestly no one else probably has either.

This isn't a request I'd just like to make you aware that Zagreus absolutely has a praise kink I should know I'm one of his skull shoulder things thank you for listening
He absolutely does <3 be nice to him for too long and he will absolutely melt. Cuddly zag puddle. Go even further and you might even make him blush and cover his face and beg you to stop lmao (keep going, it's adorable)
Hello! Your Charon fic is really cute. Would it be possible to request something of Hypnos with a shade reader who is his partner and loves him to pieces, but is very intimidated by his family? If you do a style other than headcanons, you can choose if itâs written as headcanons or something else. Iâve just had this thought in my head for a while because Hypnos feels like the easiest one for someone to forget exactly what he is, especially compared to Thanatos, Charon, and Nyx.
Sorry if this makes little to no sense. Keep up the good work with your writing!
đ¤Hypnos x Reader Who's Intimidated By His Familyđ¤
(Thank you for the sweet compliments!! <333)
Ngl, Hypnos initially just straight up doesnât notice for a while. He's a bit oblivious lbr. It'll take a good handful of repetitions of you being visibly anxious in front of him or you straight up telling him that you're a bit intimidated by his family before Hypnos will catch on.
At first Hypnos is completely startled. He's staring at you like :O
"You're afraid? Of my family?? But... they're such softies!"
He's completely confused. How could anyone be afraid of his brothers?? They're such sweethearts! Oh! Wait! They are kinda scary, huh? Well, that just won't do. He loves them and he loves you and he can't have the people he loves not speaking to each other!
Before you can get a word in, Hypnos is grabbing your hand and dragging you off to go find his brothers, rambling the whole time.
"You just haven't really met them yet. You'll see! C'mon, here, I'll show you! Now, where did they go... Oh! Hi, Than!!"
"Hello, Hypnos. And... shade."
"This is Y/N, remember? You've met them before! Aren't they cute?" Hypnos pushes you forward for Thanatos's inspection, who looks at you without any change in expression. "Y/N was just telling me that they think you're scary, but that's silly, right? After all, there's nothing to be scared of! You're so nice!"
You're so embarrassed you think you might die. Luckily, or well, unluckily, you're already dead.
"Oh. Right. I do know you. You're the person my brother talks everyone's ear off about. I didn't know you were a shade. It's nice to meet you... again. I wish I could talk longer, but duty calls." Thanatos disappears with a faint chime and a burst of sickly green light.
"Bye, Than!"
"Hypnos, you really didn't have toâ"
"Nonsense! What kind of partner would I be if I let you be afraid and didn't do anything about it?" Hypnos chirps in his usual light and airy tone. He's not usually so fast, but he manages to scoop you up before you can say anything else and whisks you off into the depths of Tarturus to find Charon. Hypnos plops you down in front of his second brother and starts the same spiel all over again.
"Y/N here thinks you're super scary, but that's not true is it, Charon? You just look a bit spooky, that's all."
"Mnghhhhhhh."
Honestly, this isn't really how you expected your day to go and you wish very much that you were literally anywhere else. You feel so overwhelmed and anxious, your heart pounding in your chest. Your head spins.
"Nhhhhh?"
"No, you're right! Y/N... you don't look so good. Are you okay?"
Charon puts his oar aside and very gently helps you to the ground. Hypnos flits about, concerned and confused and really not doing much but getting in the way. You love him, but he really kinda sucks in a crisis.
"Mnhhhh....hhhhhh."
As Charon speaks, you find that you can understand him more and more. He smoothly helps you down from your panicked state and even has you laughing before long!
"See? My brother isn't scary at all!"
Despite Hypnos's uh... less than stellar handling of things, it does get better after that. Hypnos care about you and because of that neither Thanatos or Charon really want to hurt you. They both make efforts to come talk to you more, and soon you'll be just as comfortable with them as you are with him (hopefully lol)
Hypnos can't help you with Nyx tho
"Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one! She is super intimidating, right?"
Afraid of his own momma, poor baby đ I don't blame him tho, she is super intimidating
can I ask for a charon sfw and nsfw relationship headcanons. He so fine in an unconventional way.
đśSFW & NSFW Headcanon Grabbag: Charonđś
I'm very sorry to the anon who asked for this uh... *checks notes* ... two years ago... but uh. i finally did it? So... um. anyway. oops.
SFW
Charon is an absolute sweetheart when it comes to you. Just lovely all around. Like he's completely head over heels for you and everyone can tell. When you're in a room together with multiple people, Charon only has eyes for you. He may drift from your side on occasion but nine times out of ten he sticks right next to you.
His lack of lips makes it nigh impossible for him to "properly" kiss but that doesn't stop him from being affectionate! He's a nuzzly boy, nestling his face into your shoulder or hair and making soft little noises like a purring cat. He adores your kisses and gets so soft for them. He will blush and pull his hat down if you kiss him in public.
Strong! He doesn't look it but rowing his boat all the time plus wearing that heavy gold cloak makes him super physically fit. (Also you know. He is a god. Or near enough anyway.) He can carry you with just one arm. Would happily wear you on his shoulder like a parrot ngl
Complete gentleman. He'll offer you a hand to help you in and out of his boat every single time. Do you need his help? Probably not. Should you refuse his help? No!! You'll hurt his little Charon feelings :(
Loves to decorate you. Always draping you in jewelry or tucking flowers into your clothes and hair. You'll know he's down bad if he ever throws some Obols into his decoration. Tbh, he's like a dragon. He's lowkey added you to his hoard at this point. Just maybe watch out that he doesn't attempt to physically put you in it lmao
NSFW
Slow and methodical. Always. You can rile him up all you like, but Charon will never be hasty or quick with you. He prefers to take his time, to explore your body like it's the first time he's touching it, even if you've been lovers for years.
His "tongue" is made of a kind of ecto-slime and it can extend much further than you think it could. He's also far too clever with it for his own good ;)
My headcanon is that all gods have some degree of atypical genitalia. The Olympians can swap theirs out as they please but Chthonic gods can't. I hc Charon has two dicks, one placed just above the other. They're skinny, a little longer than usual, and disturbingly bendy.
His cum is purple. Non-negotiable and I humbly refuse to believe any claims that it is not.
He produces a lot more smoke when he's aroused. Luckily, it is breathable but by the time you two are done, you will be in a cloud. He's also super embarrassed about it so maybe reassure him :(
(For me and the like two other people who find him hot lmao. gif credit)
Warnings: canon-typical incest mentions & sexual themes
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Transylvanians don't culturally have much aversion to touch, but Riff is definitely on the more reserved side of it. Casual touches are saved only for those he is very close to or comfortable with. While he has no outright problem touching other people, his touch will become more intimate and personal the closer he gets to you. More prone to lustful displays like kisses/bites than hand-holding. I can, however, see him kissing your knuckles with a very playful smirk. He tends to keep most of his displays of affection away from the public eye, and as he doesn't get a lot of free time away from Frank, he becomes very clingy when the two of you are in private.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Literally just show a single iota of interest toward him and you've gotten on his good side. He tends to come off as uninterested and impersonal (he is) so anyone actively seeking his company is met with cautious surprise. He will initially be suspect but once your intentions are proven to not be malicious, he mellows out and allows the friendship. He initially doesnât think much of an Earthling but as you continue to hang around, his attachment to you grows. He finds himself complaining about Frank to you, lamenting the never-ending list of tasks, the cruel way he's treated. Time spent with Riff is usually tagging along after him as he does his chores around the castle. He used to find this incredibly annoying. Now he finds himself getting lonely when you're not there...
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Cuddlebug! While initially stand-offish, once Riff gets to the point in the relationship where he feels close enough to touch, you. just. cannot. get. him. off. of. you. Every spare moment he gets, he is wrapping around you like a snake. Loves to rest his bony little chin on your shoulder. And definitely wants to cuddle afterwards, if you know what I mean ;3
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
...Not yet. Maybe one day, but Riff's got some social climbing to do first. A fuckton of unchecked ambition in this boy. Remember to cheer on your new boyfriend as he assassinates the local monarchy <3 As for cooking and cleaning, he's okay with cleaning but you are going to have to help him out a bit with cooking. He can cook, but he usually doesn't eat unless someone reminds him. Magenta has threatened multiple times to pin him down and forcefeed him. It's a manifestation of his self-destructive urges. Plus the alcohol and drugs mess with his appetite. Someone bring him a snack before he passes out.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Break up? Riff won't break up. He's incredibly possessive and passionate and once he's latched on to someone, it's almost impossible for him to let them go. Even if you lose interest in him... uh. Too bad? As soon as Riff gets a chance, he's chasing you down and bringing you back. Once you're in, you're in for good so I hope you didn't have any plans of leaving!
F = Fiance(e)Â (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Riff would want an extremely small wedding. Just you and Magenta, preferably. He's an extremely private person and wants to keep you sheltered from anyone else's view. He won't fuss if you want a bigger wedding, but his possessive streak will trigger and he'll spend most of it standing at your side like a guard dog. It would take him a while to propose. He wants to make sure he gets the moment perfect. If you propose first, he is lowkey kinda irritated (he has massive control issues) but he is quick to snap out of it. Will still do a proposal of his own anyway. He claims it's to share Transylvanian tradition with you but like. he's really just mad that you beat him to the punch. He had PLANS, damn you.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
He is capable of being tender, but he prefers to play on the rougher side. While he likes to keep the actual actions private, the results of said actions are another story entirely. He's a big fan on leaving marks all over you, in places that are almost impossible to conceal. He may also deliberately poke any hidden bruises you have and then pretend he absolutely did nothing of the sort. You know he did that on purpose. He knows you know that he did that on purpose. You know that he knows thatâ You get the picture. I guess you'll just have to mark him up right back!
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Less hugs, more that he just kinda collapses on you. He likes to hug you from behind, his face buried in your shoulder. Usually this is followed up by some sort of grumble because he generally only does this when someone has annoyed the shit out of him. These are pretty much the only hugs he initiates. While he is quite clingy, it's generally not in the form of a typical hug and he usually saves hugs for when one or both of you is feeling upset. Hugs given by Riff involve his arms being completely wrapped around you with your head tucked to his chest while he strokes your hair. He prefers to give hugs sitting down because he's too short to hug most people in the way he wants to hold them đ (If he hugs anyone taller than him, he feels really sensitive about his height. It doesn't usually bother him but somehow hugging never fails to make him feel tiny. He will begrudgingly suck it up if he really has to and compromises by guiding your chin onto his shoulder instead.)
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Only says it if you say it first. Specifically that sentence though. Has no problems with calling you "my love" or "my darling" but apparently adamantly refuses to say "I love you" unless directly prompted. Little weirdo.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when theyâre jealous?)
The single most jealous man in the galaxy, second only to Frank (and that is an incredibly close second.) But unlike Frank, Riff is a lot less likely to make it obvious. You might not even be able to tell he's jealous, because he does it so subtly! He tends to feel unwanted if you spend too much time away from him or if he thinks you're enjoying yourself too much with someone else. He won't say anything but he will lurk nearby and scowl at the offender. If it goes on too long, he'll go behind your back and scheme to get rid of the person in question, forging letters or inventing rumors to separate them from you. In his perfect world, you'd be on Transylvania, shut away in a nice little cottage on the shore where no one would ever see you bother you again. What can I say, he's possessive as fuck.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Tender. Playful. Rough. Toothy. Riff's kisses come in a broad spectrum, but they most often tend towards the domineering and forceful. He doesn't kiss on the lips very often because when he does, he struggles to pull away. His kisses are invariably passionate, his hands running up your sides and along your hips as he feels you up. He likes when you kiss his cheeks (it makes him feel cared for and wanted) and his knuckles (that one gives him a power trip lol)
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Oh Riff. Poor Riff. Riff wants kids. Unfortunately he doesn't actually like kids. And kids don't really like him. They find him scary. Riff takes this personally and doubles down on being absolutely icy. I feel like he'd be passable if the kid wasn't afraid of him, but like... just passable. Nothing more. He's not getting the father of the year award any time he's soon. Like he's definitely trying his best, he's just not emotionally equipped for parenthood. Also judging from the script of The Old Queen, Transylvanians seem to have this cultural incest thing going on so uh... maybe don't give this man a child. Or like at the very least get him some therapy before you do.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
He's up first and gone before you wake. He'll kiss you on the cheek in your sleep before he leaves, but Frank's demands are incessant and Riff has to get up early to keep on top of everything. The rare free mornings he gets, he'll stay in bed with you as long as he can, playing with the ends of your hair or just watching you while you sleep, utterly entranced. He still isn't used to something so pretty climbing into his bed and he doesn't think he ever will be.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
As a Transylvanian, his libido is intense. He's in the mood at least once a day and he'll need to take care of himself pretty frequently if you don't want him getting cranky and pent-up. He usually throws one go 'round in around bedtime. He will be a bit insulted (petty bitch) if you can't keep up with him, thinking that you just don't want to be with him. You can mollify him pretty easily by honestly just cuddling with him or being nearby while he sorts himself out. He gets lonely by himself :(
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Riff is honestly a lot more chatty than you might think. He does tend to keep to himself, but any expression of interest in him will pretty quickly coax him out. He feels alone in the castle so, even as closed off as he is, he's honestly pretty desperate for connection. Just disregard his generally grumpy attitude and keep hanging around, and it won't be long until he's treating you like a friend.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Somehow both incredibly patient and extremely touchy. Riff sits perpetually in a state of irritation. Everything in this world annoys him. To the untrained eye, he looks like he always wants to kill someone. And well. They're not wrong but it does take him a fair bit to actually get to that point. For him, killing is the final option. He will try all other methods of getting his problem to go away before getting out the ol' anti-matter laser. Unfortunately by the time he's gotten to that point, he's usually super stressed out and anything that isn't explicitly on his side qualifies as a potential threat. Best not to let him get that far. You might want to run some interference before he starts losing it a little. And definitely do NOT cheat on him. That'll trigger his rage like nothing else.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Riff is a conniving little creature. He's always watching, always listening. Always storing stuff away in the back of his mind for safekeeping. Of course he remembers. He remembers things you don't remember even having told him (you didn't tell him.)
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
You stood up to him to Frank. Riff prides himself on his ability to adapt, to react, but he stares wide-eyed at you for a solid minute after you do it. No one's ever done that. Especially not for him. Even Magenta knows better than to intervene when Frank's in one of his moods. He can't decide if you're incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. Honestly, this'll push Riff right over the edge. Regardless of how he felt about you before, he's gone for you now. Done. Totally attached. And you're not getting rid of him now. Ever.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
I've already mentioned just how possessive he can get, right? He can be just as protective. But he's still the same slinky little creature we love. Riff protects in a very sideways, coming at it from an angle kind of way. No, he won't throw a punch for you in a barfight. He's not some kind of action hero. His help is more subtle. If Frank is in a mood, he "conveniently" remembers some issue that just absolutely requires Frank's immediate attention. Maybe he knocks something over. Unfortunately his sly side will bite you in the ass because he won't always protect you. He has been known to keep back and let you take the brunt of a situation if it furthers his plans. He makes sure to make it up to you later. (Although it's not like he ever lets you know what it exactly it is that he's making up to you for...)
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Riff does go out of his way for you but he tries not to make it obvious. Total coincidence that he just happened to know what your favorite dessert is, don't all Earthlings like sweets? He will be a bit more open as the relationship progresses, but in the courting stage he's definitely very secretive and almost shy (he's nervous okay, he's never actually courted anyone before. Sex, yes. Romance, no. He's a little lost here, take pity.) You'll probably have to lead with dates and such, otherwise Riff will stick to just generally hanging around you. It won't occur to him to do anything special because you're already so special to him. (Also he's super occupied with other stuff and his brain is almost completely fried. It is a miracle he is able to function at all, get this alien a break and a union rep)
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Oh boy, where do I even start? The cocaine habit? The drinking problem? The constant secret-keeping and plotting? The jealousy? The unchecked lust for power? The weird situationship with his sister? The fact that he's definitely kidnapping you to Transylvania regardless of your opinion on the matter? This guy is a literal quilt of red flags. He is really cute tho
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
It's... fine. Surprisingly. Given all his other problems, you'd expect him to have a vanity problem. He doesn't. He's normal about this one. Like he definitely does like looking nice, but no more than anyone else. This is shockingly one of the only things he's actually normal about.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Aha! Ahahahahahaha! You're so silly :) Losing you would absolutely destroy Riff. And you better hope Magenta's still around to rein him in, otherwise he's fucking LOSING IT. Like full-on massacre of the entire galaxy, ascension to the position of evil court vizier and genocide everyone in sight losing it. This bitch can NOT deal with the loss of people he cares about in anything approaching a healthy manner. His already tenuous grasp on his self-control will snap and he's just going full god complex. Also if you die, I would advise being entirely disintegrated as you do it or he is going to have your body preserved.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
In my heart, Riff is actually a lot sillier than he initially comes off. Have you seen his smile? He's just a playful little guy :) My man just wants to dance and have fun :) and also overthrow the monarchy but we don't talk about that part. During the events of canon, he's just really fucking pissed because he is absolutely SICK of Frank's shit by now and just wants to go home already.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldnât like, either in general or in a partner?)
A prude. Being a Transylvanian, Riff just cannot stand any reserved or judgemental attitude toward sex. It'll annoy him like no other. Also, anyone who doesn't like Magenta is an automatic no. They're a package deal, you get one you get the other free of charge <3
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Hypervigilant as fuckkkk. He already didn't have a great childhood and Frank's constant whipping is certainly not helping with his trauma. Riff has trouble getting to sleep and wakes up at the slightest noise. He can often be found roaming the castle at night just because he simply cannot get back to sleep.

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Uber snuggly very physically affectionate cuddlebug. Eddie is always hanging off his friends and you're no different. Absolute nuisance about it though. Constantly playing with your hair or climbing on you or picking you up or poking you or tickling you. Undiagnosed ADHD king and always looking for something to fidget with. Sometimes (often) that thing happens to be his friends. Will generally back off if he's told no but not for long. Often has a tendency to forget that he can be a lot.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
As a friend, Eddie is already ride or die so you can just imagine what he's like as your bestie. Tends to be extra clingy and will always catch up with you between periods even if his next class is way the fuck on the other side of the building. Can and will hunt you down if you don't come and eat lunch with him. As his best friend, you get treated to exclusive jam sessions and discussions about D&D. That last bit's non-negotiable, sorry. Whether or not you play, Eddie is going to use you as a sounding board for bouncing ideas off of. You're also quite lucky because, being so close to him, Eddie lets you see the softer side of himself and not just the bold persona he puts up for the rest of the world. You'll need a strong personality to match his own if you hope to vibe with him and he'd absolutely adore that you can dish out as much as you take. Lots of flirting, jokingly or otherwise. The kind of relationship where people genuinely get confused on whether or not you're dating.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Your best bet for snuggling with Eddie is to put on a movie he likes or catch him when he's sleepy. Eddie's huge on physical affection but he's also a public menace and will pester anyone in touching range. If he doesn't have some sort of distraction, cuddles will very quickly turn into wrestling or tickling.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
My man hasn't even graduated, give him a minute! Maybe in the very distant future? Honestly, he hasn't even given it much thought to what he wants to do with his life, never mind what he's going to do when he gets old!
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
He just wants it over with. Assuming it was because he fell out of love, Eddie would feel super guilty about leading them on. He wants it done quick and easy but he can't work up the courage to actually go through with it so he probably just... avoids them. This man isn't even twenty-five yet, do you think he's going to be at all emotionally mature? He acts cold and distant until confronted, at which point he will ashamedly let on what his problem is. After the break up, Eddie is cautious but willing to let things return to the way things were before the relationship, you just have to push through his weird vibes until he mellows out again.
F = Fiance(e)Â (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Hasn't really given it much thought to be honest. Eddie is deeply committed to his relationships and would never cheat on his partner but marriage? He hasn't thought about it. Would likely defer to whatever his partner wanted. If they want to get married? Sick. If they don't? Also cool, doesn't mean he cares for them any less.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Eddie is a nice complicated soup of contradictions. He's blunt but he's kind. He can be mean but he can also be incredibly sweet. Eddie will roughhouse but he'd never actually hurt someone. His friends anyway. He would cut a bitch if someone else started it. As you get closer to him or if you're nice to him or if you're just a nervous person in general, Eddie will let his coarser outer shell slip. He can be a bastard but he (mostly) knows when to pull his punches.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Probably won't initiate them, but absolutely loves receiving them. Unlikely to give hugs in public but behind closed doors, Eddie gets really clingy. If he's upset, he will bury his face in your neck and hold you just a little tighter.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Platonically, Eddie has a lot less reservations. If he's swept up in his emotions (or high), he's a lot more willing to just let whatever's in his head slip out. Most likely to save it for extreme circumstances like dying if you brought his homework to him and it's due like right now and he needs this last assignment to graduate or else he'll fail again. Romantically, Eddie is a good deal more shy about it. He doesn't want to move too fast or overstep and push you away. Praying you'll say it first, but if you don't, he'll let it slip by accident at some point anyway. Either he's high off his ass or he's just caught up in a burst of strong feelings, but it'll get out before he can stop it. After he says it for the first time, he just never stops. Tends to save it for private moments between the two of you, but Eddie will tell you he loves you every chance he gets.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when theyâre jealous?)
Despite his outwardly cocky persona, Eddie is actually quite self-conscious. He gets hurt very easily if his friends choose to spend time with other people over him, but he can mostly hide his feelings about it. His jealousy might manifest in a few snide remarks about the person in question and, if he's feeling really petty, something bad happening to your character in D&D. Mostly, though, he manages to keep it to himself. However this immediately goes out the window for a romantic partner. Someone flirting with you? Yeah, sorry, you now have an Eddie surgically attached to you for the rest of the evening. He's not extremely possessive but he is also rubbing up against you like a cat marking their person so take that as you will.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Eddie's a dramatic bitch. He lives for kissing the back of your hand like he's some gallant knight who just vanquished a dragon for you. He may also get down on one knee to do it if he's feeling particularly whimsical. Not to say Eddie isn't capable of giving other kisses. He loves kissing you on the mouth and on your cheeks and on your forehead and in your hair and on your neck and pretty much everywhere within reach. Gives the most kisses when he first wakes up and he's all sleepy and silly.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Kids love Eddie. Eddie does not care for kids. Anything below high school age is on thin fucking ice. As he gets older, I feel like he'll grow to like and even want kids of his own, but for the moment he's still in that "too cool to hang out with children" stage of his life. Eddie, bestie, you practically are a children.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Slow. Eddie doesn't go to bed until like midnight so, assuming he woke up that morning at all, he's going to spend the first hour or so in a cranky half-asleep fugue state. When he first wakes up, he's very sweet and cuddly... until he actually has to get out of bed. Has said some very unkind things to the toaster during his mid-morning tantrums.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
If he had a choice, he'd be exclusively nocturnal so it probably won't be spent sleeping. His uncle works the night shift so he doesn't really concern himself with keeping the volume low (despite his neighbours' desire to kill him dead) and will definitely try to entice you to stay up and blare heavy metal with him. Usually has a smoke in the evenings before bed because it helps to settle his mind.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Anyone pretty much knows Eddie's deal from the first minute they meet him. A bold, loud, and opinionated motor mouth, Eddie refuses to even pretend to be one of the normies. He's is pretty forthcoming with his thoughts and feelings so generally all it'll take to get information out of him is a simple question, assuming you can't already guess from the way he's acting. There are certain things he does keep to himself though, things that you won't get out of him unless he's in a really bad place emotionally. Because he's failed to graduate so many times he feels really self-conscious about his intelligence, but won't ever admit it until it's bothering him so bad he's actively having a mental breakdown about it.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Eddie doesn't get mad really. Irritated, annoyed, or perturbed sure, but the most you'll ever get out of him is a slightly raised voice. Holds a grudge but also forgives easily, so long as he receives what he considers an adequate apology. His definition of adequate will fluctuate wildly depending on the severity of the crime. Spill something on him? That's cool, accidents happen. Miss a D&D session? May the fires of Hell have mercy on you because Eddie certainly will not. You better get down on your knees and BEG for that man's forgiveness because he's not letting that shit go unless you were like in the actual hospital. And even then he's very lowkey like I know you had appendicitis but can you maybe schedule that better next time? Maybe consider how this affects me.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Eddie has a memory like a steel trap (see: remembering the clothes Dustin and Mike were wearing when he met them, and also that he learned Master of Puppets on the guitar in like two weeks considering how long the song would've been out at the time.) Unfortunately, that memory only kicks in when he's super engaged with something... or just at absolute random. Eddie will recall the strangest shit about you. He'll remember what your pencil case looks like and what your favorite arcade game is and the exact spot you held hands with him for the first time, but what day your date's at? Uh.... Eddie better be scribbling that on his arm real quick or else it is absolutely gonezo. Has probably stood you up at least once and felt super bad about it because he legitimately forgot you two were going to hang out. He feels awful about it, he just struggles with keeping things straight in his head. Forgive the poor boy please, he's trying his best :(
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
Help him study and Eddie will be your best friend for life. He struggles so hard to keep his grades up and he just wants to be OUT of this damn school already. If you help him do that? Eddie is over the moon. He appreciates you attempting to explain concepts in a way he understands or gently steering him back on task. If he wasnât ride or die for you before, while he certainly is now. He also lowkey loves the way pencil smudges and pen ink look on your hands, and he may or may not get distracted staring at them more than a few times.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Eddie is extremely protective over his friends and he displays it by way of making himself a target instead. He's bold and loud to draw attention away from other people, taking all the bullying and cruelty onto himself. Eddie hates seeing his little flock get hurt and will always step in to protect them. He feels devastated and awful if any of his friends get hurt despite his efforts. Most people tend to view his behavior as Eddie just being Eddie, and it is mostly, but they don't often think about just how often Eddie plants himself square in the firing line. Eddie doesn't even consciously think about it, it's just something he does, so imagine his surprise when you stand up for him. He loves knowing you have his back and feels absolutely giddy having you there. Eddie will mostly rely on intimidation factor because he honestly kinda crumples like wet tissue paper in a fight, so if you can throw a punch, he's gonna fucking fall in love with you right that minute. Seeing someone else initiate will also bolster Eddieâs courage and he'll probably get physical too. After a few seconds of staring at you with wide-eyed adoration because oh my god you just punched a guy for him!
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Eddie is a man of extremes. It's either all or nothing with him. He agonizes over gifts until he finds the perfect one, will plan special occasions down to the smallest detail, but also tends to be super lax about dates. Eddie just likes to hang out on them. He doesn't need anything special to do that with you, he just needs you.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Eddie's a true sweetheart at his core, but he's also a bit of an asshole. He's rude and brusque when he's upset, but at least you can generally tell what's upsetting him. He's also a total snob, looking down on anyone he considers a normie. By default, cold to people he can't immediately clock as one of the freaks. Frequently inconsiderate about hobbies he doesn't share, i.e. basketball. A complete elitist about metal culture and probably looks down on battle jackets that don't contain strictly band patches/pins.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Eddie's not vain per se, but he does definitely care about his outward appearance. He doesn't outright preen in front of the mirror but all of his clothes are chosen to match a certain aesthetic. He likes the way he looks and he dresses that way on purpose, but he's also not like putting a whole lot of effort into it, yknow? He takes pride in the way he looks but not to the extent that I'd call him vain. About average level of liking to present himself the way he wants to.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Now I'm not saying Eddie goes into a depressive spiral upon a break up, but I'm also not NOT saying that. Eddie loves with his whole heart and is quite thoroughly devastated when his feelings aren't returned. He'll try to brush it off and play it cool, like it's not a big deal, but he's also playing sad songs on his guitar and laying in a limp puddle on his bed so take that as what you will.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Secretly loves chess but won't tell his friends because like... that's nerd shit. And Eddieâs a freak not a nerd, c'mon. He's not one of those super smart, straight-A geeks, he's cool and he's edgy and sure he likes tabletop games but not LAME ones likes chess and checkers. Plays his Uncle as often as he can even though Eddie wins pretty much all the time.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldnât like, either in general or in a partner?)
Conformity. Eddie hates people that aren't weirdo freaks. Be too typical for him and he's barely giving you a second glance. But to be fair, he can deal with boring. He won't like it but he can play nice if he has to. The real thing that gets on his nerves is bullies. Eddie despises people who pick on others and he'll make sure they know it. Being needlessly cruel to someone in front of Eddie is a good way to piss him right off.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Eddie sleeps like a nightmare. He talks in his sleep, he drools, he gets the absolute worst case of bedhead every night no exceptions, he kicks, and on top of it all he rolls himself in the blankets like a burrito. It's not like you can wake him up either because that boy sleeps DEEP. But it might just be worth it in the end, because every morning Eddie will wake up just enough to wrap around you like an octopus and mumble sleepy words of affection into your skin. His big brown Bambi eyes are still so dopey with sleep that you're not entirely sure he's actually fully conscious but that just make his ooey-gooeyness all the sweeter actually. He'll say yes to anything you say right now, to the extent that you could probably convince him to shave his head, move up to the mountains, and become a monk. But maybe don't do that. Maybe just convince him to make you breakfast instead. (Actually don't do that either, he'll light the trailer on fire.)
