Headcanon for the Arcana main six when they’re sick because I have a cold and I feel shitty and writing something dumb will make me feel better.
Rarely gets sick, so it’s always a surprise to him when he does.
He already naps like six times a day so how could you even tell.
Like, is he drinking more tea because his throat hurts or because he's just in one of his lapsang moods??
Low-key ignores that he’s feeling shitty and doesn’t say anything to anyone until you mention having to leave the house or do something productive and he’s like, “Yeah, we should........” and then starts CRYING SUDDENLY
And he doesn’t even know what’s wrong he just feels terrible and he’s shivery and his joints hurt and... :’(
He’s so relieved when you cancel your plans and make the executive decision that everyone should stay home and rest.
After that he’s low-maintenance but very clingy and just wants to cuddle on the couch and watch cartoons read books all day.
Handles being sick like she handles everything else... gracefully.
A countess does not catch a cold, my darling.
Sick? No, dear, she’s simply... Thinking. With her eyes closed.
Denies it until she really starts to feel horrible and then politely retreats to her bedroom to save face more than anything.
Is very selective about who she lets take care of her but definitely sends out for the finest and best cold treatments money can buy.
Apologizes for “looking a mess” after you enter, even though her hair is still perfect and her nose just is a little red.
Probably still tries to run the country from bed bc honestly
Refuses your help for the most part but thanks you from the bottom of her heart for being so sweet as to offer.
Eyes the shelves full of neti pots... but will never be that desperate sorry Julian
Refuses to rest when he’s starting to get sick, if anything doubles down on working too hard because HA HA he’s not going to let some puny cold get in his way!
And then oh look he’s running a bad fever and you have to haul his stupid, delirious ass off to bed while he continues to weakly insist that he’s fine.
Definitely whines about the dramatic irony of it all.
When he’s finally too sick to get out of bed, the regret kicks in.
Tries to refuse your help at first because no no please he can feed himself you don’t need to worry on his account.
But he secretly obviously feels extremely guilty that you have to take care of him and worries that you’ll get sick too and then it will be all his fault for being so [insert self-deprecating adjective].
But after some insistent nagging (”JULIAN GET BACK TO BED”) and maybe a reminder that you love him more than you’re afraid of a cold, he finally gives in and lets you take care of him.
And then he is a good quiet bb
Just lets you feed him soup and pet his hair and is absurdly appreciative that someone would be nice to him in his lowest hour
Much like Julian, tries to power through her cold because she has work to do and momma didn’t raise no punk.
But once someone tells her to take a sick day she’s actually really good at taking care of herself because she knows that her health is important!
You go to make sure she’s okay and she’s already curled up in bed with Pepi and a cheesy romance and/or detective novel just chillin’ through her cold.
But I bet she also knows all of these weird home remedies like layering wet socks on your feet for a fever or drinking baking soda water to beat out her cold. (Thanks Mazelinka)
It’s hard to tell if they work but hey, if it helps her feel better, you guess it’s fine??
Also she has the immune system of a large and powerful horse so she’s better before you know it.
"Are you okay? You look pale.” “................. I’m fine.”
Two days later you find him passed out in the woods or something
Trying to drag him to a bed is a Monumental Effort so it might be easier to just leave him on the floor and bring the pillows and blankets to him.
He doesn’t talk much when he’s healthy and so is DEAD SILENT when he’s sick.
But he seems like the type to mumble deliriously at the height of his fever about his parents or his deep deep guilt or something.
It’s actually really worrying for a minute when he doesn’t even have the strength to fend you off when you’re trying to take care of him.
But it’s ok, this mountain man sleeps for like two straight days and then gets up REALLY HUNGRY but otherwise like nothing happened.
You know he’d be so good at taking care of the few people in his friend circle, though... Would never leave their side... Murieeel my booooy
Well there was that one time he caught the plague.
Which didn’t go poorly for anyone, so. He’s probably really cool with it.
I’M KIDDING Lucio is a fucking menace.
People die when he gets a cold.
Your kink better be babying people because that’s the only thing that will stop his incessant, childish whining.
Honestly the best you can do is load him up with NyQuil, lock him in his room, and hope that he wears himself out before he decides to give his cold to every other human in the palace out of bitter resentment for people who Aren’t Suffering.
He would be pretty funny with a cold, though, right
Trying to haunt your ass and then, like, sneezing
Honestly this level of sitcom idiocy is exactly what I want
Can’t get sick because magic snake but could you imagine her with a little thermometer in her mouth tho... ;w;
