What’s your professional opinion on Steven receiving hugs? From people like: his dad, the Elite 4, Wallace, Lance, maybe the other Champions, Hoenn protags, his fans, random grandparents, Ash, etc. Just a guide to hugs. Because I love writing them in all sorts of situations but he does not look like a hug initiator or receiver to me unless if everybody dog piled him over almost dying again.

i love how this is worded in a way to imply that i am a steven professional lol

i feel like steven is both very predictable and variable when it comes to hugs? his default would probably be something along the lines of "i don't like random strangers coming up to touch me, people i know have MUCH more leeway" if that makes sense. and yeah i also think that 90% of the time steven is not the one initiating hugs but from how i write him (professional stevenliker knowledge or headcanon?) he only does it when trying to express how much a person means to him, almost always in gratitude :) this ask made me go back to my drive and find an excerpt from one of my scrapped fics to make this point, congrats

and just because you listed like 10 different scenarios that i have thoughts on, i'll just ramble and put them under the cut so this post isn't a mile long haha. click for oddly specific thoughts on a png of a fictional rock man hugging other png fictional people

joseph - these two just don't understand each other at all so there's def a lot of tension between them. granted steven is the source of 85% of the vitriol of their relationship so if joseph hugged him it would either be 1) him standing there and just taking it in a "whatever" way or 2) fuck that, steven has backed away so no hug can even take place. pretty much the only person in steven's circle of "people i know" who doesn't have the same leeway as any other person in this area

the elite 4 - they'd absolutely fit under the "DOGGY PILE ON STEVEN!" thing! steven knows his elite 4 well enough to know that they'll do this, and he won't get mad at them either because sidney or phoebe suggested it because steven looked a little down or something :)

wallace - undoubtedly the person who has the most permission to hug steven, and probably the only person (outside of blood relatives) who steven himself initiates hugs with even if this situation is quite rare. mostly a kind of dynamic you'd see with any typical introvert and extrovert friend pair!

other champions - mostly how him and wallace's dynamic works, but slightly more lowkey. i'd like to think he considers the other champions friends (with a specific bias towards cynthia and lance being better friends than the others) so he's okay with getting hugged, but will be a bit miffed if he's caught up in a surprise hug rather than being asked, "hey can i hug you?" steven will rarely, and i mean RARELY initiate a hug in regards to this group (the scrapped fic i mentioned above did have a scene of steven giving lance a hug, only because i feel like as one of the younger champions steven sees lance as the Fucking Coolest Person Ever but that's for a different headcanon post lol)

other members of his family - much more open to his extended family! probably has a SUPER soft spot for his maternal grandparents hugging him, and would not hesitate to hug them in the exact same manner he would his mother

protags/ash/fans/ect - grouping them all here in a "people i may vaguely know" kind of way lol. extremely creepy fangirls? don't even think about it. your average fan? he would probably politely decline most days. brendan/may? he wouldn't mind, nor get mad when the kids decide to tackle-hug him. ash? probably the same as the hoenn protags
