Some Darrius and Dairou energy

A regular day for Havik & Darrius. (sort of based on Darrius' "Here, Catch!" Brutality)

🫧Bathtime with Havik Headcanons🫧

Felt like writing something fluffy and relaxing about forcing this delinquent to take a nice bath with you :)) 2nd-person POV, g/n reader, sfw!

🫧Havik definitely isn't keen on the idea of just sitting in a tub with you for seemingly no reason. He doesn't see the appeal in luxuriating in warm water and fancy smells. It had been a busy week, and all you wanted was to enjoy a bit of downtime with him since you knew he would benefit from it too, whether he realized it or not.

🫧-"Join you? And do what, just sit there?" he'll scoff. His upbringing in Seido's lower caste has given him a particular view on self-care; even now, as he lives a free life on his own terms, Havik still sees bathing as a necessary chore that should be done as quickly as possible to get back to whatever he was doing (likely causing trouble, let's be honest). He'll spend a few minutes getting himself acceptably clean, if that, and nothing more.

🫧Whether it's by sheer insistence or with a clever ruse, you're able to convince him to join you. He'll take off his armor and the few clothes he wears beneath, and climb into the tub with you.

🫧Havik is a large man; his considerable height makes it a bit difficult for the both of you to get comfortable together even in a large bathtub, but you figure something out together. He'll sit upright in front of you, his back towards you, sulking forward a bit to make sure you know that this isn't what he wants to be doing. Muttering to himself how this is a waste of time.

🫧Your gentle touch will start to change his tune, though. You'll run your hands softly along his back, feeling the tension slowly dissolve from his muscles. Your fingers will glide over scars and poorly healed cuts, but Havik won't mind; your touch feels nice to him. He might not express it often, but he trusts you more than any other.

🫧The warmth of the water and sweet aroma of the candles will work their magic, and the Seidan will lean back into your arms, even closing his eyes, his head resting on your shoulder as you both recline together. Quiet moments like this are exceedingly rare with him, and should be treasured. You'll run your fingers through his hair; his long black locks are softer than they have the right to be, given that their owner hardly takes care of himself beyond the bare minimum. Should your fingertips brush up against the scarred surface of his cheeks, he might tense up a bit. He isn't quite used to being touched there, or at least not in a tender fashion... Not like you do.

🫧To your surprise, given that he was initially about as eager to bathe with you as your average house cat would be, you'll have an even harder time convincing him to get out of the bath! You'll have to shake him awake after he's fallen asleep in your arms for a few minutes. When you'll tell him that it's time to get out, that the water is getting too cold for your liking and there are other things you need to get to before the day is over, he'll groan in protest.

🫧-"Come on, just a few more minutes!"

After working on it for quite a while, I'm finally satisfied with it: Here's my Havik playlist!

I've never really shared a playlist I made for a specific character before, but feedback is appreciated. It's mostly industrial with some metal and electronic sprinkled in, since that's my wheelhouse. I tried to limit myself to one track per artist to keep things varied, but Nine Inch Nails and Processor are my favorites and their harsh, abrasive sound fit the vibe I wanted perfectly, so they're the exception. And, of course, you can't go wrong with KMFDM for this guy.

And now, for something that appeals to basically no one but me:

Every once in a while, like a brick to the head, I'm stricken with a violent urge to draw a character I really like wearing a silly outfit. The mental image of Havik with those scene queen raccoon-tail stripes in his hair came to me and I rolled with it. I've had obnoxiously bright neon 2000's scene fashion on the brain lately for some reason, so here he is being forced to play dressup against his own will with Mileena. At least she's having fun!

Come on and slam and welcome to the jam

Hey, new blog, wow!

I decided to finally create myself a sideblog to post the cringe I very rarely make that I don't feel fits well on my main. I'm okay with people knowing that I'm mentally deranged, but the general populace doesn't need to know exactly to what extent. Anyone here though, you guys are good.

My current obsession is Mortal Kombat (particularly MK1, more particularly Havik, that disfigured fictional man has had an iron grip on my brain for the past month). My interests tend to change every few months so I have no idea how long I'll be sticking with this type of thing, but might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts. I like to draw and occasionally write, and will be dabbling in writing headcanons every once in a while.
