AHAHAHA THE PROPAGANDA SPREADS DELISHOUS

It's me back with 10k propaganda-

I propose 10k HCs of then functioning like a normal person after a engery drink and or some candy cause he has low blood sugar after his Canon event to have a BPM of 6 :)

10K with a BPM of 6 Headcanons (SFW)

cw: some angst (sorry)

so, we all know that technically our boy is undead

like val said, he canonically has a resting heart rate of 6 bpm

his heart is still working and pumping blood, but it works at an incredibly slow pace

i think this means that he's really sluggish and constantly fatigued, plus he's probably freezing cold and his limbs likely fall asleep often due to the lack of blood circulation

i think he probably faints a lot with his bpm of 6, but he doesn't ever notice it because he's in and out in under a second. he wakes up with lots of new bruises from falling over all the time, but he doesn't ever remember how he had fallen to the ground

if he were to drink an energy drink, something with loadsssss of caffeine, he MIGHT start to feel normal again

it would have to be A LOT of caffeine to get his heart rate up to a normal bpm

typically, a fast heart rate is more often related to low blood sugar (APPARENTLY, idk i'm not a doctor i just googled it), but a slow heart rate can be a sign of low blood sugar as well

i think an energy drink would be the way to go, then

i honestly don't think he realized his heart rate was so slow until s5 when he gets checked into altura

you know that vending machine that kaya and cz hang out in for a little bit? let's pretend it also sells energy drinks

10k just decides to drink one on a random day while he's stranded there without a hand, and all of a sudden the world feels like it's going at a million mph, and that's when he realizes that he's been living the past few years in slow motion

he was completely out of it while he was a blend, so he didn't even notice the transition from normalcy to the slow-paced "life" he had been living. then, after s3 and at the start of s4, life had felt slow because he'd been living a relatively safe life away from operation bite mark. i don't think he even registered how calm everything seemed since he died and became undead

it's not until he drinks this energy drink that he realizes that things haven't been "calm," he's just been navigating the world through a thick fog

the fog clears, and suddenly he's feeling like himself for the first time in years

until he remembers that his hand is gone, and now he's lost his sense of identity in being a sniper

he craves the warmth of his skin and the life in his eyes that returns to him when he's caffeinated

i think he's more engaged in everything when he's on caffeine

he's more attentive, both in a battle and in his relationships with other people

he tells his friends he loves them, constantly, because now he can remember what love feels like in the beating of his heart (OUCH)

i'm not sure if his relationship with red would improve or deteriorate because it's not like she knew him when he was alive and normal; most of their relationship took place after the canon event that brought his heart rate down to 6 bpm

to her, he'd seem like a different person, but really, he's more like himself than he had been in years

he's just more ALIVE

he probably develops a caffeine addiction and becomes strung out and depressed when he drinks his last energy drink

he didn't put it together until then, but the life he'd been living since he first became undead was one of simply going through the motions. he was severely depressed and didn't even realize it until that depression went away for a bit before it came back full force

he'd never noticed just how tired he was all the time

let me know if this was what you were thinking :)

Y'all thank you to the person that said 10k is a raccoon person- now I've been doodling him with raccoon highlights and or like a bandit mask- you have officially made this HC something so far from cannon but it feels so right ahbdsnjcsjjsdb

[nothingbut10k]

Here is my reminder cuz I love cannon so much.

10k has a bpm of 6 send tweet

[nothingbut10k]

I raise you one better aswell- 10k but aromantic and or demiromantic- 10k does not fall at first sight. I feel 10k need to know someone before opening up then slowly falling as they learn more about the other person. (( i am aroace my self and yet have a wife soooo i got rights lmao))

Queer 10K head cannons please!!! Coming from a Gebder Fluid, Pan 10K lover!!!!

Queer 10K "Z Nation" Headcanons (SFW)

i'm queer, he's queer, let's get into it! this will likely have hints of x reader as i see him coming out because of having a queer partner

first off, it might be controversial, but i see him as a transgender lesbian*. there is never any hint in the show that he's attracted to men, and i respect any mlm 10k headcanons, but that's just not how i see him!

*the lesbian identity being non-men attracted to non-men*

now, he could either be transmasc or transfem (usualy it changes depending on my mood), but he always uses he/she pronouns

falls under the non-binary umbrella because she doesn't identify as a man or a woman--trans or otherwise

doesn't have any idea he's trans unless he has a trans partner; she just thought everybody felt like they were born in the wrong body

once he figures out that his experience with his gender is not necessarily a common one, he'll feel lost

if she has a trans partner, he'll finally understand that he's not alone in these feelings, and he'll come to accept himself

if he's transmasc, i see him as having grown up as a tomboy, and his father never really cared one way or the other how she presented herself because it's not like she was going to be bullied by other kids while in homeschool

if she's transfem, it would take a lot longer to come to terms with his femininity because he was taught a certain way to be a man and that's how he's lived his life up until that point

he always knew he liked girls

if he's transmasc, he would feel ashamed of his same-sex attractions growing up, but it's not like he ever had any opportunities to act on them, so she just repressed these feelings

if she's transfem, i think the attraction to the opposite sex would have been really played up to emphasize his masculinity as a way to combat his feelings of femininity

a trans/queer partner will open him up to the world of queerness, and he'll finally feel at peace with his identities

as a trans person myself (genderqueer), 10k being trans as well means a lot to me, so if you disagree, please be kind! these are just my personal headcanons <3

[nothingbut10k]

Can someone yell at me-

WHY DO I DRAW 10K LIKE A FRUIT- 💅🏳️‍🌈

[nothingbut10k]

Imagine 10k with a pet raccoon!!!

Instead of being a dog or cat person he'd be a raccoon person

I SEE THIS AND I AM LISTENING!!!!

This made me think of him with raccoon highlights <3

ft. 2 versions him with red and blonde highlights <3

ALSO YOU ARE JUST SO RIGHT THIS MAN WITH A RACCOON IS SO CUTE- (( not the best pet for the apocalypse sadly but he and red co parenting for a raccoon with 5k would be so cute!!!! ))

Z nation found family dynamics?

Z Nation Found Family Dynamics (SFW)

gonna do some for each season because that makes the most sense to me! hope that's alright <3 spoilers ahead!

season one

starting out with the obvious and literal: warren is the mama, and garnett is the papa <3 doc is like the crazy and cool great uncle, murphy is the weird uncle/cousin/guy that nobody knows how he's related to anybody, mack and addy give off cool older cousin vibes that'll ask you if you want to take a "walk" with them before dinner, cassandra is the cousin that keeps to herself but you just know is too cool for anyone, and 10k is the weird little cousin that is obviously homeschooled and is always asking if you want to play with him

does that make any sense? that's how i see them

ANYWAY

mack and addy are obviously inseparable, but addy eventually lets cassandra and 10k into the mix (though mack is still unsure about them both)

addy and 10k are peak brother/sister, and you can read more about that here

doc, warren, garnett, mack, and addy all knew each other from camp blue sky, and they were able to bond there

cassandra, murphy, and 10k all came later, and therefore it took them a lot longer to get settled into the group dynamic

doc instantly took a liking to 10k and took him under his wing, though 10k took a lot longer to warm up to doc and the rest of the group

cassandra and 10k have an unspoken bond because they joined the group around the same time. they don't share that same bond with murphy, though because nobody trusts him

because of this, 10k only really spends his time with cassandra, addy, and doc. cassandra, similarly, only spends time with 10k and addy. mack is basically only on good terms with those from camp blue sky, and murphy doesn't really get along with anyone but doc. garnett, addy, doc, and warren are all friendly with everyone for the most part

once garnett dies, warren kind of folds in on herself but is still forced to take on the leadership role. she's the mother hen of the group, but in a detached way :( she fears that caring about people and feeling like a family will only hurt her worse when they die

addy and cassandra's bond, similar to 10k and cassandra's bond, is less familial and more than platonic, and i am willing to expand more on that if anyone is ever interested lol

murphy and doc get along in the way an uncle and his nephew might. garnett doesn't have the same relationship with either of them (or really anyone in the group since he's seen as a father figure), and it hurts him

this is getting too long and i have four more seasons to go

season two

dynamics have shifted. javier has kind of taken garnett's role as the patriarch, and everybody hates it

after mack and cassandra died, addy and 10k were devastated. they grew closer to each other because of this, and they isolated themselves from the rest of the group (ESPECIALLY MURPHY)

warren is still very much in a slump, but she puts on a brave face because she has to for her family operation bite mark

murphy making cassandra a blend has forced her out of the family and made himself emotionally estranged from them

10k and addy (moreso 10k) HATE murphy, and doc has to act as a keeper of the peace most of the time

this season is just a dark spot for the group's familial relationship

season three

things are all mixed up in season three

the group is split up, and so is the family

hector has joined the group which now only consists of doc, addy, and warren (from operation bite mark) as well as sun mei

sun mei and hector don't ever really find purchase in the family dynamic (especially hector)

warren is the link to operation bite mark for the both of them, and they really cling to her and the connections they've made with her

murphy has forced his way into his new family of blends, that he made to replace the family he had found in season one

i can't think too much about season three 10k without feeling a deep pain for my boy, but just know that he is suffering without doc, addy, and warren

and they're suffering without him too

doc and addy bond more when they go to find lucy

warren has turned her sadness to anger, and it gets taken out on the family, unfortunately

an even darker spot for the group's familial relationship

season four

this season is a doozy

the family has been so split up for so long, that they're barely a family anymore

once doc and 10k reunite, it's like no time has passed for them though, so there's that spark of positivity!

red has been added to 10k's family, but she hasn't had the chance to bond with anyone else yet

though, red and sun mei do get along and are forced together due to the circumstances of their disappearance

sarge is added to the family! she's like your cousin's girlfriend that was invited to the family reunion, and she doesn't talk to anyone but your cousin the whole time

addy and lucy's little family means so much to me. addy's like the big sister that had to raise lucy like her own

murphy and lucy's relationship is complicated and beautiful and heartbreaking and i both love it and curse the writers for putting the characters and me through it

warren is still the mother hen, but she's lost a piece of herself that she can't seem to get back, and it shows through her leadership

doc is as he always has been: the rock

this is when murphy and warren's relationship seems to really hit (for me, at least)

season five

family is more or less back together

10k seems to be getting along better with murphy, though that's likely due to the fact they rarely interact

george is like the daughter warren never had, and addy is upset by this

addy being split from the group for so long was devastating to me personally, but she seemed to thrive on her own and might even be held back by the time she spends with what used to be her family

murphy and warren have some unspeakable bond at this point, and i kind of wish they'd get it over with already and work through it together

sun mei and red were forced together by circumstances, but it was okay because they made a family of their own in altura

sarge's death hits 10k more than it hits anyone else, and a part of him blames red for it

doc and 10k's relationship defies words. their bond means everything to me, and it feels finalized in a way that kind of makes me worry for doc's fate if the show is ever to get a revival

i'm sure i have lots more to say about the family dynamics of these goobers, but i think i'd need to rewatch in order to put those thoughts into words! hope this was okay, thank you for the ask! <3

[nothingbut10k]

Adorable, romantic 10k and reader head-cannons please!

Romantic 10K x GN!Reader Headcanons (SFW)

our boy is such a romantic, but he doesn't really show it

at first, he has a really hard time with PDA. it's mainly because he's just not used to it!! he's never had a partner before, and he never really had many friends seeing as he was homeschooled and living in a literal national park

however, he lovesssss holding your hand

his hands are a big deal for him because he feels like they're what gives him purpose (see s5), and he would never let just anyone touch them

with you, holding hands comes so naturally. he wants to touch you at all times, and this is the easiest and least overwhelming way to do so

absolutely melts any time you run your hands through his messy hair. like, he would die if you gave him a scalp massage

kisses you literally everywhere. both on your body and as a location. he can't get enough of you and wants you to know it!!

he constantly has your back while you're out fighting Z's

he'll even look to you for praise after he headshots a zombie, and he expects you to know exactly how many zombies he's killed and what number he's up to at this point (of course you know)

you're always catching him staring at you. he'll get really shy and look away pre-relationship, but once you're together, he'll just continue to stare at you with a lovesick smile on his face

i get the feeling he's really fidgety, so i think he'll play with your fingers or the hem of your clothes all the time

needs attention constantly

likes it when you sit on his lap because then he can hug your back to him and just relax completely against you. he doesn't often get the chance to feel safe, but he does with you :)

tends to be the little spoon (in my opinion) because he craves that feeling of safety that he gets in your arms. will be the big spoon if you ask, and he'll bury his face in your hair and inhale your scent and just stay like that for hours

LOVES SLEEPING WITH YOU. like, literally just the act of sleeping, next to you. he WILL expect cuddles and will NOT let you out of his grasp

would love to see you in his clothes! even if you're just wearing his goggles, he thinks you're the cutest thing ever

i think he'd like little subtle matching accessories with you. maybe you get your own bandana to wear around your head to match with him, or your own pair of goggles. in puppy love (not yet, but eventually), you two wear matching necklaces. he thinks it's a nice way to show people that you're his and he's yours

i don't know if he'd ever refer to himself as your boyfriend. i think he'd find the term kind of childish and instead prefers to be referred to as your partner because the two of you are equals

he spends a lot of time just admiring your features. he'll point out freckles or colors in your eyes that you'd never even noticed before

wants to listen to you talk forever. he doesn't care what you talk about, and half the time he isn't even listening to the words you say. he just loves the sound of your voice and seeing how animated you get when you talk about something that excites you

he wants to spend the rest of his life with you, and he will make sure you know it even if he doesn't explicitly say it

he means everything to me <3
