Sunny Day Jack - Drunk Headcanons
First ramble of the new year. Whoo! I was considering what would be fitting, then I wound up thinking about all the drinking that happens at New Yearsā parties and figured, why not go with some drunken headcanons?
Content warning: this post contains talk of drinking, negative experiences with drinking, being drunk, and maybe some smut as well.
Talking about drunk headcanons also gives me the excuse to break out the drunk Jack art drawn by the ever awesome Sauce, since itās very relevant. Credit as always goes to them for their amazing work and for being cool with me using their art in my rambles about the awesome characters theyāve created.
Isnāt Jack such a cute drunk? Funny how heās only drunk when MC is thoughā¦ possibly. After all, pictures like these donāt technically count as canon unless theyāre in the game or on one of the official Sunny Day Jack pages, which you can find conveniently listed here.
Speaking of, why not consider supporting the SnaccPop Studios Patreon? If you sign up, youāll get to see all sorts of exclusive pieces of art and sneak peeks at the lore, as well as amazing audio dramas. Itās well worth joining, in my humble opinion. Just remember to please not share anything privately posted on the patreon. Reposting paid content only hurts the team.
Anyway, back to the topic of drunk Jack, and specifically the teaser art by Sauce that may or may not be canon still.
Iāve talked about this picture before, particularly what it suggests for Jackās powers, how it probably means he can be influenced by MCās hormones, and how much he might be affected by MCās state of being and vice-versa. To summarize, I believe that Jack and MC can sense how the other is feeling, both physically and emotionally, but itās not quite as strong as the other is experiencing it, and it can be blocked out or minimized. Iāve alluded to it in Sunshine in Hell, as well as some of my short stories, especially the one where Alice is in a lot of pain.
So, as this picture suggests, if MC gets drunk, Jack does too. It makes me wonder though if he broke character and drank alcohol, he could be the one to get both of them drunk instead? The possibilities of these implications, canon to the game or not, are quite intriguing.
Of course, we canāt talk about drunk headcanons without considering what kind of drunk Jack and the rest of the crew might be. As they say, drunk words are sober thoughts, and alcohol does lower inhibitionsā¦
Naturally, itās kind of dangerous for a yandere character to be drunk. Self-control would be lessened, if not thrown out the window entirely if heās totally hammered. I think Jack would be a clingy sort of drunk, hanging off his sunshine, shamelessly needing their warmth and reassurance that they love him and need him just as badly. Heās also a possessive and protective drunk, not wanting anyone else near MC. Heād probably insist on carrying them around everywhere even while heās stumbling, though itād take one near fall for him to decide that sitting with them in his lap is the better option. He needs to keep them safe, keep them close.
If you think Jack can be clingy normally, he is like glue when drunk, or at least I think so. Even if he was dutifully staying home like MC wanted them, once the drinks hit him through their connection, heās got to be with them, no matter where they are. Suddenly thereās a clown in the club or party checking to see if theyāre okay and wanting to take them home, hanging off them like a big warm blanket while trying to convince them to go and keep them safe from anyone that might take advantage of them.
Once agreeing to leave, Jack would probably forget about any implications or issues that might arise from carrying MC in a crowd of people. Hopefully no one is sober enough to film anything that might complicate things when heās whisking MC away off into the night. Heās certainly not in any state to really consider consequences.
Well, maybe if theyāre lucky any such videos would be assumed to be hoaxes. Thereās certainly no shortage of fake āghostā videos online. Maybe Shaun could use it to promote an upcoming movieā¦
Of course, if the relationship between MC and Jack is rocky, his desperation is cranked up while drunk. He needs them so, so badly.
Worse, if MC is getting physical with someone else, showing them love instead of himā¦ Jack might not be able to hold back his yandere impulses to make sure that no one steals his sunshine away. Heād certainly have a lot of work to do once sober to convince his sunshine that he was just protecting them from being taken advantage of while drunk, especially if things escalated to outright violence. The level of intoxication, and the intensity of the moment would likely decide how far things might spiral.
Of course, you know me and how much of a sucker I am for my OTP being happy, so letās swing back around to the fluffier extreme. If MC and Jack are in a relationship, thatās when Jack is drunkenly telling them how much he loves them, and that they should just go home together. Thereās not even a token resistance to hold back his true feelings for them. Heās already got them whisked up in his arms, kissing and murmuring sweet words of love. MC is going to have a pretty hard time talking Jack into letting them stay, especially when theyād be more drunk than he is.
Naturally, the type of drunk MC becomes would affect things. Since there are way too many variables there, letās use that as a segue to how my MC Alice is like when drunk. Sheās not the biggest fan of alcohol, disliking beer, and only drinking sweet flavored mixed drinks socially before the breakup with Ian. Even then, it was rare that she got drunk at all.
After the breakup, the idea of drinking scares Alice, especially to the point of being drunk. She almost died after all. As such, the only way sheās getting sloshed in the present day is if sheās unaware that what sheās consuming has alcohol in it until itās too late.
Itās kind of a shame, as Alice is a giggly, affectionate drunk. She stops caring about people around them and just wants to cling to her partner, giggling between kisses, occasionally gnawing on them or licking them playfully and saying silly things. Ian got quite embarrassed by how overly affectionate she was the few times she got tipsy when they were out with friends, though he certainly enjoyed the attention.
Needless to say, when Alice got drunk after finding out Ian cheated, she was anything but giggly or affectionate. Though the less said about that the better for now. Letās keep this to fun headcanons, shall we?
Alice is also affectionate to her friends when drunk, telling them that she loves them, giving big hugs and saying what she loves about them. It was very hard on Shaunās heart the one time he was around when Alice was drunk. She glomped onto him and told him she loved him soooooooooooo much while giggling happily~!
Of course, it was cut into by Ian crying because he was also drunk and thus more sensitive to things, so Alice went over to reassure him that she loved him mostest of all. It was a hard night for Shaun to be the sober driver.
Jack would sadly not get to experience this side of Alice. At least, not under normal circumstances. Knowing she doesnāt drink and isnāt comfortable even drinking a little bit, the moment he felt her get drunk, his protective instincts would kick into overdrive. What if someone spiked her drink? What if they had awful intentions? Even if he found out it was an innocent mistake, probably even a mixup, he would still be very concerned about her.
Wellā¦ until Alice latches onto Jack, squeezing him tight in a big hug as she tells him that she loves him. Oh how his heart would feel ready to burst, especially if theyāre not together yet at the time. He longed to hear those words from her for so longā¦ itās just a shame that sheās saying them while drunk. Still, you better believe that his tipsy butt is going to tell her he loves her too. That would send Alice into a fit of happy giggles as she snuggles into his chest, since, letās face it, her guilty impulses are on full display and his chest has always felt so nice and soft to cuddle.
Jack would be struggling to hold himself back and retain some sense of sobriety, to not ruin things, but itās so hard when Alice is being so affectionate with him. Yet, he worries that her love for him isnāt the same as the love he feels for her. This is especially true if she was hugging and loving on other friends when he showed up.
Of course, even while drunk, Alice wouldnāt be open to physical contact with just anybody, only those she trusts. Being touched by someone she doesnāt know/trust would result in her fleeing to her nearest trusted friend/loved one to hide behind them, maybe even insisting they protect herrrr, and telling the person who tried to touch her to go away! Shoo! Shoo!
Naturally, if Alice was drunk while she and Jack were a couple, it would be a very strange sight for anyone else there to see her cuddling up to thin air, kissing, licking, gnawing, etc. Itād be even more outrageous to see her scooped up into the air! Hopefully Shaun isnāt there to see it and have his heart broken further. Though if he was around while Alice was drunk, and he was still sober, he would be getting her to drink water and getting her out of there since he knows she doesnāt want to drink alcohol anymore. So heād be stepping in to help her out until Jack swooped in to steal Alice away from himā¦ again.
Speaking of Shaun, he strikes me as a giggly drunk as well. Though he turns it more into a performance. Heās talking about stories he knows to anyone who will listen. Or anyone who is not listening, since heād be drunk off his butt. Iām talking grand gestures, booming voice, passion thrown into it as he cries over touching moments in a movie he saw, or what he was directing. Oh, his actors killed it in the beach scene! Heāll tell you all about it, then get interrupted by a different thought halfway through the story, probably something he thinks will be a good idea for another film that he has to scribble onto a napkin. Of course, it becomes a weird scrawl thatās barely legible and makes no sense, but it was certainly exciting to him in the moment!
Of course, Shaun enjoys a good buzz. It makes him want to purr, so itās a good tell for when heās getting tipsy. Heās very responsible when heās the designated sober person, but when heās ready to cut loose, heās a tomcat ready to play!
While Shaun is a more bubbly and fun drunk, I think that Ian is the opposite. When he has a nice buzz, he feels pretty good, but when it goes too far and he starts getting drunkā¦ thatās when everything goes downhill. This cropped picture drawn by Sauce makes me think that when Ian gets drunk, thatās when his guilt and self-loathing hits him hard.
Poor guy needs therapy. Also, if you want to see the full picture, which is very NSFW, check it out over on Sauceās twitter. While youāre there, send them some love for all their amazing art and characters!
I think Ian needs constant reassurance while drunk, especially from his partner. He clings to MC and feels lonely even if theyāre a foot away from him. He cries at the drop of a hat, even for silly things like how tragic that is that snakes donāt have legs. Why don't they have legs? It's unfair! Heās going to be needing help not to get dehydrated from all the crying and the alcohol, and his hangover the next day is a bitch.
Needless to say, when Ian and Alice were drunk together, it was a very mushy scene. Ian would be down on himself, then Alice would smoosh his cheeks and tell him to listen to her because he is a prince. Prince Charming! No one else is better. Thatād get the waterworks going, and heād cling to her, crying. She would then start kissing his tears away.
I figure this too also happened when Shaun was around because Iām very mean with the guy and his unrequited crush. Sorry, Shaun, but itās just too much fun teasing you, haha. Donāt worry though, heās going to find his own happy ending in Sunshine in Hell with a partner or two who love him more than anything else in the world. Eventually.
On that note, letās move on to the final love interest, Nick. Nick strikes me as someone who is very smooth when tipsy, but an absolute mess when sloshed. The filter is gone. Heās got opinions, and by God is he going to give them, even if they donāt really make sense. He especially has strong opinions about bad BDSM. That popular book series they made a movie about called, what was it again, 500 shades of fucked up or something? That is not BDSM. Thatās abuse pretending to be BDSM. Do you have any idea what that mess has done to the BDSM community and how many people have done stupid things because of it? And donāt get him started on what an awful idea it is to tie someone up with rope from a hardware store of all places!
I see Nick as the type to start recording himself once his inhibitions are dropped. The people need to know! His thoughts have to get out there! His followers need to know the truth! This is why he makes sure that he has to put in several passwords before he can actually upload anything. He learned his lesson that he canāt trust drunk Nick with his socials the hard way. The fans are still making memes and using clips out of context from that embarrassing old video. At least he bounced back from it by joking about it even if inside heās still dying of mortification.
Speaking of a drunk with complaints, I had the image of Barry really unloading all his grievances when heās drunk. Fortunately, he knows better than to get sloshed with any of his employees, but if he did, theyād have a hard time escaping from him insisting that he knows whatās wrong with the service industry and customers and how the hell did his latest marketing gimmick fail?! Canāt they see how cute the new mascot is? He paid way too much to the graphic designer! Do you know what artists charge nowadays? Itās highway robbery!
Since weāre going into employees of Yogurtopia, why donāt I touch real quick on the other people on staff who I expanded upon a little in my earliest headcanon posts? Things have changed since then of course, such as the boss having an actual name now. Needless to say, Iām not going with what I came up with for that post, but letās do a little rapid fire mode with the rest of the employees I want to use for Sunshine in Hell.
Carol is a flirty drunk, which is a big problem if sheās actually in a committed relationship at the time and the person sheās flirting with isnāt her partner. Though Iām sure sheād give her partner permission ahead of time to have sloppy drunken makeouts and sex with her.
Liz isnāt really a drinker so much as a stoner. Though if drunk they would be doodling on napkins and finding the ceiling tiles fascinating.
Susan is underage and isnāt much for breaking the rules, so itāll be a few years yet before sheād have to worry about how sheād be as a drunk.
I know I havenāt touched on these characters a lot, but I figured why not expand on them when I can, even in small ways. If nothing else, it should make it easier for me to come up with more ideas of what parts they could play in the bigger picture of Sunshine in Hell.
Speaking of my OCs, why donāt I touch on the rest of the King family while Iām at it?
Mama Lycoris enjoys herself a nice glass of wine with good company, most notably her husband, whose name is still undecided. (Iāve narrowed it down to Eden, Seb, Zion, Yuri, or Heliotrope. Picking character names is hard sometimes.) Itās rare for her to get drunk, but when she does, she seeks out her husband, even if she just lost track of him for being out of sight. Sheās the type to do the meme where sheās crying while texting them that she misses them while he was just in the bathroom. Once she finds them, sheās crawling in his lap telling them how much she loves him~
Papa King usually is the sober one at a party, embarrassed by his wife loving on them when sheās tipsy. Sometimes Lycoris pretends to be tipsy just to get him flustered. They do occasionally have a glass for a special occasion, like toasting at his anniversary or a special holiday. When drunk, theyāre a sleepy sort of drunk, pretty out of it and just off in his own little happy world. They havenāt yet been drunk before though, or even gotten tipsy, as he drinks very responsibly.
Barbie isnāt one for drinking, even socially. Though thatās probably not surprising considering sheās not a very social person. If she did get drunk though, sheād be a mean drunk, eyeballing anyone who looks at her funny and ready to jump into any excuse to fight. Itās probably a good thing she doesnāt drink!
Though, I suppose if Barbie was drunk around Bo, sheāll probably let her dom side out more, ordering him around and getting a bit rough with him. Good thing Bo is a big strong alpha and canāt get drunk due to being an AI, so heāll be able to take care of his puppy even when sheās gone a bit feral due to alcohol.
Coraline also doesnāt drink, but thatās because she canāt due to medical reasons. It interferes with her prescription medications, so itās probably best if she sticks with non-alcoholic beverages. If she did get drunk, however, she would probably be similar to her father, being off in her own little world, looking at things as if they were fascinating. She would probably be very keenly interested in holding Eliasā head and examining his neck stump up close, which Iām sure her poor groom wouldnāt quite be comfortable with. He would have to make sure to redirect her focus elsewhere until she sobered up.
Of course, I canāt just end things there. I havenāt gushed nearly enough about Jack and Alice having some drunk shenanigans in a more specific sort of scenario. It might turn into some writing, or it might not, but itās my post, and I can ramble on longer about my OTP if I want to.
As I said earlier, Jack would be very concerned upon noticing that heās starting to get tipsy. At first he would probably be confused as to how lightheaded he is, until he realizes that itās because of his sunshineās influence. The immediate order of business after that is to find Alice and check to see if sheās okay. With lower inhibitions, it would be hard for him not to worry that someone spiked her drink or something.
While someone spiking Aliceās drink would make for some interesting drama, and a target for Jack to go yandere on for taking advantage of his sunshineā¦ I think Iāll stick with something more innocent for this post and say that there was a mixup with her drink or Alice was unaware something someone brought at the partyās potluck had a high alcohol content until it was too late.
Though if yāall want me to chase that darker and more dramatic plot bunny of Alice getting her drink spiked by some unscrupulous character, and Jack has to save her, do let me know~ ;3
Back to the lighter scenario. While it is intriguing to imagine how torn Jack would be if Alice is loving on him while theyāre not together, and she means tells him she loves him in a clearly way, which wrenches his heartā¦ At the moment, Iām more drawn to how much of a cock block itād be for him if Alice was getting frisky with her affection and turning Jack on, forcing him to hold back his urges and stay responsible even though what he wants to do is take her and fill her with her love until her legs are too wobbly to allow her to stand anymore. He might be tipsy too, but sheās outright drunk, and heās not going to take advantage of his sunshine in an inebriated state!
Of course, Jackās first order of business is to get Alice home. It doesnāt matter if theyāre in the middle of a party full of people, heās carrying his sunshine home. Alice doesnāt protest being scooped up by her boyfriend, just giggling in delight before peppering his cheek and neck with kisses now that sheās in range. She also makes sure to tell Jack how she just loves him so, so, so, so, soooooo much~!
Jack does try to be discreet in getting Alice away from the party. He might be pretty tipsy, and his steps a little unsteady, but he needs to protect his sunshine. He needs to take care of her, be responsible. Itās what heās there for after all.
Itās just a little hard for Jack to focus on walking straight when Alice keeps nipping at his skin. Her giggling tickles his ear too, and itās hard for him not to melt when she tells him she loves him and that he tastes so sweet.
Having a hardon would also make it difficult for Jack to focus on walking straight. Poor guy. Alice doesnāt think about what sheās doing as she keeps kissing, licking, and nibbling on him, her hands wandering and squeezing his chest despite him trying to gently redirect her attention. He needs her to stop, since he canāt focus, but at the same time he really wants her to continue.
The first order of business once they get back home is to make sure Alice sobers up with some water and food. By the time theyāre home, Jack feels like heās going to go crazy. Like her drunkenness affected him, his horniness affects her, and those playful affections become more lusty as her inhibitions are lowered and the idea of teasing Jack and making him feel good becomes more and more appealing. Eventually it gets to the point that sheās being much more blatant in her teasing, such as tracing his nipples through his shirt with her fingers. Maybe even copping a feel lower down when theyāre at the apartment and teasing him about the bulge in his pants.
Needless to say, Jack would be having a very hard time holding himself back. Itād almost be a relief when Alice abruptly nods off due to the alcohol. Of course, heād have to give himself some real relief, imagining what it wouldāve been like if she had sobered up so they could continue. All the while, heās also swearing to himself that in the morning - provided Alice wasnāt in pain from a hangover - he was going to pay her back for all the love and affection she showed him tonight in spades.
The next morning, Alice is indeed hungover, though not quite as bad as she wouldāve been if Jack didnāt have her eat and drink something last night. Of course, Jack is kind and cheerful, endlessly gentle and supportive of her, giving her some painkillers and making her a nice, mild breakfast. She remembers what she did last night and is too embarrassed to talk about it, just thanking Jack for helping her get home.
Though past the embarrassment, fear would slowly build as Alice woke up more and it sunk in how easy it was for her to accidentally get drunk at the party. It was so easy for her to lose controlā¦ for something to happenā¦ Jack picks up on her worries right away and reassures her that heāll always be there to take care of her and keep her safe. Heāll always protect her and make sure nothing bad happens to her. He made sure she got home safely last night, after all.
Jack wonāt ever let Alice suffer through anything as awful as the night Ian broke her heart ever again.
Some reassurance and cuddles goes a long way, and Alice is able to let go of her fear and embarrassment to just appreciate how much Jack cares for her and takes care of her, even when the unexpected happens. She melts into his soft and reassuring kisses that soon turn hot and steamy. Suddenly the breakfast dishes are off the table, and sheās the one getting eaten by her very pent up boyfriend.
You better believe that Jack planned to feed Alice then do the deed with her as soon as possible. The moment she shows that sheās receptive to his affection, he starts enacting all the naughty fantasies that he had while giving himself relief the night before, making sure that Alice is the one being driven crazy this time. He wonāt rest until sheās begging for him to make love to her. Repeatedly.
Needless to say, if Alice has work that day, sheās missing it. Jack wouldāve turned her phone off after sending a text that sheās sick, just in case. Thereās no way Jack is letting Barry cockblock him again. Not after he spent a night getting blueballed by a too sexy sunshine that was too drunk to make love to.
Fortunately, in the light of day and fully sober enough to consent, Jack gets to enjoy every inch of Alice, as well as a nice memory of just how fun and affectionate she gets when her inhibitions are lowered. He also has a goal to strive for, to encourage his sunshine to feel freer with him like that when theyāre both fully sober so that they can enjoy every second of their lovemaking.
Well, I think thatās a good place to wrap up these drunken headcanons for now. I hope you enjoyed the silliness. It seemed like a good way to start off the year, and it certainly would be a fun start of the new year for these two!
