Others building those test tracks for cats with various sized holes and gaps between walls and whatnots to see what's the tightest gap Zer0 can fit through

A fun experiment I’m doing with PS, SFM, and my own in-game screencaps. So far the results aren’t too bad honestly. I plan on doing more with Gaige and Sal, but I have to retexture their awful models first  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Basically like, my “what if” the characters you didn’t play as just hung around Sanctuary doing casual things)

[cripple-cat]

Axton Headcanons Because I Feel Like It

he tried to be a good husband for sarah he really did, but they probably werent really compatible no matter how hard he tried

hes a rule breaker with creative solutions and a crippling inability to do nothing even when its necessary

now given that he cant just sit by and do nothing pandora is PERFECT for him

always something to do, always people to save, always corporations to fight

and with the space he gets with the crimson raiders that he could never get in the dahl military he can finally process all the shit hes been through and done

he has the space to grow and he knows he should, so he CHOOSES to, he CHOOSES to better himself

and not in the way of following more rules, but maybe he learns to paint, maybe he learns different forms of mathematics, maybe he asks maya or zer0 or gaige what their lives were like on other worlds so he can have more compassion for people he meets

he is almost definitely in love with his turret thats not a question

he talks to her when hes cleaning her or fixing her

he talks about what they did together that day and what theyll do the next

its very domestic and kind of sweet but its also deeply uncomfortable to the other vault hunters because they cant tell how deep that runs

zer0 and lilith have money on him fucking his turret

everyone else put in money against that because its a disturbing thought to most, even on pandora

zer0 walked in on him crying over her once, it wasnt even really about anything, he was just struck with grief

they sat next to him with his head in his hands and gave him an awkwardly positioned side hug

they got much closer to each other after that

eventually he opened up to them enough that when they inevitably asked questions about his scars he answered honestly

he talked about his history of finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, of his habit of getting himself caught in tight spaces, the way he takes bullets for other people when he can, his occasional relapses of self harm

sometimes he visits tina when he doesnt trust himself because he knows he would never do anything that could hurt her and she cares about him enough that his death would cut her deep

he visits more after roland dies than he did before, because he doesnt want her to be alone and feel alone

sometimes hell bring zer0 and gaige and a board game and theyll play for hours

he catches himself staring at zer0 a lot, he finds he hardly ever flirts with them anymore, he thinks about all the gifts hes given them at random, and realizes he might be in love again

he never says anything, he doesnt want to ruin it, and hes not sure hes ready

zer0 notices and doesnt say anything about it, but they grab his hand one day, out of the blue, flash a heart across their visor, and hand him the smoothest rock theyve ever seen on pandora

he doesnt know what it really means but he knows enough about zer0 to know it means SOMETHING

they unofficially court for a good long time before anyone else really even notices somethings changed

the first one to notice is gaige since she and axton are ✨besties✨ and she fakes offense at not being told and then just teases him endlessly about how disgustingly cute it is

he tells her to shut up but he smiles the whole time

sometimes hell come up behind her and put his chin on the top of her head, particularly in a situation where it would embarrass her

he sort of sees her as a very close friend and sort of sees her as a little sister and hes very soft about it

when he realized krieg was always nervous around her he started watching real close

he had never seen such dad like behavior from any pandoran before but he immediately recognized it for what it was

he saw it with tina too, and anyone young they came across

he came to the conclusion on his own that whoever krieg was before was a very good and kind and loving dad, and one day he took that conclusion and went to give his psycho friend a hug

it wasnt well received because he forgot to make himself known and forgot to ask if he could and he earned himself a broken arm but he wasnt mad about it

he definitely learned his lesson though and only ever approached from the side krieg could see on

he never really had to forge a connection with salvador like he did with the others, salvador just liked him immediately

their jokes bounced off each other and their serious moments worked in harmony

they werent really best friends but they were close, and then they started working closer together and talking to each other more and sharing experiences and practically became brothers

he writes intentionally shitty poetry on his downtime

sometimes zer0 joins him on the rooftops of sanctuary and they make bad poems together

he likes to study zer0s hands, hes always been a "hands-on" guy, haha

he likes the way their fingers flex and how thick they are and how long their hands are and the way their wrist bends

it was at first very alarming to them that he wanted to look so closely but he never pressured them into removing their suit just so he could see their hands

he always asked if he could play around with their hands before doing it, too

they like watching the sunset together, and sometimes the sunrise, and its the quiet moments like those that help him remember what hes got and how much he loves what he has

hes finally got friends and family that love him and like him and work with him willingly and spend their time off with him by choice

he learns, here on pandora, in the dingy flying city of sanctuary, what it really means to be loved

hes never been happier

[boo-moved]

this shit was the best thing I ever wrote methinks

Rating: Teen and Up

Pairings: Axton/Zer0

Summary: “Well then, we’ll find it,” He said, somewhat surprising himself as he did, “We’ll hunt it down. Once this is all over, once we kill Jack and everything, we can take a break from the whole vault hunting thing, try to track down your home planet, find your parents, that stuff. I’ll help you. We can do it together.”

“You don’t mean that,” Zer0 said with a little smile. Their eyes were fixed on a distant star. Axton, ever the dreamer, liked to believe that system, whichever it was, was the one their family resided on.

“I do,” He insisted. He’d given up on saving face, at this fucking point. He had no filter. He’d just hope they’d both forget in the morning, Zer0 certainly wasn’t themselves tonight. “I promise.”

whoops.

Vault husbands <3

Zer0: Quick, disguises.

[they activate Decepti0n, while Axton puts on an apron and wig]

Axton: What?

Zer0: ... You look fantastic.

More Axton (And Zer0) Headcanons (More Drabbles At This Point) Because I Fucking Want To

to quote my own father about himself axton is "a masochist at everyones expense" it just doesnt actually benefit anyone like kriegs masochism does

he makes himself a human shield and then gets confused and laughs when his teammates get mad at him for nearly dying and actually dying all the fucking time

he doesnt even NEED to do that his turret has a SHIELD we can just HIDE WITH YOUR TURRET AXTON STOP

he just hates seeing his friends get hurt and doesnt see the problem with dying if hes just going to respawn anyway, even if it costs money

its the closest he can get to actually dying without any of them questioning it but sometimes he wants them to

in their early days together he got into a mild but very frustrating argument with maya that split their team into two sides

no one can remember what it was about except zer0 and they wont tell anyone because it was stupid

but they got really irritated with axton and decided if they were ever going to make it to jack to kill him they would need to rid themself of irritants, including axton

and they sprung up, grabbed him by the front of his uniform, and pressed the sharp edge of the digistruct sword to his throat

he has since jacked off to that particular instance far too many times

he often fantasizes other ways they could kill him or control him and jacks off to those too

he has yet to share this with anyone

he loves zer0 though and loves that they hold his hand now instead of feeling the need to threaten him or straight up kill him

consent and all that, very important

after zer0 gave him the very smooth rock he started giving them all the best guns he could get his hands on

sometimes hell find a shiny piece of shrapnel and give that to them

sometimes hell find something squishy and sneak it into their hand when they go to hold hands with him

its the best way to make them uncomfortable while also showing them he loves them without having to say it

they always give him their heart emoticon after anyway

"hey can you hold this for me"

'...'

*stifled laughter* "perfect, ze"

'<3'

its super cute and super stupid and he likes to make them happy with the way he irritates them

its a love language and i will die on this hill thank you very much

he once managed to catch a glimpse of them drinking a glass of water

it was through some form of straw extended from their mask and he couldnt figure out where it came from

he saw them drinking just long enough to watch them retract the straw into their mask without using their hands

he has not been the same since

everyone has questions about zer0s anatomy, hes no exception, but he honestly just wants to know what the fuck is uo with that straw

is it a part of the suit? is it a part of their face?? what the fuck is it??? why do they have it there?

he always forgets to ask though and its super annoying

hes really really good at poker, but only when hes drunk

he cant play poker for shit when hes sober

he found out the hard way though that he has absolutely no chance ever of beating krieg at any card game

or really any game

for someone whos literally psychologically scarred and cracked and fucked up pretty much beyond repair hes really good with numbers and reading people

it would be funnier if axton werent terrified of it

its like krieg just knows things

maya doesnt seem put off by it but axton sure is, its spooky

he earned the privilege of high-fiving maya after a good fight, and now he does it after almost every fight

he likes high-fives and she gives the best ones

crisp and tingly but not weak and small-handed or heavy and crushing

he likes watching her move sometimes, he can definitely tell shes not a soldier

her motion is crude but graceful, like a dancer trying to box, but a lot more melt-your-face-off

hes never been to athenas but he wonders if everyone there fights like that, or if she learned to fight like that because no one there knows how to fight at all

he never asks, she doesnt care for talking about where she came from

he doesnt talk about sarah much either, so he understands

he still mentions her in passing from time to time, when shes relevant or hes feeling regretful of what he did to her

he knows he wasnt a good husband or soldier, and somewhere deep down he knows they werent really good for each other, but he still tried to be

and he knows that even as she was breaking it off, even as she was telling him he wasnt a soldier anymore, she still loved him

she gave him the idea to leave, she gave him the chance to, she gave him the dignity of choice

he still loves her, but its different now

its not like the romance he felt when they were dating, or when they were first married, or in the early months of their marriage

he loves her like shes an old friend hed get drinks with and catch up with over lunch, but never intentionally contact, despite being willing to do anything for her if she asked now

he wants to apologize, but he cant contact her anymore, and sometimes that hurts more than the idea that she might have let him be executed had he stayed

It sucks, but life doesnt wait for you to get your shit together, so he accepts it and moves on to the best of his ability

that part of his life is over now, hes got newer, better things to do and be and look forward to

like his new team, his new leaders, his new zer0

he really does love them, he just cant figure out how that works

he married someone else and loved her, they divorced, he doesnt love her the same way he did, now he loves someone else differently, too

its different, but its better, its so much better

their arguments are petty and friendly or about things that dont really matter in the end

and theyre accepting of the lifestyles they have, despite the differences, instead of arguing over never seeing each other or seeing too much of each other

everything about each other is taken as is and its so much better this way

he never had that safety with sarah

but he has it now
