heya! i thought about this literally right before falling asleep and then stayed up for like half an hour or so more bc i had to write all of these headcanons down lmao
so i hope you enjoy!
chronic pain!Darlin’ :
- who ignores their pain and takes on fights anyway
- who thinks they can just “tough it out” (bc of their parents)
- who thought it was normal to be in pain all the time until they met Sam who while healing once told them they shouldn’t have to deal with pain (meaning the sustained injuries) and they respond saying that they’re in pain all the time anyway so what does it really matter
- who is confused at the shock and horror on Sam’s face after they’ve said that
- who tries to hide how much pain they’re in
- who is unsuccessful hiding it from Sam
- who refuses to take pain meds to “see how long they can last” or bc “it’s not actually that bad” or bc “they haven’t done anything to earn it”
- who is made to stay in bed and rest by their mate
- who Sam draws baths for and carries them into the bathroom, gently placing them in the warm water which soothes their aches
- who Sam bought a bunch of stuff for after doing research when they had told him
- who gets clingier whenever they’re having flare ups
- who struggles accepting help for their pain
- who feels like they’re faking if they actually do something that’s supposed to help (like using mobility aids) and it actually does help
- who always has Sam to reassure them about any insecurities they might have
- who was nervous to tell him about it
- who is trying so many different hobbies that they can do while resting and does a lot of like crochet/embroidery/etc
- who has completely played through countless switch games and the like
- who regularly ignores their pain bc “it could be worse!”
- who regularly stays up later than they should doing research on things that could help & then ends up getting non of those things
- who struggles sleeping sometimes bc their pain is so bad
- who gets encouraged by Sam and assorted pack members that are aware to get the tools they need and that’ll help
-who eventually gets braces, splinters, compression gloves/sleeves/shirts, heating pads, more pillows and/or whatever else might be right to help them and actually uses it
- who finally has the help and support system they deserve

*Milo being cute and domestic with his mate*
Darlin: ew
Milo: oh don’t act like you and Sam aren’t all cute and shit all the time
Darlin: THATS THE THING! I was a feral cat who was domesticated against their will! And it’s not like I could fight it or say no when the man I’m up against is the human personification of pumpkin pie!!
Sam: 😶
Darlin: and I wouldn’t have it any other way obviously🙄
Sam: 🥰

A small compilation of reactions because the Smash Tournament was a Great idea
—
Milo: Where’s the snacks?
Asher, from the other room: They’re on the top shelf. You might have to ask your mate for uppies so you can reach!
Me:

You know, Darlin’, for a Marth main you’re really underutilizing his speed and combos. My best friend is a Marth main and she’s handed me my ass for like 15 years with him no matter which game it was
Of course now that my Ultimate main is Cloud I tend to actually fare better than I did as Pit back in Brawl even if Pit was hella busted back then
—
Sam @ Milo: You celebratin’ over there or are you just inspecting their tonsils?
Me:
—
David @ Ash in the post credits scene: You pervert
Ash: *gives big wet kiss* Mwah!
David: Get off of me
Me:
