ABC Head Canon - Eustass Kid

SFW Alphabet!

18+ only

-:- Table of Consent -:-

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Kid is surprisingly affectionate. He's all about holding hands and snuggling, but unless he's being a cheeky bastard he's not going to do it in public much. He has a reputation to maintain (one that no one who knows him actually takes seriously, but still).

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Kid as a best friend is 100% ride or die. He's going to be gruff, but he'll have your back in everything. He might be a dick about what he says or does, but at the end of the day you'll know that it was the best advice/action for you that he could provide.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

I view Kid as a mult-tasker cuddler. He'll play video games while you're snuggled with him, or even read – if you're willing to hug onto like a reverse backpack he's even been known to work on tinker stuff, tilting his head down from time to time to kiss the top of your head while he fiddles with a project.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Kid is awful at cooking. He's surprisingly good at cleaning, even if he's not a fan of it, it's gotta get done. He'll pay for someone to keep common-areas clean, but his work spaces have lots of rules for cleaning and organizing (for safety and sanity reasons). He'll say he doesn't want kids or a family, but if the situation fell into his lap he'd be terrified and excited at the same time. He'd end up doing hours of research so he didn't mess anything up.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Eustass Kid breaking things off with someone would be cold and cruel. He'd want you to hate him by the time you walked away from it so that you wouldn't dwell on things and could move on faster. He'd be a real bastard, but then he'd be on a rage-bender for days or weeks because it would mess him up – even if he absolutely knew it was for the best. He's a soft-heart even if he'd die before he'd admit it.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Kid doesn't think anyone is going to want to keep him around for forever. He would blow off concepts of commitment and marriage and be really flippant about them, but it's really just him trying to keep himself from getting his hopes up. He would be a nervous mess if he risked popping the question, but I think he would be completely okay with being asked.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Almost no one is going to equate GENTLE with Eustass Kid. He has the emotional subtly of a hammer, but he's painfully aware that he's a big, bulky, scary looking guy with scars and a gruff voice. Usually he utilizes this to keep people at a distance, but once he realizes you aren't afraid of him you'll see all the parts of him that are physically gentle. He struggles with emotions a lot, but he does try.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Kid loves hugs, but he's not one to initiate them. There's an emotional component to them, and he's not comfortable with that, so he'll hug when asked, but unless he's fired up and caught up in a celebration, he's not going to scoop someone up into a hug.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Kid will swear you will never hear him say such a useless sappy word, and if you stick with him for forever you might only hear it a handful of times over the years, but his actions will speak for him long before he finally gives in and says it for the first time.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)

Kid gets jealous easy, and it's a weird kind of jealous. It's not that he doesn't trust you, it's that he doesn't trust the world. If he cares enough about you To Get Jealous in the first place, then it's because you're a special person and he knows if he can see it, other people can see it. Since he doesn't think he's the kind of guy anyone wants to stay with, he gets tangled up in jealousy easily.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Kid's more action than talk, and while hugs leave him feeling emotionally vulnerable, kisses are a way for him to show his skills, and he is not shy about showing off. He could write a book on different ways to kiss someone and be set for life.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Kid is a kid. He's a big kid. He's going to be young at heart for the rest of his life, and he's really great with kids. He's not entirely sure exactly what to do with kids that are too young to communicate, but loose a gaggle of 7-12-year-olds onto him and your biological clock will assure you he'll make a Great Dad™.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Mornings with Kid are like being around a teddy bear. He doesn't say much, he'll cuddle you on reflex if you get too close, and if you want him to wake up faster you're going to have to consider some NSFW things.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

... Oh I can't really answer that safely, but, outside of Kid's favorite night time activity, he gets more energetic as the day goes on, so if you're too tired at night that's probably when he'll exercise, just so he can burn off enough energy to go to bed.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

He's more upfront about things he thinks will scare you off at the beginning. If you stick around and get past that you'll slowly learn everything about him. It might take some time, but it won't necessarily be because he's embarrassed or secretive. He just doesn't think anyone would find him that interesting.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Kid's temper is like flash paper – it's easy to ignite and burns bright, but it doesn't last long. He can smolder about something for Weeks if it's really important, but if things get resolved he's not holding onto things. He only gets physical when there's a need for it – like an actual fight or conflict that requires it. As loud as he gets during an argument with a friend or partner he never lets it turn into a physical fight.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Kid doesn't want you to know that he knows, but he doesn't forget much of anything. His hobbies are detail-oriented, and so is he. But remembering things is sappy sucker stuff, so he's not admitting to any of it – but hang around him long enough and you'll realize he knows everyone's favorite drink, gives little random "whatever" gifts for every birthday, and certainly remembers to get tickets for the thing you mentioned that one time, and it's really no big deal.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

There's that moment when even Kid can't argue that you like him. A touch, a phrase, an event, something where even the most oblivious person on the planet would know – that's his favorite moment. When there was no room for him to argue how you've felt about him and not even the worst of his brain weasels could convince him otherwise.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Kid's almost too protective. He's big and bad. The world's big and bad. And you're not. Not compared to him, not compared to a cruel world. He doesn't want to lock you away in a tower, but it's a tempting idea. He really struggles with letting you have healthy freedoms and such, balanced against making sure you're safe.

And while he can't stop you from protecting him in return, he won't be happy about it. I mean, he will be happy that you care enough to want to protect him, but he's the big bad tough one in the relationship, and he's supposed to protect you.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

As loud and proud as Kid is, his gifts and dates and such are surprisingly lowkey. He's not a shout from the mountaintops kind of guy when it comes to his love for you, but he doesn't forget. Even if he might let you think he has forgotten.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

Kid doesn't handle his emotions well. As much as communication helps, sometimes you just have to let him fume for a while or cool off before you can do anything about it. It can be frustrating, but there's a lot of trauma behind it, and considering his size and strength, it's amazing that as ugly as it gets, he's never hurt anyone physically. He's hurled items around and punched holes in walls, but he's never even punched Killer during the worst of his fits, and Killer could legitimately take it.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Kid is surprisingly well-groomed. He looks rough and tumble, and he's not walking around smelling like strawberries or anything, but he keeps things trimmed and keeps himself clean. Tinkering and robotics are easier when you're not grimy.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Kid can move on, and eventually he will if things don't work out, but if things last you'll get him to admit that he didn't even know he was missing something until you came along and like, don't let that go to your head or anything.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

I don't think Kid ever knew a family before becoming friends with Killer. I feel like his name is Kid because he had like "Eustass" on a tag on a basket and the street people called him "That Eustass Kid" and he just decided his name was Eustass Kid. So when it comes to family stuff he's super awkward, but he always wanted one, so when it happens for him he's a mix of excited, happy and terrified he'll mess it all up.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)

Indecisiveness. Being wishy washy about things will drive him to making the choice for you, and neither of you are going to like that because he'll choose to cut his losses before things go any further.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)

Kid snores unless he's snuggling something. Doesn't matter if it's you, a pillow, a teddy bear or what. It's weird and you don't know why it works that way, but it does.

[047] Applied my version of Doom's partial invisibility fuzz effect and an accidental offshoot I created in the process, heehee :-)

[arrowheadedbitch]

Thinking about the episode where Nessie Jr hatches and how Colonel Baird assumes that Ezekiel is goofing off so she gives him a job to do and he keeps trying to get that job out of the way as fast as he can so he can go back to the very important job he was doing.

There's so much to be said about that part of the episode!

The way colonel baird assumes he's goofing off, the way he doesn't even try to defend himself until after he's already finished the thing she was stopping him from doing, the way he only explains why he was on his phone after she's already scolded him multiple times, the way he HACKED a GOVERNMENT SATALITE from his CELL PHONE, the way he genuinely cares about the egg despite it being dumped on him because of the assumption that he isn't working on something worthwhile, the way he's genuinely upset that he almost killed the egg by accident, the way he doesn't realise a bunsen burner will kill the baby but knows how to HACK a SATALITE from his CELL PHONE, the way he doesn't really care that Baird kept him away from his important work because of an assumption, the way he never tries to curb her assumption, the way he's only annoyed and really only mildly scolds her for making him take longer to figure out the other's were in big trouble, the way that this episode deeply effects how Baird sees Ezekiel, there's just so much to be said

(disclaimer: I am not saying this from a place of hostility to geese)

how did 3-year old you survive feeding geese :( when I was 4 I was feeding ducks and geese (which I was about the same height as at the time) at a local pond and they chased me and tried to bite me until my parents picked me up and ran. I didn't try to scare them and I was a generally quiet child, do I just have Bad Vibes to them or something? or is it something to do with their past experiences/socialization as Pond Ducks/Geese? nowadays whenever a goose or swan so much as starts staring at me I'm like "ok time to go :)"

Without knowing more about the situation, I can't say what particular thing you did, but I can say that geese don't chase people for no reason at all. It's possible you got too close rather than letting them come to you, it's possible you were just plain too close to their nesting site, it's possible you performed a movement that (in goose) suggested your desire to start a dispute. It's possible you were feeding them from your hands and they associated your hands with food, and were simply looking for more food, or attempting to chase you away from the food.

And to be clear, I'm definitely not advocating for people letting small children feed geese, honestly no one should be feeding wild animals, mostly because it familiarizes wildlife with humans and that can be bad, but also because it opens too many opportunities for humans to do the wrong things and end up hurt or scared. As a 4yo, it wasn't your responsibility to know how to interact with geese- it was your parents' job to monitor your actions, the actions and reactions of the geese, and remove you from the situation before it became a problem (or not put you in that position in the first place). The geese are blameless for acting like geese and you are blameless by reason of being 4 years old.

I ALSO want to be clear that being SCARED of something DOES NOT equal HATING something. Hate can stem from fear, and fear can stem from hate, but they are not the same thing. There are PLENTY of people, for example, who are terrified of spiders but who will either remove them from a place with a cup and paper, or fetch someone to do so, to prevent a spider from dying for the crime of being small. You (general) can be afraid of something and still treat it with respect. You do not have to hate the things you are afraid of.

[covington-shenanigans]

christ alive I love my parents and I'm glad I got to see them but they are just. so fucking exhausting

[myimaginationplain]

It's interesting to me how even though Thrúd has the aesthetic & air of the rebellious cool-girl archetype, she's far more sheltered than either Atreus or Angrboda, despite both of them being dorkier & visually softer. It's obvious in the way she talks about asking for her mother's permission to be a valkyrie, meanwhile Atreus has long stopped bothering to ask for his father's permission to do anything since before the beginning of the game, & Angrboda has no one's permission to even seek out since both of her parents are absent & her grandmother is estranged.

[joelletwo]

now this is gonna sound really stupid and i need no one to call me stupid about it -> it turns out when u make food that is more than the bare minimum to be edible. ie make it a lil fancy w a lot of flavors and textures going on (scary to me <- autist). u want to eat it more. and even tho its more work. sometimes the prospect of eating something that actually tastes great is motivating enough to get u thru the work. and so conversely it is easier to keep up a consistent eating routine. bc ur not also constantly bailing on planned mediocre dinners to eat all ur backup stock of emergency instant meals.

[tibli]

people really act like johndirk murdered their entire family or smth

[lavenoon]

So much red this episode, I almost expected more

@naffeclipse Admittedly, in my excitement yesterday I first misinterpreted the red glow on Y/N's hand as scary dog privileges gone wrong, so I decided to inflict that what-if on everyone else, too <3

[sysig]

What if Peepers got left behind with the main duo tho (Patreon)

[cb-writes-stuff]

Oh, also, I’m finally going to fix the issues with my bank card this weekend. So I’ll probably also be getting that crab checkmark I was supposed to get in… July? Idk.

ABC Head Canon - Trafalgar D. Water Law

SFW Alphabet!

18+ only

-:- Table of Consent -:-

SFW Alphabet

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Law's affection is pretty subtle. It's coffee made in the morning before you're up, and your favorite drink in his fridge even when you came over unexpectedly. It's snacks and quiet evenings in even though you had plans because it's obvious you need a break from the world.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Law is a give what he gets kind of friend. It's not like he's keeping strict records or anything, but if you're keeping your distance, so is he. He'll step up and step in sometimes, but most of the time he lets the other person decide how close/casual the relationship is. He's a little introverted in that sense, and that's why most of the people in his crew are high-energy – they pushed their way in and set the bar for what was being given.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Law was real hit or miss with cuddling until he became friends with Bepo. Minks and their hugging/snuggling breaks down anyone eventually xD – But now Law will have to actually stop himself from cuddling with people. He'll let people lean against him and snuggle without complaint, but it isn't until the boundaries of a relationship are defined (i.e. he's aware you're dating steady) that he'll start initiating cuddles.

Much like Eustass he tends to multitask his snuggling with reading/research/etc.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Law definitely wants a family in some way shape or form. Until he lost his family he had a really positive family experience, and I think he longs to have that again. He's really good at cleaning, a byproduct of being a doctor/surgeon, but his cooking skills are pretty basic. He's not bad, but no one's asking him to pick up extra shifts cooking for the crew.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

He'd be very clinical. Even if he was hurt by whatever the reason was, he'd keep it behind closed doors. Bepo, Penguin, and Sachi might know how much it actually affects him, but no one else would.

If it was kind of a mutual deal he'd probably be amenable to remaining friends. Sometimes things just don't work out that way and there's no hard feelings on either side.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Law falls faster and harder than he ever lets on, so a lot of his subtle affections and actions are because he doesn't want to overwhelm someone by coming on too hard or fast. He's educated enough to know the socially acceptable milestones for relationships, and he'll casually test the waters regarding commitment, but he's not dating just to pass the time, so he'll react accordingly.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Law understands trauma and abuse – and while he can be ruthless, he's not cruel or abusive himself. He can be sadistic behind closed doors – with consent – but outside of those parameters he's almost infinitely patient and kind, despite whatever expression is on his face.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Hugs are like cuddling for Law, he's not one to initiate them until he's reached a certain threshold in his relationship with someone, but thanks to Bepo he's really comfortable with receiving them. His hugs run the line too, from casual one-arm-side hugs, to clinging, almost desperate, don't-let-go-yet therapeutic hugs.

For a guy whose hands are cold more often than not his hugs are really warm.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Because of how hard and fast he can fall, he's hesitant to say it, but once it's said it's like the word is unsealed, and he's really comfortable with it. He'll hold back a little, for fear that overuse will diminish how you think he feels, but he's not rationing out 6 or 7 instances of it over a lifetime.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)

Unless it's an ongoing situation that gets under his skin repeatedly you'd probably never know. He's more likely to feel bad for feeling jealous, so he'll do whatever he can to keep it under wraps. If it gets to the point where it really irritates him he'll sit down and talk it out, but he's highly unlikely to lash out because of it.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Law's kisses are cool and dry, at least at first. It's the holding back thing at work, and he's restraining himself. He doesn't kiss just anyone either – hugs might be given out like candy to friends and such, but kisses are for relationships.

One solid make-out session and you realize his kisses behind closed doors are completely different. Passionate and hot and deep, he's stealing your breath and sending rushes into your skin with teasing nips and kisses at your neck and ears. He kisses how he likes to be kissed, so mimicking what he does for you (until he learns what you really like), is a good way to make sure he's getting kissed where and how he likes.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Law looks like the last person you want to ask to babysit for you, but he's surprisingly good with kids. Sometimes it's the Bepo-effect, but most of the time it's because he's patient and even tempered. Kids know they don't have to be afraid of him, even when he looks stressed.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Law's a morning person because he has to be, but he's also so overworked and busy he's often a night person too. In the end he's really just a flesh golem operating on an abundance of coffee and spite.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Without the need to be up first thing in the morning, Law would flourish better at night. He's up late night's because it's easier to focus then vs midday, and he gets more done. Granted, it means little sleep, but he's learned to push those boundaries.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

Law's give and take shows its head again in this regard. He won't volunteer much, but he'll share in response to being trusted in the first place. Some of it is the last vestiges of legitimate trust issues, but mostly it's trying to keep himself from oversharing, or investing himself in someone who might not be committed to sticking around.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Law's patience is impressive. Even when he looks angry, it's more likely he's sleep-deprived and irritated, and not legitimately pissed. Actual anger from Law is rare, and it's really only going to happen if you've betrayed him in some way – I imagine he'd forgive just about anything else with enough time.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Law does his best to hold onto the details, but there's a lot on his plate, and not enough sleep to keep a hold of all of it. He'll forget small things from time to time, but he's got all the big important bits down pat quickly. Organizers help him keep track of dates and events, and his friends will help keep him on track too – knowing all of his quirks and responsibilities, they do what they can to help.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

That first kiss. That defining moment when he knew he'd finally be able to let loose a little and when he picks you up and kisses you deep against the wall, it becomes a good memory for you too.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Law is fiercely protective and is really bad about give and take in this regard. He always puts himself in the most dangerous situations in any of his plans, and carries much more of the burden than he needs to. Some of it is wanting to keep those dear to him safe, but some of it is also wanting to be in control and able to adapt to any changes in a plan.

He wouldn't try and keep you locked away from the world though, being free is important to him, and no matter the risks he'd never take that from someone.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

He's a little bare minimum on dates, but his daily everyday tasks are so sweet that it's not a big deal, and sometimes his friends will help make sure he does a little extra for anniversaries. Flowers, dressing up, making reservations, that sort of thing. He tends to gift randomly when the mood strikes him, but Sachi and Penguin will remind him about holidays and such sometimes just in case.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

He sits inside his head too much, takes on too much of a plan or issue, and sometimes it can leave you feeling like he doesn't trust you. In all honesty he's trying not to burden you, and it's really hard to pull him out of this habit.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Law's only concern is to be clean and comfortable. The fact that he looks so good when his concern is so minimal is enough to drive everyone around feral, but he's got the body of a model – or near enough – so he doesn't need much effort. He wore a tight white t-shirt and a pair of jeans one day and you almost didn't want him to leave the house for fear he'd get mobbed.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

With how hard and fast he tends to fall for someone, yes. He won't let on if things fall apart, but by the time he's popping the question, he's laying himself bare in terms of his feelings and how important you are to him.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

He's a hopeless romantic, and when you go the extra mile and surprise him with a date, or rose-petals for a special at-home evening, he's so touched he'll be flustered. He'd actively do such things for you more often, but he's so tired/busy that he often loses the thread of planning before he's begun more than he cares to admit.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)

He's okay with all sorts of relationship set ups – traditional, open, throuples, poly, etc. – his big thing is that no matter what shape it takes, communication is important. He's not okay with uncomfortable surprises, like learning about a new person in your open relationship because he came home early. (also, don't do that! Bad poly practice, bad! Communicate first, smooch second.)

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

He doesn't move much when he sleeps. Unless you come around. The second you sit down on the bed, or settle down too close to him he'll pull you in and it's an immovable cage. You're sleeping that way and you might as well just accept it.

(If he does it before you've really progressed he will wake up in the morning mortified and apologetic.)

[suffercerebral]

me having gone to bed at 6 am every day for the past week and generally spiraling mentally while rotting in bed waking up this morning: a 4 mile hike in the heat is a really good idea right now, and while we're at it let's start like 3 art projects
