I don’t want Angel to be latent. I love them how they are, they’re so cool Like imp!angel was literally executed because imp!Damien could not handle them being a badass.

Them being an unempowered alphas mate is hot and important

[arrowfleur]

This is probably (definitely) late but I have so very many:

Wish that you were here~ Florence and the machine: ‘And I never minded being on my own. Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home. To be where you are. ‘

Sleeping on the blacktop ~ colter wall: ‘Sunshine beating on the good times, moonlight raising from the grave’ ‘pack o’ young boys going howling at the moon. Hey Darlin, running through the trees honey. Hey Darlin, heading for the next town less’n my sense catches up with me.’ (This entire song tbh, there’s even a car crash reference…)

Okay ~ Backhouse Mike: ‘So here you are, mistakenly mistaken for a deeper scar. A hole in your heart and the same for me’ ‘There is no upper hand I’m giving you mine’

Like real people do ~ Hozier: ‘Why were you digging? What did you bury before those hands pulled me from the earth?’ I will not ask and neither should you.’

Losing my religion ~ R.E.M

A match into water ~ pierce the veil: ‘I kiss the scars on her skin I still think you’re beautiful and I never want to lose my best friend’ ‘dreamless in early graves, I never want it to be this way’ ‘but if we die at the same time does it still scare you?’

Little lion man ~ Mumford and Sons: *copy and pastes entire lyrics*

Hurt ~ Johnny Cash: ‘What have I become? My sweetest friend. Everyone I know, goes away in the end. And you could have it all, my empire or dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt. If I could start again, a million miles away, I would keep myself. I would find a way.’

Francesca ~ Hozier

Honourable mentions (cause only certain parts fit)

Radio ~ Lana del ray ‘Their heavy words can’t keep me down, boy I’ve been raised from the dead. No one even knows how hard life was, I don’t even think about it now because, I finally found you’

Heartless ~ Kanye: ‘In the night I hear them talk, the coldest story ever told. Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul, to a woman so heartless’

please give me songs that remind u of sam bc i am struggling

NSFW

Darlin’ and Sam are super pro dry humping. They love that shit. They both love each other thighs especially. They told me this themselves btw

[arrowfleur]

Sam saying Porter won’t be able to win every fight got me thinking about him Injured and bloody. Stumbling his way to Treasures house.

He doesn’t need anything from them, even refuses blood, just wants to lay in their lap as his body heals itself.

Thinking about how wolves body language might affect how the Shaw pack act as humans..

and as someone who’s favourite animals has always been a wolf and whom receives a ‘wolf howling at the moon’ t-shirt ever birthday I feel just about qualified to make this headcanon tumblr post

Disclaimer: I am aware the shaw pack characters are not animals and a lot of these headcanons come with the context that they have grown up as humans and understand when and when not to do these things amongst humans/ when none shifted, anywho

David has the best posture out of everyone in the pack. His back is constantly straight, even hunched over a desk with a pile of paperwork. Whether he’s stressed or relaxed. He doesn’t slouch.

His hair is also the fluffiest

Shifters have more control over their hair, like a wolf would with its fur. So when they are in trouble or having a one on one discussion with David their hair tends to flatten.

And it gets more voluminous when they’re relaxed, which leads to a lot of them getting glorious bed head even if they don’t move around a lot

In the right context shifters will take continuous eye contact to mean that you want to fight with them.

Often if the shifter couples have squabbles the shifter will begin to refuse eye contact as a sign they don’t want to argue anymore.

Kisses are also used amongst shifters in these situations, to diffuse tension and communicate their wish to de-escalate the situation.

which was can be very confusing to non-shifters in the beginning of their relationship. Talk about mixed signals. /hj

The shifters don’t tend to lay down unless completely secure with those around them

The wolves also have a large set of different facial expressions used to communicate, similar to humans but much subtler. The mates have gotten good at reading these but it is very confusing at first, when one facial expression can mean two completely different things.

If a baby is brought into the pack, everybody takes care of it and the parents. Not quite so hands on as if they were actual wolves but they all bring round food etc

Wolves ‘bow’ when wishing to play. So if your shifter mate starts leaning down low on their desk or countertops or the edge of the couch, they’re probably planning to tackle you.

When they get excited, they all kind of shout over each other instinctively, like a howl. It often gets very loud when this happens but it’s rare in their non-shifted form as they know other ways to express their shared enthusiasm.

They DO NOT like it if someone else wears a strong cologne/ perfume in their house. Not just because their senses are heightened but because their homes should smell predominantly of them. It’s their territory.

They bare teeth as a warning.

Some of the shifters do some things more than others, for Darlin’, traditional kissing and eye contact rules are very instinctive for them whereas for Milo it’s his posture amongst different members of the pack.

And lastly, Packs tend to be started by a dominant mated pair. Meaning that, unempowered or not, Angel is highly, highly respected in the pack.

I think that was me and I love love this!

Connecting him staying there with his last victim and him getting caught is so big brain

And I always imagine that he’d get annoyed by their blood tasting different too. Maybe trying to frighten his victims to add that energy into them that Darlin’a blood has , trying to tease and taunt them so they’d fight back like Darlin’ would, but it never worked and he’d get SO frustrated

whoever said that everyone of quinn's captures looked like darlin in one way or another ATE ATE ATE ATE ATEEEE with that hc because i literally can't stop thinking about it and how sick and twisted and so in love quinn was (and still is) with darlin

I'm adding to that that the very last one (the girl he used to as lavage to get sam) look so much like them- so much that if you made just some slight adjustments to their general look you'd confuse the two, but she didn't act like them, she wasn't as firey and stubborn as they were,do it was so so close getting his prescious back,yet so far away and it drove him crazy that he stayed put for long enough that ansel and his team caught up to him

she drove him so mad that he just killed her- his dear prescious, and out of shock thinking that he actually killed darlin ,he wasn't ready to fight them off and so was captured

them after awhile and getting his head on straight,he decided to manipulate everything to fall in his favor using words

I love how everyone’s freaking about how happy Sam sounds in the foolsiverse. The fact that the setting of the audio is so close to Sam’s HBS 23. Grinding on each other in the club and Sam’s lack of dancing skills included. Got me thinking about how it reflects with canon!

What are the main differences between the two?

🩷 Sam’s maker is Vincent

🩷 William doesn’t seem to be in the picture

🩷 Sam is a healer

🩷 Darlin’ is proudly part of the pack when they meet

AND WHAT HAS CHANGED SINCE HIM AND DARLIN GOT TOGETHER IN CANON?!!

Sam’s leaving the Solaire house WITH Vincent and is returning to healing as his profession. Darlin’ has returned to the pack and both them and Sam are a big part of it.

They are finding their happiest versions together, despite all of the fucked up shit. I love them I love them I love them.

David being so jealous of Darlin’ growing up because they always got away with everything, he wanted that freedom and lack of responsibility

Darlin’ being so jealous of David growing up because he always had everything, they wanted that family and that security

And then.. they kiss

All the darlin’ kinnies giving Darlin’ the most traumatic backstory cause they crave trauma that can’t be dismissed or made to seem less than

All the Angel kinnies who walk around on eggshells constantly and just want to get to be loud and weird without being judged

All the sweetheart kinnies who just want people to notice how hard they TRY.

All the babe kinnies who want to find someone like them for once and not be the odd one out

How’s your days going

Sam & Darlin HC’s: ft Alexis and Quinn below the cut

Every time they’re in season, Darlin’ buys Sam bouquets of sunflowers

Sam is unsuspectingly good at plaiting hair, and everytime he does it, whether it’s for himself, them or a friend, Darlin’ suspiciously asks where he learnt that from 🤨.

He learnt for his grandmother.

Darlin’ has on multiple occasions bribed workers to keep places open late so that Sam can experience things with them. Aquariums, bowling alleys, you name it.

Whenever Darlin’ can’t sleep, Sam inconspicuously suggests they go sit on the porch swing cause ‘fresh air’s good for the soul’. Works like a charm.

Despite what people might think, Sam is the jealous one in the relationship. Not in an insecure way, juuuust don’t touch what’s his.

Lovely came over to Sam’s most nights Vincent went back on watch duty, after their turning. They’d bring over skincare (face masks etc) for him and Darlin’ everytime. Both of them were equally confused what the fuck an ice roller was and how it was of any use.

Darlin’ is obsessed with Sam’s fireplace and they use it often in winter. Meticulously stacking up the wood, creasing up old news paper pages and using half a pack of matches to get it lit. Sam technically could conjure up enough magic to light it in about three seconds but he doesn’t have the heart to tell them.

The entire time Sam was trapped during the inversion, he kept getting a fuzzy feeling in his chest. He thought it was his magic stores running low but didn’t have time to focus on it.

The entire time Sam was trapped during the inversion, Darlin whispered the word ‘Mate’ to themselves so they’d know he was okay.

TW: the usual violence when it comes to Quinn stuff, below ⬇️

William and Sam are the only ones In the Solaire clan that know about Alexis’ past. The first time Alexis realised Sam didn’t feel the same way she did was after she’d cried to him about it. He comforted her and she’d asked him about the scars on his back in return. Sam just gently shook his head. He didn’t want to share those parts of himself with her.

Every single one of Quinn’s Victims after he ran away looked like Darlin’ in some way. All of them had at least the same eye and hair colour and each time they failed to sate him the way Darlin’ could that’s when he’d …

Darlin’ doesn’t know the first part, Sweetheart and David do.

[arrowfleur]

This is so Sam Collins

[arrowfleur]

I need more listeners that DONT need to take a break

‘You’re pushing yourself too much’ who are you talking too

‘ I know your jobs means alot to you’ I hate working, I’ll happily take a day off

Don’t get me wrong I enjoy being told to get back in bed and have a lazy day but that’s cause I’m a lazy gal.

David needs to tell me to get up and do something fr

Asher and babe walk just with their pinky’s crossed btw

Redacted Head canons ੈ✩‧₊˚

✧.* Freelancer is such a loser but they’re so unaware of how loser-y they are that they’ve gone full circle and are cool as shit

✧.* Sam is tatted as shit but none of them show since he’s always in a long sleeve flannel. Whenever people see the tattoos it comes as quite a shock but he suits them so well.

✧.* Morgan barely ever reads the news but he always picks up a paper because he loves the puzzles and crosswords

✧.* Angel has so so many accessories for their outfits and after they moved in with David he built them a personalised hidden cupboard to store them in for an anniversary present

✧.* Gavin has a pierced tail and horns with little heart jewellery in them. He just walked past a piercing shop one day and was intrigued since they don’t do that in Aria

✧.* Sweetheart is so good at style. They love going thrifting and finding pieces for all of their friends, especially waistcoats and jewellery.

✧.* Baby hates wearing chunky bracelets/necklaces now, they don’t like the feeling of the weight but can’t pin-point why

✧.* Asher went to a class to learn how to braid babes hair for them. Babe dyes his for him, no lessons just winging it but it turns out 10/10.

✧.* Lovely wears contact lenses a lot as part of their style, they have contacts of their original eye colour but haven’t been able to bring themselves to put them in.

✧.* Morgan has a ‘Sam’s flannel’ sized collection of plaid pj pants. He was wearing them when his listener turned up to his house.

✧.* William has never moved on from the partner he had before he was turned. He’s forgotten what they sound like.

Yessir 🫡 (gn)

They have matching onesies and they look fucking adorable in them.

For their first anniversary one of the gifts Babe bought for Asher was a children’s fort making kit from Amazon.

It was a kind of gag gift but Asher thought it was really sentimental and they actually use it all the time.

They have makeover dates where they paint each others nails, do face masks, even sometimes dye their hair.

Admittedly Asher is more into it than Babe but it’s super relaxing.

Asher actually sticks his tongue out when concentrating really hard on something

Babe really likes foreign candy’s and snacks but they’re hard to come by so Asher subscribed to a monthly box for them.

Asher is weirdly obsessed with Babes back dimples he loves them and thinks they are the cutest things in the world.

On multiple occasions (usually when they are overworking themselves) Babe has found Asher in the kitchen attempting to follow a recipe he found online so that they at least have something healthy to eat.

His cooking has only improved slightly but he’s really good at making salads and Quinoa bowls

Asher signs them up for the most random couples classes, the latest was yoga with goats.

A photo of Asher with said goats is now Babes Lock Screen

Similarly Babe loves finding little hidden spots for them to visit together.

If the other really can’t sleep then they go on late night walks together, usually not talking just holding hands and looking up at the night sky.

They a the comfiest couple ever, their apartment is just so soft and homely and filled with little trinkets, blankets etc

They also have a very cool mug collection

Not enough asher and babe content on this damn app, drop hcs rn
