whatever happens, happens Valentine 💌 💘

HERE ON MASTERLIST 9

Valentine's Headcanons include…

Spike is not the kind to really indulge in something like Valentine's Day, not really into the whole "lovey dovey" scene. Comes with his past and all.

May or may not tease you about Valentine's, especially if you really enjoy the holiday or what comes along with it.

But he is observant, and he'll put something together for you once he gets a glimpse of what you like.

Cue a surprise you find in your room of small gifts, trinkets that he put together for you. Along with a crudely written note:

"Whatever happens, happens Valentine. I'm in the living room, if you ever want to talk."

Who says he doesn't have a heart?

vicinity

character: spike spiegel

reader: gender neutral

content warnings: unhealthy relationship; obsessive and possessive behavior, stalking. sex mention. intentional injuries

summary: he loves you, but he doesn’t quite know how to handle that

✩ he’s down to try just about anything, at least once

✩ you want him to choke you out? he’ll do it. you want to tie him down? go ahead! he has virtually no gag reflex and can hold his breath for an outstanding amount of time, if you’re into that. in public, in private; all you have to do is bring it up, all you have to do is ask

✩ all that he asks of you in return is that you don’t ever leave him

✩ yeah, this guy’s got abandonment issues. you could even say he’s a little bit obsessed with you. or a lot, depending on your reaction to finding this out

✩ the more you push him away, the more the anxiety rises within him. the more the anxiety climbs, the more…problematic he could become

✩ he’d intentionally get too reckless during hunts so that you’ll take care of him afterwards. he needs your shoulder to walk. he needs you to cook for him. he needs you to change his bandages—and now that you can see the full extent of his injuries, you would be just plain heartless if you were to up and leave him, wouldn’t you?

✩ he’d plant a tracking device on you, just to keep an eye on your whereabouts. where do you go when he’s not with you? for how long? do you linger at specific locations? and what are those places?

✩ he’s already lost one love, before. he lost her because he looked away. because he let her out of his line of sight

✩ he won’t ever let you go

✩ he gets jealous very easily. not long after, he gets possessive. don’t get close to anyone else. don’t talk to anyone else. don’t look at anyone else

✩ why would you, if you have him? he’s all you need. he’ll make sure of that

✩ if you’re his, that’s what you would be. nothing else

✩ there isn’t much he wouldn’t do, to keep you by his side. know that if you’re going to pursue him, because it’s going to have to be you if you want more than an occasional hookup

✩ it would be your fault, if things go wrong

Wholesome Headcanons I think the cowboy bebop characters did in their childhood.

●Spike

He had this really old toy gun he adored. he would constantly go around going BANG! Little Spike was absolutely devastated when it broke.

●Faye

●Jet

When she got her memories back, something comforting she remembered was sneaking into the kitchen at night to steal sweets.

When he was innocent and didn't know how corrupt the police were, he used to idolize cartoon heroes and police officers he saw on tv.

●Vicious

would never tell a soul, but he used to feed the stray cats. Also, crumble up bread for the birds whenever he went to the park.

●Gren

used to smash keys on the piano whenever they were in contact with one. In the same line of thought, they would immediately try to play with any instrument they saw.

Julia

Whenever her mother wasn't there, Julia would sneak into her mother's bathroom to play with makeup. She'd mostly just smear red lipstick over her face, So if you're wondering, that's where her love of red lipstick came from.

●Edward

little Ed would make weird things for the people they liked. The adults were creeped out by it, but Ed was happy.

●Ein

Ein would absolutely bark at everything when he was pup, and he could get away with it too, because he is adorable.

[illegal-spiegel]

Jet and Spike hand holding head canons? Pls 🥺👉👈

Oh absolutely bestie. This is so cute!

Spike:

Spike's probs the kind of guy that will flirt up a STORM with you before you start dating

and even when you do start dating, homie doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut around you

when it comes to physical touch, he'll slap your ass, place a hand on your back, have you sit on his lap, all of that good shit

something sweet and romantic as holding hands though????

don't hold your breath

homie is probs just so touch starved and doesn't know the first thing about romance that it probs doesn't even cross his mind

and when it does, he just gets red in the face and forgets the idea

when you hold his hand for the first time, it's probs in the beginning of your relationship when you two are sitting on the couch watching tv or smth

gets so incredibly flustered over literally nothing

he can whisper dirty shit in your ear right in front of Jet with ZERO problem, but lord forbid you hold this man's hand LMAO

anyway, after that, y'all start holding hands more often

it takes a while for him to feel confident enough to hold your hand in public though

he's working on it though <3

when holding hands, if his thumb isn't on the outside, he will absolutely riot

Jet:

awe this lil cutie patootie

his first move on you was probs holding your hand

like, it took him MONTHS to work up the courage to actually hold your hand

just like Spike, he was tomato red in the face the entire time he was working up the courage to do it

it's probably when you two are alone, whether that be on the couch on the Bebop or at a secluded table in a restaurant

wherever it is, when he finally works up the nerve to just go for it, his hands are SOAKED

like, they're so wet and clammy it's a lil gross

you can't help but giggle at him

finally he's picked up on the flirting and hints you've been putting down

"Wanna wipe off your hands and try again, champ?" you tease him

this only causes him to get even redder

he huffs and turns his head away, removing his hand from yours

"Now you've lost your hand holding privileges."

"Wah! No! I'm sorry! C'mon, hold my hand again! I promise I won't complain!"

after hearing your begging, he smirks and offers his hand back out (which is much dryer now)

after that, it's a miracle if you two aren't holding hands after that

definitely is the type of hand holder where his thumb rubs the back of your hand

Easy Like Sunday

on days where there was nothing to do, which tbh wasn't exactly rare, you did menial tasks and relaxed

this relaxation cycle, you were on ganymede

Jet was doing some repairs to the Bebop

you offered to help but he saw you had a bag full of hair products and declined

Faye was sunbathing on the pier

surprisingly, she let Ein rest next to her

when Ed saw your bag they asked if they could help

part of you hated that idea but another part thought it would be like having a younger sibling help

"I don't know if that's a good idea, y/n" Spike warned lightly as you passed him

he was fishing without much luck

"it's fine, if they get too chaotic, I'll send them your way"

he chuckled but you were entirely serious

"by the way this spot is known for being a fish drought" you said as you followed Ed into the the Bebop

you sat in the common room and taught Ed how to do box braids

they were very receptive and better than you at doing them and you've been doing your own hair for years

you only feel a little jealousy at this

Just something out of my writing closet....

[undercanonthots]

I'M BACK!

What's up guys! It's been a loooong time since I posted here for the last time. I just wanted to say that now that I have some free time, I would love to take requests.

So, feel free to ask me to write whatever you like!

These are some of the fandoms I would love to write for:

- Jujutsu Kaisen

- Hellsing

- Final Fantasy VII

- Hunter X Hunter

- Monster

- Gangsta

- Cowboy Bebop

But If you have any other suggestions I'll try my best to write about them.

As always, English is not my first language so, I apologize in advance for my many mistakes.

You can request SFW and NSFW headcanons, mini-fanfics, S/O x Character, Angst, Imagines...

And that's all! (I think so?)

Hope to hear from yall

[the-late-night-writer]

NSFW Alphabet, Spike Spiegel: A-Z

I searched around for one of these for Spike and came up empty-handed, so I decided to make one for him myself. I don’t plan on making them for other Cowboy Bebop characters, and the only thing I take requests for is the drabbles pinned on my profile. Contains 18+ content.

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

Spike always makes sure to have a canteen around for when both of you have finished. You’re gonna be pretty thirsty, especially after going a round or two with him. If you smoke, he’ll offer you a cigarette. After that he’s surprisingly snuggly. You wouldn’t think so, but hey, he’s led a pretty lonely life, so he likes to cuddle up to you.

B = Body Part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

On himself, it’s probably his hands. He has big, steady hands with slender fingers, and man does he know how to use them.

On you, he loves your hips. They’re where his hands travel to most often. And oh man does he love, love to hold onto your hips while you make love. Whether you’re riding him or he’s thrusting into you, they’re perfect for keeping him anchored in place. Seeing the way his fingers grip your hips will get him going even more.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically)

It’s thick in consistency, and there’s typically a lot of it. Though he loves how it feels to cum inside of you, he’s a little wary of it given the way he feels about children. Mostly he prefers to finish himself off when he’s close and cum over your belly. Not that he never cums inside you - in the moment he’s easily persuaded if you ask him to, and you love the way he pulses inside of you when he finishes.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He very seldom had sex after what happened with Julia, however one night he was particularly pent up and found himself at a place called ‘The Hole in the Wall’. It’s basically a place where you can get off using a variety of sex toys, and he ended up fucking a fleshlight while listening to audio of a woman moaning. It was a pretty low moment for him, as he still hadn’t really moved on from Julia enough to want to have sex with anyone else, but he was so horny at that point he had to do something other than get himself off with his own hand.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Oh, absolutely. I imagine he lost his virginity when he was pretty young, probably in his mid-teens, and we know for a fact he and Julia were having sex. He’s had quite a bit of time to learn by the time you two get together. He can draw an orgasm out of you in pretty much any way you can think of: with his tongue, his fingers, his cock. He knows his way around a woman’s body. You are not gonna come away unsatisfied after going a round with him.

F = Favorite Position (This goes without saying.)

He would say he doesn’t have a favorite, but he adores it when you’re on top of him. He loves positions that allow you to take control. Cowgirl is an obvious favorite; he loves to hold your hips and watch you ride him, and enjoys the view quite a bit; he’s not really a fan of Reverse Cowgirl because he prefers to see the face you’re making while you ride him. Watering Can is also a go-to for him when he’s wanting something a little more intimate, as you can get face to face and kiss while making love. Oasis is another one he loves, as he can give some attention to your boobs while you’re riding him. If you really wanna see Spike get worked up, start fucking yourself on his cock. He’ll lose control and cum pretty quickly.

While it’s not his favorite, Spike also enjoys Missionary. His movements are really fluid from learning martial arts, and he really enjoys how efficiently he can satisfy you in that position. The way he rolls his hips is absolutely delicious. He also enjoys Coffee Table, Louise, and Merger for their close contact and their ability to allow you to take control and set the pace.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Rarely, but he definitely can be! I think he prefers to be more passionate in the moment, though. He’s also much more of a tease than he is a goofball.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

It’s a few shades darker than the curtains. As for grooming… You’ve seen the hair on the top of his head, right? If he didn’t groom himself, that’s how it would be. So he keeps himself very well-groomed to prevent that. He’d never admit it but he’s slightly self-conscious of it if he lets it grow out, and he’s worried about how you would feel about it.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment?)

More often than not, sex is all about intimacy with Spike. If it’s your first time, he’ll go all out for you. He never imagined being in a relationship after what happened with Julia, especially not one where he’s so in love, and so supported by you. Expect a lot of kissing, eye contact, hand holding, and sweet-talking. He’s a talker. He calls you sweetheart, honey, and most of all, he’ll call you his girl. I don’t think he’s ever had sex without saying a word during. Talking to you while you’re making love is just such a big turn on for him, and he can’t help himself.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

Spike is a hot-blooded man. He’s no stranger to jacking off. He prefers to jack off while he’s sitting up rather than lying down, and often does a little bit of edging on himself if he’s wanting a really satisfying orgasm. Before you came along, he jacked off much more, but now only does it if he wakes up horny in the middle of the night or if you’re not in the mood. You actually love to watch him please himself, and he’s put on a show for you a few times. He always prefers your hand to his own, though.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

This boy wants to be used. He thinks it’s so hot when you take control and just fuck yourself on his cock, or if you just grind against his fingers to get some stimulation. Watching how worked up you get just from the feel of his cock or his hand is such a huge turn-on for him. He wants to give you whatever you need, and he wants to watch when you push yourself over the edge and finally cum. He will praise you the whole time, telling you how pretty you look, how good it must feel, and what a great job you’re doing. If he can make you cum more than once? That’s the creme de la creme for him. 

He also has a pretty mild edging kink, and will often edge himself when he’s masturbating. He gets a pretty satisfying orgasm out of it, so he’ll do it if he’s really pent up. He may even ask you to edge him if you’re wanting to jack him off yourself, and that’s an experience you really enjoy because you love to see his reaction to you pleasing him.

L = Location (Favorite places to do the do)

Can’t beat the bedroom. It’s the place that allows the most freedom with positions, and he can be as intimate as he wants. If you two are living together, he’ll have no problem with venturing to other places around the house to have sex. If you’re living with other people, well, that’s a different story. He’ll keep it confined to the bedroom so as not to be interrupted by anyone else. Two’s company, three’s a crowd.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going, etc.)

It honestly doesn’t take much. If you’re wearing something that shows a little extra skin, if you run your fingers through his hair (especially at the back of his neck - it’s sensitive), if you brush up against him just right… hell, sometimes even just being in the same space as you will get him hard. Also, we all know he loves the kind of woman that can kick his ass, so if you two are sparring one day and you get rough with him… expect to get a little frisky with him afterward. That really gets him going.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs, etc.)

He will absolutely not hurt you while you’re having sex. He can get pretty kinky if you like, but he draws the line at causing you any kind of pain. He’s also not too keen on threesomes, since he views sex as more of an intimate experience and would prefer to focus all his attention on just you.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

If you let him… this man will eat you out for hours. He loves to taste you. And he knows what he’s doing with that tongue of his. When giving oral, his go to is the Hunger position. He loves to get on his knees, throw your legs back over his shoulders, and just dive in, all while grabbing your hips, of course. If he wants to do something a little different, he’ll take you in the Emmanuel position and let you ride his face. He’s never opposed to receiving, either, if you’re up for it. He prefers to receive in the Snake Charmer position, and he’s not picky with how you decide to please him. If you want to take him into your mouth, deep-throat him, or even just tease the tip of his cock with your tongue while you stroke his shaft, he’s down.  Also, if you ever decided to take him in the Croissant or Marshmallow position and give him oral, his head might actually explode. Having the tables turned with you throwing his legs over your shoulders, he would lose it. That session would not last long at all, because he wouldn’t be able to control himself and would cum pretty early on.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

More often than not you’re gonna make love to him slowly and sensually. He’s actually a really passionate lover and doesn’t get to show that off to anyone else, so when you’re making love, he really indulges in that. You never feel like you two are “fucking”. It’s really clear that he’s putting a lot into being intimate and sensual with you. If you want to get him to be fast and rough, you really have to get him worked up beforehand. Smack him around a little while you’re sparring, or tease him throughout the day. Get him really desperate for sex, and he will really let loose while you two are going at it. Those rounds don’t last as long, obviously, because you two will go hurtling toward your orgasms at a rocketing pace if he’s thrusting into you with no control. The way he moves his body is absolutely heavenly, and you can’t restrain yourself for long when he’s going at it like he means it.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

He always prefers proper sex over quickies, but that doesn’t mean he’s opposed to having them. He would much rather take his time to make love to you properly and make sure you’re both satisfied, but if there’s not a lot of time and both of you are really wanting each other… Quickie it is.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

He’s down to experiment in the bedroom 100%, especially if you have something you want to try. He really appreciates that you trust him enough and feel comfortable enough with him to come to him with those requests. When the shoe is on the other foot, however, and he wants to try something, he gets a little nervous when it comes to asking you about it. He is very big on pleasing you and gets a little embarrassed when it comes to his own pleasure. His asks are never taboo or unreasonable, so you’re not sure why he has such trouble coming to you about them.

As for risks, he’s not too big on them. The thought of public sex is a bit thrilling to him, but he would make sure you two would be doing it somewhere other people wouldn’t catch you or interrupt you. As I mentioned in C, he’s pretty wary of cumming inside you, but when he’s in the moment or close to having an orgasm, he’s very easily swayed, especially if you ask him. A “Please, Spike, I want it inside,” and he’s already tumbling over the edge. He adores how it feels when you’re cumming together and I think his desire in the moment overrides the risk. So that’s about as risky as he gets.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long they last, etc.)

Spike has some pretty good stamina. He’s used to fighting and running around constantly, and being that active has certainly paid off when it comes to activities in the bedroom. He can go as long as either of you need, and since he edges himself a lot of the time when he masturbates, he’s really good at bringing himself to the edge and then pulling back if you haven’t cum yet. Typically he wants to get you off a few times before he cums, then after that he’ll bask in the afterglow for ten to twenty minutes, but then he should be ready to go another round. He can go three rounds in a night pretty easily, but any more than that is pushing it. Not to mention he’ll probably be shooting blanks, as well. If you’re wanting to have a good long fuck, feel free to absolutely wear him out in round one. He’ll be down for the count the rest of the night, but damn, you’ll come away thoroughly satisfied.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

He doesn’t own any toys but he’s definitely used some in the past, more on that in section D. Depending on what it was, he’d absolutely let you use toys on him, and he’d be more than happy to use toys on you. Spike is actually secretly curious about using a vibrator, and wants to see what it would feel like to use one on himself. When he overcomes his embarrassment I’m sure he’ll tell you about it.

U = Unfair (How much they like to tease)

Oh my lord… Spike is the biggest tease. When he’s getting ready to go down on you and sees how wet you already are, he smirks and says, “This worked up for little ‘ole me, huh?” You can always expect him to have something to say during foreplay or sex (or any other time, really). He balances it really well with sincerity, though. He’s usually smirking while asking you how good it feels, or that you seem to be enjoying yourself, etc. But when he looks you deep in the eyes, straight-faced, and says with this deep husky voice, “You ready for me? Or do you wanna get yourself off on my fingers?” You know it’s not a taunt or a challenge, and that he genuinely wants to see if you’re ready or need a bit more foreplay.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Spike is naturally a moaner. He’s really worked hard at suppressing them over the years, because when he’s living with others it’s embarrassing to be moaning so loud every time he gets laid. It’s not like he wants the whole house or ship to know what he’s up to. By the time he starts sleeping with you, the noises he makes the most during sex are just his heavy breathing and the occasional grunt or groan. However… when he gets really close to his orgasm or he’s feeling a bit overstimulated, he’ll let out some pretty beautiful moans. Once you get a taste of them you want to hear them all the time, so Spike purposely tries not to hold back so much, but it’s hard to unlearn the habit.

If you really want him to make some noise for you, when you’re giving him a handjob or blowjob, continue stimulating him during his orgasm. You once kept sucking him off after he’d already started cumming, and he let out the most beautiful, deep, keening moans you’d ever heard. He just couldn’t help himself. And his expression while he came? Absolutely sinful. You pretty much melted into a puddle over the whole situation.

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon)

Spike has been known to have insanely long orgasms. It doesn’t happen all the time, and he’s not sure if it’s tied to how horny he is at the time, but when it does… oh boy. Sometimes he can be riding them out for well over 30 seconds, his cock pulsing and ejaculating the entire time (though the intervals are a little more spaced out). These orgasms really wear him out, and he prefers for you to hold him during or even better, stroke him to get him to finish off quicker. This is one of the occasions that’ll get him moaning involuntarily. Once they taper off he’s usually trembling and panting and collapsing into your arms. Also, occasionally, he can cum twice in quick succession, but the second one is always a much smaller cumshot.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants)

Spike is, to no one’s surprise, pretty well-endowed. He’s about 6 ¾ inches long, a little longer when he’s hard. He’s about 5 inches in girth. Spike has a pretty straight dick, with no noticeable curves or any prominent veins. The head is a bit fat, and he uses that to his advantage when he’s pleasing you. It’s very pretty to look at, for sure.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

His sex drive is definitely above average, but nothing too crazy. There are definitely times where he just can’t get enough of you, and that’ll lead to you two having sex much more often, but usually he gets by with once a night or every couple of nights. He has no desire to go a week or more without having sex with you when he can, so if it’s been a while expect him to initiate some lovemaking, typically by going down on you.

Z = ZZZ (How quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He doesn’t fall asleep immediately. Once your needs have been taken care of, ie you’ve got some water and a towel, he loves to curl up in your arms and lay on top of you, or spoon you. He actually loves to be held, and if you start running your fingers through his hair, he’ll be out like a light in no time.

[soltycheerios]

Vincent Volaju headcanons because there is none of that here >:| It’s hard to pinpoint him since he has such a deadpan reaction the entire movie, so I make due with what I see fit.

If he were to get mad, you’re done. You won’t even have time to piece it together. You’re just screwed. :) Luckily he mostly has such a docile demeanor.

He doesn’t give a shit about how he looks but occasionally he’ll shave...with his friggin knife. Life on the edge.

Sleeps for like 4 hours at best.

If he got drunk, there’d be no visible difference from him until you hear him slur about butterflies, otherwise, funnily enough, he just looks sober.

Probably would’ve liked chess if he’s played it. It’s quiet, like solitaire. Only problem is that he’s a lone wolf with nobody to play it with lol F.

Because of this comic, you can’t tell me that he hasn’t inflicted damage on himself by accident before. The buffoon.

Autumn is...an acceptable season, as he’d put it. I don’t imagine he’d care too much about what season passes by him, but Fall? This is fine.

[lil-tokyo-42]

Y'all...Y'ALL-

Why is nobody talking abt this lanky ass man's LEGS????

He seems like the type to randomly bounce his thigh while you're sitting on his lap and then laugh like a maniac from your reaction 😭

Like y'all would be chilling in the Bebop while Edward and Ein go off and run somewhere as he sits on one of the yellow chairs and you come up and sit on his lap.

He takes this as his chance to tease you a bit and as you get comfortable, you look up at him as his big silly grin shows up on his face. '𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐, 𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒌𝒆?"

And before you can react, he bounces his leg suddenly and looks at your flustered and shocked face as you we're blushing furiously. "𝙇𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙄 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙮𝙖, 𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙚~"

Now he's laughing hard as you hide your flushed face in his chest

LET'S BE HONEST WE'D ALL GET ON OUR KNEES FOR HIM-

[venushasvixens]

Imagine FaceTiming on a mission, everything is going completely wrong, the bounty may be lost…

And you see this gorgeous face.

[spike-and-faye]

Important and Correct Headcanons:

Spike has an Rx for Space Prozac but he never remembers to fill it. (This is actually a good thing bc you're not supposed to drink with anti-depressants.) Jet was prescribed antidepressants too but has some weird moral hang up on using them.

Faye could've prevented 9/11 because I fully believe she coulda snuck a gun onto a plane and wrested control from the terrorists. However upon seizing control of the cockpit she'd immediately crash into the island from Lost

Jet installed a bidet toilet seat on the head on the Bebop. His masculinity isn't threatened by having a spotless ass hole.

Spike is forklift certified

Faye had an IUD in during the accident and incidentally has had it in for 50+ years now

Ed stays the age 13 forever because of some weird future space tech.

Ein is Whitney's biological dog son who he abandoned. Kind of a Nina from FMA situation.

Andy has had full laser hair removal of his pubes, including his nads.

Julia has pierced nips

[sapphicgren]

Cowboy Bebop hand headcanons. I've seen this idea in other fandoms, but let's write down some ideas. For the bebop artists who follow me 👀

(tw for discussions of self harm)

Spike:

Ambidextrous, but favors right hand

Burn marks on backs of hands from having cigarettes stubbed out on him as a child

Hands are warm, grip is strong and steady. Need steady hands to shoot a gun straight!

Middle finger on left hand is slightly crooked due to being broken as a child in a fight and never set properly

Faye:

Left-handed

Hands pre-cryogenic freezing were warm like Spike's. Post-freezing, her hands are permanently cold due to cryogenic sleep's affect on her circulation

Nails always have a clear gloss on them and they're well-maintained. No broken nails ever!

Long, graceful fingers. Has the fingers of a concert pianist

Jet:

Right-handed, but was taught to shoot a gun with both hands in the police academy

Getting arthritis already, has a mole on left-hand

Hands are slightly clammy and cool at all times

Solid, boxer's hands. Scarring across knuckles from being split in many fights

Ed:

Ambidextrous, no preference

Hands are always dry and cracked, hates the sensation of moisturizer on hands

Double-jointed fingers, bites fingernails

Thin hands and wrists, hasn't built up any real muscle definition yet

Gren:

Right-handed, but comfortable with both due to years of playing musical instruments

Always in long-sleeves due to self-harm scars on forearms and wrists inflicted on himself while in prison

Long, nimble hands. Good reflexes from time in army

Fingernails are also shaped and maintained

Vicious:

Left-handed

Lots of scarring on hands, prominent chemical burn marks from punishment inflicted on him by the syndicate years ago

Nails are cut religiously short, the less of a mark he leaves on his victims, the better

Steady hands like Spike. Hands are surprisingly warm

character: spike spiegel reader: gender neutral summary: spike is sick. you realize the two of you have very different methods of dealing with that

★ spike spiegel does not get sick

★ that’s what he tells you as he wraps a blanket around himself and sniffles on the couch

★ he didn’t even bother getting dressed. couldn’t. not when he got up to do his morning workout and couldn’t make it past the bedroom door, already out of breath and muscles weak from the strain

★ he made it to the common room, but only just barely

★ despite his protests, you made him lemon tea. he preferred coffee, you knew, but this would work wonders for his throat

★ he sipped at it with a pout

★ the fridge needed restocking, so breakfast was instant ramen. you chose a kimchi flavored one to help with his sinuses—never mind the fact that he couldn’t handle even an ounce of heat

★ it was for his own good. he got out of bed when you told him not to

★ after his meal—after he gulped down the broth like his life depended on it and gasped for air a moment after—you sent him back to bed. whatever the future equivalent of vicks vaporub is was applied to his chest and upper lip, and he resisted the urge to immediately wipe it away

★ he was a bit of a brat, when he was sick. he whined and sought out comfort, all while stubbornly holding on to the claim that he wasn’t sick at all; a box of tissues down already and your hand forced into his hair, silently demanding you run your fingers through it

★ he reached for a box under his bed, one you’ve never seen before, but you confiscated the whole thing and forced into his hands a dose of store-bought medicine instead

★ “no,” he said. “i want my stuff. i don’t do well with drugs”

★ “this isn’t a drug,” you insisted. “spike, i’m giving you medicine”

★ he looked at you with all the sobriety someone with a fever could possibly muster. “all medicine are drugs”

★ eventually, you got him to down the dose and within minutes, he was snoring away

★ he didn’t wake up for the next twelve hours. you couldn’t help but feel a little bit bad about it

★ when you asked how he was feeling, he squinted and mumbled that he, admittedly, felt a little bit better, but not by much

★ he didn’t have much of an appetite, but after a bit of prodding, he managed to eat half a bowl of porridge

★ after that, you helped him into the shower

★ after about half an hour—about twenty minutes past his usual shower time—you came to check up on him

★ he was laying in the tub, water raining down on him, and he was positioned in such a way that you couldn’t quite tell if he was alive or not. the mumbled protest he gave after you shut off the faucet clued you in to the fact that he was trying to cool off

★ despite that, getting him back to bed was easy enough, the promise of a back rub sent him straight to his room, on his stomach, back presented to you

★ in the middle of it, he fell sleep but woke up immediately after you got up to leave

★ he didn’t want you to go. he agreed to another (lower) dose of medicine only if you read to him the book he had been slowly working through

★ he was asleep within seconds, but you couldn’t help but stay by his side for a little while longer. a kiss to his temple had him stirring, but he remained asleep

★ you smiled at him fondly. taking care of him was a full time job

Cowboy Bebop Characters X Reader Headcanons

(How affectionate they would be)

Spike Speigle

Affection isn't his favorite form of showing love. He usually likes to spend time with you even if you both are doing different things, as long as yall are in the same room, he is satisfied. Although, if you are super affectionate, he won't mind it at all. He will tease you a little but finds it cute.

NSFW

Handsy, strangely loves exploring your body and admiring it. He will beg you to stay and cuddle with him after.

Jet Black

Also, isn't that affectionate; I do have a feeling he would act very gentlemanly like. for example, he would hold your hand whenever walking you home. Again, he doesn't mind if you are affectionate.

NSFW

He isn't handsy, but he does like your touch. It is very soothing to him he will be pretty gentle and slow with you as well.

Faye Valentine

Affection isn't her first way of showing love. She would probably prefer a gift. I do think at first she might be a little surprised. However, she will get used to it after a while. Faye will expect it from you. I could see her getting sassy after if she didn't get enough from you.

NSFW

Faye will be the most affectionate during sex. She would like to run her hands through your hair and trace circles on your back. The odd and genuine affection for the situation would be relaxing.

Julia

Strangely, I think she would enjoy affection. She'll probably give simple and soft forms of it. She isn't super affectionate, but she would give gentle touches. Maybe a kiss on your cheek now and then, or hold onto your arm. She'll even mess with your hair if you put your head in her lap.

NSFW

Again, it's a very soft touch, but it'll be a lot more affectionate and very passionate. Although she can be rougher if you want her to be.

Vicious

At first, he will be confused and shocked when you do touch him. He rarely gets touched when he does. It's when he gets stabbed. I think he would feel threatened in the beginning. He might not feel like he deserves it as well. (Bitch got trauma). WITH ALL THAT SAID! I am begging you, please, give this man affection! He's so fucking touched starved and needs affection desperately. He will act like it doesn't affect him. But, if he is in love with you, and you touch him, I swear to god he will fucking melt in your arms. (If he isn't in love with you, he will shove you out of the way) Vicious would be afraid to do PDA, but if he feels jealous, he will have his hand somewhere on you.

NSFW

Try to tease him and see what happens. (Spoiler you wont walk for 3 years) It's not a very good idea when it comes to this man, Vicious can be very handsy, he's similar to Spike in that way, but it differs when it comes to the reason why. He is doing it to be possessive. Spike is doing it to just feel your body against his (you dont have a problem with that either).

[inkpot909]

I loved your one shot with Spike! He was soo pure with his feelings 😭Do you have any HC’s for when Spike realizes got a crush and he’s fallen in love with them?

A/n: Thank you so much for the lovely message; I’m glad you liked the one-shot! Spike Spiegel is one of my absolute favorite characters of all time, so I was more than happy to write this request for you. I hope you enjoy!

Warning(s): Swearing.

Falling in love overall brings out the best in Spike Spiegel. 

Having a special someone in his life gives him the extra kick in the ass he often needs to keep motivated. Not long after realizing his feelings, many aspects of his life become something done ‘for you.’

He works hard as a bounty hunter, earning money in order to have the ability to support the both of you and show off his successes (you’re just about the only member on the Bebop he willingly financially assists). Taking a more active role in caring for Ein was born purely from wanting to share the weight with you.

Now, don’t be mistaken, he’s still your lazy yet loveable Spike. But there’s added pride in what he does that wouldn’t be quite the same without you in the picture.

Spike does not shy away from flirting. It comes to him naturally, meaning he’ll flirt with you a good amount even before learning the extent of his feelings. He’s confident, has his fair share of romantic experiences, and is aware he’s the type to turn heads.

What mainly separates his treatment of you and his short-term relationships/hookups, is that he’s very reactionary. Spike deeply cares about you, so he’s going to take his time in studying your body language and responses to his flirts. He’s patient enough to put in the time, and persistent enough to put in the work.

He’ll adjust his actions according to your responses, especially if you’re shy and don’t favor getting teased in front of other people. His usual approach is quite forward, regardless of location or the people around. But if that makes you nervous, he’ll start off much more discrete. Discomforts such as those matter a lot to him, as what’s important to you is important to him. And ultimately, he hopes that you’ll return his interest. 

Not only that, but he’s a total showoff. From smoothly beating up a group of assholes, to lying about the amount of times he wins at card games with Jet. Even if you merely blush or smile, that’s good enough incentive for him. Jet once even felt the need to inform you it’s best to take what Spike tells you about his own skills with a grain of salt.

However, humor him and play along with the joke- he thinks it’s adorable. It boosts his ego, sure, but deep down he longs to know your opinion of him. Even if it’s tongue and cheek, it warms his heart to believe that you think so highly of him.

Before long, it’ll turn into a common conversation shared only between the two of you; especially when alone. It’s one of many inside jokes he’ll be sure to form with you.

Spike is also very protective. He wouldn’t ever describe himself as possessive, but he certainly likes keeping you within arms reach.

If you’re not a bounty hunter, he’s going to want to know where you are and how you’re doing quite often. Partially, he loves being your knight in shining armor, but it goes a bit deeper than that. The thought of not being able to keep you safe from his past or present… it eats away at his brain. 

But if you're a bounty hunter as well, or generally engage in a dangerous lifestyle like him, he’ll hold back just a bit. He knows you can hold your own in tough situations (undoubtedly a huge reason as to why he fell for you in the first place). He does have his moments, though, where letting you run off towards peril is done begrudgingly. It’s hypocritical of him, but he cannot stand whenever you leave the Bebop without telling him beforehand. Spike could care less if Faye or Jet know about where you rush off to; just be sure to let him know. He’ll grow sick with worry if you’re gone for days on end, and isn’t above lecturing you on your recklessness.  

Initially, it will admittedly take some time for him to realize how he feels about you. Especially if you meet after Julia’s unfortunate end, he’ll be closed off from his own emotions.

Regardless of that, he’s going to need a bit of a push. The life of a bounty hunter isn’t exactly a glamorous one, and he finds it difficult to deny his own hesitance over long-term relationships.

Luckily, the step he needs to take isn’t a large one. Just a moment of clarity; a skip of his heart beat. Full understanding of the warmth that builds within his chest every time you’re together practically comes at him with a steel chair. It was on an average afternoon, after having caught a decently-sized bounty:

With his chin held up, a cheeky whistle plays on Spike’s lips. Passers by give him a variety of strange looks, turned off by the tied-up man he’s practically dragging behind him. John Pilgrim was the name; a rowdy criminal with a shiny price tag attached to his person.

He tugs at his binds, letting out an obnoxious curse towards the bounty hunter. A mother walking by gives both him and Spike a disgusted look, covering her small child’s ears. Smiling casually, Spike gives her a nod and a pleasant “Howdy.”

Turning a corner, the Bebop is sitting just yards away. Ein’s excited barks quickly reach his ears; running circles around the ship's landing site. Ed is dancing around the chipper dog, cartwheeling and mimicking Ein’s yips. Jet is tinkering with Faye’s personal ship, a large frown on his face. You’re standing beside him, holding a bright red toolbox and observing his work in silent awe. 

Glancing at Ein, Jet raises a brow. Searching for the source of the dog’s glee, Jet is the first to notice Spike’s return. “Oi, Spike!” Jet calls out, immediately removing himself from Faye’s trashed ship. Ed stops cartwheeling, and your head perks up. 

“Spike!” you squeak. Your hands both clasp over your heart, dropping the toolbox on top of Jet’s foot.

“Yowch! Fuck!” the older man shouts, inhaling a sharp breath. His knee bends upward, hopping on one foot as he mumbles more curses and profanities underneath his breath. Ed erupts in laughter, pointing at Jet. As always, any mocking tone in Ed’s voice is totally unintentional. “Jet Black! Jet Black! Give him some slack!”

Spike stops walking towards the Bebop, sighing. Home sweet home. 

“Spike!” you call again. His eyes search for you, having lost track of you on top of the Bebop. He’s taken aback upon spotting you running towards him on ground-level. “You’re okay!” you pant, slowing to a stop in front of him before long. You clutch your stomach, having rushed yourself off the Bebop in mere seconds. 

“Whoa, whoa, of course I’m alright,” he chuckled, nodding towards his annoyed captive. “Got the job all done and everything.” 

“Well-...” you pause in order to take a breath, “You’d stopped responding to us. I figure that’s also why you don’t have your racer?” 

He nods, “Yeah; I’m sure Jet will be happy to repair it when he’s done cleaning up Faye’s mess.” 

You giggle, covering a hand over your mouth. Tilting your head to the side, you tell him earnestly, “I’m really so glad you’re safe… I was damn near ready to head out and look for you myself. Next time, tell us you’re abandoning your vehicle. Don’t get me so concerned! I worry about you, you know.” 

Spike’s eyebrows rise in unison, and both his hands release any tension. Now… that’s real interesting. ‘I worry about you…’ your words echo in his mind. Briefly, he recalls past missions. You always are the first to greet him whenever he returns. A bright smile is spread on your lips regardless of whether or not the bounty was caught. Even if the others are annoyed, it never halts your expressed happiness. You’ve even engulfed him in tight hugs before, so thankful that in your joy, you’ve damn near thrown yourself at him.

‘I worry about you…’ 

Heat rushes to Spike’s cheeks. In slow motion, he watches you race back towards the Bebop. You’re going off about how you’re going to “tell Faye you’re back safe and sound!” but the majority of what you say flies over his head. Your arms spread wide and chin tilts upwards. Inspecting your body language, Spike swallows a gulp of spit.

Why hadn’t you hugged him this time if you were so concerned? He wouldn’t oppose it. No, he wouldn’t. In fact, his heart pounds desperately against his ribcage just imagining you taking the opportunity. Your arms wrapped around him, head buried in the crook of his neck, and the both of you sharing each others’ warmth. Even if it lasts for a moment…

Turning back to him, your smile falls. “Spike!” you exclaim, frantically tripping over your own feet as you stumble into another run.

Chuckling, Spike closes his eyes. In dramatic fashion, he opens his arms for you to rush into. He ignores his flushing cheeks, and pushing through the possibility of Jet or Ed watching him act like some romantic gush. Instead, he braces himself for impact.

Running footsteps blitz right past him, leaving his arms empty, and a tiny gust of wind fanning his face. “Huh?” Spike blurts, turning. 

You’re running after John Pilgrim, wiggling away as discreetly as he can muster. He’s still bound up, but while Spike got lost in his thoughts, he’d slipped from the bounty hunter’s grasp with ease. You barely manage to keep up but with a single lunge forward, you tackle the man to the ground. He struggles against your grip, but you keep him pinned down, a feat made easier due to his restraints. “Spike!” you yell, “Why the hell did you let him go!?” 

“Shit!” Spike exclaims, jerking his body forward and chasing after you. 

After that day, Spike Spiegel no longer can define his feelings for you as anything other than affectionate and loving. It’s so clear to him at that point he’s nearly ashamed to have not understood before.

But being in such a state of mind allows hope to flood his heart, so he doesn’t get hung up on the fact. Instead, he immediately starts making up for lost time.
