Can I request headcanons for Remy, poly Wade, and Logan would think about his shy gender neutral s/o asking him to kiss his forehead in hopes that he would feel loved like they do whenever they receive one from him please?
Remy LeBeau (Gambit):
- Remy is a natural flirt and charmer, so when his shy S/O asks for a forehead kiss, he can’t help but tease them a little, a playful smirk spreading across his lips. He loves how bashful they get when they ask for something so sweet and intimate.
- Despite the teasing, Remy is all about making his S/O feel loved and cherished. He’ll lean in slowly, letting the anticipation build before pressing a soft, lingering kiss to their forehead. He’s careful to make it as tender and meaningful as possible, knowing that this small gesture means the world to them.
- After kissing their forehead, he’ll pull them close, murmuring in his Cajun drawl about how much he adores them. He might even throw in a few words in French, just to see them blush even more. Remy’s all about making sure his S/O knows they’re loved and that their happiness is his priority.
Wade Wilson (Deadpool):
- Wade would be absolutely thrilled that his S/O wants something so sweet and wholesome from him. He’s all about grand gestures, so what starts as a simple request for a forehead kiss turns into an exaggerated, over-the-top display of affection. He might even make a dramatic speech about how honored he is to bestow such a kiss upon their “royal forehead.”
- Despite his usual antics, Wade has a soft spot for his S/O, especially when they’re vulnerable. When he actually gives them the forehead kiss, he does it with surprising gentleness, his usual wild energy dialed back. He knows how much it means to them, and in that moment, he wants them to feel every ounce of his love and care.
- After the kiss, Wade would probably make a joke to lighten the mood, maybe something ridiculous like, “Did that kiss level up your self-esteem stat? Because it should be at least a +10 now!” But beneath the humor, he’s deeply touched that they trust him enough to ask for something so intimate, and he’s determined to give them all the love they deserve.
Logan (Wolverine):
- Logan isn’t used to being asked for affection, especially something as gentle as a forehead kiss. When his shy S/O makes the request, it takes him by surprise, but in a good way. There’s a softening in his normally gruff demeanor, a hint of vulnerability that he only shows to the people he truly cares about.
- Logan has a tough exterior, but when it comes to his S/O, he’s incredibly protective and gentle. He’d nod gruffly, his expression softening as he leans in to press a warm, firm kiss to their forehead. It’s a quiet, intimate gesture, and he makes sure they feel every bit of the love and care he has for them in that single moment.
- After the kiss, Logan might not say much—words aren’t his strong suit—but he’ll linger close, letting his presence speak for him. Maybe he’ll give them a small, reassuring squeeze or pull them into a comforting embrace. He wants them to know that they’re loved, that he’s always there for them, even if he doesn’t always know how to express it in words.

So... How about Laios x a dragonkin reader? (Specifically an ice dragon, they just look so fluffy!!)
I can imagine having sections of her body covered in soft feathers! Something like Falin at the end of the manga. I also think her body runs on the colder side of things, you know? For one reason she's partially covered in feathers. So I imagine her being quite affectionate, the warmth that others radiate is just something she can't deny!
I can picture Laios basically vibrating with excitement as he asks questions about her and her body, and, can you llame him? Come on! She is half dragon! How could he pass up this opportunity!?
And before any of the party (Marcille) can stop him or say something, she accepts perhaps too calmly (I can hear the "HUH?" from Marcille rn)
Laios' enthusiasm is like that of a child at Christmas as he asks questions and lets his hands explore his feather-covered wings. He compares and looks for the less noticeable differences between her and a real dragon, measuring her saw-sharp teeth and making comments without any shame, while reader just sits, answering the questions that she can answer, looking happier than she should.
`✦ ˑ ִֶ 𓂃⊹ WAHHH THIS IS SUCH A CUTE REQUEST and i hope i did it justice!!! i did some headcanons but writing a piece for this one day would be sooo fun!! i hope this is close to what you were thinking!!!!
Tumblr media
— LAIOS x ice dragonkin!reader.
꒰ rating: ꒱ sfw fluff! gn!reader.
꒰ wc: ꒱ 365
✦ i’m fighting off allergies and brainfog so i apologize if this is incoherent at all, lol. if you’d like a drabble, feel free to submit something again and i’d love to do another dragonkin!reader piece for you!! hope you enjoy! <3
Tumblr media
✦ Laios is instantly drawn to you. This isn’t surprising considering his fascination with monsters, but it doesn’t help that you’re cute, too. Don’t even get him started on how sweet you look with all those feathers. And if you let him run his fingers through them, you’d see his face light up so brightly with delight!
✦ You aren’t naturally very warm, so you’ve found yourself sneaking into Laios’ bedroll and nuzzling into his side. Laios doesn’t mind this at all, and even encourages you to take all the warmth from him you need. (As long as you answer some of his ramblings!)
✦ Laios is extremely excited when you first meet, eyes filled with wonder and chest giddy with curiosity. Expect him to start babbling out questions and watching you closely. “Wow… Look at those feathers!” or “Is it okay if I touch your wings?” will definitely be said a bit too loudly as he’s basically vibrating on the spot. Before Marcille can reel him back in, to her bewilderment you give a sweet nod and a calming smile. (I think she just about falls over from that.)
✦ When he finally does get to feel your wings under his palms, he’s so enchanted he could implode. This was an opportunity he may never get again, so best believe he’s going to take full advantage of it!
✦ “So this is different from others I’ve seen. Interesting…” he mumbles to himself. “Can I see how sharp your teeth are?” You hum, opening your mouth to bare your fangs and he’s taking and comparing notes in that head of his.
✦ You’re probably a bit too happy to be dealing with something like this. The others wonder if and when your patience for his questions will run out, but they watch as you beam right back at him. (And there he goes, enamored by your fangs again.)
✦ Laios is very determined to make sure your needs are met. Is what you’re eating fitting to your natural diet? Are your wings in need of stretching? Are you able to get enough warmth? It honestly makes you giggle a bit. You’ve never had someone so interested in your wellbeing. It feels nice.

If your still taking requests could u pls do “if you were taken by an unsub” criminal minds imagin? Or smth along those lines, if not that’s fine tho
~ ☘️
(BAU Headcanons) If you were taken by an Unsub
A/N: Um, of course you can?! Thanks for sending this one in angel 😇 I'm only sorry it's taken me this long to answer this. Hope you like it!
Warnings: Usual Criminal Minds references to criminals, murder, violence etc. Mentions of mental health. (Let me know if I missed any)
Tumblr media
Aaron Hotchner
Tumblr media
If you were taken? This man would not rest until you were back and safe with him - and not just because of what happened to Haley (though it doesn’t help). 
He would bark orders at everyone in a cold and blunt manner that tells them he is not in the mood to be messed with.
They will do as they are told and they will do it now. 
This poor man would be fighting not to let his fear show but he'd be seen clenching his fists over and over and taking long deep breaths in front of the mirror in the bathroom in an attempt to ground himself and get his head on straight. 
He's no good to you if he lets himself fall apart. His team - and more importantly, you - are counting on him.
You know he’s blaming himself and you’re both going to need therapy once this whole experience is over with. 
He would go into his hyper-rational mode, focusing on making plans and ignoring anything that isn’t getting you back safe and sound - which means no sleep. None. He’s running on fumes and caffeine - even after you’re found. 
It would take days for him to feel secure enough to close his eyes and be able to trust you’ll still be there when he opens them again. 
Also you best believe he is breaking out his old law text books and ensuring this UnSub goes down for a lonnnnnng time… if they even make it to trial that is. This man is a trained sniper and knows other trained snipers… just saying… 
Tumblr media
David Rossi 
Tumblr media
He may like to remind you all of his passionate Italian nature from time to time but it’s impossible to miss when he hears what’s happened to you. He’s an emotional mess, staggering between horror and rage to a frighteningly cold determination that is rare for the eldest team member.  
He’d try to act in control, pulling rank on everyone - including Hotch, which obviously doesn’t work. 
“No offence, Aaron, but I was chasing down Unsubs when you were still in diapers. I know what I’m doing.”
However, they know him well enough to see that despite having years of experience under his belt, Rossi is terrified of making some kind of mistake. 
Once they do find you, he’d be one of the first through the door, too concerned with checking you’re ok to worry about anything else. 
He’d also be sure to pay for the best medical care money could buy, if you needed it following the ordeal.
He also knows people and has no problem paying for you to see a counsellor of some sort if the situation required it. He just wants to take care of you now that you’re back in his arms again. 
Tumblr media
Derek Morgan
Tumblr media
This man is like a whole military unit in himself at the best of times, but he’s a whole other level of lethal when it comes to protecting the ones he loves. You do NOT want to be on the wrong side of Morgan, and that’s exactly where the Unsub who took you would sit. 
There isn’t a door he wouldn’t be willing to kick down to get you - and everybody knows better than to say a word about it. (Hotch is already mentally filling out all the paperwork he’s going to need once this rescue is done, but he doesn’t exactly mind, given the situation).
Also, Morgan may have trained you himself, drilling you in self-defence and marksmanship so you’d known how to protect yourself out there in the field, but none of that matters now. You may have the Unsub at your mercy already, or you may be at theirs, but he doesn’t know and that’s what’s killing him: the not knowing. 
It’s why Penelope is basically glued to his side the whole entire time, telling him everything she finds out the very second she finds it.  
“We’ll find them sugar, I promise. They’re just as tough and strong as you are, so don’t give up on them, ok?”
He’d be leading the pack once you are found though, tearing through anyone and anything that stood in his way. All he cares about is seeing you with his own eyes and getting you as far away from danger as possible. 
“I’m so sorry, baby. It’s my job to keep you safe and I failed you.”
He’d be beating himself up for weeks after and it would take an entire team intervention to get him to let you go back out into the field again without him being glued to your side. After all, he’s not making the same mistake twice. Any Unsub wants that wants to get close to you will have to get past him first. 
Tumblr media
Emily Prentiss
Tumblr media
This woman is a super spy and a lethal weapon on an average day but if you were taken? Then she would be the most dangerous woman in the entire United States. 
She knows people in every agency and on every continent so you best believe she will be calling in favours left, right and centre. (Even Rossi is terrified by how quickly she was able to get the Pentagon on the phone…)
She would also be action-focused, needing to do something rather than sitting around wasting time. Every minute spent talking was one more minute the Unsub had to hurt you - and that thought makes her feel physically sick. 
This would end up causing her to explode, taking it out on whichever unfortunate soul is closest. Like, you know she would definitely have to be reminded by Hotch that they actually need the local law enforcement to work with them, if they want to get you back alive, after she is seen screaming at an unfortunate officer for their ‘utter stupidity’. 
Thankfully, she gets to turn that rage on the Unsub after they find you. I mean, let’s be real. It would take Morgan physically holding her back to stop her from beating their face in. 
This frustration would ultimately then be transferred to you, once she knows you’re safe. 
You almost can quote her ‘You almost died’ speech by this point, but you know it makes you both feel better to hear it so you let her rant and rant until she’s calm enough to crawl into your arms and squeeze you close. 
“I love you so much. I can’t lose you.” 
You’re also pretty sure she now has people following you at all times, watching over you when she can’t, so that this never happens again. 
Tumblr media
JJ
Tumblr media
JJ is every bit as lethal as Emily is when those she loves are at risk. If anything, she’s more terrifying because she’ll hide that murderous rage behind a ‘butter-wouldn’t-melt’ smile before deciding to strike. 
However, it would take everything in her not to just charge in and go on the offensive. After all, she was willing to run into a bank full of armed robbers after Will. 
It would probably end up with the team having to physically holding her back to stop her - usually accompanied by a well meaning pep talk about how she needs to get her head on straight if she actually wants to help get you back. 
You know this woman would follow you everywhere afterwards, never letting you out of her sight. In fact, she hits ‘super Mom mode’ where she is constantly fussing over you and seems to have the world in her go-bag. 
You need tissues, pain-killers, chocolate: she got it.
“Hey, it’s ok. You know I’ve got your back, right? I won’t let anything else happen to you. You’re safe now.”
She would also call you out on all your BS, if you tried to downplay what happened to you or if you were still affected. 
One twitch of her eyebrow is all it takes for her to have you pinned to your chair and spilling your guts about your emotions. You know better than to make her ask twice. After all, she may be the first to downplay it when she’s hurting but when it comes to her team and her family, she’d do anything to take care of you. If that’s driving your ass to therapy or just holding you, she’ll do it without complaint.
Tumblr media
Penelope Garcia 
Tumblr media
Would immediately panic as soon as she hears what’s happened to you. Like, we’re talking SO much panic.
Poor girl is spiralling and needs the team to help ground her so she can get back to the lair and do her thing. It would probably be down to Morgan or like JJ to get her to actually remember to breathe and not make herself pass out. 
But once she’s up and running? Well, she’d be all over the Unsub like a bad rash. Every teeny tiny detail of their life is suddenly unearthed and splashed on the 
board for everyone to see. (No one dares ask how she found certain items, but knowing her history with the dark web it’s probably for the best). 
Also, she would be begging for constant updates once the team is out in the field.  Any other day, it would drive the team insane to have a constant running Penelope monologue in their ears, but they’re surprisingly tolerant in this case. 
“Guys, do you see them? Are they ok? What’s going on? I need to know people! I have no eyes here!” 
Would be all over you once you’re safe and insists on installing tracking software on everything. She wants a digital link to you, 24/7 so that this NEVER happens again. It’s simultaneously flattering and slightly terrifying how much power this angel has at the end of her glittery, manicured fingers. 
Tumblr media
Dr Spencer Reid
Tumblr media
Depending on which season-Reid you’re with when you’re taken, you would have a distraught super genius who makes it his life’s mission to get you back. Or, you’d have a prison-hardened super genius with a slightly grey-er view of the world on a mission to find you. 
Either way, there’s probably no one you’d want more to be in charge of locating and rescuing you. 
Like Hotch, I feel he would become obsessed with nothing other than finding you. He wouldn’t eat. He wouldn’t sleep. Hell, no one on the team has even seen him leave the briefing room long enough to go pee, let alone take a break. This results in the team all taking it in turns to be parental figures and coax (and eventually threaten) him into pausing long enough to down a glass of water and eat some snack bar. 
Between Morgan’s physical threats, JJ’s guilt-trips, and Hotch threatening to bench him from this case, they’d eventually succeed. 
“You guys don’t get it. They need me. I have to figure this out - they’re counting on me. I can’t fail them. I won’t. So either help me or get out of here and let me think.”
We all know he would probably harass any medical professionals charged with caring for you, once you’re back. He doesn’t trust them - especially when it comes to your welfare. 
He’d also confine you to the couch and force you to rest, queueing up endless re-runs of Doctor Who and whatever shows you find most comforting to have playing in the background. It’s selfishly what he needs too, being able to sit and hold you long enough to quell any fears he may have about you and your wellbeing. You’re here and you’re real and you’re safe.

Saw this demon slayer fic where the reader dances while they fight, i found it a cool fighting style and it would be rlly nice if u wrote yan hashiras x a reader like that :3
I decided to go back to doing headcanons quickly (as compared to oneshots) so I skipped ahead to the first hcs on the list.
And that sounds really cool! My little sister is a dancer! She does competitions and stuff- she’s absolutely amazing and will be auditioning for a pro studio in a few months! I’m so proud of her. 
Me though? I’m ungraceful as fuck and have a bad knee.
WARNINGS: yandere themes, mostly fluffiness 
Tumblr media
Tomioka Giyu
Tomioka’s face gives away none of the amazement he feels watching you fight for the first time.
He wants to get to know you better, but he’s awkward by nature and doesn’t like talking much, so he struggles to do so.
Master Ubuyashiki can tell his little Giyu has a crush, so he often pairs you both up on missions, hoping you’ll give him a chance, not realizing how dark Tomioka’s love really is.
Thankfully, despite his obsessiveness, Tomioka is more of a watcher (and stalker). He would never hurt you.
He just wants to watch you dance until the end of time.
Tumblr media
Tokito Muichiro
Tokito is another calm yandere that isn’t easily impressed. But even when seeing your dance moves, he’s not blown away.
However, he does think your dancing is quite pretty and finds himself thinking about it even outside of battle, which is confusing to him.
He can’t figure out why you keep appearing in his dreams and it frustrates him a lot at first.
But then, he’s sitting there under the full moon, watching you twirl and leap as you practice fighting against the butterfly hashira, and he understands.
He’s fallen in love with you.
Tumblr media
Rengoku Kyojuro
Rengoku, on the other hand, is very impressed and tells you so!
He’s very vocal about how much he loves your fighting style, and you enjoy showing off for him.
He doesn’t like fighting against you, because he’d much rather sit back and watch instead of try to overpower you. 
You’ve beat him several times in practice, and it only causes his respect (and love) to grow.
Anyone who thinks you’re just a pretty ballerina has another thing coming when you pull out your sword, and he knows that first hand.
He likes watching you so much that he’s asked you to dance for him, and he applauds very loudly and enthusiastically when you’re done.
Tumblr media
Tengen Uzui
You’re a flashy person like he is, and he respects that!
Your dance moves are cutting-edge, quite literally, with a spin of hip-hop in with the ballet. It’s a unique style and he loves it!
He invites you on his missions, even if he could easily do it alone, simply because you’re the only human on earth that can match his level of flashiness.
He loves to fight alongside you, trying to make his moves as graceful as yours can be.
He finds himself researching dance more, so he can choreograph his battle moves too.
He feels all warm inside when you compliment his attempts at dancing, even though he’s kind of clunky and awkward at it with his big figure.
Tumblr media
Iguru Obanai
Iguru will, of course, tell you that it might not be possible to always dance during a battle.
He also complains that you’re using too much stamina with your moves.
But secretly, he really loves watching, and he’s just very worried about you.
He gives you pointe shoes in your favorite color as a gift, and you wear them with your uniform.
He’s very proud that you like them and blushes when you hug him, telling him that they’re the perfect gift.
Tumblr media
Shinazugawa Sanemi
Shinazugawa will never tell you that he thinks your hip-hop dance moves are badass.
But he does. He really, really does.
He sometimes puts you down, implying that being a dancer is weak and stuff like that.
But when you knock him on his butt in sparring practice, that shuts him up pretty quickly.
He finds himself actually competing with you a lot, determined to prove he’s better than some “dancy-pants”. But you always perform better than him.
The two of you are always butting heads, so you’re not paired together very often. But when you are, you don’t end up working well together.
He develops a crush without realizing it and it just ends up making him even angrier.
But the moment he sees you in danger, he’s ripping the demon limb-from-limb.
Tumblr media
Himejima Gyomei
The first time you dance, you move him to tears. He’s never seen anyone or anything so beautiful.
You find it funny that your pirouetting can literally make someone cry, but you’re gentle with the tearful hashira, telling him you’re honored he likes your ballet so much.
The two of you end up being friends, with him quietly enjoying your dancing and battle practice.
You end up being on a lot of missions together since, despite the difference in your abilities, you fight well together.
He loves you so deeply and is extremely protective of you, so the others are intimidated away by the gentle giant, leaving him as your only friend

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
How Ace and Deuce Fantasise About Their Crush, The Prefect
Reader/Yuu is female
Masterlist
Ace Trappola
Deuce is his biggest rival so usually his fantasies involve you choosing him over his fellow Heartslabyul first year
Usually he would be goofing off ‘studying or doing homework’ and his thoughts would inevitably turn to you and he gets hit  with the visual of your beaming smile and shimmering eyes lighting up in adoration as you praise him over his marks on a test like “Wow Ace! I can’t believe you got all of this right - you’re so much smarter and stronger and more handsome and better than Deuce in every way!” and he’d be filled with determination to actually study so you would kiss praise him
Sometimes he would daydream about you wearing his basketball jersey to one of his matches and cheering him on (which you do already anyway - the cheering, not the jersey wearing) and during a tense sports anime worthy match with fast action and slow motion and reaction cuts where your gazing at him admiringly (this boy is literally filming an episode of Haikyuu in his mind) and the scores are neck and neck and he’s about to throw the winning shot and he looks at you winks and is like “this one’s for you” and gets it in, single handedly winning the game and his teammates are freaking out and everyone on the stands are cheering his name and he’s handed the trophy as he’s lifted onto his seniors' shoulders and then you’re there (abandoning Deuce and Grim at the stands) and you congratulate him and you’re kissing him and he’s woken up 🙁
He’s the type of guy to daydream about you in a cheerleading outfit, waving around pom poms and cheering him on - not in a creepy, weird way but more in a cute, endearing way
During the Ghost Bride incident™, you were dressed in a wedding dress to match with all of the suitors’ groom suits and his mind did an application.exe has stopped working before rebooting and immediately got flooded with visuals of you and him getting married
Since he did punch Riddle on the reader’s behalf and flip out at Malleus over Malleus’ completely harmless ‘prank’ during the Spectral Soiree (real king behaviour, what a man *wipes tear*), he does feel protective over them so I think he’d these fantasies where he’s protecting you from danger and bridal carrying you away and you’re swooning over him like ‘my hero ♡’ and peck his cheek
He really does like writing Ace x Reader fanfic in his head, doesn’t he?
I think many of his daydreams would be more ‘what-if’ scenarios where he would lay awake in bed at night, the lights are off and his dormmates are dozing off on their own beds around him, and his mind wanders into how the events of the day would’ve played off if he actually did have the courage to act on his own desires, if he actually did admit he found your smile beautiful during lunchtime, if he actually did hold your hand on your way to class, if he actually did confess his feelings…
If the legends of old are true and that whatever you wish for, you keep, he really really hopes that he gets to keep you
Deuce Spade
It’s canon that he’s a romantic since he has an admiration for the King and Queen of Hearts’ relationship so his fantasies are very reminiscent of classical romances
I headcanon that his mother loves romantic movies and shows (both period and modern) and he loves to watch them with her (he prefers period films/shows over modern ones since he’s been a sucker for fairy tales since he was five)
Even though his fantasies of you are super innocent, he still feels super guilty over having them over his best friend. He thinks it’s wrong to think of kissing someone so kind and sweet when they only see him as a friend and he kind of hates himself for not hating the visions his mind cooks up.
He’s very protective in nature so his daydreams usually feature him saving you à la traditional fairy tale or classic silver screen damsel in distress and her dashing hero or knight in shining armour (not because he sees you as a damsel in distress - you don’t just fight off overblots and live in Twisted Wonderland without being the strongest person ever in his eyes - but because he likes the idea of being strong enough to protect you from danger or you knowing that you can always rely on him to protect you). This, though, also kind of stems from his inner guilt at not being able to save you from the harm you’ve already undergone.
He likes to imagine the two of you stargazing, your figures draped in moonlight as you kiss each other, or the two of you on a white marble balcony, surrounded by doves and baby pink blossoms falling from the trees around you, or the two of you dancing in a ballroom, or kissing in the rain, or giving you piggybacks, or picking you up and twirling you around as you laugh in pure joy, or giving you his jackets or every other cliche he wants and yearns so badly to have with you
Sometimes when he does something good like finish his dorm chores or come first in track club he imagines your voice cheering him on like ‘I knew you could do it, Deuce’ 
He loves it when his daydreams get domestic. His favourite one is when imaginary you and imaginary him are in a chicken coop, surrounded by baby chicks.
Whilst his fantasies are very idyllic and so flowery they could put a florist out of business, he does like the ones that tap into his past as a bad boy where he takes you joyriding on his magical wheel, your arms wrapped around his torso and head resting between his shoulder blades, or he impresses you with his mechanical skills as he fixes a car, or your patching him up after a fight (a fight that happened because imaginary you was being harassed by gang of goons and he came in and saved the day like an action hero)
When he was a stargazer, you were the one who earnestly gave your full support in his dreams and your belief that all of his wishes will inevitably be granted so would you mind terribly if he told you his hearts’ greatest desire

I NEED to know HCs on introducing them to your family for the holidays
Bring the drama.
*insert gif of that guy in The Office staring through the blinds, staring mincingly.*
↳˳❝ bringing the mk1 cast to meet the family₊˚ˑ༄ؘ
headcanons w/ liu kang, kung lao, raiden, johnny cage, kenshi, tomas vrbada, bi-han, kuai liang, reiko, & shang tsung
a/n: not even going to lie, this was very difficult for me to do for some reason. Maybe it's because of my writer's block, but I tried lovely anon, I hope you like it 🥺🫶🏼
Tumblr media
Liu Kang ➤ He's not worried at all. He's really composed and knows exactly what to say and do to make sure he makes a great first impression. When you introduced Liu to your parents, they were stunned by how well-mannered he was especially with the tattoos that covered his arms. He gave them compliments, buttering them up and winning them over easily.
"My, he is so lovely! When will we being getting grandkids?" Your mother asked.
You awkwardly laughed hissing at her to be quiet and Liu Kang smiled lovingly as he watched you and your family bicker. He was definitely given the nod of approval from your father.
Kung Lao ➤ Kung Lao was very prideful and boasted about how much he would cherish and love you. To say your parents were a bit skeptical at first, overtime they realized how much you brightened up whenever Kung Lao would talk to you. He was also very respectful to your parents, treating them as if he would any elder, just like Madam Bo. However, I feel as if Kung Lao would have beef with y/n's brother if they have one.
"You're my sibling's boyfriend? I thought you'd be better?" Your brother would tease with a shit-eating grin.
And thus, the rivalry between your lover and brother began. Of course it wasn't too serious, they'd often challenge each other in a lot of things and Kung Lao rather liked the competition.
Raiden ➤ He definitely bought flowers and chocolates for them. His hand squeezing yours as you two arrived at the house. Raiden was definitely nervous, but he tried his best to ensure his first impression went well. Your mother thought he was the sweetest man ever as he helped you and your mother cook for dinner, but your father on the other hand was not impressed. He believed Raiden was too kind and wasn't enough to be beside a person like you. Although, it did not affect Raiden at all, he was determined to prove himself to your father that he was capable of protecting you. Eventually your father realized he could protect you (knowing he could fight), but he was baffled by how innocent Raiden looked.
Bi-Han ➤ Your parents were beyond stunned by how TOO well-mannered the man was. Bi-Han is very independent and proved that he could handle himself, but with his professionalism and blunt emotions, your parents came to worry that he lacked a bit of personality and even questioned how you managed to get someone so strict in nature. However, Bi-Han, deep down inside, did worry about his impression on your parents. They were YOUR parents after all. His lover's, his life. Even so, it would take time for your parents and Bi-Han to warm up to each other, both ends trying just for your sake.
Kuai Liang ➤ Um excuse me. They want grandkids already. He was a perfect spitting image of a great husband. Your mother and father were so pleased with his looks, personality, and ideologies. Your father was so proud. Both Kuai and your father giving each other a firm handshake of approval and admiration. Kuai Liang had no issues with your family at all, it was as if he was already a part of it and he never felt more happier.
When you two finally had some time alone, he hugged you from behind, kissing the nape of your neck. "They're lovely, your family." He says.
You lean back into him with a satisfied smile. "I know. . .they think you are too, my love."
Tomas Vrbada ➤ Tomas felt uneasy about the whole thing. He was nervous, especially due to his past and the vast difference of his childhood compared to yours. Your parents, however, were in awe by how pretty he was, his grey hair and pearlescent eyes were just unique to them. They even thought he was very sweet. Tomas did his very best to gain your parents approval and luckily, they thought he was good for you.
Tomas couldn't help, but smile, his arm pulling you into his side. "This is a lot different from what I expected." He'd say, kissing the top of your head. "But I'm glad to have finally met them."
Johnny Cage ➤ Firstly, there really was no need for an introduction. After all he was THE Johnny Cage. They were glad that you would be taken care of financially, however, there was skepticism when it came to his flamboyant and cocky attitude. They feared Johnny would break you heart and cheat on you like many terrible celebrities'.
But what you didn't expect was Johnny to become serious during dinner, raising his glass for a toast. "Mr and Mrs (L/n), trust me when I say I will love them and cherish them with everything I have. . .and every step of the way." Johnny told them with full sincerity. He then looked to you with a gaze filled with nothing but love
It was a bit shocking for you, seeing Johnny be serious for once. He just vowed he'd be there for you every step of the way and that made your parents feel better about him, small smiles reaching their features. As for you, you became even more enamored with the man.
Kenshi Takahashi ➤ Of course, they were happy to see how well-mannered Kenshi was. He demonstrated a great attitude, but when they found out about his yakuza past, their trust drastically dropped. They worried you'd get caught up in things that could potentially lead to your death. But after awhile, when Kenshi became an FBI agent, they were grateful for the change. Unfortunately, your parents still held concerns.
"Your lover having a job like that, how will he be around to take care of you?"
Kenshi was saddened upon hearing this but it did not stop him from loving you. He promised he would not abandon you, his arms wrapped tightly around you the night you told him.
Shang Tsung ➤ Shang was surprisingly very respectful and gained your parents trust fast. He would charm them over easily with his cunning use of words as he drank wine with your parents at the table. It was a wonderful night of just talking about each other's interests and goals, Shang obviously hiding his true words with fake but impressive cover-ups. And if y/n has little siblings, Shang would mess with them, pranking them randomly on purpose just for shits and giggles.
In the end your mother went to you, her hands grabbing yours. "He is a lovely man, I think he looks a bit fruity. But whatever makes you happy my sweet child."
"Mother?!"
Reiko ➤ An immediate dislike for them. Your mother was beyond worried, perceiving him as dangerous and thinking he'd be the type to harm you. But you had reassured her that he was nothing from the sort and was rather really passionate about his love for you. But Reiko and your father developed a pissing contest on who could provide more protection over you. And your father does not like Reiko's disregard of seniority as he only held loyalty to General Shao. However, in Reiko's point of view, he believed he was demonstrating strength by challenging your father. Additionally, Reiko would boast about how perfect you are for him and accidentally making it come off as if your were his trophy spouse, making your father and mother dislike him even more. Your father ESPECIALLY.
" I think that went well!" Reiko says with a proud grin.
You pat the side of his arm awkwardly. "Reiko, babe. . .let's talk."

I'm still excited that you made this request, anon bc this duo has been making eyes at me these days. I thought about kisakixhanmaxfem!reader. I'm so sorry for the wait!! I hope u like it, nd enjoy it!

#pov: friendship headcanons with Kisaki and Hanma (platonic/love interest)
★ warnings: fem!reader, realistic hc, fluff, funny, friendship, love interest, established relationship, platonic facts, school mention
→ a/n: H&K = Hanma and Kisaki
Tumblr media
—friendship (+ platonic facts)!
The three go and return together wherever they go, both boys coming to pick you up at the entrance of your house and leaving you at the same even when classes are over! This pair makes sure you're in one piece by the end of the day.
The races to determine the unnecessary speed between you are never lacking. A few meters to enter the school, Hanma challenges them to a race to see who gets there first and you accept, and as always you do the countdown.
"Alright! in your marks, read-.. HUH?!
And before you know it Hanma took the dirty lead by shooting out first, taking the lead and leaving you biting the dust
"STOP, STUPID CHEATER!"
You run in search of him screaming complaints between laughs trying to reach him while Kisaki just keeps walking at his pace like the normal person he is, catching up with them minutes later.
At least three times a month they attend karaoke together. They try to use all the power of friendship possible to convince Kisaki to go together, trying not to upset him with his nonsense the previous days. After two attempts, the blonde accepts, renting the most minimal time rate they have to stop listening to the stormy concerts that you and Hanma give it.
It's natural for Hanma to bother you every day, almost as if that's his mission in this life. Sometimes it makes you very angry, is Kisaki who intervenes asking to stop. But once both stoics made you cry out of pure rage so you stopped talking to them for a whole week. They both spent that time following you around in silence and apologizing by buying your favorite sweets.
Hanma accompanies you to almost any nonsense you can think of, until it puts the three of them in a bad position. The bicolor loves the adrenaline rush, but if he feels that his asses can end up in difficult problems to handle he absolutely aborts the mission.
H&K are your protectors. Whether with intimidating looks/postures or verbal threats, both guys make it clear to everyone that you are their best friend and they can't try any moves on you. Yes, that's the way they are.
That's why Valentine's Days were really sad for you because, for some alien reason, you didn't receive any gifts or letters that day. Much less declarations of love or anonymous confessions. NOTHING. And the reason is that in reality, H&K were furtively responsible for eliminating (not literally) anyone who tried to make any move on you regarding the date, the two allying themselves to scare away and intimidate.
"I'm sorry, brat" explains the bicolor blocking the way to the classroom to the boy one grade below you "this girl is already busy"
"B-but I-"
"And don't try anything behind our backs, or you won't want to regret it later," Kisaki muttered, making the poor trembling boy pass out loud saliva when he clattered his knuckles noisily.
This is how your two best friends were always there to comfort you and fill that void of the day with walks or gifts only from them.
The three of them would run away from classes, but only when they are extremely bored of listening to the teacher.
H&K care a lot about your health, even if it doesn't seem like it. They offer you water or some nutritious drink, buy you breakfast and even make sure that you don't consume a lot of fried foods or sweets.
Their jobs are close to each other, so it's easy for the three of them to meet at a specific place and then stop by for a drink or just walk home.
—(+) platonic facts!
The first time H&K saw you wearing a swimsuit for a beach meet-up that you organized with your friends, they gasped. Kisaki felt that her face would explode because of how good your body looked while Hanma quickly glanced at you every time you passed by him.
H&K are the kind of guy in love who contemplates you at every opportunity he can. Kisaki by his observant and discreet nature manages to spy without being seen by anyone while Hanma does it blatantly without caring if it's very obvious or not. You actually caught him once seeing you, and his reaction was to let out a little giggle and look away when he realized that you caught him. You could notice the soft blush on his cheeks.
They enjoy taking pictures of you doing random things. Especially Hanma (he has a whole album of you and kisaki on his phone), and only occasionally Kisaki warns for a good take.
"Take out your phone, Shuji"
"Huh? And for what the hell-?"
"Look over there, is y/n"
Kisaki points at you covertly, and the two-tone nods, catching his friend's intention as he quickly pulled out his phone. Seconds later the flash does its job. They both smile seeing you captured on the screen.
"Good angle" celebrates the blonde "very cute.."
"Yea' she looks fcking beautiful"
Yes, whether it's taking you or going to pick you up, taking a walk to the park for a while and things like that, at first H&K keep track of which one of the two has to share time with you. That's why it's not uncommon for you to feel that they take turns.
Kisaki would leave you a lot of small gifts throughout the week anonymously because he is embarrassed to deliver them to you in person. At first you thought it could be a stalker with ninja skills because you couldn't catch him in the act, but soon (and in the dumbest way) you found out it was the blond one (I have a little pov for this hc, I'll upload it after this!)
—love interest!
Hanma calls you "baby" most of the time, and would use adorable nicknames like "babydoll" or "fcking princess" just to annoy you. I'm not sure with Kisaki, I think "honey" might work for him. But both of them, without a doubt, call you "darling" a lot of the time.
Hanma, unlike Kisaki, is more concerned about your feminine needs. I feel like he has a sharper sense for that kind of thing. On the other hand, you can safely entrust the financial part to Kisaki because that man will cover all your whims.
Maximum princess treatment with some moments of rough love (the latter courtesy of Shuji Hanma). They like to pamper and pamper you a lot, just allow yourself to enjoy it.
On dates YES OR YES the three of you go together. And the one who is usually planning spontaneous outings is Hanma. For more important events that require more planning (such as special dates) Kisaki takes care of, for the rest of the outings/appointments he just gets carried away by the rhythm of you two.
Their plans for an intimate afternoon is to warm up the three of them together between sheets and sweets while watching eternal marathons of movies or documentaries (hanma falls asleep after two films and you always wake him up before the marathon ends so that Kisaki doesn't notice).
Their first date as official couples was at an amusement park by your decision. It was quite an exhausting day for the three of them but they would be able to repeat it a thousand more times if with that they manage to see the exact definition of happiness in each other's smiles again.
When you and Hanma start a tickle fight, you run away in the direction of Kisaki's private studio hiding behind him because he never allows Hanma to enter that place. And you know it very well. That place is your safe zone. But once you take one foot out of there your immunity ends, and Hanma makes sure to get revenge by cornering you between the sofa and him with no escape option. Kisaki gives a soft smile when he hears them laughing in the distance.
At the same time, you and Hanma are good partners, teaming up as an unconscious act to make fun of anything Kisaki says or does.
Broadly speaking Kisaki in a refined, calculating, thoughtful, more elegant and formal type than any ordinary person. In this way he manages to keep his surroundings (and his inner world) under control and at peace. But unfortunately Kisaki can not go against the hyperstimulated souls of their partners. So when a situation in which his presence is completely protagonist and necessary gets stressed. Specifically because the ideas you and Hanma come up with can become terrifyingly exhausting for him. Going to fairs, concerts, parties, birthdays and similar events these are some examples.
Kisaki harbors a buttery side that melts faster when she's resting in your arms, whether you're stroking her hair or listening to her thoughts out loud. Not with this he says that he loves you more than Hanma, only you transmit to him a greater warmth and security compared to the noisy and annoying immature actions of the languid boy. Hanma, in turn, gets cheesier when she's alone with you. He feels that he can release his more cloying cuteness with you because he knows that you tolerate that kind of treatment more, and that you are not going to reject him or get irritated like it happens when he tries to be the same way with Kisaki. Still, none of you have preferences, all three of you love each other equally.
Hanma shows them how much he loves them and how important they are to him by spending quality time together: walks in the fresh air, outings to eat, watching movies at the cinema or at home, playing with board games/video games, etc. Anything that allows him to share his time with the two of you he will put into practice. Kisaki, on the other hand, applies physical contact: hands on the waist, caressing sessions, linked fingers, kisses on random areas of the body, massages, etc. In these ways Kisaki tries to convey to both of you all the love and appreciation he feels for you two, showing you a side that he doesn't have with anyone else.
Of course, this pair is a dangerous bombshell of jealousy and possession. Oh yeah, anyone who tries to step out of the line or even flirt with you won't have any functional organ or limb left to tell about it.
They also don't like to share you with others, no matter if it's your family or friends. Hanma is the most impatient and impulsive of the three, he won't even spend two hours when he's already holding your hand to take you with him and get you out of wherever you are without letting you properly excuse yourself. Kisaki is more patient and serene, entertaining his mind with other things until he can't stand it anymore and demands that you return by means of a call or he just goes to look for you. You better not ignore this couple when jealousy gets the better of them, or you're not going to have a great time afterwards.
Tumblr media
©2024 / ENJOY ♡ — aaaand I was finally able to finish it, I was too busy with classes 🥲🥲 I'll keep writing more about this trio eventually. Thank u for all your love and patience 🙌🏻 tkm

I'll Make You Believe
While the whole "asking a ghost how they died is the worst taboo ever, so don't do it or you'll be in a world of hurt" headcanon is always fun to implement to either create temporary conflict or simply move the story along, I think it'd work just as well on both ends if it was only a minor offense.
Like if you were to ask a once living ecto being how they died the most negative response you'd get would either be some variation of "None of your business puny mortal" or an explanation using the most vividly graphic, stomach turning details as an act of petty revenge as well as insurance you never ask again.
So what could possibly be a way more serious, far more dangerous no-no when it comes to ghosts instead? Well, how about stating ghosts don't exist/there's no such things as ghosts? The reason why being you're invalidating the trauma they've experienced in their last moments.
Makes no difference whether you were aware of this or not. If they find out or worse, it's said to their face? You better hope they'll settle for beating you black-and-blue. Because the alternative is becoming a ghost yourself by the time they're done with you.
Now in dpxyj fics when Danny interacts with Wally and the whole "ghost are/aren't real" argument between them comes into play it's usually depicted as a trivial disagreement. But what if you were to make it more angsty by inserting this take on lack of ghostly etiquette?
Let's say after getting to know his teammates better Danny starts talking about his origins (in vague detail) and exploits, only to eventually be interrupted by Kid Flash declaring that he can't possibly be a ghost as they don't exist. And Robin, Aqualad, Miss Martian, and Superboy all become quite alarmed watching Danny go from easygoing to looking ready to beat Kid Flash to a pulp, as he's now fighting back his ghostly nature. To avoid giving in to the urge he abruptly leaves with a dismissive attitude, much to KF's confusion.
From there it spirals. KF, not realizing he's poking a hornets nest continuing to voice his skepticism whenever the opportunity comes up and each time Danny barely manages to keep it together. Until one day Danny in an explosive rage snatches up KF and in a tone colder than ice tells him he knows what he is, what he went through to reach that state, and that he has no need to justify any of it to him.
Then he leaves once more before he really loses it. Before going after him Miss Martian informs KF of how Danny opened his mind to her and that for his sake she hopes he never shares those memories of what he went through with him. Feeling bad now, KF tries to apologize once Danny returns. Which results in failure again and again since Danny keeps giving him the cold shoulder.
After having yet another apology disregarded KF, in mounting frustration blurts out that he wishes he understood what has Danny so convinced he's a ghost, unaware a certain wish twisting genie he was warned about had been invisibly lurking in the vicinity the instant Danny was elsewhere. Along with the rest of the regulars, as soon as KF's denials had spread to the Ghost Zone Desiree was on the warpath, intent on showing just how real ghosts truly were. By sheer spite and determination she beat everyone else to him, just in time to hear him say the forbidden word, presenting her with the perfect means of retribution.
With a "So you have wished it so shall it be" KF is magically transported to an underwater submarine, occupied by Black Manta. Unable to run as freely without potentially damaging the sub and causing it to flood, the fight upon his unexpected arrival is drawn out to the point KF starts to feel his hyper metabolism weakening him. It's when he's close to dying of starvation that one of the more incompetent goons sends him crashing into the stash of ectoplasm Manta had smuggled with the intent of using it to pollute the waters of Aquaman's Kingdom. The last thing KF sees before blacking out is Desiree looming over him with a smirk of satisfaction.

Cyrus and Aella Headcanons
❝commission: headcannons about the twins (Cyrus and Aella). — requested by 💻 anon.
❝ 📜 — lady l: I spent a few days thinking about how to create a different but complementary personality for the twins and this came out, I think it turned out good. They're my babies, my first OC's to be honest, and I need to write more for them. I hope you like it and forgive me if there are any mistakes! ❤️
❝tw: none.
❝📜word count: 1,208.
Tumblr media
Cyrus and Aella have complementary personalities. Cyrus is calmer and more reflective, while Aella is energetic and adventurous. 
From a young age, Cyrus has always demonstrated a serene and contemplative nature. He is a deep thinker, often lost in his own thoughts. He prefers to analyze situations before acting, evaluating all possible consequences.
His ability to formulate complex strategies is unparalleled. Cyrus loves studying ancient texts on military tactics and philosophy, drawing inspiration from great thinkers like Aristotle, who was also a mentor to his father.
Aella, on the other hand, is a true free spirit. Since she was a child, she was known for her tireless energy and thirst for adventure. Always looking for new experiences, she loves exploring unknown territories and engaging in challenging activities.
Aella has a natural talent for leadership. Her courage and determination inspire those around her, and she quickly gains the loyalty of her followers. On the battlefield, her presence is motivating, and her strategy skills are admirable. If she could (and perhaps can) carry a sword, she will.
Unlike Cyrus, Aella often acts on intuition. She trusts her instincts and is willing to take risks that others would avoid. This approach, while risky, often leads to surprisingly positive results.
Aella has a strong sense of justice and is a fervent defender of the oppressed. She does not hesitate to fight for causes she believes are just, even if it means confronting powerful adversaries and defying the laws that prohibit her from doing what she wants just because she is a woman.
The combination of her personalities creates a perfect balance. While Cyrus plans and calculates every move with precision, Aella is ready to act quickly and face any challenge with courage and vigor. If they decided to rule together, it would be almost impossible to stop them.
In crises, Cyrus can calm and guide Aella, while she can encourage him to step out of his comfort zone and make bolder decisions. They complement each other.
Communication between the twins is almost telepathic. They understand each other with a simple exchange of glances, allowing for fluid and efficient collaboration, whether in strategic discussions or battles.
This complementarity makes them unbeatable, whether in the administration of the empire, in leading armies, or in diplomacy. They support each other, using their strengths to cover each other's weaknesses.
Since they were little, Cyrus and Aella have developed a secret language that they use to communicate without others understanding. This makes them even more united and inseparable.
Language includes a combination of hand gestures, facial expressions, small sounds, and even visual cues. Each gesture or sound has a specific meaning, allowing for quick and effective communication.
In situations where they need to communicate without being overheard by others, such as in strategic meetings or on the battlefield or just to hide secrets from their parents, secret language is essential. It allows them to share critical information with others.
Alexander's passion for exploring and conquering unknown lands is inherited by Aella, who frequently ventures beyond the borders of the empire, always accompanied by Cyrus, who prefers to explore through study and diplomacy.
From an early age, Alexander the Great recognized the extraordinary potential of his twin children, Cyrus and Aella. He made sure that they both received exhaustive training in combat and strategy, aware that their skills would be essential to the continuity and expansion of the empire.
In addition to practical training, Cyrus dedicated himself intensely to theoretical studies. He read the texts of Aristotle, Socrates and other philosophers and historians, seeking to understand the dynamics of power, war and politics. His evenings were often spent in the library, where he studied maps and developed new strategies. Cyrus has developed a close bond with his uncle Hephaestion, mainly because they look so much alike.
Cyrus saw Hephaestion as a trusted figure to whom he could turn for advice and emotional support. Hephaestion, in turn, saw in Cyrus a reflection of himself and was dedicated to guiding him in the best way possible. Hephaestion helped Cyrus hone his diplomatic skills, teaching him to negotiate and mediate conflicts with the same effectiveness he demonstrated on the battlefield.
Aella, from a young age, showed an innate talent for combat, despite not actually fighting because she was not allowed to. Her training included a wide range of fighting techniques, from wielding swords and spears to hand-to-hand combat. She trained daily with the best warriors in the army, improving her strength, agility and precision. Due to her aptitude for fighting, although it was not common at the time, Aella ended up becoming quite close to Cleitus, who was mainly the one who taught her.
Cleitus, known for his skill and bravery on the battlefield, dedicated himself to training Aella in advanced hand-to-hand combat techniques. Under his guidance, Aella perfected her use of swords, spears and unarmed combat. Cleitus also focused on developing Aella's stamina and agility, subjecting her to rigorous exercises that made her not only strong but also quick and flexible. This prepared her to face opponents of different sizes and fighting styles.
Aella has a strong connection with nature and animals. She often spends her time in forests and mountains, while Cyrus prefers gardens and libraries. However, they both share a deep love for the natural world.
(Y/N), Alexandre's wife and mother of the twins ensures that her children receive a complete education, with tutors from different areas of knowledge. Cyrus shows great interest in philosophy and history, while Aella is interested in poetry and music.
Cyrus devotes hours to the study of great philosophers, including Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. He enjoys debates about ethics, politics and the nature of knowledge, often discussing these ideas with his tutors and applying them to his life and strategic decisions.
He analyzes the strategies of historical leaders, learning from their successes and failures. This enriches his own strategic capabilities, helping him develop innovative tactics for military campaigns.
Aella studies the works of great Greek poets, such as Homer and Hesiod, as well as the lyrics of Sappho and Pindar. She writes her own verses, expressing her emotions and experiences through poetry. There is no doubt that she inherited her father's love of reading, especially the Iliad.
Aella learns to play several instruments, such as the lyre and the flute and receives training in singing. Her tutors teach her about music theory, composition, and the Greek musical tradition.
The twins feel an innate curiosity about their mother's heritage and if given the opportunity, they will visit their mother's time to learn about her origins and cultures other than Greek.
Over time, Alexandre begins to trust his children's advice more and more. Cyrus becomes a trusted strategist, while Aella helps inspire and lead the troops, earning the soldiers' respect, just as her mother did years ago.
Despite the fierce love and loyalty that exists between the twins, there is a healthy rivalry between Cyrus and Aella, especially during training and games. This rivalry encourages them to constantly surpass each other.
After Alexander's death, Cyrus and Aella assume central roles in preserving and expanding the empire. Cyrus focuses on strengthening diplomatic alliances, while Aella leads military campaigns, both keeping their father's legacy alive.

hi hi! I was wondering if you could write some halsin x male reader headcanons about them cuddling or just some physical touch of the fluff kind pls! Have an amazing day/night! And thank you for being open to taking requests
(Brief mentions of NSFW content, but mostly fluff)
I hope I didn't disappoint you! I wasn't sure how to emphasize the male part so I added a little mention at the beginning. I tried my best to fluff it up!
Tumblr media
 Fluffy (like GRIZZLY BEAR level fluffy) Halsin Headcanons with a male partner:
When Halsin propositioned you, you told him you have never been with another male (let alone another person) because you never met anyone you clicked with.
You tell him you worry you’ll disappoint him. Halsin scoffs at this idea- you? Disappoint him? Perish the thought. He tells you that he can go slow with you, letting you explore the relationship at your own pace, but encourages you not to discount how incredible you are.
Once you become comfortable in your relationship, Halsin can’t keep his hands off you (Astarion often yells at the two of you to get a room).
He is constantly wanting you near him, on top of him, holding his hand- whatever he can get. He aches for you when you are away and wonders what you are doing when you are gone.
Halsin finds it fascinating that you are originally from the city and not familiar with the outdoors. At first he was shocked and asked what you did to pass time in your boyhood. Your response? Surviving.
After your conversation, Halsin is determined to show you every beautiful thing you have missed out through the years because there was no one to protect you. You have him now, there is nothing to be afraid of.
While you are gone with your other companions (ya know, saving the world and shit), he explores the area around your camp- in search of natural phenomenons to introduce you to on your mutual days off.
Some locations he scouts out for…. Sexual purposes. Waterfalls, for example, are a great way to hide your moans of pleasure. Halsin loves to worship your body. He takes his time and he knows you are embarrassed about the volume of your moans, so he finds a way to make it less uncomfortable for you and just as fun.
Oh, you also always have an assortment of wildflowers outside of your tent when you come back from your adventures. He enjoys the blush on your cheeks and watching you enjoy the scents each flower has.
When you finally have free time, he allows you to sleep in. He brings you breakfast and sometimes he finds berries, fruits, or honey for you since you’ve never had them fresh before. He enjoys your reaction when the sweetness hits your tongue. He is so happy he gets to share his world with you and introduce you to new things.
During your hikes to Halsin’s mystery locations (a romantic never reveals their plans), he holds your hand or he carries you on his back if you had a particularly rough day the day before. He enjoys the way you feel against his back; how you hum happily into the nape of his neck and his hair.
If you point out a plant, animal, or rock- Halsin is ready to educate you about it and answer all of your questions.
Sometimes he takes you out to see the stars and he stays right next you, hand in your hand, because he knows you are afraid of the forest in the dark. You are used to city lights.
He holds your back against his chest while you sit in his lap looking up at the sky.
You are an average sized man, but compared to Halsin? You might as well be considered a halfling, but you don’t mind. He often rests his head on your shoulders or leaves soft kisses in the crook of your neck.
When he feels you tense from a noise in the forest, he provides you with reassurance- he will let no harm come to you, you don’t have to survive alone anymore.
Whenever he is on watch, you sleep outside next to him in your bedroll with your head next to his crossed legs. He enjoys stroking your hair and singing old druidic lullabies to you until your breathing is even and you are fast asleep.
His most favorite thing to do though? Kiss you. He loves softly kissing your lips- whether it be sexually or not. Your lips feel like velvet against his as he gently holds your face between his hands. 
When it’s all said and done, you and Halsin continue to explore nature. He takes you to other druid groves, you swim together in crystal clear lakes, and you sleep tangled together under the stars every night.
Oh and you just know Halsin has some next level kush that you smoke together, entangled while giggling, and coming up with your next fantastic adventure.

Slides into your ask box, do have any dark or nondark headcanons for Norton Campbell?
Norton Campbell Headcanon
Summery: a mysterious and enigmatic individual, whose inscrutable demeanor conceals a complex and intriguing past.
Genre: slight angst, mentions of Norton’s backstory, fluff , hints of violence, hints of harassment, fem reader
Note: *opens ask box* hello there! I didn’t have any Norton head-canons so far so this is the first one, hope you like it! Sorry for taking long dear.
…………………………………………………………………………….
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
…………………………………………………………………………….
It is very known that Norton in the eyes of others was always someone hard to deal with. Growing up in poverty surrounded by factories and polluted air, as well as losing his parents at a young age effected both his mentality and physical strength. It didn’t help either with how much little food he was getting…but it thankfully kept him alive enough much longer than he thought. Despite the hardships there is still a spark of determination within him that fills him with hope to escape such a miserable life.
Upon learning through life the harsh way he developed a deep resentment towards the wealthy and privileged, feeling like they had everything handed to them while he struggled to make ends meet. Despite his hardships, Norton possessed a sharp intellect and a strong work ethic, often taking in much longer times in the mines & pressing more pressure on himself.
It should be obvious that this man would develop a wall around him, due to how he would be treated by others. Trust is something Norton gave up on a long time ago. Ever since death took his father, the only man who held his trust and protection, away from him he learned the hard way to never rely on others other than himself.
You took notice of this of course, being the nurse that is. It was your job to note down each and every one of the men’s healths down. Though Norton was the most to stand out, given how he would always be the one to be brought to your office all beaten up and bruised. Thus how you’ve found yourself paying more attention to the scruffy man.
He was a stubborn one alright, either a miner or a guard had to drag him all the way to you simply cause he saw it as a sigh of weakness and refused to take acknowledge of his injuries just to get back to work.
You never thought about why he was this eager to get back to working in the mines, it was a hellish work alright yet he had always wanted to keep working more and longer than the others. No one really understood why he would go this far or what his goal was but, either way they simply shrugged it off.
Here you are again as you find yourself sitting in front of Norton, quiet and intimidating as he can be, as he sits on the bed, his cold eyes fixed on you without a word. Making you slightly nervous; His taller frame doesn’t help either, he may be slender but his body almost towering over you says otherwise.
The room is filled with the sound of your gentle movements as you tend to his injuries. You clean his face, hands, and arms tenderly, holding back from running your fingers on the scar surrounding his eye. Your touch a stark contrast to his tough exterior.
Norton's silence is heavy in the air, but you've grown accustomed to it. You know that beneath his gruff exterior lies a man who has seen too much hardship in the mines. His injuries, a result of the harsh conditions he faces daily, speak volumes about the dangers of his profession.
As you carefully tend to his wounds, you can't help but wonder about the story behind each scar and bruise. You've heard whispers from the other miners about Norton's solitary nature and the frequent injuries he sustains. Despite his reluctance to seek help, you can see a glimmer of gratitude in his eyes as you work to ease his pain.
He may seem rough yet….you know he isn’t one of the nasty men that would eye you up knowing the unpleasant thoughts that lie within their corrupted minds. He’s got a certain….charm to him, and denying the fact that he himself is quite a handsome man would be a lie.
All he does really is play with a strand of your hair or fiddle with your skirt, to pass the time whenever you’re taking care of him. It surprised you at first yet it was a small sigh of him putting his guard down whenever your around.
It’s really cute actually….and it made you warm inside…
Despite the distrust that lie in his eyes, Norton never really mistreated you nor physically or verbally. All there was, silence and a small nod he’d give you whenever you’d finish healing him up.
Which led you to always secretly make him a warm healthy meal, that would fill him up. It did bring up suspicion on his side but he never refused the offer and found himself digging in realising the desperate hunger that he lived throughout his life, melting at each bite he would take.
In this quiet moment, you find yourself wishing to break through his tough exterior, to offer him the comfort and solace he so clearly needs. You continue your ministrations with care, hoping that your presence brings him some measure of relief, if only for a brief moment in the harsh world of the mines.
As you finish cleaning Norton's wounds, you carefully wrap them up, ensuring that they are protected and will heal properly. You then prepare his medication for the day, knowing that he needs it to manage the pain from his lungs. Thankfully reducing the constant coughing he suffers from. As you hand him the medication, he meets your gaze for a moment, and you catch a hint of something softer in his eyes, a fleeting expression that speaks volumes.
In that brief exchange, you sense a silent gratitude from Norton, a recognition of the care and attention you've devoted to his well-being. Despite his stoic demeanor, you can tell that he appreciates your efforts, even if he struggles to express it in words. You understand that for a man like Norton, actions speak louder than any conversation could.
You watch him take the medication, his movements are measured and deliberate, a reflection of the resilience he carries within him. Giving him a sweet smile you can't help but admire his strength, both physical and emotional, as he endures the harshness of his work with a quiet determination.
Your presence and care have made a difference, however small, in Norton's life. You may not be able to erase the pain and challenges he faces in the mines, but you can offer him a moment of respite, a touch of compassion in a harsh world.
….the next working days you started finding different colours of small gems laying on your office table

how about slytherin boys tarot headcanons? like a reading for each of them?
thanks for requesting!! I have to admit I don't know a lot about tarot, so I decided to do some reseach and assigned them each one card, hope that's okay, also they are pretty short, sorry 💕including Matty, Theo, Enzo, Blaise, Draco, Pansy and Tom.
The Slytherin Boys as tarot cards headcanons
Tumblr media
Mattheo - The Emperor;
♢ Mattheo's presence commands respect, much like the Emperor card in the tarot deck, representing authority, stability, and control. His demeanor is often cool and calculated, with a strategic mind that is always several steps ahead of his peers.
♢ Mattheo's ambition knows no bounds, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, even if it means playing a ruthless game of manipulation and power politics.
Tumblr media
Theo - The Hermit;
♢ Theo is a solitary figure, often found lost in thought or quietly observing the world around him, much like the Hermit card in the tarot deck. He is introspective and deeply philosophical, seeking wisdom and understanding in the solitude of his own mind.
♢ Theo's intellect is sharp, and his insights are often profound, though he keeps them close to his chest, revealing them only to those he trusts implicitly. Despite his preference for solitude, Theodore is a loyal friend to those who earn his trust, offering guidance and support when it is needed most.
Tumblr media
Enzo - The Magician;
♢ Enzo possesses a natural charm and charisma that draws people to him, much like the Magician card in the tarot deck. He's resourceful, adaptable, and has a knack for turning his ideas into reality. Whether he's casting spells or weaving intricate schemes, Lorenzo embodies the transformative energy of the Magician.
♢ Enzo is a quick thinker, always ready with a clever solution to any problem that arises. However, beneath his charming exterior lies a cunning mind capable of weaving intricate webs of deceit and manipulation if needed.
Tumblr media
Blaise - The Lovers;
♢ Blaise is a creature of passion and desire, much like the figures in the Lovers card in the tarot deck, representing attraction, intimacy, and choice. He exudes an aura of sensuality and charm, drawing others to him like moths to a flame.
♢ Blaise is a romantic at heart, prone to falling deeply and passionately in love with those who capture his attention. However, his affections can be fickle, and he is not afraid to pursue his desires with reckless abandon, regardless of the consequences. Despite his hedonistic tendencies, Blaise's loyalty to those he cares about runs deep, making him a fiercely protective friend and ally.
Tumblr media
Draco - The Tower;
♢ Draco's life is a series of upheavals and dramatic changes, much like the Tower card in the tarot deck, representing chaos, destruction, and revelation. He is constantly grappling with the expectations placed upon him by his family and society, struggling to find his place in a world that seems determined to tear him down.
♢ Despite his privileged upbringing, Draco is plagued by feelings of insecurity and self-doubt, constantly seeking validation from those around him. His journey is one of transformation and self-discovery, as he navigates the turbulent waters of adolescence and learns to forge his own path in a world torn apart by war and conflict.
Tumblr media
Pansy - The Empress;
♢ Pansy embodies the qualities of the Empress card in the tarot deck, representing nurturing, abundance, and fertility. She is fiercely protective of her loved ones, with a maternal instinct that runs deep. Pansy is often the glue that holds her friend group together, offering comfort and support in times of need.
♢ Despite her sometimes brash exterior, Pansy has a heart of gold, and her loyalty to those she cares about knows no bounds. She is a natural leader, with a magnetic charisma that draws others to her side, making her a beloved figure in the social circles of Hogwarts.
Tumblr media
Tom - The Devil;
♢ Tom is a master of manipulation and deception, much like the Devil card in the tarot deck, representing bondage, materialism, and destructive impulses. He is charming and charismatic, with a magnetic presence that draws others into his orbit. However, beneath his charming facade lies a darkness that is as alluring as it is terrifying.
♢ Tom is driven by a desire for power and control, willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, regardless of the cost. His influence is far-reaching, with a network of followers who are willing to blindly follow him down the darkest of paths. Tom's legacy is one of fear and destruction, leaving a trail of chaos in his wake as he seeks to reshape the world in his image.

neteyam/lo'ak love triangle headcanons x reader
Tumblr media
warnings: a bit angsty but also super fluffy requested by anon <3 ↳ "hiiii luv, I honestly wanna live out my dream vicariously though my oc, could I pretty please request love triangle headcanons between neteyam and lo'ak and the oc. like both brothers are infatuated by the oc and try to win her over (fav trope)"
i'm back with your regularly scheduled sully boy content. i changed it from being an oc fic to being a reader insert so everyone can read! i hope y'all enjoy these <3
‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿︵
you were a child of tonowari and ronal - beloved by your village and devoted to protecting and serving your people - but you despised the pressure to be the perfect child
the pressure made you act out sometimes, craving freedom from the perfect image that suffocated you. you made mistakes, tried not to be the disappointment. you were clever and quick on your feet to recover from your mistakes. you could throw a huge celebration to honor your people, and then burn the village down. it was like you were both… perfect but always two steps behind
you felt like no one understood you. no one really.. until these two omatikaya boys showed up on the foot of your village beach. they were respectful, grateful that your family allowed them to stay
neteyam, the awkward and charming one, eldest to toruk makto. a true warrior, doted on by his parents, the next olo'eyktan to the forest clan
lo’ak, the charismatic and humorous secondborn son. striving to be like his older brother, but can never escape trouble
and you, being a mix of both. maybe that’s why you were all so drawn to each other in the beginning
lo’ak would try to impress you by being a fast learner, which would always come back to bite him in the ass, like almost drowning because he was so determined to get your praise and really listened to you and what you were teaching him, and as he improved he catching your attention
but you and neteyam were not friends at first. always trying to prove who was the better fighter, bickering any time you spoke to eachother, always having to fight with him about leaving your skxawng brother and his friends for picking on his sister
and that drew you closer to lo’ak. you both understood eachother - the want for freedom, the feeling of never being good enough, always being at the wrong place at the wrong time. you cold confide in him, and he could confide in you. you finally had found someone who had your back
the more time you spent with lo’ak, the more your feelings grew for him. he defended you, wouldn’t hesitate to punch someone out for you, always made you laugh when you were sad or comforted you when you were hurt. he was always there, and he wouldn’t be leaving soon
and then the skypeople first attacked. you were being held hostage by the RDA as bait to get jake sully to come out to pay for how he wronged them
neteyam had come to save you, lo’ak, tsireya and tuk from the warship
and because you were so keen on never leaving lo’ak, you ran head first into the warship to help him find his friend spider
they were shooting at you, and as you were jumping off of the ship, neteyam had shielded you from the bullets
he had been shot, but it wasn’t fatal. just landed right in his arm
when you returned to the village, you stayed in their home to help tend to his wounds because you felt like it was your fault he had been wounded
you were changing neteyam’s bandages when you noticed how he looked at you. his cheeks rosy and his lips slightly parted and his breathing sped up
he thought you were so beautiful. he never truly knew why you were so against each other, but he would always admire you from afar. the girl who loved her island, the sea, her people, the animals. you were a natural born leader and he was so astonished by how similar the both of you were
you would be lying if you didn’t admit he had always been in the back of your mind
the passion in your fighting, the lingering touches, the lack of hesitation when it came to protecting each other in battle
he wanted you to be his tsahik one day. he thought you both would be great leaders together
and you best believe lo’ak definitely picked up on the way y’all were eyeing each other up
he felt so betrayed, and of course began resenting his brother for taking something else away from him
since then neteyam had been more chivalrous. always holding out his hand for you to hold on to when getting down or to help you get up from sitting, offering his shawl when it got too cold on your weekly walks on the beach
really wondered why he was never good enough for everyone. he thought he really had a chance at something with you
you avoided neteyam for a bit to try to escape your feelings, went to find lo’ak
eventually you found him by three brother rocks playing with payakan
you didn’t understand why neither of them wanted nothing to do with you - you had always been there to swim and play with them in the water and now they were recoiling away from you
“lo’ak, please tell me what’s wrong! i don’t understand!”
“just leave me alone!”
“no! not until you tell me what’s happened!”
“why don’t you run back to neteyam, huh? i’m sure he’ll help you understand,”
and there it was. inside you could deny your feelings all you want but you couldn’t lie to him and tell him there was nothing there.
“but i’m here with you. i have no need to go back,” you tried to tell him but he would just push you away more and tell you he wanted nothing to do with you
and of course, you were heartbroken. went back to the village, your grief instilling a strong will to be the perfect child and try to ignore lo’ak and all of the trouble he was getting into
you ended up spending more time with neteyam doing your duty to the village - they were his people now too and he needed to show his parents and yours what a great leader he would be
he stopped you on the beach one night as you were walking - just taking a small break from all of the pressure and the spotlight of being the perfect children
he confessed to you there, pouring his heart out to you entirely hoping you would accept him and his love and how he would take care of you and make sure you knew how loved you were
he was so vulnerable. but deep in your heart you knew you couldn’t do that to lo’ak
you grabbed both of his hands firmly, and gently placed your forehead against his.
eye closed, voice cracking - “i love you too. more than words can describe. but i cannot do this,”
“it’s lo’ak, isn’t it?”
you nodded softly, trying not to burst into tears
he told you he understood, but he didn’t. all he could do was let you go
so you ran to lo’ak, ready to confess your feelings for him and tell him how much you missed him
and that’s when you saw him with tsireya. giggling and holding hands by a fire on the beach
you ran as far as you could the other way, finally letting those tears flow
from the corner of his eye lo’ak could see you fleeing. it took every bone in his body to stop him from running after you
besides, he had tsireya now. in his mind, you broke his heart. with her he could repair it and be happy.
you could’ve run back to neteyam, but it was too fresh to try to mend now. he would go find someone else to try to forget you as well and now you were back to where you began
you had lost them both. the relationships you had with your two best friends were crumbling right in your hands and you felt as though you couldn’t fix it. and that destroyed you.

The Hashiras with a Family | Gyomei Himejima
Word Count: 5665
Setting: Gyomei x gn!reader [established, developed relationship]
Content Warning(s): contains spoilers to Gyomei’s background friend, family discussion, brief mentions of pregnancy, and/or carrying a child.
Summary: headcanons as to what Gyomei Himejima would be like with a family, whether he ever wanted kids, why or why not, what it was that determined he would have a child with you, what he would be like as a parent, and a partner.
Tumblr media
There was never a question of whether Gyomei Himejima desired a family. He has always had a natural disposition towards children, towards nurturing the next generation. As though a moth to the flame, he has no will to resist the calling, the gentle pull upon his heart. To care for others comes as naturally as breathing for the Stone Hashira.
Though, it may not have always been his intention to have children of his own. Yet, one cannot deny that he has always gravitated towards a caretaker position.
While other little boys set to work amongst their pretend occupations, the occasional farmer and merchant amongst the would be samurais with sticks at their belt, Gyomei was more than content to accept the duty of caring for the dollies. The warmth of his voice, young and soothed into hummed lullabies, satisfied to rock the playthings to sleep.
Discovered delight in forming little onigiris composed of mud and wild berries for his imaginary family, to greet his pretend spouse from their busy day defending a make-believe castle. Content to live a life of domesticated bliss, to scrub laundry in the rivers, and dry them upon hung lines. Callous of fingers that knew honest work, back that knew labor and the till of the land, and children’s laughter.
It was a desire the Stone Hashira captivated, long before the meaning had proper merit. A dream painted in long nights, in joy of small victories, of first steps, and shoes waiting at the door. Gyomei has never been one to shy away from little ones, such as the way he immediately accepted care for the Kocho sisters upon the loss of their parents, always one to insist in assisting exhausted mothers, and corral rowdy toddlers. Shinobu was a terror as a child, I just know it.
The small press of a smile to his lips, guided only by the sound of their jostled amusement, and the warmth of their tiny hands as the fold into his own, significantly larger palms as though he could hold the entire world his hands and perhaps because to Gyomei, they are the entire world.
As a partner, Himejima is in tune with your needs, with your hopes, and your dreams. He is able to detect from the tone in your voice if he should cook a home cook meal, or just pick up dinner. The Stone Hashira can foresee if there is a need for tea, or if you need something stronger.
There is so much to be said as how overconsiderate of a spouse he is, and because of this, Gyomei was well aware of your desire for a family before it had properly taken form. It was a small smile that had blossomed on your lips on your usual outings. The small coos of an infant during a trip to a grocer that had captivated your attention, drew your eyes in admiration.
Another instance in which a child had been separated from its mother during your tea shop visit, the slight blush met at the touch of realization of how naturally the little one’s hand fits into your palm. The small whisper of hope was the very moment that Himejima became painfully aware of how your gaze lingered for the chubby fingers that bid you farewell when reunited with its mother; the absence of warmth that shattered his own.
The daydreams of a little boy that gave way to the realities of the world as well as the loss of his family, of survival, and little joys of mending ragged clothes, bundled blankets in a rundown temple. A life of blood, sweat, tears, and an empty belly with only the laughter of children to bring meaning to his other wise colorless world. A makeshift family of his own, and for but only a moment, Himejima knew peace. Drew life to his bones, and in the next moment, suffocated him.
Shattered pasts, blistered scars, drudged in planted doubts, insecurities, and the loss of his little ones.
His fault.
To bare witness to the blossom of yearning in your heart… No, no it’s not that the Stone Hashira does not wish for a family. Every aspect of him, has always pined for such a life, dedicated to domesticated bliss, but to dare to dream means to open himself up for the ghost of his pasts.
To face phantoms of those he loved, and those he believed he had damned would only poison his present, corrupt his future. The distant daydream that slipped between his fingers, all too aware of the specters that clasp his heart, and threaten to drag him to the pits of despair. Every time he allows himself to consider the possibility…
The Stone Hashira needs time, and he is all too aware of the scars he bears. As steady as the breath that falls from his lips, the words uttered in quiet shame, asked of your patience. Your understanding. Forgiveness, as he seeks to heal wounds that have only been left to fester. The
To greet the embrace of domesticity, to retire his duties, to know the warmth of children laughter once more. To swallow the guilt of lost lives, of robbed futures to parade upon his own.
No, no Himejima is all too aware of the small fingers that clasped his heart, and now drags him to the pits of despair every time the thought blossoms within his heart. The flow of time to sort out his own feelings, to accept the sorrows of his past, embrace the spirits of the lost to rest with his soul. That to accept that which the Stone Pillar cannot change, the loss of all the love he had captivated, of dreams he had fostered for each of his children, to acknowledge who they were, who they could have been, and what will never be.
To forgive himself.
Grief, loss, and carrying on is never an easy road, and as a partner, you cannot expect him to overcome such devastation with ease. Regardless of how many years have come to pass, and those that will follow, the reality is that they will always be a part of the Stone Pillar’s foundation.
Pieces of his heart, shattered to the night, and even when the time for your family to start, Gyomei will still think of them.
He will hear them in your little one’s laugh, reminiscent of mischief in the middle of the night upon hearing your child’s toes creep against aged wood panels. Danced in wishes across flower petals, childhood games that meet his ears, he will yearn for their hands when your little one folds their fingers of his own. New to the world, and far too small to understand the warmth of love that surrounds it, but it is in these moments, that Himejima can finally… breathe.
Because, you never asked him to forget his children.
If you can find the patience, and compassion for the unique aspect of the man before you, bound to your heart, and tended to scars, you will be more than rewarded. You see, Himejima has no preference for the delivery of your children, or the way that they fall into your lives.
Rather, his only desire is for your children to be healthy. The axe wielder is a patient man, and more than accepting of the world. Over considerate of your needs, he’s just pleased that you both have come to the place in which you are ready to start a family.
In whichever way that may be.
If you are one for the concept of pregnancy, and childbirth, you are in for a pampering, and fretful experience. Gyomei would delight at the round of your belly, his hands naturally drawn to it regardless of the size. Easily captivated between his large hands, one to whisper affection and praise, self-assured that the baby can hear him despite what the taisho era midwives may claim.
In terms of pregnancy, Himejima is perhaps the perfect partner to enter this stage of life with. Bare in mind how in tune he is with your needs, he will be quick to tend to the growing pains of pregnancy. So much so that, you may find it a bit more of a pleasurable experience than others—though you will still have your share of burdens.
You may find yourself frustrated how rigid he can be when it comes to childrearing. Gyomei will take the utmost care to ensure that you are well fed. All midnight cravings satisfied in appropriate quantities, even if it means he must hunt down the tea house owner at 2am to procure your coveted anmitsu with side of pickled plums and steamed silkworms—no he does not understand this by any means, but if it brings you joy, who is he one to question your needs.
Gyomei cannot rearrange the bedding enough to ensure that he has shooed away any of your discomfort, and there will never be enough time to tend to your swollen feet. Fretting, and murmuring over small scoldings to take this delicate time with ease rather than remain steadfast. The early months would only greet the tip of the iceberg. His mother hen ways have only just begun, spent holding your hair, and spending hours dedicated to making porridge. The removal of all potential hazards I know he takes baby proofing very seriously. He’ll remove any potential nausea triggers from your sights and go to extremes to ensure you know comfort.
You will discover all of your original house chores laid to the side, completed without your attendance. Attention to detail has always been a strength of the Stone Pillar, and he will utilize this to provide you with a breezy pregnancy.
If anything, you’re likely to grow bored, and even agitated at how pampered you’ve become. Insisting that pregnancy has not robbed you of your ability to hang laundry.
The second trimester, will only press upon superstitions, the having the joy of sharing your good news amongst the village, and the Demon Slayer Corps. Frequent visits to the shrines, pressed days of Inu no hi, and the insistence that you wear a hara-obi. Fretting over the comfort, and warmth of the baby. He has hunted down the elusive retiree shinobi, requesting locations of recommended onsen—he has heard of the health benefits.
He will shuffle through every Shinobu has supplied him with, and he will delight in any recipes that Shinazugawa recommends, taking extra care of the nutritional value. He is gushing to anyone who will listen about your pending bundle of joy.
The utter devastation upon Mitsuri inquiring if—you would perhaps return to your parent’s home nearing the end of your pregnancy. H-he forgot about that part. His worries, have only just begun, and by the third trimester he is a fretful ball of nerves. Because in the Taisho era, fathers would not have been welcome to be involved in the birth, or the early weeks as they are in the present.
But I mean, is anyone really capable of stopping Gyomei? I mean… bruh.
Should you have zero desires to bear a child no one here blames you, or the inability to do so. Do not worry over your relationship, it is not something that Gyomei would ever be distraught over, nor feel the need to doubt his partner. If anything, it would likely break his heart for you to have ever believed it a deal breaker in your relationship.
It’s true, he would be delighted to see life greet you, but the same joy would be expressed regardless of how your family has begun. He has never placed a high importance upon gender, nor the path to parenting you undertake.
An adoptive child, foster family, all it would suit him just fine. Ultimately, the arrival of your children is only partly determined by you. Should you desire to carry your child, well, the little one will have just as much of his heart and love as the children he adopts. No matter what, you’re adopting some kiddos.
Full disclosure, Gyomei adores children, and it’s only natural that he would welcome as many as could ever need him. Because of this, you will need to be up front, and communicative if you have an aversion to raising, well a horde.
He has always had an open heart as well as an open home policy, and it’s completely okay if you do not. The Stone Hashira favors a bond with his spouse, so much that I imagine he would be wiling to accept the one or two children max policy you have. As long as you are willing to accept that, he will never turn those away in need.
Himejima spent a long, long time selecting a name for your child(ren). Time agonizing over the name, despite the fact that he has a preference for more traditional names.
He adores the nostalgia, the comfort, and would be prone to opting for old school names. I imagine that he would give your little one the same name that the little granny at the grocer has. At the same time, I believe that he would be very intentional with his selection. It would be something with akin to a wish for your child. Something like
Tenmu—heaven, sky, imperial, celestial Kiyomoto – holy, sacred Yoshiko—fragrant, virtuous, beautiful child.
It would be a name that carries so much weight, and adoration, but distant to the touch. A whisper of a name, one that draws a smile to the elder’s faces as it slips from their lips. Reminds them of someone, they used to know, a long, long time ago, and memories that may have been forgotten.
There are those who will struggle with parenting. I mean, most everyone will in some form or fashion. Those who cannot grasp the concept of having someone entirely dependent on them like Shinobu, those who will battle their inner monologues like Obanai, and those who will down right, never have a grasp on disciplining their children in an appropriate way Mitsuri.
However, there are few obstacles that the Stone Hashira would grapple with in parenting. Truthfully, he has faced a few challenges in the past, and in the present raising Genya. He has endured late nights rocking a child inflicted by colic, potty training willful toddlers, navigating the emotional needs of developing children, and the ever-sharp tongues of teenagers.
There is little that will knock the giant from his stance or shake his foundation. If there was ever a parent who soaked in the newborn stage, thrived on the sleep deprivation, and glowed in the early days of parenting, it’s Gyomei. It would greet him well, and verify that this is the very moment, he has waited his whole life for.
The resignation of his loud, thundering heartbeat as comforting as waves coddled n his large arms accompanied by his natural pace falling into a sway that soothes even the restless. Safe, secure. Just imagine snuggling in those arms. In many ways, I believe that if given the opportunity, Himejima would seize the opportunity to be the primary caregiver—to stay home with the little ones.
Delighted to be surrounded by little ones, the sounds of laughter, and wipe away tears. Cuddle the hours away, sooth hair ends, and snub the snot from little rounded noses. To consol and comfort. A stay-at-home parent would suit him well, he is content to remain home and care for the children, to prepare meals, and tend to the laundering.
On the same coin, he is just as willing to ensure the financial well-being of his home, but leaving you is not in his nature, and because of this, he will have to try extra hard to remain steadfast to his cause. He never faltered on his beliefs until your little one entered the home. Yet, he is more than aware that he has a duty, and owes your family dedication as well. Though, the first day Himejima is apart from you, he will fret over every little thing.
Worry over if you have had a moment of peace, if the little one has slept well, if you have had a meal, did he pack enough nappies for the day—all of it? As a father, worrying is his pastime.
Though, he’s not the sort to be a helicopter parent. Rather it’s that he is well aware that looming over their every step will not grant them a happy life. Every aspect of the Stone Hashira desires to become his children’s shadows. To follow their lead, to remain within fingers grasp. To snatch them from certain stumbles, heart ache, and tragedies of lost dollies, but he won’t.
His worries often burden his heart, and his mind, they weigh to him like anchors are always present. However, Himejima is aware that the scars of his past cannot impact his parent. He cannot permit its place amongst his presence. While it may pain the ax wielder to do so, he will relinquish control gradually, allowing them the room for growth, and failure.
To wander from his grasp, to explore their worlds, their identities, to make their own missteps, and discover their destines. Away from you. Away from him. They will scrap knees, they will know heart ache, and failure.
Himejima is the sort of father to accept the agony of his children as his own. To adopt their burdens, and devastation, to welcome them into his arms as they sob into his kimono though they may never realize the depths his heart aches for them. The soothing pat of his large hand gently tending to their tears, offering only the faintest vibration of a hum in the  depths of his throat as he chokes back the pain of a father.
Their pain is his own.
In many ways, he is a natural parent. Himejima is warm, and comforting. The shelter against the rain, and the wind that whispers against the wind, he is firm, and protective. He guides and nurtures; the Stone Hashira remains where others would flee.
He has always stood against aversity, and breaths through the storm. Attentive, and quick to rise from slumber upon detecting a small skip in the newborn’s breathing in the dead of night. Adjusting space by the needs of the children simply at the drop of your teenager’s tone. Through puppy love, and heartbreak, Gyomei enjoys observing and noticing all of your little one’s unique traits and strengths.
The small wiggle of their nose when they are upset, the way your youngest’s gaze naturally drifts to the left when they are thinking. The way your middle rocks on their heels when they have a surprise in store, or the way your oldest always tucks a little bite of rice in with his side.
The Stone Pillar notices every little thing, and because of this, he is the first to pick up on change, on growth, and accomplishments. The bend of your infant’s knee, revealing its upcoming crawling days, the dexterity in your toddler’s fingers as they grow capable of feeding themselves.
He’s nostalgic; Gyomei is often easily a victim of reflecting upon his children’s accomplishments, and reflections of their lives. The way your oldest brought home a snake, begging to keep it. How you screamed. At times, his reminiscence are embracing the individuality of your children; other times, it is easy for him to be swept away by prior days and mourn the ones to come.
Easily swept away by memories, and likely to dedicate too much time flipping through old family albums. He will desperately need you during these times. In some of the most bone crushing hugs you can imagine.
Sir has grandpa vibes.
The reality is, the majority of parenting comes easily to him. Almost effortlessly that you may find yourself frustrated with your own lacking in certain areas. His eagerness to care for and teach your children the ways of the world, may grow the tense feelings that perhaps you are not doing enough as their other parent.
He’s dedicated, to ensuring that they are well rounded adults, and far to willing to dedicate his life to the endeavor. His patience with the kids when you are at your wits end; Himejima’s natural ability to swoop end cease tears in their tracks. To remain calm despite the situation, or serious injuries, all of it is easy to feel inadequate next too, and it’s easy to run the risk of feeling a bit bitter at his approach to parenting.
However, if you are open with him about your struggling, the Stone Pillar is quick to search out ways to assist you, even if there just little small things throughout the day such as having your lunch packed, or little sweets hidden for you in your belongings on stressful days.
On one hand, it’s wonderful markings of a father, on the other, it’s easy to feel swept under the rug when he spends all of his time tending to the littles. So much so that he likely struggles to juggle date night, either because he finds reasons to stay home with your kiddos, or because he is fretting over them during your time together and plunging the date down the toilet.
It’s not that the axe wielder intends for this to happen, it is in a sense the occupational hazard of being the primary parent, and you will have to work hard with him to ensure your relationship bonds are secure as ever.
In parenting, Gyomei is the definition of present. He will move mountains to ensure that he is at every recital, every PTO meeting, even the most minor of scrapped knees, he will find the way to be at your side. He is tender, and open to accepting your child’s feelings as they come. Even if at times, they are especially scathing. Kids words cut the deepest.
Ultimately, this is all because he believes that in displaying sincerity in his relationship as a father, that the same trait may be passed down to his children. He wants to foster the sort of relationship in which they know they are free to discuss, whatever their little heart desires from the mundane chasing butterflies to the heavy depths of emerging youth he said, she said.
He is prepared for any scrap, and boo boo alike with a plethora of cutesy bandages at his disposal, and even the accommodations should your child find bandaging discomforting. The home is always well stock prior to alignment, the touch of allergies approaching, he is already pushing all the remedies into your systems.
Himejima is quick to offer affections, although it is true that it may not always be verbal. Let’s be clear that it does not mean that he will lack verbal affirmations for your children, but rather that the physical tending to comes far easier to him, but he is the sort to make the extra effort even if it feels a touch foreign.
He is fiercely protective of his children who can blame him,  and because of this you will find that he puts extreme care into his environment. All furniture will likely remain secure well into the formative years.
The bright side, if grandkids should be in your future, you’ll never have to babyproof. It’s still present from your childbearing years. You will likely have to petition him from time to time to scale it back as there is no real reason as to why a seven year old needs a baby proofed toilet.
No, parenting is a natural component of Gyomei’s DNA, and it all comes painfully naturally to him on instinctual levels. Coded in the depths of his gene pool, and because of this, you will find that it is in fact, society norms that plague him.
The knitting of old ladies that share their experience, despite how dated their approaches are, to the societal norms in corporal punishments will have him doubting his natural abilities. Causing him to question his abilities as a father, if perhaps he is not stern enough with his children wellbeing. As though an extra pudding will send them to jail.
The little buzzing of influence in his ears will have him grappling with every decision, debating if it is in fact a good idea. The mass majority of societies expect a father to be stern, to be firm, and forceful, a disciplinary and provider, words that do not coincide with his identity, and will easily be confused as shortcomings as a parent.
As a man, he is far more content to stay home with his children rather than seek a paycheck, and if you yourself are pleased by your career, he is the first to offer to relinquish his for raising children.
There in lies a flaw in the societal pressures exerted on him, whispers if he is truly a capable father, a man, or head of the household. He will need your reassurance that gender norms have no place in your home, and you are very pleased with the order of things, but know that every now and then it will seep in.
The doubts, the worries, and often finds it rears its ugly head when it comes to disciplining.
Gyomei hates criticizing his children. To inflict any sort of sadness, no matter how necessary, will inflict inner turmoil and anxiety. Quick to dote, and likely to let more things slide than he should, in a power dynamic with children, he hopes that his children will remain steadfast to their teachings, and he will crumble when they give to peer pressure.
You may find yourself as the one to reprimand misbehaviors, but given enough time, he will strike a balance between discipline and love. Though you may have to suffer in the meantime as he is quick to fold with the smallest of lip trembles.
As a parent, and a partner, it is true that he will initially struggle to find a balance between tending to the children and your relationship.  Grapple with letting go of anxieties and worries, and acknowledge that you will still need him as your partner. This will become expedited as he really, and truly cares for you in all aspects, and while it may slip from time to time, he is quick to find his way back to you.
Himejima views his treatment of you, as his partner, as what his children will seek out in their own mates, and because of this, you will find that there may be times where he is pushing himself more to meet some figment of his imagination.
Grand gestures are not his strong suit, yet he will attempt to compete with Uzui levels of displays, and will just need some reassurance that you love him, and things as they are.
