#nathan explosion hc

So considering we see Nathan and Pickles play the Piano during “How can i be a hero?” in DSR we can only assume that they didn’t just pull that out of their asses and know how to play the piano. Which. in itself makes me love that they really made Pickles the multitalented music protege. Makes me wonder if Snakes N Barrels ever did a rock balled on the piano,,,

I’m sure Rose had Nathan take Piano lessons as a kid. With how supportive they are of his work he was probably told learning piano would help him with his music plans in the future!

Molly probably just made Pickles take them for discipline. You wanna work with music? then you start here. no if, ands or buts. I’m sure he hated it but it came naturally to him (along with everything else)

[aman-duuh]

lesbianklok save me .. save me lesbianklok.....

[louisblue02]

since it’s canon that Nathan’s parents have a cat I think to think that every time he visits immediately he just passes his parents to go find that fat orange bastard

[mechadeath]

he keeps getting piercings done and then taking them out bc he hates the way they feel

Too late but i did it (i'm cringe)

Dethklok Agere HCs: Toki Edition

🐰🐝🎸🎮🤡🐱🍭✈️🛼🎹🖍️🍼🍺💉🎁🤠🏎️🔫👯‍♂️🪽🌈🤮

I originally was going to do all of the members together in one post, but I realized after Toki that it was going to be obnoxiously too long for all five. So, I'm splitting them up into each member. Obviously, I had to start with my main man, Toki 🧸!

Everything is below the Keep Reading tab.

Toki

(My son, my pookie bear, my darling, my sunshine, my sweetheart, my Swiss cheese, my BABY!)

🧸 First, I think his age range is pretty narrow but the ages he falls into are drastically different headspace wise. Meaning, I think he can fall between a 2 to a 4, but how he acts as a 2 year old is a lot different than a 4 year old, so it's important to figure out what his headspace is before doing something.

🧸 Toki is a hitter!!! He canonically hits people in the show for attention and even hits Pickles in AOTD in the church. Having Toki show signs of realistic trauma-based regression is just so important to me, it makes me crazy! The boy is not well but he is working on it.

🧸 Speaking of which, Toki requires the most support regressing than any of his bandmates. He needs constant support from either the band (Pickles) or Charles (Listen, he never left in my eyes. THOSE ARE HIS BOYS, HE COULDN'T JUST LEAVE THEM!) Whether this means just babysitting when he's regressed and chilling or actively helping him complete physical or emotional tasks. He needs a lot of support in his regression.

🧸 Out of all the members, Toki's regression is the most recognized as age regression by the general, uneducated public. It's very obvious age regression. I say this because I think some of the other members regression is not recognized as regression at first glance, especially by outsiders. (Of course, within the band, they all know each other well enough to spot the signs.)

🧸 He wants to put everything in his mouth. The remotes all have screws in them now where the batteries are located and Pickles is constantly holding Toki's hands to keep them from grabbing stuff.

🧸 He utilizes supplies in his regression the most out of everyone in Dethklok. I honestly believe that Toki can go anywhere between baby bottles to an open cup (supervised), so his supplies are diverse and plentiful. I personally see him utilizing stuffies, specific clothes for regression, (canon) ear muffs, pacifiers, child friendly cutlery, child friendly arts and crafts, sensory supplies, and so many other odds and ends.

🧸 From what we see in AOTD with Pickles carrying a large duffle bag (alluding that it's for Toki), I do think that Toki uses diapers. HEAR ME OUT! I don't think it's all of the time, but I do think that if Toki regresses far enough, it would become a necessary part for him. (Homie is traumatized.) Pickles just knows what's up and is ready to care and defend his Norwegian baby brother.

🧸 He needs attention ALL OF THE TIME! Even if he doesn't necessarily want someone to be in his space, he still needs to know that they are available for him 100% of the time. (Playing by himself but won't let you leave the room without crying.)

🧸 Oh, he is the biggest crier in Dethklok (Skwisgaar is the second). He will cry if he hurts himself, he'll cry if he just finished his last piece of dinner he liked, he'll cry if he doesn't want someone to stop cuddling him. But he also cries over a lot of things he doesn't understand, like being triggered by sounds or phrases. The sound of a whip and an actual whip are not allowed on Mordhaus because of how scared Toki gets when he sees/hears one. (Aslaug, when I catch you, Aslaug.)

🧸 He will utilize his big blue eyes for treats. Do not be fooled, he's already gone to everyone in the band for the same treat and got one from them already. (Charles won't budge but he's gotten close.)

🧸 Loves to cuddle. Loves to be held. I mean, is this really a HC anymore, of course Toki loves to cuddle and be held. He's cuddling while playing, he's cuddling watching TV, he's cuddling while sleeping, he's cuddling while eating. He'll cuddle on the toilet if you let him. Nathan is the person Toki goes to the most for these cuddles because he's large, soft, and has a low bass rumble in his chest when he speaks that puts Toki to sleep instantly.

🧸 He can only play independently but wants to play with others. He just doesn't know how to do that yet. Pickles and Murderface have tried to join in on play time but it stresses Toki out too much. I HC this because Toki had no control over his environment as a child, so playing is a way for him to have that control. By having someone join in, it's inviting the inevitable that they might take over his environment. That alone makes him stressed because play time was the only time as a child that Toki had any control in, so it's going to be hard letting people in when he's regressed.

🧸 He is the bubble bath connoisseur. When he's big, he is spending time looking for new bubble baths, bath bombs, toys, all kinds of shit. He loves bath time, it's his favorite part of the day when he is small. It depends if Toki needs supervision/the level of supervision for bath time when he's small. He can go from needing help every step of the way to only needing help filling the tub and getting in and out. I do think he would love to have his hair played with and washed. To me, this is a Skwisgaar or Charles job. Pickles has tried but he's almost bald with dreads and has no idea how to wash hair anymore.

🧸 The lore he has with his stuffies is long, complex, and gory. He will NOT explain it though, it's too much of a hassle.

🧸 Speaking of, Toki does have very disturbing tendencies while regressed due to his trauma. I like to think he draws and colors a lot of his abuse and shows them to the band. I also think, while regressed, he falls into old fears about being punished, so if he does something that was "breaking the rules" when he was actually a child, he will completely spiral and hurt himself somehow. He also won't say anything if he is hurt because his injuries used to never be a big deal or were "deserved". Same thing with eating and drinking, he won't do them if he feels like he did something bad. I also think he "punishes" himself by stripping himself of his shirt and pants and laying somewhere cold (under a fan or on bathroom tiles), to mimic the feeling of the "Punishment Hole". The band is closely working with Dr. Twinkletits to keep tabs on all of this.

🧸 On a happier note, he loves to follow Skwisgaar around when he's regressed, and Skwisgaar doesn't mind too much. (He loves being Toki's favorite and gloats about it all the time to the other members.)

🧸 Stares. He loves to just look at people. It scares the band sometimes until they realize they can stare back and make Toki laugh.

🧸 He's a thumb sucker. I know it in my heart that he's sucking away on his grimy little thumb and Pickles is always yelling at him to get it out of his mouth. This only works half of the time because Toki just loves his thumb too much.

🧸 When he's too little to talk, he makes a lot of huffs and puffs to get his point across. Gets progressively less coherent the sleepier he gets.

🧸 He gets nightmares. Just like when Toki isn't small, he is plagued by nightmares. But, I do believe that if he goes to bed regressed, the daily activities ease him enough that he doesn't get them nearly as much or as bad as when he's not regressed.

🧸 He uses a nightlight. It's in the shape of a kitty head and casts a kitty shadow on the wall. His name is Elin.

🧸 Toki loves arts and crafts and usually has to have someone supervise him when he's in creating mode. (He will eat the uncooked macaroni and then get upset when there's none left to make his pictures.) He is no longer allowed unsupervised access to glue as he keeps trying to eat it. Scissors, he has no problem with.

🧸 Toki is known for some pretty explosive tantrums, which Pickles and Nathan have tried very hard to work Toki through so he doesn't end up hurting himself or others. He is known to hit, kick, bite, spit, and swear when he's upset. But a lot of it is superficial. Toki isn't aiming to hurt anyone or himself, he's just expressing his frustration in a physical manner that can harm people. He gets more upset after the tantrum when he realizes what he's done. The band can't be but too mad at him, he isn't in complete control. They've learned to help Toki work through his tantrums the best they can.

🧸 The band is not allowed to ignore Toki when he's regressed because that has been identified as a trigger for a tantrum. However, Toki has and can be put in 10-minute increment time outs to calm down from a fit or if the band needs to address someone else first. (Like, if Toki punched Skwisgaar in the nose, Toki knows he's not suppose to do that, so he gets put in time out while Skwisgaar gets his nose checked out.)

🧸 Murderface loves to teach Toki when he's regressed because he will sit and listen to him about everything. EVERYTHING! Even the most boring war battle facts, he will sit and listen. Pickles is a little worried about this because Toki is even more impressionable when he's regressed. He doesn't think Murderface would take advantage of Toki like this, but he isn't a fool. (Murderface would but only small things, like picking dinner plans.)

🧸 Murderface is also the only one that can play with Toki one-on-one the longest before it stresses Toki out. Murderface's improv during play time is funnier and more creative than the other members, but when it becomes too much improv, that's when it stresses him out and they have to stop. But before that, Toki is having the time of his life.

🧸 Toki refers to Pickles and Nathan as Mamma and Pappa. I believe that Toki had to refer to his parents in Norwegian as Mor/Far (Mother/Father) all of the time, but in English he just calls them Mom/Dad because it's easier to say. But Mamma and Pappa are informal terms and mean a lot more to Toki role-wise. They're like badges of honor. They earned those names by being the caregivers they are, before and after AOTD.

🧸 He wants all of the kisses! Forehead kisses, cheek kisses, head kisses, bed time kisses, good bye kisses, good morning kisses, hello kisses. He craves physical affection. And every time he gets a kiss, he stims happily. I also think he rubs that part of himself that got kissed because it "tingles" and he has to touch it.

🧸 After discussing whether Toki would use a crate or not, I think I like the idea of him having a permanent pillow fort in the corner of his room for when he wants some alone time the most. Or to decompress. Or if he's tired and wants to nap. Though, I am still down with the dog crate idea. Or the little kiddy tent! I love them all, honestly!

🧸 They have a playground installed on Mordhaus just for Toki. He loves the swing and will swing (or be pushed) for hours if you let him. He has gone through multiple swings in a short amount of time because of how much he swings. (This is projection. I have broken 4 swings due to swinging so much.)

🧸 Skwisgaar has inside jokes with Toki when he's small and only in Swedish. Toki giggles so hard when he gets a chance to whisper one of them to Skwisgaar that he almost cant get them out.

🧸 Toki has a bed time routine that he has to follow when he's small (with the help of his bandmates) because it helps him regulate his emotions and builds structure. The routine is simple: brush teeth, brush hair, wash face, go potty, get changed, pick out a bed time story, climb into bed. Nathan is the official bed time reader, but the band is usually with him when he's falling asleep. He needs his goodnight kisses otherwise he will be upset.

🧸 Toki loves having sleep overs in the other guys rooms. He loves Nathan's rooms the most because of the aquariums (low sensory, calming, general interest), then it's Murderface's because of the different devices in his room (low simulation and attention, general interest), then it's Skwisgaar's room because he has the window so he can see all the stars at night, then it's Pickles room. However, Pickles room is the coziest in Toki's opinion because Pickles is there, and he loves Pickles very much. He knows on one is going to get him in Pickles room.

🧸 Skwisgaar knows very little on how to cook, but the times he does cook, he utilizes Toki as a taste tester for his dishes. They have similar pallets, so Toki can accurately depict the dishes intended taste. Skwisgaar always sets him on the table and spoon feeds him whatever he is cooking (usually soup or stew) and asks for his opinion. Toki loves it and always asks for Skwisgaar to feed Deaddy Bear too.

🧸 Toki's age regression is public knowledge. He is unable to control when he regresses, so he has public appearances where he is regressed. This unfortunately meant that Toki had to address it to the press, despite Toki feeling uneasy about answering questions. They all know that the press love to ask intimate and personal questions, even if it makes him uncomfortable. The band and Charles were off to the side supporting him through out the whole press conference. After the initial interview, Charles would be the only one answering questions about Toki's regression, so that 1) Toki wouldn't have to do it and 2) Charles can't be bullied into giving out too much private information on the matter, he's a professional. This was greeted with mixed results at first but gradually turned positive as more information was readily understood by the public.

🧸 The Dethmoms have wavering opinions about Toki. Anja does not acknowledge it, or at least tries very hard not to acknowledge it. Toki does become scared around her when he's little and she knows that. Stella thinks most of it is made up and he's just looking for attention, but she does not outright ridicule Toki to his face. She'll play along for the sake of keeping him quiet. Servetta does not have an opinion either way, but she does like to dote on him from time to time (head pats, petnames) when she's able to get him to do something for her. Molly does not like it one bit and will not play along. She has gotten mad at Toki before and has "called him out" for it, but only to be met with 0 back up (Stella understands enough that Toki isn't her child, so it's not her place to call him out, only Anja's.) Rose is the only one in the group that absolutely adores Toki. She's read every book, every blog post, every piece of literature to try and make herself a safe space for Toki. Toki in return looks forward to seeing Rose and will ignore everyone in favor of her. Rose gives him all of the sugary sweet lovings that the boys can't quite give him, so they let him be coddled and coo-ed at from her. (Nathan isn't jealous of this at all.)

🧸 Toki has been known to hang out with Charles while he works. Sometimes he's as quiet as can be, completely oblivious to whatever Charles is doing. However, Toki has sat in Charles lap before just wanting to cuddle while Charles is on a phone call or web meetings. He has made multiple appearances during zoom meetings of just cuddling Charles or sleeping on his shoulder. The other members of the meeting have taken a regressed Toki in a meeting as a "Good Luck Charm" for whatever future endeavors they are about to talk/negotiate/revise about. They've even moved meetings forward/backwards with future partners when Charles has Toki in his lap because they have so much faith in his "Good Luck Charm" ability.

🧸 Charles has a board in his office just for drawings that the band has made while regressed. 95% of them are Toki's drawings though.

🧸 Abigail is still a big part of Toki's life, both regressed and not. I believe after the Metalocalypse, Abigail and Nathan did have a serious conversation about everything where Nathan apologizes for his behavior. Abigail accepts and the group + Abigail form a friendship. But a lot of it is between Toki and Abigail, where Abigail is able to take care or calm Toki down much easier and much faster than any one of them. Toki will wake up from nightmares demanding to call her to make sure she's ok, which she always answers. She understands Toki very well, and most of their time spent together is in quiet tranquility. He mainly just wants to cuddle with her and rest, sometimes babbling about stuff but most of the time is quiet. He finds comfort in her and she will lend him something that smells like her to calm him down if need be.

🧸 It's common to leave baby's outside to nap in Scandinavian countries like Norway and Sweden. When Toki wants to nap, he will ask to go outside and sleep on a blanket, which the band allows. However, when he wants to do it during the winter where there is snow, the band argues back with him, except Skwisgaar. He has to tell them that this is completely normal for Scandinavian children. He buys Toki the appropriate wear clothes and sleeping bag, and lets Toki take a nap outside in the snow. Skwisgaar will either join him or be near by to calm the rest of the bands nerves, especially Pickles.

🧸 Very very very few klokateers are allowed to care for Toki in the place of the band or Charles. Out of all of the klokateers, these people have to go through an extensive and grueling interviewing processes to get the position. Toki knows exactly who these klokateers are and understand that if Charles allows them to care for him, then they can be trusted. These klokateers also have the most amount of pressure on them. While their position won't kill them like other positions, if they betray the trust of Charles by hurting Toki, they are signing themselves up for a world of pain unlike they have ever known. Death would be too kind for those who hurt Toki when he is small.

🧸 Toki is also a biter. He likes to bite and nibble on people for attention. It doesn't hurt unless he uses his canines.

🐰🐝🎸🎮🤡🐱🍭✈️🛼🎹🖍️🍼🍺💉🎁🤠🏎️🔫👯‍♂️🪽🌈🤮

Ok, that's all for now! I hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed putting them down. Obviously, my word isn't law so if you HC Toki differently than any of these, it's all good. In fact, I wanna read about them, lol! So yeah, thanks xxx

metalocalypse pride icons part 5: nathan explosion!

bi agender (combo flag by @tuskact5)

[tokiwarcube]

You can’t tell if its his body heat seeping into you making you hot, or if its the intensity of his movements stoking the flames. Nathan Explosion is a big man, not just in stature, but in presence. It manifests in the brutal growls he lets forth on stage, and in the firmness of his movements as he guides your hips to rock against his own behind the stage curtain. He’s all-consuming in the best way possible, leaving nothing in your head except for him. The cheering of the crowd outside dulls to an idle drone, all cheers for an encore ignored. Instead, your mind focuses on the broadness of his shoulders, how plush yet unmoving he is against you, and how despite the sweltering heat you still want — need — him closer. You gasp for air as you part, saliva connecting you for the briefest of moments before you dive straight back into the ocean that is Nathan.

The show might be over, but not for you.

[ir0n-moon]

Dethklok + random things I think they've never experienced

Nathan: Having to get an orthodontic device (braces/retainer/etc.). His canon aversion to dentists probably started when he was very young! It's sensory hell for him, and I imagine that visiting the dentist as a kid constantly ended in tears, wails and panic; at some point his parents must have agreed to a truce. Luckily for him, his teeth weren't all that crooked to begin with, so it wasn't unreasonable for him to do without braces and just try to have a decent hygiene.

Pickles: Owning a pet— and therefore experiencing the loss of it. His parents would never allow him to have anything that would bring him happiness. Mordhaus has got yard wolves, sure, but I don't think he's all that involved in their care (I, like others, assume it's Skwisgaar who's closest to them). In fact, I headcanon that he used to have a phobia of cats, but Twinkletits helped him overcome it during PerformanceKlok. Anyway yeah this man has no clue what it's like to love and be responsible for a domestic animal.

Murderface: Receiving an award at school for anything. Not for sports, not for attendance, not for any after-school club, and certainly not for academic achievement. You'd think he might have been voted "Most likely to [whatever mean thing]" in the yearbook, but the sad truth is that he wasn't even acknowledged beyond his student photo among the rest of his classmates. (Note: I've never lived in America so I don't know how yearbooks actually work. I'm only going off of what I've seen in movies).

Skwisgaar: Having his mom attend any of his school events. Plays, Christmas shows, bake sales, probably even graduation— Serveta was nowhere to be found, as she was probably too "busy". She hasn't even attended a single Dethklok concert, not even while they're playing in Sweden.

Toki: Licking the spoon when someone is baking. Whatever sad, ascetic dishes were available to his family during his childhood, I doubt he was ever allowed to hang out nearby while they were being cooked, let alone offered to have a taste. In the present, he doesn't do it either, because it's never even occured to him to ask. And Jean Pierre is much too professional to offer the spoon himself, anyway.

[dichromaticdyke]

mtl episode where for diversity and inclusion reasons charles makes the band put their pronouns in their email signatures. Nathan's are "he or whatever", pickles' are "he but not in a cis way" toki uses "han/ham" and ends up getting in a fight w/ murderface over neopronouns (murderfaces are nor/mal) and skwisgaar refuses to uses pronouns bc you may not refer to them

FUCKING HELP LKAHFLKSDFH

[romeoeatzkorn]

URGH I HATE IT HERE!!!111!!!!1!!111111 (Lie) Toki looks weird and that upsets me >:(

+ Close ups under the cut

[chewing-drywall]

WHAT THEY ARE AS ANIMALS (in a fursona humanoid body animal head way)

Skiwsgaar

-cream coated doberman with ears cropped, still has complex feelings about his mom doing that to him

OR a cat he's very cat-coded to me

Muderface

-ram, he would look better if he actually maintained his coat and polished his horns.

-chipped and scratched horns from one too many benders

Or a hog maybe

Nathan

-just a bigass grizzly bear, look at this man and tell me he wouldn't be anything else, he already snores like a bear anyways

-OR OR OR LIKE A FUXKING CROCCADILE TAHTS COOL BUT HED BE BALD AS FUCK

Pickles

Lizard of some sort, enough that he'd always have a heat lamp in every room,

Gecko? Moniter lizard?

Toki

Draft horse, he was used for labour in his childhood and he's still jacked in adulthood despite no noticeable workout routine

Please give me yalls ideas I'd LOVE to see your guys personal headcannons

[m3gahet]

My iPads dying so I gotta draw the other boys once it’s charged more which is infuriating

[junkh3ad]

So…

Im in the mood for some angsty Pickles headcanons. Send me your angsty Pickles headcanons.

Angst is my passion. Angst is my life. Let’s begin…

1. I think, as a young adult Pickles is very self loathing, a cesspool of toxic coping mechanisms combined with his ever present alcohol abuse. He’s rough, he’s wild, he gets into fist fights at bars and stumbles his way around couch surfing or living in punk houses. But on those rare occasions where he’s alone and completely sober, he just lets it all out. He’s trashing the living space he’s in. He’ll hit himself, curse himself for being such a disgrace that his own mother couldn’t find it in her heart to love him. He’s like a tornado ripping through a lonesome home, leaving nothing but splintered wood left behind. And once it’s all over and he’s puffy eyed and dissociative he’s packs his shit, steals what he can from the people he lives with and hitch hikes to a new town to start the cycle all over again.

Early Dethklok days for Pickles is a cycle of partying, self loathing and a less intense rage that mostly is contained to his person. He’s self destructive and Nathan will have to continually restrain the smaller man from hurting himself somehow in his drunken rage fits. It’s always something he’s ashamed of afterwards, avoiding his best friend for days to hide that said shame.

When he’s older a lot of these tendencies stay. He’s not quick to anger anymore but when he gets angry he’s a totally different person. He’s had to be restrained before for sure by klokatiers after someone pissed him off, but usually he’ll calm down shortly after his outburst and apologize. maybe.

Sorry this took so long for me to answer anon, my grandmother passed in october and we also found out my dad needed open heart surgery (which was done today! he’s recovering well) so i haven’t been on Tumblr too often.

[twigg96]

Hi, can I please get headcanons on how each band member handles their wedding day and how they react to their bride walking down the aisle? Also, headcanons for what their wedding song would be?

Hello my sweet anon! You absolutely can have some wedding day HCs!!! I hope you like them!

Nathan- is a complete mess of a man on his wedding day. His shirt is not pressed. He’s worried the lapel on his suit is the wrong shade of cyan. He’s death gripping the chair’s arms as his hair stylist does his hair so he doesn’t pick at the polish Skwisgaar has reapplied for the 12th time that day. He’s paced a nice little track in the carpet of the hotel room he’s staying in for their destination wedding. When he’s finally usher to the front of the alter. The space neatly decorated by his partner and their bridesmaids. He’s supremely impressed considering they set out to decorate while heavily drunk during the bridal shower last night. The anxious thought crosses his mind that maybe. His partner would be too drunk or rather too hung over to show up to the wedding. But Pickles, his best man squeezed his shoulder reminding him to stay in the moment. With the start of Canon in D Nathan stared at the end of the aisle watching as his partner's bride's maids came walking down one by one before their maid of honor walked proudly standing in her placed opposite Pickles. She smiled and winked at Nathan giving him a quick thumbs up as the little flower girl and ring bearer stumbled their way up the aisle to the oohs and awes of the crowd. The little flower girl completely forgetting to toss the petals in her basket until she reached Nathan's calf. Suddenly the little girl tossed the basket to the ground and clung to his suit pants hiding away from the prying eyes of the crowd. Nathan couldn't help but chuckle at the little girl's antics. But as his partner stepped into view, their beautiful white gown swirling around their feet as they stood at the end of the aisle looking through their veil at him... Nathan thought his heart had stopped and he had died. And maybe for a second he did... But as the wedding march began to play Nathan was dragged back to reality. Nathan wanted to cry and run to his partner and keep them all to himself all at the same time. But he knew they would absolutely kill him if he did that so he did his best to be patient... and thank god he did. The wedding went off without a hitch despite his initial fears. He got mother fucking married to the person of his dreams! He couldn't be more happy! The reception was a fucking blast! The party of all parties. He ate his favorite foods drank his favorite liquor and had his picture taken more than a thousand times. For their first dance Nathan chooses "Love You To Death" By Type O Negative. He finds the song enchanting in a way he can't find words to describe. He also loves how brutally awesome the song is and loves the band as a whole.

Pickles - As much as he loved being the center of attention... he really hated the idea of traditional weddings and ceremonies. To him a wedding was just the government's way of controlling two people's relationship... but his partner really wanted one so here he was in a monkey suit and a tie standing in the back room... might have actually been a broom closet if he really looked close enough... of the local church. His partner was getting ready with the help of literally all of their friends on the other side of the door. He could hear them all giggling out there. He wasn't allowed to see his bride before the wedding. Stupid superstitions... it wasn't like he and his partner weren't fucking regularly before then anyway. But whatever made his partner happiest this was their day after all... well their day but Pickles loved and respected his partner enough to let them have control of most everything for the ceremony as long as he could get an open bar at the reception. Pickles sighed looking to the watch on his wrist. Another 5 minutes and he got to come out to piss before the ceremony. Leaning up against the wall he sighed letting the reality of his situation wash over him. Holy fucking shit... he was getting married to the love of his life. Then suddenly he remembered... they invited Seth and his family to the wedding. His eyes popped open the the dank musty closet he was in as he cursed under his breath. He remembered begging his partner not to send his families invites but they insisted on sending at least Seth's since the two of them seemed to be getting along better now. They weren't entirely wrong... He and Seth had managed better now that Seth had a kid of his own. But still, he wasn't excited for family time after the ceremony. Five minutes passes faster than he realized as Nathan opened the door with a shit eating grin letting him rush to the bathroom before ushering him to the front of the little church to stand like a Ken doll to be ogled at. There were less people than he expected there would be but then again when he insisted small wedding his partner must have taken it to heart. On the right were his partner's loved ones, their friends, and their bride's maids. To his left sat Seth, Amber, and Little Man, Nathan, Murderface, Toki, and Skwisgaar. Officiating was Charles standing right by his side the biggest and proudest smile on his face Pickles had ever seen. Pickles couldn't help the sob that ripped through him when everything started. It was all so real and happening so fast. His bride stood at the back of the church looking like an angel and here he was blubbering like an Wisconsin Moron. He couldn't help himself. Rushing to their side he held out his arm to escort them down the aisle. "Love the color on ya, Sticks." He whispered winking as the two walked hand in hand together up the aisle. The wedding was amazing, better than Pickles ever could imagine. The ceremony was fast and to the point, perfect for his ADHD brain to comprehend. Something he suspected Charles had planned for. The reception was a blast. The best live music played intermittently with the DJ that played inside a sectioned off +18 area where various drugs and alcohol were being served. Dinner was Irish Stew. Pickles favorite and a staple from his childhood when his grandma made it (a recipe from the old country). His choice in wedding song is Pantera’s Cemetery Gates. Not exactly what everyone is expecting when they think of a love song but hey! He and his partner look happy as they dance alone in the center of the firehouse.

Murderface - this boy has sweat through two dress shirts while waiting for official to arrive. The wedding hasn’t even started and his groomsmen are frantically rushing all over the room trying to find cool towels, mint tea, and an extra anxiety medicine to calm the bassist. His soon to be wife had slept in the same hotel room as him as his separation anxiety was too much for him to go a night without them for too long. They were going with an “uncouth” color pallet. Black and red. His partner’s dress was a pitch black and their flower choice was red roses dyed with black ink dripped on the petals. One of which was delicately pinned to his lapel, a difficult feat for his best man Pickles who pricked himself more than once trying to keep up with him. As the music played indicating that it was time William stepped through the door and was immediately floored. His partner stood at the head of the alter already ready. They had practiced this. The reversal of roles. William would walk up the aisle and his blushing bride would stand with their veil pulled waiting on him. But still he was blown away at the sight all the same. His heart beating a thousand miles an hour. He felt shaky and sick in a good way. His wife looked devilishly stunning. The wedding was beautiful and amazing. He would have married his partner a thousand times over had the chance. The reception was held in the basement of Murderface and his partner’s favorite bar. It was where they first met. The bar was popping all night serving drinks to loud crowd. At the center of it all the pair danced to Killswitch Engage- The End of Heartache.

Toki- the Norwegian has been dreaming of this day his whole life. Well… adult life. He loved his partner more than anything in the whole universe. So when his partner said they wanted to have a traditional wedding Old Norse Wedding like he did was just icing on the cake. They got married on Frigga’s day (Friday) and got Frigg’s and Odin’s blessings the morning of the marriage before going their separate ways to get ready. His bride went with her bridesmaids to the local bathhouse and sauna to preform the Maiden Ritual in which they washed away her maiden hood. Instead of a veil she wore a flower crown made from the children in her family. Toki undergoes the sword ceremony. Attended by his married family members he would steal a sword from one of his dead family members graves to take with him to the ceremony. The sword was placed there by one of Toki’s loved ones and symbolizes his death as a boy and rebirth as a married man. Once the women are finished at the bathhouse Toki would travel by foot to the bathhouse and bathe in the same water to cleanse himself of his bachelor status. Both the bride and Toki would dawn their ceremonial paint symbolizing protection and the blessings of the gods. At the ceremony along with flowers they each would bear swords. Toki and his love would exchange swords as a sign that he and his partner’s family was now one. Afterwards there would be a giant feast with all the food and booze anyone could ever imagine. Despite there not needing a wedding song Toki insisted they dance. He chose Fall into Me - by Peyton Perrish. Even if it’s not traditional Norse he wanted something with a little metal to tie in the old with the new in his life.

Skwisgaar- He is hesitant to get married at first. After all the bumps he and his partner has shared in their relationship he wasn’t quite sure if they were ever going to be ready… hell he didn’t know if HE was ever going to be ready. It after a long debate he decided he couldn’t live without his partner and made the commitment. However as he stood at the alter he debated on bolting. His feet were ice cold in their white suede shoes. His white suite was pristine but he felt like he was naked in front of the extra large crowd he insisted on inviting. “If we ams getting married we ams getting married in style!” He fidgeted with the flowers on the stand then on his lapel all while his best man tried to calm him finally asking “do you want to marry them at all?” He didn’t know how to answer that. He did. But he was… scared. As the songs started he had to take a breath and stepped out to the gasping of the audience. Fifteen minutes passed and most of his stomach contents now laid at the bottom of the church’s trash can that sat outside. He never got stage fright damn it he gave it! Standing up he strode back in on wobbly legs. His partner’s bridesmaids stood in position watching him with venom in their eyes as he took his place. “Ready…” he muttered popping a mint into his mouth. As his partner’s maid of honor ran down the aisle glaring all the way he knew. He fucked up. Seconds later his bride stood in the aisle makeup smeared from crying but smile big as ever on their face. “Where did you go?” They asked once they reached his side sniffling as if they didn’t just have a breakdown in the back room. Skwisgaar sighed feeling small. “Just got blinded by the starlight baby.” The rest of the wedding went off without a hitch despite the photos taken with the bridesmaids glaring at Skwisgaar like he committed the worse sin. The reception was held outside in a beautiful vista next to a winery. Skwisgaar hosted wine tasting. The song he chose for the first dance is Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine a black metal power ballad that he loves for the sick riffs and sings to his heart.
