Stupidly cute smile

My own silly headcanons:
Has put on weight, he’s not used to fighting with it.
Napoléon likes to steal pop-it’s and water wigglers from the gift shop. He always has to have something in his hands to fidget with- normally it’s his gloves or a snuff box or taking apart and cleaning his pistol. Now that he has access to modern fidgets, he likes to taking the green ones.
He also really likes clicking mechanical pencils
He loves inventions that make life better in little ways. Canning food was invented in his life (he’s actually the one who offered a prize of 12,000 francs to improve the food preservation methods that existed at the time which led to canned food being invented) but there was no simple way to open the cans. He loves can openers- taking them with the promise of returning them to just take apart and put back together.
If your gossiping, he obviously eavesdrops. Napoléon cans and will butt into your conversation about someone and listen like you’re saying the most interesting thing in the world. If he can’t come over to you, he will do the lead paint stare at you.
Still acts like he’s emperor.
Originally thought the average height of humans gained a lot of height. He was envious up until he learned whoever created his mold got his height wrong and he’s 5’2”, not 5’7”, then, Napoléon was just pisssed off.
He loves to infodump about his victories and will call over his men to help act them out, sneaking small fibs in to make himself look even better than he already does. If you ask him about his losses, you’ll only get a stare in return and a quick “Non”. (Credit @frombottlealleytotheharbor)
“Hey, do you remember [insert battle he lost]? What was it like?”
“…Non.”
“But… weren’t you there?”
He starts walking away. “Non.”
“But—“
“NON!”
He gets into fights with Al because Al is someone who clearly doesn’t respect him. The Capone trio love to tease him - especially Frank and Al. Ralph watches with a grin, which is somehow even more infuriating to Napoléon.
Sometimes getting out of his box, he looks like a well-loved stuffed animal. It takes him a moment to get himself together.
Loves watching true crime and reality TV shows. Isn’t the biggest fan of Horror movies.
Somehow got his hands on a cigarette, absolutely died after one puff. Napoléon threw it onto the ground and stomped off coughing, vowing to never do it again.
He’s so very envious that Al and Ralph had even a bit of time with their sons while they were alive. François Charles was born after the time he was made, and it makes Napoléon feel so homesick and want his kid- one that he doesn’t even know. He absolutely adores Louis Napoleon, who he only met a few times.
Loves ABBA, originally he disliked, but he's grown to like it now that he knows the meaning
I gave him his Laurel wreath just because I thought they were cool and also to show that he's still very pompous and full of himself.
Unfortunately no doodles, I haven't had time!
Étienne Champenois belongs to @lidensword and Gustave Bréant belongs to @all-yn-oween
Frank, Al, Ralph

So I had a hilarious moment in Skyrim where Neb and Lucien started fighting, because Neb had presumably been hit by friendly fire from an attack by Lucien... But hey, given the ice spikes, I would have said Tally but maybe Neb needed a reason to bash an Imperial.
Taliesin : ...Should someone tell him it was me, or?
Lucifer : Nah.
So here it is, after a few blows of the sword, Lucien, determined not to let himself be done, retaliates with great blows of magic.
...Which sends Nebarra flying into the ashes, for the first time.
But Nebarra is stubborn and does not let himself be dismantled for "so little". After all, he's fighting an Imperial, he's already fought a number of them two decades ago. It's about his honor, I suppose.
But racial slurs don't sit well with Lucien.
He remains polite but his gaze is worth all the speeches in the world. Obviously, Nebarra, blood heated by the fight, continues on its momentum.
Inigo : He shouldn't go after my friend Lucien. He has become a very powerful mage. Maybe he'll even turn him into a Mudcrab, eventually.
...And Nebarra, once again, took a tumble head over heels in the ashes, catapulted away by the impact of a powerful spell.
Seeing the Altmer struggling to get up and climb to meet Lucien who was quietly regenerating his life, Xelzaz asked him, a little pity in his voice, pointing to the bloody wound that smeared his shoulder.
Xelzaz : Do you need help with that gash, Nebarra ?
...before rolling again in the ash, under the jaded gaze of the Argonian.
Xelzaz : *deep sigh*
Apart from a few small cries of pain, Lucien did not open his teeth, but in his eyes you could read the determination not to let himself be walked on. Maybe even Lucien really realized his potential, his ability to really fight?
Lucifer : ...Your last words ? Lucien seems fine.
Remiel : Do you think we should help Neb?
Xelzaz : No.
Remiel : Do you think they have a long time yet? Night will soon fall.
Auri : I find their fight very entertaining.
Remiel : True, but I wouldn't want us to be surprised by vampires.
Xelzaz : If Nebarra only knew when to stop...
Taliesin : Wow, that was low. Even if for him this fight is cathartic, it's far from delicate...
Lucien : My mother fought in the great war too! I won't put her to shame!
Inigo : Nice one my friend ! I think you broke your throwing record !
Nebarra : *hand clenched on the hilt of his sword, unable to get back on his feet*
Lucien : *after quickly healing himself* Ah ! That's was exhilatating ! Should we go back to Raven Rock ?

listen as much as I LOVE the current trend of anime OPs being able to stand as their own singles for radio play, anime OPs in the 90s were just built different
"don't make me wild like you" (ranma 1/2)? a bop neverending
"in the night" (key the metal idol)? beautifully atmospheric
"hohoemi no bakudan" (yu yu hakusho)? eternal
"give a reason" (slayers next)? perfect and on almost every playlist I ever make
"catch you catch me" (cardcaptor sakura)? so catchy and so visually iconic it rewired a lot of our brains in middle school
"rondo revolution" (revolutionary girl utena)? don't even talk to me I'll never stop
"moonlight densetsu" (sailor moon)? of course no one can ever forget or ignore the classic
"cruel angel's thesis" (neon genesis evangelion)? (warning for rapid image flashes) so iconic a convention in 2006 I attended had to ban it from karaoke because so many people kept singing it
they do not make anime OPs like this anymore and I miss that. Love the music we have now but it's not the SAME do you undersTAND ME-
