#tw: adam bashing

[seramilla]

Imagining Emily just staring out of the window at the training ground of excorcists.

Sera: Emily, what are you doing?

Emily sighs, oblivious to the world's around her. Sera raises an eyebrow and goes to look out of the window.

There is Lute, dressed in training outfit, that consists of a training bra and shorts, fighting 5 of her colleagues. Sera finally notices a lost look on Emily. Oh, she recognises that one.

Also, I can't help it, when ideas strike, they strike. You don't have to answer them today. 🙃

Sera is racking her brain, trying to remember where she's seen this particular Exterminator before, when she realizes this one is Adam's second in command. She almost falls over in horror at the prospect of Emily pining after her.

Sera: "Emily. Are you serious? That one?!"

Emily, startled: "Oh, Sera! I didn't see you! Don't mind me! I was just, umm...just aaahhh...seeing how the new recruits were faring!"

Sera: "From where I'm standing, your eyes were only on one angel."

Emily, awkwardly: "Oh...oops....yeah...sorry? I guess? You caught me."

Sera, taking in a deep breath: "I know we talked about this. I told you about Carmilla, and we agreed your attraction to women would be between us... But please, Emily, please, for the love of all that is holy, reconsider that one!"

Emily: "I can't control who I like, Sera! You couldn't help falling in love with Carmilla, could you?"

Sera, pausing for several seconds and groaning under her breath: "...Touché."

[contrivedchaos]

So I had an idea where basically Sera and Lucifer are friends, frenemies or siblings. So they actually talk to each for non work stuff fairly regularly. They are in position in the universe really the only people they are equal to each other Lucifer ruler of hell and Sera ruler or administrator of Heaven so they talk to vent. Lucifer keeps trying to send her some of the most annoying sinners and she keeps offering to trade Adam for them. This is also how Lucifer got Charlie a meeting he didn't threaten Sera with a rebellion or something he just called and asked as a favor of his dear sister/friend or whatever and she said yes. They have a little contest who had the last say month worse Lucifer is in hell but he doesn't have to do all the day to day work Sera does plus she has to live with adam so it gets pretty close.

Guaranteed Sera wins that game the majority of the time. Dealing with Adam is its own kind of personal Hell.

And definitely, Luci is very charming and charismatic. I can see him trying to maintain some kind of professionalism with Heaven just for the fact that there is so much confusion about what actually causes souls to end up in his realm. He could definitely be able to call up a favor for Charlie despite being banned himself.

[seramilla]

I see so many people treat Sera like a villain for allowing the Exterminations, being a hypocrite (which she definitely is!), giving Adam free rein to do what he does, etc. But honestly, these opinions are so fraught and miss the point entirely. Why does Lucifer get a pass for allowing the same things to protect Charlie, but not Sera? These images quite literally show she's in the same position as Lucifer -- she is doing everything within her power to protect Emily from Lucifer's fate. She was most likely there when he was forced out, she witnessed how horrible Heaven treated him, and she's specifically taking steps to protect her sister from the same fate. Call that evil, hypocritical, highly problematic, because it is! But I also call that love.

I couldn't bear to see you suffer that fate.

Adam

TW: NSFW, dubcon/noncon, abuse of power

fem reader

To all the people in my inbox, yes, I watch Hazbin Hotel, and yes, we can talk about Alastor, Valentino, Vox, Husk, and Lucifer.

But first, I’d be lying if I said Adam isn’t living in my head rent-free with his entitled, loud-mouthed ass and his sheer disregard for absolutely everyone around him. 

Not to mention his ownersickness.

He’s genesis – the onset of all humanity – and believes everyone is beholden to him because of that – that everyone should fall to his feet and kiss his balls and thank him for their origins.

He treats new angels like a free-for-all eat-all-you-can buffet – like a harem of only the purest sinless samples. Because who wouldn’t feel a little bashful being comforted by the first man after an untimely death – welcomed to heaven and congratulated on a life lived in virtue?

Your cheeks heat up as he flirts with little ol’ you as if you’re not just one of the many million people he plans on corrupting.

And he’s such a big deal in heaven, too. Those big balls have a lot of sway, and he swings them and his dick around at every turn. 

So just imagine if you try to deny him. I mean, he’s Adam. Everyone has him to thank for their lives, and it’s in death that you should all pay your dues.

So, if he says he wants you, you don’t have the right to tell him no.

And the unfairness makes you feel so helpless – nihilistic despite being in heaven. thinking back to the many times on earth when you’d question the existence of god only to persevere. Kept to your morals through it all, remained vigilant in your belief – only to now question if your God really deserved it when he allows injustice even here, in the fucking promised land.

And having been left by both Eve and Lilith, Adam's become a woman-hating misogynist with incel rage that has stewed since The Creation – and so keeps you locked in his suite like a pet. 

He throws his mask off when he comes home, disrobes, and walks about as he’d done in Eden – and says it’s just as much a sin to oppose the first man as it is to oppose God himself when he demands that you strip and get on the bed. 

He’s never gracious, even when you obey – he takes you how he wants – with your ass up and your face down and his hand pressing down on your back between your wings – licking his lip when you wince and whimper, taking every inch of his fat cock in your tight cunt while your pearl-white feathers ruffle and shiver like a baby-bird who’d fallen from the nest. 

Sometimes, he’ll threaten to banish you down to hell if you don’t worship him like the good little Christian you aspire to be. After all, heathen whores who don’t stick to their prayers don’t have a place in heaven.

Adam from DGM, pretty please!

Tw: Yandere themes, possessive behavior, obsession, clinginess

Quick, little Hc's

🎃​He is always a little bashful in his human form when he is around his darling. He may not express this verbally but his hands start fidgeting, his fingers twitching as he tries to suppress the jitters he has, especially if he knows that you are still uncomfortable. Often it results in him loosening the tie he is wearing or crinkling the shirt that he is wearing as a form of stress relief. Perhaps it is because other Noah are usually so well-dressed when they are around you but it starts to bug you a bit, especially when the entire clan gathers. It's honestly just a thoughtless action of yours when you smooth over the wrinkles on his shirt and straighten his tie for him to make him a bit more presentable but it is an action that has his heart flattering nontheless. It almost reminds him of something a couple that has been married for many years now would do regularly and perhaps this is exactly why he kind of wants you to do this for him again. It pretty much becomes a tradition for the two of you throughout the relationship that you always tie him his tie before special events and smooth out any wrinkles still visible on his suit. Adam can never help himself from pressing his lips against your forehead whilst you do so.

[ death ] :) after the hotel fight. - @originemesis

[ death ] sender just died, receiver finds out

Tw: death mention; Blood; Grief

Adam is Dead.

Unsurprisingly, Lucid was one of the last to know. The seraphim had been aware that Adam served as the Commander of one of Heaven’s armies, but never to the extent that it served. Had he known of the Extermination Day’s, Lucid would have been in hysterics long before this tragedy and pleaded with the angel to stop the genocide. Whether Adam knew that the sneaky angel was popping down to Hell like it was a weekend off, Lucid never knew. And likely would never know.

Walking the hall of the estate with his arms full of blue prints and several dream orbs, it was the rapid beat of wings approaching that alerted Lucid that something was up. A guard nearly bellowed him over, the seraphim ducking as a swift wing narrowly skimmed his head. The guard called out to several others up ahead, passing along the news of Adam’s demise loudly and for all to hear.

Lucid stiffened, the words ringing in his head. It felt as if someone took the wind out of not only his wings, but his very spirit. No…nonono that was not possible. Angels are incapable of “dying”. This had to be one of Adam’s prudish pranks! Dumping the items from his arms, Lucid teleported himself to outside the apartment of the First Man.

Rapping with a hard knock, Lucid called out. “Adam? You there? I gotta ask ya something important! And no it’s not a stupid question!” The blue angel was met with silence. Again, he knocked with the same hard knuckles against the door. “Adam. If this is one of your pranks it’s not funny. Stop pretending to not be there or dead and let me in.”

Nothing.

Lucid grew frustrated, cheeks puffing as his brow dropped in rising anger…and fear. “Adam! I’m coming in there! DoorDash my ass, I won’t bringing you your coffee for a week!” Into the apartment the seraphim teleports, walking around with intense purpose, shouting the First Man’s name. But the flat was dark and empty. Adam was not home.

His heart began to weigh heavy, and yet beat faster. The ring of Lucid’s halo increased, vibrating with an ever intensifying glow. Once more the angel teleported, this time directly to Sera’s office where the head seraphim stood. Before her already stood Lute, the exorcist visibly missing a freshly severed arm.

The image before him froze Lucid in his tracks.

On a large holographic screen lay the still body of the Commander of the Exorcists. Golden blood soaked into the crimson dirt, absorbing it greedily. It was as if the ground had longed for the dust of the First Man to at last return to it. Beaten and bashed, Adam no longer adorned his helmet, the face bloodied and bruised. But Lucid recognized him. The same face from the garden, the puffy brown locks that matched him untamable nature.

Starry tears slipped down the blue seraphim’s cheeks, mouth agape but no sound made. He couldn’t hear Sera telling him to leave, that Lucid was not to be there. It was Lute that forced his attention back as the bloodlusting exorcist charged him with a shriek. Lucid bore the face of the man that killed her Adam! Tables, chairs, and anything not anchored to the floor became collateral damage as Lute chased after Lucid around the room, screaming death threats endlessly at him. It was not until Sera put herself between the two that the chaos stopped, her bird-esq form flared and all eyes glaring wide. With an outstretched hand she pushed Lucid backwards, to which he fell to the floor of his own workshop.

Forcibly teleported, Lucid clutched to his chest and gasped for breath. Everything happened so fast, was any of it real? But the image of Adam’s lifeless body on the familiar ground of the Pride Ring still remained in his mind, clear as day. Grief took his heart gently, not violently. That soft nudge to tip Lucid’s emotions over the edge and pour out steadily. Curling into a ball on the floor, Lucid grasped at his head, chin his chest, and began to sob.

Adam is Dead…

TW for this chapter: Panic attacks, discussions of anxiety, panic attacks, and infidelity, allusions to sexual assault, and canon-compliant gay bashing (Sadie Hawkins).

Chapter snipper below:

“Dad went to bed,” he said softly and slid one of the mugs towards the chair across from him. Blaine sat and took a sip. Warm milk with caramel and a little bit of cinnamon.

“You didn’t have to wait up for me,” Blaine said.

“I wanted to make sure you were okay. I’ve never…I’ve never seen that look on your face before. You looked so startled and scared and your eyes went hazy. I tried to follow you, but Dad stopped me. Said you knew what to do.”

Blaine ran his thumb over the handle of the mug. He didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know how to explain.

“You called Sebastian, didn’t you?”

Blaine nodded weakly. “He helps,” he said quietly. “When I…when I have an attack. He talks me down from them. Grounds me.”

Kurt stared into his milk for a long time.

Blaine sipped anxiously at his own. He counted again. Things he could see, things he could hear, things he could feel and so on. Kurt watched him. Watched his eyes dart around the room as he did so. The way he pressed his palms into the grain of the table, ran his fingers across the rough texture of his jeans. 

“How long have you been having panic attacks?” He finally asked when Blaine looked calmer again.

Blaine shrugged. “Technically since Sadie Hawkins. But those were always incidental, set off by something obvious and they didn’t happen very often. But…they’ve gotten worse since October. More frequent, more difficult to handle, triggered by things I don’t expect.”

“Like coming here.”

“Like coming here,” Blaine confirmed.

[umflowers]

alright, dnc. alright. steph curry just endorsed kamala harris for president tonight, which i don't like that who celebs endorse can actually hold sway in our elections but it does so i'm grateful. the central park five (very famously wrongly convicted black men, tw for rape in the wiki article linked) spoke onstage in her favor. amanda gorman, the black teenager and first national youth poet laureate who infamously read a poem at biden's inauguration read a new poem tonight. and jimmy carter, a 99-year-old former president who's very well known for the fact that he lives a remarkably modest lifestyle and was building houses with habitat for humanity well into his golden years, who recently said publicly that he's staying alive to vote for kamala harris and keep trump out of office, showed up as the surprise guest speaker. alright, dnc. worth noting, on the flipside, that they're still completely avoiding talking about palestine and reacting with hostility and aggression to anyone who does. edit: one of the mothers of a victim of the uvalde shooting also spoke tonight. so did adam kinzinger, a former republican congressman who was voted out of the seat he'd held for 12 years for breaking the party line and bashing trump at every opportunity after the insurrection. less importantly, tmz is reporting beyonce's gonna be surprise performing tonight?? so ig if you're a fan keep an eye on that? edit edit: so did dl hughley.

TW depictions of torture/blood/violence/sadism. My boys are not ok

A radio static was heard, Alastor did not expect that.

Charlie: HUSBAND?! Dad, are you two okay?!

Adam, straightening his jacket: Why wouldn’t we be?

Lucifer: Oh I will be.

Alastor: Please-

Alastor tried to vanish in shadows when he saw the truly murderous look he had.

He couldn’t, however, because of his head being bashed to the floor in the blink of an eye. A loud radio static noise came out as that alone made small cracks on the floor.

Lucifer, smiling maniacally; I’m a man of my words.

He began punching and clawing Alastor, almost tearing his body apart in the progress.

Everyone except one certain sinner backed away horrified of what the usually nice king was doing. That said sinner had a smile on his face, he always wanted an excuse to have Alastor killed anyway.

Maybe he would join his husband later though, let him take his anger of that deer out. He just sat down nearby and watched his husband, he never got rusty.

Charlie: DAD!

She tried to get to him only to be stopped by Vaggie, she pointed at his delighted smile with a pure shocked and scared face.

Lucifer didn’t seemed to be hearing her or anyone else at all, as he kept sadistically hitting Alastor and throwing him around like a ragdoll over and over. At one point he ripped Alastor’s own arm and stuck it into his mouth before he forcefully made him eat his own hand.

While all of them were afraid to get close to Lucifer, Adam was so ridiculously nonchalant as if he saw this all the time.

Brutal King's Au @fanofstuff01

While the OG Adam and Lucifer were in their world, they were in the original world......

Adam was on a rampage, where were his boys??!

Adam: Boys! Come out right now!!

Lucifer was right behind him helping him look. Charlie came into the lobby seeing it trashed.

Charlie: ADAM!? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?!

Adam and Lucifer turned to look at her as if she lost her mind.

Adam: What did you just call me young lady!? You don't speak to me like that!

Lucifer: Who do you think you are Charlie? Apologize!

Charlie blinked, what did she do?

Charlie: What? You're destroying my hotel! Dad how can you let Adam do this?

Adam: Why do you keep addressing me like that!?

Charlie: That's.... Your name?

Adam: I am your Papa you don't fucking talk to me like that!

Charlie: ..... No you're not.

Adam was so frustrated! First he wakes up in this weak body and now this!? What the fuck was going on!

Alastor: I think Adam here has forgotten his place in this hotel.

Adam and Lucifer growled.

Adam: That's King Adam Morningstar to you freak!

Alastor; You? A King? Don't make me laugh.

He used his shadows to wrap around Adam and threw him into the wall.

Adam: Augh!

Alastor: I will rip you apart.

Lucifer growled and took out his full demon form: Not if I rip you apart first. NO ONE lays a hand on my husband and lives.

[seramilla]

So in the whole Emily x Vaggie x Charlie au. I assume early on Charlie and Emily both dislike each each other due to the whole being jealous over Vaggie part whenever one is affectionate to her in front of the other well we all remember how Vaggie reacted to Emily just holding Charlie's hand. It's an odd situation for all them cause at the moment both are and aren't Vaggie's girlfriend. The others have occasionally remind the two to focus on the whole stopping the exterminations part instead of disliking the other I can see Sera saying to Emily right now we need to stop the exterminations when that is done we can focus on getting your girlfriend back. I also think a few people will notice that the two are basically identical personality wise. (Vaggie seems to have a type there.)

Vaggie absolutely has a Type™️: overly optimistic Disney princess with aspirations too big for her britches and an emotionally distant parental figure. The resemblance is uncanny.

Sera would definitely be trying to get Emily to understand the importance of stopping the Exterminations first, because she may not have a girlfriend left to save if Vaggie is killed when Adam targets the hotel. Even though the events of "You Didn't Know" would have probably played out much differently with a previous Vaggie/Emily relationship, and she's probably resentful of Charlie for "stealing" Vaggie from her, Emily would still have to do anything she could to find a loophole or stop Adam, because Vaggie would only get caught in the crosshairs if she did nothing. Her morals wouldn't allow her to do that.

[contrivedchaos]

Lucifer and a deal meant to save people from extermination that accidentally leads to hellborn half-angels being yanked up to Heaven because then they're 'safe' from extermination.

Sera who expected baby Charlie, Lucifer and Lilith's baby, but still chastised Adam for stealing her up there because god this is going to end in warfare.

She did not expect the other two little girls that came up. ASking their names, asking who their angelic parent is. That what is your Daddy's name? Well no Daddy, okay what is Mommy's name?

Mommy? Of course. What does [X] call her?

The slow questioning and oh okay what do other people say? Charlie says Auntie 'Milla so Mommy's name must be Milla!

Sera nearly fainting, nauseous and terrified and suddenly realizing this backwards deal that the others managed is going to lead to a bigger war than even she expected.

(And the outright unwarranted feelings of betrayal looking in the eyes of the children of the woman she loved and feeling like she's failed her all over again.)

Oh damn, that's a twist! Heaven really is diabolical if they have a hidden clause that any innocent half-angel children have to be abducted from their parents. Even though Charlie and Carmilla's girls would be technically safe, I don't know how their parents would respond to that. Lucifer may initially think Charlie is better off and try to justify it, but Lilith and Carmilla are at his throat, trying to get him to undo the deal so they can get their girls back. The vengeance of mothers knows no equal.

Meanwhile, Sera is just taking charge of a bunch of children, and Emily is helping keep them calm while they figure out what to do. Adam and his goons really fucked up this negotiation big time, and it's just going to cause more trouble for them. Sera doesn't know how she's going to look Carmilla in the eye after this.

[hannahdra-ws]

is there a fic out there where it's like- Adam being Super Creepy, like for example he kisses Langa without his consent and and consequently gets his ASS KICKED by the gang

[whumpalicious08]

Guys I'm so weak for the whole attack dog/master dynamic.

⚠️ Guys TW for cigarette burns, water torture <?>, minor non con touching, minor Stockholm syndrome/trauma bonding ⚠️

Whumpee's naked chest moves in an uncoordinated manner; like his lungs are struggling to pull in adequate air and bashing against his ribcage in protest.

The cold, salty water Whumper drenches him in runs into his eyes and the open wounds he'd acquired on his most recent botched mission, making them sting and throb and burn; gasoline on a flame.

His whole body arches, quivers, ropes around his ankles and wrists tethering him to the steel chair below him even as he thrashes, head tilted back and mouth falling open in a agonising cry.

This is his penance more than it is his punishment.

His fingers, bound behind him, tremble like they're itching to rub over the bloody gashes and cuts, to alleviate some of the god-awful burn. His arms shake from the strain, aching and desperate to wrap around himself in a self-soothing guesture. His cries fade into whimpers, soft moans of discomfort.

He doesn't deserve any solace from the pain.

His breath hitches as he breathes in, once, twice, until he's gasping for air, making pathetic, desperate little sounds Whumper snarls at.

"You're a f#$%ing disgrace." Whumper snaps, irritable. His hand is at his side, almost manically rubbing against his expensive slacks; a small amount of water, brown with the blood and grime from Whumpee's body had splashed onto his skin. "Tell me, Whumpee, because I'm really curious." Whumper starts, digging in his pocket for a book of matches to light the cigarette between his lips. "Why the f#$% would I own a faulty gun?"

Whumpee knows Whumper too well to take the question as rhetorical. "You- you wouldn't, sir." He replies softly, through laboured breaths.

Whumper blows smoke out the side of his mouth, folds an arm over his chest. Whumpee watches the way it wrinkles his expensive suit, almost winces. "No, I wouldn't. So then, Whumpee, why do I own you?"

Whumpee hangs his head, tears pricking at his eyes.

They're Whumper's words, but this is Whumpee's own flagellation.

"Please." He whispers, cracked lips barely moving. "I can do better. I'll - I'll do better, sir."

Whumper snorts, walks closer, dress shoes sloshing noisily in the water pooled around the base of Whumpee's chair. The sound startles Whumpee; makes his heart race and fingers throb just thinking about scrubbing those shoes until his skin cracks and bleeds. "Then next time, don't f#$%ing miss." He pulls the cigarette from his mouth, presses it hard into whumpee's abdomen.

Whumpee screams, trying desperately to twist away from the pain but finding no respite. Whumper eyes the long line of Whumpee's throat as he shakes, straining and glistening with sweat and water and blood. He pulls the cigarette away and allows it to tumble to the floor, tangles a hand in Whumpee's hair and yanks his head back, watches his adam's apple bob with rapt attention. The way he goes limp in Whumper's hands, pliant, yielding; it makes Whumper's heart skip a beat, makes him disregards how angry he usually is to get dirt and gunk on his hands.

He leans down, lips brushing Whumpee's ear. "Or I'll have to show you how I deal with mechanical faults."

Guys this kind of got away from me it was supposed to be a short dialogue prompt 💀

Gareth Emerson Headcanons pt 2: Electric Boogaloo

These are once again written with the mindset of Gareth being 18+, not that there's any NSFW ones this time. With that being said, please if you are a minor, keep scrolling. I'm also sorry for the title but I couldn't not include that.

TW: Swearing, slight talk about homophobia in the 1980s and talk about political ideologies - nothing to bash them, just what political alignment I think Gareth would have. If you see any others I've missed, let me know and I'll add them.

There’s a good chance he’d have an alternative partner. He’s very intensely into the things he likes, so I can’t see him being interested in people who don’t have similar interests. Which is why I think his partner’s style would be alternative. Specifically, punk, if I can toss my two cents in. Regardless of gender or lack of gender, they’d have that big dyed and teased hair, a safety pin through their ear, maybe some facial piercings, the whole nine yards. They’d both love plaid. You can’t tell me he wouldn’t go feral seeing them in a mosh pit at a concert. He’d think it’s one of the hottest things he’s seen them do. He’d be amazed by your ability to walk in platform boots without breaking or spraining an ankle. And maybe a little turned on by it. I could also see him being with someone who isn’t all-out alternative. I don’t think the look has to be there for him. As long as you have similar morals and interests, he’d be down.

In a similar field, I don’t think he’s straight. He doesn’t have a label for his sexuality. Pretty men, handsome women and adorable non-binaries are all good with him. There’s a good chance that Eddie could have been his sexual awakening for men. Still, there’s also a good chance that it could be someone from Mötley Crüe, Lemmy Kilmister, K.K. Downing, or another band member in a band he likes. He thought he admired them for their music - until he had a wet dream or fantasy about them. He didn’t tell people about it right away; he’d know Hawkins isn’t the safest place to be out. When he feels comfortable telling people, he’d tell hellfire at a DND session. Everybody would accept him, even if they did not understand it. He’d tell his mom and siblings last (in case they don’t accept him), who automatically give him hugs and assure him that this doesn’t change their opinion of him in the slightest.

He’s a Scorpio. I know, I know, we don’t know his birthday. But it just makes sense. He’s got the resting bitch face down, he’s got the aggression that’s kinda really hot, and he has this passion to him that you tend to see in water signs. I am going based on other Gareth fics and head cannons for this, but he does seem very private to everyone except the people he trusts. You would not be able to tell if he likes someone until they’re brought into the friend group. It takes a bit to win him over, even after someone new is brought in. He knows what he wants and will eventually get it, which he is sure of every time. The scene that makes me think this the most is the scene when Jason is stepping on his hand. Gareth was adamant about not giving Eddie up. Mostly because he didn’t know where he was, but he could have told Jason places to look. They’re close friends, if not best friends. He’d have a good idea where Eddie was, not just that Dustin was looking for him and might have found Eddie. He only gave the Dustin part up when it became obvious that Jason wouldn’t stop until he had information and he assaulted him. It just gives me Scorpio vibes.

He and Eddie fucking gossip together. It’s like that stereotype of two teenage girls type of gossip. It is sometimes about music, but more often, it’s about what Eddie overhears when dealing. Eddie learns so much gossip from the different cliques as he deals to people in all of the cliques, and they just don’t care what’s said around him. He always reports back to Gareth and Gareth alone. None of the other Hellfire members are interested in his gossip. Eddie being Eddie lets himself into Gareth’s house as he’s babysitting his sisters to inform him of the latest gossip. “Gareth, you’ll never believe what Amanda was talking about with Stacy.” “What?” “Madison hooked up with Ryan at Tina’s party.” “NO!” “Yes!” “But she’s dating Christian.” “Oh, I’m very aware.” “Lunch is going to be interesting on Monday.” “That it will be Gareth the Great. That it will be.”

Can we talk about the dynamic of the older hellfire boys for a second: specifically their music tastes. They’re all obviously music lovers, music lovers of a ton of genres at that. But they all seem to have a bit of a different genre they fit into. Eddie is obviously our metalhead. It was harder to find in the 80s, but I think he’d also love international metal music. He’d be so excited to see Ramstein; it would give him many ideas for Corroded Coffin. Many of them are about fire, but he’d have a lot of ideas nonetheless. Jeff, I thoroughly believe, is more of a rock guy. I think he gets it from his parents. He’d have those cool, slightly younger, maybe teenage parent’s archetype. But Gareth, I fully believe he’s a punk lover. He loves the music, but he also aligns with the core ideologies of punks - like being very anti-establishment, vocal about the mistreatment of minorities, ACAB, anti-war, fuck Reagan, big on equal rights for all, etc. I don’t think he would be overly vocal about it, but he’d argue about it in class with other students and would make his beliefs known. Their music tastes would combine to make Corroded Coffin a genre-hopping metal band.

He’d throw hands for his partner if needed. Is he good at fighting? Honestly 50/50, but he does his best when it comes to his partner. I’ve mentioned him being overprotective before, and I think it comes from either being an only child to a single mom or the only brother to sisters. I think he has this ideology or mindset that even if you are perfectly able to stand up for yourself, it’s his job. It’s not in a toxic masculinity way, more of an I protect the people I love.

He’s not the best in school. He is smart, but I agree with the fandom that he has ADHD and has a hard time focusing on specific things for a prolonged time. He’d be great in a woodworking or shop class; he’d get to use his hands and brain and doesn’t technically have to follow a specific set of rules - even if he should. He’d make you tons of gifts, though. Like a really nice birdhouse, a floating picture frame, if you wear jewelry - a really nice jewelry box. This also makes me think he may go into carpentry for work or keep it as a hobby after Corroded Coffin takes off. I think he’d branch out and begin making guitars for people. He just loves working with his hands.

He is a short king. Apparently, Gwydion is 5’ 8, so he isn’t super short but isn’t the tallest, either. I love the video a fan posted of them carrying Gwydion at a con (also a huge thank you to said person if they ever see this). Gareth, with a taller partner, is an adorable thing. He’d fully take advantage of having a taller partner, piggyback rides, can you get this for me, how’s the weather up there etc. Totally uses your height to check out your boobs if you’ve got them and are comfortable with that. Puts up a fuss when you rest your arm on his shoulders. He actually does like it, but he also likes to tease and playfully harass you. He is the definition of the shorter you are, the closer you are to hell.

The first holiday season, you’re together Gareth bought you a heated blanket. Hawkins is freezing in the winter, and sometimes a regular heating pad doesn’t do the trick. He’d never used a heating pad before you got together, but he’d soon find out how much you use and love yours. So why wouldn’t he get you a heated blanket? It turns into him also loving the blanket. It’s used a little bit too much if you are being honest, at least when you look at your energy bill. It’s used for cuddling while watching movies while sleeping, and he’s even asked you to bring it when going to friends’ houses for movie nights. It really was the best gift.

He’d be extremely loyal once he let anybody into his life. His partner would be no different, or anybody he likes. The only difference is he might be a little bit clingy, but not in an annoying way. He still knows how to give you distance and thoroughly enjoys his space and time. Still, he does prefer to be around his partner and touch them when they’re around one another. He would be the one to throw hands for his partner; in fact, he has. He’s very forward without pushing. He enjoys walking you to class regardless of whether you have the class together or are walking with friends. It’s not that he gets in between you and your friends. It’s more that he’d walk on the outside of your group, and your friends would be on the other side of you. If you have a class with him and your friends, he will sit at the inside or the outside desk, let you sit in the middle and your friend on the other side. He will try to distract you. Usually, by drawing on your hand or by attempting to play footsie. If you’re not dating and unsure, he will still be there for you regardless, no matter what, even if you get another partner.
