The Disaster Expedition and How They Sleep

Gustave

Usually sleeps on his back or side.

If Maelle had a nightmare, he’d let her curl up next to him without a word. Just wordlessly open his arm and rub her back until she drifted off again.

Sometimes falls asleep with his arm still attached (which Lune will usually remove for him).

Always says “Goodnight, team,” even if they’re all passed out already.

Sleeps close to Maelle but never smothers her. If she wants to get closer, she can.

Snores but not obnoxiously. Maelle finds it comforting.

Always ends up cold because he gives everyone else his blankets if they want them. He never complains.

Usually falls asleep first. If he’s not actively being spoken to, he’s gone in five minutes flat. Quiet, warm, dad-asleep.

Classic “dad-who-slept-on-the-couch” energy when he wakes up.

Lune

Sleeps on her back most nights. (“Aren’t you afraid of sleep paralysis??�� “No??? Should I be??”)

Usually doesn’t move at all. You’d think she was a corpse.

VERY light sleeper.

Sleeps with her bra on.

Probably has a dream journal lmao

If she has bad dreams, she doesn't mention them. She just gets up and works harder that day.

Pretends her mind quiets at night. It doesn’t. She lies awake more often than she admits, thinking about probabilities and consequences and people she wants to save.

One of the last to fall asleep. If people are still chatting, she can’t go to bed because she’ll get FOMO.

Usually the first to wake up.

Does morning stretches.

Elegant morning ghoul. Moves slow, gracefully.

Nobody is allowed to talk to her until thirty minutes after she wakes up.

Startlingly petty in the morning.

Sciel

SPRAWLS. EVERYWHERE.

Sleeps with her bra off. She does not care. (“What if we’re attacked??” “They’re a distraction.” “FOR THE NEVRONS??”)

SO warm.

Loves snuggling, so she doesn’t mind if someone else (usually Maelle) lays close to her.

Rests easier with people nearby. If they’re separated, she lays awake worrying. The first few nights at the Gestral village, before reuniting with the others, was rough because of this.

After Gustave died, she’s usually the one Maelle goes to sleep with when she’s scared or has had a nightmare.

Talks in her sleep. It’s usually just incomprehensible mumbles.

The ultimate blanket thief. And then kicks them all off because she’s hot.

Once got up to pee, tripped and fell over Monoco, face-planted, and just fell asleep like that.

After long battles, she always sleeps closest to Maelle. Just in case the girl wakes up in a panic. She won’t say it aloud, but she likes being the first one Maelle sees.

Always groggy in the morning.

Maelle

Curls up into a little ball. She can make herself VERY small.

On rare nights when she feels safe and unguarded, she starfishes.

Has frequent nightmares, but she’s (mostly) able to not wake up screaming anymore so she won’t disturb the others.

Sleepwalks. Once woke up in the middle of a river. All she can remember of the dream she was having was being in a burning room, then the fire going out suddenly…

Will instinctively cling in her sleep. Like a little sloth.

Snores softly, but only when she’s really tired. It’s more like a warm, whuffling noise. Like a snuffly piglet.

Clings to the blanket with surprising strength. If she’s shivering, good luck getting it back.

Before the funeral, she slept with Gustave’s arm held against her chest like a stuffed animal. It was a gut-wrenching sight for the others.

Cries in her sleep sometimes.

Also cries herself to sleep sometimes.

Wakes up with HORRIFIC bedhead.

Very quiet in the mornings, even more than usual. Stays bundled up until she’s mentally booted up for the day.

Verso

Sleeps on his side but will also sleep propped up against a tree.

Usually the last to fall asleep.

If someone touches him in his sleep, he’ll wake up swinging—hard. The only exception is Maelle. She can nudge him, and he’ll just blink blearily and grunt.

Snores when he’s REALLY tired. And it is LOUD.

Sleep-frowns.

NOT a morning person AT ALL.

Don’t touch him. Don’t look at him. Maelle is the only one allowed to poke him awake without consequences. Monoco is usually the one who will wake him up.

Monoco

Curls up when he sleeps. Or lays on his back.

Usually sleeps away from the others. Because he once rolled onto Lune and almost crushed her.

Snores like an old dog.

Noco would sleep buried in his mane. After Noco dies, Monoco either cradles his jar or sleeps curled around it protectively.

Doesn’t really dream.

Maelle once bumped into him while sleepwalking, and he just shuffled her back toward her bed like a sheepdog.

If anyone tries to wake him early, he grumbles like a bear.

Shifts very slowly in his sleep. Rolls over like a log. If you hear creaking, it’s him.

side note: anyone else wants to be extra sad and thinks songs from The Medium should work kiiinda well for them?..

[yourdeepestfathoms]

Maelle Headcanons

Aroace

Sunburns SO easily, poor thing. The group will have spent the whole day walking, and she’ll be BRIGHT RED by the end of it.

Touch-starved

A good singer, but she doesn’t like to sing in front of anyone

Has frequent nightmares

Gets cold easily

VERY tender-headed, but she enjoys when Sciel does her hair

Fidgety

VERY quick on her feet. We all saw the way she sprinted off in the prologue. She is FAST.

Pretty handwriting

Has heard every nickname under the sun when it comes to her red hair

Got bullied a lot back in Lumiere (luckily, a lot of it stopped after Gustave and Emma adopted her)

Once punched a kid in the nose for teasing her. Gustave saw no problem with this when he learned the story (“I would’ve punched him twice! You’re better than me.”)

Starts her period for the first time ever while on the Expedition, much to her dismay

Prone to headaches

Flinches at sudden movements

Has abandonment issues so deep-rooted that sometimes she tests people on purpose just to see if they’ll leave

Collected buttons

Gets the giggles when tired

Secretly enjoys when people fuss over her

Lost a lot of weight while on the Expedition—and she was already thin as is. She just never really had an appetite, despite all the energy she was burning while fighting Nevrons.

Develops severe PTSD

Has frequent anxiety attacks throughout the day, but she just firms it

Becomes an absolutely ruthless killing machine after Gustave’s death. She slaughters Nevrons left and right. It concerns the others, and Lune and Sciel could only watch helplessly as this girl slowly loses herself in her rage and grief.

While throwing stones with Gustave, she accidentally beamed him in the back of the skull with a rock and just stood there like 🙊

[yourdeepestfathoms]

do you still plan do yaelokre headcanons? i loved your headcanons

not currently! my hyperfixation is LONG GONE. i’ve got a French game on my mind now

[yourdeepestfathoms]

Lune and Sciel: Don’t worry, Gustave. We’ll take care of Maelle.

Maelle: *cuts herself and reduces her HP to 1 just so she can do more damage while relentlessly slaughtering Nevrons*

Lune and Sciel:

[yourdeepestfathoms]

are you still into yaelokre?

technically yes, but my hyoerfixation is GONE. Expedition 33 is on the brain now 💪💪

[yourdeepestfathoms]

Compulsory Wing! AU for Expedition 33?

(plus any Avian world updates you may have)

my wing AU is all but abandoned as this point. it was WAY too complicated for fandoms, as nobody would really be able to understand it without reading all the info i have on it.

but here’s a regular one!

Gustave - Golden Eagle

BIG wings

Will shield Maelle with his wings, whether that be from attacks or just rain/sun

Maelle is constantly falling asleep in his wings, as she feels safe when he holds her like that

Sciel - Kookaburra

An absolute mother hen

Uses her wings to hug people. Big feathery swaddles. Maelle disappears in them.

Constantly hooding Maelle like a chicken

Lune - Stellar’s Jay

CONSTANTLY preening

She doesn’t mind her wings getting dirty, but again, she will immediately start preening them after

Her wings puff up when she’s annoyed—like an indignant cat

She’s very protective of her wings; if someone touches them without permission, she will glare them into dust

Maelle - Barn Owl and Snowy Owl

Nobody knows why she has two different wings, but they’ve been a target of bullying for her whole life

She mostly hid her wings when in Lumiere

Her snowy owl wing will constantly get cramps and weird aches. Sometimes they don’t even feel like they’re really attached to her at all

A silent flier. VERY good at sneak attacks!

Will swaddle herself in her wings as a comforting method

Enjoys when people preen her wings

Verso - Great Black Hawk

He doesn’t get any headcanons because I Do Not Like Him

[yourdeepestfathoms]

If the Expedition survivors ever sleep huddled to stay warm: Maelle is curled up in the middle or burrowing into someone, no in between.

They’re camped high, and though the stars are clear above and the rain has finally stopped falling, the wind still howls through the stone passes like it’s angry about being ignored.

Sciel had suggested the huddle. Lune agreed. Gustave had offered his coat. Maelle was just happy to be warm.

And now?

Now they are one large, tangled pile of limbs and shared body heat under every available blanket, cloak, and spare layer they could find.

Maelle’s tucked in the middle.

She thinks she should be embarrassed. She’s sixteen. She’s fought monsters. She’s created her own sword and killed with it.

But right now? Her nose is cold. Her feet are cold. Her soul is cold.

So she does what she has to.

She burrows.

“Stop wiggling,” Lune groans from the back, her voice half-muffled by her own scarf. “Someone’s elbowed me five times.”

“Not me,” Sciel mumbles. “I’m very still and elegant.”

Maelle doesn’t answer. She’s too busy trying to burrow deeper into Gustave’s coat like a shivering mole.

“You cold?” Gustave rumbles softly, adjusting his position to let her in closer.

Maelle nods, her nose pressed to his chest. “I’m going to die.”

“You’re not going to die,” Lune mutters. “You’re warm-blooded and dramatic.”

“Same thing,” Maelle says and wedges herself tighter between Gustave and Sciel.

Sciel giggles and loops an arm around her shoulders, tucking a blanket up under her chin. “There. We’ve got you.”

“You’re all elbows,” Lune accuses.

“You’re all grump,” Sciel shoots back.

“Can you two not?” Maelle whines, her voice high and pitiful. “I’m suffering.”

“You’re literally being hugged by three people at once,” Lune deadpans.

“Exactly,” Maelle says. “It’s not enough.”

Everyone groans, but no one pushes her away. In fact, Gustave tucks her in even closer, folding his long arm over her back like a blanket. She lets out a low, relieved hum, her head resting under his chin.

The wind howls louder.

Maelle closes her eyes. Sciel’s hand strokes absentmindedly through her hair. Lune adjusts the blanket over all of them with grumbling precision. Gustave’s chest rises and falls against her cheek, steady and sure.

It’s nice. Cozy. Safe.

She lets herself drift.

The last thing she says, barely audible, is, “Still cold.”

“Go to sleep, Maelle,” comes three voices at once.

She giggles into Gustave’s coat. Then, she does.

i agree, anon!
