May I bother you and ask what headcanons do you have about Bard and his family? 😌👀

Of course you can! :D I'm assuming you mean within the metal AU?

-The family start a little vegetable garden in the back. Both him and the kids are covered in dirt at the end of it and he doesn't even mind. He hasn't felt this happy and laughed this much in years. Bofur just makes everything fun. -Even though she's not his biological daughter, Sigrid is the one who takes after Bofur musically and even "borrows" one of his guitars which just becomes her's permanently. She goes through a rebellious punk phase which adds another layer of grey hair to Bard's temple but teenagers gonna teenager.

-Bard is stressed because of work and time constraints. Bofur is stressed because of his neurodivergence. They both help each other with their concerns and are less stressed as a result. Much snuggling is had every night.

-Bard is SUPER protective of Bofur. Like, to the extent where he'll be mean to whoever is hurtful towards him. Bofur is cheerful and always sees the best in people, so there's always going to be people who try to take advantage of that and Bard sees through it. You know how snarky Bard is in the films? Imagine that tenfold when someone is shitty to people he loves.

-Bofur secretly cries when Sigrid leaves home for college. She takes the guitar with her.

-That blonde guy at Whole Foods keeps hitting on Bard until he sees the Bowman kissing a scruffy, dorky metalhead outside of work one day and he's horrified and storms off in a huff because HE'S rich and clean cut and how dare Bard prefer short, hairy men with funny hats. He takes it as a *personal* insult. (this one I stole from @alienfuckeronmain).

-When Bard and Bofur are old and grey and creaky, and the kids have left home, they sit on the porch on Saturdays blasting Motorhead and Helloween and the neighbours hate them. They've become those "loud old men with no respect for anyone" but in actuality they're just both slightly deaf.
