Colossus HC’s - You’re Sad
Look, I’m sad and thinking of big metal man makes me happy. So, here’s some headcanons about how Colossus would react and help you feel better when you’re sad. Can be interpreted as platonic or romantic!
Tumblr media
His first inclination when you’re sad is to go for the act of physical touch - a hand on the shoulder, a hug, a gentle pat on the back. 
Not cool with physical touch? He has to fight the instinct but understands and respects your boundaries
He’s a good listener and asks if you want solutions or feedback, or just to vent. Be warned, if you do ask for solutions then he’s going to be honest, sometimes blunt, but never intentionally hurtful. 
If you are good physical touch? Oh man, you are in for a treat
His ambient temperature is a few degrees colder than human skin (usually hotter if he’s been standing in the sun and vice-versa if he’s been out in the cold) so he’s always considerate of that before he initiates any physical contact. 
 As I previously headcanoned in this post, putting your ear up to his chest and listening to his heartbeat while he’s in his metal form isn’t like the thump-thump-thump of a normal heart, but the metal on metal (cause his insides are metal too in this form!) creates a bit more of a tick-tick-tick noise. 
Expect that to be in your ear if you go in for a hug, along with strong arms wrapped around you and fingers rubbing small circles on your back
His strength conceals gentleness, and if you need deeper pressure in order to feel calm he’s more than able to oblige. He’ll press you firmer to his body, wrap his arms tighter around you, and maybe even rest his chin on your head as all 7′ of his body completely engulfs you (regardless of how tall you are, there’s a high probability he’s gonna end up dwarfing you)
He’ll talk to you like that if you want, talk you through what’s bothering you and see if there’s anything he can do to help, or if you just want a moment of silent contact he’ll give that to you
After you’ve calmed down he’s in immediate recovery mode - water to make up for the dehydration from shed tears, an icepack if you’re eyes are puffy or if you have a tension headache, and then a snack.
Is a big proponent of art therapy, lends you some of his paints and a canvas in order to help you process things
All in all? Lovely person to go to when you’re sad, makes me less sad just thinking about it

Flora Colossi Headcanon 4/?: poison immunity
Due to thier extremophile adaptations, Flora Colossus are immune to most poisons and toxins that would be normally deadly to other beings. However, some certain toxins, while not deadly to flora colossus, can induce altered states similar to drugs such as alcahol or psychedelics in humans. (This, technically is canon in the Telltale game, as there’s a part of the game where Groot straight up trips balls after falling into a patch of alien plants and eating one of them)
youtube
On the flip side of this, drugs such as alcohol have little to no effect Flora Colossus. A fact Groot has secretly used to his advantage in multiple drinking games against his friends.

Ok but not me wanting to post (constantly) about big boy clearly more accurate body type about Piotr Rasputin and Jason Todd.
I mean come on there's no way Piotr was out there on the farm after a long hard day of blazing sun and possibly doing a little bit of homework is just eating strict plain chicken and doing whatever to achieve that oh so cut six-pack... NAH NAH, my Russian man is eating whatever is available cause he was a poor farm boy and when he do got that money (however that is) he is most definitely treating himself (a lot) and his little sister to some Russian/American sweets and American fast food in the big city (cause it's different and he can enjoy himself)
As for Jason, that man died BUT BUT before he died he was in crime alley under terrible living circumstances and then adopted by Bruce Wayne and this man is about as flavour full as a wet napkin and then forceably made to train with the league and you know they eat the basics ...this guy came back and went Nope I'm gonna enjoy life and do what I'm gonna do. Gonna eat and be himself, and he'll fight who he has too.
Mark my words, I ain't done with these thoughts. I AIN'T DONE!! 👏🏾👏🏾
- sidenote: Wouldn't be a highlight to see them not be Greek sculpturesque all the time. Like where do you find the time between saving the world and going to school and stuff

Was rambling to my friend and then boom a backstory for grim formed.
So in show as you all know, colossus and him do have beef but that’s because grim wanted to be captain so let’s take that, and twist it a little.
Failed business/salesman grim made a wicked deal that blew up in his face when he doubled crossed his partners and they wanted him dead. So to avoid death he stole a yacht and set a course out to sea, hoping to land in Europe. He got caught up in a storm that whisked his ass off to neverland.
That’s where he met captain colossus, who was kind enough to offer him a place on his ship. Ofc no businessman wants to be on the bottom, he wanted to be on top where the gold and riches were. He wanted to be captain.
So he climbed the ranks via, getting fellow men killed by “accident” to reduce competition and by proving himself resourceful in certain situations and perils, which impressed colossus both in a professional way and also in a more romantic way..
Yes Captain colossus was falling in love. Grim could see that, so he leaned into leading colossus on. Little short kisses and hints of flirting. And they grew closer, so much so that they did have sex yes, but it wasn’t enough. After all the first mate was still around and he knew grim’s game and tried to kill him before he can go further. Unfortunately he evaded every attempt and his (the first mate) death would come when a battle with another crew broke out and grim just watched as the first mate got outnumbered when he could’ve used the weapons on him to aid him. After being colossus’s source of comfort that night he knew he was in the bag
And so that was how he became first mate. However he started to get cocky and a bit too bold so much so he tried to kill colossus a few months later in his sleep and the other man woke up and promptly threw him out and the next day he was exiled to a stranded island, chained to a tree and left to rot.
He got out (eventually, with some broken bones) obviously, but Ofc when you go sometime with out food or water or companionship delusion combined with his hatred and humiliation had driven him “a bit” insane. He began to make out shapes and forms within the darkness and shadows, communicating with them alongside training and waited for the next ship to stop by…
That day came when it was storming with the fog so strong that you could barely see. Grim took this opportunity and what he learned from the shadows and teleported onto the ship, unfortunately for that captain and their crew of four they were now just skeletons of the neversea.
His infamy has grown overtime and he still makes crews weary when heavy fog rolls in you never know if you’ll be the next victim of the grim buccaneer.

Trope
Shell-Shocked Veteran:
'...it is the moments after battle, in his most private moments, I have seen the way his hands tremble. Sometimes unable to stop shaking in the most quiet circumstances. But the moment battle is to be made, or he is called upon to serve, his hands remain calmer than a glass of undisturbed water. I have informed the Doctor, I am worried of him.'

Do you think Colossus was really into wrestling/sambo growing up as a boy? For me its as good an explanation as any as why to why Piotr was already a good fighter and really muscular when he joined the x men despite being a civilian teenage boy.
I like the idea of Piotr being interested in wrestling! I especially like it in conjunction with the concept of Mikhail being the one to introduce it to him and the two of them rough housing the way brothers tend to.
Imagine, before Piotr started getting big, Mikhail swooping in on him to put him in a hold.

It isn't a skill he speaks about much, one he prefers to practice in private, but he can play the Guitar. Between his deep baritone and his natural ability to learn with his hands, he's a rather apt musician. Horrible at reading sheet music but if he hears a tune long enough he can play it by ear.
It was before a mission, the early dawn hours. The sound of an acoustic guitar being played, a few errors but ultimately pleasant. When she found him it was perhaps the only time he had ever seemed embarrassed, trying to place away the instrument and ignore what he was doing- as if caught in some horrid act.
Eventually, he continued to play in those early morning hours. Eventually, he continued to play even when she came around.

GIMME PEEPAW BJ HEADCANONS.
I haven't finished New Colossus yet but HERE YOU GO HAVE SOME BJ HEADCANONS
Headcanon A:  realistic
He's absolute crap at dealing with other people's emotions. Has no idea how to comfort a person in distress. Would he like to? Absolutely, he hates seeing people suffering. The only problem is, his own reaction to grief is to either stand there with a stoic expression or to beat the snot out of whatever's causing the pain. So when someone else is struggling, the best he can do is go ":| ok."
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CANON THE MAN EATS DOG FOOD. HE EATS DOG FOOD IN THE OLD GAMES. HE EATS DOG FOOD IN THE MODERN GAMES. I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT BJ AND HIS THOIGHT PROCESS AND WHY HE DOES THINGS THE WAY HE DOES BUT I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY THIS MAN, IN THE MIDDLE OF A PRISON ESCAPE, LOOKED AT A BOWL OF DOG FOOD ON THE FLOOR AND THOUGHT, "YEAH THAT LOOKS GOOD. I'LL EAT THAT." I SWEAR TO YOU I WILL NEVER GET OVER THIS.
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
While I think basically all the ID Software protagonists have quite a bit of PTSD, I think BJ is probably the Most Depressed out of all of them, at least as of New Colossus. His main enemy isn't some supernatural beast or interdimensional hell army. Sure, he's seen both of these before, and fought them too, but his biggest enemy is other humans. Other humans with an unmeasurable capacity for cruelty and hatred. Not anything supernatural, just other people who decided they were somehow better. And on top of that, he failed to stop them. It was a direct result of his failed assault on Deathshead's compound that put him in a coma for fourteen years and let his entirely human enemies take over the entire world. Doomguy came close, with the gap between 2016 and Eternal, but there were still major human resistances left in Eternal. But in New Order? There's hardly any resistance left by the time BJ wakes up. And he blames himself for that.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
Yes I know the Spear of Destiny was supposed to be the actual spear, but I am saying it was an Argenta weapon on the same level as Doomguy's crucible, made of wraithsong, and the angel of death that asked BJ to prove himself the first time he picked it up was, or was associated with, the the Elemental Wraiths. And in successfully doing so, BJ was changed. Not to the same degree as Doomguy with the Divinity Machine, but in the same direction. He became just a bit stronger, just a bit more resilient, just a bit angrier, and he was marked in some indistinguishable way as a holy bastion against all things evil, monstrous, and hellish. That's how he was able to survive getting a chunk of shrapnel lodged in his brain and falling into a fourteen year coma, then coming out of it almost immediately capable of singlehandedly fighting an entire army. He's not wholly human, not anymore, and he passes that on to each of his descendants, all the way to Doomguy.

My personal headcanon is that Nassor joins the swim team in high school cuz I think he's quite athletic himself
I remember someone talking about this once before. Nassor joining the swim team is a great thing to have him do because of his upper body strength. I feel like there would be an all boys team and Nassor would be the captain of it all. He’d win every competition and everyone would cheer for him, even his mom. She’d come to every game no doubt. XD I think that no matter how much he won and had people cheering for him, he would still have the same face expression through it all lol.

Flora Colossi Headcanon 3/?: Asexual Reproduction
There are two main ways flora colossus can make more of themselves: splinters or seeds
Splinters are what they sound like: cuttings of a flora colossus that they break off and grow into new individuals when planted in dirt. These saplings are basically near identical clones of their progenitor. Though some saplings are known to develop their own personality overtime.
The splinter sapling also tends to inherit its progenitors name and speaks with it. I.e. if a splinter sapling’s progenitor’s name is Groot and they use that name when speaking Taluhnisan (I am Groot), the sapling will also have/speak with that name.
The other way is through a flora colossus individual growing flowers that then get pollinated, produce fruit with a seed which is then planted.
These seedlings, as they’re made using the pollen of two or more flora colossus individuals, are more genetically distinct compared to splinter-grown individuals.
They’re also usually born with a different, unique name to their progenitors.

Today he's dressed in his cleanest, most cared for, uniform courtesy of Rhodes Island. It isn't a grandiose thing, in fact it almost seems corporate. Yet, he wears it with all the respect and honor of a military uniform of the highest pedigree. It is the least he can do, for those present today.
Everything done today, is done with solemnity and practice. Not a single thing must go wrong. To some it is a needless display, and for others it is the most important thing in the world.
He takes five steps forward stopping within arms distance of a seated man. He brings his feet together, his arm raises folded at the elbow rendering a salute to the seated individual.
"On behalf of myself, Rhodes Island, and a grateful populace, please accept my sincere condolences."
He lowers the salute, going to take a knee before them.
"For your loved one's honorable, and faithful, service please accept this token of our gratitude."
He reaches into his breast pocket to remove the emblem of Rhodes Island, made of golden metal. The words 'May I enjoy my life and practice my art, Respected by all men and in all times' engraved into a contrasting black.
The man, who has been distant if not stoic throughout the proceeding reaches to take the emblem. His fist closes around it in a white knuckle vice.
Hayden stands, rendering one more salute. He turns around, walking away as a melancholic tune is played upon a bugle. His time here is done.
Too many people have died under his command. The least he can do is this, no matter how pointless. They entrust their lives to him, to the organization. His obligations to them do not end at death, nor does it end to the loved ones left behind in his devastation.
Until the motto of Rhodes Island is realized, there will be more funerals. More somber drinks. This is the burden they shoulder, for a better world.

ADMINS!
headcanons under the cut!
ROMEO:
Romeo was the Admin of Mischief. His people were known for their golden goat-like eyes. Romeo enjoyed playing games, doing pranks, and griefing. He loved to make challenges for his friends and followers.
Long ago, Romeo loved Fred and Xara and the three of them lived together. However, as the Admins' followers grew, Fred and Xara decided it would be best to build their own cities and live there instead of in their starting cabin. Romeo stayed in the cabin and built Romeoburg around it, half jokingly as a way to mock Fred and Xara for feeling so important they needed entire cities for themselves.
Moving away had drifted the three apart, and Fred and Xara would spend less and less time with Romeo. This made Romeo resentful, as he made an effort to keep them all together and the other two supposedly didn't have time for him. He began to feel abandoned. In a final effort to save their relationship, Romeo created his Ultimate Challenge, and when beaten, would open the doors to the cabin, to remind Fred and Xara of what once was. However, Fred and Xara said they didn't have time for things like that anymore, and Romeo finally snapped.
FRED:
Fred was the Admin of the Sky and Seas. He created his people, who are known for their strange blue eyes. When he was alive, his people would worship him in Ocean Monuments similar to the one Romeo lured Jesse to. In the First World, these monuments were above ground instead of underwater. After killing Fred, Romeo destroyed all of the monuments, so Fred's people stick to worshiping him on his home island, which Romeo also tried to destroy but it was protected by a powerful spell.
Fred was a kindhearted pacifist and believed Romeo could be saved, which led to his downfall. Fred cared greatly for his people and treated them as if they were his children. When there was drought, he would flap his wings and create rain. His religion values pacifism, selflessness and kindness to all living things. Fred's highest priestess is Binta, who has taken up the duty of sheltering and protecting those in the Underneath.
One of Fred's most notable creations is the Prismarine Colossus, which along with Guardians guarded his temples from mobs and pirates.
XARA:
Xara was the Admin of the Sun and Sands. Her people, who were all killed by Romeo, were known for their bright pink eyes. Sand temples were built to worship her.
Xara was kind, but did not have as much patience as Fred, and tried to convince him that Romeo was beyond saving and needed to be killed before he killed them both and destroyed the world. She also had different values from Fred, like believing in revenge and violence when necessary.
Worshippers of Xara valued strength, loyalty, and honor. They were hardworking people and most of them were warriors. The most devoted of followers would undergo the Star Trial, where they would kill a wither and gift the star to Xara as a sign of their devotion to her. This trial is why many desert structures have withers chiseled in the stone.
Romeo nearly killed Xara, but Fred jumped in and was stabbed instead. Romeo was so full of regret that he was unable to finish the job and instead just took away Xara's Admin powers and locked her away.
