Since Tiffany and Chucky were added to DBD, I wanted to go through which characters are canonically LGBTQ+ just for funsies.
David King - David King is the first official, original LGBTQ+ character, identifying as a gay man. This is a major part of his tome lore, and so far he is the only canon gay man.
Freddy Krueger - This one is only half-canon, mostly because this is remake Freddy and not the original, but Freddy Krueger is bisexual, with a preference for women. Whether remake Freddy is also bisexual is up for debate, but nobody said he wasn't...
Pinhead - Pinhead is one of the queerest characters in horror, being written by a gay man and being originally genderless. Technically speaking, Pinhead doesn't have any labels, but is 100% queer, with an attraction to all genders and being genderless, mostly due to their bodily modifications rendering them "sexless" (Clive Barker's words not mine.)
Tiffany Valentine - Tiffany Valentine is canonically bisexual, with an attraction to various men and women. She is romantically involved with Chucky mostly, but is completely fine with him being in a female body, and is attracted to Nica, another woman. If anything, it seems like she has a preference for women despite being primarily with Chucky most of the time.
Charles Lee Ray - Chucky is also bisexual, openly stating he goes both ways, and gladly being romantically involved with both men and women, though again he is mostly involved with Tiffany.
Sadako Yamamura - In the original novel of Ringu, Sadako was intersex. It’s hard to tell if the Sadako in game is based off of the 90s film or the novel, but I believe it takes things from both so make of that what you will.
Susie Lavoie - In the prequel Legion comic, it's confirmed one of her crushes is a female, meaning she is WLW.
Cheryl Mason - Whilst not 100% confirmed, it is heavily implied that Cheryl is attracted to women, whether she is a lesbian or simply bisexual is up for debate. An alternate version of Cheryl (the one from Shattered Memories) is WLW and is hypersexual, but whether this applies to the normal Cheryl or not is again, up for debate.
The Look-See - This creature from Crypt TV is canonically pansexual.
The Birch - This creature from Crypt TV is canonically transgender.
The Mordeo - This creature from Crypt TV is canonically genderqueer.
How about a mordeo who falls for someone but show their affection different than the mordeo queen since they are more feral?
Oooh, yes! I’d love to!
Just a friendly reminder tho, the inbox is closed while I try to catch up on requests.
(Romantic) The Mordeo/reader headcanons
It’s one thing for The Queen to become attached to a human. She’s not entirely driven by hunger, so she can distinguish between different emotions. It’s another thing entirely when a drone Mordeo finds a human they think is worth keeping alive.
The other Mordeo will not be as easy to keep away from you as they are with The Queen’s human. They don’t see you as someone else’s mate — they see you as leftovers. You’ll have a hell of a time trying to avoid them, and if the Queen finds out about you and your partner, your partner may unfortunately be exiled. Because of this, I would not recommend a cabin in the woods to stay close to your partner — maybe have a few neighbors within a short running distance and have your backyard facing the woods.
It’s very odd, but you’ve somehow been able to distinguish which howl is your partner’s. Maybe it’s because they do a more subdued version of it around you when they’re happy — it’s like a small bellow when you two snuggle or go on runs. I also imagine that Mordeos purr, because purring monsters make my brain happy and just…come on, who wouldn’t like a Mordeo laying in their lap and purring away?
As happy and carefree as your Mordeo might be when you’re together, that all goes out the window when you both are in the woods. Every twig snapping is another Mordeo stalking you, and they will not lower their haunches until you’re back safe in your house. Your neighbors will occasionally mention seeing a weird deer thing prowling near the houses, but you just smile and nod along and pretend you know nothing. Can’t have the government coming after the bae. No-no. That’s not happening.
I imagine that your Mordeo would like to bring you spoils of their latest hunts, so you might be given a severed body part or a dead animal when they come to see you. They don’t understand you can’t eat them at first, but even after you’ve gotten the message across they continue to bring things. But now the kinds of gifts have changed — now you get cool-looking rocks, pointy sticks, clothes people have left behind… and an occasional body part. They know you don’t eat what they eat, but it’s their way of showing they care.
IMO Shelley is an underrated Crypt TV character. You always see the Look See, the Birch, Mordeo, all that loveliness. But what about Shelley Carter? She’s awesome!
Estelle, Mira, and the Youth Monster are underrated, too. My strongest attachment it to Shelley, though.
My crossover prompt of the week. (Not that I have an actual fic in mind with this concept, but my mind likes to go places)
So I’m re-watching Sunny Family Cult, and it was pointed out on a Dead Meat Kill Count video how Taylor’s actress, Trew Mullen, resembles a combination of Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried.
Now that I see it, I can’t unee it.
With this in mind; imagine a crossover AU of Sunny Family Cult and Jennifer’s Body.
Taylor’s character, and her arc remains otherwise the same...except this time she is a Needifer child. Obviously, there would have to be an age/timeline adjustment (I’m one of those writers who really does the math on these kind of things. Other than that, she’s still this dark messianic figure of prophecy, still raised and groomed into a murder cult.
And is targeted by Roger for the same reasons. The only major difference is that she is Jennifer and Needy’s daughter, and would either be part or full succubus. This Taylor’s still conflicted about her place and destiny in all this (in part of her succubus side).
The reason this isn’t much of a plot bunny for me is because I can’t think that much on what their dynamic is. Maybe this Taylor is kidnapped by the cult at a young age ? Maybe Needifier is on and off in raising her, and are estranged for other reason; only it’s only in the present day they become more part of her life.
I can’t think of much as far as parenting headcanons go, but one thing I can see is that Jennifer and Needy would have the Fun Parent, Responsible Parent dynamic, although between the two, Needy is the more murderously protective (Needy: “The worst Jennifer will do is kill ya. Me ? I get creative.”)
While Jennifer’s personality otherwise remains the same, her more motherly slide slips through the cracks only every now and then. This is Jennifer Check we’re talking about. One thing I can see is Jennifer noticing how close Taylor and Jaina are, as “friends” and tease her relentlessly over it, while trying to help her out of the closet.
Like I said, I don’t have that much to think off for a story, just these different ideas.
Listen, all I'm saying is that Crypt TV confirmed Look See as pansexual and Mordeo as genderqueer, and, at least in gif sets I've seen of the official TikTok, they are shown spending a lot of time together... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So there is a rumor that we be getting Some crypt tv characters as skins.
I don’t like the idea of licensed characters just being skins without there bein g a main playable character from that franchise but at least these don’t seem to be lendary costumes and at least two of them have to option to pay with shards.
Ever had a nail or two in your tire? You’re favorite mug knocked off the counter and shatter? You’re shoes fall apart seemingly out of nowhere? Have you ever encountered a near death experience? If you said yes to any of these then you’ve been visited by the entity known as Mala Suerte. This entity is the living embodiment of bad luck and where he is you’re sure to suffer the worst kind of luck imaginable. He feed solely on his victims dismay, anguish and misery and will curse said victims with a plague of bad luck. These will start off harmless if not annoyingly inconvenient, but after time the mischief will slowly evolve and become life threatening. Once Mala gets his fill his victims will be disposed of and will meet a gory and unavoidable unlucky death. Once dead Mala paints a bloody smile on their face giving them a small moment of happiness before he disappears seeking out his neck victim.
How would Look-see, Soot, Kinderfänger, and the Mordeo Queen take care of their s/o while she’s on her period?
Hope these are to your liking! College is a bitch.
Look-See, Soot, The Kinderfänger, and the Mordeo Queen taking care of their fem!s/o on her period
Warning: mentions of blood
The Look-See
Will be at your beck and call for the entire week. Too wrecked by cramps to get up and go anywhere? He’ll go and get stuff for you. You’re too hot? Off go the blankets and on goes the AC.
100/10 will sneak out of the house and steal whatever you want. If you make a passing comment about how you wished you had some mint chocolate chip ice cream, he’ll be out the door and come back with a shit-ton of ice cream. Just... don’t turn on the news. You don’t wanna know what he did to get it.
If you can’t get out of bed, he’ll just flip down there with you and snuggle you. He’s a very touchy-feely monster, so this is his element. He’ll hold you to his chest, stroke your hair, and purr to lull you to sleep.
Soot
He will immediately roll with the punches the second the red devil hits the house. He’s no stranger to blood at all, but he still gets worried when he comes to your house one day and smells a suspicious amount of iron in the air. He finds you on the couch, curled up in a ball with bags of junk food at your feet, and is thouroughly confused. This is... not how bloodied humans usually react when he finds them.
He’ll freak out and once you explain things to him, but will still be confused and scared when you say that you’re dying while experiencing a particularly awful cramp. What do you mean you’re dying? No, no, that can’t be right. You look just fine!
Oh, god, you’re bleeding out and don’t know how to tell him — those kinds of thoughts go through his head. His job is literally to get people who were supposed to die — you can’t blame him for getting paranoid when he hears stuff like that.
He can’t exactly go out and buy things for you, but after the first time he experiences shark week with you, he makes sure you’re absolutely gonna be prepared for the next one that hits.
The Kinderfänger
Because Kinderfänger spends most of not all of his time around prepubescent children (nobody really knows what his song would do to teenagers. Frankly, we don’t wanna know.), he does not know what a menstrual cycle is. Which is why he immediately starts freaking out the first time it starts around him. He smells blood on you, and he flips the fuck out. Who hurt you?! Who drew your blood, little maus?!
When you finally calm him down enough to explain it to him, he’s both shocked and disgusted. Excuse me??? You bleed from your where now??? And this happens how often???
Once he’s gotten over the initial freak out, he refuses to let you out of the lair. His children are sent out to steal things that would make you feel better. Keep in mind that this is a likely-centuries-old smoke monster that has no idea what Google is, so he’s only going off what you say will help.
Hovers constantly. When you’re particularly moody, it does far more harm than good. If he senses that you’re upset, he’ll try to cuddle you to help you feel better. This will lead to his children coming up and hugging you with him. They may be mind-controlled demonic kiddies, but they love you almost as much as he does.
The Mordeo Queen
Honestly? The least useful. As much as she hates to hear about how much you’re in pain from cramps, she wouldn’t be able to help you if she wanted to. Not only is she in the woods, practically isolated from you if you live in the city, but the smell of blood is enough to send her predator instincts into overdrive.
It hurts her so much to hear how you suffer on in this time of the month, she’s worried that if she goes near you, she won’t be able to control herself and attack you. It’s not fun for her, either.
The best she can do, if you happen to live within the vicinity of her woods, is keep other Mordeo away from your house. She’ll sit outside your cabin like a guard dog and attack any Mordeo that comes investigating the intoxicating scent of blood. As the most sentient Mordeo, she has the most control over her beastly instincts, and really, are they gonna argue with the leader of the pack?
