The Quincys Around Kids
Again, SUPER open to criticism, discussion, and additions. I love talking to people <3
Quilge: He hates them and he doesn't want to be around them, but he's not aggressive. Just stiff and uncomfortable. Like, maybe they bumble around and show him their toys and he just goes "Ohhhh, wow that's... that's greaaattttt." Honestly, he prefers teens. They can just mutually ignore each other.
Askin: Doesn't hate them, but also doesn't exactly "like" them. They're messy and loud and gross. He'll be a nice wine uncle though, bring them little gifts that their parents disapprove of like fake tattoos and clip-on piercings.
Mask De Masculine: He's the best possible Quincy you could ever leave your kid with. Mask can be gentle but he can just as easily be rough, depending on the kid. Wanna wrestle? Why not. He'll wrestle a three-year-old, but he'll have also have enough restraint to get on their level. Timid kid that just wants to draw? Heck yeah! He'll sit down at your Dora table and draw all day! Though... he might break the matching Dora chairs-
Nanana: Also a pretty chill dude to leave your kid with. He's probably going to sit back and just chill and play video games or board games with them. One of my headcanons is that he's a mathematician at heart because it just sounds awesome paired with his "Morphine Pattern" Grids. He'd be more than happy to help with math homework, whether it be addition, time, or (his favorite) graphing.
Uryu: He's awkward around kids. Like, he likes them, and he has a way with them. However, something about him just DRAWS kids towards him. Kids love this poor man, happy to play and draw and hang out with him, and he just stands there and lets them drag him away like "Uhhhh, okayyyy, where are we goinggg???" and then he's stuck playing barbies for three hours (he loves it)
Giselle: ... ... no.
Gremmy: He's being nice, but also the kids are terrified of him. If he finds a child that ISN'T afraid of him, they'll probably grab a huge box and play rocketship. Gremmy feels like a rocketship-player.
Äs Nödt: Horrendous with children. He's tried being timid, and proceeds to get walked on. He's tried being more intense, and proceeds to scare them. He can't really find a balance in interacting with kids so he simply... doesn't.
Jugram: Please don't leave your child with this man, he will show them around the Silbern and there are things in the Silbern that children should NOT be seeing. Like war things and his collection of knives (he's totally a knife collector)
Ryūken: We see how he is with Uryu. This man cares for almost nothing, he's dull and cold and doesn't really connect emotionally with ANYTHING
Bazz-B: One would think that because of his aggression and punk guy attitude that Bazz isn't good with kids, and they'd be wrong. He's awesome with kids. He'll take them on his motorcycle (he totally has a motorcycle and does donuts in Hueco Mundo), he'll get them some ice cream, and he'll buy them some Pokémon cards. They'll probably play Xbox all day, even if the kid can't figure out the controls
Bambietta: Might scare the kid even if she doesn't mean it, she's pretty intense and explosive, but with a kid that can match her energy? I can see her taking them outside and blowing things up with them, either literally or with little soldier toys, making mouth noises for the explosions
Yhwach: I mean... you COULD leave your child with this man. You shouldn't, but you COULD. Sure, they'd be alive and well and probably happy at the end of the day, since I can definitely see him being calm and level-headed and sweet with a child. But the kid might also have a new little baby Sternritter uniform
Robert Accutrone: He doesn't talk to the kid, since he doesn't know what to really say, however, he does make them pancakes and turn on Bluey or Steven Universe for them. Have a lazy day

How the nu: carnival boys kiss
Yakumo
Clumsy but earnest. He is so sweet when he shyly asks for a kiss. Well he tries to ask but stutters his way though most of it before giving up. When you do kiss his head spins and his heart races. He wants to hold your hand when you kiss him. It's grounding for him and his soft hands shake a little if it feels too good and he gets overwhelmed. He doesn't want you to stop though, he likes the foreign feeling. His kisses are a little clumsy even if you practice with him regularly. It's just part of the charm.
Edmond
Sloppy. You thought he would be refined? Nope. The moment your lips touch he seems to lose all dexterity, becoming a malleable mess underneath you. He will be so embarrassed if he messes up, like if your teeth hit each other. If he gets upset about it you will have to convince him to keep going because he will try to run away to save his dignity. You can convince him to kiss you by calling it 'training' or something and let his ego take over.
Olivine
Shy to desperate. A peck on the lips will have him a blushing mess but anything more will turn his bones to jelly. Despite the lack of experience his kisses are so good. There's a gentle passion behind each kiss and he tastes so good. The soft smell of incense on his clothes is relaxing and makes both of you feel much more comfortable and close. Even if he's breathless he won't pull away, wanting, needing more. If you have to break the kiss to breathe he will let out a quiet whimper until you two are kissing again.
Quincy
Hungry kisses. He doesn't kiss often, but whatever instinct sparks in him when he does is wild. He won't ask for a kiss so you will probably have to initiate it, but if you do, be prepared to deal with the beast you're about to unleash. He won't stop until you're completely breathless underneath him. He will ask if you're okay and the moment you say yes he is right back to feasting on your lips. A little more gently at first but you are so intoxicating that it doesn't take long for him to go primal again. If he feels like he's getting too carried away he may make you stop, if not then get ready for a long night.
Kuya
Soft and teasing. Kuya is devious and will do just about anything to get a reaction out of you. His favorite is simple light fleeting kisses and watching you become more desperate and flustered. No two kisses with him are ever the same though because each time he aims for a different reaction. Sometimes he won't touch you, other times he'll squeeze your butt, or simply let his hands wander. Whatever makes you squirm most. You can feel his sly grin even when you're lip locked.
Garu
Shy and sweet. He wants to make you happy and if you ask for a kiss he is so eager to please. He isn't really sure what he's doing but will follow your lead. Be careful with how deep the kisses go. His canines are sharp and if you cut yourself he will stop, and as long as he smells blood he won't kiss you again. Please comfort him if this happens, or remind him how essence helps healing and kisses are a great way to boost essence.
Karu
Rough but cautious. Poor boy is so self conscious and really wants to be sure he's doing a good job. His personality though won't let him ask how he's doing and he really doesn't want to feel like you have power over him so he becomes more aggressive than usual. Be careful if he gets too excited he may bite. If he does he won't apologize but he will feel bad and try to be a little gentler… try is the key word.
Blade
Unrestricted. Blade kisses with his whole heart. Definitely the type to cup your face in his hands and pepper your face in kisses before leaving a deep kiss on your lips. Be prepared for lots of questions though. He really wants to make sure you are enjoying yourself so he will ask how he's doing when he lets you catch your breath. Even if you say he's not doing good he won't get sad as long as you let him practice. Easiest way to stop the barrage of questions is to pull him in for another kiss.
Dante
Private but intimate. He has a reputation to keep up as sun lord so he will not show intimacy in public, this is also to keep your privacy and safety. Problem is that he's so busy you almost never have a private moment with him. Unfortunately this makes kisses few and far between. However when that moment comes he will make it as special as possible. He knows all your weak spots and will exploit each one. He knows what he's doing and he's so smug about it but honestly it feels too good for you to care. It's almost never just a kiss and 9 time out of 10 it will lead into more intimate acts.
Rei
Quick but mindful. Not one for full make out sessions, especially not with his constant research taking most of his time. Sometimes you'll be reading and he'll quietly come up behind you and give you a kiss on the cheek or neck before going back to his work. He likes to see you smile and when he does these little kisses it's his way of letting you know he's thinking about you. It's surprisingly cute. It may not be much but the lingering feeling of his lips on your skin makes you giddy.

HCs About Being Apart Of The Minutemen
➼ Word Count » 0.4k ➼ Warnings » None
All the settlements will have a bonfire of sorts when you and the other Minutemen come to visit. It's a small celebration that the settlers have to show their appreciation and allow you to relax. It's always a lot of fun to be able to sit back and get drunk with the locals.
Mama Murphy ends up being the community grandma. It doesn't matter who the general is, her word is the law.
The Minutemen veterans are really kind and will try to help the newer members out as much as possible. If you have a question or need something don't be afraid to ask one of them.
Sturges is like the unofficial cousin for you all. He shows up at the castle randomly, builds you something cool, then leaves again till the next big event or holiday.
The settlement kids are always making little figurines or comics about you.
There's a small messaging group of sorts who travel around to the different settlements to make sure everyone's alright and nothing major has happened in any of them.
Dogmeat is kinda like the mascot of the faction since he's always leading soldiers when they're lost or randomly showing up to help fight off raiders. There's been a debate about whether or not they should add a dog to the flag.
Preston has a bulletin board with quests and objectives that need to be completed.
Strong is another unofficial member of the group since he loves helping the settlers out. Some people protest about it, but it doesn't stop him from showing up.
Imposter Preston likes to lurk around outside the Castle. Most people just accept him as the weird neighbor by now. (whatever gets the word out)
Sarge's shutdown body is used as a statue and symbol of the Minutemen's past and Sturges will occasionally come over and try to fix him up again.
There’s a garden right outside the Castle that’s meant to feed the soldiers and any settlers who might be struggling.
Ronnie keeps everyone in line and ensures everyone's doing what they're supposed to and not slacking off.
Quincy is the capital of the Minutemen and the Castle is their military base.
The Minutemen made their own Olympics-type event between the settlements and it rakes in tons of listeners to Radio Freedom every year.

very rushed adamandi fanweek art!!! vincent and ambrose as freshmen (poem + concept art under the cut)
My friend likes fruit. I'll offer him a spare orange I keep on me, and he will jab his thumb into the peel, leaving the flesh a jumbled mess.
My friend doesn't peel oranges the right way. That was his words, his nails were too short cut to cut through the skin, his hands not 'dainty' enough to separate the pieces, he never did like things he couldn't do well.
My friend doesn't like the way the pulp stuck to his hands. I wasn't ever opposed to getting my hands dirty, so I'll peel my orange as best I can, letting the white stringy bits fall off with the exterior, and he'll toss the scraps in the bin.
Since my friend likes fruit, I'll cut the orange in two halves, one for him, one for me --- it's hard for me to give my all for things, though I'm trying to give my all for him.
Even though I cannot do much, I can still peel oranges. The tips of my fingers can worm their way above the flesh without harming the fruit, I can share half of my time, my routine, my life, I can still be the person who peels your oranges.

I think it would be funny, if people entered the abbey's library expecting it to be all ominous and filled with horrors, and then they walk in and are immediately met by the children's section, which, like, it matches the décor of the room, but it's so much brighter and friendlier than they were expecting out the gate.
Like, yeah, the rest of the place is pretty fuckin' haunted looking, but then there's just this little area that's covered in foam tiles and vibrant colors, and all the children's books are, like... they're normal kids' books?
No "Hail Satan" and "Serve the dark lord" stuff either, like it's 100% just educational and fun books for the kiddos.
Like they even have story time.
The diversity of the stories being told is definitely wider, but overall?
The only difference between the abbey's library and a public one is that you sometimes have an eight foot tall hell creature reading and explaining fairytales to kids while doing all the voices.
Like, full on demons discussing the lessons being taught in Hansel and Gretel.
Probably the most cursed thing in that entire library is a Plushia doll that's buried at the bottom of the story time buddy toy box because not even the kits want anything to do with it.
...It winds up being used to replace the monster puppets because the kids, especially the kits, aren't even remotely scared of the weird fuzzy muppet creatures, but they do fear Plushia.
Except Puddles.
Plushia is unironically her favorite doll to bring with her during naptime and honestly Aether is scared his baby might be haunted.
Loves her anyway, but still.

Trolls Headcannons (Tribe Leaders Edition)
°None of the tribes knew of the near extinction of the Pop Trolls until their first visit to Pop Village. None of them could believe that the once feared tribe were whittled down to a couple hundred. Their respect for Poppy and Branch continued to rise after learning about what they did.
°The tribes are more technologically advanced than the pop trolls in various ways. Many chalk it up to the tribe's years in isolation. The country trolls, being closer in technology, helped them ease into the new age.
Delta Dawn
°Delta doesn't fully enjoy the pop sound, but is slowly coming around due to "cross-overs" occurring between tribes. She does enjoy Poppy's company as a fellow leader though, even giving her advice on how to handle more serious cases cause of her status as Sheriff.
°Delta isn't a natural red head. She was born teal to match her tail, but believed the colors didn't convince people she was leader material. She turned it red to be taken more seriously, but left her tail alone.
°Delta's niece, Clampers, isn't allowed with the pop trolls alone due to all the candy lying around. Delta can barely wrangle her as is. She doesn't need that job being any harder.
King Quincy & Queen Essence
°The Royal Couple spent a majority of their search for Cooper in the confines of Vibe City. They sent out scouts rather than searching themselves out of fear of the pop trolls.
°Queen Essence handles most of the inner conflicts of Vibe City as well as piloting the place to the next location. She is the main go-to when it comes to large arguments on the dance floor.
°King Quincy oversees all of the music production. He felt a bit of pride when Prince D started developing a new subgenre. He works with his kingdom's scientists to see about the technological developments.
King Trollex
°Trollex always has his little buddy with him wherever he goes. They function like a service animal, reminding Trollex that he needs to get submerged for a few minutes to prevent shocking his body. Though he can function in and out of the water, Trollex's body is too used to being submerged.
°Trollex works with Prince D, Brozone, and Barb to make remixes and work on music production. He helps with the recording process and mixing over anything else.
°Trollex helped set up a few technological items in Pop Village, alongside King Quincy. These items made inter-tribe communication easier and quicker than sending a bat or a bird.
Trollzart
°Trollzart is slightly deaf in one ear due to baby classicals/instruments playing pranks on him and aiming for his ear. He was gifted a set of earplugs one holiday season as a joke from Barb.
°Trollzart enjoys working with the funk and pop trolls, but only those who respect his music rather than butchering the melody.
°Trollzart hardly ever uses his legs due to constantly flying around, so there's little strength in them. He and many other classical trolls will seek help from a funk troll or catch a ride on many of the helpful animals in the Pop Forest.
Barb
°Barb and other rock trolls went on an "apology tour" and rebuilt the damage they caused. It took several months to get most of the major buildings done, but all the base construction was done within a year. The decorating was left to the tribes.
°Barb brought out a new side to Poppy, encouraging her to be more flirty with her boyfriend. Whether or not this was a good idea is debated, but she can confidentially say from observation that Branch doesn't mind.
°Barb took lessons from the pop trolls on utilizing their hair control to constantly update her looks for concerts. She's particularly fond of the multi-colored mohawk-mullet combo.

Cang Du Headcanons
@sahara-solaris-solace
I'm not sure I'll be writing him very well, but I'm gonna try either way! Cang Du - Sternritter I, The "Iron"
I don't think he hangs around the other Sternritters often. Not necessarily out of hate, just out of incompatibility. I have this idea in my head that their main meeting place is their shared kitchen, and Cang only shows up to steal a plate of whatever someone else made and peaces back out to his room or his armada
He feels like the kind of man who seems very cold and distant and aloof, but is a softie once you get to know him a little better. Possibly values his foot soldiers on a personal level, calls everyone by name and offers them food the other Sternritters have made
He has a very deadpan stare, more than likely from dealing with Bazz-B's bullshit day in and day out
His "together both in life and in death" thing came from two pigeons he had when he was little. When one died, the other followed suit, and it was the most beautiful thing he's ever seen
He feels like a pigeon man. Cang owns pigeons. Because reasons
Mans is an artist, possibly with charcoals and pastels. I can see him having pthalo blue and violet-tinted fingers everywhere he goes, no matter how many times he washes his hands
Definitely cleanly, but not a neat-freak like someone else (AHEM, Mayuri)
The closest thing he has to a "friend" within the Sternritters is probably PePe, but only because they share an infatuation with sociology and ecology and emotions, but on more of a scientific level than an armchair psychologist one
How Is Cang Around Kids
Acts distant if someone is around, doesn't even look at the tyke, just sits back very formally and stares off at something else, maybe making small talk as he does so
As soon as everyone in the room leaves? He's the uncle that has money and candy in his pocket at all times. Just "Pssst. Hey. Hey, c'mere" Hands off little peppermints or a lollipop with some small bills around it like a cute little drug deal
If left to babysit the kid, he'll pretend he doesn't want to, but he is SO going to binge-watch Owl House and Pixar movies today. Less of a lazy day and more of a "Hey, we're gonna watch this and I'm gonna take little breaks to go do work things, that sound good to you, kid?" thing
He's a malewife.

Some Renfield living with Rebecca headcanons because I can
Can be read as platonic or not. Personally I read them as platonic but im not here to police anyones ships
Renfield likes Doing Things for people, even if its not asked. He's a people pleaser by nature and its how he expresses affection. This means Rebecca rarely ends up having to do any cleaning (aside from her own room and bathroom, he wont invade her privacy) or cooking.
Rebecca is used to being alone and isn't one to share her space, but learns quickly that Renfield likes being around all the time. It takes a bit for her to get used to but they tend to partake in parallel play like periods of quality time where they sit in the living room each doing their own thing.
It takes a while for Renfield to get into a 'regular' sleep schedule, which means Rebecca waking up at 3am to the smell of Renfield doing some late night baking.
Some nights are harder than others and Renfield deals with a lot of nightmares. Most he can handle on his own - or he tries his best to - but he's absolutely shared Rebecca's bed more than once when he couldn't calm down on his own.
Renfield starts collecting unusual pets; Dracula never let him have any, and he tried not to regard the insects he kept with him as pets since, well, he'd eat them. He ends up with a pair of venus fly traps on the window sill, jumping spiders, a lizard, hissing cockroaches, rats, a tarantula... Rebecca puts her foot down when he wants a scorpion - she can excuse the spiders, but something about scorpions especially upsets her.
The two also adopt a stray cat from the Charity Hospital, one that Renfield had befriended during his stay there.

Nu carnival x ftm period
Mentions of blood, general pain, dysphoria, and drugs
♦️Garu, Aster, Morvay
Yakumo
Boy is comforting by nature and he will do anything in his power to make you feel better. Warm soup, mint tea, any kind of comfort food; he'll make it all for you. If he needs to he will even fight the awkwardness and ask his grandma for advice on how to make “someone” on their period feel better. He knows better than to out you to anybody, even to the people he trusts most. He just wants you to feel better.
Edmond
He's going to need some help. He heard that people like chocolate when this happens so he gets you expensive chocolate confections from your favorite bakery. If he's not too busy he might make some with you. Quality time is important to him and he wants you to know he's here to support you even if he's too awkward to express it with words. He will make time to try and comfort you as much as he can but it will be in all non verbal ways.
Olivine
He will pray for your recovery. He sympathizes with you, he understands how much his essence imbalance hurts him so it makes sense that your hormone imbalance hurts you. It hurts him seeing you so uncomfortable and him not being able to help. He really doesn't want to leave you alone and it hurts him when he can't be by you to help. Even if it's simply grabbing something for you he wants to take as much of your burden as he can.
Quincy
Quincy is big and I think he's very warm too, especially his right hand because of the gem. He cuddles up to you and uses himself as a hot water bottle. Resting his hand on your stomach and letting you use him as a pillow. If you have any kind of mood shifts he takes it in stride. It kind of reminds him of dealing with a cat; wanting pets one moment and biting his hand the next. It doesn't bother him much though and it's nice having a grounding personality like his around while you wait out the pain. He probably offers some natural pain killers if it gets bad.
Kuya
He has a herb that he gives you to help. You don't know what the plant is but it helps. All the pain and discomfort are gone but it makes you feel weird in the head. You've tried finding the plant but no book or even Quincy knows what it is. Kuya just tells you not to worry about it and enjoy not being in pain. You should probably be more weary of him but the herb works so well that you can't really say no.
Blade
He freaks out when you tell him you're bleeding. He thinks you're injured and immediately goes into protection mode. You have to explain it happens to some guys monthly. That's satisfactory for his curiosity for now. It's best to just tell him what helps you manage pain. If you don't he will take the initiative to look up what will help…and he will want you to try the weirdest home remedies. So unless you want him asking you to put a frozen potato wedge cover in sesame oil in your underwear, I suggest being open with him very early. It's so hard to say no to his puppy eyes when he's just trying to help.
Garu
This gets a little weird so continue with caution. He smells it right before you start bleeding and it scares him the first time. It hurts your heart to have him look at you so worried for a week. You know he's just concerned but honestly it doesn't help the dysphoria at all.
Karu
He is confused. Normally if something is causing you pain he just breaks it. Like when you stubbed your toe on the table, no more table no more problem. However he can't just rip your guts out, that would just make more of a problem. He tends to keep his distance unless you give him a specific task, once the task is over he's going back to keeping his distance though.
Dante
He is no help. Honestly he has no idea what to do. Normally the guys he's around only bleed when they are stabbed, but at least he knows how to dress a stab wound. This however, is out of his league. When this time starts he will assign a personal assistant to you to help. They have full permission to get you literally anything you need. Dante doesn't want to know about periods and assumes you don't want anyone to know about yours either, so your assistant is also sworn to secrecy.
Rei
No help in the beginning. I don't think he's been around many AFAB people so you are going to be his first reference point. After this happens a few times though he actually figures out the best ways to help you. He will learn what makes you feel better in terms of painkillers vs muscle relaxers, he learns if any foods make you feel worse and avoids them. Yeah he treats it like an experiment but as long as it helps in the long run he doesn't think it matters. Also he memorized all the early signs and is fully prepared for when it actually starts. I'm not sure how skilled he is with a scalpel (or if you can trust him with a scalpel) but he may offer to remove the problem if you want.
Eiden
I think he's the only one on this list who truly understands how much this week triggers your dysphoria. He will do anything he can help physically, but he is also extra protective of your masculinity during this time. He will literally fight anyone who misgenders you, and makes sure to give you lots of compliments. “Y’know most guys can't handle pain as well as you do. I've even seen knights cry at the sight of a paper cut haha!” He's very proud of you and will make sure you know just how manly you are.
Aster
Also kinda nasty so read at your own risk…. “Free meal”. He uh, gets pretty excited when it happens. He tells you stuff like “you look so handsome today~” and other masc compliments but it's all a ploy to get in your pants. Honestly he's more pushy than Morvay is when you're bleeding. It's just that the constant smell of your blood is impossible for him to ignore. He helps with pain management but is really only invested in the clean up.
Morvay
He heard an orgasm helps with cramps… this is the only thing he will do to help, but being a service bottom he does it so well. He will bring you food in bed, let you eat, make you cum till you can't see straight and pass you, rinse and repeat for a week. He gets so pouty if you leave because “doctor Morvay” just wants to make you feel better.

Quincy? In MY dead people show? It's more likely than you think!
I was rewatching an episode of Six Feet Under, one of my top-fave shows in this world, and one of the characters said, "I talked to the Quincy down at the morgue" and I was like, wait.
tf is a Quincy
Courtesy of Google, I learned it was a pop culture reference to the medical examiner down at the morgue, after the 70s/80s show, Quincy, M.E.
Does everyone else just know about this show naturally? Why did no one tell me?? Era/vibe-wise this aligns with a lot of Kubo's reference points (also lol that the Japanese air title was Doctor Detective Quincy, amazing), and blah blah Isshin's proto-canon career as mortician, a profession that would closely with MEs even without the shinigami thing; I feel like Kubo was definitely aware.
But setting that aside, the idea that I'm most interested in came while I was thinking about the fact that the SFU the character who said the line would have grown up while Quincy, M.E. was airing, and that that leads into why M.E.->Quincy a reference he'd easily make. (Also he's a restorative artist for a funeral home, but--) He's a little older than Ichigo et al, but I feel like Isshin definitely watched this show. And I just feel like, in-universe, this show played like a Bond Movie Marathon in the Kurosaki house. Like, pump the bass on that Asahi TV rerun. (Also, Quincy M.E.'s assistant is Japanese Canadian!) Ryuuken did not of his own volition see this show, but of course was aware of it. I just love the idea that the creation of "Quincy" as a pop culture term, as a reference to the interstices of death/doctors--regardless of whether it originated with THE Quincy or if they were only weathering serendipities of television--was circulating in the world like that, stage whispering about the ongoing existence of Quincy.

Modern AU. At least once a month, usually when Quincy needs something for their apartment, the gang will all pile into Ambrose’s car and go to the closest 24/7 Target and be menaces to society.
•Portia is lovingly caressing the stuffed animals in the toy isle
•Vincent keeps trying to shoplift
•Beatrix is gaslighting the employees into believing Vincent isn’t stealing
•Ambrose is trying to climb the shelves and workout with random objects
•Quincy just wanted some fucking pasta
Portia is literally my little sister
