Could I please request headcanons for how the BB would react/handle their SO having a book addiction? Like, often when they go out, reader will ask to visit the bookshop and insist that they're just browsing. Half an hour later, they walk out of the store with a stack of new books. Or there being piles of books around readers sleeping/living space and it's almost become a tripping hazard.
Thank you for all your work, I love reading whatever you write! Here's a sandwich for your troubles 🥪 'K thanks bye! *scurries away like a rat*
TBB x gn reader: S/O who loves books headcanons
warnings: none
notes: this was such a cute req omg. also literally me with the books becoming a tripping hazard thing, I need more bookshelves very badly lol all the money I probably should've spent on furniture for my apt has gone to books and cooking supplies
Hunter:
So at first Hunter doesn't think much of your love of reading. You like books. Okay. But then every time you're in the vicinity of a bookstore you're leaving to go browse and emerging with a new stack of books and he's like ...oh. huh. starts to become kind of like fondly exasperated by it
Every time you insist you're "just browsing", Hunter knows he's about to be standing around doing nothing for the next thirty minutes. He'll lean against a shelf, arms crossed, watching you wander around sections with the resigned expression of a man who has definitely lost this battle many times before
Secretly thinks it's cute seeing you completely absorbed in a book. There have probably been multiple occasions where he's gone looking for you only to find you curled up somewhere with a book having completely lost track of time, and he finds it very endearing
Genuinely baffled by how quickly you go through books. Constantly asking you where you're even finding the time to read all of them
Doesn't call out the piles of books scattered around until they become a safety issue. Like he doesn't care until he nearly trips over a stack in the middle of the night and then the next morning you're getting a gruff lecture about organizing your things before somebody gets hurt
Tech:
Tech kinda enjoys your "book addiction" largely because he enjoys hearing you talk about things you're passionate about. Even if he has no interest in a particular story, he'll like hearing you explain it to him and discuss it with you
Mildly confused by your preference for physical books. Digital archives are more efficient, portable, and can't be damaged. He's explained this several times. You continue buying physical books anyway, much to his bewilderment
Occasionally reads alongside you. His tastes tend to skew towards nonfiction but he still enjoys just sharing space and reading quietly with you, or tinkering quietly with something while you read next to him
If he encounters a book he thinks you'd enjoy, he brings it home to give to you without a second thought despite all of his insistence that physical books are impractical
Doesn't really care about your stacks of books being everywhere because his own space is a fucking disaster (as in it makes sense to him but absolutely no one else). But if your books start encroaching on the main areas he uses, he's immediately designing shelves and proposing more efficient storage solutions while muttering pointedly that digital libraries would eliminate this problem entirely
Wrecker:
Wrecker is endlessly fascinated by the fact that you genuinely enjoy reading for fun. He cannot relate in the slightest but thinks it's cute that you love it so much
Loves asking what your current book is about even if it's not his thing, likes hearing you explain it to him and talk about what you like about it. Good luck ever trying to get him to read any but he likes hearing you tell him the stories
Whenever he spots a bookstore, he'll go in and try to pick something out for you. His choices are hit or miss but the effort's always sweet. Often ends up picking things that he'd probably like more than you would but is awful at actually finishing books
If he's having trouble sleeping, he'll sometimes ask you to read aloud to him. Always falls asleep within a few pages though
He has absolutely no issue with the mountains of books around your living space. He'll trip over a stack and just. get up and keep walking. If you give him a look he looks sheepish, restacks them approximately where they were with a joking apology to them, and then continues on as though nothing happened
Crosshair:
Crosshair teases you relentlessly about always having your nose buried in a book. He'll make comments about how you're going to walk straight into a wall one day because you weren't paying attention
Every bookstore trip earns at least one sarcastic remark. "Another one? Haven't even finished the last ten yet." Still waits patiently while you browse though
He's not much of a reader compared to you, but he appreciates quiet activities in general. Often ends up sitting in the same room while you read, cleaning his rifle or working on something. Will very rarely read something too
Crosshair has absolutely no patience for your books taking over the room. If they start piling up everywhere, he'll pointedly move them out of the way while making dry comments about whether you were trying to build a fortress or something. His remarks become increasingly more sarcastic/passive-aggressive the longer you don't do anything about it
Eventually he'll put his foot down if the clutter gets bad enough. Helps you stack/organize them better while complaining the entire time
Echo:
Echo enjoys reading too and understands the appeal more than most of the Batch. Your tastes might not always overlap, but he likes swapping recommendations and talking about books you've both finished
Every time you disappear into a bookstore "just to look," Echo rolls his eyes and teases you a little, but always ends up carrying some of your purchases for you after
If he sees a book that he thinks you'll like/reminds him of you he'll pick it up without a second thought. Honestly really likes surprising you with little gifts and they often end up being books
Enjoys spending downtime reading together. Doesn't matter if you're reading completely different things, he just likes the company. He'll try to start conversations sometimes though which can be annoying if you're trying to read lol
The book piles drive him absolutely insane, especially if they start becoming obstacles. One day you come home to discover shelves have mysteriously appeared, every book has been sorted into categories, and there's an irritated looking Echo finishing up. When you thank him he just grumbles that somebody had to do something before the place became a hazard
HII hehe i'm so happy reqs are back open i loveee your writing so much it's soo comforting to read especially when i'm not feeling well..🥹
ok i'm not sure if this falls into the scenario or headcanons category but would you be up for writing the bad batch as little cadets meeting the reader (who is a young jedi padawan around the same age as them) for the first time and falling in love? timeline wise i guess it doesn't really make sense but i think it'd be so cute..👀 thank you bye bye!!
cadet!Bad Batch x padawan!reader: crush headcanons
warnings: none
notes: did hcs because I have thoughts on what the Batch were like when they were younger and I thought it'd be easier to get across through hcs
Hunter:
Hunter doesn't realize right away he has a crush on you, he just starts wanting to impress you a lot. He's still kinda figuring himself out and since his enhancement isn't really as flashy/obvious as his brothers', he's constantly trying to prove himself
Gets weirdly competitive whenever you're around, even with his brothers. If Tech finishes some assignment first or Crosshair makes a difficult shot, Hunter's immediately trying to match or do better. He's not jealous of them, he just desperately wants you to think he's impressive too
Very flustered by praise though, like if he impresses you and then you compliment him he suddenly doesn't know what to do with it, looks away and mumbles something awkward like he wasn't actually expecting his efforts to work
Gets overwhelmed/goes into sensory overload a bit more when he's young and eventually finds that sitting with you when you're meditating really soothes him. He doesn't really understand the Force but just knows that whenever he's around you everything just feels a little calmer or quieter, so whenever he can seek you out after difficult days he does
Asks you a lot of questions about being a Jedi and being Force-sensitive and stuff just because it's kinda the closest thing he can think of to his own enhancement even though it's obviously fundamentally different. But it still helps him relate a little
Tech:
Tech is awkward around you unless he’s got something specific he can talk about/demonstrate his knowledge of. Tends to kinda talk at you instead of with you. But he’s also very used to being kinda tuned out by people or told to shut up if he goes into lengthy explanations of things so if you make an effort to actually engage with him he’s kinda thrilled
Likes drawing things for you. He draws a lot of like diagrams and stuff and ideas for ship designs and weapon designs and random things he thinks of that he wants to build sometime, and whenever he comes up with something he thinks you'll like he gives it to you
Doesn't realize that what he feels for you is a crush, he just knows that he likes talking to you, that he remembers things you tell him, that he always looks for you when he knows you're around
Can be really snarky and arrogant, though he doesn't really realize that, but it's never really been a problem until you. You're the one that makes him realize he needs to kinda tone the bluntness down sometimes
Likes collecting information about your interests and then telling you a bunch of facts and stuff on them whenever you're around because he figured you'd enjoy hearing them. Him engaging with your interests is really how he expresses how much he likes you and cares about you
Wrecker:
Wrecker's crush on you probably develops near instantly. He thinks it's so cool that you're not only a Jedi but like. nice to them? hell yeah
Very playfully competitive with you, whenever he's doing anything he's asking you to join in and whenever he learns about something you can do he immediately wants to challenge you to do it. Doesn't matter what it is and he barely even cares who wins, he just likes doing things with you while getting to show off a little AND see cool things you can do
Kinda protective of you in that if he ever sees anyone being mean to/teasing you he's stepping in and probably threatening them/getting in a fight depending who it is lol
Lovesss when you compliment him/praise his strength. He's used to being the strong one already but having you tell him he's impressive it hits harder cause he thinks you're impressive too. Remembers every compliment you give him and smiles whenever he thinks about them
Physical affection comes very naturally to him esp when he's young, so he's sitting next to you whenever possible, throwing an arm around your shoulder, hugging you almost whenever he sees you, etc
Crosshair:
Honestly Crosshair also probably develops a crush on you near immediately but is then going to pretend he doesn't like you for the next several months. He doesn't get mean, though, he just becomes even quieter whenever you're around and a little self-conscious. Used to most of his interactions with people his age outside of the Batch being like. him being teased and then him combatting by being super mean cause he's the least physically capable of his brothers. prob has a reputation for biting people's heads off
Pretty quiet just in general, only really talks around his brothers, but you notice he starts hovering around you a lot whenever you're around. Sitting at the same table. Taking the same routes. Just like trying to run into you or even just SEE you
But then you see him train and suddenly he's the cockiest person you've ever met in your life. He knows he's the best shot there is and he's determined to make sure you know it too. Keeps subtly glancing at you after every perfect shot to make sure you noticed
Secretly really wants your approval. A compliment from you will keep him quietly happy for days. Always brushes it off with a muttered "I know" but he's replaying it in his head for the next month
Honestly he secretly kinda treasures every tiny interaction with you. The fact that you pay attention to him at all feels special in a way he can't really put into words. You're pretty much the first person outside of his brothers he's ever even liked and doesn't feel like he has to constantly be on guard around
i ate up the fox x shy reader fic it was so cute.. i'm lowk shy myself so it really resonated with me
i would love if you could write some tbb x shy!reader hcs as well!! maybe the reader is assigned to be their jedi general and of course they all collectively groan because they're expecting someone who's bossy, strict, and won't agree with their unorthodox tactics—but it turns out the reader is really meek/quiet and gets progressively more shy around a certain batcher as their feelings for them grow more prominent.. maybe the said batcher would think it's a little cute even
TBB x gn shy!Jedi!reader headcanons
warnings: none
Hunter:
Hunter is…skeptical when he learns the Batch is being assigned a Jedi commander. He's expecting someone who's gonna want to change the way the Batch does things and he's annoyed that he's essentially gonna have someone there vetting every order he gives. So when he meets you, shy and quiet and meek, he honestly does not know what to do with you
Honestly, at first, he kinda doubts whether you can keep up with them. It's not that he thinks you're weak, you're literally a Jedi, but the Batch is loud and chaotic and standard procedure is, um, more of a suggestion than anything to them. He kinda assumes you're gonna get overwhelmed and reassigned pretty quickly
Because of that, he has a bad habit of overstepping early on. If you hesitate too long before giving an order, he fills the silence. He tweaks a lot of your plans often without asking. He doesn't exactly mean to undermine you but he's so used to being the one in command that he forgets you're supposed to be leading too. Like he will straight up just be like nah we're not gonna do that when you give an order he doesn't like. ????
He quickly learns, however, that your gentleness isn't the same thing as uncertainty and there's a reason you were assigned to them. You listen before you command, you notice small details, maybe you're good at de-escalating situations. He starts to kinda rein himself in and grows to really respect you and what you bring to the squad
Over time he also starts getting protective in a way that he tries very hard to pretend is purely professional. Gets very sharp whenever someone outside the Batch talks over you or mistakes your softness for permission to disrespect you
When your attitude towards him starts to change as well, he misreads it at first. He realizes you're getting quieter around him, stumbling over your words, just overall seeming more shy, and his first assumption is that he's been too overbearing or something
But then when he realizes no, you're just flustered by him in like, a good way, he's both shocked and kind of endeared. Starts really liking your flustered reactions and so he leans into it a little bit. Just doing little things like leaning in to murmur in your ear "You alright, General?" really low when he wants to check in on you, just because he likes the way you blush
Tech:
Tech isn't as openly doubtful as the others when you're assigned to them because he figures you were assigned to them for a reason and leadership ability can't necessarily be accurately predicted off a first impression. That said, he's still mildly skeptical, because your quietness doesn't immediately inspire confidence in a squad that frequently treats direct orders as loose suggestions. He tells you as much very bluntly
He's more observant than dismissive. While Hunter worries you'll be steamrolled by the Batch, Tech just kinda studies the way you operate. He honestly picks up on your strengths faster than the others
Still pretty sharp with you in the beginning but it's mostly unintentional and it's not personal. He corrects orders you give to be more specific/technically accurate or asks very bluntly for clarification on plans you come up with or points it out when you hesitate and can make kinda snarky comments a lot. Probably unintentionally contributes a lot to you being shy around them tbh
He is genuinely fascinated by your command style, though. You don't fight their unorthodox methods, you don't bark orders, you trust that they know what they're doing. He's pretty much keeping running mental list of situations where your quieter approach produced better results than a more aggressive strategy would've
He grows pretty admiring of you pretty fast. Starts backing you up if others question you and finds that he really enjoys your quiet company, like when he's working on things
When you start getting even more shy around him, he's confused. He assumes there's some kind of external stressor affecting your behavior and starts trying to identify it. Makes you even more flustered by like bluntly asking what's the matter when you're having difficulty maintaining eye contact or blushing or tripping over your words and stuff
The actual realization that you're developing feelings for him comes very late and probably only after someone else points it out. Once he knows, everything clicks into place and he finds himself paying even closer attention to you because he finds the way you react to him kinda fascinating lol
Wrecker:
Wrecker's not sure what to make of you when he meets you just because he's got a lot of different ideas of what a typical Jedi is like and you don't really fit into any of them lol. He's not really that skeptical of you, but he's a little wary of how things are supposed to work with you in the picture now
Has a bad habit in the beginning of always glancing at Hunter for confirmation that he's actually supposed to obey your orders whenever you give them. Honestly half the time he can barely tell if you're giving an order or a suggestion because he's used to orders being, you know, loud and commanding
Also if you're particularly quiet he literally cannot hear you. Has to duck his head and ask you to repeat yourself half the time you speak
He becomes clearly fond of you faster than the others though. As soon as he realizes you're not here to disrupt things/change the way the Batch does things and are rather just trying to guide/contribute he warms up pretty quick
Gets a little protective of you, like if someone interrupts you he'll cut them off like "Hey, the General was talking" and stuff like that. Also hypes you up a lot when you stand your ground or do impressive things in battle or come up with a particularly good plan
If you start developing feelings and get more shy/flustered around him he starts worrying that he's too much for you and starts trying to give you more space. He can't help but find it kinda cute though when you like duck your head when he compliments you or get flustered whenever he reaches out to steady you and stuff. So the "giving you space" thing proves very difficult for him
Once the possibility clicks that you're into him, he practically melts on the spot. He's delighted. Starts looking absurdly proud every time he makes you blush. Probably falls for you very hard and fast as well
Crosshair:
Crosshair isn't happy when the Batch is assigned a Jedi and he makes that very clear. It's less about you specifically and more just that he likes the way things work now and is apprehensive of changes to the way the Batch operates. He also kinda finds it insulting cause it's like. they work perfectly as is why the fuck is this happening. The fact that you're meek and quiet only makes him more skeptical that this arrangement is going to work
He is difficult in the beginning, though not really in a disobedient way. He questions your judgement, yeah, and makes dry comments when you hesitate, but he still follows your orders exactly. He may not be excited about it but from his perspective he's still a soldier and you're still his commander. If Hunter overrules you tho he listens to Hunter instead lol
Honestly it's hard for you to figure him out for a while just because he throws you off a lot. He'll mutter something cutting about you but then the next second is putting a bolt through a droid that he decided was a little too close to you. Will act like your plans are ridiculous but then execute his part of it flawlessly. Will complain about being assigned to you but covers your blind spots so naturally it's like he's always been doing it
When you don't snap back at every comment he makes or pull rank just to prove you can or treat his attitude like something that needs to be fixed, he starts getting a little more comfortable with you. Honestly, he's one of the first ones to warm up to you even though it really doesn't show lol
Honestly? He kinda likes having you around once he's over his initial skepticism about your capabilities. You don't crowd him or demand conversation. His sarcasm becomes a little less venomous and a little more banter-y
Picks up on it pretty fast when you start getting a crush on him because he's so observant. He teases you about it because he has no idea how else to handle it. Tilts his head and sneers like "Something wrong, General?" when he notices you getting flustered around him or will make some dry comment about you being quieter than usual just to watch you blush. It sounds mean to anyone else but there's a softness underneath it that you're starting to recognize
Echo:
Echo's the most reasonable when you're assigned to the Batch. He's maybe mildly skeptical but he hasn't been with the Batch long either, recognizes that things change, can adapt to different command structures, and knows that your quietness doesn't automatically mean you're fragile. You're still a Jedi, after all
He treats you like a commanding officer from the start, which is noticeable because the others kind of don't? Like if you give an order and the others hesitate or look to Hunter first, Echo is the one who dryly reminds them that you did, in fact, just tell them what to do
He's blunt with you but not unkind. If the Batch talks over you or you back down too quickly he encourages you to repeat yourself/stand up for yourself. He isn't about to coddle you but he does want to see you more comfortable with them and in command and does what he can to help with that
Really appreciates you and your leadership more and more when he sees how seriously you take their opinions like asking for their input, checking in after difficult missions, recognizing that not only do they already have a system that works but they're also people who are struggling to adjust to a big change to their very tight-knit group. He notices your consideration and is pleased with it
When you start getting shy around specifically him, Echo figures out pretty early on that you're developing a crush. He refuses to acknowledge it outright, though. Not only is it, you know, very against the rules, but he also doesn't want to embarrass you or, even worse, learn that he was reading the situation totally wrong. But you notice that his check-ins start becoming a little more personal and he starts finding more excuses to be around you more often
June 15 is the anniversary of both the Night Vale and Gravity Falls pilots, as well as Vanessa Doofenshmirtz’s birthday and “give it up for day 15” day
I also love the idea of dathomir zabraks (maybe zabraks in general but dathomir gives big cats vibes) being able to purr, also the idea of them being able to roar (might just be a sith thing but I don’t care it’s my canon now). Due to their size though I imagine it more on par with mountain lion sounding purr (still very cute but intimidating). Funnily enough big cats that roar cannot purr, and the ones that purr cannot roar.
Wait you're so right about them having big cat energy. I see a lot of comparisons of zabraks to cats in general and half of Maul's facial expressions are very disgruntled housecat to me anyway lol but Dathomir as a whole definitely gives big cat/mountain lion. I had to look up what mountain lions sound like when they purr and they're so perfect for this it's so cute but also wow that thing could kill me
I also like the roar thing, I didn't know that big cats can either roar or purr but not both, that's interesting. But star wars biology can have a little nonsense as a treat. I'm willing to let zabraks both purr and roar they deserve it. Maul's roar also just makes me laugh so like. let em all do it
I'm torn between "Ferb would talk more without Phineas to speak for him (and he wouldn't like it)" vs "Ferb wouldn't talk at all if he hadn't met Phineas"
hi!! first of all, I just wanted to say how much I've adored your take on Maul 😭 I feel like you capture him in a way that's intense and intimidating but still lets him feel like an actual person underneath it all, which is such a difficult balance to strike.
This is also an incredibly specific request and you absolutely do not have to write it, but I have a very niche Maul headcanon that has been living in my brain for a while. I personally headcanon that Maul would purr.
Maybe it's something reader doesn't discover right away because he'd be absolutely horrified if anyone pointed it out, but after they're together for a while reader starts noticing this low rumbling sound whenever he's particularly relaxed, sleepy, comfortable, or being affectionate without realizing it 😭 Maul probably gets increasingly annoyed every time they bring attention to it 👹
Totally no pressure though! I know I request a lot and I feel bad but I just couldn't stop thinking about it and immediately thought of your Maul fic when the idea popped into my head 🖤 I just love your writing so much
Undisturbed
Maul x gn reader
description: Maul purrs when you cuddle with him lol
warnings: none
notes: I've actually seen this hc before and I LOVE it so I leaned into the softness a lil more with this one
At first, whenever you sat beside Maul as he meditated, you always made sure to keep a careful distance between your shoulder and his. He didn't look at you as you lowered yourself down beside him, nor did he acknowledge the way you folded your legs and tried to mimic his stillness. But he also didn't tell you to leave, which you took as permission.
Over time, the distance between you had become smaller incrementally. You started sitting close enough that your sleeve sometimes brushed his arm, and then you let your knee rest lightly against his. Then you leaned your shoulder into him, and although his breathing changed so subtly that anyone else would've missed it, he remained exactly where he was, as if pretending your weight against his side had no effect on him at all.
Eventually, it became routine for you to curl up against him while he meditated, with your cheek pressed to his chest and one of his arms settled loosely around you. He'd made some excuse once about how your nearness forced him to tolerate distraction, which you didn't argue with. Even when his arm started tightening around you, definitely betraying that he enjoyed the closeness whether he'd admit it or not.
That's when you started noticing the sound. Just a low, rumbling vibration in his chest that you could feel humming against your cheek. It always happened when Maul had been still for a long while and his expression had softened just the tiniest bit, when your breathing had evened out against him and all else was quiet.
The realization of what exactly was going on hit you one day when you were half-asleep, your head resting against the center of his chest while one of his arms was looped around your waist. You were listening almost absently to that low rumble that came from deep in his chest, too sleepy to really register it until it hit you all at once.
Your eyes opened. Maul's eyes snapped open immediately after, suspicious like he'd sensed your thought forming and was already irritated.
"You're…you're purring," you said, delighted by the realization.
Maul stiffened and the sound stopped so abruptly that you almost felt guilty. "Go back to sleep."
You tilted your head up to look at him, keeping your cheek pressed to his chest. Your mouth was slowly curving upwards despite your best efforts to keep your expression neutral. "That wasn't a denial…" you pointed out.
"It was an instruction," Maul replied lowly, just a little snappishly. His arm around your waist didn't loosen in the slightest, though. "One you would be wise to obey."
You ignored the order. "You were purring," you said again instead, almost to yourself. You pressed your cheek harder against his chest like it would somehow bring the sound back. "I didn't even know you could do that."
Maul inhaled slowly like he was forcing himself in check, his eyes narrowed at you. "Do not be presumptuous," he scoffed. "Is it so shocking that there are things you have not yet learnt about me?"
It was such an obvious deflection that you had to try hard not to laugh, because you were pretty sure that laughing would make him dump you on the floor out of spite. "Fair point," you agreed. "But this may be my favorite thing I've learnt so far."
You could swear Maul almost rolled his eyes. "A meaningless physical response?"
"Not meaningless," you mumbled, pressing your face into his chest affectionately. "It means you're comfortable."
"It means I am undisturbed," he corrected you pointedly, though his arm shifted a little higher on your waist to draw you more securely against him in a way that kind of ruined whatever point he was trying to make.
You hummed softly and let your eyes drift closed again, deciding you'd irritated him enough for now. "All right. I won't disturb you then."
For several moments, Maul stayed rigid, still staring down at you. Then, little by little, the tension eased from him. He exhaled quietly, his arm loosening a little around your waist, and eventually, that low rumble in his chest returned.
You kept your face carefully tucked against him, hiding the smile you knew he could probably feel anyway.
"Not," Maul murmured firmly above you, "a word."
You bit your lip to keep the words down and obeyed only because that purr meant you'd already won anyway.
