Headcanons and thoughts about Warren and Hypno/Hippoworm (is that the ship name? *shrugs*)
I had a LOT of shipping thoughts about these two while at work today, so I hope you guys like hearing about them:
Because of getting his mezmeroo attack redirected back at him, Hypno doesnât remember his and Warrenâs first meeting. Though if someone told him about it - and about Warren ruining his plan - he honestly wouldnât hold THAT big of a grudge over it, just because he canât remember enough to be upset and itâs so far in the past now it doesnât even seem to matter
Given that they didnât interact much in âStuck on Youâ, Hypno doesnât remember that meeting either. Literally his first impression of this strange worm man is him literally dragging a chair into the ELoM meeting and then straight up zapping a hotel worker. So⊠pretty good first impression
Warren on the other hand, who does remember their first meeting, was not at all impressed with Hypno at first and just considered him to be a sub-standard villain at best. (heâs kinda jelly of just how big and tall he got to be thanks to his mutation though)
A few days after âEvil League of Mutantsâ/getting blasted off again by a turtle with a ladder, Hypno runs into a rather down and depressed looking Warren whoâs just wandering around alone. Not knowing him very well though liking him well enough, Hypno stops him and invites him back to his place for tea
(the semi-flashback during Warrenâs big speech in WaHSiaT, the bit where Hypno pulls the paper off a sad Warren with a five oâclock shadow is a dramatization of this. Gotta make it sadder to pull on the heartstrings, lol. Also where was his gauntlet in that scene?)
The two start hanging out regularly after that, mostly just talking or watching tv together - which is where they get their love of making fun of people on tv together
Warren also really appreciates Hypnoâs genuine kindness and gentleness - and the fact that he doesnât forget who he is, heh
He tries to be nice to Hypno in return because of this, even if he sometimes still talks a bit too much about himself at times. Hypno doesnât mind too much
The point where they first open up to each other - Hypno revealing how he lost his hippo Doug and Warren being genuine about just how much being forgotten and losing his career hurt - is the big turning point in their relationship.
Are we ever gonna learn what happened to Doug, btw? Like, seriously whatâs the story there? and while weâre at it why does Warren hate the turtles so much?Â
Hypno: âWe may have lost a lot through all this⊠But, hey, we found each other, right? So, maybe itâs not all bad.â Warren decides that he agrees.
He moves into Hypnoâs place shortly after
Originally Warren agreed to be Hypnoâs magical assistant just to try and get his face back out there and earn some fans, but eventually found that he also liked helping Hypno and making him happy
Warren just naturally sits on Hypnoâs shoulder or head when they watch tv, Hypno not minding at all (besides, makes it easier to cuddle)
their fave gameshows to watch (and make fun of) are Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right and Americaâs Got Talent (Hypno likes making fun of the bad magic acts, and when the acts are amazing Warren will tell him theyâre not NEARLY as amazing as him)
When Warren has a bad day, Hypno will wash/condition his hair and give him a scalp massage, letting his roomie vent all he wants while Hypno scrubs his troubles away
When Hypno has a bad day, Warren will get him fresh fruit, something Hypnoâs loved ever since his mutation
On one occasion: âKiwis for my favorite kiwi!â ââŠ*sigh* You just couldnât resist, eh?â âNope!âÂ
Warren also gets Hypno flowers sometimes, since Hypno really seems to like them
Hypno may or may not be keeping the first bouquet Warren ever bought him - yellow tipped with red roses - alive with magic
Trying to be as proper and dignified as possible, Hypno almost never curses - which means Warren totally teases him whenever he lets a âbuggerâ or a âgod dammitâ slip
Warren on the other hand couldnât care less about swears. He doesnât swear every other sentence or anything - Iâd imagine it would be hard to get a job in television if that were the case - but if heâs really worked up or angry he wonât try to censor himself
For the first few weeks of their relationship, Google was Warrenâs best friend. Now, Warren knows (almost) every New Zealand phrase there is
Going off his âmy golden voiced amigoâ line, Hypno loves listening to Warren sing to himself whenever heâs in the shower (technically the bathroom sink since heâd just end up getting washed down the shower drain but w/e)
This also means that karaoke nights between the two of them are frequent
Their first Big Fight was over Hypnoâs doves continuing to try and eat Warren and Warren nearly zapping their feathers off.Â
It wasnât bad enough to break them up, but Warren was all pissy and purposely annoying the rest of that day while Hypno just gave him the cold shoulder
After a day of this they got lonely and missed each other, so they apologized to each other and Hypno spent the rest of that week diligently training his doves
Hypnoâs rabbits, on the other hand, Warren doesnât mind at all, and if one is out and hopping about and Hypno isnât there, Warren will usually pet it/curl up on it
Warrenâs a naturally fairly neat and tidy person, so he doesnât mind too much when Hypno skips out on his side of the chores, even if heâs still slightly annoyed
to make up for this, Hypno does most of the cooking around the place and always has a cup of coffee or tea waiting for his roomie/best friend/boyfriend
When they first realized Warren and the Gauntlet were being hunted down by Draxum, Warren tried to leave, genuinely worried about Hypnoâs safety even if he tried to play it off at first
Hypno refuses. âI canât lose you too!â
This is the first time they tell each other they love each other (with how naturally Warren said it in WaHSiaT, that couldnât have been the first time)
Warren fell into a depressive state after losing âCharlotteâ. Hypno comforted him the best he could, but after a couple days passing with nothing changing, Hypno thought that maybe Warren was mad at him for the role he played in losing the gauntlet. So, Hypno spent the whole day and a good part of the night out of the apartment, figuring he should just give Warren some space
This led to him coming back and finding Warren in the middle of a complete and total emotional breakdown
Heâs sad and angry about losing his cool power glove, but even moreso, heâs afraid that without it not only is he weak, but heâs truly forgettable and useless - even to the people he loves most and who love him. His Channel 6 co-workers forgot about him, why wouldnât Hypno eventually?
This led to LOTS of apologizing/comforting/reassuring/hugs and kisses on Hypnoâs part, with Warren eventually crying himself out on Hypnoâs shoulder and the two of the sleeping on the couch together
After going back to Clemâs and not finding another magic artifact that feels as ârightâ as the gauntlet did and discovering that a simple handgun would send him through a freaking wall on recoil, Warren decided to just have a taser on him as his new weapon. At least a taser is similar enough to a lightning-shooting gauntlet. He names it Charlotte the 2nd.
Hypno also uses his magic to shrink down a couple of his razor rings to give to Warren. Even if Warren canât control their aim with magic, they still cause a decent amount of damage to an enemy with a hard enough throw.
Despite practically being together since Warren moved in, when the two of them officially decide to go from best friends to boyfriends they end up inviting all their old ELoM mates over to celebrate and announce the good news (minus Draxum, naturally). Todd and the Sando Brothers are happy for them, Repo could care less, and Meatsweats says congrats but is mostly just trying to figure out how to get Warren alone so he can maybe get a taste of his regeneration powers
He gets smacked on the snout with Hypnoâs wand and nearly takes a razor ring to his face for his troubles.
Hypno still tries to help Warren with his plans whenever heâs a particular ârevenge against those dang turtlesâ mood and Warren will assist when Hypno has a scheme of his own, but mostly the two of them keep each other satisfied enough that they spend most of their time hanging out, watching tv and practicing magic (and cuddling/kissing) together
PHEW! Like I said, I had a lot. BUT I hope you guys liked it! ^v^ btw, I may turn that whole emotional breakdown bit into a Hippoworm oneshot, but if any hardcore Warren and Hypno shippers wanna steal that idea, go for it! *thumbs up* ^v^
