i haven’t spoken much about daehyun so look out folks -- here’s some headcanons about my favorite reaper!!

keep in mind he’s based upon the reapers from goblin so!! he functions like a normal human being would except... he’s not a human being and has some supernatural abilities!

favorite food?? he’s partial to pizza and any kind of chicken-based dish!

and seaweed soup bc soojin has made it for him every year after the second time he sent her off into her next life :’ )

since they can’t possibly know his birthday, she makes it on the anniversary of her second death/meeting with daehyun bc “ twice might just be a coincidence but i don’t believe in those -- this friendship was fated!! ”

that black hat all reapers have to keep the humans from seeing them? his is a dad hat bc fancy clothes are uncomfortable and impractical for his job

also it would drive him nuts if he had a fancy hat but wore casual clothes!! gross!!

and he just prefers casual clothes overall. jackets are fun and anything other than dress shoes are comfy!

without fail, dae has cried or at the very least teared up every time he’s sent a spirit off

tbh he likes to act as if everything is such a chore, but he’s so soft and sentimental and actually feels really happy to see these souls find peace and is all broken up when they’ve died before their time

ok i’m crying bc he’s crying HE’S AN EMOTIONAL, SWEET BABY BOY

dae: idgaf B( narrator: he did, in fact, gaf

probably gets too attached to the humans in his life bc yeah, they’re eventually gonna die or he’s gonna be relocated, but he can’t help it -- he really loves people

soojin has been picking out names for daehyun since the beginning of their friendship -- daehyun isn’t the first name he’s had, and it won’t be the last

that being said, for the sake of having a backstory in case a human should ask about him, he typically claims being related to soojin and then tries to weasel his way out of having to say anything else

btw he’s really bad at lying my guys

one final thing! daehyun is very much about changing the things you can and not stressing over what you can’t change bc otherwise!! he might drive himself nuts. why is he stuck as a reaper?? well he doesn’t and can’t know, and he can’t change that he’s a reaper, but he CAN reduce his time by hunting down these lost souls, so that’s what he’s gonna do!!

HEADCANON 004    “ mama, i hope you’re proud of me. ”

     something i wanna yell about!! is paige’s mom!! and how she views paige!! ahhh!!!!

     one of paige’s biggest fears is finding out her mom blames her for her dad’s death because in paige’s mind, that blame would be entirely justified. she was a kid, but she should have known better than to let a stranger into their home, even if that stranger said he was a friend of theirs. but it would destroy paige if her mother ever told her that yes, it was her fault.

     which is why it’s a good thing mrs. sanders doesn’t believe that at all, and were she ever to find out that’s how paige viewed things, she’d put an end to it then and there. that tragedy has never been paige’s fault in her eyes but rather an unfortunate result of her and her husband’s choices -- their own actions caught up to them, and mr. sanders sadly paid the price. not that they did anything bad, but you tend to make enemies when you protect people, pick sides.

     it’s why mrs. sanders never let them stay in one place for long. she was always afraid of their choices catching up to them again, of losing paige like she lost her husband. but it’s because of paige that she agrees to stay put long enough to let her attend college. her love for paige is stronger than her fear, and for her sake, she has to believe they can tackle whatever might come their way. paige deserves a life that is more than wandering and fighting. it’s what her parents wanted for her from the beginning, and mrs. sanders lost sight of that.

     i’m sleepy so i can’t think of how i want to end this exactly, but bottom line!! mrs. sanders loves paige so, so much, wants the best for her baby, and is a bit overprotective... or a lot. but she’s never blamed her. not once.

GUARDIAN: THE LONELY AND GREAT GOD (GOBLIN) • EPISODE 1.02 — below you will find lines of dialogue from the second episode of the kdrama goblin. feel free to adjust them as you need for roleplay. tw. discussions of death and immortality.

when a ghost talks to me in english, it’s scarier. if i abandon you, summon me. that’ll be faster than the embassy. must i really forget everything? oblivion is also a consideration from god. i once thought of my immortality as a prize, but my living is a punishment. i can’t forget any of their deaths. being an illegal immigrant is better than being tardy, right? i feel like a woke up from a dream. the evening you come home after getting rained on, what is the thing that’s like an umbrella to you? from the very first to the very last, i’ll stand by your side. if you’re wearing a uniform and have dead fish eyes, you’re probably a senior. curiosity will always beat dignity. it seems like you’ve got everything, but why do you still look so sad? i want to have a perfect and intellectual look no matter when and where. this generation listens to everything via files. i’m going to ruin you. be careful of a man who wears a hat. don’t seek death, death will seek you. i know you see me. i know i’m caught. my name’s not even on the list of the dead. do i look like i want an explanation? let’s run. there’s always a way if we run. looks like i’m the bad guy here. you look like you’ve got a lot to say. i’ve lived longer than 900 years, i’m not looking for a pretty person. if you did discover something in me, you’d be resenting me. i had no right to hate him from the start. you think i came here because i had extra gas?

little things about paige bc wow do i love her!!

hates math, horrible at math!

favorite color is red, though she went through a period of hating it

likes darker, muted colors in general tho!

iced coffee is superior to hot coffee except!! when it’s cold and nighttime!

her lifestyle didn’t exactly give her a lot of time to experiment with makeup, so she wears the basics -- foundation or bb cream, mascara, and usually tinted gloss or lip balm

her day-to-day wardrobe consists of flannels, graphic t-shirts, skinny jeans, and sneakers! sometimes boots!

100% acts out social situations in her head 

despite her addiction to coffee, paige enjoys tea quite a bit! her favorite is probably thai

board games of choice? risk and any variation of scene it!

Modern Family, Clean Out Your Junk Drawer (S07E08)

[eachlight]

HEADCANON 003    “ i hope what you did to me haunts you. ”

     tw for death and manipulation

     when paige was 17, she and her mother met up with two hunters -- a married couple who the sanders family had actually known for quite some time. they were like an aunt and uncle who paige would occasionally see, mainly during the holiday season. when she and her mom started moving around, the times they would all be together were some of paige’s favorite memories. her mom would smile more, and paige’s “ uncle ” would tell her stories about her dad; her aunt would tease her for her taste in music, and paige would almost feel normal.

     when they met up this time, though, it was because of a particularly haunted home that her aunt and uncle couldn’t take care of on their own; the spirits were bound there by magic, a curse. so they called in paige and mrs. sanders. when that was taken care of, it was suggested that they stay together and take a load off for a while because thanksgiving was right around the corner, and GOD it had been too long since they’d had a proper thanksgiving meal. and so they stayed.

     in the meantime, paige got a part time job at a bookstore not only for the extra money but for the chance to get out of the house. that’s where she met mia.

     paige knew for a while that she was bi, but if there was any doubt, it was quickly forgotten when mia walked into that bookstore. they clicked right off the bat, even if paige stumbled over her words and made too many geeky references, and over the next few weeks, the two girls became increasingly close. 

     mia made her happy, so happy!! she wasn’t into comics and sci fi, but she read a lot like paige did, and she always listened to her ramble. she encouraged paige to pursue the things she wanted -- like school, which she applied for after mia pushed her to -- and she was there for paige on the nights she couldn’t sleep. she was paige’s first kiss, clumsy and chaste, so brief that paige almost thought she imagined it. 

     she was paige’s first heartbreak and her first betrayal, as well. as it would turn out, mia was there to kill paige’s aunt and uncle, and she used paige to get to them. she isn’t sure why, even now. neither she nor her mom were home when it happened, but paige was the one to find them.

     there wasn’t a note, nor any clues indicating who killed her aunt and uncle. paige didn’t have any reason to believe it was mia until she couldn’t get in contact with her, couldn’t find her, couldn’t find a single thing on the internet indicating mia was at all real. then there was a text from mia. it was a simple, vague apology, and paige knew then that she had been used.

     she’s never told her mom, afraid that her mom might hate her. paige hasn’t ever told anyone about this, in fact, and likely will never tell anyone the entire truth if she opens up about it.

HEADCANON 002    “ having prophetic dreams again, but it’s not any of your business!! ”

     i mentioned in a previous post that paige inherited her mother’s affinity for divination magic, and i wanted to talk a little more about that! 

     so mrs. sanders has always preferred reading tea leaves over other methods because it’s what she grew up with, and naturally paige was taught the same method and came to prefer it as well. however!! paige has also come to rely on tarot cards and scrying -- tarot cards for when she’s anxious and wants advice, and scrying when she needs more definite, straight forward answers. 

     now, she also has dreams every so often that turn out to be visions, but this kind of divination isn’t something that can be taught. it’s an ability that develops on its own, and those prone to these visions also tend to make wonderful mediums. but paige tries to avoid talking to the dead -- ghosts creep her out.

     her mom gets these visions, too, though she has more experience with them and can discern between normal dreams and her visions whereas paige still has difficulty telling the difference. they’re often brought on by anxiety over a situation, heightened stress over events yet to come, etc. more experienced witches, like mrs. sanders, are able to induce these kinds of visions, but it is wiser to avoid using this ability too much. it is said witches who rely too heavily on their clairvoyance end up going mad from knowing too much.

     paige isn’t the biggest fan of this ability, which is why she turns to tarot cards when she begins to feel particularly stressed. she tries very hard to avoid experiencing visions. one would think she’d LOVE to know future events because she takes so much pleasure in gaining new knowledge, but paige actually finds it unsettling and hates the weight of this kind of information. there have been occasions when she saw something she could have avoided but failed to figure out how, and these failures played a huge part in her aversion to clairvoyance.

     her mom tried to talk her into practicing and honing her gift, but paige won’t have it. she’d much rather ignore it and deal with her problems the old fashioned way, thank you very much!

     so in short: using divination for guidance and perspective, maybe even for a little information-gathering? okay!! using divination to know exactly what’s going to happen for sure?? disgusting, doesn’t want it, absolutely vile!!

[lovelustquotes]

They called her naive for believing in the good in people. But she was just a loving soul, who thought that even monsters needed someone, who truly believed, they were angels once and they can be it again. And yes, maybe that was naive, but this world needed people like her.

Veronika Jensen (via lovelustquotes)

HEADCANON 001     “ next time i’m opening up to someone is my autopsy. ”

     tw for death mention of a parental figure, guilt over said death, and general angst!

     the decision to settle down somewhere for paige to study at a college was something of a struggle. mrs. sanders became focused on hunting down her husband’s killer, then with maintaining order among the supernatural and those unaware; paige never spoke up about what she wanted, and it never occurred to her mother that her daughter’s wants might be different from her own. 

     and there always seemed to be an excuse to put off the discussion, whether it was a new threat or supposed bad timing. in truth, paige felt guilty about wanting to do something for herself, like it was wrong to move on despite the YEARS she and her mother spent searching and fighting. she still feels guilty about it, even if she knows her father would want this for her. after all, her parents originally wanted to get away from the dangerous part of the supernatural community -- the part she and her mother had been neck deep into.

     but paige has never stopped blaming herself for her father’s death. her mother never blamed her, has made that abundantly clear, and yet!! paige can’t get past it!! and it holds her back, keeps her from making any real decisions about her future, prevents her from creating connections with people. though she won’t say it out loud, paige isn’t entirely sure she deserves to have a life when her father didn’t get to have his.

     so, uh, somebody make her talk about that bc that’s no good!!
