how would norton react if his kid gets bullied by other kids?

You can't beat up the kids so beat up their parents.

On a more serious note, I feel like Norton is the type of father to teach his kids how to fight, verbally or physically. He has gone through the same situation and he won't have his own children experience it too. Actually, he takes bullying very seriously. He will take many different measures to bring an end to the bullying, and he won't stop until the problem is gone.

He'll teach them how to fight, he'll annoy the hell out the adults that are responsible for the kids (like if they're in school then the teachers and the principle) and you better believe he's going to confront the parents of the bully. Kids copy their parents, so everything that the bully does and say it because of the parent.

He's going to be civil at first. Just inform the adult of their child's inappropriate behavior and hope that they're going to get disciplined. But he's not a patient man when it comes to his kids, so if nothing happens and the bullying goes on, he'll either tell his kids to beat up the bully and put an end to it themselves, or he's going to have a good conversation with the parent.

He doesn't like trouble, really. He'd rather avoid it, but if trouble is coming to you, then the wise thing to do is to show that you're not to be messed with.

Or perhaps he's going to confront the bully. He's rather an intimidating man, especially to a kid who isn't used to seeing such scars as his. He's going to scare the shit out of them.

do you have any headcanons for ronald/lone wolf skin?

"Dazzling Lone Wolf" suits him more than many think. You wouldn't attribute that name to him just by looking at him, though dazzling sure fits him well. I mean, he's very charming and open, and yet you could spend days in his company and know absolutely nothing about him. He has a talent of conversing for hours without revealing anything about himself.

It's like a barrier. You'll know as much as he wants you to know, which is always little.

I doubt he'd be a great friend or partner either.. Like, sure, he's good friends with Mr. Inference, but that's because Orion got to Ronald before he became what he's now. He's an actor—a lier— decieving everyone into thinking he's someone he isn't. He doesn't belong to the rich society and neither is he actually wealthy, but that's what he presents himself to be.

Any connection from when he left the military would be built on shameless lies and they're all bound to end badly.

And he's obviously a dog person. I'm just mentioning this because Norton is a cat person, so that's another difference between them two. Now, who is more greedy? I don't know..

I deleted IDV and I advise you guys to do the same.

I'm genuinely disappointed in natease for their blatant use of AI. People have been complaining about their ridiculous prices for so long and the least you'd expect of the company is to use that money for the development of the game and story. I even excused the prices, thinking that the cost of artists who draw their official art must be quite expensive, considering how beautiful everything has been, y'know? But then to turn around and use AI?

I'm new to the game and yet I can say that it has been a great inspiration to me. The character designs, the individual backstories, and the main story as a whole are just so well crafted that it motives me into being more creative and thorough with my art myself. And now I'm pretty sure they'll use AI for birthday letters and other lore drops, too.

All of this just took away the fun I had in the game so I guess it's easier for me to boycott natease. Even if they listen to the players and decide against AI, I don't think the trust we all had in them can be earned back. I find myself doubting every design and art they've released lately and that will probably not change in the future.

how do you think norton would talk you through it

I don't think he talks though..

Again, mostly because of his black lung. Making love is a breathtaking activity, and I mean it literally, so wasting more breath on speaking is just not what he would do. And he'd probably be too busy to think of stuff to say, he's in the middle of something after all.

I mean, you can make him talk by talking yourself. Depending on whether you consider grunting and some other incohesive noises as talking, then he'll be actively answering.

[00r3n00]

how okay is he with us playing with his hair?

I see no reason why he wouldn't be okay with it. It's a soothing feeling having your hair played with and it quickly puts one to sleep, which is great with Norton, who has a hard time with sleep in general. Quite a strained relationship..

Of course, he'd rather not you do that in public, but he wouldn't mind it in private. Being that he can't handle physical touch most of the time but does want it nonetheless, this could be a good way of giving him exactly that. But maybe save it for the night because why would you lull him into sleep in the middle of the day?

I think Norton would give one of his magnets to his s/o just so he doesn't have to throw a heavy piece of metal at them during the match.

I'm certain there were plenty of cases where he injured other survivors by throwing his magnets at them. The cause is righteous—he's trying to help them get out—but man, it hurts having metal knocked against you. The bruises afterwards are painful and long-lasting too, but what else is he supposed to do? Sure, the victim will get a purple bruise somewhere, but at least they're alive, so that must balance the scale, right?

The same logic doesn't work with you though.

Being that he has three magnets, ones that he retrieves during the match for another usage, he'd give one of them to you. Ain't no way he's risking knocking you out with one of them.. Last thing he needs is being the cause of your brain damage. Put it in your pockets (if they're big enough) or tie it across your waist like him, as long as you have it on you during the match.

Y'all be walking around with matching magnets..

So is holding norton's hand in public fine?

Yeah, hand holding is pretty much the first physical touch he'll be comfortable with with his s/o.

If you two are walking down the street or are generally in a crowded area, he'll take your hand into his so as not to lose you in the crowd. It's such a simple gesture, and I think that's why he likes it. Holding hands doesn't attract attention yet signals to anyone looking that you two are in a relationship. To him, that's the perfect balance, being that he doesn't really enjoy being in the spotlight.

Also, he has very rough hands. Despite wearing gloves in all those 20 years of mining, his hands turned calloused and rigid quite quickly. The gloves have never been of good quality anyway.. He'd try to take them off before taking your hand into his, but he'd probably often forget to do so. They've been a part of him for so long, sometimes he forgets he's even wearing them.

Aaand we're back. I'll be taking commissions in batches of Five!

Typically the way I go about commissions is I will discuss with you what you'd like, draw up a sketch, and if you like the sketch we can then go through payment and I'll finish up.

Please someone draw Norton dressed like Smoke or Stack from Sinners. I'M SORRY BUT I'M HUNGRY AND I DON'T HAVE THE SKILLS TO DRAW HIM MYSELF

Anyway, imagine being married to Norton, who's like a famous gangster around town. He's feared and respected and he goes after the rich. Personality wise, he's kind of like Smoke, tho some would argue that he's like Stack, but I can't really agree with that. And UGH you're his wife—or maybe husband, who's going to tell him who to love? That man has a gun he isn't afraid to use—to whom he returns after long absences, and he always has to make it up to you cause, duh, he has been gone for weeks..

And he's all serious with a cigarette between his lips and UGH HE'S SO FINE I CANT

[00r3n00]

I got shy how do you think he responds to pet names like dear or darling in a relationship? Do you think he'd utilize any in private?

He definitely gets flustered by your habit of calling him dear or darling. It probably softens him up for a moment, too. You want to go to a holiday celebration on the main street and you know he won't want to go? Call him one of the two pet names and the chances of him agreeing will increase.

He's good at keeping his face straight—lying to officers about the "accidental" explosion made him in good in that—but if you look closely, you'll see his eyebrows fighting the urge to stop furrowing. A man who has never been called anything sweet will have a soft spot for those loving names.

He might use one or two in private, but for the life of me, I can't imagine which ones. What kind of pet names did men of 1900s use anyway? Sweetheart? Makes me imagine him as a cowboy with a country accent.. Even if he uses any terms of endearment, then it's on rare occasions and mostly to soften you up. They way you soften him up, he softens you up the same. Like, if you're mad at him, he might mutter one alongside his other attempts at making it up to you.

Imagine Norton's kid, toddler aged or sm, In a match against Fools gold (bc we dragged him to the manor while looking for Norton and I doubt the manor organizers care at all)

like.. how would Fugo react? and if the kid looked at him and streched his arms like "PAPA :D"? I think regular norton would be growing gray hair from stress if he knew

If for some magical reason the toddler was forced to PARTICIPATE in the match, Norton would either never let go of him or, if he wasn't in the match himself, pass out from stress. He'd bounce his leg under a table like crazy and age another 20 years. A toddler forced into the games? That's insane..

I like to think that Norton and Fugo do not share memories. It's more like Fugo sometimes sees fragments of things he didn't experience (Norton's memories), but otherwise, he's his own being. He would not recognise the little boy as his counterparts son, but he'd sure as hell feel some kind of fondess for him. He'd pick him up by the back of his shirt with one rocky hand and carry him around like a bag of groceries..

The boy would probably like it too. Feel like flying, I guess.

Aww and the boy would call him Papa and point at random things because that's what he does with Norton. Fugo wouldn't know what to do with it either. Whereas Norton learned to comment on whatever his son points at, Fugo is very much confused. He'd just pick up the broken medical device the boy pointed at and give it to him.

And then take it away because the toddler tried to put it in his mouth.

And also, where are the other survivors? Why did the boy even find the opportunity to run around alone? If Norton ever hears of the fun adventure his son had with the Hunter, he'd lose his mind. And take it all out on the survivors who were in the match with his son. Rightfully so, btw.
