computer add five billion more vexes to the sackboy a big adventure tag
anyway i drew and halfassedly colored a page full of this guy as an excuse to post my headcanons below. i didnât draw something for EVERY headcanon because thereâs. a lot. like this is actually a long li
hates anything sweet/sugary, LOVES sour foodâ doesnât actually get âhungryâ, but will gladly eat sour candies, lemons, and grapefruit
2. also has absolutely no tolerance for spicy food. he can survive a bell pepper, but anything hotter would turn the blue half of his face red.
3. detests being touched, especially with physical affection or playful jabs. ironic given how much he grabs and throws people around
4. nobody has any idea if the god of nightmares gets nightmares. any time someone brings up the question, he gives the excuse that he doesnât remember his dreams, or laughs it off saying he has nothing worth having a nightmare over.
5. more on sleepâ he doesnât need or get any. but if he was forced to take a nap (heâs never willingly doing that, be for real) heâs out cold for hours. itâs hard to get him to sleep, but even harder to wake him up. i like to think that he makes himself comfortable in ridiculous sleeping positions that would make people think he got hammered last night
6. most of his negative emotions are of the irritable and cranky kind. he doesnât get noticeably sad or depressed, at most heâs just moody. just your typical crabby old man
7. it would be extremely funny if he removes a piece of clothing under himself and thereâs another duplicate underneathâ in other words, he canât remove his clothes. he can change/transform in different outfits but nothing is actually underneath them
8. vex is a renaissance manâ meaning he knows and can do a LOT of things, his forte lying mainly in the arts field (music, theatre, etc.) but also in technical fields such as engineering. this might not be a real headcanon cause that man doesnât live forever just to not know how to do anything.
9. âŚno doubt will still cheat in many of his own talents. even if his powers were restricted in some way, heâd still pull off a lot of stunts. i feel like heâd anticipate something like that happening one day
10. one of the few things heâs terrible at is spellingâ it might be a miracle that he has some legible letters in his poor writing. though this may just be his best attempt at replicating whatever everyone in the current day is writing: he has to make his plans readable for sackboy somehow
11. knowledge is power. vex wants to be taught something he doesnât know, making him fascinated by the unknownâ most notably, death. an affliction that affects only mortals, yet their knowledge of it remains heavily limited
12. vexâs own âdeathsâ donât count as such given that heâs guaranteed to come back. heâs presumably still conscious even after being defeated, based on cut dialogue about not wanting to âgo back into the shadowsâ. that level of consciousness may be equivalent to going into a coma, or being stuck in a cramped space
13. since heâs been exiled from the physical realm a bunch of times, vex has likely come to terms with knowing that he will always be defeated. but he keeps a cheeky attitude about it to prolong the inevitable. the permanent existence of nightmares pretty much works as his insurance anyway.
14. in spite of chastising sackboy when he ruins his plans, vex doesnât think having everything go accordingly is much fun eitherâ there has to be a catch or a setback to shake things up a little. otherwise, there will be nothing left to do if he takes over so quickly and easily.
15. vex believes using his powers for good is incredibly wasted potential. making everything go as what everyone may want it to be (peaceful, safe, etc.) is asking him to do nothing at all. itâs against his purpose, being born of nightmares and dread
16. this might also be why a redemption arc for him is nearly impossible. the closest to seeing vex in a positive light might instead have sackboy either come to vexâs defense for a particular reason that only he knows, but canât explain to everyone else why. this may or may not lead to many, many people labeling sackboy as a traitor.
the other âredeemableâ option being vex saving sackboy from a different threatâ if he lost his target to some rando, it would make him furious. which is a perfect excuse for me to repost this doodle
17. according to cut dialogue, he was (allegedly) worshipped by whole civilizations. i imagine that this mightâve started the trend of knitted knights: former villagers that decided to stand up against their ungrateful god. from there, it became a tradition of responsibility for someone to put vex in his place whenever he comes back
18. this one is actually more about vexâs minions. i like to think that they dress up and pretend to be their boss sometimes. some concept art a moot came across is what made me imagine that happening because genuinely some of these just look like a crude imitation made by several of his minions
19. letâs talk about his bitchless love life. this is not to say that he hasnât had a couple of flings in his lifetime, he probably has, but theyâre hardly worth remembering when he always outlives them.
20. if he had to have a preference, heâd want someone, doesnt matter who or what they are, that matches his lifespan or shares his immortality. they must be just as wicked as he is too, while also challenging him in some wayâ he doesnât want to date a yes man.
okay those are all my headcanons hereâs the full page bai
