Content- ALL platonic obviously, gn reader (if not let me know so I can fix it), queenie mentioned, reader struggles with nightmares, no actual depiction of them though, abstrategy, set around ep 4, reader is 7-10, not proofread I will go down with my ship
A/N- I was gonna add Jax, zooble and Caine but I was lazy and just wanted to finish this but if it gets attention I’ll probably make a part 2 with them! I also wanna do headcanons for ep 8 with a child reader!
Your basically his kid along with everyone else in the circus.
If you have any interest in bugs he’d follow you around while you both tried to catch them. He would also tell you fun facts about certain ones!
If you arrived when Queenie was still around she was basically your mother. You had to watch her disappear and your ‘father’ kinger lose his sanity
His random loss of memory can make for some extremely funny moments for you but you can’t help but wish you could somehow help him..
The absolute best at making pillow forts. I mean have you seen his?
Loves playing pretend with you. He wouldn’t mind what he is, dragon, knight, princess or dog as long as he got to spend time with you
He was always a safe person for you to go to whenever the circus got too overwhelming, just lying with him in the fort always calmed you down.
His random outbursts of yelling when he randomly realised what was going on used to scare you but you quickly got used to it, knowing when and what to say to him.
The tea parties and fake drama would go crazy. It’s even better with his ‘craziness’, it adds flavour. It’s more fun with him than anyone else.
If you grow attached to a certain pillow or blanket in his fort he’ll gladly hand it over to you. Anything to make his precious child happy.
Kinger lets you play around with his robe whenever your bored, he loves watching you get tangled up in a fluffy mess
When sleeping in your own room Caine had assigned you nightmares were a nightly occurrence. It got so bad that Ragatha or Zooble would be running to your door after hearing your cries and pleas for help. After seeing you sleeping almost everywhere but your bed Kinger just decided to drag you on over to his pillow fort.
At some point it just became normal for you to show up at the pillow fort around your bedtime. You said it was so he wasn’t alone but he knew you were scared, and he couldn’t blame you.
You once accidentally called Kinger dad during an adventure when the two of you were alone. It was dead silence until he placed a hand on your back and said he didn’t mind.
The first time you meet sane Kinger it’s like meeting another person yet not at all. It was a confusing storm of emotions yet you knew one thing. You cared for him and he cared for you.
LOVES drawing with you, even though most of the time your drawings look like undeciphered code.
Whenever you ask her to draw you or something for you she gets really excited but also nervous. What if you don’t like it?, would you call it ugly to her face? Realistically she knows this wouldn’t happen but the anxiety is always there
The first time you saw her happy mask broken you immediately started picking the shards up to help fix it. She was shocked once you came back 20 minutes later with her mask horribly glued back together with shards of glass sticking out. It looked like a safety hazard but she was extremely grateful.
During the Spudsy’s adventure she let you play in the play area and mess with npc’s while the others worked while watching you have fun. (Jax wasn’t happy)
She gets extremely worried whenever she sees you talking or following Jax around. He’s unpredictable and dangerous! She won’t give you any restrictions but she’ll watch you more intently when you’re around him. The last thing she wants is for you to get hurt.
She feels incredibly bad that she can’t properly hug you whenever your sad or just clinging to her ribbons
If you ever showed up outside her room in the middle of the night because of a nightmare (or anything really) she would gladly let you in and wrap her ribbons around you as a hug while you slowly fall back asleep
If you ever wanted to talk about your problems or nightmares she would intently listen and try not to overwhelm you if you start to tear up.
If your not a fan of physical touch, while your crying, she’ll pass you her fluffiest blanket that you love but never take and some tissues until your ready to talk or distract yourself
Sometimes she leaves sticky notes with cute doodles of things you like or the two of you in your room or wherever she knows you’ll find them.
The first time you find one of these sticky notes you cherish it and obviously show it off to everyone! It was a doodle of you and gangle holding hands, of course you were gonna show everyone. Sadly later that day it mysteriously vanished (due to a certain purple rabbit)
You kinda think of gangle as a weird but cool older sister that won’t ever judge you.
Despite being terrified of Jax if he ever tries to hurt you she’ll stand up for you and fight back against him. Shes never alone as Zooble and the others quickly join her side.
You constantly make fun of her for her obvious crush on zooble in light hearted fun. You would never tell Zooble about it but you’ve been trying to get gangle to confess for ages!
She love making you plushies! She makes sure to ask for everything that you want on it but most of the time you tell her to surprise you. It stresses her out sometimes but seeing you happy with the end product is always worth it.
At this point you have an army of plushies on your bed and the shelves of your digital room.
Speaking of your room, it’s what any little kid could ask for. Tons of toys, a foam bit, disco lights, a craft corner and a dollhouse! But something about your perfectly curated room sends shivers down your spine. It’s become a nightly routine for you to pop up in Ragatha’s room and make yourself home.
There’s a special corner in her room full of plushies, pillows and blankets just for you.
If you ever wanted to she would definitely teach you some activities she did as a kid! Dance, piano, violin, horse riding, anything! (As long as Caine agrees)
She loves it when you pull her into activities you’re doing with others, it shows her that you really do like her presence.
Always try’s to keep and eye on you during adventures to make sure your safe and don’t get hurt. She’s basically your mum.
On that note you’ve definitely accidentally called her mum on multiple occasions and her heart melts every time.
Braiding or just playing with your hair is her favourite way to pass time. No matter how short, long or curly it is she’ll find something to do with it.
Ragatha gives the best hugs in the circus and it shouldn’t surprise anyone. She’s literally a stuffed doll. Anyways the hugs you share with her are always your favourite
She also quite likes carrying you. It doesn’t matter how but having you on her or in her arms reminds her that you’re safe with her.
If you ever have a tantrum and get into a fight with Ragatha she’ll be distraught thinking you hate her and that she ruined your friendship until you come running back with an apology card gangle helped you make and tell her how much you like her.
She’s constantly caring and looking after you, even if no one else sees.
Whenever you can’t sleep she plays lullabies or soft songs on the piano or violin.
She definitely scolds Jax a lot more around you, wanting you to understand that his behaviour isn’t okay and to not copy him
She would act extremely awkward around you, not knowing how she should act. Everyone else already has a set role in your life and she just showed up a week ago. Despite this you still try to include her and make her feel welcomed.
While resting in bed you love fidgeting with Pomni’s jester hat. If it could jingle you definitely would’ve found a way to steal it.
The day she showed up and saw you tearing up during Kaufmo’s funeral she gently rested her hand on your shoulder and that was the start of it all.
She swears your a ninja or something with how many times you’ve managed to sneak up on her and scare her shitless
Despite the automatic censor she still acts like she swore infront of a party of children whenever you’re near.
If you didn’t like Jax (which you probably didn’t) when she started hanging out with him you would’ve been livid. She wouldn’t understand why you would stomp off every time she tried to talk to you until you came to comfort her after her big fight with Jax and she realised you, a child, had probably been through this too.
Whenever the two of you go to the lake you would definitely stay underwater for an unreasonable amount of time for a human. She would jump in to try and ‘rescue’ you just to remember you don’t need to breathe.
Once the adventure with the candy village was over she watched fondly as you took as many sweets as you possibly could back to the circus with you, storing them in your room
Pomni isn’t big with psychical touch but if you ever asked her for a hug she would gladly give you one while patting your back or hair.
