Bugsnax HC time everyone!
So Ya'll got my art yesterday, now you get very self indulgent Hcs about each character, with a very specific theme. Affection and Comfort, specifically how each of the Grumps do it and how good they are with it.
This was based on a post I saw of someone going over how they'd cuddle every Grumpus and I though it was so fucking cute I wanted to share my own thoughts!
- Going in order of when you meet them
Very much open to affection, You can hug him at random and he barely is surprised, just smiling and calling you out very gently with just "Hi Buddy! Good to see ya!" He's very okay with it.
Very much gives affection to anyone if you tell him. He always asks before he hugs someone or touches them, doesn't wanna make anyone feel uncomfortable.
Pretty good all around, will give you a big hug if he sees your feeling bad, get you things, talk to you, he does his best.
If he's feeling bad, he is gonna hide the hell out of it. Even if its obvious he's not feeling good he will do everything to try and seem his normal self...but one hug at that point and he's not letting go.
My lovely boy, I would just give him such a big hug, cover him in a blanket and just, squish him, he deserves cuddles and hugs all the time!
Doesn't care much for affection like that, if you hug him, he'll let ya the first time before telling you downright he doesn't do hugs.
Although he's a man of action instead of words, he also doesn't really give any affection out to anyone, save for Triffany. He may give a lighthearted punch to the shoulder, but that's about it.
There is the exception if he knows someone is hurting like that. Wambus is horrible with comforting words, so best he can offer is a kind of side hug/arm over your shoulder and letting you go through your feelings. If its a really bad time, he will pull you in more, he's not one for comforting, but if you need it, he'll do his best.
Wambus gets pretty snappy when he's not feeling good, it's not by choice, it's how he was raised, anger kinda springs up on him. He's quick to apologize when he realizes it, sometimes.
Sir, you're the ultimate Dad friend.
Beff isn't against hugs, but she doesn't like to give them herself, She'd call you Squeeb if you do, but she'll never tell you not to hug her.
Doesn't give out affection, just accepts it
If you're hurt or sad, she'll make an exception to hug you. She's not as good with people as she thinks, and at best will try and just tell you why you shouldn't be sad at the moment, what good is happening and all that.
If Beff isn't in a good mood, she doesn't leave her home, and will lock the door.
She accepts hugs, knows people like hugs and doesn't mind it so long as you tell her first.
Only gives affection to her husband normally, unless atention is needed. Is a big hugger normally.
If someone is hurt she is pushed into Mom friend mode. She'll give you a hug and try to help the situation, however best she can. That is if she notices...if she's doing her studying or preoccupied in general she may overlook you for a bit until something happens to get her attention. She'd tell you stories of her work to give you something to focus on and calm down with.
If Triffany isn't feeling good she'll just spend her day closer to Wambus, other than that she's just a tad lower energy.
I don't have much on Cromdo, he'd likely joke about having to charge you if you hug him too much.
Doesn't really give hugs, will at the very least give you some encouraging words if he can.
Is actually kinda good at comforting people, mostly giving you someone to vent to and clear your head.
Cromdo usually stays quiet when he's not feeling his 100%.
Is perfectly fine with hugs, either giving them or receiving them. Somedays she may just say she isn't feeling like being touched and that will be it until she says she's okay again.
If your hurt, she'll sit by you and try to see what's wrong, if she can, she'll sing for you to try and help out.
If Wiggle isn't feeling good, you'll tell, she isn't singing for one, and if she is, she's not happy with what she's singing about.
He won't tell you know, but he doesn't know how to accept it really.
Doesn't hug normally, doesn't want to touch people unless necessary.
he knows how it feels to feel that bad and doesn't want people to feel bad too. Depending on how close you are he'll likely end up coming close to give you a hug, if that doesn't work, he'll put his hat on you to get your attention.
If he's feeling bad, he'd like to be alone so he can get over his sadness, maybe stay with his little ones to calm down. I you try to comfort him, he genuinely may start crying.
If he's sleepwalking, don't hug him, he will latch on and then suddenly you have to sleep in the Barn with him.
My lovely, I wanna give him so much love and hugs, like Filbo but he's small, I can carry him.
Tell him first, he will scream and likely slap you without thinking otherwise, his nerves get him too paranoid for surprises.
Will give a hug if you ask him, but it's quick.
Very bad at comforting people, he couldn't tell he was in a relationship for years you think he can pick up and deal with emotions?
If he feels bad, he goes to Chandlo, that's all
He accepts hugs! But be careful he gives very tight hugs, could hurt if he wasn't so good with his strength.
If your feeling bad, he'll hug ya and hang out to talk, maybe see if you wanna go work out with him, get you moving and focused to see if that helps.
If Chandlo is down, he stays with Snorpy.
will bite, like actually, he'll hurt you, don't hug him. If you're close, he may allow things like you pass out on him, but nothing further.
does not comfort you, he's trying to learn about Grumpus interactions, but he's not qualified for comforting yet.
hard to tell when he's down or not, let him be and things are fine.
Will ask you not to, but won't mind if you must
She's actually happy to give hugs, but keeps her professionalism as "Shelda" so she won't.
Comforting from her comes in words, helping you talk your problems out and figure out how to help.
If she feels bad, depending she may drop the Shelda act and just sleep out the day.
Accepts hugs and will give them if wanted, she's friendly like that before and after Liz's disappearance...mostly
if your down, she tries to help, for one she makes sure your not sick or injured, then will sit with you and hang out.
If she's feeling bad she'll read and ask to eb alone, but will accept a hug.
hugs you first, big hugger, very physical and happy.
if you manage to surprise her with a hug she picks you up and laughs.
tries her best when people are down, gives a really good motivational speech and then will chill out with everyone.
if she's down, she needs Eggabell, that's the best you can do to help.
I wrote all of this for Filbo, Wambus, and Gramble specifically, and didn't wanna leave out the others.
In reality i wanted to focus on the fact that I wanna hug and cuddle Filbo and Gramble and just, Wambus is very good pick two and...
this is cringe but I am cringe and I am free I will simp for the muppets thank you very much.
