How would the Evans be with a goth reader?
The Evans; with goth!reader | headcannons | req
Hi anon, thank you for the request! I'm not goth myself but I am alt so I tried to be true to what I'm pretty sure are the core elements of the culture (hope I didn't get too stereotype-y?) but please do feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong or missed something or if, of course, you had another character in mind you wanted to see here! I hope you like it!
Information
Characters : Tate Langdon ★ Kyle Spencer (frat!) ★ James Patrick March ★ Kai Anderson ★ Austin Sommers ★ Peter Maximoff ★ Cooper Day
CW : Besides mentions of other people being judgemental and weird about alt people, nothing I believe ?
A/N : English isn't my first language, feel free to correct any errors although this has been proofread. Feel free to suggest characters to add and I might edit them in. Enjoy!
★··»—›Tate Langdon
Oh he would love it, someone who’s openly rebelling and challenging societal norms and shows it through so many of the main aspects of a person’s presentation—fashion, music taste and political alignment ? Sign him up.
(A/N: Fun fact, Violet was originally written to be a goth)
He’s already more of a grunge guy himself so you’re technically both under the alt umbrella, you kind of match which is a pretty cool dynamic in his opinion
He might not like your music as much as you do but he’ll find himself liking a few songs and recognizing them just from the intro, as long as you can somewhat split whoever’s in charge of the playlist it should mesh very well.
Also let’s be honest, Constance would judge you, and he would love that. Piss off society ? He likes you. Piss of his mom ? You just might be his soulmate. Even better if you purposely buy into pissing her off.
Not to mention, a lot of the usual interests that come with goths are the macabre, the morbid and death. He can serve you that on a silver platter, hell, he’s a damn ghost. And god knows he has macabre stories to tell you, he’ll gladly indulge your darkest interests.
While Tate himself isn’t overly involved in politics—being dead and all, one thing he does respect is your openmindedness and that your ideals rival his mother’s more traditional or conservative ones.
As for the fashion, well, what’s sexier to a dead man than funeral wear, right ? Just kidding. No, but he does like it even if he’ll occasionally tease you with comments like not having to bother picking what color to wear today. He’ll ask if you want to borrow some of his clothes, like his old leather coat or boots (and perhaps he’ll tell you their story). As it turns out, he’s totally into all or at least most goth subcultures fashion styles, they look cool and by extension make you look cooler than you already do. Same goes for the makeup if any is worn, anything dramatic that makes you look like you woke up in the morgue ? Oh he is whipped.
★··»—›Frat!Kyle Spencer
You stood out, and while it wasn’t the initial reason why he liked you, it did participate in drawing him to you. Besides, it does make you rather memorable around a university campus.
You guys are a total mismatch visually speaking, if you’ve seen that image of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo with the TDI art style goth girl, that’s exactly what you two look like. He’s just a guy, a guy in fratboy getup too, on top of it all. He thinks the mismatch is hilarious because you never looked dressed for the same event.
While he isn’t particularly into the music you listen to, he’ll listen when you put it on and sometimes even listen to your playlist whenever you’re away. It messes up his music app’s recommendations because he listens to music that’s more like 80’s classics and bands from that era like TOTO.
Your interests are a little…odd. Threw him for a loop at first but then he immediately got on board because you won’t catch him slacking on the job as an ideal boyfriend. Now whenever he sees something macabre or slightly esoteric he thinks of you and texts you a picture of said thing.
He’s not the most politically involved guy but for the most part he agrees with your view and will gladly go to things like protests and rallies with you, besides he needs to destroy the stereotype that frats are fascist.
While your style definitely isn’t his, he thinks it’s cool despite the lack of color. He’ll gladly carry your bags for you when you go (thrift) shopping and ask questions about the process when you told him you DIY’d a piece. He sometimes gets mixed up on the specific goth subcultures and what they look like so he might send you pictures of something that isn’t quite up your alley but just know he has the best intentions at heart. He’s a little confused but he’s got the spirits and most of all, he thinks you look really good.
His frat bros teased him about liking you and told him to go look for a partner in cemeteries if that’s what he liked. He promptly flipped them all off. He’s generally put off by people’s reactions to you and the goth community in general, especially people who bark at alt people and weird creepy dms you get on social media. His mom wouldn’t be happy about you but mostly because she doesn’t like the idea of Kyle having someone beside her. It’s not so much about you being goth, in fact it’s one of the things she more or less likes about you since some things about you remind her of herself when she was young.
★··»—›James Patrick March
Oh when he first saw you, he thought you were absolutely bewitching. Asked you if you were familiar with the dark arts (i.e., a witch) directly and didn’t clarify if it was genuine or flirting.
You’re also a perfect aesthetic match, he’s literally Gomez Addams, what more could you want from him ?
He isn’t familiar with your music taste nor is it likely that he’ll fall in love with it as he did with you but he won’t complain if you play it while he’s around.
He’ll indulge all your darkest interests, scratch that he’ll make them worse. He plans on getting you closely acquainted with death and anything adjacent to it.
James has little to no interest in modern day politics, not that he was a morally upstanding citizen in the first place. In his opinion, the current political system killed democracy and there is no point in getting involved—at least for his ghostly self. As long as his hotel isn’t destroyed, whatever goes on outside isn’t much of his concern.
Your style ? Oh it is delightful, positively macabre and reminiscent of the many funerals he never went to. Lovely. The more extra you go about it, the better, especially if it's something elegant and dramatic like he likes (think like trad or romantic goth). Although he can learn to appreciate modern takes too after a while.
The Countess actually likes you, in fact, she almost likes you enough that she considered taking you for herself instead. Liz also likes you and Sally judges you a little but you both do get along surprisingly well at times
★··»—›Kai Anderson
At first, Kai was actually fairly interested in your odd appearance despite masking it as judgement when he stared at you. You’re defying the system, which is good for him but he also knows your kind of appearance screams defiance to any authority, so he’ll have to work hard.
On a purely visual level you guys have nothing in common, when he’s not in a suit as a councilman he’s just a guy in sweaters and jeans or sportswear. Hell, at most he looks like those incels who actually somehow managed to score their dream goth partner. Either way, seeing you together tends to raise questions.
You guys also have nothing in common with music and he has no plans of listening to yours, might as well compromise and each use headphones or you’ll just have to sit through his playlist.
One thing he does rather approve of is the morbid interests since they serve his cause perfectly. Sure he’ll entertain your interest in death, in fact, he’ll serve it to you on a silver platter if you’re willing to put a clown mask on.
Political opposites. He describes himself as a conservative (although he’s more of a reactionary, an opportunist if you will, he’ll side with whoever’s convenient and more pliant) so you’re two opposite ends of a spectrum that is usually hard to agree to disagree on. Truthfully it’ll be hard to be with him if you can’t overlook that part.
The way you dress probably reminds him of Winter, more or less. Which he likes, no, don’t look too deep into it. Deep down he actually really digs the style which probably stems from his days on Reddit and 4chan but you’ll never hear that from him.
Winter loves you, honestly she’ll probably like you a little more than Kai is comfortable with. You two do have a lot in common though. It’s got to a point where they’d probably both mutually try to keep you away from the other, so have fun with that. The other members don’t care too much, save for a passing judgemental look. You also got the fleeting horrid fetish related flirting from some of his militia boys before they got promptly reminded by Kai who they’re talking to.
★··»—›Austin Sommers
The first thing he noticed about is, well, your appearance as it usually would be with a first glance. You stood out which meant immediate bonus points. And then you talked, and then suddenly he dropped any other conversation he had going on. He’s a thespian, they love your archetype and you’re a fucking inspiration from the moment he sees you.
In terms of match, you mesh surprisingly well. Even from an outsider’s perspective who doesn’t know the man literally drinks blood for diet, given the usual way he looks, no one questions you two walking together, you’d be mistaken for a couple if you weren’t one.
Music isn’t quite a match but he’s willing to compromise as long as he can still put on his classics and musical songs for inspiration around the house when he’s writing. Besides, he can appreciate the lyric writing in quite a few goth songs so props for that.
He could’ve sworn you kept getting better and better when he found out the usual interests that followed your culture. Blood and death ? If you wanna go on a ride with him next week he’ll gladly have you encounter those in person. Any other dark interest he also usually has no issue with if he’s not directly indulging you.
He doesn’t talk much about his political stance cause he thinks all that stuff is garbage and life should be about the arts and the world should be ruled by the true visionaries. That being said, he’s a fairly rich guy so you already failed on eating the rich (unless you're eating him in other ways)
Fashion ? He’s attracted to the dramatic, so the more dramatic and eccentric you look the better, but do keep it tasteful. He’ll gladly give you his card to go shop in alt brand stores and will only laugh if he sees you come back with the biggest, most impressive boots he’s ever seen. At the end of the day, you can dress however you like but he does have his preferences.
Oh Belle loves you, she thinks you’re delightful. She’s probably based a character in one of her books on you since you look like the perfect tragic archetype she can torture for the plot. Austin laughed when she told him. All the better if you take it in stride, it was a bestseller after all.
★··»—›Peter Maximoff
No other thought crossed his mind besides “rad” when he first saw you. Then the other words came, or tried to since he was grasping for any vocab he had that could be related to you and how you looked.
Pretty similar match as with Kyle, shaggy and goth girl is the vibe because he’s just a chill guy. Although he does have his own eccentric style, with all that silver leather and the band tees. He thinks it’s funny that neither of you dresses very colorful but jokes that silver and black pair very well.
Listening to your music (especially 80s & 90s goth music) made him realize he had heard some of these songs before and probably had a couple on his mixtape already and just didn’t really look too much into the artists, so while he isn’t the biggest fan or listener, he’s not a total stranger to it. Now he made it his personal mission to make a mixtape with songs from both your tastes that you can go agree on.
Admittedly he thought the darker interests that come with the culture were a little wacky at first but he just rolled with it. Like yeah, sure, let’s go hang in a cemetery, dead people are almost as cool as when they were alive he’d bet.
While he’s not very politically active and honestly probably never voted (he forgot he could), he does like the political ideology with being a mutant and all, the open mindedness of it so he’ll gladly align with you on that.
Oh he thinks you look cool as fuck, would parade you around if he could, probably teases you on occasion with what little goth characters from pop culture he can name like Elvira or anyone from the Addams family. He’ll gladly steal something you want too
It didn’t cross his mind that people might judge you, like, genuinely. He’s a mutant so to him that’s unarguably weirder than a culture of people with rad music taste, clothes and ideals. That being said, he’ll mess with anyone who messes with you in public and finds it jarring that some people don’t share his opinion of how cool you are. Do people not have taste anymore ?
★··»—›Cooper Day
Do I even need to say it ? I mean admittedly you two aren’t the exact same circle but you’ve definitely got some things in common and while he never gave too much thought on whether he’d want somebody who’s similar to him, he’s definitely not opposed to it now that he’s met you
Does the dynamic need explanation ? Emo x Goth, you’re essentially both alt kids so it’s almost expected that you two get together. You probably got called by the wrong label interchangeably but now it’s more laughable than annoying.
Music is perhaps the one topic of bickering since despite what people think, no emo and goth music aren’t the same, a lot of it doesn’t even sound remotely similar. So you argue on who gets playlist privileges whenever you do anything.
Your interests aren’t exactly unfamiliar to him and as long as you support his interests (namely writing), he’ll do the same, I mean is that even a question ?
Being a teenager, he’s not overly engaged in politics and dismisses most of it, he can’t even vote yet anyway. But the ideals ? Yeah, sure, he can agree because why wouldn’t he ?
Well, needless to say he appreciates your fashion sense, you probably borrow some accessories from each other anyway and he’ll take eyeliner recommendations if you’ve got any. If anything, he’s more weirded out when you’re not in your usual clothes.
Nobody in his family would even judge you too much since Cooper is already the way that he is, if anything they think that he just found his ideal match, you’re easily welcome in the family. Same for friend circles, anyone takes a look at you and just thinks yeah, makes sense and goes on with their day.
