BEAR SHIFTER ROBBY HEADCANONS
thank you @ywecanthavenicethingsanymore for the brainstorming!!
bear shifter robby is a hairy gentle giant who lives alone in the woods, used to people being afraid of him and hurting him when they come across him on hiking trails.
when he and human Jack come across each other in the forest, Robby is going to run away, but he can’t help glimpsing this handsome man who’s maybe lost or injured or lonely on his hike. all Jack sees are these big, sad brown eyes as Robby shifts into human form. yeah, it's love at first sight.
jack sees this lonely, sad, lovable creature who's big, yeah, but so is jack, and he knows how to handle himself. he's not worried about getting hurt.
robby would make sure no one, human or animal, bothers jack while he's on his hikes.
in bear form, robby would bring jack all kinds of treats, like honey, berries, a fish that he plops at jack's feet.
jack would give him so many pets in return, as well as gently feeding robby some nuts or berries.
robby loves soft things like vanilla scented candles or a good fleece blanket, in both bear and human form.
all robby ever has to do to earn the pets and cuddles he wants is flash those big brown eyes at jack, in either form. and robby loves cuddles in either form. that's the basis of their relationship. but luckily so does jack, and who wouldn't! robby is soft and hairy and warm, so so cuddly.
in human form in jack's cabin, robby pretends he can fit in jack's lap to cuddle him, always down to take a nap. he's a big heavy lapdog, but jack will always let himself be squished into the couch if it means robby purrs on his shoulder.
and in bear form, robby is also perfect for cuddling. he and jack will stop during a hike to doze together in a sunny meadow, where jack will climb up on his back to sleep.
another good point, jack will ride on robby's back in bear form when his leg gets tired or achy at the end of a long hike, or if god forbid jack ever hurts himself. robby is happy to be a transportation bear!
during sex in human form, robby would be very growly and grumbly, obviously, also super strong, throwing jack around like a ragdoll. he never ever wants to hurt jack even by accident, so he's very gentle and careful at first, almost too much, until jack taunts that he's not made of glass, get on with it.
they love wrestling in human form. robby will growl and sink his teeth in jack's neck or bicep and tug on it, and jack loves that more than he can say. jack loves being slung over his shoulder.
robby loves carrying firewood in his mouth in bear form for jack! carrying anything jack will let him, really. especially when they go shopping in town :)
jack makes all kinds of bear hug jokes, teddy bear jokes, and just general bear jokes when he's petting robby's hairy human body
robby needs his cuddles in the morning and if he doesn't get them he's grumpy at jack for the rest of the day. jack loves the way robby blankets him with his body.
jack can take his cuteness aggression out on robby in bear form because no amount of human slaps is going to hurt robby. jack loves to grunt about how strong and handsome and soft and hairy he is, how much jack loves him.
one time robby wants to show off his fearsome roar in bear form. he does and then immediately looks to jack with those brown eyes for praise. jack is all too happy to tell him that yes, he's a big and scary bear, jack's bear.
the only time robby genuinely gets aggressive is when someone threatens jack, of course, in both forms. robby can be quite fearsome when he means it. and jack can be quite grateful for his man standing up for him- or for the bear standing on two legs to terrify some ableist bigot.
that's all for now! feel free to come into the inbox and chat about any of these, i might add more later!
