Why does Drifter like the Beheaded so much? Because the whole situation he finds himself in reads like the romantic erotica books that he's fond of. THAT'S RIGHT. My HC has Drifter be into really tropey booktok-style romance stories that have weird, sexy creatures in them that want to treasure you gently as they [redacted]. But also BH is stacked and really hot but is also taking care of him and it's really nice and despite being such an ass the guy has some good qualities to him too??? Made sense why Drifter caught some feelings.
And yeah getting the stoic guy to laugh is really important too. Despite the pain he's in and the despair he feels, Drifter can always count on his strange boyfriend making him laugh :> Also obvious Chuck Tingle reference is obvious, lol.
Not allllll the lost knowledge Drifter would find as a drifter has to do with history ;3
Guardian doesn't quite know how to feel about this all, but he supports his best friend.
