for the comfort asks game: 🍄🍀 with heartman? :3
@fightinggamegirlfriend Hi friend!!! Thank you for the ask (sorry it’s a day late, works been kicking my ASS lately lmao)
🍄: Heartman pampering a stressed out Tether looks a little bit like this: Tether would never ask him for what they want because they’re too stubborn and will more than likely not tell they’re stressed out until they're about to have an outburst. He’ll recruit either Sam or Rainy to help him get their favorite food / snack, and drink (alcoholic and non), ask Fragile and Tarman if they could let him and his partner go to his lab to get away from the Magellan, to set up a spa day at his personal hot spring in Australia. Heartman would also ask the Hydrologist for some privacy while they’re both there. After the spa and dinner, he will take them to their private room and cuddle them as a grounding means and just… talk. His voice helps distract from their stressors and will help them fall asleep.
🍀: If Tether gets overwhelmed or overstimmed, Heartman will bring them to a more private area and talk to them in a soft voice, holding their hands. Talking to them logically, using the 3-3-3 rule (3 things you see, 3 sounds you hear, and 3 parts of your body) helps a ton as well. If Heartman isn’t around, they have a rubbing / worry opalite stone they keep on hand that was specially commissioned for them.
