Can we have some of your headcanons for Bloodsports!Reiner and Desiderate!Bertholdt? 🇪🇪
ngl estonian anon, this was insanely difficult to do because i'm awful at making headcanons LMAO
okay so for bloodsports reiner:
bloodsports reiner wanted to chase after reader after he commented on her scent, especially when her scent turned so somber when she ran away. she actually plagued his mind that entire week before the next class because he genuinely felt bad about it, but couldn't find her since she took her suppressors again right after.
bloodsports reiner never ruts at all with other omegas, even when they're in immense heat. it's pretty irritating when his rut happens when he's alone because at that time, he doesn't want anyone near him, omega or alpha. he personally doesn't know why his biology doesn't kick in at all when he's doing them, but it just solidifies that he's never meant to be with them, thus being "practices" for his real true mate. reiner told reader that he has a line-up of omegas to please, but in reality, he never really answers their calls after the first time. he doesn't know why he lied (it was his ego).
bloodsports reiner works part-time at his mom's bakery when he's not in practice or studying for exams. to be honest, he only started doing hockey as his sport because he hopes to make it big so he can give her a better life than just making pastries and bread. he first didn't like playing it, but developing his secondary gender and playing it since his childhood with bertolt caused him to slowly develop a fondness over the sport.
bloodsports reiner genuinely feels like he's alone in the world, despite being surrounded by lots of friends and desired by many. it feels like he's drowning. none of it seems real and he'll go on long night walks alone with his thoughts about it, but since he never told anyone about his feelings and constantly bottles them up with distractions (parties, practice, work, studying, etc.), he takes it out in the games. he thinks him playing rough is the only time he feels like a person, as if that's his true self. violent, demanding, bloody. when he smelled reader's scent, it was literally the first time he's smelt someone so real and in turn, it caused him to latch onto her unhealthily.
bloodsports reiner has a secret to-do list of dates he wants to take reader on. it's all things she likes that she doesn't know that he knows about, even the more subtle ones that she offhandedly said once or twice thinking that he wasn't listening. he was listening, he always listens to her (in some cases).
bloodsports reiner would've preferred to court reader in the traditional manner if not for his screw-up with their first meeting and how aggressive his approaches are. he imagines it super cheesy and romantic, like he helped her pick up her pencil and their fingers touched and that's the event that kickstarted everything rather than him making fun of her strong scent. if she was just a simple-brained omega, everything would've been easier, but that wouldn't be her y'know. he likes her ambition, but wants it toned down to his standards.
for desiderate bertolt:
desiderate bertolt after the mission (where he was in the infirmary for a bit and had his personality change) developed a craving for near-raw meat or anything that tastes similar to blood. i think his craving for it is probably up to par to eren's (since i have a solidified headcanon with titan shifters that all of them have cravings for blood the more they kill/shift), but he tries to control it through slightly cooked cow and pork blood/meat. his teeth, especially his canines, developed to be even more sharper to be able to cut and tear into meat or flesh.
desiderate bertolt picked up the habit of smoking after his dad passed, around the time when reader was holing herself up in her home. his dad was a smoker, and bertolt used to hate the smell and taste of it all the time, but now it's a crutch to everything he's going through and a somewhat comforting reminder of his dad.
desiderate bertolt decided to have reader be brought along with them on a whim to be honest. he already lost annie, and he liked reader enough to be around, so she kinda originally was supposed to be a replacement for her (pretty sad and horrible of him, he knows that). BUT as their relationship develops prior to the bar scene, he starts falling in love with the reader as her own person, even if it was formed out of his original guilt or out of the trauma he has (answered from a different ask). then after the bar scene and he comes back all fucked up, his mentality turns into her, her, her, her since he still feels bad for ruining their bond again and he has this obsession with "fixing" it.
desiderate bertolt is considered to be the top marriage candidate out of all the warriors due to him being able to do most of the housework and cooking when his dad gets episodes of sickness/weakness. it's almost natural how he knows what to get in groceries for the entire week, from breakfast to dinner (occasionally dessert). it's why he and reader had weeks where he'd help her either grocery shopping, besides him wanting to hang out with her.
desiderate bertolt takes pretty frequent naps due to how much effort and energy it takes to transform. this means he also has quite a lot of energy in his human form, so he sometimes has days where if he doesn't spend it all, he gets insomnia and will tend to be up all night. bertolt's pretty night owly too, so it doesn't really bother him that often.
desiderate bertolt picked up carving/whittling as a hobby when he was waiting to be thrown into the battle. he's pretty good at it, doesn't matter how soft or hard the material is or how little material he has. wood's a good material and rocks are okay, but he's been practicing with animal bones and making designs into the surface; he has yet to make objects out of them, but he finds the challenge with this particular material more enjoyable than the others.
