How would characters from your TSAMS AUs react if someone hugged them?
Oh, that's an interesting question! :0 (Long post under the cut!)
Executing Eclipse.exe + Ailment of the Heart:
Eclipse wouldn't be happy. They'd grimace and push the hugger off, hissing, "Take your damn hands off me!"
Arnold would be confused and lightly pat their shoulder but not fully reciprocate the hug. He'd just wonder why this stranger is hugging him??
Foxy would awkwardly hug back. "Uh, hi there. Nice to meet you, I guess?"
Puppet would poke their head. "What's this about, bud? You mind lettin' go? This is weird."
Charlie wouldn't know any better but to hug back as tight as she can. She's always happy to give big hugs!
Ghost Whisperer Sun AU:
Sun awkwardly hugs them back- not opposed to it but he's not super comfortable accepting affection outside of friends and family.
Killcode would kindly reciprocate in a fatherly sort of manner, though he wouldn't hug too tight.
Bloodmoon isn't super comfortable being hugged by a stranger and just leave their arms at their sides, waiting for someone to come help.
Emerith nervously pats their back before gingerly pulling away. "Ah, s- sorry, I just- don't like hugging people I don't really know. Sorry..."
Sylas is confused but accepts it, shrugging.
Vorago is not enthused and mutters, "Kindly unhand me, I don't care for hugs from strangers."
Moondrop frowns and awkwardly pats their head. "Uhh. There there? Now let go."
Solar hesitantly accepts the hug, rubbing their back because he doesn't know what else to do.
Equinox is pleasantly surprised and hugs them back, probably a bit wanting for company after being (justifiably) locked in parts and services for so long.
New Moon doesn't really respond. He's not sure if he's okay with it or not so he just lets it happen for a moment before silently pulling away.
World of Paradise:
It depends on the variant of Lord Eclipse but- the more canon-adjacent one would scoff and shove them off. "Who gave you the right to hug your god without his permission? Petulant lamb, your place before me is kneeling, not in my arms."
The nicer Lord Eclipse/the dad variant would be a bit taken aback but not mind it too much, hugging them back and saying, "Whatever is troubling you, please speak your peace. As the Shepherd, it is my duty to bring peace to my flock."
Servant Sun would freeze at the unexpected gesture before sinking into their embrace. He wouldn't have the heart to say much.
Star would be uncomfortable and nudge them off. "No offense, but just because I'm the princess doesn't mean I like getting hugged by strangers."
Addisein (Servant/Butler OC) would groan and push them away, brushing off his suit and straightening it out. "What on earth has gotten into you?! Don't rumple my clothing again!"
Ilia (Servant/maid OC) accepts without question, patting their back. "Aww, giving little ol' me a hug? How sweet!"
Rebel leader Monty would click his tongue and pull away. "Enough of that. It ain't helpin' anything if you fall apart, soldier."
Rebel Lunar would begrudgingly allow it. He wouldn't say anything.
Rebel Moon sighs softly and hugs back, murmuring, "I know. I know, it's okay. Just... Try to keep your head above water. We'll make it through this."
Trash and Brotherly Bonds
Cedric hug them in return while lightly patting their back. "You doing alright? If you need to talk, I'm here."
Nem would be surprised and nervously reciprocate the gesture. "Um, hey, bud?"
Poppy reciprocates, also patting their back. "Just take a breather, mmkay? I've got you."
Strife raises a brow but simply hugs back, unbothered.
Sirius snorts in amusement and ruffles their head, but doesn't fully reciprocate. He's not really the hugging type.
Chica awws and hugs back with a motherly smile. "Aren't you a lil' sweetheart?"
Cadet grins and gives a big bear hug back, restraining airflow and probably crushing some ribs.
Roxstar scoffs, saying, "Ugh, who do you think you are to be hugging someone as awesome as me? You're lucky I take pity on losers!" While melting on the inside because someone cares enough to hug her.
Bronty recoils and shoves them off. "Oi, what the bloody 'ell is wrong with you?! Don't you know who I am? I'm Mon'gomery Ga'or, owner of the Mega Pizzaplex an' a billionaire! I could buy the city o' London two or three times over, wot do you think you're doin' throwin' your nasty arms around me?!"
Glamrock Bonnie/Morgan chuckles softly and pulls them close, patting their head.
Mangle pats their back with a smile. "Affectionate one there, aren't ye?"
Dim forces a smile and says, "Aw, how nice." And he tolerates it for a minute or two before pulling away. "Sorry, but I have to get back to work now."
Gaia hums in intrigue and gently accepts the hug, murmuring, "Well, this is unexpected."
Uncorruption of a Dark Star:
Nexus smiles a bit and awkwardly hugs them back, though they'd be confused why they're even being hugged to start with.
Vega raises a brow and mumbles, "Uh, okay. I guess this is happening now."
Altair would grunt in discomfort as his chest is squeezed but he wouldn't have the heart to protest.
Aster awkwardly says, "Hi??" And grumbles a bit as he's hugged like a teddy bear.
Darksun frowns and pulls away, muttering, "What are you doing?"
Ruined Refugee AU:
Ruin is surprised in a good way and gently hugs them back, happy that his appearance isn't so off-putting that people would avoid hugging him.
Thackery is nervous, not quite used to receiving physical affection like this, and he'd kind of freeze up for lack of knowing how to handle it.
Wolf is confused and just nudges them away. "Uh, sorry, but I'm not the touchy-feely type. Better try my older brother instead."
Ruined Chica/Rena gives a one-armed hug, since that's all she can do. She'd offer a smile and try to give some encouragement to whoever's hugging her. Nurture the vulnerability rather than shun it.
Ruined Roxy/Roxanna would rest the remains of her chin on their shoulder and quietly ask, "Everyone still loves me, right?..." There's only one correct answer to this unless you want to get hurt.
Ruined Freddy/Ferdinand would frown at the unexpected gesture and begrudgingly return it with one arm, still holding his head with the other. He'd pull away as soon as he could, though.
Ruined Monty/Maul would sneer down at them and hug them closer, tighter, until it was painful. And when they start wriggling to get loose he'd mock them, saying, "Aww, but I thought you wanted a hug? Ain't this what you wanted, you little weakling?" And he wouldn't let go until something broke.
Opposite AU:
Cupid is thrilled to get a hug and returns it happily, then they even offer to let the stranger hug their stuffed bunny, Velveteen! You can never have enough hugs. ^w^
Bluemoon is surprised but accepts the hug, not one to snub kindness of any kind.
Montana grins and hugs them back, then afterwards she thanks them for it and gives them a wad of cash for extra cheer.
Cheercode, before her turn to villainy, would hug them close and sing them a sweet song. After her turn to villainy, she pulls them off. "What are you, a child? A pathetic little thing who needs a "hug?" Tch, you're just like my idiot youngest."
Ruin pretends to like it but very obviously is making a face of disgust. When asked about it he lies. Very badly.
Lunar shoves them off and barks, "Do that again and I break your face!"
Sun glares daggers as he pries them off, gripping their neck as he drags them off to hang them by their thumbs.
Moon just breaks their arms and laughs. "What did ya think would happen? That I'd snuggle up on you like a cat? Hah, think again!"
Misc AUs:
Rabbit would be confused but accepts the hug without question, holding tight and patting their back.
Lorelei would gently hug them back, asking if there was anything on their mind they wanted to talk about.
Jigsaw would be very unsure of how to react. People rarely choose to hug them and he's sure he's not comfortable to hug, with all his broken parts and sharp edges. Gingerly, he'd pat their head while trying to keep on his smile for show.
Gray sighs softly and rests a hand on their shoulder, not fully accepting or rejecting the gesture either way.
Crimson grunts in annoyance and he debates simply shoving them off or breaking their arms to teach a lesson.
Bastet gently strokes their head with a grin. "Aw, what a sweet gesture."
Narinder grimaces but just accepts the hug, even though he definitely doesn't like it.
Rao gently hugs them back, murmuring, "Keep this kindness in your heart. There are darker times still ahead..."
Aaand that's all I can think of! X3 I tried not to do any repeat characters (Like RR AU Sun being basically the same as Ghosts Sun or Executing Eclipse.exe and Ailment of the Heart Eclipse.) I hope you enjoyed this, I had fun with it!
