Hey, I've loved your headcannons for The Freak Circus :)
I wanted to request headcannons about the circus with a male mc that enjoys foraging. He'll collect and properly prep safe plants and preserve some of the stuff for winter, as well as cooking delicious food with the gathered stuff. Maybe he'll randomly stop and eat a plant if he's hungry. (I can totally see Pierrot panicking the first time he sees him eat a random plant off the ground like, "omg, is that safe?!")
You know this is giving me ideas, let’s do it ❤️
The freak circus x male reader that likes foraging
Pierrot
He really enjoys coming with you in the forest when you have free time and want to go exploring and gather things, after all he gets to spend time with his Lord… preferably without being interrupted by others (Harlequin), after all that would be very unfortunate both for him and a certain someone~
He does listen to you when you are explaining about plans he really does… but poor thing can barely understand what you’re saying, so please don’t take it in a bad way when he’s freaked out when you started chewing on a dandelion leaves…
And then you went on a little ran on how a dandelions are actually completely edible the entire thing and packed with vitamin A, C and K and you even offered to make him some homemade dandelion tea, and of course he will drink it because it’s from his Lord~
Harlequin
Will actually go out with you for gathering but only if the two of you are alone… you only do this with him right ? because he would be very upset if you did this with anyone else… his dear darling~… but also he absolutely is shoving the fact he is spending time with you in Pierro’s face (yes they will be fighting again)
He was less surprised when he saw you grab a random plant and started chewing on it when you said you were hungry… but he did kind of thing he should take it to the circus if his darling doesn’t have enough money to buy food and needs to resort to this…
But then you started explaining this plant was Pruslane It has a bit of a tangy lemony taste incredibly rich in vitamins and omega-3 more so then many common vegetables… well if you’re happy darling, he’s happy but let him treat you to a proper meal…
Jester
He does enjoy the walks in the forest with you when he has free time it is very relaxing and a great way to spend time with his dear light… and he has become quite interested in your little hubby… no matter how weird he finds it…
And while he has gotten a bit used to watching you eat random stuff when you go out on walks… he still wants to make sure whatever you’re putting in your mouth is not just random stuff so he will listen to your renting…
For example, the day you ate something called it chickweed filled with vitamins and minerals like calcium and magnesium as well as vitamins A and C great for salads… he might try some of the weird things you make, but usually only when you have gotten him very curious or actually hooked on something
Ticket Taker
He always goes out with his favourite visitor when the circus is particularly empty and quiet…especially if you’re going out at night he found it relaxing…and an excuse to stay close to “protect” you (even though you have went to that forest more times than you can count and can travel it with your eyes closed)
He does find it fascinating that you appear to know exactly what you can and cannot eat… although he is sure you have spent a lot of time in the hospital when being reckless… and the look he gave you when he gave you one of the violets he picked for you and minutes later you started chewing on it…
And then tried to explain in a hurry that you are hungry and he shouldn’t worry because you have eaten violets a lot of times before since they had vitamin A and C… he really should monitor what you eat a bit more, even if it’s safe he’s actually worried about your stomach…
Doctor
He always goes out with his favourite patient to gather herbs, and is actually the only one that shares your passion because he actually knows her herbs and what is safe to eat or not… but you know more… that is fascinating to him…
He is the surprise when he sees you chewing on something and is actually very curious when he asks you what it taste like and what health benefits are… also can he use them in his medicine?
Like for example, the red clover that is already used in certain medicines for skin and blood health and you can make it into tea preferably with something good and natural like honey to make it sweeter… and believe me he is writing this down as you are talking
Alright, I hope you enjoy this even though I’m pretty sure I straight a bit because I actually made a bit of research on edible herbs/plants/weeds and try to find a few common ones that are actually edible and good for you so what I wrote is actually real though I do not recommend eating them ,just to be safe 😅
