Hi, I'm a bit shy because of my English skills but I want to ask anyway.
Could you draw fem speeding bullet pretty please?
And I have a question. Can you tell about your speeding bullet headcanons?
im about to drop an insane infodump btw . headcanons and all that is below the cut.
tldr; sniper is autistic, scout is adhdtistic, and they both love each other more than the other will ever know
i think that they show affection towards each other in a few different ways. on one hand they will bully each other (scout saying "wow u missed lmao" and sniper just grumbling a bit and rolling his eyes but in a way that u can tell there's Fondness there) but on the other hand they share small moments that are way more intimate in hindsight (fixing the other's hat if it's crooked, checking for injuries after fights, sitting in comfortable silence)
adding onto that. i heavily hc sniper as autistic (sensory avoidant) and scout having adhd (and even as being a sensory seeking autistic but shh) and those aspects are ones i find important to how they interact with each other on a day to day basis .. i feel like sniper is a bit flat in his tone (like when talking to anyone normally) and is generally semiverbal/selectively mute. also i think that a part of the reason he's so skilled with yk . being a sniper . is bc he's spending a lot of that time by himself which in turn means he has an easier time due to not having to worry about external stimuli (unless he's spotted, but also i feel like he's able to be fine when that happens due to having the prior alone time that wasnt overwhelming).
scout, on the other hand, i feel thrives in higher energy environments and can get antsy if there's Nothing Going On, possibly due to how he's so used to high energy environments anyways and its normal to him. he always needs to be doing something, especially in low energy environments, which could range from fidgeting with his hands (drumming his fingers, playing with his dog tags, tossing a ball up and catching it, etc) to roping the other mercs into his random (and usually stupid) ideas just so he has something to do. he is generally impulsive in his day to day life
okay actually on to the "how this affects their interactions with each other on a day to day basis" part. sniper tends to keep to himself but will interact with someone if they interact first, except for with scout. he will go out of his way to chat with him at least a few times a day even though he rarely does it with the other mercs (they all have loosely picked up on the favoritism towards scout). even if he's not actively talking to scout, sniper will still try to be around him even if it just means being in the same room as him (parallel play). scout will generally seek him out a little more than the other mercs and visibly gets nervous around sniper (battling his bisexuality). he tends to go to sniper either as the first person he talks to or the last person (rest of the mercs being busy would be an example of this) since he knows that no matter what, sniper will make room for him in his life. sometimes it will be an actual conversation, but scout also doesn't mind that sniper doesn't talk much in general and will just be near him because he likes him! they are very yapper x listener to me ..
okay this part is just gonna be disorganized thoughts about them
my favorite way to portray speeding bullet is pre-relationship, specifically scout losing his MIND over the fact that he likes a guy and not really knowing how to act around sniper, and also him being convinced that he's getting mixed signals from him. sniper, on the other hand is just like "man. i wish he would ask me out already hes so obvious". sniper wont ask him out because he knows that scout is in heavy denial but he also tries to make it clear in the way he acts that he will still be there whenever scout is ready for a relationship (aka those mixed signals).
in general they are very quiet about the way they show care to each other. not everything they say is a declaration of love but instead everything they DO is. they are both intentionally more subtle with their displays of affection, sniper moreso since he can keep a steady head on his shoulders about intimacy (most of the time). scout will brush the hair out of sniper's face. he will linger just a little bit longer than he should. he will draw sniper over and over again in his sketchbook trying to perfect every detail of his face. sniper will fix scout's bandages if he notices that they're coming undone, even if scout can do it better and faster. he'll put his hand on his shoulder and will also linger longer than he should. sniper likes woodcarving, and the amount of rabbits and dogs he's made while thinking about scout that he ended up tossing in his fire is an unknown amount.
when scout can't sleep, he'll go over to sniper's camper van just to Talk To Him since he knows sniper is usually up late anyways. sometimes they'll talk about the events of the day, sometimes sniper is cooking something over the fire that they'll share. sometimes they'll fall asleep cuddling in a bed that's too small for them and wake up next to each other, then pretend it never happened even if both of them can't stop thinking about just how Domestic that was. one thing they could agree on is that the quiet moments mean more to them than either would ever say. they both crave stability in different ways, but they overlap in the way that they love.
when they're not longingly looking into each other's eyes, they have a little fun with their affection! as i said earlier, they definitely bully each other a bit but both of them know it's not in a genuinely mean way. sniper will shove scout's hat down over his eyes, meanwhile scout will snatch sniper's hat off his head and shove it in his face. they'll rough-house with each other when they're bored. they'll laugh a bit when the other misses a shot or a swing, but the moment one of them is hurt, the other will immediately go into caring mode.
i like to think that scout had a slight crush on sniper after interacting only a few times that completely consumed him once they got closer. he's a head-over-heels loverboy, and anyone who knows him knows that fact. he's not good at romance but he tries REALLY hard to be. he'll buy flowers and accidentally kill them before ever getting the chance to give them to anyone, plan dates that always somehow get ruined (weather, wrong open times, etc), and just generally is unlucky in the lovey-dovey department. he does really try though
sniper started crushing on scout due to his persistence to talk to him. he's not used to people taking much interest in him, partially because he prefers to be in the background and also because he doesn't want to put himself out there in fear of people finding his autistic traits weird. this guy wears sunglasses no matter what time of day because it means he doesn't have to look people in the eyes. when scout found that out and Didnt Judge Him, it meant a lot more than scout knew it did. it was also what started the fondness that sniper felt towards him, that, of course, turned into love. for sniper, it took a while for those feelings to fully blossom into something full but once that happened he was GONE. i think sniper daydreams a lot about just being around scout and talking with him :)
okay this is super long. i could probably talk about them for hours so umm.. if any1 reading this wants to know more PLSSSSS send me an ask :3
