new viewer who admittedly havent watched much of season 1 but i keep thinking of people pointing out that parrot has played on the server long enough before withers at spawn were a problem so it doesnt make sense that he says had to evade withers too when he spawned in. what if... after paragon, parrot spawned in to the overworld clearly disoriented and a dissociating, bird boy was going to die, until he was helped by a stranger... and it was lettuce lol
lets just uhhh assume in this scenario parrot freeing him happens sometime around season one or whatever and he have been wandering around from ruined civ to ruined civ, slowly getting more and more resentful that powerful players always destroy things for everyone. anyway, when hes in the middle of scheming, what does he see, but his inspiration, his savior, the guy he lowkey has a crush on, stumbling around in the middle of field of destruction with withers circling around like birds of prey. of course he has to do something, of course he has to risk his life and drag that bird ass into safety.
parrot looks a mess when he founds him. Feathers covered in grime and dust, signs of overplucking around his body (birds' equivalent of self harm), a vague smell of gunpowder, and where's wifies? Wasnt that guy his friend or something? what happened? lettuce tried to ask but hes so... unresponsive. shell shocked. On the few moments where he seems aware of whats going on, he either retreats to a corner brandishing some improvised weapon with a new bald spot on his wings or gets so distressed because he doesnt remember anything that might lead him into his predicament, including wifies. Even after some investigation, the few who would know what happened, refused to say anything. for now, the best lettuce could do is give him food, a bath, a nice place to sleep in, and some space so parrot could gather his thoughts to himself. and lettuce treats him kindly like that, he melts, but in a strange way. like he could feel despite parrot being almost babylike in this state, hes still eyeing on sharp things to use around the room just in case lettuce gets too handsy or posessive to his liking. Parrot doesnt seem to recognize anyone too. It creeps him out.
Lettuce promised to do good for him, but theres always an evil voice in his head, taunting him that it would be so easy. It would be so easy when parrot's in on one of his fugue spells, he wouldnt even remember or even notice how sore his body gets because of it since everything probably hurts so much already. and if he wakes up while lettuce was in the middle of it... Its not like hes strong enough to actually uses all of those household objects into a weapon. He was covered in so much bruises... Whats a few more? It haunts him. Haunts lettuce so much that he could have thoughts like that while someone he deeply respects is in peril. But... If he wouldnt remember it... Would it be so wrong? Wouldnt it be so wrong to find pleasure in seeing him struggle and be overpowered
the thought of lettuce being the first one to find parrot post-paragon instead of theo oh my god ur mind....
this is a really awesome concept!! lettuce most definitely despises the strong players for bringing destructions after destructions... and yesss!!! the thought of lettuce being all excited seeing parrot again and then his heart starts beating faster for another reason; in which, the reason is seeing parrot in danger... he’d most definitely risk his life saving parrot. i mean, parrot’s risked a lot saving him (and other people) before, of course he has to return the favor.
parrot plucking his feathers 🥹🥹🥹🥹 god i always love when people headcanon him to do that. and parrot unconsciously searching for weapons to defend himself with is very in character... i feel like it’s just in his nature to constantly analyze his surroundings.
and. and. Ooohh my gosh. oooh my 🫣. ooohh such horrible, horrible thoughts! there’s just no way he could do that to parrot of all people. but, at the same time, it could be a way for him to repay parrot for his kindness... physical pleasure isn’t so bad, is it? even if parrot’s consciousness is against it, his body doesn’t lie. parrot’s already pretty weak, it won’t take much effort to overpower him especially when he’s in such state. it’s a disgusting thing to fantasize about, but, you know... it’s not so horrible to entertain those thoughts once in a while. there’s a strange thrill that accompanies the feeling of overpowering someone you respect so dearly. and if he makes sure parrot won’t remember it, then it won’t even be much of a problem, would it? ^_^
