han jisung now has a pet gecko named richard and i'm being really emo about it
so here's a list of headcanons, in tumblr format, about stray kids' first dorm pet <3
ok first some context for those who are chronically offline: a couple years ago, minho mentioned that he would want a lizard as a pet. and today jisung revealed that the minsung dorm has a new member! i crashed out about it to approximately 6 different people and i thought. Hey . i haven't used tumblr in a hot minute. might as well combine EVERY SINGLE headcanon i had into one nice list.
enjoy :D
minsung have spent the past few months discussing gecko logistics over dinner
they take it very seriously. picture first-time parents reading books on gecko care, researching best terrariums/lamps/food on forums, watching terrarium building videos on youtube, the works
jisung is also very serious about teaching richard her ancestry via his plastic dino figurines
richard also gets a little custom dog bed (gecko? bed?) on their couch for when they watch tv together
richard ipad baby...
when she sheds for the first time it's a huge milestone. jisung gets really teary eyed and he's like "minho 😭 min ho hyu ng 😭 she's growing up i'm so proud of herrrrr rr rr 😭" and he shows the molt to minho and minho's like "give it back she has to eat it" (he learned from instagram reels that geckos eat their own molts sometimes)
oh yeah and their algorithms are both completely fucked. it's just reptile pet content. it's taken over their phones completely with no chance of them ever being normal again
Yang Jeongin goes over to minsung's house and is like oh haha lizard. it kinda looks like me. and then he sticks his face next to hers and they have matching bread smiles and jisung nearly starts sobbing because they're so cute
changbin is a big fan of richard (as her godfather, he has to be) but also because he's not allergic to her
anyway. baby richard. we all love you. welcome to stayville <3
au where jisung (anemic) participates in his friend felix's first intro to dance lesson at his new studio. he's in the back, hiding a little, but quietly supporting there's a second instructor supervising the class from behind jisung. he’s devastatingly hot. jisung starts feeling a little bit more nervous than usual.
about halfway through he starts feeling dizzy, and—oh no. he goes lightheaded and suddenly he's slumped against the back wall, his head between his knees, a solid hand in the center of his shoulder blades. he looks up, head still heavy.
it’s the hot dance instructor. he looks concerned, eyes huge. and jisung feels like he’s about to faint. again. the guy introduces himself as minho, asks if he’s good to stand. jisung, mortified, realizes he isn’t at all okay to stand, but manages to choke out that he’s just anemic and this happens sometimes. minho looks relieved, and slings one of jisung’s arms around his shoulder, grabs his waist with a warm grip, and yanks him up, half-dragging him into the office.
they end up talking until felix’s class ends, despite jisung wanting to dig a hole and stay there forever. he finds out minho is really Just Some Guy who loves his cats. and if jisung leaves the studio with a new phone number and the promises of a home-cooked, iron-rich meal, well, that’s between him and minho.
// mild dubcon!!! vampire blood is an aphrodisiac, but minsung are both very very into it. also obvious warning for blood
happy spooky month 🧡🧡 au where newly-turned vampire jisung has tiny dull fangs and can’t pierce anything, so he turns to a popular supernatural dating app to find a sugar (blood?) daddy to provide for him. he ends up meeting hundred-year-old, mildly bored minho
(+ 1k words of brainrot below the cut)
minho only agrees because jisung is super pathetic and a baby and might die without him,,, but the only thing jisung hears is “you’re cute and i want to help you” so he ignores whatever stranger danger senses that are tingling in his mind because 1, he loves vampires and 2, minho is a Really hot one. (also, when they first meet, jisung wears a victorian top and styles his hair and minho’s like ??? what are you wearing??? and jisung pouts and says he’s always wanted to be an ancient vampire and that this is really awesome for him. minho is appalled because what kind of freak lives this life willingly?)
the first time minho meets jisung, he immediately checks his fangs and frowns at how dull and useless they are. it’s gotta be some medical anomaly, but he’s not particularly knowledgeable about things like this. but that’s not an issue, because he can provide for jisung. (meanwhile, jisung is mildly confused as to why there’s a hot vampire sticking his fingers in his mouth and feeling up his teeth and gums, but he’s not complaining at all)
since blood is basically their life force, i'm assuming it makes them feel stronger and dials their senses to eleven. it’s also an aphrodisiac, one that jisung isn’t used to, given that he’s a fledgling. minho doesn’t realize this, since he’s a thousand years old, so he’s completely thrown off guard when jisung starts mouthing at minho’s neck. he starts saying things like “i can hear the blood in your veins” “you smell so good” and he’s gripping minho’s shirt so tightly it’s about to rip, completely unaware of his newfound strength.
he tries to bite minho's neck (a HUGE no-no in vamp culture—it's considered extremely disrespectful because the neck is the most vulnerable point on a vampire’s body) and minho grabs his hair and yanks him back on reflex but jisung, the freak that he is, accidentally thinks it's really hot and gets turned on, whining at the pain
cue minho realizing he’s going to have to train the instincts out of this newborn. he’s not technically jisung’s sire, but eventually, their bond becomes so strong he might as well be. he goes on power trips, not because he wants to own jisung, but a bit further than that. it’s knowing that he’s the sole reason that jisung is still alive. that he’s jisung’s only provider. minho too caught up in the fantasy that he demands jisung tell him who made him and jisung gasps out an answer, saying something like "you—you’re my sire" and minho almost blacks out from the power trip
main takeaway—minho gets off on wanting to be the reason jisung exists because he’s a freak like that
anyway, months pass, and minho continues to check on jisung’s progress every day (sadly, with no improvements. his fangs are still human-like). usually, vampires feed about once a week, but minho likes to give jisung blood a few times a week,,, something about having bright red eyes signifying wealth because it means you’re fully fed,,, something about minho spoiling jisung to no end,,, something about minho secretly indulging whenever jisung is blood-drunk,,,
on week, jisung goes a little bit too long without feeding and his eyes start to fade from their bright red to a muted scarlet. minho grabs his cheeks, forces him to make eye contact, tuts at the color, unsatisfied. he can’t let his fledgling have anything other than the brightest of ruby eyes. so he sighs and offers his neck to jisung. says “just this once you can feed from me”. it’s a sign of the utmost respect because he’s giving up his sense of control. jisung panics and denies the offering, shaking his head viciously, his eyes wide. “no, no, i can’t do that. i can’t.” and minho glows inside because it means his training worked. jisung’s been taught so well and has such good manners that he insists on letting jisung feed. “i promise it’s okay”.
so jisung gingerly sinks his teeth into minho’s neck, whining because he can’t pierce the flesh deep enough. minho sighs and bites his wrist with his own fangs, holding it out to jisung, who grabs it with both hands and latches on and starts lapping at the wound. it turns out, blood from a vampire is more of an extreme aphrodisiac because their blood is more concentrated than a human’s. jisung goes blood-drunk almost immediately (bless his lightweight heart) and he’s suddenly a squirmy, whining mess perched on minho’s lap,,, craving praise,, he begs minho to bite him too, “it feels so good, please try,” and of course minho knows what being blood-drunk feels like, he’s a thousand years old, but he indulges. and jisung’s blood is so very sweet and addicting and suddenly he’s blood-drunk too,,, and they’re both panting and dripping each other’s blood into their mouths,,, pupils blown,,,
so yeah,,,, those are my freaky vampire brainworms,,,,, thank you for listening,,,
+ bonus,,,, sass mentioned that minho could absolutely tell when jisung’s blood goes south when he fed for the first time. of course, jisung doesn’t know this. he panics because he can't be attracted to his "sire" that's gotta be inappropriate right??? so he flushes and pretends it doesn't happen and then goes to take care of himself in private and the whole time minho is just a little bit confused because vampire blood is supposed to make people horny so why isn't jisung asking for help? (i'm making things up here. i'm saying vampire culture, especially sex, is a bit different than human culture and that sex is more casual/not a huge deal if that makes sense)
minho corners him and tells him he can tell when jisung's turned on and he's Mortified until minho very politely tells him that it's fine? and that he shouldn't worry? and that he can help? and jisung basically bluescreens because hello hot ancient vampire man wants to fuck him (he hasn’t quite gotten past the culture shock yet but he will. he discovers courting soon.)
There’s a new policy that requires groups to complete a breathalyzer test before they participate in any music show. Something about not taking any chances—Changbin says loudly that they’re no fun. A staff member hands their manager a few to pass around—Minho sees Felix and Jeongin lock their elbows together, doing the test as if they’re taking shots, their cheeks ballooning. He shakes his head fondly as he grabs a device for himself, says he’ll help Jisung (who’s napping, tucked into the corner of a couch, as normal). Minho brushes Jisung’s hair out of his eyes, gently tapping him awake as he brings the breathalyzer to his lips. He taps it over Jisung’s pouty bottom lip, sleep-swollen. Jisung blinks at him with huge confused eyes. Minho thinks vaguely that he resembles a deer—or some other helpless woodland creature.
“Open wide, Jisung-ah,” Minho says sweetly. Immediately, Jisung complies. His lips part and he takes the small spout into his mouth, sealing his lips over the tip. All while staring directly into Minho's eyes.
“Blow,” Minho whispers. Jisung’s cheeks bulge with the effort, a frown appearing between his eyebrows. He goes a little cross-eyed, trying to read the LED screen in front of his nose.
And Minho's suddenly in another world, in a different situation. It’s a waste of Jisung’s talented lips. There are other things Jisung could put his mouth on. Better things. Looking down at Jisung at this angle reminds him of—
The machine beeps, lighting up a bright green. 0.00% alcohol in Han Jisung’s system, as expected.
Minho blinks. Hard. Clears his head. Remembers that it’s a spout. There’s no need to be jealous of a plastic mouthpiece. Logically, he knows this. But sometimes, Minho’s guilty of being a little too possessive over Jisung. Which is probably something to unpack later (or never). They’ve got to perform soon. No time to get lost in his own mind.
“Thank you, jagi,” he says softly. Jisung grumbles, flipping over and falling back asleep. As Minho walks away, his pants feel a bit tighter than usual.
ice skating au where jisung is the ace of all aces but off-ice his bambi legs take over and he forgets how to walk
minho is a competitor and thinks jisung is super intimidating because he's only studied his skating clips
but then jisung literally Falls in front of him and then pulls out the lamest pick up line ever and so minho is like. hm. maybe i should re-evaluate cuz jisung is the biggest megaloser he's ever met.
i dunno too much about ice skating but i assume there's a lot of waiting time so bonus points if they start to bond over anime/music/minho's cats during competitions
more bonus points if they're at the same hotel during a comp and they're both sore and stressed and ooh look there's a convenient hot tub and they run into each other there and one thing leads to another and they decide to become fwb for """"stress relief"""" and and and
i'm brainrotting today i'm foaming at the mouth just a little bit today please be crazy with me
