(Romantic) The Divine Creatures of Darkness: General relationship headcanons
The most protective of the Big Five. She’ll have her host check up on you daily, at the risk of losing their power.
Some guy bothering you? No problem, she’ll pay them a little visit. She’s very... persuasive, as it were.
As a witch from the late 1600’s, she doesn’t entirely understand the concept of dating at first. She’s more on the “this person and I are interested romantically and that’s all that matters”. When she figures it out, she goes all. Out. Moonlit picnics in the woods, cozy nights in at a cabin, you name it. And she always puts a personal twist on them to keep things exciting.
She’ll fashion you small charms to ward off evil spirits and brings good luck. It’s no gold chain necklace, but she puts a lot of care into making them and that definitely counts for something.
Over time, she may start trying to convince you to take on her power so she’ll be with you all the time.

A sweet, albeit protective partner.
She’s been hurt one too many times in her life as a human, and what she really needs is someone to stand by her and give her the love and validation she craves.
Again, very protective. If you’re upset, she’ll flip between soothing you and plotting revenge on those who wronged you.
She like to wrap her branches around you when you two cuddle. She doesn’t understand human limits anymore, so you need to tell her yourself if they’re getting too tight. She doesn’t want to crush you.
Likes to grow flowers for the sole purpose of putting them in your hair. Seeing you with them, human and nature blended into one beautiful being, makes the hole in her aching heart start to close up.
Canonically has a lot of himbo energy outside of being a murderer (don’t believe me, check out Crypt TV’s Instagram), so I imagine he’d be pretty fun to be around.
He’ll probably bring you back pieces of his victims as little gifts. You know, like how cats bring back dead animals to their owners as a sign of love.
Relationships for him are a contact sport. He’s very touch-oriented, so cuddles and hugs are his favorite thing. He can’t kiss, so he’ll try to compensate by face nuzzles or licks.
He’s probably the easiest monster to go out of the house with. Just tape some Groucho glasses to his face and maybe give him a wig to cover up those nasty scars, he can be somewhat plausible for a human being.
His perfect night, however, is snuggling up with you on the couch and getting to hold you for hours on end. If he had his way, he’d never have to let go.
If he can’t check up on you, he’ll have his proxy check on you for him. Expect to see more of Jenni when you two start dating.
Shit, dude, how’d you get this cannibal queen on your side? It really is a wonder that you haven’t gotten eaten yet, but you’re not really complaining at this point.
Like The Look-See, The Queen is very touch-oriented and likes to rub. She’s either super soft or super rough. There is no in-between.
If you bring her meats when you visit, be it human or animal, she’ll love you forever. She’ll also respond by bringing you some of her own favorite meats. Just be careful to not get caught with it when you get back to civilization.
Dates with her include snuggling by a soft brook in the woods or racing each other through the trees. You’ll have to have a lot of stamina to keep up with her in a race, because she’s fast as fuck.
When she feels like you two are equals in the relationship, she’ll invite you to join the blood hunt. You’ll have to lose some of your conscience if you go, because all Mordeo are expected to contribute.
Once the other Mordeo have gotten the point that no, you are not a sacrifice, they’ll become deathly protective of you. People giving you shit better watch out, because you have a whole-ass army of cannibal deer people at your disposal. Granted, you’ll have to lure them into the woods, first...
Probably the most high-strung out of everyone on here. His job is literally to track down and kill people who don’t deserve a second chance.
He’s not as emotive as the other four. Hell, even the Mordeo Queen shows positive body language. As a grim reaper, being emotional just... ain’t in his nature.
It’s harder for him to take you out, because people have one of two reactions when they see him — scream and call the national guard, or sneer at him for “cosplaying” in public.
Soot isn’t too big on touching, but he does like holding your hands. They’re so soft and warm compared to his ugly, rotted and chapped ones.
He likes games, oddly enough, but he’s absolutely ruthless when he plays. Thankfully, he takes his losses in good faith, because the last thing anyone wants to be is on the wrong end of an angry grim reaper.
He does feel bad that you can’t have a real date what with his ghastly appearance, so he tries to make up for it by having a fun time indoors. Mind you, he hasn’t been dating for very long, so he’s not going to be good at it.
But he tries, and he learns from his mistakes. And he does his best to make the next one even better.
