Headcanons of how would Scanlan, Percy, and Vax react to their crush accidentally confessing to them?

darling!! i had the best time with this one!!! thank you!! so! much!!!

REBLOGS > LIKES!!!! (I'm gonna keep making this bigger til people notice -_-)

warnings: canon typical drinking in scanlan's, death in vax's. happy ending tho.

Scanlan

Gods, he adores performing in front of you. He’s always got your full attention, even if some of VM orders food and drinks or start a drinking competition. He’s always got your full attention.

He’ll spend quite some time on daily travels singing softly or spinning glorious stories for your entertainment, and you always will walk or sit besides him and smile.

He’s always glad to have you at his side to back up his grandiose, obviously fake, stories at taverns or even in front of VM – who know you’re both lying but shrug it off.

When you all end up at a tavern, you expect it to be the same sort of night. Scanlan preforms, Grog and Vax have a drinking contest, Vex tending to Kiki when she drinks too much and vomits.

You’d gladly have just watched Scanlan perform, but it’s offputting to watch him flirt with the bartender with, basically, her whole tits out.

You’ve seen it before, but something about that night got to you worse. So, like any sane member of VM, you join in the drinking contest.

You’re drunk by your third ale. Vax is drunk by his sixth. Grog doesn’t get drunk. Pike joins and is drunk by her fifth, Kiki by her first, and like Grog, Vex doesn’t get drunk.

She busies herself dragging Vax, Kiki, and Pike to bed while Scanlan tries to help you.

“You know something…?” You mumble, smiling.

“I know many things. Such as… You need to get some rest.” He helps you stand and grins at you.

“Noooo… I mean… You know…? I…?” You’re half way up the stairs to the rooms and you fall down, grinning at him.

“You need to get to your rooommmmm.”

“I loveeee youuuuu.”

He blinks. He’s pretty taken aback to be honest. Sure, he’s been crushing on you and you’re sweet on him all the time but? You share his feelings? Or are you just drunk?

“That’s the alcohol talking. Come on.”

He’ll spend the night in the room taking care of you, pondering your words and worrying about the truth. When you wake in the morning, he makes sure you don’t vomit on yourself.

He doesn’t ask you about last night. You don’t take much time before you ask “so… finally? You finally got me in bed? …Took you long enough.”

“Nah, you just got drunk off your ass. But good to know you’re as horny for me as I am for you.”

Percy

When he became interested in creating things such as his pepperbox and bad news, it was from a place of hate and vengeance.

But beyond using the weapons for that and to protect VM, his family, he doesn’t enjoy such creations.

So, he works with other stuff. He makes little clockwork contraptions which he usually presents to children that VM help. Once, specifically, he created a clockwork bird that sang for a mother and her five year old.

 And, despite the fact that most of VM didn’t get how his contraptions worked, he absolutely adored showing how he made them.

To you, and the rest of VM, it was just a tangling of gears that made no sense.

With that said, you loved to watch him work. He got so into the zone, his eyes focused and bright.

He’d explain everything to you, even if it made no sense to you.

“You see, this sets off the chain reaction that ignites the spark. As long as there is nothing flammable about, there’s nothing dangerous. Not like my guns… It just looks like the little dragon is breathing fire.”

“Percy… That’s amazing. Gods, I love you.”

He doesn’t notice for a moment – he just keeps working on the little dragon and talking about how it works, the end goal, the fact that he hopes there’s a kid out there who will like it.

Then… He stops. He folds his hands. He looks up at you.

“What… Did you say?”

Whether or not you begin with an excuse or an admittance of your feelings, he doesn’t give you much time.

He puts his hand on yours and, careful not to overstep boundaries, asks “may I kiss you?”

And gods know you say yes.

Vax’ildan

Vax’ildan is used to loss. He hates it, but he is.

He lost his mother first. She died when a dragon attacked their town.

He never had his father. Fuck him.

Then he feels he lost Vex for a while; she tried to do anything to gain their father’s approval while he was glad to ignore him.

Then he had someone for a little while – Cyriel – but he lost her when he and Vex fled.

He’s used to the idea that soon enough, he’ll lose again. He’ll lose his sister, or VM, or whatever.

He never really expected they’d lose him.

Percival got possessed. Sure, he had been by Orthrax, but this was different. Worse.

Percy’s deadly in combat. VM knows that. Vax knows that. It’s why he took a bullet for you.

He collapsed, gasping for air as you knelt, calling for Pike or Keyleth for help.

The battle went on around you. More gunshots and more yelling.

Despite the blood pooling around him, Vax smiles, that dumbass has the audacity to smile. He’s dying in your arms and he smiles.

Because, hey, if he’s gonna die, he’d like for his crush to be the last thing he sees.

And you plead with him, beg him, just to hang on just a little longer, because Pike is almost here and “Vax, please, you can’t die, please. You can’t. No, Vax, please. Please! I love you!”

And that dumb bitch still smiles up at you. He’s bleeding out in your lap and he keeps smiling.

He doesn’t think Pike or Keyleth will get there in time, honestly.

He just smiles, beams, and says “I know, peach.” And he knows, he knows he’s dying and he figures he’s not coming back, so it’s “I… love you… but… shit time to admit it, hm?”

He’s barely awake now, his eyes hazy but still smiling.

A few moments later, Pike practically trips over him as she bolts closer. “Shit! Shit! Hold on, hold on!”

You sit besides them, holding Vax’s head in your arms as Pike shuts her eyes and prays again and again to the Everlight, to Sarenrae, to save one of her best friends.

VM gathers, worried and sobbing.

It’s a matter of time before he’s back, grinning up and promising VM “can’t get rid of me that easy.”

It’s a little while before you get alone time, but he takes it when he can. He grabs you, and he dips you dramatically, and he kisses you.

“Promise. Can’t get rid of me that easy.”

[sir-phillip-crane]

I'm glad I asked! I want to double check with you if the prompt is ok. It's Headcanons of how would Scanlan, Percy, and Vax react to waking up on their crush's lap because he was so tired that he just fell asleep after a mission so they decided to let him take a nap? Does it makes sense XD

FUCK YEAH BABE. i had so much damn inspo - hope you enjoy!!!

requests open!

reblogs > likes!!!

Scanlan

Honesty, he’s not at all used to being tired and drained after missions. He’s crucial to the party but, hey, he keeps his energy up all the time for performing – he only really crashes after nights spent with his escapades.

But shit, this mission? He had to preform for twenty hours straight. No breaks, no nothing.

By the time he’s done, he’s so tired Pike has to carry him into the cart. Sure, she kinda tosses him in the corner and goes to talk to Grog, but it’s the thought that counts or something.

You go to check on the barely awake Scanlan and get him to drink something.

He barely manages a “hey babe…” before he’s got his head on your lap and arms around your waist – and is out fucking cold.

Percy and Pike are taking turns driving and Pike warns VM that you’re in for a long night – even if you guys travel all night, it’s still about another two days travel back to the keep.

From there, Kiki and Vex will start to argue about how they could have used Kiki’s tree spell, but no Kiki is too attached to the horses to leave them.

Admittedly, it’s entertaining to watch them bicker and passes the time… because Scanlan doesn’t wake up until noon the next day.

“’Sup darlin’… how long was I out for?”

He’s definitely the least embarrassed of anybody in this position. Waking up in his crush’s lap? That’s a win.

Now, despite the fact that he was the one out cold, he’ll insist that he was only tired because everything you two did last night ;)))))

And Vex immediately yells “oh, you mean all the snoring? Sounds tiring.”

“Shut up Vex!”

“You shut up, Scanlan!!”

They’ll argue for a little bit about the events of last night, until Scanlan wraps it up with a “Screw you, feather head!”

And with that, he will absolutely come and sit on your lap and complain more and more about Vex and how she’s always wrong.

Percival von Keysmash

At this point, Percy has been up for seventy two hours straight. The mission to handle the Briarwoods weighed pretty hard on him for obvious reasons.

It’s going on seventy three hours when you manage to lure him to the temporary bedroom Cassandra has put you up in.

He’s very, insanely insistent on staying awake. He’s got things to do. He’s gotta figure out Ripley’s gun. He’s gotta make more ammo for his pepperbox. He’s gotta work on Bad News. He’s gotta… He’s gotta…

You knew Percy well enough to know that when he’s like this, there’s no changing his mind.

So you simply sat down on the bed and opened up a book you found. It’s a fairytale that you, personally, aren’t that familiar with.

You read it out loud – it’s a story of a man who follows Death into the afterlife and, when looking at the people there, notices animals in their garments and their faces covered.

Death explains to the man that the masquerade is the life humans life and the animals represent shame and such.

By now, Percy’s come to bed and has put his head on your lap as you read to him. You put your hand in his hair and comb his messy hair.

(The fairy tale is #7, “on the last day”, if yall are interested. But the rest are cool too. https://listverse.com/2017/12/22/10-obscure-and-deeply-odd-fairy-tales-written-by-hans-christian-andersen/)

You’re barely another sentence in by the time he starts snoring, one of his hands grabbing yours and the other around your thigh.

It’s not until the next morning when he wakes up. He’s still tired af and sort of loopy, just keeping his head there for a minute before asking “…What day is it?”

You tell him that it’s Winterscrest and there’s some festivities planned for the day.

He lays there a little while, wondering if he wants to get up and deal with VM and his sister or just… lay in bed and enjoy the view of the snow from the warmth of bed.

The latter is absolutely, 50000% his choice.

He does apologize for trapping you in bed all night, and if you’d like to go out to Winterscrest then he won’t make you stay.

You simply invite him under the covers and ask if he wants to go back to sleep or talk.

He insists its up to you; he’s just happy that you’re both there and safe.

Vax’ildan

Let’s be real. Vax has been taking care of him and Vex and Trinket for years. He’s used to being the one to make sure Vex gets enough sleep and eats and covers her arm for recoil when shooting.

Even as VM formed, he got used to making sure everybody was okay. Making sure Grog got to bed after getting drunk af. Making sure Scanlan didn’t play too long and injure his wrist or fingers. Etc etc

Vex has taken care of him pretty often too, but she knows he’s not used to being the one who needs taken care of.

So when a mission ends with a warlock casting a sickness spell on Vax and Pike isn’t around to heal him, he’s not doing great.

Percy insists on keeping you all at an inn until they can get Pike or another healer powerful enough to help there.

You’re worried as hell, but Keyleth insists that, since you don’t know what it is or if it’s contagious, that VM should stay out of there to the best of their abilities.

Well, Vex isn’t gonna listen.

And, not that the advice is given to him, but Vax won’t either.

He’s dosed up on herbs and medicine that Vex hoped would help and he’s loopy as all shit.

His entire life he’s gotten used to sneaking around so his mama didn’t catch him, so Vex didn’t, so his horrid father didn’t.

So he sneaks out of his room with ease and comes to see you.

He’s in your room without any noise and easily could have stayed hidden, or greeted you with something better than a dazed “heyyyyyyyyy…..”

You know he’s sick, and you know it might get you sick, but he reaches out and will kinda grab at you without moving; “grabby hands.”

Very. Insistent. Grabby hands.

You’ll let him lay down and he passes out the second his head is on your chest.

It isn’t much later when Pike gets there and easily finds where Vax has gone. A few healing spells and prayers to Sarenrae and he seems so much better.

She knows the spell cast on him and gives you a quick run down; not contagious. It’s a blood thing that “thickens” the blood and so it is harder for the blood to be pumped through the body.

(I made that up on the fly, I know it doesn’t make sense)

A quick spell or two ‘thins’ the blood back to the way it should be. He’s just tired and should be good the next morning.

She’s got things to do, she’s basically the champion of the Everlight, so she’ll give both you and Vax quick forehead kisses before leaving.

Vax wakes up with the sun, something that he’s done basically every day of his life. Usually, he’ll get up and stretch and make a healthy meal. Some yoga, maybe some singing to warm up his voice.

Today it’s just “…oh gods, what did I do last night???” He’s blushy and embarrassed, assuming he had gotten drunk and succeeded in bedding you. “I’m as bad as Scanlan-”

You cut him off and explain, no, there was the warlock that hit him with a spell and it got him sick, but Pike visited and he’s better now.

“So, I was sick… Explains why I’m so tired…” And he’ll nuzzle against your neck and stay like that, pretty comfy and happy.

[sir-phillip-crane]

Hey! I found your blog recently saw that requests were open and I was wondering if you could do the VM boys × engineering reader? If not it's all good, don't worry

thanks for the request darlin!! sorry for the wait!! 

reblogs > likes!!

Scanlan

·       In all honesty, he doesn’t know much about engineering or shit like that. He understands how to fix instruments or the inner workings of the human body (;)), but nothing much about electronics.

·       He’s fascinated by what you can do; you’ve made explosives for the team and embedded veins of enchanted gemstones into Keyleth’s headdress or Vex’s arrow.

·       “Isn’t engineering, like… Like what Percy does?”

·       It is, but you’re talented enough to explore other areas of experimentation.

·       He doesn’t understand how you can make wires and metal work in harmony and in ways more impressive than the pepperbox or, really, anything he’s seen.

·       Even if the contraption doesn’t boil down to wires, instead to roots and leaves, he’s so awed by it. Hell, he’s more awed if it isn’t metal. You made something that works without any man made materials in it.

·       You’re the creator of an electric lute and amplifier for him. Once again, no idea how the hell it works, but complete and utter amazement.

·       It’s got a few malfunctions at first – it’s finicky like any other instrument – but more messing around improves it each time.

·       You teach him the basics about how it works and how to fix it in the events you aren’t with VM, whether it be a separate mission or something… worse.

 Grog

·       He doesn’t really get anything you do. It’s weird techy stuff like Percy makes. There’s wires and metal and glowy bits.

·       And its all so delicate. You’re able to fix contraptions you made that are smaller than your hand as long as you have your tools with you.

·       You seem to be able to automate whatever you wish with ease, like adding a motor to the cart so VM doesn’t have to spend money to replace horses again and again.

·       The engine is definitely one of your larger creations, but if you remove one of the metal plates, it’s a chaotic mess of multicolered wires and bronze and copper.

·       As utterly awed as he is, he’s unsure about holding much of it. He knows that he could easily break it, so he’d rather not ruin something you worked so hard on.

·       But hey, you love him. You know it’s hard to understand how you made things work, so, instead you make simple contraptions meant for him. Even just welding a metal handle to his axe so there’s less of a chance it will break.

·       Anything made for him is sturdier than your other works and built to last, specifically, for him. Your other contraptions last but are easily breakable.

·       Not what you make for him, though. There’s very simple spells you can ask Pike or Keyleth for help with to work in his favor.

 Percy von keysmash

·       This is the only man who has even the slightest idea what the hell you’re doing

·       And holy fucking shit, he loves it.

·       You understand the workings of his Pepperbox as good as him, if not better. An outside gaze is wonderful for tinkering and trying to figure out what’s wrong.

·       You are the only other person allowed in his workshop. If the rest of VM needs him, they can knock and ask him to come out to talk. You? You’re allowed to enter without a knock and join him.

·       With a bit of help from Keyleth, he makes you a welding hood like his – that is, a creepy ass plague doctor mask.

·       Of the time you spend in his shop, your favorite times are when one of VM enters and both you and Percy look up, wearing these horrifying masks, and are met with an “umm I’ll come back later…”

·       You specialize in work that isn’t weapons, but you can look at Bad News and easily and quickly point out “…when you pull the trigger and it ignites the black powder… you didn’t put something in the way to stop the blast from ruining the gears.”

·       That was the piece he had been missing and earned you a a quick peck to the cheek. “Fucking thank you. I’ve been stuck on that since I made it.”

·       “Really? It’s easy to notice. Perhaps you’re just stupid.”

·       “…Not as stupid as you.”

·       “Careful. I’m the only one on this team that can disassemble your guns and make sure you can’t use those pieces again. That’s a threat.”

 Vax’ildan

·       He doesn’t have much of an idea what’s going on (affectionate)

·       His sister was always much smarter than him when it came to things in school or anything having to do with practical creations.

·       That being said, he’ll absolutely try to get what the hell you mean.

·       He’ll catch on quickly if you show him how things work; he still can’t explain why things work, but he could replicate them if you tried.

·       Unlike most of VM’s weapons, there’s not much you can do to add to daggers. They’re about as awesome as they could be.

·       He’ll absolutely encourage you to try your hand at weapons other than his!! Try something with Vex’s bow or arrows, that would be cool!!

·       He’ll gladly try to help; get you whatever equipment you need or water or food.

·       If you’d like to geek out about whatever you’re working on, he’d love to listen!

·       Wouldn’t understand any of it at all, but would love to listen.

16. “Everybody makes mistakes.” with Scanlan, Percy, and Vax please?

hey hey hey dear!! thanks so much for the request!!

reblogs > likes!!

requests open - and encouraged!

warnings: canon typical drinking and sex jokes

It was a mistake. You’ve made some throughout your life, sure, but nothing with as much guilt and terror as this one. Vox Machina had been hired to rescue some missing kids, and none of you could say no. It ended up a much worse battle than any of you had expected, and one of your attacks went astray and hit Keyleth in the middle of her chest, the druid staring at you in pain for a moment before collapsing.

Per usual, things had ended up… fine. Pike had easily revived Keyleth and she knew it had been a mistake and she held nothing against you. The children were returned to their families and VM made themselves at home at an inn in town. You had asked Vex for your own room, and since the family of one of the kids was letting you stay for free, she granted it. You were invited to go drinking, of course, but after that day, that mission, you just couldn’t bring yourself to look any of VM in their eyes.

Scanlan

He had preformed a few songs at the tavern, of course about the wonders that VM had pulled  during their travels. Surprisingly, he had stayed away from too many sex jokes since some kids managed to sneak in, but he entertained them by sitting and telling them stories about some of the inter-party idiocy that happened on a regular basis (like his ongoing game with Vax and Grog of ball tag).

And he got to a great part, a part that he’d absolutely call you over to elaborate on. But you weren’t around.

He dismissed himself soon enough, returning to the inn with two flagons of ale and coming up to your room. He didn’t knock, simply leaned against the door and greeted you with a “🎵 Hey there, darling~🎵 ”I’m not going away until you let me innnnn~🎵”

You knew him well enough to know it was useless to try and get him to leave, so you opened the door and let him in.

He handed you one of the ales, sitting crosslegged on the bed and greeting, “you never pass up a chance to hang out with us weirdos, you doin’ alright?”

He let you explain as little or as much as you wanted, sipping at his ale as he listened.

After a minute of thinking, he took his lute and strum a few chords. “Would you rather I try to cheer you up? Keep you company? Or just leave you to drink ale in peace?”

Keeping you company sounded the best

He had taken that as an invitation to lay down and make himself comfortable in your bed, waiting with a raised eyebrow. “Coming to bed?” He wiggled his eyebrows with a smirk.

You sat besides him, not quite ready to lay down yet.

He sat up, arms roping around your waist and chin on your shoulder. “You can’t feel bad, y/n. It was a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes – god knows I’ve made plenty. Heck, last week, I hit Vax so hard in the nuts he was bed bound for a day!”

You absolutely remembered that, laughing as you leaned against him.

“Come on,” he tugged on you, “you’ll feel better after some well deserved rest, hm?”

You still, admittedly, weren’t sure.

“Come onnnnnn… y/n, I’m way too hot to be sleeping alone. Come on. Come on. Come-”

You finally relented and let him tug you to lay down.

He spent the next few minutes coaxing you to sleep with soft humming and melodic mumblings.

Needless to say, one of the best rests you had in a while.

Percival von keysmash

Percy took any chance to turn down drinking – he would much rather enjoy a nice wine and looking out over town lights from a balcony than the yelling and fighting and drinking.

Pike had double checked if he wanted to come and made an offhanded comment that you were the only other one staying home from drinking.

Percy found that odd. Sure, maybe you didn’t enjoy drinking as much as, say, Grog, but you still weren’t one to turn down shenanigans with the gang.

He was rather attuned to guilt. He had misfired enough to have hurt himself or his friends some times, and he was used to the feelings afterwards.

So, he knew how to try and take care of those feelings. He went into town and bought some gourmet tea and sugary foods, then came back.

He knocked a few times on your door, assuming you didn’t know it was him and greeting you with “it’s just Percy; I brought you some pastries and tea.”

You let him in and he offered you the snacks and tea, although the drinks were closer to room temperature now.

It was unlike him to try and ignore the issues at hand, so he got right to it.

“Y/n, it is not your fault… I understand that you feel bad about it, but everybody makes mistakes.”

He sat on the edge of your bed, sipping on his own drink.

“You shouldn’t feel guilty about it. Keyleth is alright. The children are as well.”

He set the tea down and unlaced his boots, sitting closer to you and reaching out to grab your hand. “You cannot define yourself by your mistakes. That is something that I’ve learned; if our friends did so, they wouldn’t be themselves. We are not the errors we made. We are everything else.”

You invited him to lay down, and after taking off his copious amount of layers, he did.

He’d mumble some sweet words to you and rub your back until you had fallen asleep, at which point he’d also close his eyes and pass out.

Vax’ildan

Vax absolutely went drinking. He challenged Grog to a drinking contest and got dragged back to the inn by Pike and Vex after he almost passed out.

This specific job had really fucked him up. Those kids had thought their parents left them willingly, abandoned them, and Vax was a bit too familiar with that feeling.

His mother hadn’t, but his father hated him, and he hated his father back. Then seeing those kids have joyful reunions with both parents. Both. That cared about them. That loved them.

Vex had gotten him in bed before going to make sure all of VM made it home safe, and he absolutely took the time to get up.

He’s not as drunk as Vex thought, just a little bit tipsy. He’s absolutely sober enough to come to your room and knock, slurring “hey there, dove…”

Despite your state, you had to admit; it was fun to see him tipsy. The usually suave and borderline silent rouge stumbled in, smiling over at you brightly.

“I’m jus’ a bit worried ‘bout you.” He took the first opportunity he had to lean against you and hold your hands. “Fight was… bad.”

It was easy to get him to sit down as he fret over you, even more snuggly and affectionate in his slightly drunk state.

His arms were around your waist and his face in your neck, rocking back and forth.

“It… isn’t your fault, love. Truly, it isn’t. Everybody makes mistakes; it’s a part of being alive.”

He pulled Simon off and let him coil up his arm.

“I talk to Simon if I’m upset and don’t want to tell Vex. Do you want to?”

If you did, he’d leave the room until you were done venting to the snake. If not, he’d drape his cloak around you and lay down, Simon still around his arm.

He would tug at your arms and waist until you laid down with him. He was used to snuggles from most of VM, but there was something much different about this one.

Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe the smell of your clothes.

Didn’t matter. He buried his face in your neck and was out cold in no time.

[sir-phillip-crane]

ok, can we talk about this shot??

if you look on the left side of her neck, theres blood in two streams in the same place we see bite scars from sylas. shes 14 in this shot and has supposedly been here for, like, a month or two.

and sylas has already bitten her. now, scars fade, but I dont think the scars we saw in the shot atop the Ziggurat were the only bite marks from him.

for those of you who have listened to the stream, Vax was pretty freaked out when he got bitten. And hes a twenty something adult. Cassandra is fourteen. shes just a kid.

and at least with vax, he had vm after it happened. he could be worried and he had support. Cassandra might have had support from percy, but he escaped soon enough. and shes left, getting captured again and no doubt being bitten again.

can we just? talk about that? how much she went through? how much worse it is when you consider that they aged her up in tlovm, and in the stream she was nine when whitestone got overthrown?

[sir-phillip-crane]

Hello! If your able to, would you do a prompt for lovm? The characters would be Percy, Vax, and Scanlan (separate) x reader(gn).

The prompt idea is that the reader has a scar on their arm somewhere and the other person accidentally grabs on that part of the arm, causing the reader to shove them away and look startled/scared for a moment. But after a second they calm down and act that it never happened and if asked by them they get unnaturally cold towards them and continue to say it didn't happen.

thanks for the request!!! requests are open and absolutely encouraged!

reblogs > likes!!!

Scanlan

The performer’s core belief is that no one should ever be ashamed of themselves, especially physical appearance- wise.

He preforms at every tavern and inn you all end up in, and he absolutely loves to drag all of you into it. He’ll coax the twins up by pitting them against each other, or Keyleth up by asking her to druidcraft something small for his performance. And you are absolutely one of VM, which makes you someone who is at the mercy of his desire for friends to join him.

It’s an insanely busy bar, rowdy, drunk off their asses customers basically throwing silver at Scanlan for another song. Vex adores what money you’ve made so far, so she’ll encourage it! Whatever the bard wants for his show, he fuckin gets.

If that includes you on stage; no isn’t an option.

Middle of one of his songs and he’s standing on the table you’re sitting at. He grabs your arm and tries to pull you up, like he’s done a million times before with most of the team.

Except, unlike the rest of the team, you pull away and practically jump out of your skin. He’s seen the scars but had pretty much ignored them up until now.

He’ll try to wrap it up, which does take a while because Vex basically refuses to let him stop.

By the time he wraps up the performance, all of VM, including yourself, are tired af.

So, it isn’t until the next morning he brings it up. He tries to get you to talk to him about it – despite his usual flirtiness and general chaotic air, he’s just worried about you.

You basically insist that it didn’t happen. Again, and again, and again.

Scanlan himself is smart enough, sometimes, to just drop it. You act rude and cold and he’s not used to it, so he drops it.

That being said, if you want to ever tell him, he’s there to listen and try to make jokes to lighten the mood.

Percy von keysmash

Percy is definitely not somebody who is going to grab at any of VM, even if they’re his family at his point. After what he and Cassandra went through – abused and tortured at the hands of the Briarwoods – he knows what it’s like to not enjoy being touched.

Hell, first time he touched Cassandra without warning, she went catatonic for ten minutes.

If Vex or Keyleth or Scanlan or any of the team wants to grab him, eh, he doesn’t like it, but he’ll let it happen.

But things go the way they do, and it’s life or death.

Percy acts quicker than he thinks, and when one of Vex’s arrows goes astray, he grabs your wrist and pulls you out of the way just in time for it to nick you in the shoulder instead of right in your chest.

When you react by pulling away, looking at him like he’s the enemy, he knows something’s wrong.

But it’s the middle of a fight and he couldn’t care less at the moment.

However, after the fight, when the team is sitting and kicking their wounds, he’ll approach you and ask what’s going on.

He… well, he expected you to avoid the question. God knows he’s reacted the same when asked about the Briarwoods and his family and Orthrax and- all of it.

He just nods and will sit next to you, share some rations, and call Pike or Kiki over for some healing.

If you ever want to tell him about it, that’s good. If you don’t, that’s good too. You’re still his family and he loves you.

Vax’ildan

Vax definitely saw your scars at some point, but pretty quickly dismissed it. He had plenty of scars on his hands and wrists from when he was first learning to use knives (or, admittedly, picking fights with his deadbeat father).

He knows Vex has some too from mishaps from archery practice.

Once, he had almost stabbed himself in the eye. He didn’t find it funny then, but he does now.

So, honestly, he hadn’t thought much of it.

That is, until he offhandedly grabbed your arm. You had immediately pulled away from him.

He was a bit taken aback, but, eh, okay. Sometimes scars feel weird when they’re touched.

“Sorry, darlin. My nerves are fried right here,” and he will show off his dagger cuts, “I get it.”

Truly, to him, all it is are scars. He’ll gladly show off some of his and make up grandiose stories about them.

Stories about them that were immediately debunked by Vex yelling “that’s a lie!”

He won’t touch your arm again, but he’ll gladly offer up some bandages or dressings if you’d like to cover your scars.

He might prompt you a little bit about them, but if you don’t want to talk about it and make it obvious that you don’t want to, then he won’t ask again.

Vex’ahlia • Vex had never anticipated falling in love with you, but as it happened, as she realized her feelings… she wasn’t mad about it. Vax absolutely teased her to no end about her crush, but at the end of the day, he was just happy that Vex found someone else who loved her as much as he did. • You’re her partner; she absolutely adores you. • She’s probably one of the least shy of VM; she confessed her feelings a little while after she told Vax about them. It was over a nice dinner where she spared no expense. You want the fancy ass dessert? Let’s share it. • Her shows of affection started basically right after she confessed. Grabbing your hands while traveling to press kisses to your knuckles. Arms around your waist as you fix a meal for VM. Sweet whispered nothings that would make most of the party gag if they heard (and prompt a sex joke or two from Scanlan). • The room arrangements change pretty quickly; Vax now bunking with Scanlan and Keyleth and you and Vex in the same bed. • She’s always been a wake up first kinda gal, her and Vax trying to ‘beat’ each other to waking up. If you’re like her and she happens to wake up first, she’ll pepper your face and neck with kisses until you wake up. If you hate every single thing in the morning and would probably kill someone who woke you up, she’ll lay in bed, spooning you from behind with her head in the nape of your neck. • Whenever she gets the chance around the keep, she’ll kiss any part of you she can – forehead, cheek, shoulder, so on. • She absolutely adores you and makes it clear through her words and actions often.

Keyleth • She’s incredibly shy about her feelings at first. There’s so much VM has to do and so much on her shoulders. She’s supposed to complete her Aramente and lead the Ashari and- • But then there’s you. And you’re sweet and charming and she felt she shouldn’t be worried at all about feelings and such but she is. • Do you like her back?? Does she actually like you or does she like the attention?? • It isn’t too long before Keyleth realizes that, nope, she has a lot of feelings for you. They’re legitimate and she can’t ignore them. • She’ll end up with some advice from Scanlan about wooing someone. And sweet, innocent girl she is – she definitely won’t follow it. It’s horny and weird and she’s not that. • Instead, she druid crafts you a bouquet of flowers in your favorite color. (red; https://www.pinterest.com/pin/344384702768635616/ . Orange; https://www.pinterest.com/pin/70439181664602593/ . Green; https://www.pinterest.com/pin/903886587686860156/ . Blue; https://www.pinterest.com/pin/155303887491657834/ . Purple; https://budget-bride.com/products/mila-collection-2017228-20-280?variant=42995462242537&F66=Just+Like+The+Picture .) • She’ll try to woo you as much as she possibly can – flowers, notes, just about anything she can in hopes of making sure you like her back. • After she finally realizes that you do like her back, every day is spent as close to you as possible. She absolutely adores snuggling whenever she can, holding hands while traveling, curling up besides you as Minxie when she’s decided she just doesn’t have the social energy. • She loves to kiss the inside of your wrist when she gets the chance, because that also leads to you holding her face and nuzzling. • All in all, she’s not too strong, but still wraps her arms around your waist and tries to pick you up – usually doesn’t work. That is, unless she gets teased by some of the other party and will use some vines to pick you up.

Pike • Pike was always a sweetheart to you, more so than she was to everybody else. • She’s pretty straightforward about her feelings. It takes her a little while to fully come to terms – she talks to Grog and Serenae about it and gets some advice that she decides probably isn’t the best approach. • It’s quick that she establishes her relationship with you, both verbally and symbolically. She’ll tell anybody she sees eyeing you “I know – isn’t my partner just stunning?” then plant a kiss on your hand and tug you away, smiling just a bitttt smugly. • She’s a bit too short to hug you from behind without putting her head in the small of your back or, if you’re taller, on your ass – so she tries not to do that. • With that said, if you’re sitting in in the cart while traveling or around the keep, she’ll sit behind you and wrap her arms around you and rest her chin on your shoulder, asking what you’re doing and if you want company. • She’ll always always always kiss your hands whenever she gets the chance, it’s a lot easier than trying to reach your face. • However! She’s Pike! She’s gonna get there if she wants to. • And she’ll do that however she has to, most often, climbing on furniture or the other members of VM to get to your face. • When she goes, she presses her nose to yours and grins, softly greeting you with a “hi, baby.” • Often, Vex or Percy will tell her to ‘stop standing on the damn table, that’s where we eat!’ so she does so by wrapping her arms around your neck and saying in the sweetest voice she can possibly muster “pick me up, hon???”

Cassandra • Straight up: Cassandra is so damn starved of love and affection that she’s shocked when you start showing affection towards her. • She’s quite skittish, so it does take a little while for her to settle into a position where you can kiss her without warning and she doesn’t flinch. • She’s suffered a lot and it led to her being defensive and unsure about letting strangers in. Then again, who isn’t a stranger anymore? Even her brother is… • She’s the only one that you would have to work for the affection of. • That being said, it’s absolutely worth it when you earn that affection. • You’re the person she goes to after meetings to bitch about nobles from other cities. You’re the first person she wants opinions from on passing laws and societal changes that she can control. So on and so forth. • She’s not quite at a point where she initiates physical contact that is as straightforward as hugs or kisses, but she will set her hands on your knees if you attend meetings alongside her. • If she’s feeling confident enough, she will absolutely kiss your forehead as she walks by or let her hands linger on the small of your back. • Once or twice in a blue moon, when she wakes up insanely drowsy and out of it, she will come up to wherever you are and snake her arms around your waist and hide her face in your neck – usually dozing back off. • She’s pretty tiny and easy to pick up and carry back to bed. She’s less than 100 pounds. Truly, not hard in the slightest.

finding more critical role blogs is the best, can I ask vax headcanon trying to get the attention of his crush, being helped by a very funny vex? Male reader if possible

this is really short im so sorry darlin,,,

REBLOGS > LIKES

Vax’ildan

The twins are so in sync, it’s horrifying sometimes.

Not to be gross, but Vax knows what day Vex’s period starts and meets it with pastries and piles of blankets. No adventuring for them that week!!

With that said, it’s no wonder Vex notices almost immediately her brother has a crush.

A crush? A crush! A crush!!! Her life has meaning again!!

She must absolutely shove her way into his personal life. That’s the code!

Vax absolutely was Not going to ask his sister for help, but it’s Vex and Vax, and of course they’re gonna work together.

Vax is a gentleman; he’ll have Kiki grow a bouquet, Scanlan play some romantic music that, hopefully, will not be a cacophony of sex jokes, and so on.

But… But he’s Vax. He is gonna try as hard as possible, and in the process, probably mess up a little bit.

More than a little bit.

He’s coming to your room in the keep with champagne and flowers. And he knocks on your door, smiling, greeting you with “hey there, peach.”

You invite him in and he is absolutely ready to try and woo you. He’s Vax, he can absolutely sweep anyone he wants off their feet.

Or, in this case, knock him off his feet.

He trips, topples into you, absolutely spilling champagne all over you, and causing you both to fall over.

Vex is watching from the hallway with Percy, and there’s just a soft, rather annoyed, “oh Gods, even I thought he had more game than that.”

anons contribution!!
