[illloveyoutillidie]

Hello:))) been reading ur newt hcs and absolutely adored them YOU WRITE HIM SO SWEET. But i was wondering if you would do newt cuddling hcs with a f!reader please? (I haven’t requested for you before so if this isn't the type of thing you do just delete this lol)

thanks<3

hello anon!! i'm happy you like those!! i think that newt is the type of person that treats their s/o gentle !! i hope you like this:))))

Newt who can't keep his hands to himself when you're both cuddling. Newt who would pull you into his chest with your back against him so he can kiss your neck. Newt who would put his arm around your waist just to touch you. Newt who would be crazy and rambles whenever he sees you wear his shirts to cuddle or sleep (and when you ask him why, he says "you look hot- i mean beautiful, wait i didn't mean it like your not hot, cause you are hot, i mean- your hot- wait that's not the point- but you look bloody amazing with my shirt"). Newt who can't sleep without you in his arms. Newt who would be very clingy and glued to you when both of you are alone (he's starved for your attention and affection). Newt who doesn't have a 'favourite cuddle position' but he loves it so much when you rest your head on his chest and just lay there. Newt who runs his fingers through your hair and leave a bunch of kisses all over your face whenever he gets the chance. Newt who sometimes wander his hands underneath your shirt (with consent of course) and he just trace circles all over your skin. Newt who sometimes would just lay in your arms tiredly because he’s exhaused from doing all work, helping around the glade, and having many meetings with Alby and the runners(he's a busy man). Newt who would smell a little more earthy when you guys are cuddling before shower. Newt who prefers to cuddle after shower because he thinks you'll like him more if he smells 'sweet like a candy' when you're both cuddling (he used your soap and shampoo because he said it made him "smell like sweets and vanilla" lol ). Newt who would sleep with you with hardly any space between each other. Newt who loves it when you bury your face in his neck and when you play with his hair. Newt who will always pull you back onto the bed and back into his arms if you try to leave or stop cuddling. ("Newt we have to get up! Alby will be mad at us-" "2 more minutes, please love? i'm sure Alby will be fine without me" "Newt, you said that 20 minutes ago."). Newt who doesn't mind being a big spoon or the little spoon when you're both cuddling. Newt who likes it when his arms are securely around your waist & his face in your hair when he's being the big spoon. Newt's arms will be the place you wake up every morning. Newt who would ask if he can play with your hair every time you're both cuddling (he wants to make sure you're giving him consent even tho you've reassured him that he doesn't need to ask that). Newt who would randomly compliment you when your almost asleep ("your so beautiful. like really bloody beautiful, love"). Newt who would sometimes talk in his sleeps because he gets nightmares when he's cuddling you ("please stay, please. don't go. stay with me." "i'm not going anywhere love"). Newt who would easily get sleepy when you run your hands through his hair. Newt who would fall asleep on top of you, then wakes up only to ask if you're okay, if he made you uncomfortable, and why didn’t you wake him up in his raspy sleepy voice. Newt who would have a staring contest with you and then make stupid faces so you laugh and he wins the contest (later on he tease you about it). Newt who would stay up with you and just have deep conversations as you both cuddle when you can't sleep ("why do people has to lose the person they love first, to realize they're bloody value and worth? doesn't make sense, what do you think?").

I GOT SO CARRIED AWAY MAKING THIS, IT TURNED OUT SO LONGGGG. I'M SORRY IF THIS IS TOO LONG FOR YOU

[heliads]

requesting a tmr newt x gn!oblivious!reader, (they're still in the glade) where newt would be showing like tons of affection to reader(acts of service or others u prefer) but reader thinks newt is just being all friendly to them—maybe during a bonfire night he drunkenly confesses to them and they're like 'haha..wait what?' n end it w fluff:) idk like this is my first time requesting smt😞😞

See, it really isn’t your fault that you didn’t notice Newt was in love with you

He’s nice to everybody, how could you be the exception?

Except, when Newt is nice to others, it’s usually asking them how they’re doing, or telling Gally or Alby to back off for a while

When Newt is nice to you– well, that’s a whole other situation

He brings a glass of water across the whole Glade because you mentioned you were thirsty once

Shiver by accident? His jacket is already around you

Minho jokes that Newt would become a Builder if you asked, and judging by the way the blond keeps asking if the Homestead is to your liking, he might not even be wrong about that

It takes dire circumstances for you to finally realize that Newt isn’t just being friendly because he wants to be your friend

Namely, plenty of alcohol and an extra special Bonfire Night

Forget the Greenie who brought on the bonfire in the first place, this isn’t about him

Newt knew this was his chance, although he didn’t expect to finally tell you his greatest secret by blurting out that he loved you four drinks in

At first, you thought he was joking– boy could hardly stand on two feet, let alone say something like that and mean it

But, as you looked in his eyes, you realized that this wasn’t just a figment of his sloshed brain

Newt was in love with you. Maybe always had been. Maybe always would be

And you? You loved him too

Newt woke up the next morning with a pounding headache and your hand in his

The headache was nothing, he had you, and that’s all Newt cared about

self indulgent newt headcanons based in various AUs that are basically me just projecting because i love him and hes me and all of this is in my head anyway:

-newt would listen to dad rock and be really annoying about it. he’s breaking it down to “love her madly” by the doors and if you ask what band it is he incredulously yells “YOU DONT KNOW THE DOORS ???”

-i like to think that the gladers all joke about how you can get away with everything around newt as long as you do it quietly, because he has really poor eyesight but WICKED just never checked him out or gave him glasses

-highschool newt would complain about how media literacy is dying out every single time someone asks a dumb question about a book theyre reading in english class

-i do kinda think newt would be more prone to developing addictions. modern newt probably smokes like a chimney and everytime someone asks he goes on an angry rant about how smoking is the worst and how cigarette companies need to be nuked

Headcanons

Recovery, Post death-cure, safe haven

(I’m sorry in advance)

Tw: depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts/attempts, self harm, panic attacks etc

Thomas

- This man has some extreme survivors guilt from everything.

- He gets flashbacks, especially in dreams, of him working with WICKED, helping them build the maze and having to watch his friends through the beetle blades.

- He feels responsible for everything his friends went through in the glade and for not trying harder to help them (even though the others have continuously told him that they don’t blame him and it wasn’t his fault).

- Even through the scorch, he feels guilty for not doing more to help because if he had only acted faster, they might not be there at all.

- He sometimes has panic attacks because of this and on the worst days he wishes he could have died instead of his friends because he feels like their deaths were his fault.

- Occasionally he turns to self harm, believing that he deserved to feel the pain he put his friends to.

- Newt found him once with the knife in his hand and immediately stopped him, cleaning the cuts and making Thomas promise never to do it again because nothing was his fault and he doesn’t deserve to feel pain.

- Newt then makes it a regular occurrence to draw little butterflies on Thomas’s wrist and arms (iykyk)

- Newt got really worried the first time Thomas had a panic attack in front of him because he didn’t really know what to do to help but he slowly figured out little ways to calm him down.

- Taking him to a quiet, familiar place, helping him breathe, making him tea and cuddling up with a blanket and a movie on in the background

Newt

- I think I already covered this in another post but being sick is a huge trigger for Newt. He gets super edgy and Thomas can tell. He continuously checks his arms just in case the veins are black

- I’m convinced he’s got Emetophobia (fear of throwing up) because it triggers memories of when he had the flare and he felt nauseous all the time.

- His immune system is weaker than everyone else’s so he gets sick a lot more often than the others and even a simple cold would have him shivering in bed all day with tea and five blankets

- Newt also doesn’t like to acknowledge the fact that he’s sick because he doesn’t want people fussing over him and asking him if he’s okay so he will just say ‘I’m fine’ as he’s actively throwing up.

- He usually distances himself whenever he’s ill because he’s scared that he’s not cured and is going to snap and hurt someone but Thomas isn’t having it.

- Thomas will wrap him up in a blanket and hug him until Newt stops struggling to get away and melts into a little shivery puddle in Thomas’s arms

- Once he’s finally accepted that he is ill, Newt becomes very very clingy towards Thomas and stays in bed all day with tea and a hot water bottle

- I also think Newt and Brenda would be really good friends in the safe haven because they’ve both had the flare before (obviously Brenda was cured relatively quickly but still) so they can relate to each other and Newt sometimes feels like Brenda’s the only one who really knows what he went through, so he talks to her about it when he doesn’t want to go vent to Thomas or Minho

- He has a lot of nightmares from when he was a crank, often dreaming that he had died or else had cracked and hurt someone and more than once has woken up screaming with tears in his eyes and blood in his mouth because he bit his tongue so hard.

- His broken leg gets better over time but it never fully heals. Jorge told him that he should really be using a cane or a crutch but Newt done right refuses either because he hates people making a fuss over it and he will still work even if the pain is so bad he literally has to hop around (Thomas isn’t having this either and drags Newt to bed and massages his leg for him)

- Newt still had suicidal thoughts. They aren’t as strong as they were in the glade and he doesn’t seriously consider trying anything but it’s always in the back of him mind. Thomas is the one who gets him his little safety pin necklace because he knows it’s something Newt struggles with ( and yes Newt did cry when Thomas gave it to him. Tell me I’m wrong)

I will do Minho, Gally, and everyone else but I’m splitting it up into different posts just so y’all aren’t waiting forever <33

newt's leg headcanons

(as someone who also walks with a limp)

on occasion he is completely out of commission for the day (which is understandable, except for the fact that he's usually faking the pain level because he has a high pain tolerance - he just doesn't want to work)

he used to have a cane that he fashioned out of a tree branch but eventually got sick of it because he didn't want to have to depend on a big stick anymore

back when he did use the cane, he used to whack other kids in the backs of the knees when they pissed him off

plays the disability card 24/7 in order to steal other boys' seats

is generally surprised that he only has one bum leg

alby patrols him to make sure he's not overstressing his leg

doesn't sleep in the homestead majority of the time and goes in there as little as possible because there are stairs in there and he'd rather demolish his other leg than have to go up and down stairs every day

⤷ female, ambiguous race, and any size reader. Requests are open, thank you for reading!  

ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ    

𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿  

⭑ You had come up with the supplies, dazed, soaking wet and scared. You couldn’t hear anything except the whirring of the machine, the snorting of pigs and some sort of rustling. 

⭑ Your memory had been completely wiped, and no matter how hard you tried - you just couldn’t remember ... anything. Not your name, not your family, not even your favourite food. 

⭑ Newt had been the second face you saw, the first being Gally, who had helped you get out of the square container. 

⭑ You were breathless, and completely and utterly confused. Where were you? Why were you here? There were no other girls, which made your anxiety worsen. 

⭑ But Newt made everything okay, Alby explained everything he could and answered your questions to the best of his ability. He didn’t know much either. Nothing except the glade. 

⭑ It took you a few days to calm down. Nothing made sense. You were able to talk, you knew words and sentences, and how to do things. But you still didn’t know your name. 

⭑ So everyone called you ‘Red’ because of how red you became when you blushed, or when you worked too hard or got too hot. Your cheeks would become red, and so would your neck. 

⭑ Newt took a liking to you. You were always honest, genuine and hard-working. 

⭑ Alby took you around to the different jobs, since everyone needed to help out. 

⭑ You spent a day as a builder, with Gally showing you the ins and outs. It was a lot of heavy lifting, making sure you didn’t hurt yourself with the hammer and trying to show that you could keep up. 

⭑ After the two weeks of job-jumping, you finally settled on being a medjack. You could handle blood, wounds, and sickness. 

⭑ WCKED sends up bottles and balms. The basics that help you get started on healing tinctures and salves. 

⭑ You’ve sewed up cuts, aided headaches, and those not able to sleep. The information had appeared out of nowhere? Or was it something that you had known before ... it must have been? Or if WCKED could take information, were they able to implant new ones? 

⭑ You quickly climbed the ranks, not meaning to, but soon you were voted in as the Keeper of the Medjacks. 

⭑ Newt was proud of you, but it meant that more boys would go to you for help. 

⭑ So he made it his duty to see you every day ... in the medjack tent ... 

⭑ He showed up with cuts; little slices that barely bled, bruises that he ‘worried’ about, and aches that he said only you could help. 

⭑ “Newt, I know you aren’t actually hurt,” you stated, wiping his wound clean. 

⭑ “No love, I need medical attention.” 

⭑ All you could do was roll your eyes

in need of college au tmr headcanons

does anyone here have any college au tmr headcanons or fics? pls recommend something because i'm struggling finding headcanons here on tumblr rn ;u;

[sehnsuchts-trunken]

Hi!! I saw you opened up requests so obviously here I am!!

I would love to see some headcanons about what would’ve happened if Newt had survived in tmr, bc I’m forever going to be in denial about death cure lmao

ah. this. rightttt let's just quickly establish that i've completely been ignoring that that part happens- so there's a high chance i'll cry but let's go!!

triggerwarnings: talk of death and depression and both major/minor injury, spoilers for death cure, this is sad so brace yourself 

- The Ivy Trio would be t h r i v i n g I'm telling you. Certainly they still are sorrowful, they still are sad, they mourn the losses and the dead, but they are also absolutely partying. They somehow never get too annoyed by each other either. Like sure, Thomas is a bit too daring and too naive, Minho is a pain in the ass with his sarcasm and his confidence and Newt has to keep up with their shit all the time, but they're all alive and well and they're not dumb enough to let any fight destroy the friendship they built as they went through, well, all that happened.

- Newt would be the first one to re-bond with Gally, I believe. Not that the other two don't - especially Minho has been a friend of him in the maze anyway, so they do reconnect. But Thomas takes a loooooong time to do so and basically needs a lifetime to stand being in the same room as him without Chuck's death flashing before his eyes and getting the urge to kill him. Newt though, while Thomas cannot convince himself that all that happened was because WICKED was controlling Gally, knows that very well; and since he's experienced what it's like to lose control, he's absolutely trying to rebuild that friendship with Gally.

i’m also pretty sure that they become each other's therapists because they went through a quite similar thing

- Newt needs his time to recover of course, and he does change, even if sometimes that's not visible. Once they reach the Safe Haven, once he's treated and well again, he's someone else despite being himself again (Minho goes through the same). He takes a long time to smile again even when all the others have done so, and it's quite hard to make him smile ever again. Not that he doesn't, oh, he does. But it's never the same smile that he's had in the maze.

- Despite all that, he adapts again. His limp is more apparent now and stays that way, because he does not hide it and does not see it as the inconvenience he'd convinced himself it was before. He takes it as a reminder of what they went through, of what he went through, to never forget that and to never forget what they survived.

- Thomas sleeps in the same room as him. It's not because there isn't enough space for everybody, but he simply can't sleep on his own anymore. He has horrible nightmares and often wakes up drenched in sweat and sometimes even screaming, and the only way to get him to calm down again is when he sees someone else with him, so Thomas just shares a room with him. It did take quite some time for him to convince Newt that he's not doing it out of pity (because after all Newt does not want to be a liability), but they end up sorting it out and doing it that way.

- When Minho gives Thomas Newt's necklace and he reads the letter, they all cry. All of them. Thomas cries reading it and Minho sobs when Thomas hands it to him, and since Newt knows well what he's written, tears also slip down his cheeks. It's both a sad and a very... hopeful moment, in a way. There's no shame, only utter happiness that they've all come to this very point, that they've survived it and that they're still here. Thomas keeps the letter. He asks Newt if he wants to keep it, but Newt says that he couldn't bear it, so Thomas does. Neither of them read it ever again, but the fact that it's there reminds them as much of everything they've gone through as if they did.

and also because i want to end this on a happier note:

- Newt absolutely loves the sea. He takes hour-long walks on the beach and is about the first one to explore it further. He often sits and stares out at the endless water and the sky, thinking about everything and anything that comes to his mind. Even though he mostly goes alone, especially in the beginning he's often joined by Thomas and Minho and even Gally. Sometimes he meets Frypan sitting there, too, so they sit there in silence. It's peaceful for him. He's thought of places like these in the maze, and now that he's here, he thinks of the maze. And after all, the only thing that he cannot figure out and never will is which of those places was the better one.
