BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD! Once you are given this award you're supposed to paste it in the asks of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing happens, but it's sweet to know someone thinks you're beautiful inside and out 🩵
The anti semetic joke got edited out after the backlash, i believe there are still screenshots of it being shared around. Hussie is out publicly as nonbinary and has been for a while, using any/all pronouns. Im sorry if i came across as aggressive in my initial ask! Im just very frustrated to see the way fans are responding to what (imo) is a bad faith callout. Im not trying to defend hussie and dont even necessarily disbelieve what gio is saying, i just think that he is using this to his advantage, especially since its also since come out that the unofficial homestuck collection is still available for download. Also since then there have been multiple people mentioned in gios article as proof who have come out stating that some of the stuff in it is false. I dont have the link to that post though but i believe you can find a lot of the stuff im mentioning on tumbler user nekropsii’s account
Ah, that would make sense as to why I did not see it!
You weren’t aggressive by any means, but things can come across differently through texts/words on the internet etc. and I just wanted to make sure!
I did not know that about AH, thank you for telling me. I removed my post where I referred to her as a man, my sincerest apologies.
Now if I were to go back and read it knowing that, I can easily tell how pointed many of the things Gio was saying towards them.
AH is not a saint by any means but now that I’ve seen more about this situation, there’s definitely more going on, especially with others coming about things being false within the article.
Once again, thank you for reaching out and speaking to me about this, and I’ll definitely check out the blog mentioned!
Nah, it’s all good! Having different Headcanons and talking about them with people is the fun of fandom stuff <3. (Tbh I was also in a super angsty mood lol)
I will admit I kinda projected my own upbringing onto Leon and if he had kids. (I’m AFAB and there was a massive difference in how my dad raised me vs my brothers).
But Leon would definitely love his kids with every known cell in his body. Also dad jokes. He’s a dweeb. So…dad jokes.
Yeah that’s very true :) but so real, my mind goes in all sorts of directions when my mood changes
I grew up without a father and so I didn’t have that experience, but it’s always so interesting to see how some of our headcanons are reflected through the experiences we ourselves have gone through (ex. my hc of Leon being southern to me due to my upbringing in the Deep South)
Omg yes, he would be so doting on his children… they could get him to do anything for them 😭 but LMFAO yes they would have to suffer through his dad jokes in return!
We already know Leon is corny as hell so I just see the dial turning up to 100 on his horridly bad jokes once your kids are around!
An absolute dweeb who deserves a peaceful, quiet life with his family ♡
I personally see Leon having a son and a daughter. We all know he’s wrapped around his daughter’s fingers. So I won’t go into detail with her.
But I see Leon being unintentionally very hard on his son.
Leon knows how fucked the world is. He knows just how dangerous everything is, and while he wants to protect his daughter from it, he wants to prepare his son to handle it.
Leon’s a protector. A warrior. And he wants to instill that same ethic into his son.
He doesn’t do it out of misogyny. Not at all. He knows if she wanted to, his daughter could take on the world. But there’s just something different about his daughter facing such danger vs his son.
If his son is the oldest sibling, it’s even worse. Leon unintentionally goes damn near military on him. Leon sees it as making sure he’s disciplined, hardworking, and a good man. But at the cost of Leon’s son feeling like he’ll never be good enough in the eyes of his father.
Until it all explodes. Maybe it’s when his son is a teenager. His boy breaks down finally and Leon sees the worst thing he ever could. Leon sees himself in his son. The exhaustion. The depression. And Leon *hates* himself for what he did to his boy.
Even taking the steps to undo what’s been done, with therapy and time, Leon despises himself for what he did. He cries one night after his son had a full on panic attack over a C on an exam.
Yea, his son has become hardworking, driven, intelligent…but his son also became anxious, depressed and exhausted.
But Leon loves his kids. He loves his family with every fiber and cell in his body. So he puts in the work to change. He apologizes properly. Hugs his darling little boy and doesn’t let go. He changed his habits. His thought process. He does everything to help break his son out of his unintentional conditioning. It takes time, Leon isn’t perfect. But damnit, he tries his best.
It takes time, but Leon and his son repair the damage and become extremely close. Like, never could be closer type of close. when Leon’s a grandpa, his son is gonna hand him his own grandkid with the middle name ‘Leon’ type of close.
You sent this in a bit ago but I’ve been sitting with it, my apologies. I’ve been trying to see it from your perspective and I’ll have to say, this is one headcanon we don’t share.
But I did agree with the part that Leon knows the world is fucked, how dangerous it is, and with what he went through? The training he had to endure, what the government did to him. I feel like in turn, he would be soft to his children, and would do so regardless of gender.
Though, I do see this through the lenses of being trans, and I feel like if Leon did have a partner like someone like myself, he wouldn’t push those gender stereotypes onto his kids.
Leon’s been through so many things, I think he would have a lot of anxiety about how he’s treating them. Like you said, he knows he isn’t perfect, so he would wonder if he’s doing a good job, raising them well and making sure they’re protected, but can keep themselves safe, too. He would lay awake many nights picking apart his interactions with them.
He would absolutely train any of them to defend themselves, using different types of methods and weapons. He wouldn’t go into detail with them about his job for the obvious reasons, so they would probably be like ??? At his defensiveness, lol.
He would write it off as being prepared for any and all things, no matter what. He may mention some things he saw on the news for his actions, saying “Look, kids. I just want you to be ready for anything, you never know.”
He would be so close to his children. After being away on missions, he would spend every waking moment of his time with his family. Outings and vacations, doing whatever they want; as long as he gets to create memories with them, ones he wasn’t able to have with his own parents.
Though I do see his kids helping him grow regardless, making him more optimistic about the future, about life. I also agree with the part where you said Leon loves his family with every fiber of his being. You and your children would be the ones that keep him going, head held high and fighting like hell to get back to ya’ll.
I know this probably wasn’t what you were expecting from me, sorry if this is a bit disappointing, but this is my take on it! Once again, sorry about the delay in this (and the other anons, I’m still trying to get back into the swing of things).
I saw the other anons ask sayin that Leon would want to settle down and you saying smth about h8k being protective with his daughter? What do you think would he do when a boy breaks his princess' heart? It would be so funny because he's dealt with lots of bad things and now boys are his no. 1 problems 😭
RAHHHHH BANGING MY FISTS ON THE TABLE such a complete 180° from the last anon and I’m so excited to write this up hehehe
Reader is gender neutral
Leon is a special government agent, so of course he has connections, and with those connections, he has a lot of information at his fingertips. He can easily look into someone’s history or records.
Which includes anyone who interacts with his daughter. Be that crushes or friends, he’ll ask her for their names and being Leon… he’ll do a little bit of digging. Just a small check of their backgrounds, scoping out their families. Nothing too wild.
It’s honestly a good things he does this, it helps him sleep easier at night knowing the ones that his daughter has grown close to are not there for nefarious reasons or to use her as leverage against him.
Now when it comes to relationships/her being heartbroken?
Leon would find her sobbing one day, her face red and splotchy. His heart would seize in his chest, and he’d rush over to her and fire off a hundred questions, holding her close. She’d tell him all that’s happened, confiding in you and Leon easily and without hesitation.
She had told her crush how she felt, and said crush not only turned her down but laughed at her confession. The rage would simmer in Leon’s body but he would keep his composure, knowing these are teenagers he’s dealing with and is a disheartening part of life.
He’d rub her back and let her cry into him, frustrated and apologizing that he cannot do more.
Then, an idea.
“Hey, bug, why don’t we go to the store, get some snacks, and we can all watch your favorite movie together, yeah?“ he suggests, pulling her away and wiping her tears from her face.
She gives a small smile and nods, sniffling. “Yeah, that’d be cool.” He nods, grinning down at her and helping her to her feet, before making his way through the house to explain what’s happened.
Your heart aches for your child, finding her and pulling her into an embrace. Once you’ve doted on her yourself, the three of you make the trip to the store, grabbing all sorts of confections.
Once home, you settle on the couch, your daughter between the two of you, and let her pick out her choice of media. She settles on a funny, light-hearted one.
About half way into the movie, you began to hear light snoring. Looking over to see your daughter’s head resting against Leon’s arm.
Your eyes meet and you grin at each other. You pick up the remote and pause the movie, and Leon slowly maneuvers her onto his lap before standing up and carrying her to her bedroom.
You follow behind, heart warming at the sight of them. She’ll never be too old to be his little girl. Never too old to have her scrapes and bruises kissed and bandaged.
After Leon tucks her into her bed and her door is shut, he pulls you into an embrace, kissing the top of your head.
“Let’s plan something fun for the weekend, I don’t have to be at work until Tuesday,” he whispers against your hair while stroking your back.
Enthusiastically you agree, wrapping your arms around his frame, excited for the plans ahead with the people you love most in your life.
Ok so I wanted to add to that anon. Personally, I’d see that Leon scrambles for answers. He tries to keep himself together. He really does. But as time goes on and he bottles and bottles, he just breaks.
I’m talking he has been at 99 for a long time, but he did well hiding it so everyone sees him at like 20-40 before he hits 100. When he hits 100?
Catatonic. He becomes still from the depression, the trauma and the exhaustion. He might repeat words spoken to him but that’s not *Leon*. He’s completely shut down. His brain physically can’t handle it anymore and goes into a literal crash/power down mode.
The other problem is that he’s extremely vulnerable in this state. So his anxiety is sky high. It’s just he’s unable to react to the world properly. He’s frozen and he’s scared.
If he has an s/o or friend or something, they’ll need to step up and make sure he’s at least drinking water. And they’ll need to be close by when Leon manages to get out of his catatonic state. One of the rare times he’s cry is ‘waking up’ from catatonia.
Content warnings: discussion of mental illness and disordered behavior. This may be distressing for some, you have been forewarned.
Apologies for the delay in this one but I saw this when it was first sent in and…It made me so sad I teared up. Just thinking of him isolating and closing himself to all who care for him... (I had to write a scene to make me feel better because this about did me in.)
He would be hanging on by a literal thread for years and try everything he can find in books and online until that one time that just unravels it all. He’ll know he’s on the verge, he wouldn’t know what would exactly happen but, to be sure, he’d cease all contact with anyone and take PTO.
It would be very hard to reach him in that state once things fall apart, it would send his friends into a panic because they would have no idea what’s happened to him.
Thankfully you would have a spare key to his place and you would wait until your nerves are absolutely frayed before you go and let yourself in. You’ll respect his privacy until it gets to the point that you’re worrying for his safety. Afraid of what he may have done to himself.
Bracing yourself for what you might find, thankfully you find him on the couch, alive though disheveled, staring at the ceiling. Approaching him cautiously, you softly speak his name. The sound of your voice has him lurching upwards, gasping in surprise at your presence.
He hadn’t heard you come in. You knew then that something was gravely amiss.
You stare at each other for a tense moment before he crumbles.
Head in his hands, sobs releasing tremors through his body. You rush around the side of the couch and pull him into your arms. You rock back and forth with a gentle rhythm, his form abuts yours. No words exchanged between the two of you, Leon’s mouth wouldn’t have been able to form sentences at that moment, regardless.
The sour scent of body odor would not be subtle, his hair oily from lack of care. You don’t care, you’re actually glad to smell it, to feel his body sagging against yours, the dirty locks pressed against your cheek. None of that matters, what does is that he’s breathing.
You’re not sure what’s happened, uncertain you can fathom what he’s been going through. The knowledge of his job leaving him battered and bruised, some days where he’s bed ridden in recovery is brought to the forefront of your mind.
You’ve pulled him closer as your thoughts run rampant, and his hands move. Away from his face, he embraces you and pulls even more. Your bodies would fuse together if there was any more grasping to be done.
Leon tries to find words, though they’re not much other than soft murmurs, which is stopped with a “Shh,” and a caressing of his back.
“Don’t need to speak, s’alright. I’m not going anywhere,” whispered against his head.
None else needs to be spoken. They’ll be time to listen, to speak once more once he’s convalescent.
He lets you guide him through the space. Even with his mind muddled, he knows you mean the best.
The lights remain off to beget as little distress as possible. Your mind knows the geography of his home, letting your body usher the two through the darkness, to his room.
You help him find purchase against the bed, and once settled, your bodies coalescence.
The day and time are lost to you as Leon is enfolded against your self. You will give him all that he needs.
