Man, I think I've got a concept I wanna lay on you, specifically. How do you think our canon clowns would feel watching a human deal with rage the way humans do? Not like in a hurtful way, just- letting off some anger steam in a healthy directed way. Ex: what's effective for lots of ppl is to scream into pillows & smack them around on the bed or floor- or immediately turn heel and go exercise like *right now*. Some even go to their car to yell. It'd prolly seem overly disciplined or just asinine

All of them would be some form of:

All 3 Makaras are stupefied. They understand that humans are weaker and squishier fleshbags that don’t culturally kill. But you just huff?? Scream a little???? No bottling it up?? And you let things go????? Humans are freaky. No wonder y’all never get anything done. 

Chahut is familiar with the techniques her human friend tries to teach her. But there is nothing like taking out your righteous rage on lower unsuspecting trolls. Especially if they have the same blood as the person who dared cross you in the first place. She doesn’t get how directing your anger that way is productive but to each their own.

Marvus is fascinated by the whole not bottling it up thing. He gets not outwardly showing anger. It’s part of his brand to be the hot and jolly clown man whose skin you can never get under. But even he has his limits. Ask his manager/moirail, Xadnam. He eventually just explodes and wrecks everything or makes others going into a killing frenzy with his chuckles. His preferred method (like with everything else) is chaos.

And the clownlets are self-explanatory. They’re kids with semi-under-control powers based on their emotions. Karako has even had an outburst in cannon. They see no point if the problem is still present when they’re done ‘shoving their face into a comfort rectangle’ as they put it.

Further education is not accessible to all. Due to their lifestyle it isn't deemed as necessary. The o my ones who have any form of higher education are healers, but their pupils are picked and trained from an incredibly young age. Everything else is taught and expected of young olives to know, such as hunting, carving, sowing, but those are basic necessity skills.

hi i love all your clown culture headcanons!! i don’t know if you’ve done something similar before, but could you write for human reader and just soft lovely matesprit marvus? i love some yandere every now an then as much as the next guy, but i’m really just Yearning for more soft intimate *healthy* relationship stuff🥺 (could also be nsfw)

Thank you! Clown Culture is a real treat to think about in relation to the others! And yeah I feel ya, I love writing for all the quads and versions of our favorite clown rapper so variety is always appreciated.  I did do something kind of similar way back with a post about Marvus and Makeup if you also want some HCs in relation to that. 

Now onto the headcannons! I warn you they are a bit disjointed and random. 

Marvus is a guy who is always on. From interviews, to content creating, to brand managing, etc. It’s hard for him to turn off for a few minutes. 

After you both became official though, you insisted on him turning off t a reasonable hour to hang out and better prepare for the next day. 

He could meme around on Chitter if he wanted, but he was mainly to hang out with you and calm down. 

The only way he agreed to this was if you moved in. After all, how could you know he wasn’t lying if you weren’t around? :o)

He is a borderline sugarlusus. 

Gift-giving is one of his main love languages, beaten only by touch. When you are within arms-length, expect him to be touching you in some way shape or form. 

The only time this isn’t the case is when he takes you to work with him.

He and Xadnam pretend that you are her assistant to be sure you have access to any and everywhere during shows, shoots, etc. 

He abuses this cover to make passes a you under the guise of ‘getting his money’s worth’

Examples helping him put on clothes, getting him a drink, and if you are feeling real intimate, helping put on his makeup. 

Makeup is a sacred thing to clowns. Any type of allowance to mess with or help apply makeup is automatically a red flirt. No ifs ands or buts about it. 

And it is the highest of red flirts. 

With him its very indicative that he trusts you with himself. 

He likes to have his quads paint their sign behind his ears as a silent nod to the fact that they exist, even if only he and them (maybe some of his personnel) know about it. He’ll do it himself if they’re not around and send pics to prove it. He will mess up Chahut’s to mess with her. 

You paint a heart if you’re human.

He has all kinds of subtle signs to mean various things for when you’re around and he can’t say it outloud. 

He’ll pretend to scratch the ear with your sign to say “I love you”

Play with his cane a certain way to let you know that you are totally getting reckt when what was currently happening was over.

Stuff like that

He almost always has his hair in a loose ponytail when you’re both alone. 

And lastly he likes to nibble on your shoulder to try and lightly spook you.

Man if Chahut and Marvus ever reunited with the alien, how do you think they'd react if they introduced their kid? like " here's my kid, *I* named them '__'." And they just witness this human they knew now taking on the roles of lusus and ancestor. and they're just sitting there like, you gotta be an employed adult and take care of this lil thing at the same time? Lord help you.

They first saw you off-planet again while you were staying at a base they had business on(I see them as working together as entertainment/religious solace for the clown adults when they’re older). 

They’re happy to catch up and tell you about how their lives were now that they were off-planet. 

They even tell you the news about how they’re officially pitch for each other. 

The conversation soon turns into asking what you were up to.

“Oh you know, once you have a kid-erm, wriggler, suddenly you don’t have much to talk about.”

They both simultaneously pause and look at you like you had just grown 3 heads. 

What

The human soon remembers she’s still talking to aliens at the end of the day. 

“yo stealin from a lusus iz not ok?? liek, how u even do that?”

You clarify that no, this is your own wriggler. They’re your kid. 

It takes a while but they eventually understand it by comparing yourself to a Mother Grub that the Jades take care of. Except human, no eggs and they’re born as a tiny version of you, not like grubs. 

“you’ve cerTainly goTTen up To a loT, haven’T ya?”

You agree. 

“...i wanna see ‘em”

That gives you pause. Marvus agrees. It it isn’t everyday you get a chance to meet a baby Alien.

You explain that your kid isn’t exactly a baby anymore. They’re just like new wrigglers. Small, excitable and always doing things they’re not supposed to. 

“duckmom had her wings full wiTh me Too. granTed, i was big for a wriggler.”

“lmao Homie cud barli keep me frm tryin 2 eat all tha grub in our thermal hull. weird 2 see u as a lusus tho ngl. :o)”

So despite your best efforts, you end up taking them to meet your 5 year old daughter, c/n. 

Marvus almost instantly takes to her. It’s like they speak the same language and the wholesome and drunk energy they share together is enough to make you smile. 

Chahut is more of a motherly big sister to your kid. 

Lightly guides her away from doing stupid crap and she usually listens most of the time. It makes you a little jealous.

After their inital visit, they start to visit you more to see you and c/n. Especially since you sometimes have nobody to grubsit. 

They know the feeling because of their lusii but also because wait you have to also provide? What fresh hell is that???

Marvus proclaims your daughter as his lil buddi and they get into little ‘rap’ battles here and there when he’s watching her. Basically your daughter says words on the beat and Marvus freestyles using said words. Some of those raps have even made it into his songs (with some credits to her to get you both some flow of income.

Your daughter also learns to love finger painting with Chahut and they do have little crafting sessions. This is also where your daughter learned some words like “mirthful” and “miracle”. 

You had a talk with both about not tainting your kid too early with things like sex and murder. Humans are built different and she didn’t need to start trying to get her first cull(that part was pointed more at Chahut).

They get the rules. Chahut tries her best to actually ask before doing things. Marvus is the impulsive rich uncle that almost refuses to say no.

You cannot explain the heart attack you had when he told you that he took her onstage once during a show to have a little battle. 

“i made sur evry1 wuz quiet. no worriessss y/n :o)”

They end up being like extended family for your kid, and it’s heartwarming to be reminded that it wasn’t just you two against the universe anymore.

I have a Chahut x human s/o scenario. Chahut somehow ends up crashing on Earth and wakes up to find the human patching up her injuries. The human is now trying to find a way to get her home without the government finding out about her.

So let’s just say you managed to not die by her hands when she woke up to you trying to tie her up(Bandages)

Either through yelling your use to her and convincing her that it would be easier to keep you alive than to kill you or managing to restrain her and talk sense into her(probably using her injuries against her).

She demands info almost immediately after a moment of contemplation.

There a bunch of misunderstandings, like what do you mean there isn’t one main leader over your race? You heretics don’t have different blood colors? You’re all mutants???????

She may consider culling you again.

But again, needs and not getting culled on an alien planet. 

So begins your weird relationship. Her getting used to Alien planet and learning about this weird new culture and how she needs to not leave the house when others can see her

Which by the way, not an issue. She’s nocturnal and it’s trippy that your sun doesn’t kill you in the first place. 

Its a while before anything happens between you though.

Chahut starts realizing how well you get along, when one night you’re both hunting for some spaceship parts that she was looking for. 

Whenever there was even a small chance of her getting swing happy and trying to get aggressive? You would read her mind and tell her what it probably was. Even would go check before she could voice her doubt at times. 

Later that night, you both ended up chatting about romance for both of your cultures. 

She doesn’t fully understand romance for humans and neither do you really about quadrants. 

It ends up hitting you both that dang, you really vibing with an alien. How in the world was this going to work?

This is a definite slowburn situation. Chahut is still scary and bloodthirsty and you are a little too passive for her liking at times.

But eventually, you guys start a sweet and sometimes unsure relationship. 

Its shaky as you both explore the blending of cultural ideas and what constitutes as comfortable for this new relationship as it’s not Alternian or Human fully, but you both make it through with a bunch of communication.

how much do you think the clowns mimic the behavior of the blessing over time? like, is there a big spike of it every time there's a miracle? what sort of things do they mimic? They might do behavior but i bet they'd only do that to an extent because of their place and society and culling rage. Do their values drift & expand to include some of their own? What if some of the blessing's core values were completely non-clown church related, would they just *become* clown church related? culture man

These are related enough that I’m answering both at the same time. As the blessing, you become just below the Grand Highblood in terms of holiness/popularity amongst the rest of the community. This, of course, means that they are more likely to mimic behaviors either you or he do if it seems in line with their beliefs, seems like the right way to do it, or is a very convenient way of operating. 

This manifests in a bunch of ways. If you speak another language around a good amount of them, some words could become slang for the caste. You could redefine cooking standards if you teach them enough kitchen lifehacks, help cultivate new caste delicacies, introduce them to new concepts for how to manage their time/finances/relationships/to-dos. he possibilities are endless. 

Clurch has a lot of standards that span a bunch of different belief sets. There are more docile types of clowns as well as more aggressive types. They all practice the same main things, but sometimes have a different holiday or 2. Where the blessing’s beliefs lie could increase the amount of a type of clown more than the others. 

The blessing does have a chance to help make Alternia a little less bloodthirsty in a meaningful way. All there is to ponder about is how.

Hey mod, I take it you like Hamilton what with the Eliza!Blessing reader, yeah? Well, I've been listening to Hamilton recently, & there's this cut song on youtube called 'Congratulations' where (spoilers) Angelica chews out Hamilton to a rap where she just lays out ALLL the shit he's done thus far to ruin his legacy & shame his family- & it hit me that clowns rap to preach. & I can just see. a whole clurch's face- as EBreader just /DRAGS/ a clown that has kept fucking up no matter what the(1/2)

(2/2) clurch tried to do to help sort them out & now they’ve done a Big Time Fuck Up. Very Publicly. When they had every opportunity to even vaguely behave & not be a complete sack of crap. & as the clowns try & decide what they need to do to atone for besmirching the Church- here comes reader *rapping*- **their preaching** about how hard they’ve fucking dishonored them like /YEESH/ oof. ow. that'd gotta hurt to witness. I can't help but wonder how our older trolls would swallow witnessing that.

Big OOF. This version of the blessing is somewhat softer than the usual one I write, so it would certainly be a shock to A) see them visibly shaking furious and B) RAP/ READ a blasphemous bro/sis for filth. 

This trial would be happening with GHB in attendance to act as His Honorable Tyranny.

Now let’s be clear. In this timeline, the blessing has a LOT more freedom than the other version. They even set their own schedule and manage it very well for these makeshift therapy sessions/feels jams. They enjoy their position and really became the cornerstone of the community for the clowns on and off planet. 

All of this to say: They know where all the bodies are buried. They may not report anything to GHB to keep their diamond confidentiality, but they certainly don’t forget no good piece of gossip.

They know every perspective of what happened, when the jerk clown said what to who in confidence. 

They know how they screwed over not only the entire church to the lower castes, but specifically screwed over certain clowns that only had well meaning intentions but now had to deal with the emotional hurt and now the investigative process for this whole debacle. 

There may have even be a few shirts stained with purple tears/facepaint because of all the consoling that had to be done. It was a mess.

So when this absolute dingleberry tries to lie and pin it on someone else or claim something so glaringly wrong in light of what EB!Reader knows, they lose it and stand, glaring and beginning their read. 

The entire building is silent. Almost all of those in attendance are staring on in shocked awe at the spectacle unfolding before them.

Some say it was a miracle.

Others believe it was the Mirthful Messiahs themselves speaking through the reader as they brought every single misstep and misdeed to light.

And after the final sarcastic “congratulations” is said. There was a moment of silence before there is a cacophony of bike horns, whoops, and general cheering, a lot of the others trying to talk to you before GHB silences them, demanding they all settle down. 

Our clowns would all be thinking along the same lines of “I didn’t even know they had that in them.” 

GHB is silently a proud Grandpa that the blessing has shown off yet another advantage that the Messiahs themselves likely planned.

Ok. I've been marinating in this 'bonnet' head cannon for a few days. You mean to tell me that he wears a modified shower cap to bed?? I have straight hair so I have no idea. Curly haired people do this???

Yes.  Curly haired folks will tell you this. I know this because I am such a person (I have 4).  I know it sounds weird and stuff, but it prevents your hair from getting tangled or losing definition because it keeps you hair up, still and out of the way. They’re usually made of silk or satin. It also works for Marvus because recuperacoon goo won’t get in his hair and have time to dry into it. And before anyone tries to say they’re too small for the amount of hair he has and his horns. I present this bonnet. They exist. Men and women use them. It’s convenient for long haired trolls, not just curly-headed ones.
