@onopoeia started following you! (For Onomatopoeia!)

The Bat's renown was becoming an infection. Spreading with no signs of stopping, it seemed a three-way coin-toss to whether or not you were 'spared' or inspired to join Team Good or Team Bad. Team Good had a recent crop of 'hopefuls' looking to shine from the rabble, one of them was scampering ahead of her now. Shit-for-all when it came to the old hand-to-hand, but one slippery street-fish on the evasion-side of things; It'll be glorious once she finally sinks her claws in, and descales those pretty plates back to expose the soft underneath.

But, Hemlock had to admit this one sure knew the city well. Enough to lead her on a mad-dash throughout, and enough to stoke the fires of irritation into an inferno. Time to end this clown-show.

They land behind some old abandoned warehouse, but before the fledgling vigilante can gain ground, pain forces him to eat it, instead. Courtesy of the hooked head of her grappling-gun dug deep into the meat of his calf. The mechanism begins dragging him screaming back towards her; and with no movement wasted, she's on the hero like a starved beast. Knee to the back, hand on neck, and a greedy blade raised skyward for the kill.

But movement is what catches her eye, and stays that blade from falling.

"Woah-oooh, there-!"

“Back-off, Bulls-Eye! I came, I saw, I conquered this tool first. His head belongs to me!"

Or was this ominous hombre here to help this guy? God, she hoped not. There were shows waiting at home for her to get back to.

(romance headcanons - open)

//once again placing these under a cut b/c i cannot be concise to save my fucking life!!

is your muse more likely to be loud and proud about being in a relationship, or are they more quiet about it at first and open up about it over time?

this definitely depends, but overall i'd say sal likes to keep things on the down-low. he likes to be open about when someone is *his* and he can certainly be very possessive, but he doesn't like to make a huge deal about it. generally, his approach is pretty lowkey but definitely not trying to hide the fact that he's with someone. he won't scream it from the rooftops, but if asked directly he'll be honest and upfront about being in a relationship.

this is especially true in regards to relationships with men--even in verses where sal has worked through his internalized homophobia and trauma enough to have a healthy relationship with another man, sal still prefers to keep things quiet most of the time. again, not *hiding* it, but not exactly advertising it either. sal doesn't really think it's anyone's business.

buuuut like i said, he does like to be open about when someone is *his* and can be very possessive. he doesn't think random strangers deserve the details of his relationships, but he *does* want people to know that his partner(s) are his and that he's theirs. he's big on that kind of thing.

is your muse more confident or shy when it comes to approaching someone they like?

post-vampirism, sal is a bit more shy than he used to be! in the past, it definitely depended on the exact circumstances, but salvatore was certainly very bold with approaching people he was interested in (especially women, and especially women he was purely interested in sexually). however, since this is a headcanons meme about romance, i'll ignore that bit and go back to romance.

when it comes to romance, sal has always been a bit more reserved and a bit less likely to approach people. part of this comes down to him being on the aromantic spectrum--he doesn't experience romantic attraction frequently and easily, and when he *does* experience it he usually doesn't really *do* much of anything about it. however, this means that when he *does* actually do something about it, it's usually something he's put a lot of thought into and thus he's pretty bold about it.

with both of the romances sal had pre-vampirism, he made the first move. even with bruno, who he had to keep things on the down-low with, sal was the one who approached him first and actually asked him out.

post-vampirism is different though, and for the sake of ease i'll just use jason/billy (calling him billy here) for reference. billy and sal were very close for a while before anything actually romantic happened between them, for a lot of reasons. sal was still dealing with the internalized homophobia he struggles with as a result of his upbringing and trauma, and he also just. didn't want to potentially ruin his relationship with the one person he could trust at that point.

sal was still the one who made the first move, though; he kissed jason impulsively one night while the two were spending some time together. and immediately after that, he fucking panicked and tried to leave, very quickly backing down and shying away from billy. eventually, billy was able to coax him into talking to him again, but still any boldness sal felt quickly vanished and he just. kinda tried to hide.

so. wow that was a long-winded-ass answer, jesus- short summary: sal is generally more bold and sometimes even impulsive when he acts on romantic attraction to someone, but he's definitely a *lot* shyer than he used to be in many ways, especially with men.

would it bother your muse if they had differing interests from their partner(s), or would they delight in it?

i don't think it'd bother him tbh!!! i think sal would *love* to be able to share his interests with his partner(s), but he also enjoys seeing them enjoy whatever it is that makes them happy, even if it's not something he really understands (and even if he probably teases them about it sometimes lol). he also would genuinely try to engage in it with them to see what they like about it for himself, or just to make them happy.

(example: billy's love for the original mario games on the NES. sal doesn't really understand the appeal, but he'll still play with billy sometimes. he does suck at it tho LMAO so after a while he gives up and just watches billy play.)

as for his own interests, sal does *want* partner(s) who take an interest in what he enjoys as well, be it swing dancing or stargazing, but it's not a requirement. as long as you're not actively shutting him down, having the same interests isn't something that's particularly important to him.

OC Emoji Asks || Not Accepting!

💐 BOUQUET - create a bouqet for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite?

Alyssum (worth beyond beauty), heliotrope (devotion), chamomile (rest and peace), and violet (watchfulness, modesty). Lots of white and purple flowers here! None of them are particular favorites of his, but they still put together a striking bouquet! (//Victorian flower meanings seemed appropriate considering the time period he's from~)

🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Honestly my inspiration for Garrett came from some of my experiences playing BloodHunt! And the first thing I decided was that he was going to be a sniper.~

🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean?

He can swim but he's no Olympic competitor. He can get in and out of the water as he needs to just fine. As for swimming in the ocean, some of the things in there have more teeth than he does so he's not exactly keen on it.

✂️ SCISSORS - what is the "last straw" for them to cut someone out of their life? how easily do they let go of people?

It's actually very hard for Garrett to cut people out of his life if he's known them long enough. Even if they betray him in some way, he'll want to know why they did it before taking that step. But if he's only mutual acquaintances with someone (excluding business partners), he's more likely to straight up ghost them than let them know he's dropping them from communication.

💚 GREEN HEART - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food?

Hugs! Physical contact from friends! I've mentioned that he's astoundingly touch-starved and that still holds true. That being said, unless he's in a setting where he's intending to feed, he can be a bit leery about strangers being overly friendly. It's not personal: he has to be careful about hunters and the like.

PROMPTS FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T USED TO KINDNESS. / @onopoeia

Oh, doesn't he know that. Green curls bounce as the villain shakes his head and lowers his chin, arms resting on his knees, and letting out a sigh. Everything would be just too good if life adhered to the rules of fairness and deservingness.

"Yeah," he hums, "They usually don't. They'd rather pick at someone who's weaker, like people tend to do."

@onopoeia asked: "be honest... you don't have a very trusting face , i mean look at you ? " // redhood ( he shouldn't say anything either tbh uybid

Taking this familiar criticism onboard, he grouped it alongside the stocked assortment of other, often inventive terms previously levelled against himself with regard to his unusual countenance. A man out of time itself, his identity known to scant few beyond certain society circles, with worse horrors than the small matter of a stylised costume lurking beneath the surface of his cutting edge garb.

Possessing red hues and prominent fangs that presently caused his jaw to ache in subdued protest from inaction, Miguel could not deny the clear-to-see duplicitous of his own design, a hero in as much sense as someone bringing water to a parched animal; the term had completely lost all true meaning.

Even before he witnessed the destruction of an entire reality.

"And what of it? Don't you wear a mask, too?"

Pushing back with the same amount of judgement, he looked askance at the other, refusing to budge an inch. And yet, despite his frigid, worn out tone, had he felt inclined to drop the façade, peel away the mask, one would spy a heavy, world-weariness present in his gaze, his face one of a man desperately seeking his rest, yet constantly striving forward.
