Hello my lovely dear!!!! How would any of our deadly babes (your choice who) respond to an s/o who tends to hyper fixate on like projects as a coping mechanism??? I have been having that going on lately bc issues and have made waaaayyyy to many origami butterflies (it's all I know how to do) Love you!!!!
[ooo lets go with some classic and some underrated shall we-]
Slashers With a Hyperfixating S/O:
Michael Myers:
Doesn’t particularly mind or care so long as you don’t drag him into it
Or it doesn’t interrupt anything he’s doing. Or it doesn’t hurt you in any way.
Like if you end up hyperfixating on a puzzle or a sculpture he’ll leave you to it, just kind of peering over your shoulder once in a while to check your progress
Calls of ‘Hey Michael! Do you wanna join me?’ are just blatantly ignored and he tries to just let you have your time
When you finally DO get him to join you in something though, you have a 50% change that he’ll accidentally hyperfocus/hyperfixate on the thing right along side you
He doesn’t mean to do it, it’s just his ability to garner new Obsessions is a constant detriment to his health and mindset
He might go even harder than you.
“Michael did you stay up all night just to use up all the origami paper and make those butterflies?” -sleepy nod- “Now I gotta go out and buy more paper for myself!” -shrugs- “>:/”
This brick wall of a man is a disaster to have at your side either way, proceed with caution.
Bubba Saywer/Leatherface:
Always interested in whatever you’re doing, Bubba is the most supportive of the bunch when it comes to your projects
He knows how it is to want to learn how to do something and do it well! His decorations that he makes with bones aren’t just for show, you know!
He’ll learn all about your fixation and find you the best presents to give you!
Will want you to teach him how to do whatever it is you’re doing at all times. He’s not the fastest learner, though, and it may be frustrating but be patient with him! He’s doing this so he can spend time with you!
Will be there to remind you to eat and take breaks
Gentle nudges and plates of food and lemonade/sweet tea set in front of you, followed by worried grunts and mumbles if you ignore it
“Just one second, Bubba, I’m almost finished with-” -LOUDER WHINE- “Okay! Okay I’ll eat I’m sorry!” -proud hum-
Wants you to enjoy your things but also remember how to function as a person
Asa Emory/The Collector
Admires your commitment and urge to finish things
Will buy you supplies whenever you need them.
You won’t know, though. You’ll never ask. They’ll just appear at your workspace one day with a little note and that’s it. He shows his support in those small ways
He won’t get as into your projects. He has his own life and studies to work on. He’s a busy man, after all
If your projects start to get in the way of his time with you then he’ll get annoyed, pushing past them to be your main focus out of spite more than anything else
No you CAN’T keep working on the rubix cube tonight, Y/N, it’s OUR night and i’m going to make you focus on ME
Has very set rules of when is appropriate to work on the things, which may get annoying for you since your mind is always so intensely focused on them
He hates having to set a schedule for you on it, but until you prove that you can behave and manage your time like a normal adult it’s what he’ll do.
Nathan Wallace/Repo Man
The most worried of the group.
Like he’s super happy you have something that you’re so passionate about! He really is!
He’s just. Concerned.
“Are you sure you need to focus all this time on that one thing, dear? Take a break for a moment, okay? Let me fix you a drink. Want a sedative to calm you down?”
Nathan himself is very gentle with you in his fatherly sort of worry, always touching at your shoulder and frowning when he thinks you need to take a break. Offers you a lot of food and hot teas to pull you away from it and coax you into relaxing.
Repo Man on the other hand? When he gets annoyed at your actions he just hauls you over his shoulder and drags you off with him.
If you protest he just cackles and rolls his eyes
“Enough of that, Y/N, it’s BORING. I got something much more fun to have us do~.”
That either means he’s going to fuck you or take you and make you kill people with him, you don’t get a choice either way. Anything to get your mind off of it.
Nathan apologizes later and buys you more supplies to make up for it.
