RICKYL X READER HEADCANONS/SITUATIONS <3
(sfw and nsfw)
sfw
౨ৎ They love spoiling you. Any way they can really. They love bringing you fun goodies back from supply runs. Clothes that they want to see you in. That you always make sure to wear the next day to show off your appreciation. Books and snacks they know you’ll enjoy. They always love seeing the way your eyes light up when they get back with a gift and how you always give them each a big thank you hug and a kiss before running off to your hammock to read the new book in a day and a half.
౨ৎ Even though the boys always look for pretty clothes and bring you back bags and bags full, you still are always wearing their stuff. Daryl’s hoodie was a clear favourite. And Ricks sweatpants were just so cozy, you couldn’t even help yourself. To bed, you loved to wear one of Ricks button ups, falling off your shoulder and long enough that it hid your cheeky panties. Layering up with one of Daryl’s flannels while you’re out on watch or a run. As long as it smelled like one of them, you were wearing it.
heyo! hope youre doing good, if u do some headcanons or shorts, id love to take a look at how reader has the same high level of substance abuse, especially alcohol, and how Rick goes along with that. If not, just fine, hope u habe a good day.
Alcoholic Like Rick Headcanons:
Well, when you first met Rick, he didn't see you as having a substance problem.
He just thought that you were eccentric and easily match his level of asshole-ery
It isn't until later that your drinking begins to show and he notices you popping different pills at random times
But one night you stumble in his bedroom and saunter up to him to challenge him to a drinking contest
Rick finds it comedic, not only that you're shitfaced and making a show but that you could possibly even dare to outdrink him at this point
That usual smirk comes across his face as he sits you down on his bed and asks to sing you a lullaby since you'll clearly be asleep soon
You refuse and hold your ground though, standing back up to puff your chest out and chug some more of the alcohol you're holding
Rick laughs and puts both hands on the sides of your head
"S-sweetheart, one disadvantage is that I have an enNNDless fucking supply of alcohol, when have you ever s-seen me refill this flask? I d-designed it that way. You know, genius mind."
You gently shove his hands off and state that it doesn't matter, you're not down for the count as you've taken several Xanax in addition to your multiple Bourbon and Hennessy bottles
Rick shakes his head; you started a few hours ago and most people would be in a deep, drunken slumber by now
He catches himself from swearing aloud out of a protective nature, you're not his responsibility but he still feels slightly concerned
"Come awwnnn, let's get scchhwiftyy in heeerre bitch!" You smile, turning on the radio in his room and start dancing around Rick
He shrugs before joining you in your awful grooving as you both pour another drink
He knows that he'll be here to watch over you even if he becomes slightly incompetent by the end of the night
hc + cheating
Rick Headcanons about cheating
Cheating in general, in games and such, it really depends of the situation- he will judge someone weak minded and insecure if he catches them cheating- Rick is aware accepting defeat is part of being strong and he thinks that people who always try the easy ways in life tend to be weaker and less capable at most things, such as Spencer. Rick in general dislikes cheating and people who cheat lose points with him. Unless it's a playful situation or a silly game, then Rick will most likely join the fun and not give it too much thought. In the apocalyptic world, as the nice hypocrite Rick is, he is willing to cheat and lie to his enemies and other neutral people in order to protect his loved ones and het what he wants.
To his group, his loved ones, Rick probably will not cheat or lie. He's very honest and practical and likes to work wirh the concrete situations. It will annoy him so much if he knows the truth and can't say it, or feels like the situation isn't the best for him to say it (like in season 2 when he knows everyone becomes a walker when they die but wasn't sure yet so he refrained from telling the group to not cause more panic, and like when he arrives at Alexandria and tries so desperately to tell everyone they need to have security measures while everyone is living in a fantasy etc). Rick will also keep from telling what he knows to avoid conflict, but that's not lying or cheating per se. (Like when he knew Lori and Shane had an affair but decided to be quiet about it.).
In season 8 when he's crazy suicidal against Negan and the Saviors, Rick does lie and manipulate his friends, but only when the situation puts his own safety at stake, when he wanted to risk his own life and he didn't want others to try and stop or save him.
As for relationship cheating, romantic or friendship wise, that is the end of the world to Rick.
He's a very sensible loyal man and the bonds and relationships he forms with people are either distant casual and superficial or very deep and trustworthy- there isn't much in between that- Rick would pretty much risk his life and die for anyone he considers family. Even side characters such as Tara and Tyreese, Rick offered so much love and support once they became his family, risked his life for them and got so damn sad or mad whenever they risked their lives or died.
Since Rick is such an intense emotional and logical introvert, it takes so much for him to trust people and form bonds and open up and allow himself to be vulnerable in front of that person. He doesn't do small talk, he doesn't spend time in shallow superficial social moments- such things drain him. When he spends time with someone, when he shares love and helps someone, it's because he really means it, and if he got betrayed despite all that, it would mean so many bad things to him.
Being betrayed/cheated on makes him feel like all he did and represented for the person wasn't good enough, wasn't worth it, wasn't appreciated- since he feels so much for the people he loves, getting cheated on would make him feel unloved, as if the person had taken all those feelings and moments together and thrown away. He will feel like an idiot for trusting the person and might even regret it, closing himself even more and becoming distant. It's such an effort for him to get close to someone and bond- too much social situations stress him out, so when he bonds with someone, that bond is strong and deep- if the person breaks it behind his back, he will feel stabbed.
Rick might have a hard time understanding that relationships and feelings for others might not hit them as deep as they hit him- so to his point of view, when others cheat / betray him, it means they considered trash all the emotion, love and care Rick invested. It might be difficult for him to understand the other's point of view, the other's reasons for cheating or betraying, and it doesn't help Rick tends to avoid his emotional problems.
Just like his marriage with Lori, probably Rick was avoiding so many problems for so long that Lori started feeling really unhappy about their love life, basically begging for any reaction from Rick at all because he just kept postponing their problems. After Lori decided to sleep and have a relationship with Shane just after 2 months Rick was gone and still LIE and HIDE that from Rick- that was such a punch against his emotional heart.
The person choosing to NOT TRUST Rick, to not TELL HIM THE TRUTH (even though it's very ugly) hurts much more than the betrayal itself- because Rick is always supportive, he would always accept and support his loved ones even though they made mistakes- hiding the truth from Rick, to him, means the person is throwing all his support in the trash, neglecting all the times Rick stood on his loved ones side despite their mistakes. Rick was mostly hurt about Lori and Shane not telling him about what had happened than about them being together, Rick was mostly hurt about Lori hiding from him she was trying an abortion than actually trying it- because if Lori and Shane told him all those problems, why they happened and what they were going through, Rick would understand and support them as much as he was emotionally capable to, regardless of the pain, Rick wouldn't feel like the whole world was against him, Rick wouldn't feel like he's being fooled and betrayed by his loved ones every single day. Rick is capable of forgiving, even though he's hurting, he just hates it when people act like he's not supportive or reasonable, like he couldn't be relied on for emotional and moral support. He has the need to feel loved and supported too, when he makes decisions for the group and when he's hurt- the support shouldn't be one sided, he needs it and it doesn't help when he finds out he's being betrayed- and the people doing so keep hiding it from him. When I rewatched the series, specially season 1 and 2, it became clear to me how Rick is much smarter than he seems to be. He knows things, he just keeps quiet and observes.
Rick logically can understand that Lori and Shane thought he was dead, he can understand Lori felt scared and Shane offered shelter and safety- on the LOGICAL basis, Rick totally gets it. But on the EMOTIONAL basis it's near zero- Rick simply can't feel empathy for that- he can't emotionally swallow that- because he has so much trouble dealing with his own emotions and solving his sentimental problems- the emotion he has of revolt and hate and frustration will always be much bigger than any of the reasons of his betrayer. This is why Rick had so much hate and anger stored inside against Shane and decided to make his death personal, with a knife (confirmed by the producers of the series in interview on blu ray extras) and after it's done, Rick will use logic and morals to justify it, so he can accept it (and also convince others).
If he gets betrayed, he might forgive, he might approach the person again and rebuild the broken bonds, but he will never forget and it will take SO MUCH TIME for Rick to start expressing his love again, just like happened between him and Lori in the Prison arc. Even if Rick distances himself and acts cold, he will never stop loving the person, what makes it so hard for him emotionally.
Summary:
He's a logical, super smart, clever, sensible good, loyal emotional supportive man who will fight the world for those he loves. If he loves you, as friend or lover, he will most likely stay on your side even if you mess up bad, so it's just STUPID to betray and cheat on him. It's stupid, because he will find out, he will distance himself, it will be bad for you not having him close and it will be bad for him being emotionally damaged. So if you messed up, just tell him and apologize and at least he won't feel ultimately betrayed, hurt and unloved, he might even support you (he still will be on your side, even if he's mad) and bond again sooner. It will hurt but it will be better than keep on betraying him every day, lying while he's well aware of the truth, he's not stupid.

T! you saying you’re touch starved gave me a thought as i am too severely touch starved. rick with a touch-starved reader.
rick finds out you're touch starved when he grabs you by your waist to move you out of the way, your breath gets caught in your throat and you don’t move an inch so rick has to be a little rougher when he moves you behind him. he notices instantly and had to hide the smirk on his face. ever since then, he takes every chance he gets to touch you and it drives you insane. when you’re walking there isn’t an inch between you two, he’s either behind you or beside you, he always makes sure to brush his hand nicely over yours when he’s handing you something or you handing him something, putting a hand on your shoulder to get your attention and once he’s got it he still doesn’t let go. he surprises you one day when he pulls you in for a hug, you can’t help yourself from clinging onto him like he’s keeping you from falling. he holds you for a moment and then whispers in your ear, “my poor girl, so touch starved. we gotta take care of that, yeah?”
I NEED HIM.
star anon ⭐️
I think a hug from him would cure me of everything that’s ever been wrong with me💗 (also this was so beautiful baby)
Unrelated but I headcanon Rick Sanchez as half Latino and I have an explanation but I don't want to post it in case I unintentionally offend someone but if you ask I'll explain
character: Rick Sanchez, headcanon: hugging headcanon
I see Rick not being a very huggy person. He’s not sure how to take or give affection since he’s pretty emotionally broken from his past relationships. However, he will give hugs out to people most important to him, i.e. his family or possible romantic partner.If you ever give Rick a hug he would probably be hesitant and stiffen up not sure if he should hug you back or not. It would take some time for him to be comfortable with hugging you back.
Send me a character and a number and I’ll tell you a headcanon
Rick Grimes + smiling
There's not a lot anymore that can makeRick smile. Not a fake smile or a small smile. A real, uninhibitedsmile that takes up half of his face. There are three things in thisworld that can make that happen: seeing Carls smile, seeing Judithlight up when he comes in to see her, and lame jokes/puns. He andShane used to tell each other the corniest jokes/puns when they weregrowing up together, something that carried on from their childhoodall the way to adulthood. So whenever he sees one, he thinks aboutthe world before and he can'thelp but smile.
send me a character/ship + thing and i’ll tell you a headcanon for that thing.
