Hey I'm sooo happy I found your page because it's literally amazing <3 I LOVE YOUR WORK
I was wondering if you could write hcs for Rufus/Thomas/Choptop with a bipolar/emotional reader
Like imagine they just go from overly energetic to mental breakdown in few days (also she doesn't really know what's wrong with her)
Feel free to ignore!!
Love this prompt. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I'M GLAD YOU LIKE MY WORK! <3 Sorry if these headcanons were a little short (and really shitty). AND SORRY I RESPONDED LIKE A MONTH LATER, I've been really busy. I'm trying to get back on my grind. 💔
《 Slashers with a Bipolar Reader 》
Rufus:
☆ Rufus just wouldn't care that much. Like if you got angry with him he'd get angry with you for a little bit but then he'd just forget about it.————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ If you had an episode in front of him, he'll just stand there watching you. Afterward causing you to feel embarrassed. Or he'll just tune you out, working on something.————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ If you were crying I feel like he would stand there for a second, thinking of whether or not to comfort you. Most people crying made him happy, but when it was someone he loved? It just made him uncomfortable. He tried comforting you by sitting down beside you. Well, at least he thought that would make you feel better. It didn't. Rufus just sat there until you stopped crying. It was very awkward.————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ If you sat in bed for a couple of days, depressed? He wouldn't really understand why, so he'd just leave you alone. Unless they needed you to do a job, Rufus would pull you out of bed and force you to get up after that. Then when you were half-assing your chores? That's when it started to become a problem.————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ Rufus doesn’t really understand your stress and your mood swings. The concept doesn't really grasp him that you have mental issues so he just brushes it off. And obviously is you don't know either so it's just a repeating cycle of your overwhelming emotions and his anger toward your emotions. Deep down he does love you, he just doesn't get it.
Thomas:
☆ It took a while for Tommy to trust you so when he noticed your intense mood swings over just the range of a couple of days it confused him a lot. Like you were just playing and taking care of the chickens outside, talking his ear off while he worked. Now your slumped in his room, barley muttering a word, though when you did it would come out in a mumble? Did you not love him anymore?————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ Since his family wasn't brushed up on much of anything happening outside their own lives, they didn't know what BPD was. You not knowing either was no help. Luda noticed the unpredictable moods you would have over the course of a couple days. She was worried for you and Tommy but she didn't say anything. Until you had a full episode.————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ Earlier this morning you were angry with him, you weren’t sure what caused the anger and irritation. You assumed it might have been his presence. You yelled at him to get out. He narrowed his eyes at you as he left the room, leaving to go work outside. Thomas came in to his room one afternoon to find you sitting on the bed. You were hugging your knees close to you, head down, mumbling inaudible thoughts. Upon hearing Tommy's footsteps creak under the wooden floorboards, you looked up. You were crying. You inched slightly closer to Thomas. You stuttered apologies.
"I-I'm sorry, Tommy. I don't know why I'm like this. You know I love you, right?" You choked out, slowly standing up from the bed and wrapping your hands around him as much as you could. You laid your head on his chest. Thomas stood like a statue before reaching his hand up and putting it in your hair, stroking it in soft motions. He felt hurt, very hurt, but so loved at the same time. He had so many mixed feelings about you that was harder for him to communicate. Luda had found out about what happened, realizing that there was something mentally wrong with you. She eased up on worrying and tried to help you a much as she could. She also explained to Thomas that there was something mentally wrong with you and told him to try not to take anything to heart.————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ Everytime you had an episode Thomas would try and distance himself before you got angry with him. Or if you already caught him he would try and forget about what you said or your yelling by working. Distracting himself from the hurt until you apologized and loved on him for the next hour.
————————————————————————————————————
☆ It was really hard when your episodes when go on for longer periods of time, like days. Tommy tried really hard to keep you under control so he didn't have to be so avoidant of you all the time. You were part of the family now, his family, he wanted to help you, care for you, love you.
Chop-Top:
☆ Chop-Top recognizes that there's something mentally wrong with you and he'll try to help the best he can.————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ It did confuse him at first when you would go from hanging out with him and having fun to secluding yourself and staying quiet. Eventually he grew used to it.————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ If he notices you falling into a depressive state, he'll start to distract you with fun things. Like if you stop talking to him or yell at him, he'll leave you alone for a little bit and then come back with one of your favorite vinyls to play on the record player. Or he’ll sit down beside you and start yapping about random shit to make you giggle.————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ If he notices you being distant for a longer period of time; a few days for example, he'll go out and buy (or steal) you something. Whether that be clothes, snacks, music, jewelry, items realted to a hobby you like, etc. If he can't go out he might find you something from outside that he thought you’d like or he'd take something from one of the victims lying on the butcher table.————————————————————————————————————————————
☆ He may be confused sometimes or taken aback by your emotions or actions but he tries to help. He may not be the best but he loves you and he'll do his best to take care of you how he can.
Put a "🔪" in the comments if you want to be part of my slasher taglist.
let's talk about being mentally ill and living w the Driftwood/Firefly's cause I need the comfort (100% self indulgent):
Warnings: (mental illness depictions, mention of self-h4rm, mention of ED if you squint. gender neutral reader, lemme know if I missed any♡)
- Baby, who is actually really good abt it?? You've locked yourself in your room for the day? Well she's coming with you and you're having a Tim Burton marathon. Don't want to? That sucks; she's tying your ass down and peeling your eyelids open A Clockwork Orange style to force you to be distracted from your mind by discussing the Burton multi-verse with childish excitement. She's beside you in bed, hands on your arm, squeezing excitedly whenever she makes a connection, and even though you wish you could just sleep and disappear, her presence is impossible to ignore and be grumpy about.
- Not eating or refusing to???? Not in Mama's house you're not. She'll ziptie you to a chair and force-feed you your fav meal with the most loving, motherly care, mixed with a multitude of swearing like a trucker. If you refuse, get ready for the airplane: "vroom vroom motherfucker, open up" and "what, don't like the pasta?? here honey, have some pie instead" and "if you don't eat, I'm going to put Otis on feeding duty. and he will not be as patient as me".
- Self-harming?? NOPE, not on Tiny's watch. Tiny will lift you (he can. doesn't matter how big you are, he is bigger and stronger) to his room, sit you on the floor, and wordlessly drop crafting supplies and colouring pages on the floor. You're making a paper skeleton chain whether you like it or not with kiddie scissors that barely cut paper, and colouring with little washable markers that leave streaks. He'll pet your head too, to keep you focused should your mind get any alternative ideas. He'll also let you colour on him if you ask nicely:)
- You're curled up on the couch dissociating from the world? Rufus is a shit-disturber, and will start messing with you to bring you back. If you have long hair, he's pinching it between his fingers and pulling at it lightly. Sits in front of you and just. Stares. Until you're uncomfortable enough to say something rude, and then he's throwing you over his shoulder and yeeting your depressed ass in his truck for a ride. Maybe he'll stop at your fav food chain if he's in a good mood, while he makes you listen to some death metal band that's louder than the thoughts in your head and keeps you grounded. Definitely the type to call you 'little one'.
- In a non-verbal / nothing nice to say about yourself / 'don't talk to me or I'll bite you', mood? Otis is your boy. That's his state of being, and he also finds it relaxing when someone else is a spiteful grump like him; so he's more than happy to work on his artistry and have you listen to his musings and rambles. He'll like it even more if you vent a little (add fuel to the fire), and give him more juice to be angry at the world, increasing his motivation for his work. He's a fully grown angsty teenager — this man gets the rage, and enjoys your little venting sessions (and maybe you) even if he'd rather eat glass than say it out loud.
- Spaulding acts like nothing is any different. Little lighter on the teasing, but we know how he is, and he'll tell you to 'suck it up' and is outwardly brash and mean. BUT, he'll mess with Otis more and though he gets a kick out of it; it's a subtle way to give you even a small smile when Otis is all razzed up. Stirs the pot to cause drama like the meddler he is.
- Avoid Hugo at all costs. Will make things worse.
"Grab what you can, mostly guns. Baby and Otis are waiting for us at the Kahiki Palms" Spaulding had said, Barging into your house unannounced.
It had been months since you'd seen any of the firefly family yet here one of them was, warning you of the Grimsley crimes you committed with the family.
"fuck fuck" you said, grabbing what you thought you'd need. pulling your pistols from the closet and shoving everything into a duffle bag Spaulding had already started up his truck once again and didn't wait for you to shut the door before he was speeding off down the road.
"What about mama and Rufus?" You asked. Spaulding shook his head, staring at the road ahead. "Baby didn't say but I'm assuming their either shot or taken" he said.
Your hand gripped the strap of your Duffel bag, the last time you saw Otis was your breakup.
"Will you get off my fucking back! goddamn I can take care of my damn self" Otis had been struck in the head by a visitor and you refused to let him take care of it himself, but he continued to act like a little baby. "I'm doing this because I care fo ryou asshole" you had growled at him'
"Well, I never asked you to! I don't need a nagging bitch when I can have all the women I want, cold and dead and at my disposal not to mention fuckin quiet now piss off!" he growled stepping up to your face.
Your nostrils flared as you tried to keep from crying. "Fuck you, you are a fucking piece of shit" You hissed and stormed out of the Firefly farm.
You jumped out of your thoughts as the truck began to stall. "no no no fuck" Spaulding said as the truck ran out of gas. You looked around and spotted a woman and her son getting out of her car. You nudged Spaulding and nodded your head at the two, Spaulding grinned and stepping out of the car with you in suit.
"Hi, Me and my friend here are gonna have to be taking your car today" Spaulding started, putting on his nice clown facade. "See we have some top-secret clown and lady Business that supersedes any plans that you might have for this here vehicle"
The woman laughed awkwardly along with Spaulding, you let yourself grin as he stepped closer to the woman "do I stutter bitch"
The woman began to grow nervous as she forced her son into the car and told him to lock the doors while she circled the car Spaulding in tow.
"Where the hell you going. Don't you know never turn your back on a fucking clown when he's talking to you" Spaulding said grabbing the woman.
While Spaulding took care of that you managed to slip your hand into the cracked window and unlocked it, throwing your duffle bag into the back and jumping into the front seat grinning at the little boy.
"If you know better, I suggest you start fuckin running before the bad clown getcha" you said, the little boy started sobbing and raced out of the car just as Spaulding got in the driver's side laughing. "let's go girl!" he whooped and sped off leaving the two stranded.
When you both pulled into the hotel parking lot you could hear screaming. You both jumped out, Spaulding rushing off to the noise while you grabbed the bag and followed.
"Get her daddy!" Babys voice spoke as you turned the corner and saw Spaulding knock the girl down.
Baby stopped running and caught your eye smiling wide. "Y/N!!" she said, slamming into you into a large hug smiling. "Hello baby, it's been too long" you said letting her guide you into the hotel room with Spaulding carrying the girl.
