Let's talk about the adults of the 3rd floor shall we? This is a scene of their conversation concerning the dolls during the debut game
First pic is Joseph speaking:
Second pic is Sophie speaking:
The last one is both Dorothy and Ryan's literal synchronized thought:
Context: Dorothy and Ryan were talking about how Shaun and Emilico should've had used cruel means to eliminate their friends,they were talking about Ram, Shaun, Emilico, who were already friends at that time
Then both Sophie and Joseph shot down their cruel resolutions which the dolls should use on the basic those three are already friends so they wouldn't use such methods, which made Dorothy and Ryan feel that the other two shadows sitting opposite them were real killjoys
********************************
I think this scene show us the First floor adults' personalities:
:::::::::::::::::
Ryan and Dorothy are sadistic,cruel,they said cruel things and act very bold so they possibly resort to unethical measures so things would go their ways
Ryan is much more barbaric, it's said in his description that he's "a violent man who has perverse thoughts",he wanted to see losers rather than winners too,he gets angry if everyone wins,the guy said that himself
Dorothy is often more elegant so she wouldn't throw hands unlike Ryan,rather she uses her words,we see her playfully mocking the dolls condescendingly and even laugh when Shaun walked into a trap and fell into a pit hole during the Debut's game. She sounds very strong when she demanded Aileen too
xxxxxxxxxx
Sophie and Joseph are calm, reserved,composed. Their ways of speaking are also logical and polite too,not outright insulting like Ryan and Dorothy
Joseph is a logical and calm gentleman pretty much contradict his big size, he provides reasons, information for arguments rather than claiming something which isn't proven right away like what he said above,the mentioned dolls are friends so they wouldn't backstab eachother like what Ryan and Dorothy said they should do. He also pointed out at Dorothy and Ryan's lack of knowledge which is not reading the profiles that were provided on the participants
Sophie is pretty much the same as Joseph,she wouldn't say things based on predictions alone. Dorothy even mentioned when she gets excited she acts unusual to her normal behaviour,her calm demeanor. Just like what Sophie said above,Ryan and Dorothy were talking about what they would've done if they were Shaun and Emilico,which is backstabbing their competitors/friends,to which Sophie counteracted that they aren't Shaun and Emilico so they shouldn't say that. Put it in more bold terms,it's an insult to their lack of knowledge too:"You both aren't Emilico and Shaun so don't go making up stupid what-would-I-do solutions like that. It's a waste of breath". Which added more salt to injuries on what Joseph said before that
Joseph and Sophie were also on par with eachother too, barely a second after Joseph finished his statement, Sophie already continued on and further proven, supported what he said
********************************
Their seatings are also telling of their relationships. Usually you sit with someone you're close with or someone you're on a good term with right? Dorothy and Ryan are seated next to eachother, opposite to them are Sophie and Joseph who are also seated next to eachother
The two pairs are seated opposite to eachother which can implies that the pairs are literally polar opposite correct? It could also even hinted at the relationships of Dorothy and Ryan as well as Sophie and Joseph as having been close with eachother prior to the current time too,maybe since they were in the children's wing?
Yes we saw these four were on a somewhat decent term in the first episode. Sophie and Dorothy were modelling for a portrait together,Joseph and Ryan were playing cards and drinking wine together too. Still it wouldn't mean they have very close relationships,after all Dorothy and Ryan did say Sophie and Joseph were so unlikeable to them, which also means Dorothy and Ryan do not like it when someone disagrees with them
Even when doing the children selections, they go in pairs too, Sophie-Joseph and Dorothy-Ryan. After all why would you go do an important duty with someone you don't like unless forced? It's usually quite unlike that
In conclusion,Dorothy and Ryan usually act bold,mean,arrogant while Sophie and Joseph usually act calm,reserved,logical. Both pairs have a somewhat acquaintances or coworkers relationship
I also theorised that the pairs might be engaged or even married. You see how each pair act with eachother, I heard engagement and marriage mentioned in the story many times now, I don't think that was unimportant, I heard that the children can get engaged so when they become adults,they can get married. It's fun to think about honestly
I even thought that sweater-like upper clothing Joseph is wearing was made by Sophie, since she's butterfly themed,she probably reared silkworms herself and then made a sweater from the silk produced by the silkworms, the texture of Joseph's sweater-like upper clothing doesn't look like it was made from wool. These are just speculations, I'm not that adept in clothing
Wow, you do Ryan's headcanons from shadows house!! It's my favorite, could you do a jealous Ryan headcanon?

# NOTE. thanks for the request since i adore ryan❤️
✁ Ryan gets jealous very easily and very often
✁ He’s not insecure or anything, it just rubs him the wrong way when he’s not the one getting your attention or someone other than him is making you smile too much for his liking
✁ Especially if that someone is another man
✁ When he is jealous, he’s either really touchy, unreasonable, snarky, or violent. No matter which one he feels like indulging with it’ll be awful and/or embarrassing on your end
✁ He notices your friends spending too much time around you and keeping you from spending time with him instead? Ryan is now hovering over you 24/7
✁ You’re going to hang out with comrades? He’s going too. You have a meeting to attend? He’s standing right next to you the entire time.
✁ You can try to ignore his presence, but even though it’s impossible for your friends to see the way he’s glaring daggers into them, the soot emitting from the man less than a foot behind you and dirtying the entire room is a dead give away.
✁ Let’s hope no one ever has the audacity to try to flirt with you because Ryan has no shame in going up and telling them off (with many, many threats included).
✁ Isn’t against using violence to get his point across either, especially if they’re of lower status. You’ve walked in on Ryan with a foot on someone’s head while threatening to cave their skill in if they ever look in your direction again far too many times.
✁ If intimidation doesn’t work which is highly unlikely then he can resort to getting handsy
✁ If someone is eyeing you from across the room then he makes a point out of putting an arm around your shoulders or waist, having you sit in his lap, kissing any exposed skin, etc.
✁ As much as he might not like too much pda, he hates other people interfering or having their eyes on you even more
✁ Will be wary and hostile towards anyone he sees as a potential rival
✁ Don’t get him wrong, there’s no way Ryan is intimidated by them or believes that they pose any threat to him, your relationship on the other hand…
✁ It’s more so him being aggravated by anyone having the audacity to try to capture your attention or get you to leave him for them instead
✁ Ryan would never be upset at you for these things, instead he takes it out on the culprit, or in the case that he doesn’t know who it is, ex: a secret admirer leaving you gifts, he takes it out on anyone unfortunate to be in the area
✁ Don’t let him find out you have a secret admirer, he will raise hell and dedicate all of his time into finding and curb stomping them
✁ If you reassure him that there’s no way he’d ever be replaced and how you belong to him and him only, he might consider letting it go, but it takes a lot of coaxing
✁ Overall a very possessive partner and 9/10 will get jealous over the smallest things, a real handful to deal with but the thought of knowing that he’s getting himself all worked up over you is at least somewhat comforting
hi ;3 can i request boyfriend headcanons with Ryan from shadows house please? thank you <3
BOYFRIEND HEADCANONS // RYAN SHADOW
# GENRE. general
# RUNDOWN. boyfriend headcanons with ryan shadow
# WARNINGS. genderneutral reader, not proof read
# NOTE. not only did you request shadows house but it was my favorite character, you have all my respect and love anon(●’◡’●)
✁ Dating Ryan means he’d treat you like a goddess and a right hand man at the same time
✁ He doesn’t mind PDA, but won’t allow it to be anything super sweet or affectionate because he believes that it will make him seem weak and will taint the way the rest of the third floor residents see him
✁ And rightfully so, considering the rest of them normally see him as very arrogant and not someone who comes off as the romantic type so seeing him more casual around you would be out of character.
✁ That being said, he does have a soft side for you whenever the two of you are alone and enjoys the affection when no one is watching.
✁ Loves it when you run your hands through his hair or twirl his curls around your finger but will die before he ever admits it.
✁ When the two of you aren’t alone he prefers smaller signs of affection. Likes to sling an arm around your shoulders since he’ll always make sure he’s sitting down next to you.
✁ If you’re shorter than him then sometimes he’ll rest his arm on your shoulders or the top of your head (and teases you about it too). Definitely is the type to make you jump or stand on your toes for a kiss. If you’re taller then he insists you lean or bend down to accommodate his height so he can still rest his arm on top of you or kiss you and he’d hate it if you look down on him.
✁ Prone to patting your head whether you’re smaller, the same height, or taller than him. If you’re taller, though, expect him to pull you down by the collar to do so.
✁ If the two of you were dating then you’d most likely be another resident of the third floor since he’d look down on anyone lower.
✁ Has the “the only person allowed to insult my s/o is me” mindset.
✁ Loves to poke fun at you and is very sarcastic and blunt to the point where others wonder how you put up with him being a bastard nearly 24/7, but he makes up for it with how mellow and more relaxed he is around you compared to everyone else in return
✁ Yeah the way Edward despises everyone on the third floor and talks shit about them after sucking up to them, especially Ryan??? If he ever found out someone was doing that to you, you might as well consider them discarded and forgotten since it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever be seen again once he gets his hands on him.
✁ EXTREMELY protective. Doesn’t tolerate anyone disrespecting or speaking ill of you. Someone insults you? He handles it. Someone mocking you? He’ll deal with it. Someone making awful jokes about you or hurting you emotionally or physically in any way shape or form? Rest assured they’ll regret it when he’s done with them.
✁ Will threaten to discard someone or make their life a living hell if they bump into you while walking and there 100% has been an incident where he nearly made someone piss their pants out of fear after getting on their case for not apologizing after stepping on your shoe, just a major guard dog overall.
✁ Will state that he’d do again no matter how embarrassing it was for you.
✁ Keep an eye on him because it’s very likely he’ll break bones or worse if you don’t keep him in line. If you encourage it, however, then it’ll only boost his confidence even more and all hell will break loose. He’ll never say it but you have way more control over him than you might think.
✁ Ryan will occasionally ask you to show your face when the two of you are alone to admire it since no one ever really shows theirs unless necessary, but it’s not very often.
✁ He, however, will be very against showing his if you’re ever being affectionate, cuddling, etc. because he can get flustered by big displays of affection and normally has the privilege of being a shadow and having no visible features to hide that fact.
✁ Expects you to always back him up if he ever gets heated with anyone else on the third floor. It’s not likely that it’ll be a full blown argument, but if he’s ever complaining or pointing something out he’ll look to you or Dorothy for a second opinion.
✁ Has said “Y/N agrees with Ryan, don’t you?” While turning and waiting for you to do so more times than you can count on both hands.
✁ And yes, he’ll want you to agree with him every time. Yes, even if what he said is wrong, biased, or cruel.
✁ Speaking of Dorothy, a lot of the romantic gestures you’ll occasionally get from him will come from him getting advice from her on how to please you since she’s the one he “tolerates the most”, in his own words.
✁ Is very confident in himself and loves it when you compliment or praise him, though everyone else believes that his ego doesn’t need to be any bigger.
✁ Enjoys egging you on if you do give in and praise him more and gets annoyed if you don’t.
✁ Has high standards when it comes to who he wants to date, but rest assured that none of it involves looks, especially considering he rarely gets to see your face and vice versa.
✁ It’s up to you to stop him or talk him down if he ever gets worked up over something since he does have a short temper. Things like putting a hand on his shoulder or grabbing his hand if he’s ever yelling or emitting too much soot usually do the trick when it comes to that.
✁ Brags about you to the rest of the third floor all the time, flaunting his s/o and the fact that he’s the one who got the honor of dating you and vice versa is something they have to put up with on the daily.
✁ Gives the best kind of kisses, but they’re usually quick fleeting ones in public and more passionate when the two of you are alone.
✁ A good listener and encourages you to rant or talk to him if you need to. Will offer advice, but if it’s over something that’s been making you upset, whether minor or major, do expect for most of his suggestions to involve violence, putting someone in their place, or overall maliciousness.
✁ “Ryan would’ve simply pummeled them and reminded them that they’re lesser than in that situation.”
✁ “Beating someone up over them spilling a cup of coffee on a new shirt is a bit of an overkill, Ryan.”
✁ “You’re way too soft, Ryan could always do it for y-”
✁ “No.”
✁ Overall a tricky boyfriend and sometimes hard to put up with, but the amount of effort he puts into your relationship and making you feel loved is worth it in the end.
