Sabertooth character hcs? 👀
ALRIGHT! IT'S SABERTOOTH HEADCANON TIME!
-Victor LOVES making biscuits/kneading, he oftenly collects tons of thick blankets because of this and gets genuinely sad/upset when he has to throw a blanket away because he knead it to shreads and it's no longer recognizable as a blanket anymore
-He enjoys swimming and water in general, I headcanon that his mutant gene is made up by different cat and big cats genetic codes combined into one mutant gene, the most prevalent being tiger, lynx and lion.
-he does that cat chirp/chattering sound when he's relaxing and sees a bird, it also happens if he's watching tv and there's a bird on screen, he can't control it, it just happens, and he's deeply annoyed by this
-he deffinitely purrs and hisses and roars and makes all sort of feline like noises. When it comes to purring, he'll definitely do it if you scratch under his chin, that's his purr activator lmao
-he sheds fur...LIKE A LOT....you could collect it all, turn it into yarn and knit a Victor scarf if you wanted to, type of shedding....everywhere he goes BOOM! a tufft of fur gets left behind...
-he loves to do A BIG STRETCH! in the morning or whenever he wakes up from a nap, ya know, like a cat!
-scratching posts are not enough or resistant enough to keep his claws sharp, neither are nail files, so he just scratches at trees to file them up
-you can tell when he's EXTREMELY angry because his tail will swat and move from side to side, if you see this, run! kitty cat man is angry!
-he loves summer, it's his favorite season because he loves sleeping under the sun and lying on the grass/sunbathing
-he's a MASSIVE CUDDLER, he loves warmth, he'll actively seek anything that provides him with warmth, be it a fire being lit, tons of blankets, a comfy sweater, or a person he trusts sitting next to him, so if someone he trusts is beside him, he'll inmediately turn and just melt into a cuddle pile on top of them, think big warm lazy cat energy.
-his tongue is rough like regular cats, it feels like wet sandpaper lol. Sometimes, he falls asleep with the tip of his tongue poking out like the tiniest little blep.
-cannot resist getting inside boxes, again, it's one of those cat things he can't control and it annoys him.
-he has paws under/inside his boots, same as wolverine, and I think they would probably look like a lynx paw?? just...big pawbs for a big cat man.
-also same as wolverine he has a tapetum lucidum so his eyes definitely glow in the dark
-has a high prey drive, sees as a squirrel? will chase after it. sees a frog? will jump into a pond to try and catch it. butterfly? will swat around his hands attempting to get it, meaning he'll oftenly get side tracked or is easily distracted (he always fails to catch his prey tho, because he's too big and he's more strong than he's agile thus making him slightly clumsy)
-he may be angry and violent and mean, specially to wolverine and the xmen, but if you're on his good graces and he considers you a close friend, he's actually a softy, meaning he'll playfullly nip at your ears or fingers, purr a lot, cuddle for warm....maybe he'll leave a rodent at your doorstep as a gift... and what not!, he's very selective, with who he lets into his life and who gets to see this more domestic side of his.
-although Victor can eat raw meats, he actually enjoys cooking and is skilled at it, so he enjoy making meat based dishes like stew! which he also enjoys sharing with those close to him. He's the total opposite to Wolverine in this, since Logan prefers his meat raw and is quite food agressive/territorial, oftenly going outside the mansion to hunt or scavange his meals and eat them there, since he's quite the messy eater (and he doesn't want to traumatize the kids by dragging in a deer carcass he found rotting but still eatable enough for a wolverine's digestive system...bones and all)
-oddly enough he's extremely good at math...he's a smart kitty cat!
also forgive me if there's any typos, english isn't my first language!
