Terra and Sun really need more screen time. Out if everyone, I think their dynamic gets me the most - nit just bc I'm a Sun and Terra kinnie but bc like... they have the most relatable energy for me specifically regarding trauma.
Therefore, by the power invested in me as a goofy ass gremlin, I deposit my Sun & Terra headcanons!!!
🌎 They sometimes just coexist in the same space, doing separate crafts. No socializing, just some music, maybe, or background noise as they engage in parallel play
☀️ it is difficult to find clothes in their sizes, being animatronics, so Sun pulls Terra aside one day and drags her to his favorite secret place - a little hole-in-the-wall boutique a few states away. He's glowing with a blush when he explains that it's where he gets all his top favorite clothes - including dresses... He expects the teasing remarks, the jabs. Terra surprises him by just asking if he wanted to see if they could get matching dresses one day, then - maybe even one for Dazzle, too! Fancy Dress Up Party!!!
🌎 Terra has forced Sun into watching Disney movies with her - so far, Encanto may be their shared favorite.
☀️ They do rage rooms and paint ball/laser tag together. It's good for blowing off steam, and it's hilarious when the rest of their family gets roped into it, bc they wipe the FLOOR with everyone.
🌎 Terra is one of very few who can pick Sun up and carry him off without mild lingering audial damage or getting accidentally punched
☀️ they have spa nights where they touch up on casing paints, do their nails, and gossip.
🌎 Sun is the only person wuth full, unlimited allowance to style Terra's hair. She knows basic upkeep and how to generally do basic styles, but Sun can get INTRICATE with it, and it doubles as a fun bonding experience with bonus points of stimming.
☀️ Sun is claustrophobic, and Terra makes a point at any available chance to double check that any outing or event is open enough. She never tells Sun about it, but he suspects she's up to something when a half baked idea gets suddenly scrapped due to "bad reviews" or "actually, I really am craving this instead-"
🌎 They both like pokemon in passing, but really enjoy playing Diamond or Pearl just to do the contests. Like. If there was a game that was SPECIFICALLY for pokemon contests, they'd be all over that like bees on honey. ((Me fr))
☀️ Earth stims via echolalia and Sun stims with textures. Sometimes he'll read from a dictionary, rubbing the pages and Earth just repeats the words in a mutually beneficial stim party.
🌎 they both get into crafty hobbies together - sculpting, basic builds, resin, etc. They wind up making gifts for everyone and each other. (Sun has a set of magnets for the fridge from Terra, and she has a whole set of hair pins and sticks with bobbles and pretty colors)
☀️ they use code words and social safe words. There's a whole list of severity on a scale of 1 - 5; 1 being 'things are good' and 5 being 'get me the hell out of here'. It is uniquely tailored to each, and there's a sort of... unspoken agreement that it can be used for anything - including family situations, as needed.
🌎 ^^ that said, it's also not unusual at all for Sun to pop over and curl up with Terra in the night or vice versa when the Bad Brain Stuff Happens. Sometimes Dazzle will sneak in as well because she wants in on the cuddle action.
☀️ "would you love me if I was a [insert weird or mildly scary animal]?" // "no ♡" // "that's fair" ((this happens at least once a month))
🌎 they like watching nature and true crime documentaries. Also, they enjoy some good paranormal investigation shows, though they have Strong Opinions ((and half baked ideas to do their own ghost hunting show one day))
☀️ Sun is Terra's swearing filter. She can't and won't use such language, but Sun can! And will!! And wants to!!! (("Why don't you mind your own-" // "FUCKING-" // "-business? Thank you, Sunny." // "any time, sis 💅"))
🌎 they have the vibe of sitting in lawn chairs, sipping kool-aid slashes in fancy glasses, feet in a kiddie pool with huge sunglasses while the actual kids are sword fighting with pool noodles, I don't make the rules
