Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffith as Charles Driggs and Audrey 'Lulu' Hankel in Something Wild (1986)
Meeting and Dating Ray Sinclair
(My borderline alright gif)(Welcome to my first underrated movie headcanons post! This is from the movie Something Wild (1986))
(If you’re going to learn anything about me from this blog then you’ll learn that I’m a big fan of criminals.)
- You and Ray first met while you were dating a friend of his. He’d just gotten out of a stint in prison when you and your boyfriend had happened across him on the street. The two men greeted each other warmly as you stood off to the side, wondering who the hell this guy was.
- Finally, your boyfriend turned and introduced the two of you, letting Ray get his first good look at you. That was all it took for him to decide he wanted you and let’s just say that when Ray wants something...he gets it.
- He doesn’t immediately try to put the moves on you. If there’s anything Ray is its conniving and cunning; he’s willing to wait to make sure he gets things right. He studies your relationship, taking note of its weak points; all the touchy subjects and things that make you incompatible.
- At the same time he gets closer to you, showing you a good time and getting you addicted to the rush of adrenaline and the thrill that comes with being around him.
- Isn’t it sad that a man you barely know brings more excitement to your life than your own boyfriend. But that’s kind of the point, isn’t it? That’s exactly what he wants you to think but it isn’t like he’s putting up a facade. He’s showing you exactly what it’s like to be with him, he just knows that the lifestyle will be too alluring for you to resist.
- Ray isn’t a great person, he knows that, everyone knows that. He’s a conman, a criminal, a bastard, the list can go on. Him being vindictive and two faced with your ex boyfriend is just the tip of the iceberg but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t actually care about you. He loves you that’s for sure, enough to plot an entire scheme to get you for himself.
- Honestly, all your relationship needed to fall apart was a little push and he was happy to provide it. A little instigation on his part and the two of you were exchanging screaming insults.
- It was only a matter of time before you two officially split up and let’s just say it wasn’t on good terms. Ray was the one who swooped in and comforted you, calling your ex an ass and offering to get your stuff from his apartment.
- To be fair you weren’t all that upset, it felt like a weight had been lifted off your shoulders. You hadn’t realized how much he was dragging you down. You were finally free to do whatever you wanted and so...Ray asked you to run off with him.
- You’d been happily prancing around your room when he first asked, too caught up in your own excitement to hear him correctly so you had to ask him to repeat himself.
- When you finally heard the question you were shocked, the smile faded from your face a bit as you processed what he was actually asking you. Sure you’d wanted to leave your town for a while, see the world a little and live your life but could you really do it, and with Ray for that matter? Sure he was attractive and you liked him a lot but this was a huge step. You couldn’t exactly go back once you’d started.
- It took you a minute to come to your decision. You were free... and you were gonna stay free. You packed up your things, kissed your life goodbye and hopped in the car with him, never looking back.
- Whatever you want to do the two of you will do. Is it considered a date if you’re just living out your lives together?
- You rarely leave each other’s sides and you rarely want to. You’re as comfortable as can be with each other.
- Lots of pda, homeboy would legitimately fuck you in public if you let him.
- His go-to pet name is baby and he calls you it often.
- Ray can be a real sweetheart when he wants to be and he saves all his sweetheart points for you. You’re the only person he’s ever nice to without there being an ulterior motive behind it.
- He honestly thinks you’re the most amazing girl he’s ever met. You’re beautiful, smart, sweet, talented; the list could go on and he’d happily read it out to you if you cant see what he does.
- He loves having you model clothes for him. He’d steal you expensive outfits just so he could watch you try them on and tear them off you afterwards.
- Acting gentlemanly has never been like a conscious decision of his, he just opens doors for you (etc) because that’s what you’re “supposed to do”.
- You do a lot of moving around so get used to being in cars and packing up your stuff constantly.
- Sleeping in the passenger seat of his car while he drives to your next destination. When you’re awake, he likes to keep one hand on your thigh and the other on the steering wheel.
- Ray has no shame and that’s a fact. He isn’t afraid to make a fool of himself for you.
- He always checks on you when he thinks something may be wrong. He may overreact a little in certain situations but it’s all coming a good place.
- You catch him staring a lot, sometimes it’s innocent other times it feels like he wants to eat you alive.
- He’s really protective of you, that’s part of the reason why he watches you so much. He doesn’t like having you out of his sight just in case something happens to you or you need him.
- He finds nearly everything you do amusing. You could be killing someone and he’d find a way to make a teasing comment about it.
- He takes pride in seeing you become more like him. Whenever you do something wild he can’t help but smile.
- He’s probably taught you how to use a gun. You spend some weekends sitting in an isolated area with him, shooting cans off of broken fences and bins.
- Learning how to patch him up and reset his broken noses. Get used to blood, that’s all I’m saying.
-Sometimes he genuinely amazes you with how tough he is. You don’t think you’ve ever met anyone in your life that can handle a broken nose like it’s just an inconvenience.
- He likes going through your things so I don’t suggest owning things you wouldn’t want him finding. He does it out of curiosity and boredom rather than suspicion so don’t read into it too much.
- He’s very...convincing. It’s hard to resist him when he asks you to do something or asks to do something to you.
- Play wrestling and just being overall kinda rough with each other.
- He’s one hell of a kisser. He takes your breath away on a daily basis.
- He likes to people watch and make fun of everyone with you.
- He has a thing for your shoulders. He just always seems to be touching them in some way whether it be laying his head on one or wrapping his arm around both of them.
- Late night trips around town. You have a lot of fond memories under the stars.
- Even if he thinks something is silly he can’t help but do it for you just to see you smile.
- Keeping a list of all the motels and hotels that you’ve visited...It’s a long list.
- He likes being able to carry you into your motel room/bedroom after you’ve fallen asleep in his car or on the couch. There’s just something about it that’s so precious to him.
- Sleeping in his shirts with your head resting on his arm and his body pressed against your back.
- Probably has your name tattooed somewhere on him. He also may or may not have gotten it done while in prison.
- Be prepared for a lot of surprises, he likes seeing the look on your face when he catches you completely off guard.
- Likes when you play with his hair. You can always calm him down with it, it’s your own little secret weapon against him.
- Fights are screaming matches but he never lets either one of you walk away. You’re going to fight until things get fixed and that’s just how it’s going to be even if he has to stand by and watch you cool off for an hour. The both of you can go to bed angry with each other but you’re still sleeping side by side and that’s final.
- He hates upsetting you; he always apologizes and knows exactly what to do to make things better though.
- To a certain degree he knows almost exactly what you need and want. Sometimes it’s annoying how right he is about you but other times it’s helpful. You find solace in the fact that there’s certain things about you that he’s just dead wrong about or that he doesn’t know about at all.
- Occasionally, he gets kind of insecure about your relationship because he isn’t sure if he can provide you with the future that you really want. Sure, his adrenaline junky, carefree ways are fun now but how long are you going to think so?
- He has high hopes for you even though you’ve chosen to spend your days with a dirtbag like him.
- He’s often quick to jealousy but he hides it well...to people other than you at least. You know the way he is so you can always spot the little quirks and cues that tell you he’s getting ticked off. That and the fact that he’ll grill you on who “that guy was” after you’ve walked away from them.
- Sometimes he’s ready to start a full on fist fight after hearing someone use a pickup line on you. Other times he likes to stand around and listen to guys talk about or attempt to flirt with you just to see how quickly their faces fall once they realize you’re together. Occasionally he’ll do both of those things just for the additional ego boost.
- He’s willing to fight for a woman like you.
- He likes telling you about his different robberies and schemes. Whenever he commits some kind of crime he just has to brag to you or mock the people he just messed with.
- You’re probably going to have to visit him in prison at least once, just saying. But hey, if you’re with him you already know what you signed up for
- He’s never afraid to admit how much he missed you.
- Even if you broke up with him (probably because of him being in prison, let’s be honest) he’d still be caught up on you and wouldn’t be able to stop himself from trying to get you back by any means necessary.
- He absolutely melts on the inside whenever you tell him you love him, especially if it’s after a fight or when you’re getting back together after a long time apart.
- Ray is a charmer so it wouldn’t be hard for him to get your parents to like him, it’s probably best that you leave out the fact that he’s been to prison though.
- You probably have a Vegas wedding on a whim one night pretty early into your relationship because that’s just how your relationship is. Funnily enough, you don’t regret it one bit.
