Pierrot Romantic Headcannons

WARNINGS: Pierrot just being adorable / Yandere behaviour / Slight suggestiveness / The Freak Circus is for 18+ only, Neko has expressed this multiple times please respect Neko's wishes and go away if you are under the age of 18.

Harlequin / Doctor / Ticket Taker / Jester / Columbina

Pierrot would honestly do anything for you. He would go to hell and back to make you proud of him, and would gladly go to any means necessary to get you what you wanted. In most cases he doesn’t even hesitate to do something. If you say jump he’ll ask how high, type of situation. 

I view Pierrot as a full fledged hand holder. There is something so intimate to him about holding your hand. They’re so much smaller compared to his and he can completely wrap one of his hands around both of yours. Sometimes when you are cold, he’ll use his hands to warm yours keeping them cocooned in his. If you ever need to get through a large crowd around the circus, Pierrot will hold your hand really tightly and help guide you through (well more like push people of of your way but yk, same thing)

Is a bear hugger. Every damn time he sees you, the first thing he does is tackle you and just swing you around with the tightest damn grip you swear he’s gonna break your back. Poor guy is just so happy to see his darling.

Speaking of hugs, if you allow him to stay the night with you he will flop on you with almost all his weight just like in the game. Why need a blanket when you have him to keep you warm. Surprisingly enough though, unlike his hugs, you can actually move around when he’s cuddling you in bed like this, if you need to get up, it's easy enough to just move his arm and ur free. Though he may follow you. And by may I mean will, he will follow you.

Pierrot sometimes doesn’t realise his own strength. He is VERY aware of how easily he could harm you, but sometimes his excitement and passion gets the best of him and he unintentionally can be a bit too rough when grabbing you. It's very rare, but it happens. And every time it happens even if you are in no pain or don’t even make notice - he will and just becomes a melting puddle of guilt.

This man is FASCINATED by cartoons. If you ask him why, he won;t know. But anytime you put on an animated show, he is sitting in front of the TV staring, unblinking at the screen. If there's music he’ll start popping or swaying along with it. If it's a rerun of a show you’ve shown him before, he’ll start quoting the show.

He once started quoting Bluey to you. Pierrot watched Bluey, the entirety of Bluey. According to him, an episode came on randomly when you were sleeping and he was fiddling with the TV and it hooked him. (this isn’t because i like Bluey. Shut up! it's a good show! Made me cry man that damn space episode… THEIR DOG CUBES WHY IS IT SO EMOTIONAL)

Pierrot can cook we all know this, if you ever wanted him to make you something he is ON IT! If he doesn't know how to make it, teach him! He would love nothing more than to learn from you, his beloved.

Breakfast in bed has become a tradition for him. If you allow him to stay with you or you join him in the circus, he will make you breakfast in bed as a surprise thank you gift for making him so happy. It was just supposed to be a one time thing, but the look on your face - the sparkle in your eye and the pure delight as you dig into the beautiful breakfast he made you, it became a very common thing. Sometimes he would ask you the night prior if you wanted anything in particular for breakfast in the morning. 

Never request cereal from him though - he will take offence. I don’t make the rules.

It is no secret that Pierrot is possessive. He follows us around from the shadows and is practically steaming from the ears if someone even looks at us with minor attraction. The few scenes in the official game shows us enough of just how bad he can actually be. Sure the Harlequin one was fair - but what the hell did this guy do to make DOCTOR scared of him?

As a result this makes him incredibly protective - Somehow Pierrot is always right there the moment you need him every single time. Someone being rude to you? BOOM he’s there; Did you trip up the curb? Oh look he’s caught you; Walking alone at night and feeling scared? Wow look now you can hold his hand! It's not because he stalks your every movement nooooooo.

Pierrot has really bad anger issues. Whilst he never shouts or has outbursts of anger: when alone he will break EVERYTHING in sight, whether by his own hands or throwing knives, something is getting broken. If it's feeding time, he will become almost feral when consuming his food. He will NEVER allow you to see this side of him - ever it would break him. As such he can never allow himself to be mad around you. Granted he won;t ever get mad AT you, he doesn’t have the heart for it to last more than a second. But other things irritate him to no end - a certain green goblin especially.

He loves taking pictures with you. Digital or polaroids, he constantly wants to make memories with you to just cement your face and being into his mind like a stone carving. So a photo is a great way to start! On your first official date, you asked to take a photo with him to remember the moment. He asked if you could make him a copy to keep, which you did. He now keeps that specific photo on his person at all times. He has so many more, but this one in particular he cherishes.

If it wasn't for his horns, Pierrot loves to be pet, it makes him feel like he did a good job. But unfortunately his horns prevent him from allowing you to pet him. Poor  thing is too scared you’ll run if you find out the truth. So he instead will let you rub his back whilst he nuzzles your neck, it's the closest thing he can get.

In order of most trusted to least trusted, if Pierrot had to leave for any reason, this is the order of how much he trusts someone to watch over you: Just take you with him (if safe); Ticket Taker, Jester/Doctor (depends on his mood); By Yourself; Your friends;  Strangers;  Satan; The depth of the abyss; Harlequin.

You could trust Harlequin, hell you may even view him as a friend - But to Pierrot, the world would burn first before he willingly trusted Harlequin alone with you.

Posting my Freak Circus voice HC's because how they sound in my head when playing the game is not how their voices (least for some of em) sound to me.

AKA I'm a dumbass and thought with no music in the main menu it would just have bg music and nothing else. So, it took like my third play through for me to finally pop those back on and get jump scared by voice lines.

SOOOO wanted to make a post to how they ended up sounding to me cus why not.

Pierrot: Since he doesn't get to use his voice too often and his whole thing is trying not to scare the MC, I think he doesn't speak loud but it's in no way meek. Def not the deepest of the group either, more like, the 3rd deepest? With Ticket taker and Doctor (in my head) being a bit further in the lower octave than his lands. Voice is definitely the softer spoken one of the group. A little whispy/raspy due to misuse, like If he were to speak beyond a certain volume I think that raspy quality would get more apparent. Maybe slightly accented since personally, I started reading his lines with a very slight french lit to it because of his name's origin (or at least the origin i could find). Though its only noticeable out when he's like either super excited or suuuuper distressed.

Harlequin: Fairly easy to nail down for me. Speaks with a purr, especially if he's intentionally trying to get in someones head/under their skin. Turns sharper and more of a hiss if he's thrown off his game or genuinely annoyed or pissed off. Mostly though his tone stays pretty playful. Also heavy Latino/Latin American accent- no I will not be taking questions or comments about this my opinions cannot be swayed. Also when he's not being a meanie and that genuine side comes out i think his voice becomes quite comforting and warm- just takes a hammer and chisel and a LOT of elbow grease to get there.

Doctor: As a surprise to no one I subscribe to heavy Russian accent doctor. I actually didn't realize prior to listening to the voiced acted AMA's (everyone thank Darth right NAOW) that it was a strong universal head canon so like IG water is wet? xD he's also the only one of the two circus members I actually have voice claims for. While its not one to one EXACT, doctor kind of sounds like a much deeper pitched and more unhinged Glaz from Rainbow 6 to me.

Ticket Taker: The second of the group that has the only voice claim and surprisingly clocked him real fast. It might be the way he holds himself and how "playful" he gets in the blue tent with the MC. I think the Cheshire cat from the game Alice: Madness Returns is actually the closest damn voice I've found that matches up in my head for him. Legit cannot read his text in game anymore without just reading it as that damn cat. Might still have to pitch it lower a dial or two but VC's are never 100% matches for me xD. OH and as a bonus, when he gets pissed off I think his voice gets layered over itself and its extremely difficult to pinpoint its true source location.

Jester: He was actually a bit difficult at first because he's the only one I didn't really have an immediate vibe for and had to go through the AMA's a bit to get a better read on him. Lightest pitch of the group, very Androgynous. Kinda monotone off stage but on stage it's very engaging storyteller quality. Towards the MC has as a tone that doesn't make you feel stupid, per se, but like your always one step behind. Not condescending, just knowing. In terms of accents I think he soaks up the local accent just as easy as he learns the language. Accents used to be CONSTANTLY shifting and had to just pick one and stick with it to get that too finally stop, but it slips sometimes, especially around Ticket Taker. BONUS: Has the problem of cycling through like, 5 different languages to find the word he's looking for. Both Pierrot and Harlequin have been scolded in more than one dialect for fighting for sure LMAO.

Neil on Queer Eye

The Foxes nominate Neil for Queer Eye and they show up and omg I’m dying. 😂😂😂

They all arrive in the middle of training. 

Nicky see’s them first and fucking screams so loud and drops his racquet and you better believe her nearly faints.

Kevin isn't happy about his practice being interrupted but even he knows Neil needs some serious help so he sucks it up.

Allison immediately starts informing Tan on how bad Neil's sense of style is. 

Tan is disgusted at all of Neil's hobo outfits but pretty impressed with the clothes Andrew picked out.

We all know Neil loves his foxes so Bobby redesigns the Foxes common area at the court making it look badass!

He also gives Neil some new shelves or whatever to help organize his school stuff because the boy is a mess. 

Antoni shows him how to make some sort of healthy meal and it shook when he finds out Neil lived off instant noodles for six months of something. 

Karamo learns more about Neil and his past and he learns how Neil loves his team and how much he loves the wall of photos so he sets him up a photo album/scrapbook thing. 

Jonathon is obsessed with Neil and flirting like he always does and of course he’s being glared at by Andrew.

He gives Neil tips and tricks for moisturising and which ones wont are best for his scars. 

He also gives him new hair products which are gonna make it healthier after all his dying it and stuff.

The big reveal is at a charity banquet or one of the Foxes birthday or something (idk?) and the foxes go crazy.

The Fab 5 all watch and they get emotional after learning about Neil's past and looking at how happy he is now. 

It’s one of the most popular episodes and Tumblr goes crazy obviously. 

As you can see I’ve become quite obsessed with the show and needed to combine the two. 

Part 2!

Harlequin Romantic Headcannons

WARNINGS: Harlequin being cocky / Mention of biting / Blood mentioned / The Freak Circus is for 18+ only, Neko has expressed this multiple times please respect Neko's wishes and go away if you are under the age of 18.

Pierrot / Doctor / Ticket Taker / Jester / Columbina

Harlequin you absolute diva. This man has near to zero shame when it comes to PDA. You two could be walking around the circus grounds and out of the corner of his beady little eyes, he’d spot someone looking over at you. And this green goblin would just grab hold of your waist and make out with you like it's a completely normal thing to do in a public place. Then shrug you off when you try to call him out on it.

It should come as nooooo surprise that this man is a teasing king. He knows it, his family knows it, you know it, the ants know it, everybody knows it. You better believe he will use his flirtatious hold on you to his advantage every chance he gets. He can be an ass about it though, sometimes he’ll take his words a bit too far and can make situations uncomfortable - although this is rare. And if you call him out on it, he will attempt to avoid the same situation again.

He will bite you, all the god damn time. Doesn’t matter why, he will bite you, and he loves it every time. One he does it to tell everyone that you are his, and you best believe he does it in an obvious spot. Two he also does it as a way to annoy you, he knows you hate it, and he loves that you hate it cuz it gets you all flustered. Though he will never bite you hard. It’s hard enough to make a mark but not hard enough to make it hurt like the devil more of a pin prick. Just OW oh okay that's fine.

The one thing Pierrot and Harlequin can both agree on is they hate sharing. Period

Harles doesn’t trust Pierrot, Pierrot doesn’t trust Harlequin. Do they care for each other? Deep down yes, they won’t admit it to themselves but they do have a small amount of care in them despite everything. Unlike Pierrot however, Harlequin does enjoy anytime you interact with Pierrot because it's a golden ticket to annoy him, will you scold him for it later? maybe, is it worth it? 100% he gets to see Pierrot cracked. 10/10 will do it again.

He is very very possessive over you. Whilst he isn’t obsessive like Pierrot would be or down right ownership dynamic like Jester: He does want you all to himself a lot of the time. He has had to share, fight and claw his way for everything he’s ever had. Always second best never first, and because of that it made him weary of losing what he does have. 

As a result, Harlequin tends to go into his shell a lot of the time when he’s feeling overwhelmed by his own mind. This causes him to say meaner things than he normally would, his rebuttals to your comments are sharper than normal, and he’ll distance himself until he knows he won’t hurt you in a way he can’t take back.

Now Harles is not the best when it comes to personal feelings. Or just feelings in general, he’s had to box them away for so long he doesn’t know how to bring them back out again. Just be patient with him. When he gets there he may not ask for comfort or words, sometimes he will just come and sit in the same room as you, just being in your presence and feeling you there next to him is enough. 

As for comforting you, he's at a loss. Again he is not good with comforting words, he can read you for filth or make your heart so flustered it's gonna explode from a single word. But seeing you hurt, or crying,  it cracks him. This is one of the few times he will allow you to initiate physical touch over him doing it. Since he is painfully aware he can’t use his words to help, he’ll let you hug him like a squishmellow until you feel better. If you fall asleep on him when your emotions become too much, he won’t move, he will still be right where you left him when you wake up. Though I'd recommend letting him go quite quickly. Man can only take so much.

However, Harles ADORES to touch you, his hand running up and down your back, turning your chin to look at him, tracing your neck with his claws to get reactions out of you, just anything he can do to make you flustered. It’s something he relishes in, being able to have you all to himself from just a touch. 

If you attempt to return this affection however and touch him, brain shut down. Harles doesn't dislike touch, he loves it! But he doesn't quite know how to process it. Much like Jester he’s only had negative experiences with it so he becomes defensive. That being said, if you do touch him, he’ll shake off the feeling and instead force a smirk and flip the script, grabbing your hand and holding them away from him so he can be back in the lead again.

Cuddling with Harlequin is a tricky situation to reach. But once he gets out of his lil gremlin bubble, he is a cuddle monster, he’ll hate it whenever you bring it up - The moment you reach out for him to cuddle you, he's diving in like an Olympic diver. He’ll wrap his arms around you and hold you against his chest whilst leaning back against the sofa, the bed wherever you are and just rub circles on your back. If you know about his tendrils and are comfortable with them, he will wrap them around your legs or waist: Not in a sexual way but as a comforting way, he feels closer to you like this than he does just using his ‘human’ arms.

Harlequin can’t cook for nothing and he will throw a fit if you ask him to make you something. In fact he hates ‘manual labour’ in general, he is a performer darling, an actor, and entertainer. He doesn’t clean dishes. But when you give him… that look… He’ll clean yeah sure no problem right away! Please don’t throw your shoe. Still hates it though. Cooking's Pierrot's thing.

It's no secret that EVERY circus member would kill for their partner, even Ticket Taker: I mean Pierrot literally did kill for mc. Though all of them have their own methods. In Harlequins case, he isn’t going to off someone just because they were rude to you, he will side eye them real hard and throw in a snarky comment to make them feel as small as an atom. But if they physically hurt you? Different story. Pierrot would kill someone quickly, brutally but quickly. Harlequin will make it slow, methodical, purposeful, painful - if he can draw it out, he will. Man doesn’t f around when it comes to those he cares for.

Doctor Romantic Headcannons

WARNINGS: Doctor birb energy / Blood mentioned / Mentions of violence / experimenting /The Freak Circus is for 18+ only, Neko has expressed this multiple times please respect Neko's wishes and go away if you are under the age of 18.

Pierrot / Harlequin / Ticket Taker / Jester / Columbina

Doctor is a night owl through and through. I’ve mentioned this before and imma mention it again. He hates the sun and will almost never go out in it unless he has to. Ticket Taker calls for him as an example. Other than that, he remains in his tent where it is dark, it is quiet, there are no distractions, no messes to clean up, no fights to break up, just him and his work. So, whenever you visit his tent as a surprise, it does make his day less gloomy. You are the only light he allows in his life and he’s keeping it that way.

However if the two of you are walking somewhere together, you’ll never have to worry about something happening. You will never feel in danger around him, he’s your safe space and he prides himself on this. 

He’s intimidating as all hell and the way stands completely straight, even when walking. Very unnerving. This man is a 7ft plague doctor built like a brick wall. No one's trying something unless they are incredibly stupid. You’ll feel completely fine, heck you may not even notice.

Doctor isn’t a hand holder in my eyes, does he like to hold your hand? Yes but not in the usual, walking down the street, look at us, way. He’ll take your hands in his whenever you are sitting together and he will just examine your hand, gently moving your fingers with his to watch them move; or if you are cold he’ll hold your hands in his and lightly rub them together, he’s naturally very warm so it's like a mini fireplace.

Arm linker, that's what I think the Doctor is, and I think he gets that from a mix of Ticket Taker, and the plague doctor outfit he styles himself in. If for any reason you are just walking around the circus grounds with him - usually when it's darker outside - he’ll offer his arm for you to hold, he’ll do this when leading you out of his tent as well. He loves it if you lean on him when walking like this as well.

Will listen to heavy metal with you. If you start playing System of a Down to him, this man will lock in to whatever he’s working on. It's like a switch, one minute he’s having a nice conversation with you whilst he’s looking over a ‘previous patient's blood work’ then you put the music on? His shoulders relax and he gains this focused energy about him. It's quite nice watching him work like this. Don’t worry, he’ll still be listening if you are talking to him, he just won’t respond as often.

As your Doctor, he cares about your health and well-being above all else, this also includes your safety. 

If for any reason, you do not feel safe, contact him, go to him, talk to him. He’ll sort it out, cleaning up ‘messes’ is something he’s good at. If it's something to do with your surroundings and not people, he’ll walk around with you till that feeling goes away. Doctor has walked you home during the night before. But if it's another person? His eyes will change to red - That's the only sign you get he's pissed off. He’ll keep you near Ticket Taker, or direct you to one of the other shows, whilst he goes and ‘talks’ to this person. When he returns to you, his eyes will be back to normal and he’ll start rambling about a new experiment he tried whilst you were gone, and he will go into great detail, if you want him to.

Will he ask to perform experiments on you? Yes, are they dangerous? no, Will they hurt you? God no! He reserves those for ‘special’ patients. You are special in a different way to him. No, the experiments he conducts on you are harmless, he’s fascinated by every part of you, so he loves to see how your body reacts to things. He likes to stimulate your mind, get you to think as well so he’ll often throw a problem he’s having your way and get your view on it. 

Every single time, you visit him, doesn’t matter if you are just there to say hi before you go somewhere, EVERY TIME he will stop you and place his hand on your chest to feel your heartbeat, yes he knows the pressure points are easier, yes his stethoscope is directly behind him. Does he care? no. He will do this, every. single. goddamn. time. If you ask why, he shushes you and just stays there before moving back like nothing happened, he’ll never answer why he does it. Think on that one yourselves.

Collector birb, he loves collecting things, may his skull collection rest in peace. So if you collect things? Now you both collect things, Doctor will help you fill in any gaps in your collection and loves to give you little trinkets from his! He trusts you and knows you’ll take care of whatever he gives you. And sometimes what he gives you is um… questionable. But if you could see the smile on his face when he gives you an original pear of anguish - you may rethink throwing it at him. (Though if someone gave me that my historical brain would start doing backflips cuz thats cool as hell)

Doctor does enjoy touch, not to the same extent as Pierrot, and he won’t engage in touch as much as Harlequin. But every time he does touch you, it's meaningful, purposeful. A hand on your cheek, cuddling you into his lap, wrapping his cloak around you whenever you’re cold. I already mentioned the heart thing. He isn’t clingy but you’ll know he’s always got you in mind. 

He does love holding your waist whenever you are standing in front of him, he’s especially fond if you put your hands on his chest whilst talking to him. It's surprisingly intimate yet very natural for the two of you. Doctor also carries you a lot, Usually it's the bridal carry, sometimes he’ll perch you on his shoulders like a bird (role reversal?) But usually the first one. And he’ll do it randomly too.

He can read you like a book. Every emotion, every minor adjustment, every movement, he knows you inside and out nothing gets past him. If you are feeling upset he will know about it and don’t lie to him he hates that. He may be your ‘Doctor’ but you are his darling and he will take care of you mentally and physically. That's his job, literally. 

Doctor has a sense of humour, it's dryer than my social life, but it's there! We even saw him attempt to make a joke during the game. And though being funny isn’t his thing, he does attempt to make you laugh sometimes. Usually it's to see how you react when he says something off hand or out of character, though sometimes it is also just for his own amusement in seeing u chuckle.

(This originally was double the length it is now… i had to cut a thought, or ten. Can you tell he's my favrouit? Is it that obvious? Nahhhhhhh)

[shiny-kaibernyte]

Helloooo ๑•͈ᴗ•͈๑ How are you doing this lovely day?

I would just like to ask for a romantic hc abt The Freak Circus and how they would react to an artist MC who likes painting portraits of them in different settings, outfits, and styles!

Reading this, i started picturing the MC having a Xavier art shed from Wednesday of their circus partner and it made me giggle.

TFC: The Cast with an Artist Reader

WARNINGS: The Freak Circus is for 18+ only, Neko has expressed this multiple times please respect Neko's wishes and go away if you are under the age of 18.

❤️Pierrot❤️

Pierrot already has enough reasons to love and obsess over you. Just breathing in this man's general direction makes him love drunk. So finding out you are an artist? And you draw him none the less? He is gone, Pierrot.exe has stopped working, On the floor in just a puddle of mushy happiness.

He would have so many questions. Do you have an art room? What's your favourite style of art? Do you like water colours? Can he see some of your art works? Can you draw him? 

If you offer to draw him, or finally give in to his puppy dog eyes after the millionth time of him pleading - Pierrot turns into a damn statue, pose him however you want no matter how uncomfortable that pose is to hold; he will hold it with perfect precision every time. 

Show him your art, just do it because if you don’t he’ll find it anyway. Going through your art with him is one of his favourite things to do with you, he loves listening to you talk about each piece - hearing the passion and devotion you put behind every work. Even the ones you think negatively of or believe you could have done better. Pierrot wants to hear every detail.

He tried to paint you once, it wasn’t actually that bad - he made an absolute mess of your studio but it was actually a really nice gift.

💚Harlequin💚

To begin with Harlequin doesn’t actually take notice of your art. Does he register that you are doing it? Yes, does he give ur work a look over a few times? He does. Will he actually register any of it? Nope. This man's brain is smooth half the time - he can't process more than one thought at a time if he hasn’t thought of it in advance. So if you draw him and don’t tell him, he won’t even register its him on the paper. Just a green speckled cucumber blob to him.

Now if you TELL HIM you are an artist and out right show him to his face that you are drawing him. It's like you gave him glasses and he's seeing the world for the first time. Because now he is invested. In his own way at least. Harles may not be too keen if you ask to draw him outright, he’ll get all fidgety and can't hold a pose to save his life. So you’d need to catch him when he’s focused or working.

Suddenly he's conveniently looking over your shoulder when you are the most focused. Your paint water mysteriously got cleaned during a particularly detailed focused section. When did your chalks get cleaned? And didn’t you have another finished canvas on your wall earlier?

In his own way, Harlequin shows how much he appreciates your work and admires your skills by making things easier without actually telling you he's doing it. But you know. He thinks you don’t but you do. And yes you have caught him stealing ur art straight from your studio. He was like a deer in headlights, just frozen in place holding the evidence before just yeeting himself out the window before u could say anything.

🖤Doctor🖤

Doctor is an interesting case. He didn’t find out you were an artist over time oh no. He figured it out the day you met: The stubborn paint under your nails, the chalk dust on your clothes, the slight discolouration of your skin from cleaning charcoal off. Nothing got past him during that examination. He’ll tell you he saw the creative sparkle in your eye if you ask him how he knew. 

Bird man has been waiting since day one to see your work, so the day you finally offer to show him your studio and work, he is more than eager to follow. Doctor will listen and examine every art work in the most calculated way possible. Arms folded behind his back, mask tiled to the side staring at one piece after another. Moving alone each one as you talk like a professional art inspector.

Don’t worry he isn’t actually judging, Doctor is just heavily invested in deciding which one is his favourite that it comes off as him judging the work. He never actually ends up deciding. If you have any work for him though? That's when he’ll finally say something and that something is the word “interesting” which translates to: “you love me ;-; you really love me”

Doctor is the most caring when it comes to handling your supplies and work, he treats them like his surgical instruments - with the utmost care. These are your life's work, he wouldn’t expect you to start throwing his work around so why would he disrespect yours? He’ll restock your supplies when you are low, he will help move canvas around, clean up any unwanted mess. He understands creative chaos so won’t touch any of that mess, only what you ask him to.

💙Ticket Taker💙

This is Ticket, you think he doesn’t already know you're an artist? Bil is the most interested when it comes to you being an artist, but not in the same way as the others. In fact he would much rather know about the reasoning behind each piece than ogling and admiring the details.

Ticket finds value in the finer things but he also has a soft spot for history and facts. He could listen to you talk about your work and how they came to be for hours. Whilst he isn’t the most intrigued watching you work - he’ll often work with you creative flowing in the corner as you talk to him about your pieces. 

You have NEVER had to ask this man to get you supplies, it's like he can read your mind. Paintbrushes cleaned and organised, fresh charcoal, watercolours are filled, chalks decontaminated. Bil has fixed your tools before, a screw loose in the easel, fixing a bent leg on your stool. Whatever keeps you in that creative flow. Sometimes you wonder how he finds that time.

He HATES it if you paint him, especially without asking him. Is he flattered? Yes, he is! You put work into this. But he does not like the idea of his mask being immortalised. Bil won’t make you toss or destroy the work though - he’ll just ask no one but him, gets to see it.

Sometimes when he’s working with Jester, he’ll tell him about some of your works. It actually becomes a common topic between the two sometimes you’ll get Bil requesting something on Jesters behalf.

💜Jester💜

If Bil knows, Jester knows. The definition of art critique, Jester is judging you after every brush stroke. Looking over your shoulder, silently observing you from his various lounging spots. It can be uncomfortable but it's his way of not scaring you off. Jester is a lover of all things art, he is a performer darling a PERFORMER! And he doesn’t just love the stage, he loves all forms of art, music, acting, puppeteer, painting the works.

Sometimes he can be very judgemental when you ask him for criticism. He will give harsh unfiltered criticism and sometimes they hurt. Flick some paint at him or throw one of your charcoals at him. He won’t take it too personally.

On the opposite note, on the works you have finished, he is an admirer, he’ll criticise whilst you work because it's something you can use and get value out of. But once you finish, he becomes an observer again silently scanning your work over a few times. 

Jester has one of two reactions to you drawing him. 1) You didn’t ask him and wanted to surprise him- now you are faced with his disapproving stare. 2) You ask to paint him and he enters fashion model mode. Jester is much like Bil in which hes would rather be asked than just have a painting of him thrusted in his face.

Whilst he isn’t the best at complimenting, his eyes and body language say enough for him when he's watching you work. Don’t expect him to restock your supplies though. He’ll instinctively make notes of what you need, but won’t get it himself, man's busy enough as it is.

🩷Columbina🩷

Oh boy, when she finds out you are an artist, She is OVER the moon! Columbina is working right alongside you. I can see her as someone who loves painting her feelings. She has so many bottled away so this is her way of letting them out. Through art darlings.

She loves doing those art challenges with you. The swapping every so many minutes, blindfolded the works if you find one she wants to do! Her favourite one to do is the unique style where you both draw the same thing in your own styles and compare, she loves the differences you both share whilst still having the same passion.

If you have your work displayed, she has stars and sparkles in her eyes as she gleefully looks over each piece asking a million questions or telling you how amazing your work and you are. 

Stocking supplies, she wants to come! Columbina likes to come with you whenever you go for supply runs. She likes looking at all the cute pens art stores sell, she has so many but never uses them. But you don’t mind her using one of your pots to store them in. I mean they are pretty cute.

Ticket Taker Romantic Headcannons

WARNINGS: Ticket hating everyone / Control dynamic / The Freak Circus is for 18+ only, Neko has expressed this multiple times please respect Neko's wishes and go away if you are under the age of 18.

Pierrot / Harlequin / Doctor / Jester / Columbina

Ticket is a gentleman at heart, he’ll always open doors for you, or lift the flap of a tent up; fix your clothes; pull out your chair; have you hold onto his arm; the whole nine yards. And whilst he is a gentleman to everyone, most of the time. With you he amps it up to max.

That being said Bil follows a strict schedule - he is a busy busy man, his hands are constantly full and his head as always racing so having this schedule keeps him somewhat sane. And as a result he expects you to fit your stuff around his schedule as well. He isn’t just gonna throw his schedule onto you and say figure it out. No no no, he will move things around so both of you can have ample time together and you don’t start thinking he’s forgotten about you.

Just remember he is holding the circus together by the seam of the tents and he does need time to himself to work. This mans a workaholic and that won’t change with you. Work is how he gains control of situations, so if he feels he’s losing control, he slips back into his work. There's no pulling him out, not unless he’s about to knock himself out from how hard he’s headbutting his desk.

He loves to style you, clothes are something he prides himself in - the elegance they bring. Clothes are the first impression after all. So he always wants to make sure you look your best as he always does. 

Hand kisser, its simple, its gentlemanly, its traditional. Whenever you two part ways, he’ll place a gentle kiss on your knuckles and bow his hat to you before taking his leave. A quick but meaningful gesture. 

He is not a grand man, Ticket would much rather help in small ways than lavish declarations of love. It's much more convenient to wake up to a nice clean set of clothes, the washing done, and a nice breakfast. That's what he does, keeps things neat for you both, but he does expect you to maintain the standards he’s upholding.

I can see him as the type of person to know what a forever flower is and give you one of those on your birthday or valentines day, and its always a different one, he keeps track of which ones to get and when. Don’t ask where he got the money from, It’s not from selling tickets… 

Ticket hates humans, that's a fact. Does he find them interesting? Yes he does, but he does not enjoy their company and merely puts up with them to maintain his family's presentation. Except you, you're intriguing to him and that draws him to you. Bil enjoys your company quite a lot actually, more than he cares to admit, even deep into your relationship he won’t admit just have much he seeks you out.

Speaking of seeking you out. When he’s stressed, which is a lot, he will call for you. He’ll have you either just sit in the room with him and talk to him - Not a conversation literally talk at him, anything doesn’t matter just talk. OR he’ll set you on his lap and rub your arm to centre himself, as he talks to himself about what he’s doing. 

Hates loud noises, yelling, rowdiness, unnecessary noise - anything like that bothers him to no end. So he is very fond of quiet moments with you, sitting with you reading a book watching rain pour. Engaging in a nice conversation over a simple meal together. Things like that, simple, charming, clean.

Organisation maniac. Everything is perfectly organised. Usually alphabetical and yes he will organise your stuff at first it's impulsive - but if you have your own system, he’ll learn it and start doing that. But if his stuff goes unorganized, he’ll crack and he will not be able to focus until it's fixed. Bil has left you very abruptly with an excuse me, to go fix whatever's bothering him.

Mirrors everywhere. Bil’s mirrors in his tent are special, he can travel through them like doors and use them as a way to tell a story, as he did with Columbian and the broken mirror. So when your relationship became serious, Ticket took one of his spare mirrors and placed it into your home so he could have an easier way to reach you whenever.

Everything he does is calculated and thought out, nothing is accidentally. Take the broken mirror, he placed that there on purpose, he wanted you to look at it, and that's exactly what you did. Bil knows exactly what he is doing, and he knows how to move the chessboard in his favour - No matter how hard you try, you’ll almost always end up doing what he wants. Sometimes you can flip the script but most of the time, not a chance.

He loves control, he loves knowing you rely on him. The way he knows how his touch lingering longer than normal will get you turning for him. Bil lives for the feelings of being the one pulling the strings, the man behind the curtain. Every touch, every word, its all perfectly controlled to make you weak for him.

One of the few circus members to actively go out in public with you. Ticket has no issue with walking around the streets with you, he enjoys walks with you, having you hold onto his arm whilst conversing is a pleasant change of pace. Plus it makes looking for potential ‘fools’ easier.
