-At first, affection is a hard concept for Thragg to grasp
-What was the point of caressing our bodies against each other? What is the point of touching our lips together? None of this provides anything to the breeding process!
-The first time Thragg kisses you is after viewing a piece of Earth media, or a “movie”. The male human character informs the female human that he loves her and kisses her.
-He’s not gonna tell you he loves you….. but he will try the kissing part
-Thragg forcefully grabs your skull with hands that practically engulf your head. It doesn’t hurt but it’s uncomfortable being held like this. His brown eyes never leaving yours. He surprisingly gently kisses his lips to yours. His lips were soft and warmer than yours. He lets you go and goes back to his throne to think about what he just did. It felt…. Good….
-In the beginning, Thragg used kissing only to initiate sex. After a while, he will kiss you during sex under the guise of: “providing stimulation during intercourse”.
-Both inside and outside of the bedroom, he takes care of you. “It’s only natural for a Viltrumite to protect their mate from potential harm.”
-He orders the slaves and servants to nourish you and provide adequate care for you. Hungry? He orders them to make you food that tastes weird but provides 100% of your nutritional needs. Need entertainment? He provides you with over 500 terabytes of Viltrumite data regarding the exploration and conquering of other planets.
-He gives you better food and entertainment after watching human movies and other media. It took a while to find a recipe that the cooks could make for “pizza”. A traditional dish of humanity.
How do you think the viltrumites would react to Valentine's Day?
First time they heard about it, they pretty much had the same reaction: another nonsensical, frivolous thing humans do. Humans seem to want to give and receive gifts as much as they can and Viltrumites just??? Don't really get that. Also, yet another celebration that has a religious name but has nothing to do with religion? Bizarre but, at this point, not unexpected.
But we all know how fast they fold so, over time, all of them grew interested in it. Some more some less, but they all celebrate it in a way or another.
You'd think Kregg would be ecstatic about such a celebration, since he loves love so much. But no. It stresses him out to no end because he has too many partners and he can't be with all of them at the same time and humans are very strict on celebrating Valentine's day on the 14th of February so. It's a mess.
He has a list of his partner, for most to least interested in Valentine's Day. The ones who expressed they don't really care about it just get some chocolates and flowers delivered to their door, each with their own letter that filled with affection and appreciation.
Going up in the list, there'd be ones that care but not that much. Those that would be okay celebrating on another day, and he'd do that. He would still send them gifts, but he would make sure to have a nice, romantic dinner with them a few days later.
For the ones that care the most about it, he would do anything to make his schedule fit theirs. Flying around the globe and changing clothes along the way to make sure to be presentable - only having a few hours to spare with each of them. He has learnt how to use the timezones to his favor, but it's still like running a marathon for him.
Having booked each of their favorite restaurants months in advance, booking musicians if available (and if his partners like them, of course), having the tables specially decorated with flowers and candles. Going above and beyond to have them enjoy their time together as, unfortunately, it's not as much as any of them would like.
Lucan would do something similar - but in the comfort of home. He'd take the day off without his partner knowing, kissing them goodmorning and having a bouquet delivered to their place of work with a simple note.
His partner would come home to a surprise though, and they'd notice the moment they'd open the door. The only lights come from the kitchen, alongside the scent of some delicious food. The livingroom would be decorated in a simple yet tender way, and Lucan would have made his partner quite a banquet. All of their favorite foods made and served just for them to enjoy, music in the background to create an even more intimate atmosphere.
And afterwards Lucan would be preparing them a warm bath, the bathroom dimly lit by scented candles. He wouldn't join his partner unless asked, but he'd stay there, giving them shoulder massages and getting them all cozied up.
A Valentine's day with Thula would be a busy one. If her partner agrees to it, she'd have the whole day planned. Starting with breakfast together at their favorite spot, then a walk to the museum of the city that had just changed some installations. Then it would be time for lunch - and she'd have a spot reserved, making sure they had some sort of tasting menu for Valentine's Day.
Then it's time to go ice skating, spending a few hours on the ice and enjoying the warm beverages from the nearby cafés. Then it's time for a romantic dinner with live music, where Thula made sure to bribe the musicians to have them dedicate her partner's favorite love song to them. It would be a long, maybe even tiring day, but one in which Thula would make sure to show her parnter how much she values their time together.
Anissa would use Valentine's day as an excuse for a small vacation. Nothing too fancy, just a little retreat away with her partner for a couple of days. Something different every year - once in a cottage that was way too hard to reach by car, once in an enormous tent that was way too accessorized to be a tent (that's how she learnt about glamping). Each year Anissa and her partner would always follow the same rules for their Valentine's retreat: no internet, no cellphones, nothing but the two of them and some corny DVDs. And, most importantly, a polaroid camera.
They'd spend the days going on hikes or having pic-nics outside (as long as the weather favors them), cooking together and sometimes even trying to fish and cook on a makeshift campfire. Collecting memories, undisturbed by the rest of the world and universe alike.
Only in the days afterwards, usually the weekend, there they'd sit together and add the polaroid pics of that year to their Valentine photo book, writing notes and funny things that happened as they enjoyed their time together.
Thragg would be competitive with himself on gifts. While he would probably start with just a bouquet of red roses and a box of chocolates, year by year things would be more abundant, as he'd more or less subconsiously try to one up himself.
On the second year it would be a bigger bouquet, a wider selection of refined chocolates, a dinner in a francy restaurant.
By the fifth it would be two days away in a spa, a few massages booked, their room always filled with fresh, red roses and rose petals on their bed. A private chef hired to have his partner eat the best delicacies in the continent, and some wonderful clothes tailored just for the occasion.
And he would keep going bigger and bigger as long as his partner leaves him unchecked, wondering how one can top such a Valentine's Day.
I wrote this without reading the comics so if this is OOC for Thragg… oh well ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡
-You probably got his attention by either 1. Being extremely strong or 2. Being extremely fertile. Im going with option 1!
-Your strength intrigued him, he knew if you two fucked, you’d give him strong children, maybe even stronger than a pure-bred Viltrumite.
-You decided to not make the Viltrumite empire your enemy and you couldn’t help but find Thragg attractive~
-He was a lil surprised (and turned on) by how willing you were to be his breeding mate.
-You’re taken to Thraxa after he took it over and are introduced to all of his other breeding mates…
-The Thraxan doctors have your ovaries under a microscope 24/7 due to Thragg’s thirst to have you impregnated.
-Turns out you’re not as compatible with Viltrumite DNA as Thraxans are, so you convince him that he needs to put all of his DNA and time into you. As your potential offspring would be much stronger and live longer than the Thraxan-Viltrumite halfbreeds he’s been making.
-Next thing you know, you’re the only female he sleeps with now. It will take many many many times to get you pregnant after all.
-His libido is out of this world, he’s ready to go 25/8 and he would be going all day every day if it wasn’t your own tiredness.
-Originally he found this annoying, how you’d stop the fucking, have one of the servants bring food and drinks then would sleep for hours instead of being his impregnable fleshlight.
-He’d learn to wait for you to wake up, he’d lay in bed next to you watching you sleep and grew… to like it….
-He began seeing your needs as important too, not just his and the empire’s.
-He gets frustrated with himself when he realizes he’s beginning to feel the same “weakness” and affinity for the “lower lives of the universe” that his underlings had.
-He WANTS to kill you, to destroy this weakness, he needs to be strong for the empire… you’re supposed to only be his breeding mate after all.
-While he’s thinking about killing you, you’re almost killed by another alien and he finds myself protecting you. No one else is allowed to kill you, only he is! (He’s not gonna do it)
-He finds himself staring at you after you two fucked, you’re sleeping peacefully and he raises a hand to try to quickly kill you. You roll over, feeling his arm missing from your grasp and cuddle into his chest… he can’t do it, he lowers his arm and wraps it around you.
-When you do finally get pregnant, his protection and yandere-ness gets stronger.
-You won’t be able to leave the palace without him by your side, servants are with you 24/7 for whatever you may need.
-You guide his head to your baby bump and with his sonic hearing, he can hear the baby move and kick around inside of you.
-Yeah… he loves you…. He even loves that lil baby in you despite never meeting them.
-he hates how stupid and uncontrollable he feels when he realizes he truly loves you.
-His thoughts are consumed by you and your child now
ABSOLUTELY, assuming Reader is human here and Thragg is AMAB but if you want something different just let me know 🙂↕️
First of all, he would not misgender you. The moment you introduce yourself/are introduced to him as a man, he would not question it and go with the pronouns and name you gave him, even if you were to be feminine presenting or androgynous looking.
But then, man you'd have to be patient with him. Viltrumites carry quite a lot of internalized homophobia and see feelings as a weakness, so in the beginning you'd have to deal with a Thragg that does not understand why he's attracted to you, why he cares about you. He shouldn't, an yet he does.
And you'd have to deal with him staring at you as if he'd want to kill you - because in part he does. You're a man, you have no right to make him feel the way he does about you. And yet he can't bring himself to kill you nor to stay away from you, so you'd have to put up with him acting passive-aggressive (and full on aggressive from time to time) towards you for quite a while, and yet you couldn't get rid of him even if you tried.
Alongside that, Viltrumites proably never cared about the difference between gender and sex before coming to Earth, and you'd have to be the one to explain it to him when you decide to let him know you're FTM. He does not lack in intelligence, tho, and you'd only have to have the conversation once. Him just nodding along and understanding that transitioning simply means aligning one's mind and body - a way to better yourself in a way, he believes, so he sees it as a positive thing.
He would be interested in the medical aspect of it - Viltrumites have advanced medical techniques and yet lack procedures for gender-affirming surgeries of any kind because that's simply something they never did. So, if you had any done, he'd ask you to explain them to him in detail just out of sheer curiosity.
If you did have any surgeries that left visible scars on your body, he would want to see them, trace them with his eyes and fingers alike. Those scars and the others you might have on your body fascinates him. His skin and those of his people is always pristine, only left scarred when debilitated by the virus - but on your skin they're a sign of resilience. The ones unrelated to the surgeries are a sign of the fact that you have survived injuries, they all have stories to tell. The ones relating to your transition are a testament of the fact that you went and seeked physical pain to change yourself to be who you truly are - something he has come to learn not all humans are keen to do, as they usually avoid pain at all costs.
And if you don't already, he would try and convince you to sport a mustache once he's grown fond of you, finally seeing you not just as a human but as someone that he cherishes, and is strong in his own way. 'Cause making him care for you at all isn't an easy feat, he recognizes that, and yet you somehow managed. And that takes a hella lot of strenght, albeit not physical one.
If, god-forbid, someone were to intentionally misgender you in his presence, the look he'd give them would make them shit their pants. He would also calmly speak to them, but only if you give him some sort of signal that he's allowed to intervene. Because as much as he'd like to tear apart anyone that disrespects you in any way, shaper or form, he knows you're capable of handling yourself and you don't need him to always defend you. And he likes that, the fact that you can hold your own.
Delving into NSFW territory here, placing a warning so you can stop reading if you want!
Coming back to the scars - oh how he loves to run his fingers on them and kiss them as you two fuck, if you'll let him.
Because as much as he isn't one for words - you'll rarely have him compliment you or whisper you sweet words - you'll be able to tell how much he adores your body and all its little imperfections. His eyes drinking you in, almost making you uncomfortable by just how much he stares at you, how long he takes to savor every detail of your body and committ it to memory. And how his hands find the parts of your body that you don't really like, the ones you feel insecure about, treating them with such care and gentleness that he'll slowly force you to like them simply by the sheer reverence he gives them.
If you don't have bottom surgery, that's where he might make you uncomfortable at least once. Because if he understands that he could get you pregnant, he'd ask you to. Both because he would want kids with you, but also simply because he's unaware of what kinks are until you teach him, but he does have a raging breeding kink.
And if you agree, good. If you don't, maybe he'll scowl for a moment but he'll get over that quickly and respect your choice - although he'd still ask you if you could pretend to breed.
And here is where you could play a uno reverse card and suggest that he could be the one getting pregnant, were you to give in to his breeding kink. And that would leave him both confused and very, very curious, and open up an ocean of possibilities.
Bottom surgery or not, you'd have quite a ride when he goes down on you. He is big and can hold his breath for a long, long time - so if you have a cock or not it doesn't matter. He can get all of you in his mouth for minutes - hours if you'll let him, his mouth and tongue getting better and better at pleasing you every time he pleases you. Because he takes notice of how your body moves and how many time you groan or curse or call out his name, he's attentive and keeps track of all the things that you like and he will make good use of them.
And note - he's a Regent. He does not kneel for anybody but for you, although most of the times (if you'll let him) he'll either pick you up and seat you on his shoulders, or crawl between your thighs as you lay down. And he'll be staring into your sould whenever he can, because he just loves the view.
Since the viltrumites are getting into pop culture, has anyone commented on Thragg looking like Freddy Mercury? If so, what was this reaction?
Humans are instinctively too afraid of his presence to say anything about his appearence to him directly - this includes his weird resemblance to Freddie Mercury.
Most Viltrumites didn't really notice. They're used to the buzz cut + mustache combo so, to them, it isn't unusual. Lots of humans probably sport that, right? And they're not really aware of the cultural impact Queen had (and have) on people, so it's not something they felt they needed up with the Grand Regent or anyone else.
Kregg, Thula and Lucan did notice. And they're some of the most versed in human culture, so it didn't take long for them to meet and discuss it.
Lucan was the one who brought up the topic, and other two almost instantly agreed that they really, really should give Thragg an heads up about it.
Lucan and Kregg would really like to go into details into the story of Queen and Freddie Mercury's relevance in the history of music and queer culture, while Thula would like to no-bullshit him and just tell him he looks like a famous human man.
What style of clothing would thragg wear on earth in your opinion?
Generally, I think he'd understand quickly the importance that clothes hold on Earth - they're the most visual way in which humans express themselves and people judge others for what they wear. Even in Viltrumite society clothes express things - power and ranks being the most important ones, obviously, but assuming his goal on Earth wouldn't be to look as powerful and royal as he usually is, he'd have to tone down significantly.
If he'd have to pick clothes for himself at the beginning, i think he'd dress pretty similarly to what he'd use on Viltrum - minus the skirt because he understands that's something that's mostly used by females on Earth. And the cape for obvious reasons.
He'd stick to colors and cuts he's used to: whites and grays and reds, and mostly just turtlenecks and jeans or trousers, everything pretty tight.
He wouldn't be big on accessories, only wearing long coats in winter to keep up the pretense of being a human and feeling the cold as they do.
Over time I think he'd develop a taste for sports gear because of the mobility it gives him. He'd start wearing them on a daily basis and he'd be way more comfortable in sweatpants or even leggings and compression shirts.
With even more time he'd develop a taste for silken shirts and airy materials that fit him more loosely, still sticking to a lighter color palette but adding maybe some beiges and creams.
I think he'd also develop a liking for wearing clothes that subtly show his strenght. He wouldn't go around without a shirt, but he'd wear a linen shirt with a couple buttons left open and the sleeves rolled up enough to show his forearms.
He'd also start to accessorize just the tiniest bit, mostly with different shoes and wirstwatches. I don't think he'd be big on hats, gloves and scarves because he'd have no use for them, but he'd be curious about fur coats. He'd get maybe one or two because they vaguely remind him of his cape but he'd rarely use them as he'd quickly come to learn they're generally frowned upon by humans - and he wouldn't buy fake fur ones because they don't replicate that feeling.
pls pls pls i beg of you i love ur takes on thragg and I would love to see more thragg headcanons!!! especially fluffy ones abt him accepting that he has feelings/how he’d behave in a relationship. thank u so much for the work you do!!!
Brushing my hands like a fly
It would take a while for Thragg to actually fall for someone, and that’s his biggest problem. Because the moment those feeling have wormed up inside him, caving their way into his stupid heart slow and steadily, it’s over for him.
The moment Thragg realizes he’s liking someone he’d be angry. He would skip over most of the denial phase, maybe only spending a few minutes trying to convince himself that he does not have a crush before accepting that he does and then trying to plan how to act accordingly.
He would try in any way to distance himself emotionally, clamping up on his feelings because they’re a weakness and he can’t afford to be weak, right? But he’d fail miserably, ‘cause as much as he wants to be detached he craves to be loved.
It’d be a bit of a rollercoaster because he would not express what he’s feeling. One day he’d be cold, acting like he couldn’t care less, the other he’d try to spend as much time as possible with you and he’d basically be glued to your side, good luck figuring out what’s going on.
Once he finally accepts that he has feelings for you, things would settle down a bit. He’d find a bit of a balance, if you will.
In public he’d be quite reserved - he’s now big into showing affection publicly so he’d probably wouldn’t even hold your hand unless you wanted to. Same goes for kisses, he wouldn’t kiss you in public unless you initiated or asked him to.
In private that’s a different story tho. He’s touch starved as we all know, and the moment he’d be comfortable with you it would show. You’d have to set boundaries for your space or it would become his space. You’re on the couch reading, scrolling or watching tv? He’s cuddled up against you, staring at whatever it is you’re doing. Preparing a meal? He tries to scooch next to you, most likely making it harder for you to cook. And when eating he likes to sit in front of you so he can move his legs under your seat and have them touch your own.
With time he’d tune it down, but he still likes to be in the same room as you even if you’re doing two separate things. He just likes to be around you as much as he can.
He’d also be really bad at showing emotions in general - he has a total of three facial expressions so you’d have to pickup the tiniest changes in his face to try and understand what he’s feeling and what is going through your mind. But there’s one thing that he has zero control over, and that is the way he blushes. His expression would stay neutral as always, and his cheeks wouldn’t really turn pink or red, but! The tip of his ears. Bright red every time he’s flustered, and they get red so quickly it’s almost funny.
His love language would be mostly gift-giving and acts of service, although it would take a while to grasp what kind of gifts and acts would be considered acceptable and not weird.
What he would need to receive are words of affirmation and physical touch. While he isn’t big on words himself, he’s cherish all the positive, love-filled things you’d say to him. Even the most tooth-rotting and sappy ones, they’re a great way to make him blush and flustered especially if you do so while giving him soft caresses or kisses.
I headcanon Thragg as having almost no body hair but the bush? The happy trail? Yes
And I got some alid reasons for that!!
First: I like him to be a slutty worm
Second: while I imagine Nolan, Conquest, Kregg and most of the others to have quite a decent amount of body hair, I like to imagine Thragg with zero chest hair, almost zero legs and arms hair and… he’d be fucked if Viltrumites were to sport beards because he doesn’t grow it!! Because he’s so, so young compared to all the others and I like for his body to show that contrast as well!
I like to imagine he’d have hairy armpits and a happy trail and a hairy buttcrack because those are hormonal places in which the hair grows first when you reach puberty. He’s like, a thousand years old but I love the fact that he’s an adolescent in comparison to everyone else and the contrast with his age and his position of power and I think it would be neat if something that’s basically an insignificant detail such as body hair would reflect that.
