Was looking through my hollowhead designs for "Home as Family" (my Canon-Compliant au) so far and realised how weird these three are when it comes to the ways they show their relationships with each other (+more for TSC)
So I decided to draw (very badly mind you) all of the things that remind them of each other! (I don't know the word for it I'm so sorry)
There's some explanations and exposition for this au under the cut if you want to read them:
TSC:
Second likes to keep tons of items that remind them of their friends. They made their main necklace, a cartoonist pencil with the colours of CG, during the five month time skip in AvA4.
Alan gifted them their hair tie at some point as he noticed them struggling to keep their mid-length hair out of their face (they're a little dumb okay?) Once again, it has the colours of CG on them and Sec keeps remaking it in the same design every time it breaks (which is a lot)
A long time after The Showdown (but way before the events of AvAS3), Second, Chosen and Dark had reconciled with each other and grew close, leading to Second making "Bracelet 1". It just has the other two hollows' heads+Alan's cursor on it.
(There's actually another bracelet Sec has that has Purple's and King's heads on it, i just got lazy to draw it)
TDL:
Dark is a weird one, because before Showdown, he actually didn't have any form of memorabilia at all. Not even one of Chosen.
It was only after Showdown did they start keeping such things. In fact, most of Dark's clothes post Showdown doesn't belong to him. He stole the inner shirt from Cho after his old one got blasted by Sec and his jacket was taken from a garbage bin. (He cut up the inner shirt to make it into a sleeveless tee so this dude really doesn't have anything that isn't destroyed in some way 😂)
Chosen has the habit of sewing their head onto every clothing he owns to remind him of who she is so that's one. Dark sewed his head on the jacket to match the one on the shirt (and made it just a bit bigger to prove a point i guess?)
After all the hollowheads had gotten closer, Sec led them and Cho up to the computer to let them settle their problems with Alan. After that conversation (and after they all decided to try being a family again), Sec gifted Dark a keychain with Alan's cursor and their head on it. Dark has this clipped on his belt.
TCO:
As I mentioned above, Chosen likes to sew their head onto every clothing piece she owns. Other than that, the only other piece of memorabilia that he owns was a hair tie that Dark made for them a year after escaping the pc. It was a really dumb and stupid gift but Chosen kept it all the same.
After Showdown, Cho and Sec started hanging out a bunch. At some point, she decided to sew Sec's head onto the other side of his collar to show that they thought of the younger stick as family.
When Dark and him finally met Alan and talked to him officially, Chosen was actually the one who proposed the family idea. They actually sewed a tiny image of Alan's cursor onto the underside of his coat a long time ago and now it's just there.
I would make one for victim but I'm mainly waiting to see how Alan takes their character, since I want to keep this as close to canon as possible. And I really like the idea of victim fighting tooth and nail to not be a part of this family :3
