This lovely commission is from @generalofchaosandsimpery who has helped me with both edits and ideas recently, so thank them for allowing me to draw such an adorable William!
*Please note this was paid for, and in the works, BEFORE the AI situation/Boycott against IDV. Thank you.
Yoshi note: I spent three hours rendering his hair... Only for it to be so dark and that's it's barely noticable... The pain of being an artist.

-Where do i even start
-LHFPLYYLLHDLDH <3
-He's the sweetest
-Just like you're his biggest fan, he is your biggest hypeman.
-The ultimate walking sunshine. Gets an ultimate mood boost when you're around. When he falls for someone he falls hard. Always smiling around you.
-He doesn't have a main love language. One day he would constantly compliment you, next day he'd help you reach something that's standing above you and cuddle with you next.
-We all know he is the master, the pioneer, the king of rugby, he is always the best, but when you're spotted in the audience? That man is UNSTOPPABLE. Like some strange force possesed him. And this doesn't get unnoticed by his teammates.
-Starting from then, you will always be asked to attend their most important matches, to the point random people start mistaking you as a part of that team. You'd think those invites would stand for free entry to their matches, right??
-Well not at all...
-William would demand at least 10 minutes of victory kisses or loser cuddles (which, of course, barely happen).
-Also, if he sees you wearing merch with him? Get ready to not be able to break free from his arms.
-Probably has a photo of you kissing in front of his teammates under his bed.
-When he gets home he just wants to throw you onto the bed and cuddle (STINKYYYYY). You allow him only to do it after a shower.
-He'd be in heaven if you asked him to train together. He wouldn't care if you weren't the best. All that matters is that you cared enough to ask about his interests.
-Which means, he would love to take a look at your hobbies.
-Dates with William are always so much time. One time you'd wake up to him knocking on your door holding roses, inviting you for w romantic dinner, meanwhile next time he'd want to take you to a trampoline park.
-You'd be a frequent visitor of events, fairs, festivals. William WILL take part in that hammer game whatever it's called. He's also going on insiting to win you a plushie in those game machines. He aims for those big ones but you end up with a small teddy bear (you still love it).
-Holds your hand all the time. He likes comparing their sizes.
-Loves to sleep together. You both started a huge collection of plushies to decorate his bed. William would insist on you to wear his pajama - maybe sleeping only in underwear isn't the best idea when you live in a cold manor, but you would snuggle with him anyway.
-Plushies aside, you two have a collection of funky blankets.
-You spend hours braiding his hair.
-Especially loves when he's laying on his bed and you kiss every part of his face. Absolutely a big spoon.
-Isn't a fan of reading books for entertainment, though would kill to have you reading to him. It can be anything really, he's going to fall asleep in a few minutes.
-Also loves when you sing him lullabies.
-Your sleep schedule is unhealthy? Not on his watch!!! He WILL trap you in his embrace. No buts.
-His wardrobe is basically your wardrobe now.
-Very big on pet names. Would use some basic ones but also likes coming up with the most ABSURD stuff. You don't know how to act when you're randomly called a silly rugby ball.
-You two probably make up some weird code only you two understand, maybe a special handshake?
-He loves showing you off to everyone else. If you don't have a lot of friends fear not because after William constantly talks about you his friends would be keen on meeting you.
-A volcano of energy. He can have a lot of thoughts at once. If it's too much for you, tell him to slow down. You often help to ground him.
-If you're comfortable with pda you're going to be constantly hugging, being carried, kissing. He would also make a big deal off showing himself off to you. Expect to be asked to sit on him while he's doing pushups.
-A total crackhead. Loves acting like he doesn't know you in public so he can hit up on you and make you blush.
-Would offer you to teach you some self defense moves, so his love can be safe when he's not around.
-Takes your safety seriously. He wants you to think of him as THE man.
-Loves it when you sit on his lap. You maybe me next to a table that has like 10 not taken seats yet you'd still choose William to the point when you're invited to a party people stop reserving a seat for you.
-He's the life of that party as well. He's like that one strange uncle at the family gathering who'd like to show off his wild dance moves to you.
-You're his partner in crime, his little helper. When he wants to pull off some pranks around the manor he's going to ask you to help him out.
-If you're feeling uncomfortable, he's going to take all of the attention to himself.
-Though, please, dear reader, make sure to check up on him. Sure, he finds proving himself to you fun, but i'm convinced you'd prefer to do some silly activites together instead of having to take care of his aching body.
-Whetever it's an accident or actually William's fault, you always take care of him after tough matches and training sessions. You'd have him laying in a bathtub and washing him, you'd also patch him up if anything happened.
-Secretly loves when you kiss his wounds, though won't directly admit. Also liked his beard touched!
-You love kissing his muscles in a non sexual way. It's making his ego rise to the roof.
-And he'd do the same. He'd place you on his bed and you won't have to move a hand. Maybe his bandaging skills aren't the best but he bandages you with love.
-Man's an athlete, and an athlete has to eat a lot. He would be so flustered if you made him food, especially if it's something foreign, something he's never tried before. If you messed something up he'd act like the tears from his eyes are out of love.
-Likes when you hide sweets in random places in his dorm so he can seek them.
-He'd love to make some food with you together next time! And share it with you later.
-Would make a bucket list of all the weird restaurants nearby to visit with you.
-Prepare his sport clothes for the next match/practice, he's going to melt.
-You bought some new clothes? His dorm suddenly becomes a catwalk.
-He's fit, therefore he rarely gets ill, but when it happens? He's going to act like a literaly baby, whining for you to be near him all the time, feeding him, entertaining him.
-He is very emotionally intelligent. William can tell when you're uncomfortable, sad, or acting happy but not actually feeling like it. If you feel down, he'd cheer you up by acting goofy to see you smile. You can talk to him about anything that bothers you.
-He wants to be there for you all the time. When he's not, he's making sure to hire Ganji as your bodyguard.
-He's like a walking heater. And you take advantage of it.
-You like climbing him up like a goofy monkey.
-He's turning into a giant teddy bear the moment he sees you crying. And when it turns out someone else made you cry? He makes sure to give him a talk the next day.
-Would wrap you into a blanket burrito and hold you.
-Or, a more intense option, he'd warn you about the tickle monster. WHAT monster you're probablt asking? Well, he turns off the light and suddenly the tickle monsters attacks his prey.
-He isn't very jealous. Overall, while he wants to be a safe place for you, he also believes he should let you handle a few things on your own - though do not hesitate to come to him if in need, he'd be more than happy to help. Though if he ever becomes jealous, he tries to act like he actually isn't.
-William would become feral if something happened to you. It's now up to Naib and Ganji if they decide to spare the intruder and hold William back or not.
-Arguments between both of you rarely happen, they're play fights at most if anything.
-When you provoke him into a tickle fight he shows NO mercy.
-You two are totally going to overdose vitamin gummy bears for kids.

Honestly i was reading my first post and thought to myself damn this i kind of good... meanwhile i feel this one is kind of worse idk 😭😭 i tried
Anyways i'm aiming to pick one more character with general headcanons and i'm going to do bigger headcanons with those three combined about like more specific situations ... i'm thinking MAYBE Ganji, Andrew or Luchino but idk yet 🧐
I responded by tossing a clump of clues towards Norton with a smile.
"Sure, I put my money on Naib."
Norton nodded, separating the crowd. He held his hand up.
"Okay. We've got three bets on Ganji and the rest on Naib."
"Did you bet against me Norton?!" Naib spoke with what can only be described as a shattered heart 😔 The narrator must.. Wipe a tear..
Norton stuck his tongue out playfully to the other before signalling the fight had begun, returning to a stoic state.
And on cue. Ganji and Naib were at each other's throats like two dogs in Emil's backstory. The crowd around me erupted into cheers as they shouted for the two to keep bruising the other's skin.
I couldn't help but laugh slightly. This manor felt more like a circus at times like this than a death game.
I was absolutely sure that we were getting stares from the others around us. Aesop being acutely aware of the fact too, cheering on more quietly than Eli and William and Norton.
Ganji, being the money holder for Norton, Eli and William and with Naib being the money holder for Aesop and I.. The pressure was on for everyone.
The sound of grunts, punches and cursing flooded the air until it ended with a thud
"Naib's the winner of this year's Christmas Crunch!" Norton's voice called out, as Naib officially threw his hands up, knocking Ganji to the ground.
"Screw you Subedar! Those were low blows!" Ganji's voice broke through its cracked cage. Despite the broken pride that Naib just threw to him, he had a bloodied lipped smile.
"Screw you, mother fucker. Gimme my money!" Naib's joy leaked through his words as he held his hand out to Ganji, helping the other up with chivalry.
Ganji grunted and forfeited his clues to the hooded mercenary. The quick grumble of money was exchanged and taste of Christmas laid in my hands. A whoppin' 600 clues from William, Eli and Norton. Happy frickin' holidays.
"That was good. That was a close one this year." Eli smiled, rubbing his lip slightly to help Naib indicate he has a bit of blood dribbling down his face.
"You treacherous fucks." He did wipe his face, before starting on Eli and Norton. "You two. Bet against. Me. You know nothing of true friendship." He laughed, exaggerating his words as if he were in one of those terrible holiday movies.
"But [Name] and Aesop? I can trust them with my drinks tonight." He smirked slightly, pulling us both to his side with an ungodly strength.
"Are you already drunk?" Norton snickered.
"Drunk off my muthafuckin victory, bitch! Naib Subedar never loses!" Considering he kept flinching with every word, adjusting his jaw and wincing every time he moved a muscle.. I'd barely call that a victory.
That was clearly wrong from his experience last year. But sure, let's let him brag. This will probably be the last chance I have to see him this cheerful until the next year.
William and Ganji had a sweet moment. Losers supporting losers before Eli spoke up.
"Well, off to Emily you two." He lightly laughed again as he brushed himself off.
"I don't trust you to take me." Naib pouted with cheek, before looking over at Ganji. "And I think only one of us should go. Because.. You know how Emily gets about the Christmas Crunch."
Despite what you'd think, Naib and Ganji were both bloodied and bruised. Although, Naib did flip his hood up to hide some of his injuries.
"I'm fine, I don't need to go."
Ganji scoffed. Before poking Naib's shoulder which earnt a large wince from the other.
"Ooh, looks like you're just as.. Batter-rd.. As I am.." Ganji wasn't the type for jokes or puns, but he had to rub in the fact they were more tied than on Naib's victory which was barely.
“I… I’m so happy to see you! I never thought I’d see you again…”
Vera scoffed. “Are you serious? If you were really that worried about seeing me again you would’ve never killed me in the first place!”
“That-that’s not how it works! Killing you was the worst thing I ever did! I came to the manor for a chance to forget about it!”
Vera laughed bitterly. “That’s very like you. To try and forget about your mistakes instead of taking responsibility for them—as!” Vera found herself pushed to the side, William now in front of the two.
“Are you okay Vera? I didn’t hear what’s going on just… are you arguing with forgotten heart?” William cocked his head.
“It’s none of your business!” Both twins snapped dryly.
Vera sighed, using her ability to trade places with William. Since he was injured prior to the swap, he was now incapacitated. Vera picked up Chloe, starting her way to a nearby rocker chair. “This was a mistake, let’s just play this stupid game.”
—————————-
“I WAS A COMPLETE MESS OH MY GOD… I might have seemed all cool and collected but I was completely freaking out! I knew I couldn’t handle facing her! Oh god…. But I guess those of you wondering what would happen when I face her… that’s what…. But the worst part is that I’m gonna have to do it again eventually!… help…”
