Did anybody ask for me to inflict my new hyper fixation on you? No. Am I gonna do it anyway? Yes. This blog was built on headcanons nobody asked for, and it's high time we got back to our roots. So without further ado, I present:
Ysoris Amauricius Firebrandt (IV) Headcanons~
Just snagged his character portrait off google-
🤎🍷 listen. If you like sad, pathetic, broken men (like I do), this guy is for you. (Please go play Edge of Eternity I promise it's so good) This man has been put through the fucking ringer. Anything that could feasibly go wrong in his life has gone wrong. So, it's safe to say that he is extremely traumatized and should be handled with care.
🤎🍷 that being said, he's by far not the easiest person to handle. Especially at first. He's bitter and sarcastic, complains about everything (me too, fr fr), not to mention that at any given point in time he's either drunk or hungover. It takes someone with saint-like levels of kindness and patience to put up with him.
🤎🍷There will be a lot of boundary testing at first. Lots of poking and prodding to see exactly what you're willing to put up with, and if you'll actually stick around. Just be patient, and once he realizes you're serious about him and won't leave, you've got him in the palm of your hand.
🤎🍷 does not take compliments. Like, at all. Say whatever nice things you want about him, he simply won't believe you. He loves the attention, but the self esteem issues this poor man has are diabolical.
🤎🍷 He's such a tease. Just absolutely the worst. Whether it's playful banter or slightly concerning pranks, expect to have your limits tested. This will not get better with time, actually, it will only get worse as he gets more comfortable. He just loves to get a rise out of people. Suffice it to say, his reputation around Tyr-caellum is well-earned.
🤎🍷 He's actually a fantastic lover, if you can get past the complaining and the drinking habit. The man's loyalty knows no bounds. If you win him over, you're never getting rid of him. He'll follow you to the ends of the earth and do whatever you ask of him.
🤎🍷 my God, he is SO clingy. Like, unbelievably so. Especially when drunk (which is most of the time). He always wants to be near you, always touching some part of you, even if it's just holding onto your sleeve. He'll make up some silly excuse about being "too drunk to stand" or his "legs hurting too much" so he can lean on you.
🤎🍷 The abandonment trauma is so strong with this one. Don't even think about trying to get him to sleep alone. He needs you nearby to calm him when he inevitably has a PTSD-induced nightmare. Which is almost every night. Just give in, please, he needs the rest. And his sleeping face is adorable.
🤎🍷 He's particularly fond of laying on you. Just resting his head on your chest, his arms around your waist. He's not as heavy as you'd expect (his prosthetics are fairly lightweight, a true marvel of engineering), but he's not exactly light. You won't be going anywhere until he's done sleeping off his hangover.
🤎🍷 absolutely loves head scratches. Just melts into a happy little puddle whenever your hand is in his hair. His hair is actually quite lovely when it's washed, all thick and fluffy and soft. You'll just have to bathe him first, which is an ordeal in and of itself.
🤎🍷 He's actually very handsome under all the dirt and motor oil, but it will take hours of scrubbing to get there. You might have to remove a few layers of skin in the process. Just be careful around his prosthetics, the skin around them is incredibly sensitive and it doesn't take much pressure to hurt him.
🤎🍷 Would absolutely die if you gave him a massage. He is so tense and so sore all the damn time. He might actually just fall asleep.
