Great, I am starting to fall into the hellhole called DiscoSkull thanks to certain people and fanfics... XD
And it makes me start thinking of scenarios and all. Not sure if it is good or bad for everyone around me.
Me being a sucker for dumbass cute sceneries just think of Hemlock who just gets all suddenly shy and awkward in Charlie's presence. Acting more like an idiot than usual. And Charlie who is a bit too sense about what is going on. Him being his regular self and all. Everyone else noticing the dumb scenery going on.
Dead as Disco when their s/o have broken down and needs comfort feat Charlie and Prophet
Charlie: I see him getting extra serious and the moment after he has noticed that something is wrong, him just hearing it by the tone of their voice... He is going to be by their side, showing that he is there for them. If they want to talk about it, he'll let them, without interrupting, but if they don't have any words, Charlie's still there with them.
Prophet: Ooooh, he will show no mercy for the one who dared hurting his s/o. First making sure that he calms them down and then excusing himself to go and find the person who has a deathwish, and who will get crushed by a car very soon. He will return after that and continue to be there for them...
If we have Ayleen who asks if they can go to the beach since it is a nice summer day out, we have Dex who instantly says that he is busy with getting one song just perfect. Charlie who gets delighted over the mere idea just tells Dex that he can practice in the shadows at the beach since he won't let his body get touched by the sun anyway.
Dex sighing but gives up after he sees Ayleen's dissapointed expression of he doesn't join . But once they end up there fo we have Dex hide under a blanket, sunglasses, and a big beach har (provided by Ayleen who got to borrow it from Arora). Him just sitting and be grumpy, but at least being present. (And he can practice after all).
Hemlock in other hand is delighted for another precious moment to create memories with his daughter, him and Ayleen bringing ridiculous amount of inflatable toys like sharks, crocodile, donutshaped ring, frisbees, waterguns.... The list can be long.
Rori joins them and plays around with her Bestie and new little friend.
Prophet is the chill guy, joining the trip to the beach, but might not participate in playing, which is fine. He could always be keeping Dex company. Not socializing with him, but being there.
Charlie is a mix, switching between being with the playful group and checking the others to make sure that they are fine.
Where Charlie loses his first baby tooth and is so proud over it, and shows it for the others, them also getting proud for his sake. And then he gets curious and asks Hemlock how it works for him.
The poor boy be like: "Eh, it just floated around 'here after it got loose. Was irritatin'."
Charlie who gets upset over that because it means that Hemlock didn't get any coins from the tooth fairy, and he wants to give his coin to his friend...
Might happen, or never will, but writing them here anyway before I will forget them again.
-The youngest kids (Hemlock, Arora and Charlie dissapears from the academy, with Prophet and Dex having to search for them (Benny who also dissapears after a while because he wants to be where Charlie is, but himself getting lost at the same time.
- Hemlock and Arora who ends up in a conflict and refuses to speak to each other, being angry for different reasons. And ends up with them trying to be with others instead, with some chaotic results.
-A new student appears at the academy and rivalry forms between Charlie and Hemlock, leaving the others to spectate it all.
-Parent day at the academy happening, but the question is, who has parents and who doesn't?
- Halloween and the kids coming up with scary or cute outfits depending on who it is and such.
Kid's Idol au. all of the future Dead as Disco-members being kids, and they are going to be the new group and find out what they will play/ sing and such. getting along (good luck with that xD)
Current kids (The idols that we currently know about) will be in a range of the age 5- 12. Stix will atm be like the headmaster of the Academy. (No idea if he will be good or bad at that yet.)
Harmony is going to be more of a Academy that will use more of playback and AI-robots that will look like kids. Because it is easier to go with robots rather than kids that can throw tantrums. They also decided to put Arora there as a spy for them. But little do that know that their plan won't work…
Prophet (12): the oldest in the group and the "wisest" and mature of them. The other kids turns to him whenever there are problems, them believing that he can solve everything. Is usually calm and thinks things through before doing something drastic.
Dex (9): Second oldest, sceptical and usually cranky boy. He has more tolerance regarding Charlie then the others. (Him treating Charlie like his younger brother and can be very protective over him.) Dex is always in constant pain, some days lesser than others, and use a cane on the bad days.
Hemlock (7): He is the wild kid in the group,the rebel, always exploring and being impulsive, often resulting in him getting injuries and bruises. His skull scared other kids, but not his friends who accepts him the way he is. His bestie is Arora, him acting like her big brother to her, teaching her everything she needs to know. Swearwords included.
Arora (6, programmed to be that age): As Arora were supposed to be an infiltrator sent out by Harmony didn't she have a personality first. But once she got to hang around with Hemlock did it end with her taking after him a lot, but also getting a sweet and kind side too. She is the one that usually puts the bandages and takes care of Hemlock's wounds.
Benny (6): Benny has actually been around in the academy before the others, but he is the shy little kid that hasn't dared approaching the others just yet. He has spoken a bit with Charlie and Hemlock, but then kept his distance from them but spectated from different spots in the building. He will most likely have easiest to get along with Charlie, and work a bit on being around the rest of the group too.
Charlie (5): He might be the youngest and the smallest of them, but his heart and spirit is bigger than anyone's. He looks up a lot to Dex, and gets along with everyone. He sees the best in all of them, and always believes in what they all can do.
I asked @troycos for permission to write this snippet.
Strings wrings out his mop in the bucket, and wipes his brow, some poor kid had eaten too much and thrown up earlier. He looks up when he sees a little kid a young redheaded girl with curly hair and wearing a red panda headband and tail run up to a flagpole and start trying to climb it.
"Woah woah hey there kiddo get down from there you could get hurt!" Strings hurries over pulling off his rubber gloves and shoving them in his belt as he gently pulls the little girl down from the flagpole, glancing up briefly to se a balloon shaped like a red panda caught up at the top.
"Lemme go! I gotta get my balloon back!" The little girl pouts and thrashes a little. Um okay fuck, Strings glances around he doesn't see anyone who looks like the kid, so he's on his own great.
"I'll get your balloon back kiddo, I'm very good at climbing things, then I'll get you back to your adults. How does that sound?" Strings smiles as disarmingly as he can as he crouches down in front of the little girl, not wanting to spook her.
"Fine, mr sparkly man," Strings blinks mr sparkly man? well his hair is iridescent so she's not wrong.
Strings gives the kid a winning smile but not wide enough to show teeth, "You got it kiddo watch this!" Strings shimmies up the flag pole in record time and carefully disentangles the balloon's string from the pole then slides back down to ground level, crouching down back in front of the kid to secure the balloon around her wrist.
"Wow that was so cool Mr Sparkly Man! You're really good at climbing! Could you teach me?" Strings chuckles at the kid's enthusiasm.
"Depends on if your adults are okay with me teaching you, my name is Jack by the way, what your name kiddo?"
"I'm Ayleen!" Ayleen huh? Strings' buddies have mentioned someone named Ayleen recently but theres no chance this is the same Ayleen right?
"Alright Ayleen, do you see your adults around here?" Ayleen looks around before chirping "Nope"
"Okay then, I'll walk you to the front desk where we can send a message to your adults over the speaker.system to let them know where you are and I'll wait with you until they get there sound good?" Strings offers the kid his hand who takes it eagerly.
"Your hands are weird, why are they like that?" Blunt as a hammer this one.
"Oh my hands are covered in chitin that's why they're weird,"
"What's chitin?"
"It's the stuff that spiders are covered in,"
"Really?"
"Yes really,"
"Is that why you can climb so well, cause you're part spider?" Strings chuckles.
"Partially, I also have lot of practice climbing things,"
"Are those dots on your face extra eyes?"
"Yes, you're really clever!"
"Why is your hair so sparkly and colorful? did you eat glitter?" Strings snorts and giggles incredulously for a few seconds.
"No, no I didnt eat glitter hand on let me show you a photo," Strings fishes his phone out of his pocket and using his teeth to manipulate his stylus pulls up a picture of a male peacock spider, "This little guy is a peacock spider see how all the hair on their butts is really colorful? that's why my hair is so colorful I kinda take after these little guys."
"Why are their butts so colorful?"
"Whenever a male peacock spider wants to get a girl it does a little dance for her, to woo her and having a colorful butt helps with that."
"Where are peacock spiders from?"
"Australia,"
"My dad's Australian," wait a minute hold up, Strings looks at Ayleen like really looks at her, some of her features are vaguely familiar.
"Ayleen what's your dad's name?"
"Hemlock!"
"That dummkopf..." Strings facepalms sighing.
"What does dumcough mean?"
"Dummkopf, I literally translates to 'dumb head' but it means 'blockhead' or 'idiot' I'm calling your dad an idiot," Hemlock has a kid, Hemlock has a kid that he's met and is caring for that the others have also met but didn't bother to call him. Ayleen starts giggling at his side as they approach the front desk.
"Do you know my dad?"
"I sure do, and I'm debating wringing dein idiotischer Vater' nonexistent neck for not bothering to give me a phone call to tell me about you," Strings brings Ayleen to the front desk so she can tell another one of the employees to send a message via the speaker system that Ayleen is waiting for her dad Hemlock and uncle Dex at the front desk.
The two then sit down in the plastic chairs next to the front office.
"What did those weird words you said mean?"
"They meant 'your idiot father' it's in German,"
"One of my dad's friends is German, he says he's a hippie and has these yellow sunglasses and a pink peace sign necklace." Strings huffs quietly and pulls those items out of another pocket and putting them on.
"Like these?" Ayleen gapes before a few seconds before lighting up with a big grin.
"You're Uncle Strings!"
The door opens and a slightly disheveled Dex and hemlock burst in and Ayleen hops up and runs over.
"Dad Uncle Dex I found Uncle Strings!" Strings gives Hemlock his best 'I'm not mad I'm just dissapointed' expression.
"So hemlock I hope you have a good excuse as to why you never gave me a phonically about your daughter?"
"...Bollocks,"
Silly Headcanon time with Hemlock again.
Me thinking about that he is the kind that is the tough and foulmouthed and wild individual in comparision with the rest of the known bandmates. We all know that. And that he has the hints about being more softhearted and has a heart of gold deep down.
Hemlock who has a worn and patched up teddybear plush that's been traveling with him everywhere during the tours, and also been around after Charlie died. The band knows that he has it. But Hemlock pretends it doesn't exist. (Which kinda fails because it can be seen now and then laying on the floor in his messy room. Or it peeking out from a duffel bag or similar.)
Arora is the only one who is allowed to be close and her being the one during recent days who has patched it up, and might also have given it new accessories in shape of scarves, bandanas etc.
Oh, and the first night when Ayleen had gotten to the Encore were she worried and sad, so she got to borrow the plush from Hemmy TwT
Enjoyed this movie quite a bit! Inspired me to do a practice drawing based on my favorite scene in it.
I'm admittedly not very familiar with the source material, but please, go watch it in theaters if you can! I need a sequel! I need more of Skeletor's self-indulgent monologuing injected into my eardrums!
Sick Hemlock, Dex attempting to help in his own way, part 2
Hemlock who is laying sprawled out over the bed and acting like he is dying. But for someone who is supposedly close to leaving this world... He sure has a lot to talk about. How his body is aching worse than that time he jumped out from the Encore's balcony, and fell 10 floors before landing on a car.
That he is feeling dizzy and tired and like someone has filled his veins with liquid metal.
Dex who is sighing, but glad that the man isn't wandering around and being a pain in the butt, so he doesn't have to get Hemlock back to the bed by using violence.
"I see the light... This is it... It's all over..." Dex sighs loudly when he hears Hemlock's rough voice muttering that, and just glances at him with a tired expression.
"No, you dumb s###. The lamp is on, genius. You're not going to die, unless you continue being an idiot." Says Dex in a irritated tone to Hemlock who turns his head towards the edgy man's voice.
"Oh.. Then smack it down with a discoball! It's ####ing bright... !"
Dex in other hand has another idea as he just picks up one t-shirt that is laying on the floor, and simply drops it over Hemlock's jar, so it covers it.
"There, problem solved." The cyborg says, with a small hint of amusement in his voice. The reaction he expected doesn't happen though, as Hemlock gets all quiet, and still on the bed. It is soon followed by a gasp.
"Wow... It worked... !" Hemlock is impressed in his fevery state.
Dex sighs again and is trying to not start to clean up in the messy room. He is not good with handling too much clutter and chaos after all. "Just lay there, stay in the bed and frigging rest. You're sick as ####."
He turns his heels and is about to leave the room when he hears Hemlock mumbling something.
"... Hey... Edgelord...?"
Dex finds himself stop moving, not turning around to face the rebel punk, but he is listening. "What...?" He then feels a grip around his wrist, not a firm one, but enough to make him freeze on the spot.
"... Stay..."
The cyborg's eyes widens a bit, about to hiss irritated at Hemlock, yet he doesn't. Instead he sighs, the irritation and usual habit of retort back at the rebel fades away.
"Fine..." Cue to poor Dex having to sit on the floor first since Hemlock is not letting go of his wrist until he has enough and scolds him about it. Then he is able to be more comfortable on a chair instead. And Hemlock is still laying in the same pose on the bed. Miserable, on bis back, body covered by the blankets, and the T-shirt over the jar. He is still sick, now and then complaining over he feels.
But despite all of it, being babbly and still a bit like his usual self is Dex actually staying there. Even though he is disgusted over the mess in the room. That Hemlock talks A LOT and can't shut up despite being sick, and half of it being fever-talk, is it something that makes him not able to leave.
"Idiot-skull." But Dex says it with less sharpness than usual.
*nefariously rubs my hands like a lil goblin* yessssssssss requests are open
can i request how the idols and reader sleep together? like literally sleeping together. like sharing a bed honk shoo possibly cuddling together.
Sleeping With Their S/O
cw: pre- Charlie’s death in Dex’s section.
a/n: another evil and nefarious person, I see! I honestly love the mundane headcanons. I always worry that I’m going too far with the “Arora is a robot” thing, though. Her section (and Dex's) is long.
Arora
I don’t wanna say that Arora sleeps upright in some pod to charge at night. That, I think, is going too far.
However, her bed isn’t exactly comfortable.
She doesn’t have a bunch of sheets or pillows. Too much of those would block her ventilation and would make her internal fans overheat.
So, she has exactly one blanket and two pillows. She sleeps stiffly on her back, so one pillow is for her head and the other is for her knees (the proper support for back sleepers).
Arora doesn’t think much of it when you ask to spend the night with her.
“So funny!” Back when she reported to Harmony, she would have been disassembled and replaced with a fresh AI system, if she returned home with someone else, especially to sleep with. So, this new experience of sleeping in the same bed with her beloved is too good to pass up.
As this is exactly how she sleeps (and she doesn’t have muscles that get sore from sleeping on a hard mattress), she invites you in without any warning.
It’s like sleeping on a glorified table. It’s uncomfortable, and you shift around all night.Â
Arora, unaware of the issue, offers you the blanket. “I never use it anyway.” Then she offers you one of her pillows. “I suppose you will need this for your head, hm?”
She doesn’t go to bed unless she’s ready to sleep, so there’s no cuddling either, not unless you request it or you two do it before on the couch/somewhere similar.
Sleeping, to her, is just a necessity. She doesn’t change her patterns even if you sleep with her. You have to bring it up to her for her to even realize there’s a problem.
“Oh, yes, I noticed you rolled around a lot last night. Did you struggle to get comfortable?”
Finally, you invite her over to your place so she can see what a real bed is supposed to feel like.
She debates about it for a while, but she relents very easily. She wants to be with you, so of course she’ll do it.
When at your bed, she lets you lay down first. She witnesses you get comfortable, treating it like some study, instead of just getting ready for bed.
Once you’re comfortable, she lays down beside you exactly as she does in her own bed. She asks you for a second pillow, and she places it under her knees. Then, she closes your eyes.
You’re used to her falling asleep instantly, and you assume that she’s done so now. You move to cuddle up against her arm and let out a sigh. “I love you,” you tell her sleeping form.
“I love you too,” she replies, very much not asleep. Arora opens her eyes and tells you. “I feel very distracted. I’m sinking into the mattress.”
You lift your head as you stare down at her. “Is it uncomfortable?”
But then she shakes her head and puts her arm around you, pulling you back against her side. “It is very comfortable. I don’t think I’ve been this comfortable before.”
Ever? You almost want to ask about it, but she’s closing her eyes again, so you just sigh. “Take all the time you need, Rori. We have all night.”
She doesn’t fall back to sleep immediately after, but she doesn’t move an inch at all. She stays on her back, face turned up at the ceiling as she keeps an arm around you. Unlike others, her arms won’t fall asleep if you lay on them.Â
Once she registers that your breathing has steadied out and you’ve fallen asleep, she finally looks towards you. Is this what it is to be in love and comfortable?Â
Would she have ever experienced this without you?
“I love you,” she whispers to your sleeping form.
Charlie Disco
His favorite thing to do is pull you as close to him as possible, and that also translates to sleeping together.
He wears comfortable pajamas in the winter, and nothing but his boxers in the summer. This is to divert the fact that he won’t let go of you all night, no matter how hot it gets.
So I hope you enjoyed your personal space while you had it.
Charlie is a very big cuddler, so you better be prepared for that. He’s attached to you the moment that you’re both in bed.
You try to tell him that you need to get up for the bathroom, and he half debates going with you.
But he finally lets you go, and he moves over to your spot to keep it warm for you. Yeah, that’s the kind of person he is.
When you come back, he acts like he’s been dying ever since you left. He could be such a drama king.
“Seriously, I was gone for three minutes.”
“Three cold, cold minutes, babe. Get back in these sheets.”
You just roll your eyes before doing as you’re told, immediately getting slipped right back into his embrace.
There’s no way that you’re getting out of bed in the morning before him. He’s either already up, or he keeps you trapped in bed until you convince him not to miss breakfast.
He just loves to hold you. When you guys don’t sleep together, he whines the next day about how he just couldn’t get comfortable without his favorite person to hold.
Deckard “Dex” Voltaire
It definitely takes awhile for Dex to get comfortable enough to sleep with someone else.
Part of it, yes, is because of some self-doubt. However, he also just doesn’t sleep very regularly. His sleep schedule is wack as fuck, and he doesn’t want to bug you with crawling into bed too late or getting up before you. He doesn’t want to be a bother.
But one day, you’re spending the day at Dex’s apartment. It’s always more convenient for you to go to him, than it is for him to come to you.
It starts to rain heavily, and you stare out the window with a frown on your face. “It’s gonna be impossible to get through that rain.”
That’s right. You live across town from him. Taking the bus was a nightmare, especially since the weather suddenly changed, and even just driving, anything could happen.
“Just stay here,” he tells you, not looking up from his guitar.Â
You look back, shocked. He usually tells you in that polite but straightforward way that you should start heading home once the clock strikes a certain time. Or, he’s quick with an excuse back home, if he’s out with you. The fact that he would so willingly just offer you to stay the night is sort of a surprise.
“Like, for the night?”
He sighs. “Do you want to walk home in this rain?”
You obviously don’t object, and he finds you something that will substitute as pajamas for the night. “Take the bed. I’ll sleep on the couch when I’m done practicing.”
With his bad leg? Not a chance.Â
“C’mon, Dex, just come to bed. We can both sleep together.” You hesitate for a beat. “Don’t you want to do that?” You aren’t trying to fish, by any means. Sometimes, though, you can’t be certain with him.
“I’m going to be up for a few more hours. I don’t wanna bother you when I’m done, so it’s fine.”
You take one of his hands in yours, and with your other hand, you pull Ragnarock out of his grip and set it in its stand.
You can see Dex blush as you finally take his other hand and walk him to his room. You smile at him the entire time even though he pointedly avoids eye contact.
“Come on.” You sit down on the edge of the bed, pulling him towards you. “Let’s get some shut eye.”
He’s constantly thinking of how he should be pulling away. He should be telling you that he’s busy and can’t sleep right now. But… he can’t deny the desire to sink into your embrace. Maybe with you in the sheets with him, he’ll actually get a good night’s sleep.
At first, when he relents and climbs into bed, he lays decidedly on his side of the bed (though his bed is pretty small anyway). He lays on his back and just tries to get comfortable that way.Â
You don’t push him and just get ready for bed yourself. You close your eyes and try to sleep, but you can feel Dex staring.
When you feel him shift closer, you open your eyes and see what’s going on. He’s decidedly not looking at you.
“Shut up,” he tells you even though you haven’t said anything yet. “It’s cold…”
You pull him close and the two of you curl up together. Probably the only time he’ll be the little spoon.
He doesn’t make a habit of cuddling in bed. He usually only retires when he’s too exhausted to be awake anyway.
However, he’ll let you lean against him before bed, if you don’t mind him being distracted the entire time. He puts a lot of his focus on his guitar, but that doesn’t mean he’s opposed to spending time with you.
You tell him that a cuddle has to be mutual to actual count, and he just groans as he sets Ragnarock down. You can win that fight, maybe seven times out of ten.
Hemlock
This dude FOR SURE starfishes in his bed. And he is FOR SURE going to starfish on top of you too. Free weighted blanket.
He’s a deep sleeper, so you’re not going to get anywhere once he has you pinned underneath him.Â
He’ll usually be doing things until he collapses in bed. He doesn’t exactly take time to just lay in bed for the hell of it.
But, if you ask him, he will retire early and let you cuddle up with him. He enjoys cuddling with you, so as long as you catch him before he crashes, you’ll be able to get as much cuddling as you want.
As soon as he deems that the two of you have hugged enough, he just goes “Well, that’s enough of that,” and immediately rolls over to lay on top of you.
You whine and try to push him off, but he isn’t budging. Unless, of course, he’s hurting you. He’ll get up if you’re actually hurt.
(which can happen if he’s not careful with that dome of his.)
Dude tends to sleep in the buff so good luck with that.
You’d think he wouldn’t run hot bc of all that… metal and glass… but the body mass has a tendency to trap heat.
So, good luck with him in the summer.
Prophet
This dude has a gigantic mattress. I’m talking California King.
Does he need all that space just to sleep? Absolutely not. He doesn’t tell you that he used to have a smaller mattress. He definitely did not change to a bigger bed once he met you (<- he totally did).
But having all that space definitely makes for an interesting sleep. He doesn’t really toss and turn, he’s a sound sleeper, but on the off-chance that he has to turn in bed, he’s never short on space.
And admittedly, all that space gets lonely. He tells you that you should spend the night more often. “I can only fill up so much of this space, baby. Come on, just for the night.” He says that every night.
He loves to cuddle. You don’t have to ask him, he’ll always be pulling you close. You’d be hard pressed to find a time when he doesn’t want to hold you.Â
On the days that he doesn’t get to have you in his bed, he trains his internal clock to wake up early so that he can make you breakfast.
Yep, you’re getting breakfast in bed. He may not always get up in time, though, so he’ll ask if you want to order some breakfast to be delivered. Prophet always manages to make it work.
Lingering in bed with you is his favorite pass-time. You don’t have to sleep, and you don’t have to be intimate. It’s about spending time with you in a comfy place where you both feel safe. That means the world to him.
