He just looks…judgmental in a higher stance way? Like an “I’m better than you and you can’t even deny it” kind of way?
He looks..semi regal. Like the person he’s speaking to is a foolish pleb. Like he does that look, shakes his head and he’s like “o-oh you s-sweet summer ch-child” in a kind yet condescending tone.
Herman and his kid with water manipulation powers. Who had a kid with Herman? Shrugs
Anyway Herman's kid following him around and gathering the water their dad leaves behind because they wanna be helpful and doesn't like when people yell at their dad for leaving puddles behind or making things wet. But since Herman is constantly producing water, at some point they can't control such a huge amount and that makes them sad. Herman appreciates them for trying and wanting to help, but it also isn't their job to take care of dad's messes.
i have the same hc!! it's so so fun
herm is so grateful for his baby wanting to be helpful, but he also gets so sad seeing his child get upset since they can't get all the water. he doesn't want them to feel obligated to clean their dad's mess and he tries to make them understand it, but uh... the baby doesn't really listen. they love their dad and they don't want anyone yelling at him for his powers!

Like so many others in need of a new fixation to ruin your life over, you have found yourself obsessively playing Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream. To say you are obsessed would actually be putting it rather mildly; you've spent the past few days with your eyes glued to the screen as the Miis you've created run around your island, interacting and saying all the funny lingo that you've inputted. It’s all you can think about. You’ve started to hum the main theme in your sleep, such a toll has it taken on your brain. This would be concerning were it not for the fact you don't care.
‘Herm, look, it’s you!’
From beside you, Herm yawns, stretches, and sits from where he’s draped over the couch, long legs swinging over its arm before he's upright next to you. ‘Wha — me?’
‘Yeah! See?’ You turn the screen so he can get a better look. He gazes sleepily down at a tiny, cartoonish copy of himself slouching over as he walks, down to the goggles and little hand-drawn beads of water on his temple. You’ve even replicated his suit.
‘I, for me, think this is very you,' you say proudly. 'Very cute.'
‘Wow, y-yeah,’ he chuckles, leaning into your side and making a soft appreciative noise when you reciprocate. ‘O-on — it's accurate. For sure.’
'Glad you think so.' You beam, and then gasp. 'Oh, wait, there I am!'
Herm watches as the Mii version of yourself (who is also very cute, you'd say) comes into the frame, waving joyously to his Mii, who gives a shy wave back; the tell-tale pink lines that represent blushes are slashed across your faces as you smile at each other. Your relationship status changes to a mutual “Ready to risk it all", and then you just sit there, because your Mii versions are cowards, apparently.
You groan. ‘I’ve been trying to get us to fall in love for ages now, but there's been no confessions or anything. It’s maddening.’
‘Aren’t we good — uh, great friends? Best friends, a-already, here?’ Herm asks you.
'Yeah, of course!' You pout. ‘But there’s so much that we can do in a relationship. There’s all these cute cutscenes of interactions, and there's dreams and we can even move in together — don’t get me started on how long that’s taking — and I’m just missing outttt.’
'Maybe there’s — maybe it’s good, i-in a way.'
Your eyebrows raise. ‘What, you don’t want us to be sweethearts? Or get married?’
Herm flushes red to the tips of his ears. ’N-no! No, not — I mean — no.’ He ducks his head and mumbles something you can’t quite make out.
You make a soft tsk. ‘Can’t hear you, Hermie wormie.’
‘…I kinda like that it’s — I’m only — there’s o-only the real versions of us together. That we’re together. Only in real life,’ he admits sheepishly. ‘I-in a way. You know.’
Your heart melts. ‘You can’t just say things like that.’
’S-sorry?'
’No, don’t apologize, that was so romantic.’ You tilt your head to meet his and give him a kiss, soft and sweet. ‘I mean, it’s true. I have my real sweetheart right here. What am I complaining about?’
He hums happily, further nestling into you; the light of the screen illuminates the planes of his face, catching on his chestnut-colored hair, the soft blue-grey of his eyes, the water droplets that slide down his cheeks. Onscreen, the Mii versions of yourselves are now blowing bubbles at each other, iridescent in the warm glow of the digital setting sun.
The concept of Waterbae baby finding out their parents that love each other so much, their parents that are always attached to each other at all times.. met because Chad ran Herman over ☠️
Like imagine WaterGrandma babysitting them (she's now immortal guys shush) and going like "when you grow up, choose a lover who will never hurt you.." or something and WaterBae fanchild is now curious about that topic and who else to ask besides the two heroes that are literally known to be attached to each other at all times!
Listen I trust that they give good and genuine advice, it's just like the moment the kid asks how they met 😭
"how did you and papa meet?"
"I ran him over."
"????"
So now I guess it's a "find someone who'll allow you to run them over" /j
And I 100% AGREE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.
Their little child sees Baba and Dad love each other so much. Sure Baba is a little mean sometimes but..Dad seems to laugh and be mean back (that’s how they learn what sarcasm is). And Baba and Dad kiss each other all the time and love each other so much. And they love them a lot too!
So they wonder how Baba and dad met! They ask while they’re all watching a movie together and they’re expecting Baba and Dad to say this cute story like from what they’ve heard from movies and cartoons but uh…
Dad is giving Baba a kind of scared look. And Baba is looking right back at him with an unreadable look. Then Dad starts whispering in Baba’s ear, Baba whispers in Dad’s ear and they nod. Baba then turns to them and says “I hit your dad with my car.” And Dad is shocked and shrieks “CHAD!! WE A-AGREED TO T-TELL THEM W-WHEN THEYRE OLDER!!”
Baba then says “What? I’m not lying to my kid like people do with santa!”
And then Baba freezes. And Dad looks distressed and he’s staring at Baba with his hands in his hair just shocked. And then they both look at them.
They go quiet for a bit and then ask “W-What’s wrong with Santa?” with a VERY sad look.
Dad gives Baba a “you better FIX” this look but Baba is quiet and accepting he fucked up. Dad sighs and says “Um…S-Santa he-“
“He’s gay. Totally gay. Mrs. Claus doesn’t actually exist cause Mrs. Claus is actually a man. He’s Mr. Claus.” Baba interrupts.
Dad looks..kinda done but he smiles and nods along.
They ask why do people say Santa’s husband is actually a lady?
Dad speaks up saying “Y-You know how w-we said that s-sometimes people might b-be mean to Baba and I c-cause we’re together?” They nod.
“W-Well it’s like t-that.”
They nod, accepting this answer.
And both Dad and Baba think they diverged the conversation enough from their first meeting before their kid asks
“So Baba, why did you hit dad with your car?”
They get two answers at the same time.
“I-It was an a-accident!”
And
“Cause I was mean.”
Dad has never looked like he was gonna kill Baba more in his life.
