Your gateway to endless inspiration
11, 13 and 14 ^^
well uh, this ask has been sitting in my askbox for many months now and I didn't receive another ask saying who should I write about, so I took poetic freedom and chose Armin as my subject >:] I'm terribly sorry for disappearing again, hopefully this will be to your liking! it turned out a bit short, but I'm kinda proud of myself as I've been very inactive lately lmao
11. bathing / showering
Armin probably likes to shower "femininely" - the water must be as hot as possible, 3/4 of the time is just spent staring at the wall and thinking about life, and it's a special occasion if he finishes faster than half an hour
it's also not rare that he brings his phone with him and blasts some music (maybe he even sings along, but you do not want to hear that)
he absolutely adores showering with Candy, though I'd imagine that they aren't able to do it much, as their sleep patterns most likely differ (hence they shower at different times as well)
when they do manage to shower together, it very rarely turns into khm.... something else. they tried it out once or twice, but they found it more awkward and funny than sexy
Armin really enjoys cleaning Candy, and it's even better when the favour is returned. if they are bathing, I can even imagine them to try out different kinds of bath salts and bath bombs
13. soft spot / weakness
he would never tell anyone, but he's very, very ticklish. and not just in the "mainstream" parts, even in strange places, like his knees, the back of his neck or his ankles
also, not a "physical" weakness, but chocolate. this man loves his stomach very much, and he'd probably trade his kidneys for some sweets or junk food
on a more serious note, he tries to play things cool most of the time, but he does tend to be overprotective of his loved ones, let that be Alexy, Candy or anyone else close enough to him
14. pregnancy / birth
title and theme inspired by @centralsaints. we chatted a bit yesterday about how some HSL characters would go skateboarding in our imagination, and I came up with this. I included some things Max personally said, I wrote them in bold
the base for this whole headcanon is the sadly not canon fact that Iris, Kim, Armin and Castiel sometimes go skateboarding together at ungodly hours
Iris:
Iris first got a skateboard from her brother. Thomas saw skateboards in TV and in parks a lot so he asked his parents for one, but he was too young at that time to actually learn how to use it, so Iris got it in the end
the first thing she did was repaint the whole skateboard by herself
she has way to much fun with tricks. she failed many times in the beginning, but her countless bruises didn't stop her. she got better and better with time though
sometime around high school starting, she gets a longboard for herself, she's basically a pro with it
Kim:
Kim buys a skateboard when she starts hanging out with Iris more, somewhere towards 6th grade maybe. the temptation is great when she watches Iris do those tricks, so she decides to use some of her money that she put aside for when she moves away
she finds a relatively cheaper skateboard on Amazon and decides to get that, she doesn't really understand what's the fuss around those really expensive ones
skateboarding is a bit hard for her though... not being able to use her legs separately is a pain for her, so she switches to rolles skates after some time
Armin:
no one knows where Armin got his skateboard from. he just kinda appeared with it one day at the skateboard park, walked up to Iris, and joined her
he saw many videos on YouTube about various tricks, and he actually manages to learn them! magic
this magic suddenly disappears when someone looks at him though. not once could he do a trick with audience, he always tripped
Armin uses his skateboard therapeutically. he suffers from insomnia, so jumping on his skateboard in dawn usually helps. he doesn't focus on his problems because he has to concentrate on not falling
Castiel:
Cas only started skateboarding because Armin once went "wait, let me show you something" and pulled Castiel with him to the park
he enjoys the company and the vibes more, he's usually the first one to stop and rather sit down
he doesn't leave them there though. he stays to watch them, maybe have a cigarette in the meantime
sometimes he brings along Lysander, who's too stunned to give it a try, but he thinks that all those tricks are fabulous!
collective:
Iris and Kim often go to school together as well. Armin joins them when he can, but he doesn't want to abandon his brother, so it's mostly when Alexy goes with Rosa or when he's sick
Castiel likes skateboarding in the afternoon / night more. sometimes he forgets about time, and stays until ungodly hours with the others, blasting music, having fun
the people who live near the skateboard park loathe them with all their heart, but what can they do
Iris and Armin always try to teach the others new tricks. weirdly enough, Armin is better at explaining things, while Iris shows the tricks
Kim is welcomed to join them even after she switches to roller skates. Armin help her learn tricks with that as well
Kim's used skateboard ends up in Iris' hands, who decides repaint this as well, though the painting process is done together. (in reality, they sit around Iris who paints it, but whatever)
Maybe 14 or 10 with Armin, please?
why not both? š
10. sleeping
Arminās sleeping has its surprises, he can fall asleep literally anywhere. closing his eyes a bit too long on the bus, lying down to rest (ājust a minuteā) while playing, losing interest above a book...
when Candy is over, he tries not to āstand her upā like this though, so they can spend as much time together as possible. heās still the first one to fall asleep, but Candy doesnāt mind it, as she can keep herself occupied by running her hands through his hair
in those rare occasions when Armin stays awake for longer, he just tries to calm down their surroundings (turning off the TV, switching off the lights, etc), then just puts his arms around Candy to cuddle her
he enjoys being a little spoon, but he prefers enveloping Candy more, itās like hugging his blanket while sleeping
he usually sleeps for long time, occasionally waking up to drink or go to the restroom. when he wakes up much sooner, he can be moody for the whole day š¤
14. pregnancy / birth
I think Armin would look forward to becoming a father, he couldnāt wait to have little Candies and little Armins running around the house and to pass down his knowledge lol
he doesnāt know anything about pregnancy though (āWHY DOES IT KICK??ā), which makes waiting part both harder and funnier
in the beginning, he swears to do a lot of things, from buying baby carriage to painting the kidās future room. not all of these are successful (āI know I was supposed to buy a carriage, but look what I found...ā), but what he does, he does with heart
despite his excitement, I donāt think heād go in with Candy, he couldnāt bear sitting in one place, walking up and down in the corridor is better. when he finally hears his child, heād rush in immediately though, to embrace the two of them
Itās a really random something I thought about today, so why not
Armin:
it might be surprising at first, but Armin likes to wake up early
personally, I refuse that shitty job he has canonically, because it doesnāt sound anything at all like him. he has a job what he actually enjoys, but something he can do from home
when you arrive home, he sometimes surprises you with already finished lunch
but if not, you make it together tho the washing is yours
he still spends a lot of time with playing inside, so after a time you buy him a pet
he totally refuses to care for that pet, but if youāre careful enough you can see him cuddling it :)
going to an amusement park is a quite usual habit for the two you
Castiel:
chaotic days are average days, but thatās okay
you might be having breakfast when he stands up I have an idea!, grabs his guitar and plays something
heās a little bit shy when he has the first ideas for a song, but still asks for your opinion and values it just as much as the other band membersā
always be ready to walk Pancake, because sometimes he just canāt, heās too tired to go out and possibly meet other people
he often lets you dye his hair, but if you ever braid it while heās asleep, prepare to die tho he secretly likes it
he gets pretty embarassed if you play his songs, bonus you sing it too, bonus if you canāt sing
when he falls asleep, you could even tear down the whole house, heād sleep anyway
Kentin:
Kentin likes to overlseep, but opening a pack of cookies can wake him up very fast
he likes to snack occasionally, but overall he eats healthily. he doesnāt follow any specific diet, but helps you with it if you do
he also works out every day, usually at Kimās gym, but he burnt most of his camo clothes on a sacrificial bonfire already
sometimes you just lay out in your garden or in the park, even after itās already dark
with him, expect a lot of random baking-marathons
you usually bake much more than you can eat, so you often invite over your friends
Lysander:
again, I refuse Lysanderās canon life after high school. I imagine him keeping the farm and often being there too, but in my mind he lives in the city and Leigh helps him with the farm
so when youāre at the farm he likes to change his Victorian style clothes and gives all in all cowboy vibes, and after a time he keeps it in other days too. normal days he wears jeans and a plaid shirt, but every time you go out somewhere (which is pretty often) he changes back to his very elegant clothes
and yes, you often eat out. not every day, but you often have dinner in a restaurant, even without a special occasion
after high school he doesnāt go to university, but joins the music industry as a singer / songwriter. heād have a hard time deciding between having a solo carrier and being part of Crowstorm
after youāre done with work, he usually waits for you in the parking lot, maybe even go in when your shift is over with a bouquet a flowers
I think you have a flat, because having two houses with a garden to tend to would be too much. the flat would be relatively big tho
I also think that you have a piano as Lysander knows and likes to play on it. sometimes heād sing too and his heart just dies if you join in
Nathaniel:
between the two of you, Nathaniel is the one who wakes up sooner
he doesnāt let you sleep in for long tho, especially if you have to go to work, but heās not too harsh with waking you up. he even brings you breakfast to bed sometimes
when he goes to work, he still likes to be updated with small messages like I just burnt the whole kitchen down or something like that
but no, honestly, he likes receiving small messages from you during his day
because being a police inspector takes a lot of time, even when heās home, you always use your time together to go somewhere
if you have any hobbies, expect him to join in or at least read after it a bit
he works out daily and he also tries to make you go with him. he accepts if you say no, but appreciates if you go and watch him regardless of you not working out
in the evenings, you watch your favourite show together or just a movie. if you sleep asleep in the during it, he carries you back to your bed, switches off the TV and slips next to you, careful not to wake you up
