Your gateway to endless inspiration
please talk more about Helia TOT the only things I can get of him are crumbs TTOOTTTT!!!!!! (But like can I get more Helia and Riven head canons plllssss <:]]]? I don't mind if they're shipy lol (I like reading about your head canons about Helia, it's awesome!!!)
UE UE UE it's a hard life being a helia stan </3
i'll do ship headcanons since the others are platonic!
i Love thinking about how they would even realize they like each other??? because you know these idiots would not realize. riven gets stuck in his "helia is a little stuck up prissy pants" until they become friends and helia is in his little "i don't need friends they disappoint me" phase for literally two years so like? when.
so basically i'm thinking they speedrun enemies to friends but slowburn friends to lovers
and eventually it's kinda like the one spiderman meme but instead of it being two people recognizing each other it's these two idiots realizing they like each other
also that one meme but it's sky rushing into their room screaming "I KNEW YOU GUYS WERE DATING" and helia puts his book down and goes "we are? why didn't you tell me :("
riven mindlessly plays with helia's hair so much. like it's literally autopilot, he doesn't even think about it.
i think riven likes to kiss helia's neck! and helia likes to mindlessly play with riven's hand which occasionally means kissing them if they're in range (also the occasional bite because it surprises riven every time. you'd think he'd be used to it at this point but no??)
riven ropes helia into pranking the other specialists! everyone is fair game but of course sky is a popular target. riven thinks there's an added benefit to dating helia because sky lets him get away with everything but then he realizes sky just doubles back on him 😞
helia looks up "harmless pranks" much to riven's annoyance but they do complete every single one on every single list they can find. god they're so annoying </3
when they argue it can get pretty ugly :( but not because of them! they tend to argue once and then silently brood until someone breaks first but when they do that the specialists tend to side with helia and that obviously just makes riven feel worse, especially when helia's the one in the wrong.
one of their arguments started with helia saying he didn't want riven trying to protect him during missions anymore and riven edgelord supreme immediately assumes that helia is undermining him again and they keep going back and forth until helia finally just yells that it's because he loves riven and doesn't want him to get hurt. cue harsh silence and ~prolonged eye contact~
pain
on a cuter note, they love going to cafes and restaurants! meal dates are literally their favorite kind of date and they almost always eat together anyway so why not?
they do still get jealous every now and then but they're also at a point where they're now so confident that they just scoff to themselves when someone tries to flirt with the other aljdghdjla it's both cute and infuriating (sky: you can't be that full of yourself, riven: nsfw joke that i can't say because i want this post to be safe boooo)
