Sometimes When Things Got Too Loud And Too Much, When The Pit In Tanks Chest Got Too Heavy And Too Deep

Sometimes when things got too loud and too much, when the pit in Tanks chest got too heavy and too deep and it felt like it was eating everything up in them. They’d got to Christian, sometimes they’d climb in through his window, sometimes they’d come knocking at his door, sometimes they’d just shoot him a text.

They always went to him though, always go searching for him when they felt the most lost and floating away. When they needed something to tether them back down.

In the beginning, Christian had little to no idea what to do with Tank in that state—hell he didn’t even know what to do with himself most days so there was definitely a learning curve. He never gave up though, he kept helping them get back to themselves.

He knew everyone of Tanks cues and ticks when it came to a fight, when it came to getting under their skin and poking that raging fire that could turn into a warm hearth. Learning their tells for this was a bit harder, they were better at hiding it then the bristling anger.

Tank needed softer hands, softer than what he was used to, needed someone to gently hold them together as they were floating away as their eyes searched for something neither of them knew what for.

Christian knew Tank was small, smaller than Milo especially when they are younger. Tank never cared about their height, even when he would pick on them for it they’d just kick his ass and make him eat concrete. A small smirk on their lips, now though?

It felt like Tank was too small, the way they curled up in his arms, the way he was able to fully cover them like this as they hid from everything in his embrace. Tank was no piece of glass, Christian knew from years of experience and seeing and hearing exactly what they could take to know. But god, it felt like they could shatter at any moment.

All Christian could do was hold them as tightly as he could without hurting them and hide them away from the cruel and harsh world they both knew. Just hold them and gently guide them back to him, soft words falling from his lips and he leaned his head against Tanks. Combing his fingers through their hair, a trick he picked up early when it first started to happen. See how they’d slowly open their eyes and see that dark haze slowly life from those deep eyes.

Watch his Tanker come back to him, they alway did.

“ welcome back Tankie “

You Already Know It. We're Doing More Headcanons. I Present To You: Samuel "definitely not one of my favorites whatever would make you think that /s" Collins.

-Mans buys a two-liter carton of iced tea when he's out on a drive and gets thirsty. He drinks it straight out of the carton and Vincent hates it.

^Yes, this is partially Darlin's fault.

-He actually likes wearing plateaued boots or boots with heels. No clue why, because he doesn't really need the extra height and that type of shoe doesn't usually go with his outfits, but he seems to just enjoy wearing them.

-He tried to do gardening as a hobby once and failed miserably. He did everything right and the plants died anyway.

-Contrary to popular belief, Sam's favorite genre of music isn't country. He actually has a weird obsession with classical music and listens to a lot of rock music from around 2010.

^The weird obsession with classical music originated when Sam was in his early teens. He would put on classical music when he was stressed because it was plenty loud to block out his parents arguing/yelling as well as his own thoughts and it was calm enough to keep him from snapping and getting aggressive.

-Sam is weirdly good at shaping ice. If you hand this man a block of ice and an ice pick he can cut you a detailed flower out of it.

^Instead of doing that, though, he mainly uses this talent to make little heart- or star-shaped ice cubes for his and Darlin's drinks.

-Sam has considered a name change before, but then people started calling him "Sam" instead of "Samuel" more often and he quickly scratched that idea.

Guess The Whole Point Of My Tumblr's Existence (haha "existence" like my name i'm so funny) Is To Share My Headcanons Now. Fine With Me! Gavin-Themed Headcanons, Here We Go!

-I mentioned his obsession with jelly? Yeah, his favorite flavor is the red one with vanilla sauce.

-Whenever the D.A.M.N. Crew gets together, Gavin always goes out of his way to somehow brag about at least one thing Freelancer has done since the last time the group has hung out together (It can be regularly working out for once, it can be staying hydrated properly, or it might be getting their driver's license - Gavin will very casually brag about it).

-Gavin loves pillows. And blankets. He loves cozy, fluffy things, which is why he never gets out of bed on time.

^In addition to that, Freelancer always makes Gavin make the bed when they want to put new sheets on it because Freelancer is not about to move twelve pillows off the bed and then back onto it when their boyfriend can just go whoosh and get it done in an instant.

-Gavin owns two relatively big cases filled with makeup. He, of course, doesn't think he needs it to look good, but he has a lot of fun doing colorful eyeshadow and matching highlighters and lipsticks with it.

-Gavin usually only wears either an oversized t-shirt or his boxers to sleep. It's one or the other, never both (well, sometimes it's neither but oh well-).

^But when he wants to annoy Freelancer, he keeps his socks on, so when he traps one of their legs with his (as he often does because "it's very comfortable") he can scratch their leg with them. Freelancer is not amused.

-As Caelum's visits become more frequent, Gavin always makes more dessert whenever he's planning to have some. Because by now, he's gotten used to having to share his sweets with the empathy daemon.

I Just Got Done Drinking Two Liters Of Black Tea and Am Severely Overcaffeinated, So We're Doing Asher "literally me right now someone please give me sleeping meds" Talbot Headcanons!

-How to make an Ash-catcher: You put coke, orange juice, a tablespoon of sugar, a teaspoon of honey, and a colorful straw into a glass. The smell alone will make Ash come running (not so much the taste, though-).

-Dyes his hair some very obscure color once a year in hopes of it affecting his wolf form. It doesn't, but Ash isn't going to give up (and he's also not going to go through the trouble of having Baabe dye all his fur again).

-Asher plays gacha games. I say "games" but he mainly plays Honkai Impact 3rd.

^He's a Senti main.

^^He hasn't spent a single cent in those games and somehow still has about 3/4 of the available S rank units because he's just that lucky.

^^^Through Baabe, he found out about the recent release of Honkai Star Rail, and upon playing, he kept crying about Himeko.

-His Instagram is "OneBadassAshKetchum:3" but before that, it was "ThatOneBadassBeta:3" which he had to change once David asked him to for the sake of avoiding unempowered people asking questions.

^In addition to this, when he was a teenager, he had a social media account somewhere (he refuses to tell anyone what platform it was on, likely because the account still exists and he doesn't want Milo to find out) and used it to impersonate Milo on it because Ash liked the idea of an "emo blog with sad quotes and pics of a hot rockstar boy." Once Milo found out, his first concern wasn't him taking it down, it was correcting Ash on the fact that he wasn't emo. Then, he asked Ash to stop posting things of him, which he did, but the dead account still exists somewhere.

^^Ash gets weirdly nostalgic about this and yes, he has shown Sweetheart some of the pictures he still has of Milo from back then.

-Ash's favorite flower is the sunflower and he has a lot of them standing around his and Baabe's home.

^Unlike with cooking, Ash is actually pretty decent at taking care of plants. It took a lot of practice and hundreds of dead flowers, but by now he's quite alright at it.

-Ash is a sucker for physical touch. So whenever Baabe doesn't have paper or a canvas to paint on, he will happily offer up his entire body for them to work with.

Milo and Sweetheart on their begrudging detective partners to lovers arc in a fic I'll never finish:
