Hermaeus Mora Headcanons

Hermaeus Mora Headcanons

-Hermaeus Mora has a distinct scent, as if someone left a rotten fish on a musty old book for several hours before removing it. Incidentally, this is also the smell of Apocrypha.

-One way to instantly get on his bad side is to call him Hermie. Sheogorath does this on occasion just to watch his reaction.

-Most of the books used to build the library itself are in some stage of decay. On occasion, the Seekers will become desperate enough to find a certain piece of knowledge that they’ll attempt pulling newer additions out of the columns, bringing entire swathes of library down around them.

-Each of Hermaeus Mora’s eyes sees differently. Some are far-sighted, some are near-sighted, and some see in other light spectrums entirely. He can create new eyes at will, which is handy if attempting to peer into tight spaces.

-As powerful as the daedric princes are, there’s a reason they keep to their own universe. If you’re feeling especially brave, ask Hermaeus about the time another eldritch horror thought he was seafood. (Or, ask Sheogorath. He’ll tell you all about it.)

SCP Foundation/Addams Family Headcanons

I might write a story about these eventually, but feel free to use these in your own fics, as well. Just be sure to credit, and share a link if you'd be so kind!

-The Shy Guy (SCP-096): The Addamses actually consider him to be quite handsome (look at that lovely pallor!), which boosts his self-esteem, at least temporarily. He may or may not be Lurch's distant cousin.

-The Plague Doctor (SCP-049): Naturally, the family is immune to his touch of death, and actually consider him to be a good doctor. Grandmama especially enjoys his youth-enhancing brews. Morticia and Gomez keep trying to play matchmaker for him since he's so handsome and so good with the kids, but he isn't interested since it would interfere with his life's work. He has been the Addams’ family physician for centuries. (Bonus: He also knows the Munsters, but Grandpa considers him a quack. They enjoy getting into scientific arguments.)

-The Statue (SCP-173): Peanut enjoys posing for Morticia's paintings (always the same pose, but that doesn't seem to matter). He'll also let the kids draw on him as long as they wash it off. Uncle Fester likes his neck massages.

-Dr. Wondertainment: A long-time friend and business partner of Gomez Addams, who has become a friend to the family. He sends Wednesday and Pugsley a new toy every Halloween.
