Headcanons what it would be like to be in a relationship with Sir Gideon Ofnir
Sir Gideon Ofnir (Elden Ring) x F!Reader
Warnings: manipulation, toxic relationship, non-consensual surveillance, non-explicit implications of Smut
Note: By the way, I love your fanfictions on AO3! Finally I can use all my Elden Ring lore knowledge! It was a little hard to write headcanons for him because he has a complex personality and I wasn't quite sure how dark to portray the relationship. I hope it makes sense what I wrote. :3
Sir Gideon is a paragon of reliability and dependability, a stalwart ally who will stand with you through thick and thin, and remain steadfastly at your side, come what may
His romantic nature is evident in his belief in grand gestures, and his willingness to go above and beyond to demonstrate his deep affection for his partner
“Harken to me, fair one, and heed my words. May the celestial bodies above, in their infinite wisdom, guide you to your throne, yes, to our throne. You are only one step away from your destiny, for all you have to do is approach the Elden Ring and accept the mantle of the Elden Lord. Let us go hand in hand on a journey of discovery, where we will explore the mysteries of heresy, the laws of causality, and the tumultuous realm of chaos. Together we will learn and grow, and together we will rule over this land, as one. One great power, one true order. Let us unite as lord and lady, my love... my dear
As a knight, he is instinctively protective of those he loves, and will spare no effort to ensure their safety and wellbeing
Sir Gideon is a man of tradition, steeped in the old ways of chivalry, which dictate that he must treat his lady with respect, dignity, and honor at all times
His approach to decision-making is characterized by careful deliberation, rather than impulsive action, indicating a level-headed temperament
He can be a man of action, always eager to embark on new and thrilling adventures, pushing his partner out of her comfort zone and helping her discover new things about herself
His inclination towards intellectual pursuits is evident in his interest in studying ancient ruins and researching books, with a preference for gaining knowledge and learning. This is also something he would like to do with his partners
The prospect of exploring Liurnia of the Lakes with his partners, an area steeped in ancient knowledge, would particularly appeal to him
Sir Gideon is a patient and attentive lover, who takes great care to understand and fulfill his lady's needs and desires
Gideon can be a passionate person, and this would translate into his lovemaking, where he is fully present in the moment, making his partner feel desired and fulfilled in every way possible
He is an excellent communicator, both as a conversationalist and a listener, and his extensive knowledge and experience as a knight make him an invaluable teacher, able to guide his partner through anything, from sword fighting to horse riding
Despite his many virtues, there may be complex and multifaceted aspects to Sir Gideon's personality that could pose challenges for those in a relationship with him. These hidden, multilayered aspects of his persona are, at times, dark and difficult to navigate, and may require a great deal of patience, understanding, and compassion on the part of his partner to overcome
Sir Gideon's vast knowledge and intellectual prowess are formidable tools that he may use to steer the conversation and shape the dynamic of his romantic relationships. He is highly attuned to his partner's emotional needs and weaknesses, and may use this insight to manipulate her into behaving in a way that suits his desires. Employing tactics such as guilt, shame, or other negative emotional manipulation techniques is not beyond him
“Verily, you are fortunate to have my presence in your life. Indeed, no one other than me truly understands and appreciates your value. You shall be full of gratitude for the attention and affection I show you. Moreover, you shall fulfill everything I ask of you without hesitation or question. That is the depth of my understanding and care for you.”
Furthermore, his dedication to independence is a noteworthy aspect of his personality, which may result in a reluctance to engage in emotional intimacy in a romantic relationship, prioritizing work over love
In his pursuit of his goals, Sir Gideon can become hyper-focused and neglectful of his relationships. Though it is not apathy, he may not always express affection through gestures or kind words, due to his preoccupation with work and knowledge
“In this world of disunity and despair, I have no chamber for love. The fate of the world rests on me, truly. My work is far from complete, and I must do it with all diligence. Although I know it may be troublesome to understand, my work is the only thing that matters. At a later date, I would like to talk to you more, because I think some of my other knowledge may be of use to you. Knowledge that might be... more pleasant.”
His occasionally cynical nature and self-righteousness may make him difficult to work with, and his critical tendencies and lack of active listening skills can be obstacles to effective communication
He possesses a highly critical and sarcastic disposition, and is unafraid to express his opinions, owing to his intelligence
His unfiltered expression of his thoughts and opinions may come across as judgmental, and could potentially hurt his partner's feelings
Gideon Ofnir is also quite controlling and stubborn, which may lead him to reject his partner's advice in certain situations
A relationship with Sir Gideon may require patience, understanding, and empathy, but for those willing to put in the effort, the rewards may be great
Ascertaining the safety of his partner comes at a considerable cost
His vigilance knows no bounds, as it extends far and wide. His ever-present eyes and ears, spread all over the lands, allow him to see every detail, good or bad
He has a network of spies dispersed across the Lands Between, which enables him to keep a watchful eye on his partner's movements, even in the most remote of locations
However, should she be disloyal, he would not hesitate to send Bloody Fingers after her to capture her
