Potential F/o: The Horned King - Tumblr Posts
As a more light and fluffy request, I would love your perspective on Hades, Captain Hook, and the Horned Kings flirting styles <3
Beeeeeeeee this is so cute I can't 🥰
Bring on the fluff I'm blushing as I write this, hope you enjoy!
Flirting Styles for:
Hades
Babble. Just absolute babble.
Hades's excitement at the prospect of spending even a minute in your company expresses itself in an unruly pink tinted flame and verbal word spout. Do the words even make sense? No. Is he laughing at his own jokes and experiencing Instant Regret at not thinking this through? Oh, yes.
He can't exactly do flowers ok?! And people react weird to gems and precious metals being used instead (he does Not want a repeat of being thought to buy peoples company, especially not you.) He can make things from smoke but they aren't permanent -
He can learn your favourite places (yay, stalking? Uh-) or try and get you somewhere romantic, but is it romantic of him to basically coerce you there?? Titans Help Him he's overthinking this.
If by now you're not scared off then he *might* be able to get his head screwed on enough to actually try flirting properly.
Puns. Puns and touch. Aphrodite smite him if you can't gel with the corny baseline of his personality this is a lost cause -
Oh - oh - you're laughing? At him? With him? You're not moving away? Is that a blush?!?
HA he's still got it! C'mon babe, let's keep it coming~
Captain Hook
I'm sorry did you ask for the most gentlemanly gent to ever gentle in your presence?
Dashing, charming, chivalrous - hand kisses and acts of service abound.
Do you need an escort? Of course you do- let him accompany you! SMEE! Get the bags!
So many terms of endearment - 'my dear' being chief among them.
He's going to bow and whisk off his hat every time he sees you, this dramatic bastard.
He would try letters and poetry but honestly none would make it out if his cabin as he feels it's doesn't convey his feelings enough. If you ever find the stash hidden away in his desk you're going to get one hell of a blush and one very panic striken Hook.
WILL defend your honour, start swordfights in the streets just to show off his skill and wink at you mid combat.
Hand holding/physical affection is the next level up ok, that's when it gets serious.
The Horned King
What IS flirting??
What do you mean standing ominously in a room with his crush isn't communicating his feelings??
Very tempted just to kidnap you and call it a day.
He's observant and very good at blending in with the background. He will remember practically everything you've ever said or done, and call upon that knowledge to - hesitantly - start a conversation.
The King's love language is quality time. Simply spending time with you is enough for him, which makes moving things along a bit more uncertain.
Like Hades, flowers and greenery wilt in his presence, and he's well aware of what he looks like so he refrains from initiating touch.
He couldn't stand seeing the disgust on your face if he tried
Will offer to torture or kill your enemies if you have any. If not then well he's stumped.
This man does what he wants when he wants. A clear sign of his respect and interest is that he will abide by your boundaries as if they were laws. Those that don't do the same in his presence will receive broken bones at minimum.
Will teach the gwythents that you are off limits. Oh you, you want to pet the gwythents? Give him a month and you'll be riding them.
Once he has some confidence that this is indeed, mutual interest, he becomes much more verbal.
He's another one to use 'my dear', though you may find him slipping into ancient Welsh when he thinks you can't hear him.
If you express interest, will offer to teach you said ancient Welsh.
Now he's in deep.
Marriage headcanons for The Horned King please? 👀👀
*banging pots and pans together in a cavern somewhere* ANON YOUR MIND-
Let's get this Lich a harem STAT here we go:
The Horned King Marriage Headcannons
I think, after he manages to recover from the revelation that yes, you BOTH want to tie the knot and he's not daydreaming in a cellar full of skeletons right now, I think he would want two ceremonies.
The first ceremony is for the kingdoms.
He IS a royal and a threat at large to his neighbours - guests are not invited so much as made at sword point to attend. Those that dawdle or don't show are next on the invasion list.
Your chosen guests/family get a distinctively less threatening welcome but he won't stand for even well meaning questioning of your union. So , uh, warn them beforehand k?
He would want you to match. It's a wedding and coronation in one, a second throne atop the dias securing your position as Queen.
I don't know who the Fuck would officiate this or even condone it, but any alterations or plans you have are gladly accepted. He's never done this before, what even is tradition, send help.
He spends months pouring over his vows. He does not take this lightly.
Has a dress created for you that threatens to dislocate his jaw when he sees you wearing it. How are you his, again? You're perfect-
Won't even think to upgrade his own look until you mention it. Time to crack out his old armour...
Flower goblin Creeper because he does not trust the foul little thing with something as precious as the rings.
Instead the rings are hung around the gwythents necks. Badass entrance and execution.
The second ceremony, once the first is said and done, is done alone.
This is the one that means so much more. The first was a declaration, this is the promise.
The vows are quiet but ring in your ears as he whispers them, your foreheads pressed together, hands entwined.
"I will persist as long as you do, my dear." He gently raises your hand to his empty chest, eyes scarlet but not with fire. "Be it one lifetime, or a thousand more."
