Redacted Elliott - Tumblr Posts
i’m like useless at writing or art so you get one more headcanon each day for each character!
one for aaron — i think he wanted to be an astronaut growing up, but he didn’t go pursuing that dream because ✨shitty home life✨
his priority was just making sure him and his brother were secure so now he’s working a job he hates
some nights he can be found staring longingly at the moon/stars, thinking about his younger self and consoling his inner child about having to give up everything he loved
🖤Redactober 2024🖤
🎃It’s that time of year again~!🎃
Event Notes:
If you don’t have the voice for Talktober or the dirty mind for Kinktober, why not take part in Redactober- a fun, low-threshold event meant to bring us together as a fandom and inspire us to create and share?
This year, we’ll be going a little more freeform. I give you a Redacted man, listed alphabetically, and you choose the prompt as long as it starts with that man’s first initial. (We’re gonna have to get creative with A-words, y’all.)
With that prompt, create something! Write a fic! Sketch some art! Put together some headcanons, draft a song, canva together a moodboard, wherever the Halloween spirit takes you!
Whatever you create, please tag it “#Redactober 2024” so we can look through them and share. Though I won’t be participating every day due to prior engagements, I’ll be making an effort to reblog all the entries 💕
Have fun 🎃
Ok so boom redacted head canons (if some of my mutuals recognize a few of these no you fucking don't/lh)
Freelancer always has games Caelum likes on their phone, so whenever he pops in he can be entertained, even if freelancer themselves don't play them. Freelancer does, in fact, have games on their phone/lh
Also Caelum loves cookie run
Milo and sweetheart sometimes hate watch bad movies/shows and end up screaming laughing and making fun of them
(Personal hc cause Damien NEEDS to be black) Damien does like to do his hair so it looks nice n curly but whenever his body temp goes up his hair dries up and gets straighter. Therefore he always keeps a hair tie with him so at least his hair won't look awful at all times/lh
David didn't really grow out of some of the habits he had when caelum helped him. For example sometimes when he's extra stressed he makes cookies and angel is probably like "I didn't know you liked cookies like that" and David just goes "i don't." But he still does it when he remembers caelum. Dw the cookies don't go to waste Angel and Asher just inhale those things whole/lh
Sunshine used to have one of those ballerina music boxes when they were a kid. They kept it and even became a comfort item for them. Bonus points if it plays you are my sunshine :]
When Asher and David lived together tank was NOT allowed over while Asher was home the entire house will smell like weed by 12 pm
Milo (auditory processing disorder) Greer
Asher Milo David and tank all had friendship bracelets when they were kids. Tank probably lost it much to their dismay, Asher still has it but has no clue where it is, Milo gave his to Tank, and David's is probably in his night stand drawer or smth but he'll be damned if anyone knows he still has it
Ok that's it everyone leave me alone/lh
HEADCANONS PT 2 no one can save you from the inevitable.
Asher also calls David babe. Not cause they're dating (though they could-) but as a little haha jokey joke. Asher's been doing it for years
Vincent has a massive sweet tooth. I like to think he particularly likes anything cherry flavored
Elliott and sunshine have a tradition where every new years eve they spend the night at Elliott's house. They'd sit on the roof and put on a live stream of the countdown on their phones with snacks and they'd just watch the fireworks. Bonus if they accidentally fall asleep together on the roof
They also LOVE stranger things
DUDE BRACHIUM FUCKEN LOVED UNUS ANNUS/j
Huxley smells like sage and incense smoke. And yknow. Weed probably.
Gavin sleeps during class sometimes and lasko has made it his god given autistic right to shoot rubber bands at him whenever he does
Hux and Damien do yoga dates. Where they do less yoga and more sitting on their mats and talking about bullshit
Gavin keeps a list of all the shit his friends are into (like if they're all watching a movie together and smth happens in the movie that someone is into, he'll feel that). Lasko has the most under his list. It would be really funny if lasko sees him pulling out a little notebook quickly scribbling smth down and lasko is like "wait what-"
Even though Milo isn't a healer, Marie is his mother and leaves an influence on him. Therefore sometimes Milo tends to scold people the same way Marie would 💕
Yes freelancer does have sexy hot pictures of Gavin on their phone, but they also have the most cryptic blurry pictures of him too that makes him look like the creature he is (idek if they'd even be able to do that. Frankly I don't care)
Guy and honey never eat at their table. It's always either on the couch or on their bed. Sometimes they even eat on the floor cause why not.
Aight that's it have fun
Hi! I just waited in line for 7 hours I believe I've been cooking and added to the cooking today so have. Also since y'all seem to like BALLS so much.
Hush and kitty
Aaron and Elliott
Expect DamiHux in all of these posts
A therapy session with Cam keeps the demons away!
I think I'm funny
(its Avion but it looks like an r)
Give them a break
He here for snuggles
And Sammy boy expressing what I felt today
People say I am a big brain. Idk about any of those things but to that I say: have one more again. This one is weaker but you get it, same thing as the ones before

- he only talks to you out of everyone
- "why? heh. Dumb question, warden."
- you still ask anyway. he laughs. full of pain
- "did you kill my pet, warden?"
- what? What is he talking about? And why would you do that...
- vega turns his back to you. Until you confess, he says
- he has been in here for a long time. maybe it was someone from the past and he can't live in the present.
- he wants his pet back. he wants noone else but them. but you dont know who that was...
----
Vega > Regulus

- and you dont. You listen. You are now his company. He never stops holding your hand.
(jax note: this specific swap might be edited or completely reworked later)
----
Regulus > Caelum
Self-claimed Prince Daemon
- Was Polaris' greatest student, perhaps that got into his brain a bit,,
- this is a headcanon fun bit of what if Regulus wasnt fallen and was Leo constellation, so enjoy!
- he is all huffy and puffy at first
- "hey! Wake up! You do not sleep on Caelum like that!" owie! Did he just hit you by a pillow??
- "you are awake. Good. Now up! We have so much to do!" god what is this flying pipsqueak?
- "pipsqueak?! I beg your pardon?? I am Caelum, an empathy daemon and now, you are my charge! Simple to understand, now chop chop! Clean your face and ugh... Please, wear some clean clothes, looks like you didnt change for three days. We have to fix that! Coooomeeeee ooooonnnnn!!" okay he is pulling you from the bed. You cant win here freelancer
- he sounds like a spoiled brat and he maybe is, but slowly by time, you get to know him more and see that he is just a little guy with a job and heart on the right place. His methods can be dramatic, but he means well
- he says that you are ready for D.A.M.N., that the hidden talent in you is more than just your powers.
- "i think Gavin will help us here. He is a bit stupid, but he always gives me cookies!" blunt much, Caelum?
----
Caelum > Cam
Bubbly Serenity Daemon
- always so curious about human culture, both old and modern
- he especially likes bubbles
- "wow, how fascinating... this is truly wonderful!" he loves colors too
- "e-ehm, pardon my, uh... excitement. My name is C-Cam-Cam-Camelopardalis and i am your today's... wait, no, that doesn't make sense... does it?"
- he is a very polite, kind guy. he tries to always help, he just had a problem put words to the correct order (me fr)
- he loves walking outside in the sun. He is like a cat - he likes sunbathing and is kinda afraid of water (hmmm)
- he is a very tall guy, always hits himself in the head, god bless,,,
- he just stands out by how pretty and tall he is
- he writes little notes about his clients, mostly positive ones with stars and hearts! Perhaps mostly about you
- the walls of his office are full of fun stuff, like globe, astrology maps of constellations, dreamcatchers, oil paintings, etc.
- "i... i cant believe i found a friend between humans... thank you."
----
Cam > Hush
Soothing Entity
- you dont know who he is, what he is, but he is following you for days like a lost cat. Something about you is... attracting him. He wants to be near you.
- he is always sitting in your window, watching, but never daring to take a step inside
- "what are you doing?" he finally asks, after days of just watching you.
- "you're always here. And im always waiting" but for what? You ask
- "i dont know, doctor." and he goes to rest.
- you believe thats not true and you might be right. He seems to be hiding.
- there are demons around your place, around Dahlia. It drives you insane. You feel afraid. What are even those guys doing here? You did nothing wrong, right?
- and with hush, it got worse...
- "please, dont be afraid of me, doctor. I'm here for you. Please, doctor."
(jax note: this one might be changed too)
----
Hush > Elliott
Unknown Dreamwalker
- you didnt have to do any of this. You could've just leave him there, you could've had a normal life. Normal in rubbish and loneliness, but...
- just look at him. He is not normal. He is a fucking... superhero?? Supervillain??
- "sunshine..." oh yeah and that dumb nickname. Better than a nightmare, but... why does he looks at you that way??
- "I'm grateful." yeah yeah
- apparently, those guys are from some department he escaped. He was always an orphan, somehow sneaked into a normal orphanage and got adopted, but a mess happened and now... You dont understand any of it
(jax note: i just didnt have more ideas but take it as Elliott being mysterious /j)
This song is so sunshine when they were in the basement.
“Dream about me..”
LIKE HELLO? YOU CAN YOU TELL ME THIS WASNT THEM IN THE BASEMENT?
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT THEY DIDNT HOPE ELLIOT WAS DREAMING ABOT THEM??
I DIDNT THINK SO.
Dear definitely has one.
*Cough* also transfem sunshine has one too.*cough* And it’s bigger than Elliot’s/hj *cough*
Sorry, somthing was caught in my throat
It was Sunshine
Guys which listener has the biggest metaphorical/actual dick?
mE personally, I'm thinkin' Darlin' and Doc
it’s been my hc for a while that close knit had something to do with the shade attack, and while we’re at it, kody definitely is a part of the cult. the way he tried purposely to get people killed during the inversion, like..it’s shady. no pun intended.

We're Having More Character Nicknames Because I'm Bored! Unempowered Listeners Edition:
Honey: My beloved menace (/favorite menace)/Mine/Guy (but very affectionately if that makes sense?)
Sunshine: Moonlight (because a: they love the night sky and b: they love the idea of having matching names for each other)
Smartass: Smartmouth/Mister Know It All
Ollie's Babe: Ollie/My Favorite
Flyboi Ivan's Baby: Dearest/Pretty Boy
Angel, Asher, Darlin, Damien, and Elliott are the "scary and threatening and very very very intimidating" blankie monster that hides under the blanket and you can only see their face from the nose upward and half of a hand while they refuse to leave bed.
David and Sunshine are the insistent type who will get their partner out of bed one way or another.
Baabe and Sam know it will take some time to get their grumpy/lazy mate out of bed, so they leave and come back to tempt them with food ten minutes later.
Huxley just straight up gives in and cuddles with Damien until he realizes that his lying and hiding in bed has made him late for something and has him jump out from under his blanket cave and rush through the house to get ready.
Our beloved Redacted cast as sodas I drink regularly (and sodas I loathe with my entire existence) in order of how much I like said drink:
Darlin - Coke. No debate.
Damien - Diet Coke. No difference between this one and the first.
Angel - Chupa Chups strawberry and cream flavor. Because they're so sweet <3
Guy - Mountain Dew. Always a good time and knows how to keep me up all night.
Freelancer - Coke and orange juice mix. Always a solid choice and Freelancer knows it.
Frederick - Fanta pineapple flavor. So sweet, too much sugar - my poor heart can't take it! /pos in the most "/pos" way to ever "/pos."
Lasko - Chupa Chups watermelon flavor. Very sweet but somehow still refreshing.
Asher - Fanta berry flavor. For some reason it makes me think of him.
Blake - Regular Fanta. Usually too sticky for my tastes, but I can enjoy it like once every six months-
Gavin - 7 Up. Only better than Sprite because it's not as sticky.
Elliott - Pepsi. I honestly have no idea why.
Vinecnt - Coke cherry flavor. It just doesn't mix well in terms of soda - take Coke or cherry but not both for the love of god (Still love Vincent tho and a coke/cherry slushy does taste amazing <3).
Kody - Sprite. He and it are sticky and I don't like it.
Regulus - Dr.Pepper - Better than Root Beer by like .0001%
Sam - Root Beer. He might like it but I sure as hell don't (but unlike Vincent, I am severely judging this man despite my undying love for him).
Assigning the Redacted cast Genshin mains because somebody has to.
Asher: Just wants to play Fu Hua, but she doesn't exist here, so this man is a Dps Barbara main just to cause chaos.
Sweetheart: Was a Jean main until Itto came out.
Milo: Was turned into a Gorou main once Sweetheart got Itto. He didn't play the game before then and sarcastically hates Sweetheart's constant "dog boy" jokes.
Angel: The thirstiest Raiden main to ever be a Raiden main.
David: ...That man mains Diluc and Angel gives him so much shit for it (and, to be fair, he doesn't even really "main" Diluc, seeing how David hardly plays the game).
Darlin: Geo Traveler because they want to piss off Angel.
Lovely: A Keqing main who still believes she has real cat ears.
Sam: Noelle main because claymore characters are the only ones slow enough for him to keep track of and he needs the shield because otherwise he will perish.
Vincent: A Eula main. Obviously.
Gavin: A Rosaria/Yelan main. Again, obviously.
Damien: "Stop fucking healing me" the Hu Tao main.
Lasko: Sucrose main turned Heizou main.
Huxley: His main is Itto, but his best built character is Nahida.
Freelancer: A Sayu main who strictly refers to her as "the lazy avatar."
Kody: A (very badly built) Xiao main.
Blake: Wanderer main. I will not elaborate.
Bestie: Yae Miko main because they enjoy thirsting over fictional characters.
Sunshine: Ayaya main who only refers to her as "Ayaya."
Elliott: Ayato main because he likes how well he and Ayaka play together. Switches mains to support Sunshine's.
Starlight: Yanfei main (no idea why tho).
Avior: "This is a what game?"
Because They're Funny, I've Taken More Things My Friend Has Said And Shoved Them Down Some Characters'/Listeners' Throats.
Elliott: Do you want one of my Mars ice cream? They're great depression food.
Sunshine: I'm lactose intolerant.
Elliott: ._.
Darlin: I'mma go look if I have them on Blu-ray. I probably don't, but I wanna check.
Sam: Yeh you do that.
Darlin: Oh you're coming with me, it's 1:08am - I ain't going nowhere on my own
Sam: I will be here, don't worry.
(Book ramble intensifies)
Lasko: Oh my god I'm rambling why didn't you say something?
Water Elemental: I like listening to people talk, that's why -w-
Lasko: :')
Water Elemental: It's one of my few good qualities-
Lasko: SHSHSHSH
Baabe: I mean, I've read quite a few books over the last two years, sooo
Asher: "Quite a few" 100+
Baabe: No... 96.
Asher: Same thing.
(Gacha games)
Angel: I pulled Herrscher of Human Ego just for the sake of it and now I don't know what to do with her
David: Who..?
Angel: Pink hot girl with cuteness and ice damage
David: Oh
(Texting at a family reunion)
Darlin: I want to go back to my laptop
Angel: Oh, you're on your phone?
Darlin: Ye I'm in the living room being social and all that happy shit with my family
Angel: Dang
Sam: They're such a golden retriever sometimes.
David: "Sometimes" - You know, when they're not killing people.
Lovely: I just woke up, sorry.
Vincent: Did you sleep well?
Lovely: No, the heat is awful and I want to kill the sun.
(Trying to write a book but the person helping you has seen too many bad fan-fictions.)
Angel: Please don't put the word "dominated" into a serious context because I will fold laughing.
Baabe: WOW OK
Angel: I'M SORRY-
Baabe: Would "conducted" make you feel better?
Angel: T r a i n s- but yea.
Baabe: What? Why trains?
Angel: Because train conductor? Trains.
Baabe: Oh...
Baabe: No.
Darlin: How does it feel to have me rant this chat filled with my need for hot vampire men? Great, I know ._.
Angel: This is actually quite entertaining, I have to admit.
As per request, I will assign the Redacted cast Honkai Star Rail mains (also because I have been all over this game since release and am therefore most certainly the most qualified person for this job):
Asher: Still waiting for Fu Hua to make an appearance, but he almost cried when he saw Himeko and did cry when he pulled her. The Honkai Impact 3rd vet is now a Himeko main.
Baabe: Herta main because they thought she was cute.
Milo: A Jing Yuan main whose main team is based on follow-up attacks.
Sweetheart: A Welt Yang main who almost threw their phone the first time they saw and recognized him (they, like Asher, are also a Honkai Impact 3rd player).
Angel: Hook main solely to cause chaos.
David: Refuses to play this game, but would likely be a Clara main if he were to play.
Darlin: So far all of their pulls on standard and all their lost 50/50s have resulted in an E3 Gepard, which they've taken as a sign from whatever higher power that they must turn this man into a dps.
Sam: (Actually good at this game btw) has a team full of supports only and mains Asta.
Lovely: Serval main "because she's hot" (Vincent 100% agrees).
Vincent: Has been saving for Kafka since day one, but then Blade came out, and now all his Stellar Jade is gone.
Gavin: Yukong main (I tell you this, as a Yukong main).
Freelancer: Silver Wolf because "Why do the enemies always have the toughness I can't break with my current team?!"
Lasko: Somehow turned March 7th into a possible dps by building her follow-up attacks (also plays the freeze team of Herta/Pela/March/Gepard).
Lasko's Co-worker: Best Bailu build in all of Dahlia because god knows the d.a.m.n. crew doesn't build their healers properly.
Huxley: Bronya, because he likes playing and building supports.
Damien: Seele, because he likes doing big damage.
Kody: A very edgy Dan Heng main.
Elliott: Sushang main because big c-
Sunshine: Yanqing main. Don't ask why. I just feel like it.
Guy: Sampo. No explanation needed, I hope.
Honey: E6 Natasha which was originally built because Guy has no idea how to build healers correctly but after E6, Natasha just became a dps. Guy is scared of their build.
Besite: Qinque main because Bestie and Qinque give off the same vibe.
Blake: An Arlan main because symbolism.
Ollie: Pela main. He somehow knows her full name and how to write it properly.
Mentor: A Tingyun main because they think she's cute.
Aaron & Smartass: Preservation and Destruction path Trailblazer. This was Smartass' idea because they thought it would be funny.
Saw someone do something like this somewhere, no idea where the post went otherwise I would have linked it but whatever-
Assigning Redacted characters Mindless Self Indulgence songs (From someone who is very normal about that band) in no particular order and with the occasional quote from the song:
Gavin: Tight. [I didn't have a say in the matter, he picked it himself-]
Damien: Witness. [Me assigning him this song is a positive thing, I promise.]
Huxley: On It. [The Imperium is strong with this one...]
Kody: Get It Up. [ :) ]
Lasko: Revenge. [We all know this man just wants to bash some heads in and is doing his best not to.]
The Shaw pack in general: Ass Backwards. [Listen to the song, it's a vibe.]
Vincent: Molly. [Because Vincent was a good girl and he knew the reasons why-]
Sam: Bed Of Roses. [He deserves his little emo song, let him have it.]
Alexis: Evening Wear. [Originally planned on only doing voiced characters, but "It's not fair to be compared to you" is a line that just fit too well.]
William(/Vega): 1989. [*insert old man joke here]
Elliott: What Do They Know. ["Mess me up beyond all recognition. For what it's worth, I'd do it again" - because this man will sacrifice himself and everything for Sunshine with no regrets and we love him for that.]
Blake: Pay For It. ["I don't want you to hate me. I want you to wanna hate me. I don't want you to date me, I want you to wanna date me" - his constant internal struggle with his feelings for Bestie summed up very nicely.]
Regulus: 3 S'. [Doesn't fit 100% but the sentiment is there.]
Avior: Due. [I could quote a line from the song here, but I'd end up just putting most of the lyrics here. So. "Die, my darling" is the one I will go with.]
Guy: Bitches. ["This is how it should be done" indeed.]
Aaron: Mastermind. [No, I will not elaborate.]
Honorable listener mention:
Freelancer: Sex for Homework. [In homage to their humble beginnings.]
To offer the other version of my previous (crack) fic idea:
Redacted characters becoming self-aware.
Sam gets to have an existential crisis, David gets to be forced into calming all of his pack mates down, Gavin and Guy get to make jokes about being the sexiest and most simped for characters of the show, Damien gets to try his best at finding a logical explanation for all this, Ollie can have a comfort audio and realize that that's his whole character, Elliott, Avior and Blake will get to complain about all the shit they've been put through for the amusement of faceless strangers - it'd be great!
Eggs.
Asher's dad, Darlin, Guy, Milo, and Damien make the best scrambled eggs to ever exist.
Vincent, Freelancer, Ollie, Doc, and Honey make great fried eggs in all their variations.
David, Elliott, Avior, Sam, and Huxley make an awesome omelet.
Sweetheart, Geordi, Gavin, Lasko's co-worker, and Marie make the cutest and most delicious egg rolls.
Describing Redacted characters in one sentence or less (brackets don't count) but it gets progressively less comprehensive:
David: Big werewolf alpha dude (not the cringe kind)
Milo: Smol werewolf dude (the big kind)
Damien: Hot tsundere (literally)
Morgan: Non-existent
Guy: A heart-shaped pizza with all your favorite toppings that you can top yourself if you want-
Nick: Cat boi (definitely the cringe kind)
Ollie: Comfort food
Blake: Cold soup
Gavin: The reason I cry myself to sleep once a week
James: Needs to go tf home.
Asher: The canonical energizer bunny
Lasko: Me
Huxley: Me on anxiety meds
Caelum: Cotton candy given human form.
Anton: A testament to Erik's voice acting and general acting skills.
Marcus: Very killable.
Kody: Looks like great cake but actually went bad five months ago.
Elliott: Had an edible for breakfast and hasn't eaten since.
Hudson: Trying to eat serotonin with chopsticks.
Brachium: An edible pretending to be a gummy worm.
Vincent: Talks like what perfume tastes like.
Ivan: Saltwater in your eyes but it might just be your tears and you honestly don't even care at this point.
Aaron: Sand in your mouth and between your teeth but you're enjoying it.
Sam: If blankets could talk, they'd sound and speak like him.
Eric: That feeling you get when looking at an empty closet.
Camelopardalis: Anxiety meds in the form of a flesh prison.
Avior: If you unhinged your jaw, you could eat him.
Vega: You can drink him with a straw (and only with a straw).
Hush: You can eat him.
