tAVROS NITRAM GENERAL HEADCANNONS
Wow go off I guess, you wanna date this guy? good, you should
He first sees you on the monitor, you looked. Happy? The world was ending and you just radiated this happiness and confidence.
He wanted to talk to you, so he did. it was really awkward the first time
“uHH, hI, i REALLY LIKE YOUR HAIR,, iT LOOKS NICE”
“oh um, is this a new form of trolling you guys are doing?”
“n,nO, i DONT THINK SO, i THOUGHT YOU LOOKED NICE SO I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU,”
“oh well thanks! Im.. well you probably already know who i am. all you trolls seem to know me already.”
“uH YEAH”
“cool, so, “adiosToreador” what are we talking about?”
Wow holy shit, you were so much nicer than all your human friends. He felt actual, real, confidence.
He had so much fun talking to you, so much that I had to write two conversations with you both.
“hey hey, tavy? you on? it says you are.”
“tav?”
“tavros?”
“uH YEAH, iM HERE SORRY, i WAS JUST GETTING MY LEGS CUT OFF,”
“TAVROS-“
Yeah, tavros is a whole pack of worms, NOW WHEN HE CONFESSED TO JADE YOU HAD LIKED HIM SO YEAH
“uH, i MAY OR WAY NOT HAVE CONFESSED TO ONE OF YOUR HUMAN FRIENDS, wITH RED FEELINGS IN MIND, aFTER ALL YOU KNOW THAT WITH MY AMAZING CONFIDENCE SHE WAS BOUND TO SAY YES“
“tavros, i- bye.”
“wAIT”
Yeah it was a bit awkward for a few days.
BUT once you finally got to asteroid he was so excited to see you, he would not stop talking to Rufioh about you.
Whe he saw you he ran over to you and fell, yeah, his robot legs over heated and he fell. he got up and walked away as he muttered to himself about how dumb that was.
His realization for liking you was literally, and I quote.
“Tavrossssssss!!!!!!!! Get the stup8d look of your face! >:::::::( if yo8 like them soooooo8o much you just get get yo8r stupid flush crush over with!!!!!!!!”
“}:| hOLY SHIT” he got all excited and fell down some stairs. Yeah ya know. Robo legs
When he finally asked to be your matesprite, he fell on top of you. Not in a sexy way. You have a bruise on your leg. it wasnt fun. Vriska thought it was but it wasnt.
Owchie
ALSO FUNNY THING HE ATE A BUTTERFLY ONCE AND YOU HAD TO TAKE HIM TO ARADIA
“i HAVE,,, BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH”
“oh! that’s- that’s really sweet-“
“ nO NO NO,,, i LITERALLY ATE BUTTERFLIES AND MY STOMACH HURTS”
“I- what? why would you do that?”
“cONFIDENCE }:)”
“fUCK-“
Yeah you brought him to aradia.
extra:
“dO YOU KNOW IF THEY WERE POISONOUS”
“im really n0t sure tavr0s”
“FUCK”
Man he always talks about Rufioh to you. So when you finally got to meet Rufioh and tavros didn’t, it broke your heart.
So what you did with your very wrinkly brain was kidnapped Rufioh and took him to see tavros.
Yeah you’re a good matesprite 😎😎😎
His dates are mostly you getting him out of trouble, like get vriska to not kill him }::::)
Fun
He doesn’t know how to kiss. That’s it. He kisses his pillow to practice. He’s slowly getting better. Please he’s trying
OMG THIS IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THIS THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH 😭 THIS IS TALENTED WRITTING KEEP IT UP
Scenario, what could push them to confess?
Characters : Tavros, Gamzee Content warnings : I don't think there's anything notable heavy to mention, Insecurities are a topic of discussion but it all ends well, Gamzee has his own warnings, murder, for one, but it all ends well. Potentially and likely not a perfect capture of character, but hey, it was fun.

Tavros Nitram
Some would say he could be peer pressured and i wouldn't deny it being unshocking to an extent, but not this much.
He's a pushover, but he becomes a brick wall when it comes to accepting good things. Unfortunately, you are the kindest thing- person- in his life.
He could be pressured into making steps into being open about his love for you in a handful of ways, if he believed these were things that'd make you happy, but he couldn't convince himself that a confession might be one of those things easily at all.
He might actually be as stubborn as a bull instead of a pushover in regards to this, which is statistically rare enough for it to be a notable thing.
He would be fully okay with loving you forever, and he would for as long as you had space for him in your life, he doesn't allow for himself to hope that he might be the same for you.
But enough of this frankly heartbreaking build-up, what could push him to confess?
Your feelings, and especially insecurities.
If he saw, for himself, that you loved him this way but didn't allow yourself to hope, he would improvise his confession on spot. it doesn't matter how he could have planned, it just has to be heard by you.
Insecurities are not at the wheel for once in his life, not if it in/directly lead to you doubting whether this type of love was requited or not.
Sure, he's freaking the fuck out, your guy isn't even remotely composed, he's just high off of an emotional adrenaline rush because your emotional turmoil affects him like witnessing a car crash with the best viewing experience.
If he found out you worried over whether you could "lose" everything you've built together because you're you, he might just fall apart and confess in a freight train of emotion so heavy it'd put hydrolic press' to shame.
Or, if the gods of love and matchmaking held hands and channeled their powers into your entire social circle, he could be pushed by an army of wingmen.
It gets easier to believe for Tavros if he witnesses the people who'd rather kill themselves than not be at each other's throat actually agree on something for once, seriously, if Aradia and Vriska can agree on something mundane for the first time since the incident, then maybe it's not the most unbelievable thing that could happen.
Vriska probably helps, if only because she doesn't wish the purgatory of pining upon anyone. If he gets rejected at least it's finally over, as far as she's concerned, and if he doesn't then the only change in results is Tarvos being happier.
Another thing is if you were sick and trusted him to take care of you, I don't imagine trolls let each other know when they're sick.
Regardless of what exactly you are, if you trusted him to do this then the chances are he'll feel more confident in ripping the bandaid of his feelings as well.
He probably blurts it out on accident while saying something like "(…) uh,, i don't think i'd like me,, if i didn't care for my partner,,,-"
Anyhow, if the push is from peerpressure, it'd be in a scenario where someone tries to convince you to confess but it goes terribly wrong so Tavros has to stop you from convincing yourself it's not mutual. He'd be yollo-ing the entire thing because he frankly wouldn't know how to soothe a fear he constantly feels which shape his most painful nightmares. it'd hurt less if he broke his legs again.
Gamzee Makara
So, this fucker. Where to begin.
Sly and smarter than he allows people to believe, yet, he too has a heart somewhere in there, unfortunately for him.
He frankly has put himself in a bit of a corner, because if he hasn't confessed to you before he went on a rampage, then he'll have a lot to answer to at the spot.
Let's begin with what could push him to confess before he got the blood of his friends on his hands.
You getting sick, especially if you allowed him to help you. That much trust and faith would push him to trust you with handling his feelings gently.
People picking on you, he'd pretend to be high as a kite while defending you because it's the only way he can hold himself back from turning the fucker that rained on your parade into paint-paste.
But, because he'd be focusing so much on why he loves you, he might have a slip of the tongue and say something along the lines of 'a motherfucker that can't see the miracle of (your) red blessings has gotta be blind' when the offender is gone and he's reassuring you that he meant every word, you can do what you will with that impromptu confession.
Ideally, you'd accept it, but it's not like I'm your boss. You wouldn't be getting paid for it.
A lot of the things that'd cause him to push would be moments where he would feel a need to defend or take your side of an argument. He always wants to be on the same side as you, damn all else involved, it could all be miracles but he puts yours above all else.
Because you chose him, and he will choose you.
Another thing, he wants to be the one you choose, so he might actually be pushed to confess if/when he feels insecure. He does not want to be replaced, he does not want someone else to matter more to you and get sidelined. He does not want you to get bored of him.
And that'd push him to maybe lie to the person who happens to be the cause of this insecurity and shoo them away for a day or two while he gets his head in the game and tells you everything he has been feeling, and how he has been so fucking scared to lose you.
Because he's terrified of mattering less to you.
Now, before we get to the point in the timeline where he looses it, he'd do his best to not lose it around you. But even if he did, it wouldn't be directed towards you, not that anything could make him feel better, if causes fear in you he will feel that guilt like it'll be permanent. Even if it gets better.
If he causes you to fear it could ever be directed at you, he'll put everything else aside and tell you why he could never, because he loves you too much to forgive himself if he ruined the miracle of you choosing to stick around.
This is similar to what happens if you ever happened to cross paths with him while he was on a rampage, which would be unlikely because he'd do his best to avoid you while hunting down the ones he's after.
He'd still have the mind to tell you he wouldn't hurt you, but he would pray in his mind to something that you won't try to fight him, or try to stop him in general, however that concern is second place. He fights with the intention to kill, and he doesn't wanna kill you.
He might fight and claw until he has ruined this joke everyone else has seen him as, this joke his entire life has been written to be viewed as until now, but he does not want to write a world where he has written you out of his life.
At worst, he'd run and beg you to forgive him later while he explains why he ran, which is because he didn't trust himself to fight you.
At best, he'd compromise and stop for now if you questioned why he has been avoiding you during his rampage, instead of trying to stop him.
Afterwards, when the blood is dry and a smear on the wall? Well, the thing that would push him is his fear of losing you. He's scared to reach, but far more terrified to lose something he could have kept had he just tried.
So, he does.
He'd text you to meet up with him, and ask you to stay. Not as much of a confession if you silently comply, but if you asked why, he'd confess it in a voice so silent it no longer sounds like him.
"BeCaUsE i'M fLuShEd AnD sElFiSh, LiL mAmA, I mOtHeRfUcKiNg KnOw I dOn'T dEsErVe ThIs. A MoThErFuCkEr LiKe Me ShOuLdN't EvEn TrY(..)" ..He can't even bring himself to finish the sentence, but he still has it in him to say one last thing.
"PlEaSe DoN't Go"
