Obi-Wan didn’t let Vader kill him on the Death Star to stall for time or anything, he just glanced over and saw Luke and Leia standing next to each other, thought about the pure unbridled chaos of having to deal with two (2) Skywalkers simultaneously, and said nah i’m too old for this shit let me be one with the Force now.
So i saw this headcanon post floating around about how Cicero would handle the Listener being sick, and today I figured “okay, buuut… what if Cicero was sick instead?” :0
Since he was likely horrendously malnourished during and after his time in Cheydinhal, and because he’s moving to a new province full of different strains of illness, Cicero gets sick. A lot.
He hides it as best he can as he continues to do the Keeper boogaloo unbeknownst to his family, often to the point where he overworks himself and everyone is freaking out because he’s passed out on the floor again
Tries really hard to make it seem like he’s fine, especially when the Listener isn’t around at the time, because he doesn’t want to feel like a burden to anyone
meanwhile he’s somehow paler than he already is and his skin is literally on fire
Sore throats are almost a guarantee because of how much he talks, and he hates whenever he gets them
There have definitely been times where he’s worked his voice so raw to the point where he just physically can’t speak, and it’s torturous for him. How can he jest in a timely manner if he has to write down his jokes?!
Him being cared for is absolutely torturous for him, too
He’s used to being the one doing all the caring, and having it the other way around really throws him for a loop
Lowkey feels like he doesn’t deserve the care, honestly
He gets oddly shy asking for stuff, even if the person he asked was the one who offered in the first place, especially if it’s someone other than his Listener
He just feels like he’s on thin ice with most, if not all of the family for how he’s acted in the past, and being in such a vulnerable state where he kinda HAS to ask makes him really uncomfortable
He swears, though, if he has to drink another one of Babette’s disgusting potions that’ll supposedly make him feel better, he will scream
Just tiny ol Cicero all bundled up in a cocoon of blankets, holdin a bowl of soup
He tends to eat very little when he’s sick
He’s very antsy about getting back to work and usually insists he’s fine and can get back to what he’s doing, but if he’s severely ill and he knows? He generally won’t push it. But he has to be like… actually bedridden for him to get to that point.
If you thought he was cold before… buddy, buddy ol pal,,, this bitch freezin
it is the one thing he will complain about consistently when he’s sick
you could probably throw him in the fire place and he would still be cold
Both loves and hates taking baths when he’s sick - loves it because guaranteed quality warm and temporarily unstuffed nose. Hates it because he knows he’s eventually going to have to get out at some point, and it’s gonna be Cold. Very Fucking Cold.
Definitely doesn’t sleep well at all when he’s sick
Like even shittier than he already does, unless he gets something from Babette to put him to sleep
just a very restless boi
Jack: Cas I need you to come pick me up right now
Cas: Why
Jack: Dean is passive aggressively doing the dishes he asked me to do 8 hours ago
Jack: This house isn’t safe for me anymore
Wilbur didn't have abusive as much as he did neglectful parents, so when Tommy (5) and Technoblade (10) paid his house a visit, they took one look around and decided "yup he's ours now".
Tommy cried a lot as a kid. Not necessarily out of sadness, that was just how he reacted to very emotional situations. When he was older, it turned to yelling because he didn't like the pity he got before.
Tommy didn't bother to make his own views on government, but looked at Wilbur getting into it and went "no king <3".
He went with Techno's ideology, "I seriously couldn't give a fuck as long as it isn't bothering me".
Niki was found as a 12 year old in the lake, and was the only kid Phil needed no persuading to keep. She was a sweetheart.
Ranboo is a jerk but. Different, depending on who he's with. He's a lovable asshole with Bench Trio, but just an actual jerk with everyone else. He has favorites.
Tubbo and Ranboo act like they hate each other, so it was a surprise to everyone when they announced they were (platonically) married.
Scott crash-landed from the stars onto the SMP when he was younger, and claimed homophobia whenever Phil tried to get him to leave. So he stayed.
Phil's the resident father figure and canon 911 so he gets no sleep and needs to be paid more. He loves them though.
Fundy’s just a random kid Wilbur picked off the streets, he's barely younger than him. Wilbur refused to let him go.
Technoblade spent a lot of his childhood looking after Tommy, so once Tommy had friends and family that could take care of him, and he was old enough, Techno left to wander the world.
Wilbur flickers from invisible to solid when he's agitated/sad, so people take objects from him when he's feeling intense emotion.
Niki's like Ranboo's big sister, and tends to mediate all the fights he gets himself into. (A lot of them). She's the only reason he's on speaking terms with like half the server.
Ranboo and Tommy met before they met Tubbo, on one of Ranboo's few trips to the Overworld he was allowed when he was younger. They kept in touch through letters and sneaking out.
Ranboo's a prince, but ran away to live his own life. He didn't know many survival skills, and refuses to accept help.
Technoblade and Tommy were attached at the hip when they were younger, and Wilbur got jealous sometimes.
Techno insisted on Tommy being named Theseus, just because he loved the name. He calls Wil Icarus. He refuses to tell him why.
Tommy introduced Tubbo and Ranboo, it was hatred at first sight <3 (then they got married).
Ranboo's of the firm belief that money can buy happiness, actually. He throws expensive shit at his friends to cheer them up.
Charlie is God. That's it. That's the headcanon.
Ranboo looks up to Phil a lot, despite how he acts. He desperately wants to make the best father figure he's had proud.
