hcs under the cut!

william and vincent may not actually be biologically related [EDITOR: insert ‘blood relatives’ joke here], but they look similar enough that people often think they are.

this is not so much a headcanon as just my refusal to accept canon, but gavin coalesced LONG before 1990 - it was actually somewhere around the mid-1700s, although he only chose the name ‘gavin’ for himself in approximately the mid-1900s, not long after the end of WW2.

gavin and vincent are very good friends - they get on extremely well, and the double dates with freelancer and lovely are legendary, for several reasons.

the prime and imperium universe are not entirely separate from each other - sometimes, they bleed into each other without anybody really realising. it’s nothing too serious - a strange feeling of deja vu, or a weird dream, or a turn of phrase that just feels… right.

as beings of emotion, demons don’t naturally express themselves physically, making facial expressions and body language very difficult for them to both interpret and perform accurately without a lot of practice. because they aren’t designed to have physical bodies, they lack an innate sense of outwardly expressing and responding to emotional stimuli.

(well, +1) gavin might never admit it out loud, but he secretly daydreams a lot about being able to transform freelancer into a demon like him. even though he knows it’s never been done before, and may not even be possible, he doesn’t ever want to be apart from them and he wants so much more time with them than their human lifespan could allow.

#redacted asmr #redacted audio #romi beloved <3 #ooh a game! #i did not include chinese vincent or the echo gavin theory here #just bc i have talked about those quite extensively already so in thought i would do smth new #i have a LOT of thoughts about demons and their relationship to physicality #it is so important to me #and its something that i have to imagine shapes almost all interactions demons have on the human plane #being poured into a physical shape when they are not naturally designed to manipulate one #when they have no natural instincts to help them to manoeuvre it or to tell them what feels right or wrong in a social sense #chefs kiss. fascinating to me
