brad dourif characters x reader headcanons: marriage

marriage isn’t for everyone but if you did tie the knot, there is no way it wouldn’t be a wild ride with all of them, one way or another. warning for smut (mild).

charles lee ray

no one could ever accuse this man of being a romantic
(except he really, really is)
legally he doesn’t care if you get married or not
but you suggest it first (not a proposal) and you both mutually agree to it
then he sort of proposes (with a ring and flowers) after you’ve already agreed
if you want a legal marriage it would have to be before any of his murders are he is known to the police
(he’s already known for petty crime but getting married would really blow his cover if he’s already a wanted murderer)
you go to the nearest courthouse and have a bare minimum ceremony
he wears the nicest suit he already owns
and you go out and get a white dress that you could wear again to a bar
you sign the papers
then you consummate your love in the ladies toilets
whether you go on honeymoon depends on how much money you have at the time
either you go to a tacky wedding motel or you stay in and don’t leave the apartment for a week
either way you’re having a lot of sex
like seriously

jack dante

it’s hard work to get him to actually go through with the wedding
he is actually the one to propose to you
after sex of course
“babe, we should like, get hitched”
he means it, he does, but maybe in a more metaphorical way??
it takes some nagging but you finally get him to go down to the courthouse with you
there is definitely a legal/financial aspect of your marriage
like he may be the wild card employee but he gets paid ludicrously well for everything he contributes to the company (and to try and keep a little bit under control)
if something happened to him (and he has no doubt one day bob might just have him bumped off) he may as well give everything to you, there’s no one else for it to go to
neither of you dress up for the ceremony
but you do buy some tacky bridal lingerie to wear underneath
another bare minimum ceremony
it’s not your first rodeo doing it in a public restroom
it’s almost romantic, a repeat of your first time
the white lacy panties are surprisingly very appreciated
you have to convince him to move back to his old apartment together now that you’re married instead of hiding away at CHAANK
he honestly probably forgets you’re even married until you bring it up

billy bibbit

he proposes to you
one day while you’re at home on a sunday afternoon
lay together on the couch while you read
“h-hey, i h-h-have sssomething to a-ask you”
his stutters gets a tiny bit worse and you worry something is up
“l-l-listen, I-I rrreally love y-you a-a-a-and I-” he has to pause and collect himself
but you already know what he’s going to ask and you can’t keep from smiling
“w-will you m-m-mmmarry me?”
you throw your book aside and throw your arms around him
“yes! yes, of course I will billy!”
billy is a good christian boy so you have a good christian church wedding (unless you have other religious/secular preferences)
it’s a very small wedding
only your favourite family members and closest friends come
same with billy
he feels incredibly guilty for not inviting his mother, but he hasn’t seen her since he finally discharged himself from the hospital
you reassured him and remind him that this is the start of your lives together
he looks so dapper in his suit
you help him pick it out
he insists he doesn’t want to see your dress until the big day
he cries when he sees you walk up the aisle
loves calling you his wife, and you calling him husband makes him feel wanted
puts your wedding photo in every room and carries it around in his wallet

sheriff brackett

he didn’t expect he’d ever find someone he’d want to marry
(what with his last marriage ending the way it did)
when he realises he’s truly in love with you, and you with him, he plans his proposal
it’s nothing extravagant but it’s absolutely perfect
you have a romantic dinner together and he does a whole speech about how much he loves you
and you see where it’s going but you let him go on for a minute until you’re like “do you want to ask me something?”
he flusters about it but is very cute and finally pops the question
“i - sweetie, i’d be honoured to make you my wife, will you marry me?”
you have a church wedding (unless you have other religious/secular preferences)
close family and friends only
cries when you walk down the aisle
annie gets very invested in helping with the planning and is probably more bothered about it than either of you are
you have a (very) classy dress
loves that he can call you his wife now !! the sheriff’s wife !!
reception at your house, classic buffet
lowkey you both cannot wait untl everyone just leaves
*wink wink*
you do have a first dance in private though after everyone leaves
you’re both soft and giggling and the song is a cheesy love song but it’s perfect
your wedding night is the height of romance
your bridal lingerie really does it for him
what better start for your marriage than him making you cum so many times that you lose count?

doc cochran

you and doc didn’t think you’d get married at all
neither of you felt the need to make anything official
you both consider yourself as his common law wife anyway
but something happens (either you get pregnant or some unrest with the camp politics makes the future seem uncertain) you decide you may as well tie the knot officially
there’s no real proposal, he just sort of asks
you go to the Grand where E.B (being mayor) unfortunately has to officiate
you don’t intend to invite anyone, saying it is no one elses business
but people catch wind (i.e. al, trixie and jane, merrick, maybe sol and seth) and basically invite themselves
you wear your best dress
and doc doesn’t half scrub up well
Al invites you both back for a drink at the gem which you accept
(“only one though, al” “sure, sure, you gotta get back home - the marriage bed is waiting - I understand”)
the marriage bed is waiting though and you get kind of emotional when you go home together for the first time as husband and wife
funnily enough no one shows up at doc’s that night for treatment and you have the whole night to yourselves

grima wormtongue

it takes you both a long time before you admit your feelings for each other and commit to having a relationship rather than a friends with benefits situation
marriages move fairly quickly in middle earth
no sooner are you engaged are you at the alter
wedding is moderately fancy because grima is doing pretty well being the king’s adviser
few people actually show up who don’t have to be there though because neither of you exactly have a lot of friends
grima almost clams up when it comes the ceremony because he doesnt want to say all this personal stuff about how much he loves you in front of other people
but you both get through it and finally, finally you are properly married
he’s very emotional when you consummate your marriage but he tries to hide it
(but you know him too well)

tommy ludlow

he proposes one morning after sex
it’s only just getting light and you both have to get up for work soon
you’re still sweaty and his face is pressed into your neck
and in hushed tones you whisper back and forth
“will you marry me?”
it takes you a second to process what he said, “you wanna get married?”
“if you’ll have me”
you kiss him and whisper “yes”
it’s a church wedding for you and tommy (unless you have other religious/secular preferences)
he has a pretty big extended family and he has to invite them all
your dress and his suit are second hand
(because you’re saving for better things)
laura takes a lot of photos for you
including the classic confetti toss one as you leave the church
takes you ages to comb all the confetti out of tommy’s hair afterwards
cheesy first dance at the wedding reception
you can tell tommy is nervous so you joke around and make sure he doesn’t take it too seriously
when you get home? goddamn you ride him like there’s no tomorrow
(still in your wedding dress)

leo nova

it’s go big or go home with him
80s fashion at its best
your dress is worth more than the rent on your old apartment
he doesn’t see it before the wedding
you’re surprised at how many traditions he sticks too despite him having the emotional range of a teaspoon
not many people get an invite to the ceremony but it’s a wild after party
like a bunch of coked out 80s gangsters ?? amazing
the honeymoon is next level
you go to some tropical holiday resort (caribbean, thailand or spain) and it is all sun, sex and sangria for two whole weeks

tucker cleveland

didn’t think he’d want to get married again
but in reality he just didn’t like his first wife all that much
takes you out to dinner and proposes
when you say yes he is honestly relieved
but because he doesn’t want to get emotional he calls over the waiter to get your free dessert
courthouse wedding
you do insist he wears a suit though and you buy a white dress
does the whole “just married” thing on the back of his truck
actually takes you on a honeymoon (sort of)
you go out of state and stay in a motel for a week
(vigorous sex ensues)
now you’re married good and proper you can be his good little wifey

CHUCKY AND CAZ VS. THE WORLD

(mobile, incomplete master list)

Charles Lee Ray and Carrie White were high school best friends in the tiny Maine town of Chamberlain. Partly because no one else would hang out with them, partly because they might actually like each other and partly because they’re the only two kids in town who understand.

General Headcanons:

PART 1 – friendship

PART 2 – arguments

PART 3 – telekinesis

PART 4 – into the woods

PART 5 - the prom

charles lee ray and carrie white friendship headcanons: into the woods

with credit to @adordedmarigold for this idea, chucky and carrie need weird kid bonding time. some suspension of disbelief is needed because there’s no way carrie’s mom is letting her run free with the baddest and saddest kid in town.

on the occasions when chucky can convince carrie to cut class with him, they go to the woods on the edge of town
carrie is a little (a lot) freaked out at first
she doesnt want them to get lost
or murdered
but chucky coaxes her in and promises he knows his way around
because he’s an asshole, he will tease her about being so creeped out
*cue rodrick heffley’s devil worshipper woods story*
will pray on her fears
“did you hear that?”
“hear what?”
then he fucking screams in her ear or something
and does his stupid cackle when she jumps out her skin
until she uses her powers to fucking whoop his ass with a tree branch
watch him find a cool stick to carry around with him
can and will find some poor animal carcass to prod at
he is very, very interested in it
whilst carrie turns her back and tries not to throw up
he actually knows a lot about the decomposition of animals and can tell how long its been there
and can point out all the different parts and the signs of decay
“hey look at this, caz, there are already maggots in the abdominal cavity”
“chucky, if i look i’m going to be sick”
carrie better be ready because chucky can and will tell her about every single piece of flora they encounter
he knows so much about flowers and plants in general
all their properties and characteristics
(and flower symbolism !!)
carrie actually really enjoys listening to him talk about it
she remembers her (and his) favourites for future reference
chucky is in his element
(and he tries not to show it but he’s v happy that carrie is willing to listen to him go on and on)
carrie picks the most common flowers to make flower crowns and daisy chains with
she makes a crown for herself first and then starts on a second one
chucky catches on “im not wearing that”
“oh don’t be like that, it’s fun!”
he (un)reluctantly let’s her balance it on his head
just imagine these two losers walking around in the woods with matching flower crowns and chucky with his cool stick and carrie making sure her skirt doesn’t catch on any of the brambles
when they decide to head home chucky either hangs his flower crown on a tree branch or (more morbidly) puts it on an animal carcass, if they have found one that day
they climb trees !!
chucky goes into Big Brother mode to teach carrie
but she actually ends up being better than him
(which he is eternally mad about because no way could a girl be better than him at something)
they sit up in the high branches and talk about all this personal shit that they can’t talk about at school
(like how sometimes he gets along with his dad but other times he gets hit so hard his vision blurs)
(and how she hates it in the cupboard and the first few times she cried so much she lost her voice)
then afterwards they pretend like they didn’t just bare their souls to one another
one day he gets too cocky with his climbing skills and falls
but then he doesn’t hit the ground
carrie catches him with her powers
and he’s dangling there like a fish on a hook
the shock of catching him almost makes her drop him again
when he is safely back in solid ground they are both just like wtf ??
lowkey makes then realise that carries powers go beyond just tripping bullies in the lunch room
they’ve both treated her abilities as pretty destructive but actually ?? they just saved chucky’s ass
chucky is a fucking liability
“hey carrie look at the wasp nest, dare me to throw a rock at it?”
“please do not do that”
“i cant believe you’re making me do this lol”
cut to them both running away as fast as possible from a swarm of angry wasps
chucky is a good Brother and takes carrie to get ice cream sometimes
she has never even had ice cream before so the whole thing is an experience
“i can pick any flavor?”
“sure, any flavor you want”
then he watches in something close to horror as she gets cookie dough ice cream (sensible) with every single topping possible (insane)
chucky is boring and gets plain vanilla becuase it is reliable
they sit together and eat and chucky had a crisis
because goddamn, does he actually like Being Nice to carrie ??

brad dourif characters x reader headcanons: the rocky horrorshow

man this really is some self indulgent bullshit that I have for you this week,, i saw rocky horror show live for the first time the other night and it was An Experience,, so here we are what is their opinions (only including charles, tommy and billy). warning for smut (mild tbh).

charles lee ray

has seen the movie with you multiple times
secretly thinks it’s a huge vibe but will never, ever admit it out loud
all the lingerie and sexy times puts him in the mood
so you’ve missed the ending a few times because he won’t wait till the movie is over
(sex whilst hot patootie is playing in the background)
your love for rocky horror means you’re in with the edgy theatre crowds who put on regular live performances of it
you and your friends go to as many live shows as possible
you always get dressed up
corset, fishnets, classic red lipstick, the whole shebang
chucky never goes with you
(as much as he secretly loves the movie he would be way too embarrassed to actually go to a live show)
you tease him so bad before you leave
he is ready to rip your (already limited) clothes off before you can leave
he might go out “working” the same night
but if he stays in you tell him not to wait up, you’ll be home late
“It doesn’t start till midnight, Chucky so I won’t be home till morning”
“you’re coming straight home after, right?”
“why? scared I’m gonna leave you for a dude in heels?”
he scowls at you but you’re right lmao
you have a raving time, as always
you stumble in at like 4 a.m.
and fall asleep on the couch
(still in your fishnets and sparkly corset)
the next morning (afternoon) you wake up to coffee and chucky laughing quietly
you sit up and look at the state you’re in
“good night?”
“evidently, my morning could be better though”
which is both a dig at him laughing and a backhanded invitation
making out on the couch leads to fucking on the couch
and chucky makes it his business to ruin your outfit even more
then he brings you a coffee and tells you to have a shower because “you look like a whore after a long night on the job”
(in the unlikely event you ever do convince him to go he is mortified when you tell everyone it’s his first time and make him go up for the virgin initiation games)

tommy ludlow

has also seen the movie with you and it is not his thing
he’s a simple guy and there is way too much glam/camp for him
but he’s glad that you enjoy it
(and you suffer through watching the basketball with him, so even stevens)
it’s 1978 in NYC so there is a rocky horror show every weekend if you are so inclined
you go pretty frequently with your friends
heels and fishnets and lipstick !!
(tommy thinks you look absolutely drop dead gorgeous, it almost makes him want to come with you)
he worries about you being out late at night like that but you could beat anyone’s ass if necessary
he waves you off and you promise not to be home toolate
you have a great time, of course
but the most fun is had when you get home
you come home giggling and lowkey tripping through the door
he’s stayed up to wait for you
(because he couldn’t sleep without knowing you got in okay)
“have a nice time?” he grins
you throw yourself over him on the couch, still giggling
“it was great!”
your lipstick is smudged and you’ve got like a million rips in your fishnets
a show full of sex and glam has put you in the mood
you do not make it off the couch
did somebody say blow jobs whilst wearing red lipstick?
he almost loses it
and then you just tell him to just rip a hole in your fishnets
and he absolutely loses it

billy bibbit

when you get him to watch the movie with you it is an Experience alright
he’s lowkey entranced
amazed
it’s an eye opener for sure
but he kind of enjoys it
likes how no one takes themselves seriously and is just straight up vibing
dudes in fishnets and heels and lipstick?
he is having a crisis (positive)
you find out that an am-dram group is doing regular shows so you and your friends go along to test the waters
it’s a blast
the next time you plan on going you ask billy if he wants to come
“it’s a lot of fun, bill, and even better than the movie!”
“i d-d-don’t kn-now if it’s r-rrreally for me”
you don’t pressures him because you get that it can all seem pretty intense
but you keep the option open for him
you go a few times with friends before billy even considers coming with you
rather than your usual rocky horror attire which is, lets be honest, slutty (positive)
you go together as brad and janet to ease billy into the whole thing
(you both get a lot of compliments because I mean, come on you’re both perfect)
you sit towards the back of the show and keep it on the down low that it is his first time (to avoid the virgin initiation games)
you tell him a few of the call and response lines but it takes him a while to get warmed up to it
by the end he thinks its great
don’t expect him to go all out but he does come with you every so often
honestly its kind of a confidence booster for him
after a while he can relax and knows that no one is judging him
(knows all the words to all the songs)

#charles lee ray x reader #tommy ludlow x reader #billy bibbit x reader #the rocky horror show #the rocky horror picture show #damn this is self indulgent af #and incorporate them into my daily life #i was like damn what would they think #chucky loves the vibe but he is too manly to admit #brad dourif #brad dourif x reader #charles lee ray #billy bibbit #slasher x reader

the realisation that even though i think we all just agree that charles is a chain-smoker, i dont think we ever see him smoke on screen ? (except for the joints in bride and cult)

unlike billy who, in fact, smokes like a chimney throughout cuckoo’s nest

brad dourif characters x reader headcanons: birthdays (fluff and smut)

requested by anon !! what do our beloveds do for your birthday (spoiler, they (pretty much) all spoil you) warning for smut. more notes in tags

charles lee ray

avoids his own birthday but goes all out for yours
buys (or steals, don’t ask) you a lot of presents
i mean a lot!!
new tv (stolen)
a lot of lingerie (classy)
you have a very late night the night before (takes you to a very rough bar)
lazy morning
expect a very happy birthday fuck to start the day
doesn’t make you breakfast because he hates cooking
but does go out for coffee and your takeout breakfast of choice to bring home for you
has a cake professionally made/decorated
(because you made one for his birthday)
the message on top is something v horny like “your pussy tastier than this”
or it’s like one word like “whore <3”
either way it is both hilarious and embarrassing that some poor bakery worker had to frost those words
takes you out for dinner (very fancy restaurant)
or to the movies
another happy birthday fuck when you get home
(“how old are you again? guess that’s how many rounds we’ve gotta get through tonight”)

billy bibbit

billy doesn’t much like his own birthday (his mom was too overbearing for him to ever properly enjoy himself)
but he is great at organising yours
lazy morning
as many kisses as years you are old
makes you breakfast in bed because he is a sweetheart
he makes you a present !!
he’s actually really good at drawing and he fills a notebook with little drawings and pictures
(drawings of you and of things you love and one at the end of himself that he’s embarrassed about but you love it)
then immediately thinks it isn’t good enough and that he should of just bought you something
but you kiss him and reassure him that it’s beautiful
the best present you’ve ever been given
you stay in that night to cook dinner together
he’s definitely made you a cake !!
is it very aesthetic and the frosting is your favourite colour/flavour
sitting outside to watch the sunset !!

sheriff brackett

does everything in his power to make the day extra special for you
(has told his deputy not to bother him unless something really important happens)
buys you a sentimental/thoughtful gift
like some fancy thing related to your favourite hobby (e.g. expensive art supplies if you’re an artist, etc.)
breakfast in bed !!
in your underwear, sun coming in through the windows
definitely the kind of guy to get ballons and banners to decorate the house with
(which is embarrassing but also wholesome)
takes you out to dinner at a very tasteful restaurant
you are birthday girl and he won’t let you forget it
he’s set the bar pretty high sex wise so has to pull out all the stops to make it extra special
clear your diary for the next 3 to 5 hours
(“daddy’s allowed to treat the birthday girl”)

jack dante

forgets your birthday every time
its not that he doesnt care
but he has a lot going on
and keeping track of time whilst he’s down in that basement is easier said than done
when you remind him that it is your birthday he gets more excited than you
sends you out to get cake and jelly and ice cream
which you begrudgingly go and get because you really think he might cry if you dont
sex is abundant but when is it not with jack
as it is your birthday he might be kind enough to give you a reach around whilst he rails you
when he actually gets you a present
(usually like a week late)
its either something actually brilliant (like the latest futurist technology (idk what they had in fake-future-2003))
or its something real fucking sleazy like a weirdo dildo (“so you don’t get lonely when i’m not around”)

doc cochran

would rather die than celebrate his own birthday
but he wants you to be happy on yours
(and every day)
gets you the best present
(where from? he has his ways)
definitely like some first edition copy of a niche book you like (poe, shakespeare, homer, that kind of thing)
makes sure he has no scheduled visits that day and wants to spend as much time with you as possible
(will personally beat Al’s ass if he sends for him for no reason)
you spend the day talking about this and that
and he reads to you from the books he got you because goddamn does he have a beautiful voice
gets jewel to bake you a cake !!
gives you some special loving on your special day
this man knows how to take his time
usually he is busy and feels like he doesn’t pay enough attention to you
so he makes up for it ten fold on your birthday

grima wormtongue

for a long while your relationship is pretty casual so he doesnt even know when your birthday is
once he actually figures out when your birthday is he wants to do something special
even if he isn’t the most… emotionally open person
grima has sticky fingers so he tends to be able to get a hold of things that others cant
gets you something exotic, something you might not of ever even seen before
(think, pineapples or some other middle earth equivalent delicacy)
you appreciate him going out of his way for you
makes an excuse for you to leave meduseld with him
you go up to the fields and look out at the horizon

tommy ludlow

you both bunk off work to spend the day together
he is excellent at buying present(s)
knows exactly what to get you because he’s a good listener
definitely gets you a record or new clothes
neither of you have much money so all your plans are always simple
but tommy is the perfect person to just hang out with, he’s so mellow when he’s with you
has no plans for the day except letting you do whatever you want
you drive around the city
end up going by the natural history museum
(because both of you are actually secretly soft and love holding hands and wandering around the exhibits)
or the met (because you both know your fair share about art, working around fashion shoots all day)
that night you go to some shady dive bar
(and drink too much, if that is your thing)
tumbling in through your front door, you two were never going to make it to the bedroom
“happy birthday” he smirks against you as you both lay, tired, on the living room floor

leo nova

spendsso much money on you
mostly because he likes to show off his money
(“when can i treat my girl to all that she deserves if not on her birthday?”)
but partly because gift giving is his love language, or at least the only way he feels comfortable showing that he cares
a new dress that costs more than the rent on your old apartment, shoes that cost twice as much
takes you to the fanciest restaurant possible
and then fucks you in the dirtiest way possible when you get home
and he can go all night long
*wink wink*

tucker cleveland

hasnt celebrated his own birthday in years so has kind of forgot that birthdays are a thing
remembers yours like 3 days before and kicks himself for leaving it so late to get you a present
(you help him out by giving hint to what you want in the run up to your birthday)
keeps the whole thing very lowkey
which you don’t mind, you’re not into big celebrations anyway
he does get you a gift in time, thanks to your hints
he’s probably at work during the day
but after he gets home and you have dinner together, he hands over his present
although you sort of already knew what it’d be, its definitely the thought that counts with tucker
“and the best is yet to come, don’t you worry” he says smiling
of course, the real present is him pounding you over the table
(because who has the time to go up to bed)
