four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship
Gamzee has no idea what to think of Dave, like at all. Like really at all, at all. Sometimes he’s just ‘????? I think I’m motherfuckin irritated in your general direction right the motherfuck now’ and others he’s just ‘this dude’s alright, ain’t no need to break his bones none :o)’
I tend to think that they don’t spend a lot of one-on-one time together, not yet at least, Gamz is a bit too iffy around those that haven’t proved themselves trusted yet which Dave hasn’t really yet in his head, weird clown shit I’m sorry Dave he very rarely makes sense even to himself he just knows he doesn’t quite trust you to be showing him a true face ever and that rankles him and makes him feel like you’re a danger sometimes, it’s weird. BACK ONTO THE POINT THOUGH, any one-on-one time they do spend together probably involves a lot of Gamzee just quietly considering the Dave human, very similar to how a predator that knows it can destroy you looks at something so much smaller and more fragile than it,
There’s no touching between them, touching is a threat, if Gamzee touches the Dave it’s either because it is a veiled threat or because he’s bored and wants to stir things/see how Dave reacts. Like gay chicken expect with sharper teeth and claws.
After Dave gave him that coat though, he got a lot of good point with the clowns. Many many, hey yo that dude? Knows how to be getting on a motherfucker’s good side ta be avoiding spine-snapping and getting himself allies for his battles ahead, smart motherfucker, pleased honks at him. LIKE HE STILL DOES THAT STUFF BECAUSE IT AMUSES HIM AND HE’S STILL KINDA TESTING DAVE’S METTLE LITERALLY ALL THE TIME, also because clowns actually pretty big on casual touching on things that are theirs, congrats Dave you belong to the clowns now expect your ceremonial skull/bone pendant painted with gamzee’s clan sign in his blood anywhere between 4-10 business days. :oD
