Dive Deep into Creativity: Your Ultimate Tumblr Experience Awaits
Y/n: when I was in 3rd grade, we had google earth on the computers. There was also a flight simulator and I would ask kids for their addresses. I would then show them the flight simulator and proceed to fly the plane into their house telling them I destroyed it remotely
Nat muttering: and I’m the bad guy
hi! i dunno if your requests are still open but if they are i was wondering if you could write headcanons for dr strange and/or tony with a male so whos sorta like a eldritch god/horror? if not i understand but thanks anyways(:
Marvel x eldritch horror male reader
How did you know non-human reader fics were one of my favorites?
I sprinkled in some Steven Grant cuz I am obsessed with him, even though I haven’t watched the show yet, hope that’s okay lmao. I don’t know much about DID so I tried not to mention it much, and used what I know, so hopefully its alright.
I loosely based the readers main appearance of an oc of mine who is something like an eldritch horror themselves ^^
I may have gotten carried away, but enjoy anyways.
Tony Stark
- You meet when Tony is trapped in space with Nebula. You were just floating through space like always, taking in the sights and whatnot when you saw the ship and felt living organisms inside. One of them feels near death though, so you worry.
- You haven’t interacted with many humans in your eternal life, so you panic and slither your everchanging form into the ship towards the dying being. Feeling around you with your smoke like mass, and using your abilities you can tell he is dying from lack of oxygen, so you make some.
- He’s still falling unconscious, but not dying this time. So, you grace his mind just enough to get an impression, and take the form he would find most pleasing to look at. You end up taking him into your now only two arms, and holding him as he rests.
- Things pass like in the movie, except you easily reverse what Thanos did and take the stones away from the ugly grape and fling him into the void.
- Now that the threat is gone you grow close to Tony, and take great interest in human culture. You could learn it all immediately if you pleased, but having Tony show you and explain it made what would be your heart warm up.
- In the beginning Tony, and all his companions, thought you were some type of alien that took human form, like the Skrull. So, it was kinda awkward to explain that you weren’t just that, you were what they called an eldritch horror.
- Tony needed some time to come to terms with it, especially the fact that you were far beyond science. But after a while he seemed to just accept it, giving up that he couldn’t ever figure you out. Though he does try to at times still.
- The two of you start dating, and it takes some time to get used too, mainly for Tony. You grow more comfortable letting your human go and just being more yourself. Though you keep your form mainly human.
- You help out the Avengers at times, but mainly leave it to the heroes to go save the world. Though you will swoop in if they’re in life threatening danger.
- You pick up cooking, though it isn’t very successful in the beginning, but tony seems to be very supportive, though he isn’t that happiest to be the taste tester as some of the dishes he swears are cursed.
- You get better over time though.
- The relationship is announced to the public, and you have to keep your human form when out and about for obvious reasons. The world is led to believe you have shadow based powers and have lived alone for most of your life, which makes up for you not understanding many parts of society just yet.
Stephen Strange
- You meet when Stephen is doing magic work, maybe he has to cross over to the shadow between realities or universes to collect something or fight someone. He catches your attention by entering your domain, which normally no one can enter.
- You keep your attention of the cloaked man, as he moves through your darkness with ease that surprises even you. His cloak flinches back when you reach a shadow up to pull on it, which confirms that it is alive.
- The magic-user walks around your domain for a long time looking for what he’s after, but can’t seem to find head nor tail in the eternal darkness. You feel what’s almost akin to pity, like what you feel when you see a kitten stumble and fall. So, collecting a tiny part of your mass, you take a human-like shape.
- The shape is like if you took shadows and dark mass and shoved it into a human shaped mold. You hadn’t really met humans before and you didn’t want to dig through his mind, so you took the next best option.
- Stephen gets ready to fight when you appear, but when it becomes obvious, you’re friendly he tells you why he’s there and what he’s after. You offer to help him which he hesitates with at first, but ends up accepting. With little work of your powers, you’ve moved the two of you to what he needed
- The two of you fall into talks, you mainly asking questions which he only seems to answer out of politeness as this is your realm, but as time passes, he becomes more friendly. He’s on edge around you in the beginning, but it lessens up.
- When he leaves you vow to visit him regularly, which you then do. You pull apart the curtains of reality and step into whatever room he’s in, and as time passes you start to take a more human form as you learn about them. Though you keep certain features about yourself, like having more than two arms and smoke-like clouds rising from you at times, though Stephen doesn’t seem to mind at all.
- The sorcerer grows to really apricate your company, and he treats you much warmer as time passes.
- You dating is never really said in words, at some point you just start staying with him for longer, you start holding each other and kissing. Its only when Wong tells you to take your sucking faces somewhere else it clicks for the both of you.
- Your relationship continues as normal, doing sorcery things, reading books, traveling places. Though now there’s more physical affection.
- Stephen is very interested in the special brand of magic you use, though you explain it isn’t magic and just more you are bending reality to your will. He’s still very interested though.
- He takes time off from being sorcerer supreme to spend time together, the two of you especially like traveling to other planets or alike to explore or go on holiday.
Steven Grant (Marc and Jake too i guess)
- Unsurprisingly you meet Steven because of moon knight business. You first spotted him when he entered the afterlight as it is partly your domain, but before you could interact with him, he left again. You’re intrigued by the man, so you keep one of your many million eyes on him.
- You let small parts of yourself start to slither into the human realm by poking holes in the fabric that is reality. Normally you would just have shoved a chunk of yourself out there, but the god that follows Steven around would notice immediately. Not that you couldn’t win with ease if the god wanted to fight, but you didn’t feel like it.
- You had planned to grace over his mind for a shape when he slept, but he so rarely did. It made the small part of yourself you had put under his bed jolt as he got right back up, after he had gone to sleep. Flexing your abilities, you figured out there were not one, not two, but three people in the body, one of them being Steven.
- Now you have always been an eternal everchanging being, so it didn’t weird you out or anything, you simply noted down for later to pay attention to who was fronting and that was it.
- Weeks pass like this, and you’re comfortable just watching and observing. That is until Steven apparently gains control of the body in the middle of a battle. He’s lost and doesn’t even realize he’s in a fight until he almost gets punched.
- Steven appears not to be much of a fighter, but you stay still until one of the people he was fighting pulls out a gun, which you now know is a weapon. You collect all the small shadows you’ve had cross over and mash them together to take form. You take a human form, the only thing showing you’re less than human nature are your eyes, which turn pitch black.
- You make quick work of the goons, going as far as to crush the gun in your hand and flinging the people across the street and into a dumpster.
- The god that follows Steven around immediately gets confrontational and curses at you and wants you gone, but you ignore him to crouch down to Steven and ask if he’s alright, lifting a smoke covered hand, where the smoke slithers around and seems to heal whatever bruises and cuts he has.
- It takes some explaining and calming Steven down to explain who and what you are, and why you are there. He blushes when you explain how you found him so interesting and sweet you couldn’t help but want to stick around.
- Khonsu seems to stop his cursing and threats when he figures out you are far beyond even his level of power, though the two of you don’t seem to realize. You don’t even notice when he seems to leave, giving you major side-eye.
- One thing leads to the next and you’re spending a lot of time together, though its just you and Steven since you leave when you notice the other two fronting. You don’t want to make them uncomfortable or anything, and you and Steven thought that since Marc and Jake kept a lot of secrets in the past from him, its okay until you two know each other more.
- When you start officially dating you end up introducing yourself to Marc and Jake, who both seem quite uneasy with you, but when they hear how you and Steven talk about each other they begrudgingly agree.
- They won’t admit it, but they start to like you too, and get red in the face when you compliment them or hug them.
- You and Steven talk about his interests for hours, and you can tell him many things that Khonsu doesn’t know or hasn’t told him, you even go as far as to tell him about how you have your own realm and alike. You visit it at some point, though there isn’t much to see as its just darkness and void.
- Steven helps you learn the ways of the human world, though he struggles with it himself too, so you lean on each other for support. Though most days it can become quite a lot and you’ll just go home and cuddle in bed until Steven falls asleep and either Marc or Jake takes over, the man blushing when they realize they’re in your arms.
Unrelated, but: Do you think Jonathan Crane plays the fiddle? I can see him being able to, though that might just be my music-centric brain talking.
-I headcanon Loki can play the harp and the violin. I didn't really see anyone saying harp that much either so I guess I’m just on my own here, but for some reason the harp just makes sense to me? Of course, he can play a few other instruments, like the guitar, but the harp and violin are his favorites and simultaneously the ones he can play the best. (We already know he can sing, so I don’t need to really mention that.)
-I, personally, can’t imagine Thor playing very many instruments, so I just leave it to: ‘He never learned how to play anything.’ But maybe he could be interested in learning after some time with the Avengers? idk
A headcanon that may surprise a few people: I don’t think Thor can play any instruments, but I do think Thor can sing. Basically what happened goes like this: Thor found out that Loki can sing, he liked the idea of it, so he also learned as well, effectively unintentionally turning that into a competition between them as well.
-Tony? I just imagine him being able to shred a guitar. Electric guitar or otherwise. And though we never see anything that implies this, I just can’t get the image of him having an entire guitar room out of my brain. (On the flip side he’s also pretty talented with the piano.)
As for singing, he can definitely.
-Steve and Bruce are on the same boat with Thor, not being able to play any instruments. However, Bucky and Steve can actually sing! I imagine Bucky can hit notes like the guy in this. The man has range. Steve learned how to sing from a few of those old war videos. Bucky actually learned on his own from sheer wanting to. Bruce meanwhile can’t sing. He sounds like a screeching cat when he tries. Hulk is no better, in fact, he somehow sounds worse.
Steve, I imagine, isn’t really the type to sing very often. Bucky even less so, it would take a lot to convince Bucky to sing at all in front of people. Though if you catch him in a good mood, you might just hear him singing to himself when he thinks he’s alone.
Bucky can also play the piano, but he rarely does so after becoming the winter soldier.
-Pietro? Yes, he can sing. He’s one of those people who has a natural talent for it even. Wanda can also sing. If I can get a bit sad here: I imagine these two used to sing lullabies to each other on rougher nights when the couldn’t sleep. Whether it was the anxiety or PTSD, giving them nightmares of the time they spent with the bomb, or what have you. The specific lullabies being ones their parents used to sing to them before they went to sleep as kids.
As for instruments? Wanda, for some reason, strikes me as the type who can play the flute? Pietro on the other hand can play the drums.
-Sam can sing. He can also play the guitar, he can even do both at the same time. He can also play the drums.
-Peter Parker is learning how to play the guitar. However, he’s also interested in learning the trombone. As for if he can sing or not? ...eh... He’s trying to get better, but, you have to start somewhere, right?
-Vision could sing if he tried, but he’s not the singing type. As for instruments? ...I mean, he’s a living AI with access to the internet, I’m pretty sure he can play just about anything on the first go.
-Natasha can sing. She can sing damn good too. She’s basically what’s called a triple threat. She can act, sing, and dance. As for instruments? She sadly never had the chance to learn any, so she doesn’t know how to play anything.
-Also, for some reason Odin gives me vibes that he knows how to play the lute and I don’t know why?
-Frigga knows how to play the harp and taught Loki how to play it, I take no criticism on this headcanon in particular.
-As much as I wish I could say that ‘Scott can sing with the best of them’, I genuinely don’t think so. He might be one of those people who thinks he can sing really good but sounds like nails on a chalk board. As for instruments? It’s about the same.
-Clint on the other hand??? I swear this man could’ve been a famous singer if he wasn’t a SHIELD agent first. This man could get into a sing-off with Loki and tie with him. Instruments? Piano and guitar, though he’s better with guitar than the piano.
Y/N and Thor are playing video games in the living room, with Loki in the kitchen making some tea. Everything is perfectly peaceful and fine... until Loki is suddenly assaulted with the sound of both men screaming at the top of their lungs. Seriously, it sounds like one of them just got their arm chopped off or something.
Loki immediately runs in, “What’s going on?! Are you alright?!” To find Y/N in Thor’s arms, like a Scooby Doo cartoon, Thor standing on a chair on the opposite side of the room.
“What’s going on?!” Y/N yells in a panic. “We almost got attacked by a beast, that’s what’s going on!”
“Beast?” Loki looks around, nothing seeming out of place. “...Where?”
“Are you blind?!”
“How can you not see it brother, It’s right there!” The two point at the coffee table in the middle of the room. Loki looks over to see... a praying mantis sitting on a magazine.
Loki raises an eyebrow. “What? This little thing?”
“Little?!” Thor and Y/N say in unison.
“That... thing is anything but ‘little’!”
“Thor’s right, that thing is massive!” Loki sighs. He wasn’t expecting Y/N to be this bothered with bugs, but growing up with Thor has made him more or less desensitized to the ‘horror’.
“Alright, just let me-” He picks up another of the magazines and rolls it up.
“Wait, no!” Loki looks up at Y/N and Thor, who give him pleading eyes. “...Please don’t kill it.” Loki groans in annoyance, but complies anyway.
He puts his hand down next to the mantis, which, after noticing his hand, (and with some slight prodding from Loki’s other hand.) crawls onto it. Both Thor and Y/N gasp in horror as Loki effortlessly picks his hand up and walks past them. Loki opens a window, sets the mantis on the leaf of a nearby bush, and closes it.
Thor puts Y/N down as Loki is dusting his hands off. “I’ll never understand how you can bear to touch those things.”
“Yeah Loki, you’re crazy! That thing could’ve bitten you!” Loki rolls his eyes as Y/N’s statement.
“Yes, it could’ve, and I’m sure it would’ve been a devastating injury.”
Loki could barely believe that both men he cared for most in the universe, his brother AND his best friend, were afraid of insects. How they were afraid of such small, harmless creatures when they’ve fought real monsters and legions of alien soldiers was beyond him.
...But Loki couldn’t help himself, as he chuckled under his breath on his walk back to the kitchen.
