Headcanons for Brat 🌟🍶🥊🌪
Idk I just wanna think about them being unruly and bratty. Could be OOC but yk what these are just stuff that my brainworms bleghed out of their little mouths.
—🌟Luke🌟—
Luke is a type that is so playful all the time that he just won't follow orders. Like an untrained dog or a puppy. He knows how to be good, but he just wants to play a little more. Nipping and biting. He knows how to use his weight to flop around and be lazy when he's in a selfish mood. Expect to suddenly find yourself crushed under his body when he decides to just lie down on top of you and doesn't get up no matter how you ask him.
He's probably the easiest to convince to do something, but the way he submits/agree to do it is also calculated. Luke knows what kind of image he gives off, and he rarely drops the performance. He doesn't do anything he doesn't want to. And I feel like he'd shut the situation down in a really aggressive–but effective–way. If you try to defy him when he's like that and win? That's because he lets you win.
—🍶Jamie🍶—
Jamie is a more classic type of brat that uses insults as a defense. He shoves you away and lashes out, but it's intentionally not hard enough to hurt. He's just testing your patience and see how far he can rile you up before you snap. It's very much cat-like in the way he lets you approach then rejects you when a stray word upsets him. He'll always be gauging your reactions too.
He wants to be the one controlling the flow of events, and if there's not enough drive from the other person, he doesn't want to waste his time. It's go big or go home. He won't be completely 'tamed', but a strong impression is very important with him. Of course, this also means that if he wants something, he's going to be gunning for it at a 110%. You either learn to handle him or you leave. There is no in-between.
—🥊Ed🥊—
Ed is a risky type. One wrong word or move and he'll buck you off. He knows he can handle himself, but being intentionally vulnerable still puts him on high alert. He hits back and he hits hard, but if you're careful enough, he's easier to handle than Luke, Jamie, or Rashid. I enjoyed the animal image of him being a mouse/rat before, but after M. Bison released in SF6, I felt like the image of a horse suits Ed much more. He's fast and flighty, and hits like a damn truck. If you don't want to get trampled, you need to know how to rein him in.
Don't treat him too harshly because he'll fight you off. Don't treat him too gently because he'll get insulted. Have a firm hand and lead him with confidence. Praise is effective, but too much and he'll catch on that they might be empty words. It's like dealing with a big animal. You cannot back down and but you also can't just use overwhelming force to suppress him.
—🌪Rashid🌪—
Rashid is actually feels like an aloof type to me. He's not dangerous at all and is a bit similar to Luke. However, if it's too boring, he won't try to make his own fun. He'll just stop and leave. Trying to hold him down will result in him flitting away even faster. He really suits the image of a bird. Always flying high and flying free. You can get close to him, but it's not a guarantee that he'll stay with you.
Pampering him doesn't work either because he's already used to it (Azam really raised him too well). So you have to use new and 'fresh' experiences to draw his interest, then he'll be an active participant. He's either into it, or not at all. And if you messed up, he's gone like the wind. Once he's interested though, then you'll get the full brunt of his power. The similarity to Luke appears here again, but unlike Luke who does anything but what you want and doesn't care if you do what he wants or not, Rashid will bug the hell out of you in order to get what he wants. Birds are loud, dude.
