Welcome Home love language head canons :)
surprise!
Wally
Giving: words of affirmation
Wally is good with his words when he is sure about something. This comes into effect when it comes to talking about his feelings for you! He is quite poetic when he wants to be. Words flow off his tongue as smoothly as butter, singing sweet songs of praise and lines of love to you. He could woo you with ease. He likes it when you get a little shy, looking to the side. He likes it even more when he gets to see the flustered look on your face when he directs your attention back to him.Â
âMy, donât you look stunning tonight,â Wally studied your appearance with nothing less than a look of pure awe. You smiled, cheeks turning pink at the attention.
âI could say the same to you, Mr. Darling,â you joked lightly, looking to the side to hide your embarrassment. Only moments later, his forefinger was under your chin, gently tilting your head to make your gaze meet with his once more.
âHmm⌠that colour really brings out your eyes,â he murmured sweetly, his face mere inches from your own. Your cheeks burned as you gaped slightly at the close proximity, frozen in surprise before you ducked your head down to hide in the crook of his neck.
âYouâre such a tease and you know it,â you grumbled, well aware he was embarrassing you on purpose.
âHa ha ha, I canât resist. You know I mean every word I say to you, my love.â
Receiving: quality time, physical affection
Wally loves spending time with you, no matter what it may be that you are doing. If the two of you are having a picnic, if you keep him company while he is painting, if you go for a walk with him, he loves it. Especially if you talk! He loves to listen, and to make conversation in return, too. Overall, anything and everything. Even though he doesnât sleep himself, he quite enjoys sleep overs! It brings him comfort and content to know that youâre simply there, spending time with him. He just really finds peace in having your presence around. Something heâs a bit more shy about is physical touch. Although he isnât super used to it, he loves to be held. He likes your hugs (despite usually having a hard time returning it), your arms around his waist, your head against his chest or stomach, your lips pecking his cheek, your hands gently cradled in his, your thumbs brushing against his faceâŚÂ he simply loves to feel your touch.
Howdy
Giving: physical affection
Howdy has four arms. You already know that he is the best hugger in the town! He loves to wrap you up in his embrace. An absolute cuddle bug, no doubt about it! No matter what, if you two are near each other, at least one of his hands are probably on you. Resting on your hip, holding your hand, pressing against the small of your back, sat on top of your head⌠always! He is certainly partial to having you in his arms, though. Youâre bound to feel safe and secure within them.
Receiving: physical affection/acts of service
As said before, physical affection! He just loves it! Anything! Hugs! Hand holding! Kisses! CUDDLES! He loves it all, as long as he gets to feel your touch! Along with this, Howdy loves it when you do things for him, completely unprompted. Helping out with stock, sweeping up a mess on the floor, letting someone know where the item theyâre looking for is when heâs busy with something else? Even though he feels bad about it when you do (he makes sure to reward you!), it means so much to him that you're so willing to do him a favour. How thoughtful of you!
âOh, shucks. You didnât have to do that for me, bug!â Howdy said. His arm hooked around your waist, carefully bringing you closer. âYou treat me so well, donât you?â he hummed with a smile.
âYou know that itâs nothing, no big deal at all,â you chuckled, leaning into his chest.
âNo matter how big or small the favour, it doesn't mean any less to me. Thank you, bug,â
âYouâre very welcome, big guy,â you giggled.
âNow,â one of Howdyâs sets of arms wrapped fully around your waist, his lower hands finding the bends of your knees. He picked you up, holding you against him as he grinned down at you.
âI could go for some cuddle time, snuggle bug! How about that?â
Barnaby
Giving: physical affection
Another snuggler! Barnaby is #2 when it comes to the best hugs in the neighbourhood. His big, fluffy, warm arms are around you every chance he gets! Sometimes, he likes to be a bit of a tease and use your head as an armrest. The moment youâd like him to stop, donât worry! You donât need to tell him twice. Barnaby loves scooping you right up into his warm embrace! You are 100% his teddy bear when itâs time for an afternoon nap. Good luck getting out after he falls asleep!
âAh, wouldâja look what weâve got here?â Barnabyâs voice came from behind you. Big blue arms snaked around your waist, lifting you right off of the ground.
âB!â you tried to push his arms away, to no avail. âI was talking to Sal and Jules,â you whined, said neighbours of yours laughing as you squirmed in the inescapable embrace. Barnaby yawned dramatically, one arm leaving your body to cover his mouth. You were basically being held like a football, now!
âThanks for findinâ my teddy, you two! Means the world. Iâm sure weâll see ya around, yeah?â he waved at Sally and Julie, who giggled as you accepted your fate. Barnaby chuckled a little as you went limp, headed to his house. âI could use a nice nap out on the hammock, yâknow? Howâs that sound, bear?â
âYouâre a pain in my rear, B.â
âAwe. I love ya too, toots!â
Receiving: words of affirmation
Barnaby is a funny guy who is always trying to make those around him feel happy, but sometimes, he can get pretty self conscious. Was he being too loud? Was he coming off as too lighthearted? Was he being funny enough? Was he being annoying? It brings with great relief when you put these worries of his at ease. When you laugh at his jokes and tell him how funny they were, when you assure him that you know he cares, when you take him seriously while others only see him as a joke? It simply means so very much to the big olâ dog. When you cheer him up after heâs been feeling down, you can bet youâll be getting loving snuggles for days!
Eddie
Giving: words of affirmation
This southern man is full of pure southern charm, whether it be intentional or not! He is a sweet talker, naturally so, always so incredibly kind to you and those around. You will hear constant compliments from the mailman, such high praise, and so much reassurance! He gives you a confidence boost for sure.
âWhy, to what do I owe the pleasure of stumblinâ among this pretty little peach on such a fine day?â Eddie leaned against the fence in your front yard.
âGood morning to you too, Eddie,â you chuckled, cheeks pinkening.Â
âGood morning, sugar,â he smiled in return. âHow goes it today, hun? Youâre lookinâ gorgeous this morninâ,â
âEddie, I literally just rolled out of bed,â you snickered, straightening up his crooked hat for him. He must have taken a stumble. Nonetheless, he leaned over and pecked your forehead.
âI said what I said,â he grinned.
Receiving: acts of service, words of adfirmtatiojnÂ
Eddie is forgetful, that is no secret at all. He always tends to accidentally leave something behind. His hat, a letter or package meant to be delivered, pens, so many things! When you remind him or bring them to him, he is so thankful! Another thing well known about Eddie is that he is quite the klutz! Although most times he manages to catch himself, he does occasionally trip and get hurt. When you gladly help him out with his injuries, he falls in love with you just a little more. Especially if you kiss it better! Sometimes, he gets pretty bashful about it. When you tell him you don't mind one bit and that youâre willing to go above and beyond for anything he needs, his heart flutters with joy!
Frank
Giving: quality time
Frank can be very quiet and reserved, keeping to himself. He enjoys his quiet time, but even more so, he enjoys his quiet time spent with you! He appreciates someone that he can spend time with little to no words shared at all, or a whole lot of them if youâre willing to listen to his rambles, so if you feel the same, he greatly appreciates your company. He often seeks you out for your presence in these cases. When you are doing something together, chances are, he will tell you some of his favourite facts about the butterflies around, the subject of the book you are reading, etcetera! He thinks that you are neat, so will tell you and teach you about this neat stuff to express his feelings toward you.
âAt first, this butterfly may appear to be a monarch. Although, if you take a closer look, you can notice this line on the hind wing, which means that it is not actually a monarch, but a viceroy butterfly instead,â
You and Frank sat side by side, a book open between you. You two were in the garden, backs against a tree, watching for any cool insects that came to check out the plants.
âIs there a reason why they look so much alike?â
âWell, monarchs are poisonous to eat because of a toxin in milkweed they consume when young. Their appearance allows predators to know theyâre not for eating. Viceroyâs copy this appearance to keep safe from predators as well,â
âIs there anything you donât know about butterflies?â You chuckled, peeking at him.
âThereâs always more to learn,â He smiled. You smiled back, shaking your head in amusement.Â
âI like it when you teach me. you describe things better than any book ever could,â you told him. His cheeks reddened, and he shifted his position slightly.Â
âI like teaching you. It makes me happy that youâre so willing to listen. I know Iâm quite ânerdyâ, Julie tends to make a point of reminding me, so itâs nice to have someone who shares the same appreciation towards things like this as myself,â Frank admitted, plucking at some grass. âBasically, what Iâm trying to say⌠thank you. I appreciate it, a lot,â
âYouâre more than welcome, Frank,â
Receiving: gift giving, quality time
A new book? For him? About his favourite subject at the moment? You bet he is jumping with joy, cheeks flushed and a smile on his face! Heâs so happy! A new butterfly net, after his last one broke? (darn it, Julie!) Wow! You just always know how to make his day. Along with this, Frank enjoys spending time alone to unravel sometimes. With you, though, he enjoys it a lot as well. When you come over, a book in hand, sitting down next to him and quietly reading with him? He loves moments like those.
Julie
Giving: physical affection, acts of service
Julie loves, loves, loves, hugs! Any moment they get, their arms are wrapped around you! If you two are walking together, you can bet that her hand is in yours or your arms are interlocked. She likes to run errands both for you or with you, as well! Oh, you want a snack from Howdyâs? Sheâll come along with you to keep you company! Youâre not feeling well? Donât worry! Theyâll go fetch you some soup from Poppy! You are their favourite person, theyâre more than willing to do whatever you need.
Receiving: physical affection
Julie likes receiving hugs and such as much as giving them! Sometimes, theyâre a little nervous that theyâre being a little too clingy, too touchy. When you return her acts of affection though, she is reassured that you arenât feeling this way! Either way, if you simply told her, she would understand and tone it down a notch. Anything to make sure youâre comfortable! Another thing that they like is if you play with their hair! Run your hands through it, put it up for them, braid it, whatever you feel like! Itâs one of their most favourite feelings in the world.
âCan you play with my hair, please?â Julie leaned towards you, flashing you the classic puppy eyes. âI need some help with brushing it!â She claimed, holding a brush out towards you. With a light hearted sigh of amusement, you took the brush from her, sitting down with a smile.
âCâmere,â you patted the space between your legs. She gladly plopped right down, getting comfy as you started on her hair, beginning at the ends.
âThank you!â She said, chipper and happy that you complied. You slowly dragged the brush through her hair, fingers following behind, carefully untangling any little knots.
âYouâre very welcome,â you smiled, noticing how much her body relaxed into yours. She basically melted under your touch, sinking back against you. âYou really do like this, donât you?â you snickered softly.
âI really do,â she admitted shamelessly, grinning. âI canât help it! It feels so nice and calming. Plus it gives me an excuse to spend more time with you!" she added. "Reminds me of when I was a kid as well,â she released a soft sigh, seeming to think back to when her siblings used to help with her hair.
âYeah, I get that,â you smiled, knowing she missed them sometimes. âI donât mind at all. I enjoy it,â
Poppy
Giving: gift giving/acts of service
Poppy is a gift giver and a favour doing. She loves it! Baking your favourite treats for you, quilting a cute new blanket for your couch, crocheting a comfy sweater for you, everything of that sort! Definitely her favourite thing to do. She loves those activities on their own, even more so with the intent of gifting them to her fellow neighbours, and even more so with the intent of gifting them to you!
âOh, good morninâ, hun!â Poppy exclaimed, pleased to see you at her barn. âI didnât expect you to stop by today. Iâm glad, though. I was actually just finishing up some baked goods for you,â she ushered you in with a smile.
âPoppy! You didnât need to,â you returned the smile with ease. Everything she did tended to put one on your face, afterall.Â
âYou know I love to, though. It keeps me busy, gives me something to do! A break from all the chaos the others always seem to get up to. Goodness, some days I feel theyâll give me a heart attack!â She held her feathered arm over her chest for emphasis.
âI certainly understand that,â you agreed with a chuckle. âThank you, Poppy.â
Receiving: acts of service
Now, despite enjoying doing things for you all the time and seeing it as no big deal, the moment you do something for her, she's so flustered! You didnât need to do that for her! Itâs strange having the roles switched, but she does find the feeling very pleasant. She knows that the things she does are done out of love, so having things done for her in a similar way just warms her heart.
Sally
Giving: words of affirmation
Sally loves to give you compliments! How nice you look, how good your performance was, how much it means to her for you to help her with her plays, so many things! Sweet words are always spilling from her mouth! She likes to see how flustered she can make you, sometimes. You look so cute!
Receiving: quality time/gifts
Sally loves it when you spend time with her, especially when she is rehearsing for one of her plays! Say the lines with her, she appreciates it an extra bit! She always puts on her best performance when you are around. You bring her confidence and energy. When you come and watch her neighbourhood plays, sheâs so happy seeing you in the crowd! If you volunteer to play a role in it? OH MY GOSH!!! Gives an extra good excuse to spend more time with you, too!
âSally!â You called out after a show, catching the (literal) stars' attention. Her face (literally ;) ) lit up at the sight of you, rushing over to talk.Â
âHi! Did you like the show? How did I look? I made a mistake in that first scene, but I think I covered it up alright!â
âYou did amazing,â you smiled, âso amazing, that I brought you these!â You removed your hands from behind your back, presenting a small bouquet of flowers to her. Her eyes widened in surprise, cheeks going red.
âGoodness, arenât those pretty! You are just the sweetest to me,â she gave you a bright grin, examining the flowers.Â
âYou deserve it,â you replied.
