Pls.... pls can I have some soft karl, maybe he hasn't slept in a few days and reader is trying to get him to sleep? I feel like he overworks himself especially when he has an idea
Ok so I am soft for soft Karl . I'm going to live vicariously through this ask buts boy oh boyarde it's been a hard week and I need some fluff. i am currently very sleep deprived myself so at the very least, im writing from experience.
Sleepy Karl headcanons
-Karl gets hella cranky when he's tired. I don't like to infantilize people but he really is like a damn toddler who just needs a juicebox and a nap. Everything irritates him but he doesn't have the energy to be angry so he just scowls and huffs and pouts and grumbles until you finally have enough and force him to bed.
- he's one of those people who refuse to rest in the middle of something. like if he stops, he knows he won't want to start again so he tries to power through. it has yet to work but his faith in himself is to be admired.
-He gets to a point of maximum snappiness and i think that's when you are best stepping in, putting your foot down and saying "look its time for sleep, the work will still be here when you wake up".
- he has 2 moods of being sleep deprived. 1st is a total drama queen, going on and on about how tired he is and how much he wants to pack this shit in and go to bed but he won't because needs to do just one more thing. He's snappy and grumpy and short with everyone you and himself included. Thankfully this is usually fixed with one or two good nights rest.
-2nd version is a lot quieter and honestly a lot more worrying. Either he doesn't sleep at all or he sleeps for 16 hours at a time and still wakes up exhausted. This doesn't happen often but you've noticed it happening more and more recently, as he steps up production of his metal army . He's got a lot going on in his head and is stressed beyond belief with everything thats going on. He's not snappy or angry or grumpy with you but he does keep insisting he's fine. I guess he just doesn't want you to worry.
-the only thing that helps him when he's like this is time passing and support from you. Don't become overbearing with him because he'll just retreat further. tell him once or twice you're there for him, he can come talk to you if he wants to and leave it at that. its going to take a few weeks but he'll be back to normal eventually.
-I think the best way to get him to go to bed is to just go yourself. don't bother staying up with him because he is stubborn as shit and there's no sense in the both of you having ruined sleeping patterns.
-by all means, make a show of going to bed. Start yawning about an hour before you go, make sure he sees you so he catches your yawns. go put your pajamas on and sit near him for a little while so he knows you're getting ready to go. Maybe shivver a little and say "gosh its cold tonight" so he knows you don't want to sleep alone. if you have a night time ritual like a bath or a cup of tea, try and include him in that or at least announce that you're doing it. the whole idea is to put the thought of sleep in his mind so that when you finally say "im going to bed, are you coming too?" he's more likely to say yes.
- when he's in that second kind of mood however, i wouldn't bother. stay up with him for a while, bring a blankie if you think you might fall asleep on the sofa but don't pressure him to go to bed with you. ask if he wants to talk about it but if not, try to keep things light. If he wants to talk in general or just hear your voice, distract him, if he wants to concentrate, let him. He needs to work this out in his head by himself before he can get any sort of peace and you sort of just need to leave him to it.
- if you do go to bed, maybe try and check on him if you wake up during the night. Often times you'll come downstairs or into his quarters and find him passed out at his desk. throw a blanket around him but dont wake him up, because he'll go right back to work.
- When he finally caves and comes to bed with you he's just going to faceplant into the duvet and pillows, clothes and boots still on. He's going to lie on top and wait for you to invite him in under the sheets. When hes super tired like this,he just wants to be taken care of ; pull off his jacket for him, toss his hat and glasses on the night stand and pull the blankets over him.
-he's not needy by any stretch of the imagination but he is a little clingy when he's tired. He gets cold and wants your warmth, wants you to be big spoon and stroke his back or play with his hair while he falls asleep. I hope you dont mind having a lie in because if he falls asleep holding onto you he absolutely will not let go.
there you go nonnie! i am extremely tired but i have work tomorrow and about 20 asks still to do :D

Resident evil Village- Crystals and why theyre important.
I SHOULD BE WORKING ON KARL ASKS BUT IF I DONT WRITE THIS SHIT DOWN IM GOING TO FUCKIN SCREAM
OK SO LIKE
CRYSTALS.
THE FUCK ARE THE CRYSTALS?
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?
Maybe I can answer? Or at the very least, throw out some theories and shit for people to enjoy
All this contains spoilers for the whole game as well as a lot of talk about the lords of the village.
Ok so we know from in game texts that when molded people die, their cells
Calcify and turn into a crystal/crystal quartz. Usually they crumble into nothing, like marguerite baker or eveline at the end of the game. However given that the end of zoe dlc is canon, we know that A) this process can be done on people who are still alive and B) This process is potentially reversible.
So if you look at Zoe in the dlc, she's frozen in crystal as a punishment by Evie, not fully but enough to be unconscious and imobile. Evie does this remotely as punishment for trying to escape her, she doesn't need to see or touch Zoe to do this. Her uncle has to get her “serum” which breaks down the crystals and lets her move again. None of this cures the mold in her body, it’s very likely she’ll be like mia; needing treatment for the mold or having small amounts of mold in her body for the rest of her life. But regardless, Zoe lives, now Something akin to Jill Valentine in re3 and 5. Jill is infected with the t-virus and given a vaccine by Carlos, but this doesn't actually cure her completely. The whole reason re5 even happened was because jill had trace amounts of t-virus in her body ( that wesker then used to make his uroboros stronger and so on).Despite 3 years of medicine, mia still has mold in her; we know this because Rose has mold in her and because miranda was using mia for her mold experiments. She couldnt do that if mia was cured completely
I should stop beating around the bush and get to the point of why I'm even mentioning this. My theory is that if you were able to get the crystalised remains of a mold infected person, you could potentially bring them back to life using serum or something similar.
Now, before you go spitting at me for reaching, hear me out. We know from both Miranda's research and from the BSAA’s field notes that the mutamycte “catalogs” memories of those in the village infected with the mold. In a room adjacent to a large strand of mold, quite close to where you learn Miranda is after some sort of “data” ( later suggested to be Eva’s memories to implant in rose) there is a cave filled with crystals that Ethan can shoot down from the roof and take. This close to the section where karl tells you to exit via a mausoleum, in a graveyard with presumably a lot of dead bodies. Could this cave be the remains of villagers long since dead ? been there so long theyve calcified? Could the mold have Stored them there like some sort of people library?
Before anyone says this is nonsense, know this. Rosemary was crystalised and put into containers. Once her parts were reunited and she was bathed in mold, she was able to come back. Could the same not work for the crystal fragments of the lords and alcinas daughters? They have very large crystal remains, alcina leaves almost her entire body behind as a crystal, much like zoe. If you were to expose these remains to serum to decalcify them and let the mold do its healing thing, could people be revived?
I dont think it's TOO far fetched to say you could put memories in crystal. The crystal resembles quartz, which has the ability to hold an electric charge. Theoretically if it was a particularly special quartz, it could hold the electric impulses from a person's brain when they think and form memories. It's not TOO far out of the reach of science fiction.
This isn't even taking into account the cadou. Yes, it could be a memory thing but It seems to me that it's sort of a signal booster or relay hub for the mold. It could potentially send information to and from the main mold body under the village, explaining why/ how the mold catalogs people without having to touch them like it did with Miranda. For example, On a smaller scale, Donna uses her parasite to spread her powers out over her dolls, but the central parasite is in her face/brain. Or at least, that's the implication. Miranda's diary states she spread her cadou over many dolls, not cadou(s) as in many parasites, just the one. Meaning all the dolls are a part of her singular parasite and thus part of the network for the mold, similar to the mutamycte and its network of villagers , lycans and other infected.
I know I don't have much canon proof. This is mostly me speculating and it’s unlikely we’ll ever get confirmation, even in dlc form.
BUT.
It’s my theory that Ethan is carrying around the cadou parasites in crystals, not just the crystal remains, which means he is not only carrying around their bodies but also potentially their memories, which is all that would be needed to revive the person, should the right conditions be met.
We very clearly see enemies crumble to dust when they die, it would be hard to bring someone back from that. However in the case of the lords, parts are left, much larger amounts of dry mold than the rest of the enemies, with the exception of Donna.
However her real parasite could be in Angie, who survives the fight and is something we can carry with us. Same with Alcina, we see her being fed the parasite by Miranda in one of her journals, meaning her parasite is in her chest. What part of her remains do we take with us?
Tumblr media
Ah yes, her torso with a large hole where the heart should be. It works with the others too:

How would the five lords react to the SO death.
Each one would die from heart break
ssksksksk SO I ACTUALLY HAVENT FLESHED OUT HOW I WRITE ANY OF THE LORDS EXCEPT HEISENBERG. IM STILL IN THE PROCESS OF DOING IT BUT ILL CERTAINLY GIVE THEM ALL A GO
Miranda
Miranda is completely at a loss over your death. She now needs 2 vessels to bring back both her greatest loves. She's even more violent than before, stepping up her experiments and expanding the mold to dangerous degrees. If somehow she does manage to bring you back, she wont be the same woman you loved, so changed by grief she is virtually unrecognisable. part of her wanted to curl up and die, just as she had done with Eva but she knew she had to press on, no matter the cost to her or the world at large.
Alcina
Alcina is dramatic but perhaps justifiably so. She's never loved anyone as she did you. Learning that you had died was physically painful for her. she goes through the stages of grief quicker than most. First is shock. she laughs at the messenger, tells them they are mistaken. how could YOU have died? she took such good care of you, protected you from everyone and everything. there's no way, they have the wrong address. When the message finally reaches her brain, alcina goes quiet and paler than normal. her eyes are welling up but she tries to stay composed, wait until she is alone before breaking down in a fit of despair. She breaks things, smashes mirrors and windows and screams until her voice gives out. After anger comes depression; alcina spends days if not weeks locked in her personal quarters sobbing and looking over old photos. She doesn't eat or drink, even at her daughters insistence and begins to wither away. They miss you too, you made their mother so happy.
Eventually Miranda interveens, forcing alcina to get a grip and take care of her condition again. She promises alcina if the right vessel can be found, she will bring you back again. Miranda has no intention of following through, but it will ensure Alcina's loyalty for years to come. She adds another rose to her lapel. a white one to represent her pure love for you.
Donna
Donna's reaction to the news of your passing has people a little concerned. she doesn't cry, she doesn't scream, she doesn't even seem to react at all. the only sign that she's even heard the news is that Angie twitches in her hand slightly. Donna removes herself from the situation, literally and figuratively. She takes to her bed, losing interest in even breathing in and out. Angie gathers dust by her bedside and donna hardly moves for days at a time. she seems even more like a ghost than normal.
One day, she appears back with the other lords like nothing has happened, but they can all sense her illness has gotten worse than before. Her flowers sprout everywhere and even the other lords are stuck with her forced hallucinations of you, making them all pretend you're alive and well. When that finally falls through donna disappears again for a few days, returning with a new doll to play with. She brings the you!puppet to meetings, has dinner with it and takes it to bed like its the real thing. Its very unhealthy all round. poor girl just isnt coping well.
Moreau
ok might lose some people with this one but moreau looks to you as a parental figure more than a partner. i don't think he has the mental capacity for such relationships in his current state. Losing you is like a child losing their guardian , just as devastating as losing an s/o albeit in a different way . he wanders about the reservoir looking lost and sobbing. he does that thing that fish do when they're sick, just sitting at the bottom of his lake not moving until the stones start to scratch up his stomach and legs. when someone coaxes him onto dry land he just lies in front of his tv and watches the static, or replays your favorite movie on repeat until the tape wears out. The other lords actually feel for him, they want to help but have no idea how. they just didn't understand your relationship or why you would even want to be around him. His love for you competed with his love for miranda, so she wasn't sad to see you go. After a few days of letting him mope she goes about poisoning Moreau's memory of you. Soon his love for you is replaced with even more fanatic love for miranda. She didn't leave him like you did after all.
Karl
Outwardly, he seems to take it the best out of all of them. He accepts the news somewhat gracefully. i imagine he asks to see your body so he can say goodbye, no matter what state you were in. Actually the state of your body would depend on how well he cold keep it together. no wounds to the point you looked like you were sleeping, he'd spend a lot of time saying goodbye, stroking your hair and cheek, maybe talking to you for a few hours. i imagine he would give you something of his like his necklace or tags so that you would always have a piece of him. He'd keep it together until he was alone, then break down. Karl's response to a lot of negative emotional stimuli is usually anger, but right now he just doesnt have the energy for that. He just sits in his chair or a corner of his lab and drinks until he passes out.
If you were a mangled mess, he would be less stoic. I imagine he would need to be pulled away from your body by the other lords to stop him seeing you in such a state. They dont want his last memory of you to be of blood and gore.
If miranda were responsible? well, somethings getting broken. Karl lets out a massive discharge of electricity that takes out a lot of the electrics in the building. foolish, since he'll need to replace them but he just had to get that anger out. He's out for this woman's blood now.
No matter what happened to you, karl is even more determined to get his revenge on miranda. He works all hours of the day and night to perfect his experiments and pull a bride of frankenstein and bring you back somehow. again, like donna, this is not a healthy way to cope but we all know grief does funny things to people
there you go nonnie! i had a lot of fun with this one, im actually trying hard to write for alcina right now so maybe ill start writing the other lords eventually too!

SFW Alphabet: Karl Heisenberg
Tumblr media
Long post under the cut lads. no spoilers i can think of but is a bit of speculation
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Karl can be quite rude and sarcastic, even to the people he loves. If you're familiar with the concept of negging, that's sort of what he’s like. It’s mostly done in jest, so i hope you have a good sense of humor. He’s liable to brush off your concerns but i imagine he’d be very hurt and annoyed at himself if he thought he really upset or offended you.
His language of love leans towards gift giving. He likes to tinker and make little things. He’s quite artistic, if you leave him alone for an hour with nothing to do he’ll make origami cranes, bend paperclips into little people or doodle on post it notes. He’ll give you these in an off handed sort of way but he also likes to put time into making things especially for you: metal work sculptures, wood carvings, trinkets and gadgets for you to use.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
I think this was the first thing i ever said about Karl but he looks like he’d be great to go on the piss with, you know? Like he’d be great for a night out but i don't know if i would depend on him for much unless i knew him REALLY well. I imagine you’d go out for a few drinks and wake up the next morning in a kanoo full of strawberries, in someone else's clothes wearing handcuffs and cuddling a penguin you and Karl stole from the zoo. It would be a lot of fun but Karl would not be the person you wanted to spend the next morning with, horrifically hung-over and arguing about the best way to make a fry for breakfast. He seems like the kind of friend to rock up at your house at 3 am , bang on your door with his hammer and yell “Get up loser, we’re going to mcdonalds!” then bodily drag you out of your bed by the feet if you did not come willingly. “Quit your whining, it’ll be fun!” is his favorite phrase.
How would a friendship between you two start? He seems like a really friendly guy in a sort of superficial way. He makes friends easily but the people he can really depend on, he can count on his hand. My mind instantly says you worked at the factory and he invited you out after work? Maybe you made a joke while working and he laughed? Or maybe you were from outside the village, got lost and he gave you directions to the nearest inn? It probably happened from him inserting himself in your life and just dragging you along for the ride
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
The second thing I ever said about Karl is that he looks like he gives GREAT hugs. Man round, man fluffy,Him somft. One might even call him Friend shaped. He hugs as a greeting, as a goodbye and everything in between. He likes to throw his arm around people as he walks places, you on one arm and his hammer in the other. He really strikes me as an incredibly touch starved person. I mean, if he’s as old as the other lords, when's the last time he had a damn hug? They don't strike me as particularly affectionate people, his sister especially. The lycans like pats too! Karl has to give out pats daily or he’ll have a bunch of huffy lycans on his hands. Do you know who never gets pats? Poor Karl!
I worry it's been so long he might not know how to just sit with a friend and cuddle on the sofa. He’d fidget and want to be doing something instead of just relaxing. You’d need to weight him down with a blanket or drape your legs across his lap to keep him there.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Ehhhh….the long and the short of it is, no and he's not very good at being domestic either. I canon he grew up in the castle, he had servants look after cooking and cleaning and so on. His parents probably never thought he’d live to be ancient and need to know how to cook and clean for himself so he had to learn later in life. Where Alcina was presumably raised to know she’d need to carry on the dimitrescu name, Karl was probably told to think carefully about who he’d want to eventually pass the factory down to. What with being nearly immortal he never gave it much thought and now it just seems pointless to him. He likes his own space too much, the freedom to do whatever and whenever he pleases.
He seems like an incredibly chill person about things that might stress out others, but i feel like he might occasionally stress clean. Maybe something he picked up from one of his parents or a maid who looked after him. Sort of “we’re having company over so the house needs to be spotless “ sort of thing. Again, he’s not good at it, it's mostly just a distraction tactic so he can keep busy and not think about whatever is stressing him out.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
God, I hope he never has to break up with someone. He’s going to be a dramatic mother fucker about it. He has absolutely been broken up with before, many times. Sometimes he forced the other party to break up with him so he wouldn't have to, sometimes they left of their own volition. Karl as a partner can be...an acquired taste. Yes he’s loving but he’s not kind. Yes you would be financially secure, but you’d have to take his name and leave your old life behind. He’s got money but he's going to have to leave you alone a lot to earn it. Then there’s the inlaws. He’s going to have to keep his sister from eating you at thanksgiving dinners, or Donna from making you a part of her doll house or moreau from accidentally drowning you.
All of that is a lot of stress and hassle for one person and he’s more than aware of the sacrifices someone would have to make to be with him long term. Don't even get him started on the whole living forever thing. but,I suppose when you're nearly immortal there's no rush on these sorts of things, is there?
If you break up with him, it's going to be a lot of “yeah i get it” and then sorrow, self pity and drinking in private. A lot of swearing at his dumb family, their dumb rules and this dumb situation he’s found himself in.
If he was angry enough to break up with you over something? He's a drama queen. Seals you in a saw style trap and says you can go if you get out. But to get out you’d have to read some private dms or do the laundry you said you'd do but never did while Karl chirps over the tannoy “OH SO YOU DO KNOW HOW”
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Uh...im sure ill upset a lot of you reading this but no. Karl doesn't really want to get married. A partner? Sure he’d love one if he could find someone willing to put up with all this bullshit but i spouse? That's different. He’s stuck with you. You're stuck with him and the rest of his family. God help you.
There's a few reasons he’s not in love with this whole commitment thing: first and most pressing is the age thing. What happens if you grow old without him? How will he cope without you? Or worse? What if Miranda decides to make you like them? You’ll be stuck with them forever, your own family will all grow old without you? That was hard enough the first time, how will he do it again? And what if you broke up? He can't just start releasing nearly immortal people into the world willy-nilly. Does he kill you post breakup??? Does he have to keep you in the village forever? What if it makes you miserable? How will he live with himself????
There are more but these are the kinds of things that keep him awake at night. He might do questionable things, bad things even, but something about inflicting that sort of suffering on someone you claim to love makes him feel squirmy and uncomfortable and he just doesn't want to deal with it.
I can foresee an alternate scenario: an arranged marriage to gain the village an ally or more power. Karl is the younger child, Alcina is the one with all the money and power. Perhaps a marriage to the child of a wealthy or powerful person would make some use of the second child? It would probably be someone like Alcina or Miranda who arranged it, Karl would have little say in matters. I don't know how long the engagement would be but I'm certain the wedding day is the first time you two see each other. Karl is doing his best to be suave and charming to his new partner but the man is shitting bricks.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
With people he actually gives a shit about, he really does try hard. He’s not used to having to control his temper or pull his punches or reel himself in. The lycans don't care and if he accidentally kills someone it's not a big deal. Who's going to tell? He has a bit of a temper, just look at how he yelled at Angie and donna. He treats you with kid gloves, like he’s afraid to hurt you, even if you are the kind of person who can handle themselves. Like I said above, he can be rude and hurtful but it's his sense of humor more than any sort of malicious intent. He’s not good at all that “soppy romantic bullshit” like Alcina is but occasionally he can come off with some genuinely sweet things.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
God this man is so fucking touch starved its unreal. Acts like a touch guy with his big ass hammer and cigar but he will absolutely melt if you stroke his hair, shiver and maybe even whimper if it's been a while. He’ll totally deny it after but you know what you heard. As i mentioned earlier, Karl hugs for every occasion and he’ll take them whenever and however he can get them.Definitely smothers you in his chest given the height difference but he also likes to stick his face into the crook of your neck to breath in your scent. I think his favorite kind of hugs are those that start as you walk towards each other then break into a run and leap into his arms and do a little twirl at the end. I think he’s been watching too many romantic movies with his nieces.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Hello! I really like your headcanons, and I'm excited for your fics. If it's possible, can I request some headcanons for Karl's lover getting hurt/killed by Ethan in a way similar to Dimitrescu's daughters? I have a serious thing for angst, and it seems like Karl's a goldmine.
oof nonnie ur gonna give me feelies with this one. 
Karl reacts to his S/O's death at ethans hands
-what can i tell you? he reacts about as well as one might expect. in private he breaks down, screams and cries out your name, cursing ethan winters with every fiber of his being.
-In public he seems more composed, but scratch the surface and you'll see he's become worse in every way without you. he's more violent, more sadistic, shorter tempered and angrier than he's ever been. He chain smokes, refuses to eat and drinks more than he ever did with you. If he showed up to a lords meeting drunk as a skunk i wouldn't be surprised. Simply put, he's coping badly and without you he just doesn't care anymore.
-things go flying and i don't just mean because of his magnet powers. When Karl first hears/sees the news, he throws things like alcina threw her vanity ( must run in the family), anything he can get his hands on until wherever he currently is looks like a bomb has hit it, total unbridled destruction.
-Karl is nowhere near as good at keeping composed as Alcina. when she's around ethan she makes jokes and although she's angry, she's still vaguely flirtatious (in a black widow sort of way)with him. in private we see she's still able to think with reason, telling cassandra , the families best hunter, to bring her his head. Karl however? Reason and logic go out the window, he's going to hunt ethan down himself and rip out his spleen with his bare hands.
-finding that Miranda has already killed him however, just sends him spiraling down. He wasn't strong enough to protect you, he wasn't able to convince ethan to kill miranda, he couldn't kill either of them himself. He feels inept, incompetent, inadequate and weak. every negative thing miranda has ever said to him comes to the forefront of his mind.
-Miranda has the gaul to mock Karl while he's in this vulnerable state. Really grind her heel into an open wound. she berets him for being too weak to protect you and take out ethan, makes jokes about how she's cleaning up after her children. i see her being motherly in a very harsh, condescending way. She tells him to be grateful you were killed before he had a chance to get attached and that he should be happy she's taken care of ethan for him.
-I see things going one of two ways. Either karl snaps or he falls into numbness and gives up on revenge:
- If karl snaps under the stress, miranda is going to find out what he's been up to: the army, the coup, trying to steal rose. She goes through him for a shortcut, karl fights like he doesnt care if he lives or dies. without you, theres no point. He loses, unsurprisingly but i dont think the fear comes until miranda refuses to deliver the killing blow. He cant fathom living without you, he wasnt counting on surviving long enough to have to find out what thats like. Sadly for Karl, miranda has gotten quite creative with her punishments over the centuries.
-If he lets himself succumb to despair, he simply becomes miranda's puppet. He has no interest in revenge anymore. whats the point? the whole point of being free was to be with you. and since ethan is dead too his life has no purpose. He gives into his fate at mirandas side, simply because he doesnt care enough to resist anymore
And then karl woke up from his nightmare, you were still lying there very much alive and everything wasnt terrible <3
i love angst nonnie but now ive just made myself sad so im going to write some comfort stuff for myself.
