indentured  servant  >  blacksmith  >  pirate  >  vessel  >  bog demon
i  really  make  gonzo  go  through  so  many  transitions  and  he  is  always  something  different  depending  on  who  he’s  around,  it’s  wild.  blacksmith  when  he’s  by  himself,  pirate  when  he’s  with  his  found  family / friends,  bog  demon  when  with  the  other  bogs.  no  wonder  he  has  an  identity  crisis  tbh  ( i  mean  it’s  the  trauma  of  losing  his  memory  and  getting  possessed  by  the  horned  king  too  but  anyways )

HEADCANON :  pets / animals
* trigger  warning  for  animal / pet  death,  torture  of  an  animal  &  child  abuse.
When Gonzo was a child Creeper gave him a young six month old cat. Gonzo named him Pitter for the sound his paws made on the dungeon floor, he grew to love that cat, would give him portions of his own food and water, and keep Pitter healthy and clear of fleas and any infections.
One day Creeper came to him and told him to kill it, and Gonzo refused. [ TRIGGER  WARNING ] Creeper would take Pitter from Gonzo, locking Gonzo behind his dungeon cell door and slice Pitter’s belly open with a knife, leaving Pitter on the floor just out of Gonzo’s reach. Gonzo was forced to listen to Pitter cry and watch him bleed out until he died, it was slow and painful for the animal and Gonzo has been traumatized ever since. When Creeper came to him with another cat and ordered him to kill it, Gonzo snapped its neck as quickly as he could, desperate to ensure that Creeper didn’t kill it slowly like he had Pitter.
Unbeknown to Gonzo, this had been the intention. Creeper conditioned Gonzo into being able to kill on command. Gonzo would justify his actions by convincing himself that he was saving the creatures from a worse fate, if he could kill the creatures quickly, then Creeper would not be able to kill them slowly or painfully. Creeper would repeat this action over and over with different animals over the course of Gonzo’s early childhood. [ TRIGGER  WARNING  END ]
Due to these experiences, Gonzo becomes extremely stiff, tense and uncomfortable around animals, especially domesticated animals like cats, dogs, rabbits and others, which will typically lead to the animals becoming nervous around him. He cannot watch people with their pet animals without feeling sick to his stomach and breaking out into a cold sweat and will typically avoid looking at them, or simply excuse himself, avoiding being around animals as much as he is able to.
Over continued exposure to domesticated animals, in particular large dogs, farm animals such as pigs and cows, as well as horses, Gonzo has been working on becoming more comfortable around animals as a whole. Cats however, continue to be very difficult for him to interact with for extended periods of time.

❛   ▌┊𝐒𝐄𝐌𝐈-𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑 :   gonzo ( @zzozo​​​​​​ ) .
Tumblr media
        𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍'𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐌, but he watched her for a few minutes. Her long, dark hair caught in the wind as she laughed at something someone said. Konstantin didn’t get the fascination Gonzo had with her. She seemed like any other girl — naïve and stupid. And emotional; he could practically smell the different notes of emotion she carried and it clung to her like a fine perfume. For a split second, Konstantin considered feeding, but it vanished as quickly as the thought surfaced. No, he had something else in mind. 
         With one last look at Corinne, he ducked into the nearest building. 
        The heat of the forge could be felt even before Konstantin stepped over the threshold into the smithy. Sounds of metal striking filled the tepid air, the sweltering heat prompting Konstantin to lift a hand to his face to push back damp, blond curls. He shut the door with force and suddenly the smithy was silent; his presence known. 
        As he ventured further into the room, Konstantin’s expression remained as listless as ever. Blank eyes scanned the room for Gonzo’s familiar figure. It wasn’t hard to spot him, hunched over what Konstantin presumed was another project. 
Tumblr media
        ❝  Zo,  ❞ The blond gave a non-committal wave in greeting, leaning against a nearby post that kept him still a fair distance from the forge fires. He studied his “brother” for a moment, expecting to feel something akin to annoyance but his expression remained unchanged. There was no need to pretend with Gonzo. ❝  Y’got a minute?  ❞
Tumblr media
Gonzo sat at his workbench, currently covered in various notched metal slabs, bent over an uncut slab of steel measuring out notches when he heard the door crash closed. Jerking his head upright, Gonzo met Konstantin's dark eyes across the room and raised his chin in response to his non-committal wave.
Tumblr media
     ❝ Hey, yeah, gimme a sec, ❞  Gonzo set his work aside, pushing himself upright and lowering the forge's shield. Rather than douse the forges fires completely, it expelled the heat through the vents and outside while also muffling the sound of the blaze, creating a quieter space to converse without needing to yell.
         There was always something a little unnerving about Konstantin, more so than the rest of their siblings at least, but that uneasy feeling always became more noticeable whenever Konstantin chose not to bother mirroring other people’s emotions. Sometimes Gonzo felt as if he could almost mistake him for one of his automatons. Sculpted from white steel, painted with black eyes, given every chiseled feature but always missing something.
         ❝ Everything okay? ❞  Gonzo asked, brows furrowed slightly. Despite or perhaps even in spite of that unnerving air around him, Gonzo always found himself worrying about Konstantin more than the others. Everyone else seemed to have a pair, Freyja and Flea, Jagna and Katja, Alexei and Yana, Valeria and Maya, only Konstantin seemed to stand apart.

Her reluctant expression soon morphed into one of intrigue. Even when she had lived on the Isle, parties for any kind of traditional occasion were kind of rare, especially New Years parties, which were supposed to be about optimism. She never really allowed herself to enjoy many of them.
“Nah, this fancy royal advisor is sick of Auradon’s holiday balls,” She snickered, sitting up straighter. “I’m just saying …you’re cool showing up with me to that?”
Tumblr media
To  outsiders,  Gonzo  didn't  especially  go  out  of  his  way  to  reveal  how  much  he  enjoyed  revelry,  but  he  did.  He  had  spent  most  of  his  early  life  miserable  and  alone,  any  chance  to  go  out  and  enjoy  simple  things  like  music,  dancing,  or  rough-housing  with  his  friends  and  family,  they  were  some  of  his  favourite  things.
          ❝  That's  the  spirit,  ❞  Gonzo  laughed,  ❝  screw  Auradon's  stiff  lip  events,  nothing  like  an  Isle  rager  to  start  the  new  year.  ❞  Gonzo  jerked  his  head  in  the  direction  of  where  he  wanted  to  lead  her  and  rolled  his  eyes  at  the  question,  ❝  I'm  good  with  it,  anybody  has  something  to  say  about  it,  they  can  get  their  shit  rocked.  Besides,  I  wanna  see  how  many  drinks  it  takes  for  your  face  to  go  red,  ❞

NEW YEAR STARTERS @zzozo· asked: “Want to go to a party?”
Mal’s head tilted a bit as she looked over in Gonzo’s direction. She knew there were all sorts of parties happening tonight to ring in the new year. As far as Auradon’s parties went, the thrill had started to wear off the longer that she resided …and the outfits, while pretty, were kind of stuffy after a while.
“Are you, like, inviting me to one?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gonzo  raised  his  brows  expectantly  as  Mal  fixed  him  with  one  of  her  stares.  He  had  to  admit,  the  uncertainty  of  whether  or  not  he  was  actually  inviting  her  to  a  party  was  well  founded  considering  their  history  but  the  pirate  shrugged,  an  easy  grin  on  his  lips.
“Yeah,  why  not?”  Gonzo  asked,  “or  are  fancy  royal  advisors  too  good  for  Isle  parties  nowadays?”

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐄  𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍:  halloween  costume.
Sticking  to  his  usual  colour  palette,  Gonzo  opted  to  dress  up  as  a  card  game  character  called  "No  Face".  Supposedly  a  murdered  nobleman  that  haunts  the  in-game  battlefield  killing  warriors,  knights,  nobles  or  royals  unfortunate  enough  to  trigger  his  trap  card,  while  one  of  the  games  strongest  trap  cards,  usable  once  per  hand  and  able  to  be  pulled  from  a  discarded  deck  when  paired  with  another  card  called  "The  Banshee".
Gonzo  dressed  in  white  and  off-white,  a  sheer  formal  shirt  with  golden  detailing,  a  pair  of  dress  slacks  and  a  pair  of  long  boots  with  similar  gold  accents  for  the  lace  buttons.  He  also  wore  a  long  white  coat  and  accessorized  with  golden  rings  and  a  various  gold  and  pearl  necklaces  of  various  lengths.  He  finished  the  look  with  a  white  featureless  mask.
Both  Gonzo's  shirt,  coat  and  boots  are  made  from  colour  changing  fabrics,  turning  bright  red  when  wet  or  damp  and  drying  back  to  its  usual  white  allowing  for  some  fun  misshaps  to  spilled  drinks,  rain,  or  other  liquid  spills  throughout  the  Halloween  weekend.

𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂  𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑  𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒
𝐟𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜.    cotton,  and  wool,  soft,  thick,  and  stretchy  fabrics  that  he  can  move  in  and  that  protect  him  from  cold  winds.  denim  is  one  of  the  only  restrictive  fabrics  he's  willing  to  wear,  he  also  likes  light  linens  and  polyester.
𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭.    engineering,  specifically  the  designing  and  construction  of  buildings  or  things.  he  loves  to  work  with  his  hands,  he  loves  building  things  that  will  outlast  him,  that  will  make  life  easier,  or  that  will  help  someone  with  something.  he  enjoys  creating  something  from  what  might  have  been  nothing  before.
𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞.    family  drama,  gonzo  struggles  with  social  anxiety  and  he  likes  reading  or  watching  things  that  tell  stories  about  complex  people  and  their  relationships  with  others.  he  likes  seeing  the  way  that  people  can  deal  with  situations,  issues,  or  environments,  it  helps  him  understand  people  better  while  also  allowing  him  to  be  at  a  safe  distance  in  order  to  learn.
𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞  𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞.    safe,  he  wants  to  feel  safe,  and  he  wants  the  people  he  loves  to  feel  safe  with  him.  he  believes  it  should  be  comfortable,  and  as  natural  as  breathing,  something  that  is  instinctual  and  casual.  this  doesn't  mean  that  he  expects  love  to  be  easy,  he  knows  that  it  isn't,  and  he  knows  that  there  will  be  ups  and  downs,  struggles  and  conflicts,  but  he  wants  the  love  to  always  be  waiting,  protected,  and  safe.
𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫.    snapdragons,  spikes  of  brightly  coloured  flowers  which  are  said  to  represent  both  deception  and  graciousness.  gonzo  dresses  himself  in  colours  that  stand  out,  but  his  body  language,  expressions,  and  personality  tend  to  make  people  think  he's  mean  or  cold,  however  this  often  conceals  a  much  softer,  gentler,  and  kinder  nature.
𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.    earth,  he's  very  grounded,  set  in  his  ways,  and  practical,  he  leaves  little  room  for  flexibility,  and  tends  to  be  a  bit  stoic  but  he's  prone  to  sudden  turbulent  emotions  which  can  shake  everything  around  him  and  is  dangerous  when  upset.
𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧  𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞.    tree  roots,  the  kind  that  climb  up  out  of  the  ground,  tangled,  uneven,  lumpy.  tree  roots  that  you  can  sit  on  beneath  the  trees  branches  and  look  out  over  the  land  or  into  the  wood.  tree  roots  that  you  could  trip  over  if  you're  not  careful.
𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞.    touch,  always  working  with  his  hands,  always  reaching  out  to  touch  something,  to  see  who  it  feels,  to  test  its  weight,  to  figure  out  it's  shape  and  memorize  it  to  his  hands.  but  also  the  act  of  being  touched,  of  letting  someone  feel  his  skin,  his  scars,  to  run  fingers  through  his  hair,  parts  of  him  that  he  hides,  conceals,  pulls  away  from.
𝐦𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥  𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.    griffin,  a  combination  of  a  lion  and  an  eagle,  which  combines  intelligence  and  strength.  gonzo  has  always  been  two  things,  both  mortal  and  demon,  boy  and  man,  he's  never  just  one  thing,  and  just  like  a  griffin,  he  is  both  highly  intelligent,  and  incredibly  strong.
𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.    thunderstorms,  they're  loud  and  dangerous,  but  they  align  with  the  feeling  of  staying  indoors,  of  sheltering  under  the  boom  of  thunder  in  thick  blankets,  in  the  crackle  of  a  home  fire,  of  hot  mugs  of  tea.  something  about  existing  at  the  same  time  as  a  thunderstorm  makes  him  feel  mortal.
𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞  𝐨𝐟  𝐝𝐚𝐲.    midday,  everyone's  awake,  but  there's  that  lull  in  the  middle  of  the  day  where  you  can  catch  your  breath  with  the  people  you're  closest  to.  where  you  can  share  a  tray  of  food,  a  drink  from  a  canister,  where  you  can  touch  base  with  your  friends  and  family  and  ask  them  what  they're  up  to,  how  their  day  is  going,  do  they  need  anything.
𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭.    fire  and  earth,  the  smell  of  the  forge.  cold  steel  and  hot  iron,  heat  and  tension,  the  scent  of  a  hard  day  on  beaten  steel.
𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐞.    ginger,  sharp  and  warm,  with  woody  and  floral  notes.  it's  strong,  and  easily  noticable  and  is  often  in  your  face,  but  it's  also  soothing  in  its  own  way.
𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭  𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦.    glowing  embers,  the  remnants  of  a  fire  fading  out,  the  way  that  it  can  beam  to  life  with  a  brush  of  wind,  the  way  that  it  can  still  burn  even  as  its  dying,  glowing  embers  are  the  evidence  of  something  that  has  already  happened.
𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫  𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦.    water  straight  from  the  tap,  instant,  impatient,  it's  something  needed  right  now,  it  can  fill  a  glass,  or  a  bucket,  or  a  barrel,  ignore  the  groaning  pipes,  this  water  could  last  forever.
𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭  𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞.    hands,  his  hands  are  always  warm,  always  hot  to  the  touch,  he  uses  them  to  touch,  to  reach  out,  to  hold,  to  help  friends  stand  steady,  to  warm  his  lovers,  to  create.
𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.    fear,  he  has  so  many  people  that  he  wants  to  hold  onto,  but  he  doesn't  know  how  when  the  world  is  so  much  bigger  than  it  used  to  be,  and  he  wants  them  to  be  happy  and  do  what  they  want,  but  he's  afraid  of  what  will  happen  if  they  go,  and  he's  afraid  of  what  will  happen  if  they  stay.
𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.    cygnus,  which  tells  the  story  of  a  man  by  the  same  name,  who  sacrificed  his  immortality  to  be  transformed  into  a  swan  so  that  he  could  dive  deep  into  the  waters  to  retrieve  the  body  of  his  best  friend  and  allow  him  to  travel  into  the  afterlife.

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐄  𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍  :  isle  style  .
Prior  to  the  barrier’s  removal,  Gonzo’s  style  of  dress  was  rustic,  a  hybrid  of  bohemian  and  industrial  pieces  created  from  recycled  materials  and  fabrics  disposed  of  by  Auradon  and  transported  to  the  Isle.  As  such,  his  dress  style  was  ragged  and  patchy  and  it  wasn’t  unusual  for  some  articles  of  clothing  to  be  made  of  two  or  more  types  of  fabrics.  Beyond  the  layered  and  oftentimes  oversized  fits,  Gonzo’s  clothes  were  somewhat  plain.  Not  only  did  his  pieces  lack  in  the  usual  Isle  aesthetic  of  studs,  spikes,  and  visible  stitching's,  but  he  generally  avoided  leather.  Instead  the  dominant  fabrics  seen  in  Gonzo’s  wardrobe  were  denim,  cotton,  linen,  and  wool  as  Gonzo  struggled  with  the  restrictive  feeling  that  wearing  leather  had  on  him  so  he  compensated  with  oilskin/oilcloth,  boiled  wool  or  coated  nylon  in  order  to  resist  the  damp  and  wet  weather  of  the  Isle.
Like  most  Isleborn,  Gonzo  has  a  specific  colour  scheme  which  can  be  found  throughout  his  wardrobe.  Like  his  crewmate  Gil,  Gonzo  valued  earthy  brown  and  yellow  tones  but  gravitated  towards  lighter  shades  and  chose  feature  pieces,  such  as  his  hoodies,  jackets  or  coats,  to  be  olive  and  muted  forest  greens.  Other  colours  seen  throughout  his  wardrobe  are  creamy  whites,  neutral  greys  and  matte  blacks.
Most  of  Gonzo’s  clothing  is  cheap  and  easily  replaceable,  but  are  almost  always  ill  fitted.  His  oversized  jerseys,  hoodies,  and  coats  with  all  the  layered  fabrics  tend  to  dwarf  him  and  make  him  appear  smaller  and  younger  than  he  is.

Injuries   working   on   the   forge   were   something   Gonzo   undoubtedly   had   more   experience   with   than   Jane   did,   but   still   her   brow   furrowed   as   she   tried   to   remember   anything   that   Lani   might   have   taught   her   that   would   help.   “You   can   wiggle   all   of   your   fingers,   right?   Nothing’s   broken?”   Nerve   damage,   what   about   nerve   damage,   could   she   even   check   for   that?   Shock   would   cause   things   to   feel   numb   or   at   least   lessen   the   pain,   and   the   ice   would   help   slow   blood   flow   so   that   it   didn’t   swell   up,   but   what   about   dulled   sensation   or   things   setting   crookedly?
“Well,   if   you   really   think   I   could   be   better   help   than   Johnny.”   Applying   a   tilt   to   the   name   the   same   way   that   Gonzo   did,   Jane   ceased   frowning   at   the   ice   encasing   Gonzo’s   had   up   to   the   wrist   and   instead   looked   up   to   offer   him   a   brief   smile.   Being   teased   by   Gonzo   was   a   good   feeling   and   not   only   because   it   was   a   distraction   from   his   injury,   felt   inclusionary   and   Jane   didn’t   feel   the   burning   urge   to   grab   at   any   chance   to   be   useful   and   prove   that   she   could   be   helpful.   
Tumblr media
“You   know,   I   actually   wouldn’t   mind   trying   my   hand   at   something   small   one   day,   but   I’d   hate   to   give   you   competition.”   She   teased   back,   absolutely   certain   that   Gonzo   had   to   be   one   of   the   best   blacksmiths   on   the   Isle   even   if   she   didn’t   have   any   familiarity   with   the   other   Isle   blacksmiths.   “So   what’s   your   pain   level?”
Tumblr media
𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐨  𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝  𝐡𝐢𝐬  𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝  out  of  the  ice  long  enough  to  wiggle  his  fingers,  curling  and  uncurling  his  fingers  carefully,  there  was  tenderness  and  a  little  stiffness  but  nothing  that  felt  like  anything  permanent  or  broken.  ❝  nothing  broken,  ❞  gonzo  assured  as  he  shoved  his  hand  back  into  the  ice,  ❝  it'll  be  fine  in  a  couple  days.  ❞
he  might  even  be  overestimating  how  long  it  would  take  for  the  pain  to  subside  but  he  would  rather  overestimate  than  underestimate.  gonzo  flashed  jane  a  humored  grin,  it  wasn't  johnny's  skill  that  warranted  the  emphasis  to  his  name,  but  his  personality.  he  was  loud,  always  talking,  and  rarely  sitting  still,  something  that  was  likely  to  clash  with  the  way  gonzo  liked  to  work  in  near  silence  for  hours  on  end.
Tumblr media
❝  you'd  be  a  lot  quieter,  ❞  gonzo  teased  when  he  caught  jane's  brief  smile.  his  mouth  dropped  open  comedically  upon  jane's  further  teasing,  ❝  i  knew  it.  this  whole  time,  you've  just  been  out  to  take  my  job,  ❞  gonzo  laughed,  shrugging  dismissively  as  she  asked  him  about  his  pain  level.  she  was  a  quick  study,  from  what  lani  had  said  about  her,  and  she  was  picking  up  how  people  were  quicker  to  answer  honestly  when  they  were  distracted.  ❝  three  out  of  five?  the  ice  is  nice.  give  it  another  ten  minutes  and  it'll  be  numb,  ❞
