Leaning towards him being Good for obvious character development reasons unless someone would like to see him go full son of Palpatine on everyone. But that will require a LOT of communication given what could result.
Not sure about him wanting to kill himself, not because that stuff is triggery for me or anything but mostly because Maul's survived so much in canon that I can't see him wanting to die by his own hand under any circumstances.
I am very inclined for them to have their love amplified to being over the top (because ride or die is just them) and it would be nice for them to smash back into being super solid in their relationship
Reaper might actually be pushed over the edge and put a ring on that. Hell this might be the first and possibly the only time Reaper could be easily convinced for a blood bond!
I can almost see this like a "waking up in Vegas" thing where after they're clear-headed they're just like ".... What did we......" Spots the ring and handprint. ".......Do?!?!"
God right? they need to catch a break and do something super dumb that will push them through a few barriers that are left. okay that reaper has left because he is stubborn and fearful.
I do love them also then explaining to people that, yes, they are married but no, they don't live together and that suits them just fine as people go ????? trying to figure that one out.
Reaper is going to freak out, probably sulk, realize he's sulking because Maul mentally TELLS HIM and he has to deal with it like an actual adult rather than a dramatic murderhobo. Also, he can't live with Maul because there is a big yellow angry bee with horns already there and he's not moving out XD
The advantage of being mentally linked with Maul is he already has mind powers and can teach Reaper some techniques on how to block some of his thoughts so they don't pick every single thing the other is feeling.
That is one advantage is that Maul can teach how to lock himself out. No one needs to know what Reaper is thinking 24-7; it's enough to drive anyone insane. Reaper is going to be mostly weirded out because he's such a painfully private person even from Maul much of the time.
Yep, Maul feels the same way. His head is not a pleasant place to be. But now they'll always be able to call on each other for backup when facing a threat!
If we do get them hitched/bonded, they should have a thread where they sit down and just explore one another's mind. I feel like it would be very raw and dangerous and emotional for them both. It's hard to be THAT open to another person
Right? That will be the ultimate date and trust exercise that they do with each other. I bet they have a few failed attempts too. One of them just going 'NOPE' and walking away for a bit to sort themselves out then coming back to try again.
Oh definitely. Maul just freaks out and jerks away mentally because this is too much, goes off to meditate for about twenty minutes, and then comes back to try again. And eventually they calm down enough to be able to do it for real.
Reaper probably also walks off at least once, paces around in the yard for some time before returning and they can have another go of it. They are the all-or-nothing sort so once they agree, they'll get it done with only a few walks away to sort themselves out. Then be better for it being so close to each other
They just stubborn their way through most situations when they face adversity. Thankfully most adversity is outside of their relationship, so they just act stubborn with each other to 1) win 2) flirt 3) strengthen their relationship
They're adorable that way. And this will definitely help strengthen their relationship. I love that everyone who knows them is gonna figure this out real quick, at least on Maul's end, since he's gonna have a handprint on his face no matter how light in ends up being in appearance. He suddenly realizes another reason why Reaper wears a mask.....
LOL right? If anything, having a full hand print on Maul's face might warn a few people off of getting too angry with him, since Reaper can be summoned with a thought. Reaper is definitely willing to do the same thing if someone annoys him too much. Like a pair of raptors these two
He is so torn between being all, "Ha! I made Maul back down!" and, "...Reaper talking about trust was absolutely genuine and I hate that it made me feel like I could trust him."
Vettergesic
: Such a lovely pair of deadly raptors, aren't they? Maul dealing with someone who wants to fuck him up and suddenly Reaper appears out of the smoke 'You rang?' They're so much fun to ship together!!!!!
that is totally going to happen. the thread jacking of the future is on the horizon. all because of a month allowing shotgun weddings and bondings lololol
you know it's going to make Luke refuse to back downas he hopes
