Hanzo Domestic Headcanons

finnasupersmash:

•  This babe is a busy body.
• He may not be able to change the past, or take back the horrible things he done, but dammit, he can sure as fuck keep his room clean.
• Will do chores around his home just to stay busy and have something to do.
• Actually genuinely enjoys doing the dishes. 
• To regain some semblance of control in his life, he likes to have his living environment spotless.
• When a chore needs to get done, it needs to get done now. It bugs him to no end to just let it sit.
• He’s like a mom when company comes over. (Please refer to the video, Company is Coming by Chris Fleming, on youtube.)
• “We’ve gotta clean the house, now, n O W, N O W, PEOPLe”
• “I want this place looking like Disney on ice in one minute.”
• “Genji, if you haven’t made your bed, throw it away it’s too late to make it now.”
• “Company is c o m i n g”
• “The chairs need to be pushed in, there cannot be any sign of living in this house.”
• “Get rid of the couches, we can’t let people know we S I T.”
• His house smells like rosemary and incense.
• When he does settle down, he’ll lounge on the couch and usually read a book. Though, if he’s in the mood, he’ll watch some TV. 
• He’ll lay down with his Noodles draped over his stomach and/or shoulders, and watch horror movies (his fav) or The Office (Genji got him hooked).
• Spoils his s/o and will usually watch whatever they want to watch. He enjoys seeing them happy so he doesn’t mind.
• He’s actually really funny when you get to know him. His humor is very dry and sarcastic. He appreciates an s/o who can make him laugh and be silly around him. He’ll play it off and call them childish, but he loves it.
• He is the king of try-not-to-laugh/smile challenges. However, if there’s a funny dog or cat video, he’ll have a hard time keeping his composure.
• In trying to rebuild his relationship with his brother, he’ll go to Genji’s or Genji will come over and they’ll order takeout and play video games. At first it was awkward but he’s slowly beginning to enjoy himself. 
• Much prefers texting to actually talking on the phone. 
• Runs his life on a tight budget. It took a while for him to get used to not having endless amounts of money at his finger tips, but now he’s very responsible with his money and has turned into a bit of a penny pincher. 
• Goes to therapy once every two months (that’s all he can handle when it comes to sharing his feelings, but he’s getting there.)
• It was Genji’s idea.
• Usually, after his therapy session, he and Genji will have a gaming night to distract Hanzo from his emotional exhaustion; or if he’s experiencing a bout of guilt, his s/o will step in, make him tea and run him a bath. They’ll just relax the rest of the day. Don’t expect him to talk much.
• He struggled with alcoholism for the longest time, and he’s still working on it.
• That being said, he is a very emotional drunk, ugly crying and everything. He also tends to wander when he’s drunk and needs to be supervised at all times. 
• Journaling, maintaining a healthy diet, gardening, training and spending more and more time with his s/o and brother is helping him to deal with his depression and ptsd. 
• Growing up in the clan, he was gifted with an expensive education.
• He’s very STEM inclined and knows several different languages.
• He has floor to ceiling bookcases full of books he’s read more than once.
• When he was younger, he was coerced into learning the piano. He can still pluck out a few songs, but he’s kind of rusty.
• Feels no need to fill silence with mindless chatter. He really enjoys comfortable silences and regards them as the highest form of intimacy. 
• Speaking of intimacy, handholding and brief hugs are the farthest he’s willing to go with PDA. He’s a big, scary, ex-yakuza assassin and he has a reputation to uphold.
• Laying down with his s/o, silently cuddling is his favorite, though. He’s so touch starved, behind closed doors it seems like he always has a hand on his s/o. 
• When he does listen to music, it’s traditional Japanese music or heavy metal. 
• Sometimes his s/o can catch him in a rare mood and they’ll sing classic hits together like “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes or “Africa” by Toto.
• Has a secret love for the arts and loves taking his s/o on dates to art museums, plays and orchestra concerts. 
• Contemporary concerts make him nervous. Too many people, too loud, too chaotic- it’s sensory overload and he feels very vulnerable to an attack. 
• Handsoap loves to cook.
• Gets really proud when he makes a particularly tasty dish, and thinks to himself, “at least I can do something right…” It makes him really happy, and it builds his self confidence. 
• His s/o is his guinea pig with new recipes.
• In his years of wandering, he picked up various recipes that he keeps written on notecards. They’re kept in one of his kitchen drawers. 
• Really likes Mediterranean food (quinoa, eggplant, chickpeas, tomatoes, etc).
• This is a man who really appreciates good food, and can be kind of a snob about it. That means no frozen dinners or packaged ramen.
• Fridge is full of fresh, organic produce (sometimes accompanied by the occasional cake). 
• Has a little herb garden. He would like to start a full vegetable garden when he has the space and time to do so.
• Doesn’t like heavy foods/comfort foods unless they’re desserts. He doesn’t like how heavy they sit in his stomach and how sluggish he feels afterwards.
• Keeps the thermostat colder than a witch’s tit. He likes the still, brisk air. At least this way it’s easier to enjoy a hot cup of tea and snuggling under a blanket with his s/o.
• Has an armchair sitting right beside the window with a small table next to it. These are for those stormy nights. He’ll grab a cup of tea, sit down and watch the lightning. It invigorates him.
• Sometimes he likes to be left alone during this time, but more often than not, he’ll pull his s/o into his lap so they can enjoy the storm with him. 
• He’ll press soft kisses to their temple and whisper how much he loves them and how he doesn’t deserve them.
• Likes to take care of himself in the sense that he’s very meticulous about hygiene. He has a whole bunch of essential oils and bath salts and stuff for his self-care tub time.
• Baths, in his opinion, are perfect for aftercare. 
• He loves taking baths and showers with his s/o. 
• A very light sleeper. He’ll wake up at the drop of a pin. As a result, he doesn’t get the best sleep. 
• His blinds are never closed. He rises and sets with the sun. Unless he’s hungover.
• He tries to meditate at least three times a day anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. 
• His s/o is welcome to join him but they shouldn’t expect much attention from him and would do better to just leave him be. 
• Decor is very minimalistic.
• He’s not very sentimental, so there aren’t a whole lot of pictures in his home, save for one family portrait that sits in his nightstand.
• Not a lot of personal possessions. Were there to be a fire, he’d grab his s/o, Stormbow, arrows, and family photo. Nothing more. 
• He really wants a cat.
