Valorant Headcannons

Sova headcannons because i love him

GUYS PLS SOVA'S REAL EYE IS BLUE WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK ITS BROWN (i wrote this b4 the sunset cinematic why tf is it brown in that i am so confused)

Sova complains non-fucking-stop when ever it's warm, like the slightest bit of humidity and he will be grumpy all day.

He's too polite to ask Brim not to send him on missions in Bind so whenever he's out there he is miserable.

Whenever he's on missions on icebox he'll throw snowballs at people and then pretend he didn't and no one thinks it's him.

He gives older brother vibes and no i will not be accepting criticism.

Phoenix and Jett annoyed him into teaching them Russian swear words.

Once forgot a word for something in Russian and had a slight identity crisis

Is really really good at braiding hair

Manspreads constantly whenever he sits down

The other agents tease him relentlessly about it

Several of the other agents (including Brimstone) believe he's fought a bear before and he hasn't bothered to correct them

He's a sweetheart most of the time but he can also be a bitch.

Him and Sage have a book club.

Can speak Russian, English and some Turkish (as a result of trying to find Fade) but can understand several Slavic languages.

Refused to take time off when he's sick "in my homeland it was far colder than this and i was never sick" only to act like he's dying later on.

Deadlock sometimes gives him funny looks when she see's him across base and he'll just yell back "It was only a thumb" or "deadlock it was one time" and all the other agents think it's hilarious.

VALO ANGST TIME HUHVOIHJVHPUH

Wrote most of these on my notes app whilst being tossed round a boat omw home

Bitemark (viper x chamber):

Viper being closed off and wary of Chamber only for him to gradually work his way into her heart.

The moment Viper starts to truly trust Chamber she finds out the things he's done and the friends he's taken from her.

Enemies to lover??? no. Enemies and lovers.

Most of my headcannons about them stem from my belief that Viper has issues w/ depression and her mental health (this can be seen in a lot of her voicelines)

Reyge (Reyna x Sage):

wrong time and wrong place. (also immovable object x unstoppable force)

Reyna's long since accepted that her life isn't her own anymore, any humanity she once had slowly being chipped away by the things she's had to do just to survive ("I have lied, beaten, killed to survive. I will kill again and again if it means one more day.").

Hates the part of herself that wants Sage, she feels so guilty about it viewing anything she does for herself as inherently selfish.

Sage wants to help Reyna but she doesn't know how to get through to her.

Cyberowl (Cypher x Sova):

Would sacrifice the world for someone they love x Would sacrifice the one they love for the world

Sova would do whatever it takes to save his earth even if that meant having to let someone he loves be taken from him

Cypher refuses to go through the pain he went through after loosing his family before

Rivals to lovers

Sova see's the worst parts of himself in Cypher (they are incredibly similar imo even though Sova would rather die then admit that)

Sage x Omen:

"it's rotten work" x "not if it's you"

Sage who's willing to do anything to help take away some of Omens pain and Omen who wouldn't wish his suffering onto anyone

Fadeshock (Fade x Neon):

If you show me your hands covered in thorns I will show you my palms ready to bleed.

two people with incredibly destructive abilities trying to find any semblance of control despite knowing that's an impossible ask (control. the gift so many yearn to give you. the one thing you will never have. - neons dossier)

Firewalker (Yoru x Phoenix):

(A lot of my thoughts about them are fully just from how I interpret the characters from the minimal info we're given as well as cultural backgrounds)

SO SO much internalised homophobia, mostly from Yoru but a little bit from Phoenix too.

With Yoru it's more so a cultural thing with Japan being a very conservative country and despite skinship being more accepted thats more so between two women rather then two men.

(Also w/ my headcannon of Yoru being trans being with another man even if it's what makes him happy makes him feel like 'less of a man')

He loves Phoenix but feels wrong about it, like it's something wrong that he's doing.

Phoenix doesn't have as much of a problem with internalised homophobia (mans went to drama school and has two mums come on now) but where he was raised there was a generally toxically masculine environment (fuckin peckham)

fuck being a normal member of society I am going to start rot posting

Sova's eye in canon is brown (cinematics, art, etc) but ingame for whatever reason therye both blue. no idea why

this is heart breaking why would you tell me this

breakfast

More val headcannons because i can

If deadlock isn’t wearing her prosthetic and someone tries to hand her something she goes to grab it with her missing arm

Cue a lot of Norwegian swearing

All the younger agents have weekly K-drama watch party’s

Deadlock was kinda awkward when she first joined the protocol and her way to get around it was to offer people a hand before throwing her prosthetic at them

Breach thought it was hilarious 

Gekko asked Neon where she gets her hair dye and she just went what dye???

Phoenix once ate a small bit of radianite 

Fade slept facedown on the kitchen floor once which almost gave Sage a heart attack

Omen makes a mean hot chocolate

Brimstone likes to use old fashioned (very american) sayings but was forced to stop since Viper told him he was confusing the international agents

Monopoly was banned after Yoru and Phoenix got into a fistfight over it

Raze and Killjoy have lego dates where they just sit and build legos

Sage tried to learn at least a couple words in all of the Asian agents first languages 

Now she teaches Yoru Mandarin in exchange for him teaching her Japanese

Sova refuses to swear in English but swears aggressively in Russian if he so much as stubs his toe

Habor is weirdly good at mario cart

Phoenix once bet he could out drink Sova (he could not)

Chamber drinks the fanciest most expensive cocktails he can get his hands on

 Any agent under 29 has been called a baby at least once

None of the agents really watch sports but during the world cup everyone is so invested

same with Eurovision

I love seeing people look for ppl to play val with LIKE YES PLS I NEED MORE VAL FRIENDS

I love cyberowl as a ship sm!!! Like Sova has such a deep resentment for cypher and his methods and cypher is just like k lol. Also Cypher calling Sova out for having lied on record abt his eye and Sova being all >:/  yOur FiLE iS miSSInG aMiR

Also Cypher being probably servely traumatised to the point where he wont let ppl see his face for fear of them getting hurt and Sova’s just all >:( he’s a sketchy dude i hate him 

they’re so rivals to reluctant friends to lovers

Guys I crave the rot
