Here's a headcanon for ya! Do you think West get sick?
Honestly, it depends! It all comes down to whether he has Re-Agent in his system or not.
With the introduction of Re-Agent into his system, Herbert can go long periods without sleeping or eating and has accelerated healing accompanied by a fortified immune system and heightened senses. Overall, thanks to the Re-Agent, he's able to scrape by such vicious circumstances, such as the Miskatonic Massacre, with his life intact and a couple of minor scrapes and fractures.
However, after Dan helps ween Herbert off, that's whenever his immune system takes a nose dive. The most common ailments, such as the cold or the flu, hit Herbert like a freight train, leaving him bedridden for days. During these times, he's perhaps the whiniest and clingiest he's ever been; he can't even muster up the energy for a single sly retort to part his lips.
Additionally, during this time, the two end up miraculously bonding.
It doesn't start that way, though—Herbert's overwhelming hubris leads him to refuse Dan's assistance, while Dan grows fed up with Herbert's bullshit. However, as time passes, tensions ease, and the two grow tired of one another. It's during this moment of weariness that Herbert allows tidbits of his past to escape his lips—overall, too weary to keep his skeletons in order.
And what’s Dan’s response, you ask, to his roommate opening himself up like a belly-up frog ready for dissection in a middle school science class? Well, Dan’s there to provide the overdue support Herbert desperately needed…

saw your hc about gruber adopting herbert? do you have anymore regarding herbert's past????
I'm currently working on an abridged version of Herbert's past before the events of Re-Animator. However, one headcanon that quickly became one of my favorites is the idea that Hill knew about Herbert even before he attended Miskatonic University!
Headcanon that Gruber became Herbert's adoptive father after the chemical fire killed his parents. HOWEVER, unable to swallow his pride, Herbert constantly referred to him by his full name or his title, never 'dad', until Gruber's untimely death.
That is until during a heated debate in front of the class about Hill’s plagiarism of Gruber's work, Herbert gets too emotional and, in a moment of vulnerability, slips up by referring to Gruber as "his father," for everyone to hear.

can we get a gif of rufus in the reanimator/earthbound mashup?
Hear me out—Herbert's exceptionally good at art. He’s always carries a small black leather bound sketchbook on him, which is filled to the brim of intricate anatomy studies and diagrams. However, the more time he spends with Dan, the more those sketches start to resemble him. Infact, they're his most detailed works yet!
This ultimately causes West unconsciously knowing every nook and cranny on Cain's body—every freckle, scar, indent, curve, and birthmark.
"What does Meg have to do with this?"
I absolutely love sweet tooth Herbert
Could you imagine? Dan and Herbert go to a local cafe. Dan orders a simple macchiato off of the menu, while Herbert concocts the most sugary drink known to mankind
The long-overdue sequel to an updated version of every time Dan refers to Herbert!!
