Au/Headcanon where Glimmer and Bow actually had talked about their feelings for each other but, thinking it was just a phase, promise each other to wait some years to see what happens; if they still do love each other, they had to say it, so that's why Glimmer just says "I love you" (x2) and he says it back so casually
Everyone talks about Bow and Glimmer wearing Angella's ear rings but I'm putting this out there that it's not some spare set but it's actually the set Angella had on because she gave them to the two after they got her out.
sounds like canon to me
I just love this
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀headcanons for my favorite archer!
· Bow wasn't the name his dad gave to him at birth. (This can be because he is trans or because he change it just because)
· He was 16 at the beginning of the series and 19 at the end
· Contrary to popular belief, he has a lot of sisters. Is the main reason why he's baby and drinks respect women juice all day
· He doesn't like bananas. Why? He just... doesn't. Idk
· His first kiss was with a boy (because bi king) and Glimmer was so jealous because she had never kiss anyone.
· He had on and off crushes with Glimmer since they were like 14. He is just really good at hiding his love-feelings
· He really liked Angella. He felt like she was the mom he never had (not that he wanted one, but yk)
· he writes songs. That's it.
· He wears crop tops because one of his sisters started to send him a lot of those (because she also likes using them) so he tried them and LOVED THEM
· He wants many babies because 1) he loves babies and 2) he has a big family so he's used to the big parties and all that
· He makes his own arrows from scratch! He's really good with wood work but he never brings it up
· He eventually gets a piercing for Glimmer, as we know, but he also gets a tattoo to match with Glimmer. They don't tell anyone because Glimmer would have to accept her wings are just tattoos she got without permission.
· He sleeps with A LOT of pillows and stuffed animals. He just likes to feel the bed crowed.
· This in the future leads to him letting his kids sleep with him almost every night.
· Everyone knows Bow before he starts dating officially Glimmer. People recognized him as her best friend before, but then they recognize him from his speech during Horde Prime's attack.
· Micah and him? Best friends. After his first child, each month he takes a day for Micah and his dad's and they just have a dad's day out.
ok but listen up glimbows child wearing glasses bc of lance genetics and if i’m not messing up bow wears it too on that alternative reality/portal thing
YES I LOVE THIS
Bow uses contact lenses so nobody knows he actually needs glasses. Then when eventually their kids start having vision problems Glimmer is like "I mean...I'm daughter of an immortal being which makes me really healthy..."
So he just blames it on Lance because why not.
Maybe he later on starts to use them so his kids don't feel weird using them, and Glimmer LOVES it so he then just uses them
and glimmer ends up having her husband and kids with glasses and they royals are just a bunch of blind cute cinnamon rolls
Honestly when I hear "May I" by Trading Yesterday I just can think of Glimbow and how they (in my head) used to sleep together all the time and stoped when Adora came and after Horde Prime they start doing it again and ugh cute. 🥺💓
* After confessing, they decide to take things slow first. They are trying to figure their feelings out!
* Bow has had many on and off crushes with Glimmer
* When eventually people find out, they are either surprised they are dating or already saw it coming.
* Of both, Bow is who makes Glimmer a blushing mess all the time.
* Glimmer and Bow slept together all the time before Adora came
* Glimmer at first is afraid to tell Micah they're dating, but after seeing their dynamic, she decides to do it
* Because of her self doubt, Bow has to reassure her everytime he is really in love with her and loves her.
* Angella secretly wanted them to eventually date
* Glimmer let's Bow read her diary every week
* Bow once read a page of Glimmer's diary we're she described him as his "knight in shining armor" and he takes that as her first "hint" of romantic love for him
* Bow sneeks in the mornings to Glimmer's room so they can sleep together a couple of hours
Thanks to @mochibunny360 for most of them!
