✧ Headcannons - How they handle a partner with BPD ✧

Characters included: Boothill, Kafka, Acheron, Jing Yuan, Aventurine, Dr Ratio, Black Swan

🤠 Boothill 🔫
- He knows what its like to not feel human, so he never underestimates how horrible a split can be
- Even though he never really figured out how to make that feeling go away for himself, he figured the least he could do was be there for you whilst it happened
- He holds you whenever you need it, whether you feel emotionless or upset, angry or manic, he will always stay with you throughout it even if you try to push him away
- When you don't feel like you deserve his love, he will only hold you tighter.
- Smokes with you if you need a cigarette, naps with you if you need to rest, screams with you if you need to scream; he's a serious ride or die and will never judge you for the fragments of your personality that you can't control

💜 Kafka 🕸️
- Was pretty taken aback the first time you split on her
- She always keeps her cool, so she was able to handle the situation pretty well and keep you safe
- It took a while but eventually you were able to explain to her how you feel during your episodes, and now she knows some better ways to help you cope
- Talking with you also helped her understand Blade a little bit more, since he never talks about his episodes with anyone and doesn't let anyone try and help him
- You really appreciate the fact that she never raises her voice at you during your moments of panic, having a rock to lean on makes it much easier to calm yourself down
- You're navigating through it all together, and you're grateful for her and how she always takes care of you

🩸Acheron 💜
- Whenever you dissociate she knows exactly what to say and do, since she struggles with it herself
- You two lean on eachother to cope when you start to feel your control slipping, and that helps the two of you stay in equilibrium most of the time
- You didn't even have to say anything the first time you split, Acheron caught on immediately and helped you cope through it
- She may seem cold but she cares deeply about you, and having someone with similar struggles to her own to talk to makes navigating life with personality disorders a lot less scary for the both of you

🤍 Jing Yuan 🦁
- Your relationship struggled a lot due to your BPD at the start
- Jing Yuan simply didn't understand how you could become so disconnected from yourself, and he was honestly scared by it
- Once the two of you were able to communicate properly and talk it out, you were able to explain that those parts of you that come out during a split don't represent your ideals and morals when you're lucid
- He felt bad for thinking that you were at fault, and made up for it by learning as much about the condition as he could so that he can be there the next time you need him

🦚 Aventurine 🎲
- He is constantly splitting, so it was nothing new to him when he found out you were having an episode
- He laid with you on the bathroom floor whilst you were shaking, stroking your hair and talking to you slowly to help you calm down
- Whenever you split he sees himself in you, and it makes him sad that you have to experience the same pain that he does
- Still, he puts on a brave face every time and prioritises your safety, just like you do for him whenever his personality splits

📚 Dr Ratio ⚜️
- He immediately started speaking to you like a psychologist
- Tried to do breathing exercises with you but that just pissed you off even more
- It took him a while to comprehend the unpredictability of BPD, since he had assumed that it was something that he could simply learn how to help you control
- He wants to fix you but deep down he knows he cant
- He's autistic so he really struggles to read your emotions, so unless you tell him straight up what you need he just either leaves you alone or treats you like a patient rather than a partner
- You guys are slowly getting used to learning how your minds work, and working through that is just bringing you closer to each other

🔮 Black Swan 🦢
- Her presence is really soothing and motherly so she is really helpful to be around when you're having an episode
- You find it harder to be angry or scared around her
- Obviously she has seen your memories and can read you like an open book, shes the only person in the world who can predict your mood swings accurately
- She knows its not always her place to butt in, but if she senses something off about you and you refuse to ask for help, she will reach out to offer her support
