Hmmm Can I Have Some Headcanons On The Rest Of The Recruitables' Opinions On The Masked Shadow? Like

Hmmm can I have some headcanons on the rest of the recruitables' opinions on the Masked Shadow? Like have they heard of it / can comprehend its existence (??), and what they think of it if they do know? (you don't have to do all of them if it's too many people ofc)

(bc to my knowledge in the canon I don't see the rest of the gang interacting with it and such and it's lowkey driving me crazy LOL)

FOUR (five) PEOPLE!! Because I’m shit at long posts lmao

XARIA AND MONTY

- VERY much dislike it.

- When they first took over Sam’s room, it didn’t get the memo and showed up in there while they were trying to sleep

- Cue two spooked art students rushing out of Sam’s room screaming about something getting in

- Very embarrassed by that incident, neither can look at it without wincing a little at the leftover embarrassment

- Xaria attempted to take it out on it violently, but when she punched the robe it crumpled, then just flattened back into place. No reaction, just the empty expression of its smiling mask staring back at her.

- Both avoid it best they can now.

MORTON

- On the other hand, Morton LOVES it.

- I like to think that, due to the rat cheese thing, that its gifts are not limited only to Sam.

- Unsure of it at first, but the moment it pulled out a shiny trinket for him he was entirely sold.

- Likes to sit near it and tell it about his collection. Silent listener and dude who could yap for hours. Both benefit from this development because Morton no longer needs to find someone willing and the shadow has someone willing to speak to it like a friend.

RAT BABY

- Curious, then scared, then indifferent

- Originally was a lot more interested in it, but baby attention span and the more interesting things happening around the apartment catch its attention way more than the shade in the corner.

- Does like the gifts though, if it motions rat baby over its running up and yipping at the bottom of its robe excitedly

HELLEN

- not fond of it, but willing to tolerate it. The only one it doesn’t gift to because she refuses them each time.

- Doesn’t like how she can’t intimidate it, but also relieved a little? Like, if it becomes aggressive there’s not much she can do in the scary department like she usually can, but it’s nice to look at something and not have it flinch back in response.
