A Guide To Dating The Grim Reaper

Summary:

This guide provides useful tips on how to date the reaper of souls, aka the Grim Reaper.

Notes:

These headcanons were requested by a mutual of mine on Tumblr. I wanted to take a unique approach with them by writing them out as tips, as well as having them be written in a way that fits the dark and goofy style of the show's universe, lol. If you have a headcanon or fic request, you can submit it to my blog enchantedchocolatebars. You can also leave requests in the comments as well, if you'd like. Of course, comments, kudos, bookmarks, hits, etc are always greatly appreciated. After posting this, I'll share a Tumblr link to the headcanons. They're already written, by the way. I just need to copy-paste them here and re-read them for mistakes. Enjoy! Tumblr link to headcanons is here.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

• To start, it's not advisable to have a fear of bones. You're interested in dating the Grim Reaper, after all, and that guy is a literal walking and talking skeleton.

• Be sure to enjoy long, romantic strolls through graveyards.

• Dating him solely because of his scythe is not wise and won't lead to a good outcome.

• When going on grim adventures with him, try not to be afraid of the undead and the supernatural.

• The Grim Reaper has a tendency to be very emotional, so it's a good idea to bring a box of tissues on dates.

• Having bad breath, skipping washing your hands, and picking your nose are all things that greatly annoy him, so make sure to avoid doing any of them.

• Make certain to have a grim (get it?) sense of humor. The Grim Reaper is fond of a good laugh, especially when it pertains to mortal souls.

• You'll want to avoid owning a dog for obvious reasons.

• If you have children, it's recommended that you get rid of them. He already has two brats of his own that he has no choice but to deal with. Try selling them (your children if you have any) to a circus or ditching them during a baseball game.

• Despite his status, he has no problem being soft and cute with his significant other. Make sure you're prepared to wear bunny ears while watching his favorite TV shows with him.
