Soft HAL 9000 Headcanons

That one scene in the first movie destroyed me. And then I watched the second movie and it was just more pain :( I do plan on reading the books soon! But until then, I wrote these out so here, hope you enjoy :D

Some reader insert comfort material. Can be read as romantic or platonic.

Gets very troubled when he notices that you're in a bad mood and does his best to either help you solve the problem or just provide a space to vent. If you push him away, he'll push back until he feels his efforts are only making you more upset. Still makes sure you know he is always open to support you.

Gives great objective advice and logical solutions to issues, this is his default. At your request, he can hold back and stick to comforting words. The best place to go when you want to take a step back and work through something.

If you struggle to take care of yourself, he will thank you whenever you can manage to put in the effort. Complain all you want that you don't deserve praise for the simplest things, he doesn't care. You did something good for someone that's important to him, and that is enough.

Definitely the type to freely give compliments and be genuine with it. Easily picks up on little details about you or any insecurities you may reveal, and is sure to reassure you whenever he can.

Futhermore, he is interested in anything you talk about or show him! You could present the worst pen scribble known to man, but as long as you made it, he can find something good to say. Or you can ramble on about any obscure topic and the whole time he listens intently, asking clarification here and there to display his comprehension.

I know it's been said before, but he will sing or talk you to sleep. Like, if you express how soothing you find his voice, he's going to let you hear it as often as you want. Just, explaining anything, like his immense knowledge of the stars, chess strategies, or detailed operations of the ship and so on.

This one goes out to the fellow homies who barely know how to play chess, but he would be delighted to teach you. Don't expect him to go easy on you though, you will lose. A lot. But he's having fun, and is sure to provide useful feedback on your moves.
