he’s hyperlexic, he learned to read and talk really really young by copying sounds around him (echolalia) and associating them to the written language
he’s trans :((( it’s one of the many reasons he and reg bonded so well in like third / fourth year (in an au where canon is… well… nothing)
has the worst daddy issues on the planet, like idk but if my dad locked me in a freezer every for hours durinf my most vulnerable nights i’d definitely feel the same-
he wears armbands starting third year and Never takes them off, his excuse being “it’s a fashion statement”
lowk needs glasses but will never fucking admit it or get his eyes checked, he's always Squinting while reading and ends up getting headaches
refuses pain meds because he's built tolerance and is afraid to for other meds
his eyes display so much emotion, and they're often covered by his hair (cute little sandy ringlets) the moment he's sad or embarrassed or uncomfortable you can tell by his eyes
so insecure of his scars he's constantly trying to hide them
when he gets the big scars across his face in fourth year, he stops looking at people while talking, he always finds a way to seem busy or distracted, but he just can't get himself to keep looking, he can't let them stare
his hugs were just as warm as those fucking jumpers he always had on. he Hates physical touch, mostly from trauma, but if you're a close friend and manage to get a hug from him you will become an addict.
he will never buy anything his size, always larger. even if he's constantly wearing a binder, he doesn't think its enough. in summer its oversized tees and armbands, in winter its jumpers
so unnecessarily sarcastic it's hilarious. he will Always have a retort ready, count on it
he's constantly biting his lips and making them bleed, and it gets far worse when he's anxious
uses baby perfume (zwitsal) so he always just smells clean and soapy rather than a signature cologne scent (because transphobic parents and he couldn't ever get himself to put on "feminine" scents, he's cry for hours and have to shower, but could never get cologne, so... middle ground)
he drinks his coffee with so much milk and sugar you quesrion if you could even count it as coffee at that point
adores drinking tea before bed, a habit he built after effie woukd make him her chamomile tea for his stomach aches when he’d stay over in the summer, and irs just so much better in the winter
has so many freckles, like everywhere. thehre so concentrated on his shoulders
cant see himself ever ruining a book by bending its pages and breaking the spine (yes he annotates and people think he’s writing down incredibly intellectual things when most his annotations are just him calling characters gay) but is disappointed when his books don’t look worn out when he’s done reading them
is Always wearing socks, you’ll never catch this man without them, and Yes he sleeps in socks
always wearing a million layers, he gets cold so fast irs hilarious
okay that’s enough for now but i coukd go on forvever istg, so sorry for the late response bht thank you for sending something in! <3
