「 Who is Josh Washington?: I finally decided to post some random headcanons I have that make up Josh's personality and background.
Personality: Josh has always been kind of a dork, but it's not something he's ashamed of or tries to hide. Because of his extremely wealthy family, he's still usually part of the popular kids' circle, even if it's more on the fringes. Leaning into his dorky antics and having a sharp wit when it comes to self-deprecating humor makes it difficult for anyone to bully him. He's fully aware that he's more of a novelty in the popular group, especially because he throws a lot of parties, but he tries not to let it bother him. Thankfully, he has his best friend Chris who means the world to him. As someone who fears isolation and loneliness, that friendship keeps him stable much of the time.
Josh has a raunchy sense of humor, but it's like 80% talk. Though he's by no means a virgin and definitely has a kinky side, he's not getting laid nearly as much as he tries to let on. It's all part of his front to try to fit in with his peers.
His closest friends know that he deals with anxiety, but no one, not even his sisters, know the true extent of his mental illnesses or about his stint at various hospitals. That's a secret that his parents keep tight to maintain their standing in high society.
Family: Communication is difficult for Josh and his parents. Growing up, the appearance of being the perfect family meant everything to Melinda while Bob's main priority was setting up his production company for success. That's not to say that there was no love in the household. The parents love their children tremendously, but they weren't always the best at communicating it. As a kid, Josh and his dad hung out a lot, but as the production company started to take off, Bob had to travel more and more, leaving Josh in a house full of women most of the time.
After the twins disappeared, Bob had a hard time even looking at Josh. The real reason is that Josh reminds him too much of Hannah and Beth, but Josh takes it as a sign that his father blames him. Melinda went into major depression by way of lethargy the year following the disappearance. After the Blackwood night incident, she threw herself into maintaining appearances again and she and Bob travel together a lot. Josh is left on his own a lot and he takes that as a sign that his parents hate him for what happened. The irony is, if they all just sat down and talked things out, they'd see that there's still a lot of love there.
To Josh, Hannah was always the princess who could do no wrong. She was more naive than Beth which made Josh feel very protective over her. They were the siblings that could stay up all night talking about anything and having heart to hearts. Josh knew about her major crush on Mike and would try to deter her, but he didn't understand the extent of the obsession.
Beth and Josh's love language was name calling and insults. They teased each other relentlessly, but there was never malice in it. Though they would get in fights from time to time, Josh also felt protective of her. It just wasn't as outwardly shown because he knew that she could handle herself. 」
