FELIX 🗣️‼️

[felix-neumann]

How do you think Is Felix's Alchool tolerance? And when he Is drunk how he Is? I belive that he Is prone to follow his emotion a Little too much and have a few stories of university when he ended up Hugging a friend whit tears

He thinks he’s got good tolerance. He still prefers to keep it to a single drink whenever possible and often nurses the same beer over the course of a night, but when he does get drunk, he gets drunk.

I think it starts with spacing out a little more. Sometimes he’s thinking, sometimes he’s just somewhere else for a bit. And then he gets emotional. Sometimes this means wistful gratitude over all the people in his life; sometimes it means missing people he thought he’d gotten over: and sometimes it means getting into a fight with Adler over disagreements in leadership. There’s a reason he prefers not to drink and it isn’t because it kept him out of trouble.

What kinda videogame do you think Felix would enjoy? :3

Idk why, but thinking of Felix playing cozy games makes my heart melt, but I also feel like somehow he'll have a philosophical tangent about the economy or the society of the cozy game he's playing. I guess that'd be equally as fun.

Just based on the ask I immediately pictured either Disco Elysium or Stardew Valley… Slightly more period appropriate, I think he would’ve played the early point and click games (pacifist route wherever possible). He tried playing the original Fallout but didn’t like that the only way to do anything was to shoot everyone.

He’s a religious collector of old Cold War era games (a la “Space Invaders” or “Hit and Missile”). Hit and Missile had its own physical console situation, which I think he’d appreciate from a mechanical standpoint.

He’d also probably enjoy winning handily at Chess.com against children half a world away.

I'm convinced Felix doesn't know how to sit still and relax without working, since he's done it his whole life, so I imagine that after a day or two of vacation he has to do something mechanical or he'll have a crisis. Do you think that's the case? How would he react if he had to take a break for two months for health reasons?

Yesss, very much so! I think he’s might take up puzzles or some other less strenuous activity that keeps his mind engaged and hands busy. Maybe he’d go further down the photography/videography rabbit hole.

[felix-neumann]

Do you think Felix is allergic to anything?

I think he’s the type to be allergic to something commonplace that he eats regularly. He didn’t know cucumbers weren’t supposed to make your mouth sting until he was thirty. He hasn’t stopped eating them at all

[felix-neumann]

Sorry if I go a bit quiet for the next while! I work in a very rural area over the summer and power/internet access are somewhat limited!

Feel free to keep sending asks, I’ll address them when I can!

Hi in your headcanon Felix's Sister still talk to him? Were She Is now?

I think she had some disagreements with him over his less than legal job choice and left to show him she could make it on her own. She struggles a lot, but she has a brother who’d lay down his work for her in a heartbeat if he thought it would keep her safe, so she keeps his number (a burner number, just for her) and keeps working.

I think she’d want to do the opposite of what he’s doing. Maybe work at a bookstore or laundromat or whatever jobs will take her until she can get into nursing or rebuilding programs. She works to repair the damage her family did on the other side of the wall. She visits fragments of the wall on Felix’s birthday. Sometimes she even calls.

[felix-neumann]

Do you think he'd be a good teacher? He seems like a patient sort that has good knowledge, although I don't know if he's actually good at explaining it.

I think Felix has a habit of forgetting what someone else’s baseline of knowledge is. He is a concept explainer best suited to people already in that field of study. For example, when explaining a computer program, he may reference programming languages, styles, or relevant comparisons that only make sense to people who’ve been at it for a long time. When cooking, he might tell a beginner to julienne carrots or use other technical terms they might not know (or might not have the words for in whatever language he is speaking).

Hi, do you think Felix have some scars?

Most likely! I think a lot of them have faded by now and he doesn’t look at them much, but old cigarette burns or scar tissue around his knuckles might still call the worried attention of a close friend or partner.

[felix-neumann]

Hi 🐱! Do you think Felix cry often? And how he cry? Where?

I don’t think he lets himself. If he has to, he probably either tries to be collected about it or steps away as quietly as he can to cry in the private of his room (or, more securely, down by the water where Sevati’s lock picks won’t reach).

In a super high stress or high emotion situation, I think he’d cry if he or Case were injured. He doesn’t hide it unless he’s embarrassed about it, which he probably wouldn’t be in a life or death situation.

I think he places some degree of emphasis on maintaining a certain perception of him that means he doesn’t like to seem out of control in front of others (or in front of himself).

[felix-neumann]

Do you think he has a hard time sleeping? The occasional insomnia, and he'll just give up on sleeping and get up to tinker with computer and parts?

Absolutely. Nightmares aside, from personal experience, chronic stress and anger issues are…not conducive to regular good nights of sleep. It’s gotten better with time and practice, but lord knows he’s had a lot of bad nights.

[felix-neumann]

This is my first time trying something like this, lamp, hello. Do you think Felix gets turnt off the drank?

I’m afraid I can’t quite parse the question?

Hi, since today is my birthday, I wanted to know what you think Felix would do for his birthday? And if someone threw him a surprise party, would he be happy? (And what would he do when someone sings him the song "Happy Birthday"?)

Happy birthday!

I think as an adult, he doesn’t do a whole lot, except maybe put on a party hat and use his birthday to excuse doing things he wouldn’t normally get away with without consequence. Maybe he steals some of Adler’s tech, actually goes out and spends money, makes someone else cook for a change, or sneaks extra strange ingredients into the soup (“ah, well! It’s my birthday! Geburtstag favors!”).

I think he’d be pleasantly surprised by a surprise party, but only if it’s low-key enough. To a certain point, it’s a sign of peace and love and he’ll take all of that he can get. Off key singing is his favorite part, but he could do with not being the center of attention for a little while. If people are signing to him, he’s singing and clapping along, probably in German. I think he’d be the type to repeat it afterwards in a more traditional style in whichever language he misses hearing the most.

Hi, What are Felix Feelings for his father during the time of the game? Do you think he can talk of him freely or It cant even speack his name?

I think it’s one of those things he only mentions if someone asks (and he responds quickly with a smile, brushes it off). Very rarely, perhaps on a death anniversary or birthday, he might be in a mood to remember and talk more in depth, but it’s rare.

[felix-neumann]

Hi what do you think Felix do After he had a Nightmare? How he Is when he have One? (Sweat,move in his sleep ecc?)

I think he’s a professional adrenaline hater. Adrenaline makes him feel out of control, and nightmares often fill people with adrenaline. I think before he wakes up, the nightmare mostly lives in his facial expressions - twitches, discomfort, maybe flinching - and then he wakes with a start. He’ll run a hand down his face, try to calm his heartbeat, and almost always has to get up and start his day early. He’s really bad at sitting with nightmares and getting a head start on work, cooking, or chores feels like taking a little bit of control back.

[felix-neumann]

What do you think Felix's sexual orientation is? I personally think it's bi or pan.

Or maybe he just haven't thought about it that much since that's not really what he focuses on? Could be asexual as well. 🤔

I’ve always thought vaguely bisexual but demiaroace. I think it takes time for him to love people and it takes time for him to become interested in or comfortable with sex, but it doesn’t matter what gender the person is once he reaches that point.

Hi! Do you think Felix had a romantic relationship and is he still thinking about it? In my headcanon he had feelings for a colleague, Erika, but he always repressed it and now he often thinks about it with melancholy, so I wanted to know if there is something similar in your headcanon.

I write him as having a sort of unspoken relationship with his Stasi friend, the friend that helped smuggle his sister into West Berlin away from the GDR’s control. They don’t define it, but there’s something there beyond a typical friendship. I suppose repression plays a role here, too :)

I do think he had a few dalliances with young women he didn’t really know how to say no to, but nothing serious. Maybe one of them got close enough to be considered a friend, but he had bigger things to worry about. I wouldn’t say he’s an inattentive lover, but I imagine able-bodied twenty-somethings in the Stasi aren’t home with energy to spare very often.

Hi, How do you think was in school? He had many Friends? In his Wiki Fandom bio its sayd that he was good in sposts so what sports do you think he practiced?

Football. I can totally picture him just standing there and idly tapping a ball into the air with his foot, playing little games with himself to see how long he can keep it off the ground.

I think he got along well with his teachers and it let him get away with a lot of things that probably should’ve been lessons to learn from. He probably had a group of boys he wasn’t all too close with. They’d hang out as a group, play sports in whatever open lots they could find, and occasionally have a laugh beating the younger kids at football or near-bullying them for amusement. Again, things that he should’ve learned were wrong but never really got reprimanded for. It’s what the rest of the group found fun, so he found it fun, too.
