Earnest headcanons and other such things to keep in mind for my version of this dude below yahoo
Things to keep in mind for rp purposes:
• Hes autistic this should be obvious in how I write him (local fella with autism can't make a non-autistic character)
• He's terrible at reading sarcasm but excellent at spotting logical fallacies
• insists hes 'sapiosexual' which translates more accurately into 'bicurious and has been kissing Melvin'. He's like... he likes women physically but he'd be a terrible boyfriend you guys.
• on that note i am fine with OcxCanon to a specific point and would prefer it be discussed beforehand. Most of his popular CanonxCanon ships are also fine but if you're just showing up to accuse him of something be sure the other affected party is cool please.
• is still a perv but y'all I am not going that far into it. I am an adult don't make this uncomfortable for me to do.
• he genuinely loves his friend group. He is very protective of them and that manifests in a lot of like 'mother knows best' controlling mannerisms but there is genuine care behind those actions. If you have an oc who is a nerd please assume he likes your character he would not be resentful of anyone under his wing.
• there's nowhere for his clique to go but up, so if you aren't blatantly rude (or a jock), he will give you a chance. The only other clique leader he truly hates is Ted, everyone else he's willing to work with (russel scares him so Jimmy would have to be an in between)
• he is much kinder one-on-one than he is in front of a crowd, where his ego tends to take over.
• he's very messy exes with Dan. I know at least one of the Dans is on board with this but dont harass people who do not share this headcanon with it.
• Thad is a younger brother figure to him.
• he isn't totally blind without his glasses (and he keeps an extra set) but if you break those things he can still see you just fine and will be unhappy about it.
• his handwriting is impossibly small and neat because he hates wasting paper
• very much interested in the history of radioactive materials and all their applications in war, energy, art, and medicine. He has a collection of uranium glass.
• gets extremely motion sick.
• He's convinced he's immune to peer pressure, yet can be talked into almost anything
• He has a different lecture prepared for each Nerd about "reaching your intellectual potential."
• mom friend preparedness level. He has bandaids, neosporin, hand sanitizer, super glue, Claritin, an extra epi pen, an extra inhaler, ibuprofen, tampons for Beatrice, gauze, fruit snacks, a glasses cleaner microfiber cloth thing, tape, and a mini sewing kit on him.
• He genuinely believes sleep is an inefficient use of time until he goes 36 hours without it and crashes spectacularly.
• He forgets to eat if he's absorbed in a project, but somehow never forgets to hydrate.
