: ♥︎ : summary /exploring Colby Frey's hobbies.
Colby gives off the kind of vibe where he’s into understanding someone’s mindset. So I feel like when someone casually says in public, let’s say their friends or in astronomy class, “Oh, I’m a Pisces and you?”
I feel like Colby would label that person in his head as ‘emotional’. But, he portrays it with wry scepticism through body language. Maybe a roll to his eyes or he scoffs mentally. Given the fact that Pisces are often emotional. (Yes, I’m a pisces, let me roast myself.)
But deep down, he’s fascinated about people who infatuate themselves with zodiac signs and use it as part of their personality. Why? Well, people that often latch themselves onto zodiac signs can be seen as a form of self expression. Similar to poetry. 
Back on a collaboration post with skrewtiny about Fischer. I mentioned how he would’ve been a gamer.
Weird, I know! Hear me out on this :’)
He would lean towards games that suit his personality more. Stuff like Omori, sky: children of the light, or this could be seen as bit of a stretch but little nightmares. (All 3!). Games that focus visually more on atmosphere, emotion, and story rather than your typical mainstream competitive games.
In a way, that actually reflects colby’s character. He’s the type to think deeply about choices, like whether to talk to the mc or not, because he’s scared it might affect his relationship with his brother. That kind of emotional, story-driven focus fits him perfectly.
He definitely leans toward something like Cigarettes After Sex or Gracie Abrams, he just has that sad pretty boy energy. The kind of boy who listens to slow, visually appealing songs where the lyrics weigh on you. And honestly, I can completely picture him having a collection of CD’s or even a record player, not because he’s pretentious, but because he likes the aesthetic ritual of it.
So, would this make him be the type to replay a song and listen to certain lyrics? Yes. It’ll be similar in a sense where other people recite and read poetry until it sticks into thier brain.
Colby absolutely strikes me as someone who loves staring out of the train window on the way to Hogwarts or on the way back home, especially when it’s raining. There’s something genuinely therapeutic about it for him, the rhythmic movement of the carriage, the soft tapping of the rain hitting against the window. I like to think that he also unconsciously puts anyone that is talking around him simply as background noise.
And the lighting in the carriage during the evening only adds to it (bonus points if it’s the mid of November and it’s dark out by 4pm).
He expresses himself through scrapbooking. I like to think it plays well into Herbology too. If he sees a flower he likes, he’ll tuck it into whatever book he’s reading and preserves it. And I like to think he documents his surroundings in notebooks as well, like keeping a cinema ticket, or the packaging or wrappers from the Hogwarts Express trolley. Even the jellybeans. He’d flatten the wrapper, jotting down his thoughts on the page, finally trying the sweets wizards and witches kept talking about.
And with flowers around Hogwarts (particularly the green house), I feel like he’d also label them like how flower botanist do aka the names of the flower, where he found them, what type of flower it is, etc.
