@goodboyaudios, your storytelling is genuinely amazing. Every time I see an upcoming video, I get stupidly excited. I love how you layer suspense and mystery, not just into the plot but into the characters and the listener too. Karmor, especially, hits hard.
So yeah. Here’s my mutey.

(What I wrote down, Camera quality sucks)
Age: 24, although being yeeted a century into the future does that make him 124?
Burgers -Especially messy ones. Extra sauce. Comfort food from a life he can’t remember-
Romance Books -The smutter, the better. Slow burns, yearning, tragic endings.-
Teas -Always hot, never iced. Milk + a little sugar-
Fixing small things -Watches & old tech. Gives him control when everything else feels wrong.-
“Old” Earth stuff -History books, movies, outdated music. He hoards nostalgia-
Stargazing -Even on an alien planet. The stars are different, but the act feels… right.-
People watching -Helps him learn how this century works-
Being needed -He won’t admit it-
| Loud, cruel, or dismissive people set him on edge |
| Silence is fine. Isolation is not. | YouRe alWayS alOnE
| Makes everything feel unreal and cold. |
| “Don’t you remember—?” No. He doesn’t. Please stop.. |
| He recognizes his face but feels no attachment. |
| Haha.. very funny he lost his entire life. |
Mildly to severely mentally scrambled. Disorientation, time grief, derealization, survivor’s guilt for a world that no longer exists.
Bonds hard, fast, and dangerously when someone shows consistent kindness.
Reads romance because it promises things he’s scared don’t exist anymore: stability, love, endings that make sense.
Skin picking – Especially at his hands or forearms. Subtle, self-soothing, but leaves him embarrassed
Constantly adjusting clothes or gloves – Small movements to ground himself.
Collects random objects into a box – Ticket stubs, broken circuits, shiny rocks, old tech chips.
Coding / tinkering – Programs small algorithms or hacks for no reason, sometimes just for pattern recognition.
Writes cryptic notes to self – In notebooks. Sometimes reminders, sometimes gibberish he doesn’t understand later.
Avoids eye contact at first – Reads people, not always ready to trust.
Random blackouts – He zones out, body still moving, doing tasks he won’t remember later
Small habits as anchors – Uses tea, fidgeting, or certain music to “pull him back”. Or just going to Hipswitch.
