Drop some Franco Barbi headcanons and my life is yours
OHHH MY GOD i love you /p. okay. okay.
- has apnea, so he's not able to be fully sedated by the personnel in favor of him not fucking dying
- lowkey also asthmatic. i think he'd have eosinophilic asthma. i'm projecting here and i know his labored breathing is canonically most likely due to his pfeiffer's syndrome, but i like to imagine he also has asthma on top of that. undiagnosed of course so he's lowkey dying soon
- actually cares a LOOOTTTT about keeping himself clean / well-groomed however he can because it is the one aspect of his appearance he feels like he can have more control over. he also regularly cleans lupara in this same sentiment, and cleans the teeth he extracts from reagents and expop before loading them into her
- flinches whenever he sees reagents raise a brick or bottle to throw it his way because it reminds him for a second of his dad abusing him. however, he is quickly comforted by the fact that he has a shotgun and they do not, so they cannot hurt him
- has genuine dreams of settling down with a woman and starting a family, even if he'd never admit it. this also comes from both a place of wanting to stick it to his dad (show him he's not "too ugly" to be genuinely loved) and a final plea to earn his father's respect. despite the fact that he in some ways despises salvatore, he also wants nothing more than his approval.
- catholic; no problem being plenty irreverent, but keeps a rosary in his "quarters" and wears a cross necklace underneath his dress shirt... for times when he needs extra divine reassurance.
- before murkoff, he would attempt to be in some ways chivalrous to women (of course, not the sex workers he paid) in an effort to show people that he was more than his appearance. he would come off very sweet if you did not know otherwise.
- 1000% has undiagnosed bpd. a million percent, even. as for his subtype, i know he isn't discouraged but i struggle to settle on one or two of the other three. i think symptoms he shows can fit into all three of them (impulsive, petulant, self-destructive). intense fear of abandonment which causes violent behavior because he's gone without treatment or a healthy outlet for so long.
- with relation to the previous bullet, he has absolutely no idea who he'd be or what he'd do if he wasn't born into mafia operations. if the question was posed to him, he'd get uncomfortable and likely start to dissociate or deflect. he doesn't like thinking about the life he could have had any more than how much he already dwells on it constantly within his own head. however, considering the great amount of nautical-themed items within the project lupara catalogue, i like to think that two things he'd quite enjoy are fishing and sailing. if he had a partner, he'd show them his fresh catches with all the joy of a young child showing their mother a drawing they made for her.
- blames himself and his perceived ugliness for his mother's death. this was only exemplified by salvatore's abuse towards him. i also like to think that he looks a LOT like his mother (blond hair, big blue doe eyes) which only makes salvatore hate him more. poor boy.
