Tsh Headcanons (the briefest whisper of nsfw)
As a child he’d fantasize about running away over the breakfast table. Milk carton kids weren’t a thing yet, but were they, I imagine he’d be quite enamored with the idea of being one.
Will flip through Rolling Stone, Circus, etc. magazine whenever coming across one in book/grocery stores, or on the rare occasion when buying cigarettes or topping off Henry’s BMW at a gas station. Likes NME or Smash Hits too if he can get his hands on them.
Thought ironically of summer nights sleeping with a portable fan proped in his open bedroom window while lying awake shivering in the warehouse, in that place between sleep and awake he could’ve almost sworn he heard that fan running
Had to learn how to huff cough + Started side sleeping for ease of breathing + His laugh had a rattle in it for months after he recovered from pneumonia.
Keeps a messy journal that he’ll write in for a few days straight before forgetting about it for weeks at a time. He doesn’t code it in Greek or anything but he is very melodramatic and cryptic so if anyone were to read it they wouldn’t get any tea, just lyrical bitching and the odd contextless jotting. I just know instagram notes would hate to see him coming.
U can practically see when a, shall we say, dark thought passes through him cus his eye twitches
Borrows Judy’s Sony Walkman sometimes, she's a social butterfly and keeps herself booked and busy so she doesn't miss it much, he pesters her about getting new tapes, less “chick stuff.”
He's already got a permanent line between his brows from being perpetually posted up with an attitude. From afar, ppl think he's confronatational and aloof (and that suits him just fine) but in actuality he’s just shy or lost in overthinking.
He’s an angry cryer, absolutely hates it when he can’t hold back the tears as he works so hard to curate a carefully constructed image. Not being able to control his emotional responses makes him feel ridiculous and feeble.
Car girl, it was a daddy-daughter hobby when she was a kid + she has an oversized sleepshirt with the Mattel hot wheels logo (from the 80s obvs) on it. She got it from a car show in the valley that had irl cars next to their miniature toy counterpart.
Naturally curly hair pattern, but heat damage keeps it from holding as tight as it otherwise would, but hey, no need to perm
U can find at least three of her scrunchies in Richard’s room at any given time, he picks them up and deposits them back in her room (cus they mess up his vibe and he doesn’t want ppl thinking he has a girl), but they always find their way back. She has a habit of putting her hair up and taking it back down multiple times within the hour, and so, when in her room, her car, or her friend’s rooms, she’s content to throw the scrunchy wherever and leave it where it lies. Likewise if she needs one, all she has to do is look around and chances are there's one within arms reach.
Keeps a scrap book of fabric swatches, sizing notes, sketches, magazine cutouts that were used as references, and playbills from shows she's worked on.
Has a special appreciation for days that are overcast but warm.
Rarely swears but absolutely does not shy away from vulgar topics. Charles is the just the opposite, a real profanitist but oddly coquettish about certain subjects.
She’s got a little watch with a thin brown leather strap and argent metal (she’s a silver girly almost exclusively, being cool toned) that she wears everyday.
Every so often, instead of dinner, she’ll make herself and Charles a charcuterie board to pick at throughout the evening. He likes the fruits: dried apricot, fig, berries, pomegranate seeds, as well as nuts and breads, while she likes the cheese, crackers, meats, and chocolate. They compete for the olives.
A happy drunk, you can tell she’s buzzed by if she’s wearing a perpetual little smile or laughing too easily
Bit jealous of Richard’s friendship w/ Judy, both because she doesn't like share to Richard’s attention and because she begrudgingly finds Judy interesting despite knowing Jude would have nothing to do with her after the spilled drink incident <- some cognitive dissonance there as Cam likes to look down on ppl like her for being “simple” yet finds her open demeanor and magnetic personality compelling (attractive?? question mark?? From a distance that is).
Bralette wearer, has fashion boobs so it’s not like she needs the support + she strikes me as a person who will sleep in panties and nothing else, or panties and Charles’ big sweaters/socks if its cold
If Richard doesn’t pick up the phone on days when Henry knows he’s not out, he might try Judy’s number to see if he’s down the hall at her’s. She hates having to speak to him, and chewed Richard out for giving him her number (even if their exchanges are akin to just “Hello, is he in?” “No.” “Thank you, goodbye.” Or “Yes.” “Will you put him on please?”) but she stays relatively cordial for Richard’s sake. Henry has no idea why she might dislike him, nor does he take notice of it in the first place.
His leg aches when the weather turns + he’s got a compression sleeve for it
Gets motion sick when riding as a passenger on long car rides; too much ambient sensory input. It won’t happen if he’s the driver or if it’s nighttime. If he absolutely has to be a passenger during a long ride, for whatever reason, he’ll take Dramamine to knock out and sleep through as much of it as possible.
When he gets migraines, the aura will be in the left eye, not always, but mostly.
Rapid blinking, flared nostrils, and a thousand yard stare indicate when he’s on the verge of a crash out.
He got the milkshake to share w/ Marion, he was waiting for her in the mess when Charles walked by.
Fucks heavy with zotz candy, made Henry try some one Halloween back when they were roommates, neglected to mention they were fizzy…he didn't like it. Went as far as to spit it out and then brush his teeth for good measure.
He scrunches his nose like a rabbit when he’s pissed. (I’ll never tire of Bunny having rabbit characteristics, no matter how on the nose (ha))
The stomach sleeper to Francis’ back sleeper.
Sneezes loud as hell. It makes Richard jump and gets a side eye from Henry for being disruptive
In the context of looks, implicates Camilla with the usage of an “us” instead of me/I, ie “Ever thought of growing your hair out a bit more?” “No it doesn’t suit us.”
There’s a garden at the old house; when the Greek class visits, he takes the opportunity to pick rosemary and put it in his shampoo bottles (thinning hair runs in the family and he’ll be damned if).
His favorite color is red, but it clashes with ginger hair so he doesn’t get to wear it much :(
He keeps/steals flowers from special events: a bit off a wedding centerpiece, taken from someone’s lapel late in the night, picked from landscaping or flower arrangements, or pieces saved from given/received bouquets, and keeps them in a book of pressings, each page containing a few flowers/petals and labeled with the date of the occasion from which they were taken.
Francis + Cam, enjoyers of big band Jazz
