some of my jesse van horn headcanons because it's pride month and he's my queer icon
pierced nipples. I will not elaborate
he brews beer in his basement because his therapist told him to find a hobby
he lives in a countryside house. the commute to work is brutal but he loves the freedom of being a little isolated from the mess of the city
he's been working in ptmc since he graduated some 15-20 years prior, minus a few years in the middle where he worked in emergency territory services. loved being on the street but he doesn't like taking on responsibilities that big anymore
dana was his mentor when he started and they have a recurring joke that they should've gotten married
he's divorced. married his girlfriend only after a 6 months engagement in his early 20s, they eloped and she got pregnant almost immediately after. she used his time on the street team as an excuse to divorce him and remarried right after, taking sole custody of the daughter. said daughter loves her dad and they have a very buddy kind of relationship, I'd say she's somewhere in her 20s and wanting to pursue a career in arts or music that he's super supportive of
jesse, jack and robby are ride or die best friends. they routinely meet up for drinks and jesse has kissed both of them at some point
I don't even have to say this, he's openly queer but doesn't like labels. he will go to pride with one those "dad hugs" shirts but also wearing some kickass make up that looks a little too good on him
he LOVES his car. he and robby spend afternoons in jesse's garage pimping their rides from time to time
he's been trying to build a little vegetable garden but isn't quite successful as he would like to
he's much smarter than he looks. loves exchanging interesting articles with mohan and discussing them over text
very selective gen-z knowledge because his daughter will fill him in on pop culture on their monthly dinner dates
uses any pronouns but won't fuss about it
partakes in recreational use and will absolutely invite you to join him
always has gum on him. cinnamon is his favorite but he carries mint too to offer others
very intense guy, big feelings, prone to anger
pretty sure I have more so lmk if you want me to keep going!
