some general headcanons abt ben frm coral island
<3
hes 38 years old, voice headcanon is an early 90s jerry cantrell from alice in chains (ex 1) (ex 2). he's bisexual with no lean eitherway.
on that, before he moved to coral island he played alot of music. he still plays a bit of acoustic guitar just not in public like theo does. he can definitely play me and bobby mcgee for the farmer lol.
i think he was raised by family who were into the countercultural (hippie) movements in the 60s-70s and being raised in that stuck with him.
he moved to the island to get away from a busy city life when he was 35 and he doesnt really visit his family often. he likes farm animals so much be he never got to see many before he moved to coral island.
he traveled a bit when he was younger and visited coral island and felt very connected to it which is why he came back as an adult.
if the farmer gave him crystals from the mines, he'd instantly fall in love. he cant go in himself but he buys crystals from rafael and pablo. this is canon already but he uses them for healing properties. has done tons of research on what crystals are best for what problem.
he loves leaving dorky notes for the farmer, when he lets them sleep in he'll do the farm work and leave them a cute note.
