Wallmark/wallter and mark headcanons. Feel free to share your own in the comments! :)
This is STUPIDLY long, so ive put all the actual meat of the post under the cut as to not clog up your page
Mannequin_Mark:
•prefers summer over every other season. Definitely has a KICK ASS sweet tea/lemonade recipe. Seems like that typa guy
•probably bites his nails/scratches at his arms or his neck when nervous
•ABSOLUTELY has attachment issues. Dude is incredibly emotional from what ive seen
•favorite smell is probably sawdust or wood laquer or some shit idk (or wallter but shhhhhhhhhh you don’t need to know abt that)
•probably would be a good dad? Maybe?
•touch starved. Give him even the slightest physical contact and he just melts
•gets into awkward situations whenever he interjects into a conversation/talks at the wrong time
•if he had legs he would NEVER be seen wearing anything other than like. Wranglers. Or some other type of high quality jean brand that lasts a real long time without having to get a new pair
•scared shitless of carpenter bees/termites/other wood eating bugs
•likes dogs. Big dogs. Golden retrievers specifically.
• has wooden ball joints that he has to lubricate every once and a while to not get stiff/creaky
•forgets shit sometimes. Like regular food at the grocery store and accidentally just gets a fuck ton of chilli flakes or forgets some tools he needed to buy. Probably forgets dates a lot too
•was probably shamed by the family for having romantic desires (if they even knew about his relationship w/ wallter) bc he didn’t wholly devote himself to the aspen
•has TONS of wood indentations/spots where his wood sinks down a bit due to being chipped/sliced off. I think itd be really fucked up if they had to be rougher with him since oak is tough and it made the gouges worse
•usually has a bit of stubble. Helps him stand out since he wasn’t allowed to have a beard back in the family, it makes him happy
•Probably has a liking for country music. Piano started to grow on him a bit tho (bc of WALLTER!!!!)
•tries not to swear, but get him mad enough and he’ll cuss up a STORM
•Sometimes has absolutely fucking AWFUL nightmares. They sometimes consist of him getting eaten alive by bugs, succumbing to wood rot, etc etc. sometimes they’re so bad he wakes up screaming
•fidgets a lot. Probably has undiagnosed adhd
Wallter Brickstone:
•loves loves LOVES fall
•has nightmares every once and a while where he slowly melts down into liquid concrete. It is recurring and very upsetting for him, but he never dwells on it for too long since he doesn’t like thinking abt it
•sometimes mourns the loss of his old color/body, but shoves those feelings down pretty quickly
•has a lot of cracks all over his body, he used to fill them in with caulk and then paint over it (which mark would sometimes help with- YO WHO SAID THAT), now he just fills them in with wet cement. The deeper the crack the worse the ache
•he and dr retro used to be close friends, but they’ve become somewhat estranged due to his addiction. She still has some lingering feelings of companionship for him, but mostly its just pity and concern now
•was a little bastard sometimes mayb. A little mischievous. Perhaps even… a goober
•can’t see for SHIT anymore. His eyesight wasn’t the best, but now he can’t even see a light post in front of him unless he wears his stupid strong prescription glasses
•hangs out at the places he helped build sometimes to admire his own work. Cocky fucker (mark does it too but to a lesser degree
•also has ball like joints, but they’re a little more stiff/strict (might draw ts later). He has to chip off build ups of gray stuff in his joints now lest he risk getting locked up
•can INSTANTLY tell what type of tea is being served to him by smell and/or taste alone. His favorite is chamomile or something else that generally has a warm and welcoming energy, but he doesn’t drink it that often anymore
•has a special place in his heart for maine coons. Hes canonically a cat guy according to the wiki sooooooo
•probably likes classical piano/1930s stuff. I think he would like the first stage of eateot (everywhere at the end of time).
•doesnt swear. Like. ever.
•likes nature documentaries. Likes history a lot maybe
•usually pretty aloof, and has NO semblance of understanding if someone or spmething is dangerous
•Has sharp teeth. Its somewhat subtle, you may not even notice it - but it is there.
•sometimes has mood swings/outbursts due to the eccles syndro- i mean gray stuff.
•very controlled when he gets nervous/upset, but you’ll be able to tell by his change in breathing in the sense it goes irregular and pauses for too long sometimes. Sometimes his fists will ball up
•used to run into door frames
Wallmark: (the fun part!!)
•whenever mark wakes up from those nightmares, wallter will drum his fingers against his back as he holds him until he calms down
•whenever the other gets sick they prepare each other’s favorite foods/drinks and put on something the other likes to watch. If theyre both sick they both just wallow in misery together
•i like to think mark flusters easily, and wallter would always flirt with him/compliment him just to see him turn that mahogany color he loves so much
•wallter is (or used to be. Fucking gray stuff) a flirt
•back when they first started dating, wallter would offer to pick mark up so he wouldn’t have to walk. He would always decline, until one day he said yes and now anytime wallter asks he says yes in a heartbeat :)
•THEY BOTH REGRET THE DIVORCE. I DONT FUCKING CARE IF ITS STATED IN THE WIKI THAT ONLY MARK STILL HAS FEELINGS. THEY ARE BOTH MISERABLE AND MISS EACHOTHER TO THE POINT OF TEARS BECAUSE I WILL PLAY WITH MY DOLLS HOW I CHOOSE.
•the still have their wedding rings; mark having a palladium ring and wallter having a gold ring.
•they tried to throw out their old wedding photos after they split, but neither of them could bring themselves to do it.
•mark offers to try lifting wallter up. He technically does, but it only lasts about five seconds before he collapses (honestly very impressive given the fact its implied that wallter weighs over 2000 pounds/1 ton)
•wallter loves touching mark. Face, neck, legs, arms, torso, chest, basically anywhere. Mark is enjoying it do NOT save him (little freaks)
•mark sometimes carves wooden sculptures for wallter; some of them being incredibly intricate. He still has them even after the divorce
•wallter would sand mark down and gift him buffers and stuff along with various wood treatments/varnishes and laquers. Basically doing the equivalent of giving him like new sponges razors and soaps and washing him
•wallter used to blush a dark brownish color. Now its just sad and gray and mark is VERY upset about it
•wallter is very touchy with mark and decides when the hug ends. If wallter really didn’t wanna let go Mark could not shove him off even if he tried his absolute damnednest to do so
•mark is also very touchy. He likes falling asleep on wallter’s chest alot (its fucking huge, i cant blame him tbh)
•sometimes mark likes to paint wallter with intricate and fun designs. He wears them with pride until they wear off/mark wants to do it again
•their favorite place to go for food/date nights is woodsmoked diner
