Propaganda:

Extremely introverted, to the point where living in complete isolation for years was fine by him, as long as his one special person was there with him. Feels no need nor desire for socialization, even if he finds it nice when he does end up in a good company. Would rather stay inside his familiar environment at all times, only willing to go outside if his best friend's life depends on it.

A fast reader, has very good memory, was able to recognize a car he had never seen before just by reading about it in a letter once. Has great sense of direction despite never having been outside his home before, seems to be highly intelligent while struggling significantly in other areas, such as social skills or assertiveness, and being averse to difficult tasks according to one of his character profiles (his intelligence is likely memory-based and not oriented towards practical problem solving).

Very naive and timid, immediately trusts every stranger in his vicinity, easily misunderstands people when they don't explain in detail what they want from him (mistook a stranger clearly soliciting him for a fan asking for an autograph), never assumes anyone to have bad intentions even when he should, unless they make said intentions absolutely clear.

His only interests in life seem to be his best friend and their job in furniture review - he slips into info-dumping about furniture a lot, even when it's probably not very appropriate, and genuinely adores everything that's related to it.

Is very concerned with hygiene, will worry about not having showered in a while or the place he's at lacking a decent bathroom even when he should be concerned with many other things.

Struggles with empathizing with other people's struggles when he himself doesn't share them. Even when he genuinely wants to help, he just doesn't know how to relate, which impacts his relationships negatively.

Seems to have ridiculously high pain tolerance, or just able to ignore his pain and injuries and show no reaction to them for prolonged periods of time (in some cases, the pain could have been numbed by alcohol, but not in all of them).

Dislikes change, becomes stressed out if his routine is disrupted or if someone he's used to having around is no longer in his life. Permanent negative changes can make him go into denial.

Doesn't seem to grasp the concept of personal space, doesn't notice when his personal space is invaded or when he invades someone else's.

Publicly humiliated himself by singing badly on live TV and didn't care, might not even understand that it was humiliating in the first place.

Any other details:

The web series is very obscure and there aren't many pictures from it online, but it can all be accessed on the official website (mindmygap.com), and all the short films (including the one I've screenshotted for the pic) are on YouTube. The series is also very dark and deals with potentially disturbing themes, so viewing discretion is advised.

I wanna draw a small funny comic for Mind My Gap, a Dutch web series that barely anyone ever talks about but holy shit is it worth it, it's basically vintage Homestuck in terms of time and space being fucked up, everyone being doomed by the narrative (the narrative is a guy who is present within the story but even he has no idea what he's doing) and characters never catching a break ever, also the central storyline is essentially two dudes breaking up dramatically and Satan deciding to fuck with them for the lulz, also a Minotaur is there and gore happens and someone shoots a baby mermaid. Absolute cinema.

Anyway, I tried to doodle the protagonists (pre-breakup, lol), the series has 75 different art styles so fuck if I know how they are even supposed to look like, the fuck is a quiff??? The designs aren't finished, expect them to look way different if I ever finish anything, they are my life right now so there's that. I am not letting go. I will draw cute fluffy things with them, get undoomed idiots *writers 5k words of heavy angst instead*.
