The Excessively Detailed Headcanon Tumblr Meme
Thoughts on privacy? (Are they a private person, or are they prone to ‘TMI’?)
Brian is in the middle between TMI and keeping to himself. On one hand, he sometimes spills some unpleasant details about what happened during Marble Hornets to people he’s just met. Forget waiting until he knows them better, just tell them he’s dead first thing. On the other hand, he’s not too open to those who prod for details if he doesn’t like them. Friends are one story, suspicious people or strangers are another. He can definitely be pretty self-contained at times, but usually maintains a happy medium.
What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?
Nothing other than lazing around on his couch watching TV. Everything else he does is either not something he particularly enjoys or happens to have some positive outcome in the end. For example, he loves walking his dogs when he feels up to it, and by doing this both him and the dogs get exercise.
What makes them feel guilty?
I’ve gotta be honest, even though Brian’s been through just as much shit as the rest of the MH characters, he’s still a pretty sensitive guy. What he did during the five years he went missing in the woods is and probably always will be a sore topic for him. He never truly wanted to hurt anyone, he just lost control at the wrong time. The point is that he’s vulnerable to people blaming him for this. All someone has to do is remind him of it and he’ll have an almost automatic mood shift.
He also hates letting people down. If he doesn’t meet the needs of someone who’s depending on him for something, he always ends up feeling really bad about it later, no matter how unimportant it is.
