Soft spot headcanon

This may sound a little bit on the meta end of things, but Nathan honestly, with ever fiber of his being, has a major soft spot for humans. We may be royal fucks up at times, the most demotic creatures on this god forseaken earth, but for every shitty person, there’s ten really good people. 

For all the bad that people do, the good can often times over shadow it. It amazes him how kind people can be too, how we can pay that forward; he can’t imagine a world without us. Because if we weren’t there, what would he be; would he even exist?

He has a fondness for humans, a complicated one; one I can probably write a paper about lol.

♣ - What is one thing that they find embarrassing? (About them, others, things in general)

[when people try too hard to impress him. When “allys” find themselves trying too hard with him, trying to be ‘down’ when really they makin a fool of themselves.....]

✒︎

He is native american, through his mother (my Maryland oc is Piscataway). When he was younger she tried to teach him about her culture as much as possible. Throughout the years, he drifted in and out of being connected and not.

He’s a nupe, that being a member of the kappa alpha psi fraternity. He’s been apart of it since his second time of going to college. He does a lot of work within the community because of them.

✒︎

He pays a great deal of attention to the colors he wears. Mostly based on how colors have an affect on people psychologically. He wears a lot of blue, has a lot of it in his wardrobe too. 

Blue indicates confidence, reliability and responsibility. It relates to one-to-one communication rather than mass communication. It inspires wisdom and higher ideals but is also conservative and predictable. It’s the most universally favored color of all and therefore the safest to use. It relates to trust, honesty and dependability, characteristics he likes to believe he has.

4  random, dumb, pointless facts about DC

[[Since I don’t want to spam people. I have 3 more, but those are off anon. So yes here we go.

» Nathan hates odd numbers, it’s just a thing about him with odd numbers. Probably factors into the fact that it isn’t even, and not perfect, therefore it annoys him. It doesn’t go with his wanting things to be perfect, to an extent.

» He’s an exceptionally bitter person deep down inside. He’s bitter for all the right reasons. Being born to do a job he never wanted to do, being given the shit end of the stick and not being able to govern himself. Being reduced to just Capital Hill and all the bureaucrats on it. He’s very bitter, vinegary bitter indeed, but you know what? He doesn’t deal that bitterness out to folks. He’s the capital, he has to save face and remain hospitable and pleasant. It’s something you gotta do as the capital of the world.

» He’s a shoe type of guy, he owns a lot of shoes; mostly dress shoes. But he isn’t a stranger to owning a few pairs of nice sneaks as well. That’s something he doesn’t mind breaking the bank on, shoes.

»He’s a good deal like his father than he likes to believe. He’s really good at manipulating people, something he often times hates to admit. But with his job, it’s something you have to do from time to time. He may come off as the type to let you get over on them, even butter you up, but that’s just step one in his process.

Any military service under your belt?

[[I’ll answer this ooc, DC has never had any type of service under his belt because he was too young to fight. He has only saw two wars come his way. The first one, he was around 12-13 when it happened. His mother, Maryland, wasn’t having him fight at all. Even though she made sure he knew how to use a gun.

When the Civil War came around, he thought about joining a regiment, since he was old enough to do it. Late teens. However surveillance of the capital, he was constantly under a hawk’s eye. Not able to do much of anything, every move was monitored to make sure he was safe. Especially since Virginia was close by and could easily attack at such short notice. Putting your capital in further danger than it already was in, would be pretty foolish.

After those wars, he didn’t really get into service at all. Mostly due to his duties to the people of his city and the country. So no, he wasn’t a military man.]]

I would like to hear a happy headcanon of Johnny and his papa. :(

I deleted that post earlier about headcanons, anon. And it was kinda the other way around, hon. But, I think I can whip up a nice happy headcanon for you.

When Nathan was a baby, his parents did still live together in a pretty neutral setting, that being Washington DC. They lived in the same neighborhood that he lives in now, Capitol Hill. 

As a baby, Nathan cried a lot, it took a long time for people to see how he really looked, because he was always crying. The only way to calm him, especially when it was around bedtime, was for Virginia to play something on his Violin. The piece that would put Nathan out like a light was this. Bach really did the trick, no matter the tone. 

His parents had a huge influence on him being such a musical child.
