hihi! ty for the ask :) take THREE of elmer hcs >:)
Some Elmer Kasprzak headcanons
I won't be doing sad hcs, as I already did a post with those in it, but here goes!
Elmer has the exact energy of someone who would sleep with the AC on full blast but with mounds and mounds of blankets. I can't describe why.
He obviously wraps himself up in a fucking cocoon, mainly because a lot of the blankets at the Lodge are literally falling apart. He also does this at home, if only out of habit.
Oh yeah, he'd be hell to share any blankets with. Blanket hog. Mush finds this out the hard way.
He sleeps with Paint a lot! Even when he's at home, Paint will come with him. The two of them are basically inseparable, even when sleeping.
Elmer falls asleep way easy. I literally have no idea how he does it, but he's a mad light sleeper and will fall back asleep after waking up pretty easy.
A lot of times during off days, he'll fall asleep while cuddling with Mush, meanwhile Mush is reading one of the books he definitely got legally. It's not Elmer's fault it's warm there.
Elmer is a very friendly person. He's allowed in basically any borough to sell (minus Brooklyn), although he rarely takes the opportunity to do so. He has his little group in Manhattan.
His favorite season is the very tail end of spring. He really likes how the city looks after it just rained, although he hates actual rain.
Paint will sit on his shoulders or inside his selling bag during the day. Sometimes him and the guys he's selling with will race to sell out, just so one of them can carry Paint back in their selling bags.
Paint was the first and only animal that Kloppman allowed in the Lodge. Elmer considers that a high honor, even if Paint doesn't quite understand what the hell that means.
I like to think Elmer is really good with kids! He's bright and bubbly, and so he will help out littles when they first start selling. He understands what it's like to be lost and alone on your first day selling, and so he wants to make it just a little bit easier for the younger kids that are out selling.
His favorite color is green. Again, it reminds him of spring. He's not really sure why spring is his favorite season (outside of rain), although he's sure it has some deep, philosophical meaning.
He bounces a lot when he gets really excited or happy. It's because he has ADHD (stimming), but he will quite literally bounce up and down when he gets real excited.
Okay SO I've done a lot of thinking about this one. I've come to the conclusion that his main friends are also his main selling group. We have Mush, Romeo, and Buttons. Occasionally, Jack will join them. Even less occasionally, Racer will join them, but that's only when he can't make the walk across the bridge.
But that quartet is way close. They've been selling together for years. Usually, they go to this one intersection a few blocks over from Jacobi's, and they all take one street corner. It works pretty well, and Paint obviously helps sell papers.
While Jack and Racer may not usually sell with Elmer, he does consider them close friends. They are the only ones outside of Mush that even know his mother exists. Of course, Mush is the only one who's met her, but the fact that Jack and Racer even know about her is a huge thing.
Elmer is super protective over his friends, although he is the epitome of all bark, no bite. He'll chew someone out, but the moment it turns physical he is out of there.
He's basically friends with everyone, okay. His closest friends are his selling buddies, but he is friends with everyone at that lodge.
He also has friends in other boroughs! It's kind of something that just... happened, but that means that a lot of times, he will be used as a messenger to another borough (when Specs isn't available).
And he's completely okay with that! He has friends in the other boroughs that he doesn't get out to see all that often, and so being a backup messenger is fun a lot of the times.
okay!!! i kinda banged this out while being way sleep deprived, so i apologize if it's indecipherable, but i hope you enjoy!!! i love you :)
