Trying to clean out my drafts, rip me for having so many headcanons.
This is just a small portion of them. Most are just angst tbh.

Faust
- Smol not so innocent lowkey hoe casually developing a love for musicals and really old writing (ie: Hamilton, Romeo & Juliet, etc.) but being so reluctant to admit that he adores it so every time someone brings it up or tries to tease him about it he just gets super offended and denies liking it but in reality he just cannot get enough of it all.
- Living with an older brother is never, easy (speaking from personal experiences here) the teasing seems to follow him everywhere. However one day out of the blue Mephis just comes up with this embarrassing nickname for Faust and would always tease him about it.
- Coping with a family members death is never easy, especially if you were fairly close to that person. No matter how much he tries to mask the sadness insisting that he’s okay, he’s never actually been ‘okay’. Somedays would be worse then others, until he eventually shuts out the whole entire world and goes off on everyone who mentions something about Mephis.
*Bonus: A close friend/family member accidentally calling him by his “forbidden’ nickname that his brother gave him til he eventually completely breaks down and goes off on that person.
- Quiet a long shot here, but I’ve always imagined Faust developing a case of schizophrenia due to his delirious acts of trying to help his dead brother as a child. Idk, this was just something that struck me as something he could possibly have developed.
- Kind of a bonus or add onto the schizophrenia head canon, even though I feel as if the schizophrenia would mainly begin to show during his early to late twenties. I believe that some symptoms seemed to show up earlier in his life, whenever he’s feeling very anxious or worried his leg begins to shake rapidly. A bonus add onto this would be where Faust would have a tendency to talk a lot, the words coming from his mouth not making sense half of the time yet he still talks despite no one being able to understand.
- Letters. This is something that would probably start when he’s around the age of eighteen to nineteen once he becomes aware of his schizophrenia. Every day when he wakes up and before he goes to sleep at night he would always write letters to Mephis despite him not ever being able to read them. They’re mainly used as mini memories for when he gets old and cannot recall anything that happened from his childhood.
- Suits and Ties would probably never really be a thing that either of the boys supported fully, however they would dress nice whenever they had to. A few days before Mephis’s funeral, Faust would probably go out and try and get the nicest suit and tie but would only where it once. After the funeral he’d throw it into the back of his closet most likely labeling it as a “bad memory’’
- Sleep deprivation from staying up late and trying to figure a way to bring his brother back would take a huge toll on him. Faust had never really been labeled as the type of kid to stay up super late, Mephis however was a different story. But once Mephis passed the trait seemed to pass onto him, staying up after twelve some nights he would be found falling asleep in his room on his desk due to sleep deprivation.
Mephis
- It was never truly cleared whether Mephis death was intentional or not, and rumors often spread about it being an intentional suicidal action. However this is not true, it was solely an accident and despite how tough he tries to act he’d most likely admit that he never wanted to leave his family in such a way.
- It’s pretty much clear that Mephis is kind of an asshole, it doesn’t seem that he does this just for the sake of being mean or rude. Due to the brothers parents absence half of there life it may have caused some sense of neglect which led Mephis to his actions.
- Communication has never really been easy for the boy whenever he passed, which leads me to believe that somehow, someway he urged his little brother Faust to use a ouji board to communicate with him the first few times he visited him. However after a few visits Mephis found another way to communicate with his younger brother without putting him in danger.
- Once Mephis discovered this new communication system, he would always go to Faust. It would be something like a secret between the, a thing that only Faust and him share. however if he did need someway to communicate with another living being (ie; a family member, or friend) he would most likely do so. or you know scare the shit out of little kids.
