I don't know if this hc is valid but i imagined that taph hallucinated out telamon as a perfect and better version of him, he can speak and fly, can talk and especially close to Builderman, for 6 months either he keep hallucinating about it to the point his insomnia got so worse that he decided to shoot his throat in order to get telamon out of his eyes after the problem he caused (thats why he muted)
anyways this is inspired by fight club yaya

"And what are you doing up at this time?" Lucanis' accent thick as he spoke. He was always up and about, limiting his sleep to intervals instead of many hours at once. The longer he was asleep the higher chance of Spite taking over. He had a cup of coffee in his head. "It has barely gone 4 in the morning. You should be asleep." He smiled at his roommate.
🌦 « richard madden. cismale. he/him/his. 36. » was that BECK HUDSON walking through the doors of amorelux ? i heard they just moved in to apartment 604 from SALEM, OREGON and work as a fisherman, former marine. they seem staunch & authentic but don’t get on their bad side ! they can be confrontational & temperamental which makes sense since they’re an ARIES. you know they’re home when you see a flash of a deep-rooted frown etched into harsh features, a faint waft of salt water and fish, the pronounced steps of an irregular gait, and loud sounds at all hours of the night.
legitimately, the worst neighbor.
he’ll play loud music or tv at all hours of the day and night, if he’s home. there’s always random sounds or banging going on. why? because insomnia and ptsd can keep him up and active and he’s’ got to do something to exhaust himself. does he care what the neighbor’s think? absolutely not. it could be 2:41am and hudson will be up, his apartment a mess, because he decided now was the time to create a new bench for the kitchen island.
and if you complain? he’ll just be worse, because he’s a petty dick.
as you can imagine, hudson isn’t a peach of a person. he’s rude, uncouth, and extremely bitter. ‘grumpy’ is an understatement. it’s like this man has no joy, or like he’s never heard of a smile. there’s just some black cloud that follows him around and he’s not here to make friends. in fact, he’d rather you just leave him the heck alone. will he leave you alone? hard to say. but nobody ever said he wasn’t a hypocrite.
no, he wasn’t always this way. life started out in what became normal to him, as a military brat. about every two years, they’d be in a new environment, his parents stationed somewhere new. because of this, he never really formed any connections with others and grew to understand the only person he could rely on, was himself. everyone else either got taken away or waved goodbye. he just got sick of thinking maybe this time would be different.
since the military life was already everything he knew, it was only natural he followed in their footsteps. hudson enlisted in the marines and served three tours, each one harder than the last. he barely started the 4th before everything that could go wrong, did. his unit was taken by surprise -- some of the men and women he’d finally had some form of relationship with, were gone. he nearly died, too. people said he was lucky to be alive, and hudson? well, he wasn’t exactly the same anymore. they had to take his left leg from the knee down and it’s been difficult to get over since.
hudson spent over a year in the hospital to recover and go through therapy. physical therapy, as well. he struggled with the memories, with sleepless nights. he struggled to accept himself as he was now, because he couldn’t change it. it was hard not to be resentful and bitter, all the while knowing he was as lucky as they said. he could have died. he’s not proud for the thoughts he’s had. there’s a lot of survivor’s guilt to unpack and yeah, he struggles to talk about that too. because he was never raised to feel like it was okay to be vulnerable.
he moved in here after it opened, as a favor from his father’s wealthy friend. a connection of him knowing someone who felt sorry and wanted to give him a chance to be on his own feet again. since he’s been honorably discharged, hudson has since gotten into the fisherman’s business because it’s hard, physically grueling work. some days, if he’s lucky, he’ll pass out the second he gets home and actually get a few hours sleep. but he definitely pays for it physically. in the past year, his reliance on pain medication has kicked up.
so yeah, he’s open for any and all connections. basically he’s not a very happy man and wears that, obviously. he’s likely going to be moody and rude, but deep down, i promise there is a decent person in there that just takes a lot of patience and digging to get to. ultimately, he’s just struggling to accept everything that’s changed and scared to form attachments because, well, he’s used to losing them and getting the short-end of the stick. very much a pessimist and realist.
would love to have connections with his surrounding neighbors (above and below, too!) where they’re subject to his terrible commotions at all hours of the day. he still goes to physical therapy and the occasional re-fitting for new prosthetics. but you’ll probably spot him at the gym or around the apartments doing something, because he still tries to behave like he can still do it all. even if it comes at risk of himself.

"Sorry its not you. I don't get a lot of sleep." Cullen sat back into his chair in his office in the capitol building. "What can I do for you? I wasn't aware I had a meeting today."
