Headcanons!

✶ - Youngest out of the freights. Insane youngest sibling energy

✶ - Just a little bit immature

✶ - ADHD

✶ - Built in a testing facility and stayed there until he was about 10, so he didn't exactly have a fun childhood or actual parents before he showed up at the yard and Momma basically adopted him.

✶ - Prone to exploding when he gets super overwhelmed or stressed, but (usually) passes out before that point.

✶ - Very passionate about the environment to a concerning extent.

✶ - Really likes bugs, owns quite a few. Tarantulas, scorpions, millipedes, that kind of stuff.

✶ - Sensory issues, will literally tear his eyes out if he has to hear someone chew with their mouth open.

✶ - Technically just a prototype, so he gets problems and system issues a lot. Almost constantly has something bothering him.

✶ - Owns a lot of stuffed animals, and they all have names.

✶ - As a result of his upbringing, Hydra is absolutely terrified of needles.

✶ - Hydra is German. His accent isn't super thick, but it was borderline incomprehensible when he was a kid because he wasn't fluent in English yet when he left the lab.

✶ - When he first came to the yard, he could barely hold a conversation with Porter because literally neither of them could understand the others accent. Yes it was funny to watch them try to talk.

Will add more as time goes on!

Why this keeps happening, who knows? But Hydra is now...a child. Around the same age he was when he first got to the yard (12.) Absolutely no idea who anyone is, and way too excited about everything. Have fun! (This doesn't apply to threads that are already going!)

HEADCANONS

•.◇ Cryogenic tanker, always feels cold

•.◇ Hydra is very emotionally immature. It's something he's been working on, but he hates how shit he is at regulating his emotions. Half the time he doesn't even realize he's doing it.

•.◇ Autism and ADHD.

•.◇ Big fan of bugs. Owns a couple tarantulas and a scorpion...much to the dismay of the other freights.

•.◇ Terrified of needles. Will downright refuse to have a shot if it's not incredibly necessary, and even that can't happen without a panic attack.

•.◇ Hates having his hair and the back of his neck touched.

•.◇ Originally built in Germany. Has basically lost the accent, but was downright unintelligible when they first got the yard. Think those "no little german boy no!" videos...That's what they sounded like.

•.◇ Very, very passionate about the environment. He writes down the times he sees trees starting to bud every year, and goes on hour long rants about climate change if they bloom too early.

•.◇ Can't properly sleep without this giant stuffed sea turtle named Tim Johnson, a weighted blanket, and some form of white noise. They'll take a 20 minute power nap just about anywhere, but they need all that stuff for a full eight hours.

•.◇ Hydra is huge. They're 6'3 (compared to the other freights, he's actually about 8'8 next to humans), and generally bulky. All that freezer equipment and insulation needs a lot of room. Despite that, he's basically harmless. They let Slick bully them, and he's nearly twice her size.

•.◇ Gets dreams of the Starlight on occasion. It's one of the reasons why he decided to partner with Rusty after the crash.

•.◇ Will FREAK OUT if he gets called by his old lab name, LNG-603

totallyyyyyy not stealing this idea from @/ask-slick and @/thatsmy-role and adding one silly little headcanon for every note this gets because...I have a lot of headcanons

Just to start,

✶ Hydra absolutely cannot stand anything mushy. Applesauce, jello, pudding, he hates it. If he can't chew it, he will not eat it.

✶ Hydra's model number is 603, it's painted on his arms and on the back of his neck, and he will genuinely start crying if he gets called that, or any variation of it.

✶ He sleeps a concerning amount. Standing up half the time too. (hc that the freights can stand sleeping up because it makes sense in my head ok.)

✶ When he was a trainlet, Hydra had a really odd habit of eating baking ingredients. He could not grasp the concept that everything that goes into the good tasting thing does not also taste good.

✶ Hydra hates having his hair and his neck (especially the back of it) touched. He will freak.

✶ Hydra is constantly hungry. He eats like, twice as much as the other freights because he has so much more stuff to power.

✶ Despite being in a relationship, Hydra still has the biggest, fattest, stupidest crush on Rusty. This could be a problem.
