Headcanon

Jim does not have a Daddy kink. In fact he hates his father and would rather not be compared to him -- a reason why he doesn't go by James but by Jim.

He much prefers 'King' if one needs to call him something. 'Boss' is also acceptable, but not very fit for intimate relations. Perhaps 'Master' in rare occasions, but 'King,' he finds, is a lot more personal.

Tell me how you feel about your childhood.

Prompt: For the next hour my Muse can not tell a lie.

"Ohhh~ Hitting below the belt, are you?" He bit back a growl. "In a word? Awful. In two? Awfully pathetic. Mother emotionally detached, father abusive in every sense of the word. Not living up to expectations, being punished because of it. Really, no one could blame me for their deaths. I certainly don’t."

♔♔♔♔♚♚

Prompt: Leave me a ♔ for an IC fact or a ♚ for an OOC fact.

♔ — James enjoys a long soak in a bubble bath just as much as a quick shower. However, he often feels too rushed to pamper himself enough to take a bath. Though he does have a rigorous skin treatment which keeps his skin smooth and pale.

♔ — Jim’s favorite color is green. Though he has been known to be quite fond of blood red too.

♔ — Despite the fact he is dead, James has always, and will always hate his father.

♔ — While his mother forced him to at a young age, Jim has grown rather fond of playing the piano. 

♚ — My favorite color is blue. I’m not quite sure why, but no matter the shade the color always makes me happy and I love looking at it

♚ — I drive a Kia Sportage with a magnet on the back that says ‘my other ride is a Tardis.’ It’s bright blue.

Jim has seen every single one of Richard's shows and sometimes goes back to see multiple performances. It is rare for him to tell Richard he's gone, and he often sits in the back so he won't be seen. He keeps every single playbill, however, in a drawer in his walk in closet.

[For Rich:] Guardian, Loss. [For Jim:] Illusion, Damage.

Prompt: Put a word in my ask and I’ll write a headcanon for it.

Richard

GuardianRichard had a hard time standing up to their parents as a child, Jim often taking the stand, especially against their father. He often relied on his brother for protection. That being said, Richard also has a strong draw towards animals. He rescued a lot of injured animals or strays, keeping them hidden in a tool shed near their house until he could find a safe place where they could go.

LossRichard had one actual “pet” in his childhood was a white canary named Gail. When he was six his father decided it was a suitable punishment to grab Gail out of her cage and squeeze until she snapped. Richard never let an animal near his father again.

          James

IllusionJim lives his life surrounding himself in illusions. He’s good at creating them, being able to convince someone one thing then when they know it’s something completely different. He can put on any mask and make it believable, even fooling the great Sherlock Holmes. James even fools himself, denying any emotions he could possibly feel for someone. He makes himself and everyone else believe he doesn’t have to capacity to feel.

DamageJim is damage. He feels it and he deals it. His skin is blemish free, but he still has plenty of emotional scars, most of which stem from his parents. He was slapped around by his father, taking the heat off of Richard as a child. They were both bullied in school. The emotional detachment from his mother and the emotional abuse from his father eventually caused Jim to crack. His first kill was his father when he was eight.

Headcanon IX

Jim is still young. As a university student, he isn't exactly drowning in wealth. Because of this, it's just as likely that you'll see him in casual clothing (like lounge pants and a t-shirt or jeans and a v-neck) as it is that you'll see him dressed up (his favourite outfit is currently a dark blue waistcoat, a white shirt, a dark blue tie, and jeans). Especially at home or when trying not to be noticed, he tends to prefer comfort over style.

Headcanon I through VIII

Jim can't cook. Not just "it doesn't taste good," but "it's not actually edible." He and his roommates (Ian, Elias, Jacob, Noel, Olivia, and Cassidy) trade off days for making dinner. Ian is the best cook, and even with Ian's assistance, the days that Jim makes dinner usually end in disaster. Jim usually just gets food delivered on these days.

Because Jim got horrendously sick the first few times he made himself food with meat in it, he is now a vegetarian.

When he was fifteen, Jim's mother walked out. This left Jim to bear the brunt of his father's abusive tendencies--from taking out his emotions physically to mental and emotional abuse, Jim bore the brunt of his father's anger in order to protect his brothers, who were only nine and seven at the time. Combined with the bullying at school and the encouragement from Harry, his father's abuse is what drove him toward killing Carl Powers.

There is one thing that really terrifies Jim: thunderstorms. He knows it's childish, but they remind him of his father screaming at him for his whole life. If he hears thunder, it's extremely difficult for Jim to do anything but freeze up.

He loves horror films. They give him ideas for the fantasies he has of killing people who annoy him.

While he is asexual, Jim is aware that he isn't a bad-looking man and is perfectly okay with using sex to get him what he wants.

He actually does like children's television. He enjoys turning it on as background noise when he needs to turn off his mind for a while.

During the month of December, Jim picks twenty-four children at random and tells them the truth about Santa Claus. It's his own private mode of entertainment during the absurdity of the Christmas season. (The Moriarty family never celebrated holidays in the conventional sense--if the boys were lucky, they would be awarded with half an hour of extra play time and extra dinner.)
