pre-thunderbolts robert "bob" reynolds headcanons that aren't flanderizing as "owo soft boy" (cw for drugs, crime, self-harm, abuse, overdose, death, addiction, meth is bad)
prior to running away from home, bob (while high) once snuck into disney world after closure with a few friends to deface the walt disney statue... they were promptly caught and he had to serve a month in county jail
bob has a fondness for puzzles because it was one of the few activities he got to do with his mother growing up where no yelling or fighting happened
he lost many friends to overdose, meth or otherwise; it wasn't enough to make him quit, but he has a habit of keeping narcan on his person because of it
bob used to play guitar in a little garage band called the neonlights, they only had one gig before the band broke up; he continued to play the guitar afterwards and it was one of the few gigs that gave him money after running away from home... the sentry project's super serum erased the callouses from his years of playing
his favorite superhero is the hulk :]
he likes to put sliced strawberries on his pancakes and chocolate syrup so it looks like a face because his mother would do so for him growing up
he despises the nickname 'bobby' because of his dad, but he likes when people call him 'bo' on occasion
he has pain flare ups because of the car accident during middle school and it's partly why he turned to meth after he ran out of his prescription morphine
during his travels after dropping out of high school, he joined a hippie caravan for a few months and learned how to survive off the land but he eventually left the group to score more drugs
about a year before his backpacking journey in malaysia, bob had a girlfriend named lucy; she helped him get sober and employed at alfredo's bail bonds, but ultimately broke up with him after he assaulted a civilian while on meth at work
prior to the serum healing him, bob suffered from malnutrition and skin sores because of his meth usage; during his withdrawals, he had a tendency to scratch at his arms and thighs until they bled
bob has a smiley face tattoo on his left buttcheek... don't ask how that happened, he's still embarrassed
while in malaysia and prior to joining the sentry project, bob found a stray dog that he named lucky and the pair would travel through the country together for a couple of weeks; before he left for the sentry project, he made sure to find someone to take lucky in and struck gold with a family in need of a farm dog
bob's favorite candy is skittles
his favorite song is sally, when the wine runs out
after leaving his abusive households, bob stole a bottle of black nail polish from his mom and would paint his nails as a means to stop nail biting so much
his favorite animal is the shark, he relates to them
