HEADCANON QUESTIONS. ACCEPTING.
what kind of drunk are they?
SOOOOO lovey. touchy!!! it doesn’t matter who someone is to him ( unless he really doesn’t like them ) because he is throwing compliments out like hotcakes. if anyone’s seen the fall guy there’s a particular scene at the hotel reception desk that is spot on but i don’t have a link >:( it’s a lot of ‘you look pretty today. like REALLY pretty. WOW, did you change your hair?’ and twirling strands of it in his fingers. the inhibitions are all gone and almost go to the opposite end of the spectrum where thoughts flow out unbidden. this also means he’s had his fair share of hook ups because while he’s not necessarily deliberately shooting his shot, his attraction is more openly expressed and he’s a good looking guy! so when it’s reciprocated then yeah he’s had his flings and nights at other people’s places.
he also struggles to focus a whole lot more so might stare quite intently while listening to the other person talking and take in absolutely none of it! if this is a partner his staring also comes with its fair share of inappropriate thoughts, which may or may not just get voiced because again, inhibitions? gone!
he doesn’t actually enjoy getting drunk very often for this reason, having quite meticulously crafted a form of self assessment to avoid awkward situations and stay on a fairly consistent level of humour and detachment from people. he will feel very embarrassed in retrospect and either feign a lack of memory or outright apologise profusely depending on the level of the interaction. he also has a very sensitive stomach so if he’s had more than a couple drinks? anyone near him will probably be holding his hair back and dealing with a very sicky ryland.
in terms of what he drinks, he is san francisco born and bred and loves a sweet and fruity cocktail. strawberry daiquiris ( not the frozen kind ) and lemon drop martinis, palomas, and any tiki bar style rum and pineapple mixes are bound to be winners. they’re so tasty it’s dangerous, because he won’t pick up on the alcohol content until it’s too late.
also!!! as a last minute edit, i don’t claim the initial wake - up scene from the movie, ryland does not get sloshed on vodka and the only time alcohol really comes up is during the party/celebration rocky and he have upon successfully breeding the nitrogen resistant taumoeba strain.
ALSO ALSO i keep editing this LOL but definitely a drunk texter/caller. this makes way for some more awkward interactions but alas, the waking up to his phone notifications is a constant dread.
