Because I promised to hit Tony with Derek feels...
Before becoming the person he is today, Derek actually was quite the mama's boy! This was a long time ago, mind you, because he did turn into a sick, twisted little boy that liked to squeeze frogs too hard and kill stray cats.
Derek loved his mother. He clung to her and stayed by her side and, honest to god, she was the best thing in his little toddler eyes.
Unnnnnntil she got pregnant and he was no longer "her little boy" or her "baby boy" or any of that crap.
So, yeah, middle child syndrome (though Derek was the second child of many) is probably what caused him to end up the way he is now.
Let's talk about more things, hmm?
Derek likes listening to classical music. This song is one he listens to when he's done with a kill; when he's home and cleaned up and no longer smelling of blood of death.
He also likes a myriad of other genres: hip-hop, rap, country, rock, metal, classic rock, and some pop songs (only one or two).
Derek is a sadomasochist -- though he's a bit more of a sadist.
Derek's favourite book is Lord of The Flies.
He also loves Stephen King.
Derek only started smoking because of Kate -- but he keeps doing it because he loves the way it makes him feel. Plus, cigarettes burn flesh pretty well, so there's that.
Derek kind of hero-worshiped his uncle, Peter.
(Peter, who was the first person to show him a horror movie).
Derek doesn't see himself as a psychopath.
His favourite colour is -- you guessed it! -- red.
Derek doesn't like using guns; in his mind, they're too messy and you have to have a permit. When you don't need one for a kitchen or hunting knife.
Also, you can be traced back to guns; knives are pretty common.
And if you haven't guessed it, his favourite directors are Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino.
Derek may kill people but he doesn't enjoy hearing about someone else getting murdered -- especially when it comes to children. For some reason, he actually likes children (and not in that way, you perv!).
So, no, he could never kill a child.
(Not on purpose, though. I mean, he did burn his house down while several children were inside).
Derek's a sexual person and doesn't see gender. He sees bodies, warm and soft and sweet. Then he pictures them bloody and he wants them, whether they have a vagina or a dick.
He can actually cook; just prefers not to.
He collects knives and trophies from all of his kills.
Sometimes he even gets off to touching them (especially the hoodie he took from Stiles; the beanie he stole from Isaac's room).
I'll think of more one day.
