has a love-hate relationship with rock music. On one hand, it tends to be loud, which is something that she can't tolerate for long periods of time, especially when people play it in public. Concerts are, for sure, a no-go for her. On the other hand, it slaps. The only real way that she could listen to it is if it is played at low volumes on a speaker or lower on headphones.
She rarely listens to music through her headphones since her hearing is so sensitive. Her noise-canceling headphones are mainly used to quiet everything, not to play music.
She has Irish curls, which means that the underside of her hair is curlier/wavier than the topside of her hair. This is one of the main reasons that she keeps her hair in long braids. The weight of the hair keeps it from acting up, and the braids keep her hair from bothering her. It's just easier to manage.
Half Filipino, and you CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!!!! This is me just hard projecting onto this guy, but Aiden is 100% wasian in my eyes, his dad is Filipino, and his mom is white. It’s why he’s so short, OMG WHO SAID THAT :O
Very allergic to fake jewelry, to the point where he breaks out in a rash. Its the only reason he doesn't wear the fun jewelry from stores like HotTopic; else he would be decked out in crappy accessories. The rest found out when he tried to wear a friendship necklace Taylor had given him from Claire's, and his skin turned red and irritated. Taylor felt so bad afterwards, and proceeded to make matching rings with him out of an old spoon handle.
Die-hard FMAB fan!!! One of her friends in middle school introduced it to her because Taylor reminded her of Winry, and she’s been obsessed ever since. She actually went as Winry for Halloween one year, and wants Tyler to pierce her ears like hers.
Taylor was an absolute night owl even before the whole phantom dimension stuff. She’s the type to have just stayed in the garage late into the night working on a project for the mechanics club or one of her metalwork crafts that she would sell on Etsy. She probably doesn’t have a clock in the garage, and the bright white garage light makes her forget that it’s the dead of night. Tyler has probably had to drag her off to bed before they got a noise complaint from a neighbor because she was drilling into metal or something at 1 am.
His personality is very similar to his mother’s pre-grief era. We already see that Marianna has that same bite in EP 80 when talking to Jessica. I feel like if they both got the needed therapy and support, it would be like looking in a mirror. Like they’d have the same dry sense of humor and sarcastic remarks, and they’d both share pet peeves.
He probably has his mother’s laugh as well.
Lowkey has a farmer's tan from being outside and playing baseball. Aiden found out when the gang went to his pool, and then proceeded to poke fun at him for the rest of the day. Tyler then, ever so gently, threw Aiden into the pool.
He has a naturally charismatic personality and is very quick-witted and humorous. However, Logan developed self-esteem issues due to Barron, which caused him to come across as awkward. If Barron hadn't bullied him, Logan would probably have had a solid friend group before the gang formed.
Burns to a crisp in the sun, but then tans afterwards. He made the mistake of not putting on any sunscreen when he was younger and working outside in his grandparents’ garden for a couple of hours. He burned so badly that he blistered, and he couldn’t wear a normal shirt or stand right for a week. At one point, his grandma forgot that he had a burn and touched him on his shoulder. With the way that Logan crumpled and yelled, you would have thought that the boy had been shot. Made his grandpa laugh, though.
Chubby baby and chubby kid. I have never known a guy with Ben’s build that didn’t have a little heft on them when they were younger. I still firmly believe that he still has a softer stomach area; it’s the baby fat.
Physically, it cannot float well in water, much to Ben’s displeasure. It just looks so relaxing to just float unassisted on a body of water, and he just can’t do it. He has tried multiple times in Aiden’s pool, but he always looks like he is on the verge of drowning. Now he just tries to sit on the floor of the pool for as long as he can until he needs air. So far he can hold his breath for a minute and a half.
Just ever so slightly colorblind, and does not realize it. While he does just love his grey shirts, he firmly believes that some of them are blue. He finds out that he’s colorblind when he’s at the store with Logan on one of the gang’s supply runs. Ben, pretty much, holds up a very grey shirt to Logan’s face and says(signs) that it is the same color as his eyes. Logan then has to break the news, and Ben’s world is shaken. Proceeds to ask the entire group if the shirt is blue, and no one says it is.
Emma is approximately 2-3 years older than Mike, and they met during their military service. Specifically, they met when Mike was undergoing basic training and Emma was evaluating his performance. (I have many young Mike and Emma headcanons)
Both of them served in the Army. Emma had been raised in one of those military legacy families, which is how she joined. Mike, on the other hand, joined so that he could afford college.
They'd be supportive if Ashlyn also decided to join the military, but they are both adamant that she not join the army. It was actual hell for both of them. They'd try to steer her towards the air force instead.
