Is your character touchy-feely with everyone? Or is personal space a huge deal?
22: Is your character touchy-feely with everyone? Or is personal space a huge deal?
Deadpool is funny when it comes to personal contact, he’s absolutely happy to put his arm around you or throw you into a hug without warning but he’ll do that to disorient you. Deadpool’s affection, his over the top gestures and the way he drapes his arm around you as he talks, it’s all part of his act, it’s his way of making you feel uncomfortable around him. Wade is all about subverting people’s opinions of him, if he plays up to the touchy-feely weirdo who invades your personal space role and people disregard him as a nuisance then that’s a bonus in his head because, when he stabs them in the back at a later date, that’s unexpected and gives him the advantage.
Hypocritically though, if somebody touches him or invades his personal space he gets mad as hell. It’s about control, he hates not being in control. For Wade it takes a lot of work to become genuinely affectionate with somebody so he values what he considers his personal space even if he’ll go out of his way to invade yours.
