jekyll and hyde headcanons bc I've been neglecting tumblr
i dont have any art to show, but I do have some headcanons :D
📌jekyll has his fuckass loose strand of hair on his forehead in Immitaton of lanyon. When they were in uni, jekyll asked why Lanyon kept a stand of hair loose when it could easily be slicked back. Lanyon revealed that he did it on purpose, because he uses it as a conversation starter. It went something like this:
Jekyll: why is a strand of your hair loose? It looks untidy.
lanyon: i keep it like that on purpose! It's a good conversation starter
Jekyll: what? No it's not.
Lanyon: we're conversing right now, are we not?
And after that interaction, Jekyll started to do the same thing.
📌When Utterson was younger, due to his chronic apathay towards everything, countless physicians failed to diagnose what was wrong with him. (He was AUTISTIC!!!) Answers usually bouncing between melancholia or just being a very well behaved child. His mother tried everything but still couldn't "cure" her son. This led to his mother becoming very depressed.
📌In his youth, Richard Enfield was occasionally sent to live at Gabriel's house as a sort of " emotional support child" for Gabe's mom. Since he was a lively, bubbling child, it brought utterson's mother much comfort caring for a "normal" child. But this also kinda fucked up Richard, because being used as a theraputic coping mechanism for most of his childhood led to him having an overly strong sense of justice, often throwing himself into needless danger for others.
📌lanyon wanted nothing more than to be a musician. But he also knew of his family's financial status would be unable to support this dream. Thankfully, after becoming a successful physician, he was able to play and compose all the music he wants! He also composed all the music that was played at his wedding.
📌Newcomen LOVES animals. He takes in abandoned animals on the street and nurses then to health before releasing them into the wild. He may have a stone cold expression and demeanor, but shove a box of kittens in his arms and he'll fawn over them for hours.
📌Enfield is popular with the ladies. He just doesn't know.
📌jekyll/hyde dont really have a healthy outlet to vent anger. It almost always is a form of violence. Whether it be hurting others or breaking objects or hurting himself, it's never pretty.
📌Utterson had a less than pretty reputation with many university professors. This is only because he would take the blame for anything Jekyll does. Consequently the university professors love Jekyll.
📌Pooles wife tragically died during childbirth, and the baby didn't make it either. He had refused to remarry and sees Jekyll as the son he never had.
Aight thats all I have rn
