thresher and soot headcanons …
thresher is a HAZARD on the battlefield. he does not care about the actual object of whatever game he’s playing is, he’s going for splats. there’s something intensely satisfying about the BANG of a splatana stamper hitting its mark. he has also mained dualies before and was the bane of EVERYONE’S existence. he will end games with 30 splats on his counter. this does not make him a bad teammate, however. think about the progress you can make when the enemy team is wiped out. now imagine that every like, 45 seconds.
soot is not as energetic. generally, he brings his goober up to a sniping spot, alternates between a few good ones so no one gets at him, and picks people off from the back lines. he is intensely focused but not bloodthirsty. occasionally he’ll play a casual game with a stringer instead and ink some turf.
thresher is cold to the touch and a little clammy (haha) because he’s been sanitized and thus his internal organs aren’t doing all that much.
soot is warm because of the fuzz but a little uncomfortably stiff because he literally grew bones.
thresher experiences regular stinging pains because of the sanitization.
soot has chronic pain and bone density issues.
thresher likes to keep his tentacles long, but needs them out of his face for sensory reasons.
soot could not care less how long his tentacles get. he stabs them into place in a weird sort of bun.
both thresher and soot still have their hypnoshades/goggles. thresher despises them, soot thinks they’re actually pretty cool.
thresher used to cut and fry his tentacles, but since the sanitization they no longer taste very good :(
thresher has extra sharp teeth.
soot’s lockers are meticulously organized. everything in its place.
thresher just tosses a bunch of cool looking stuff unorganized into his locker.
despite their respective body temperatures, soot dresses warm and thresher dresses cool-ish.
