what is home to robin? what does he do to calm down? has ever killed, and if he has he ever felt guilty about? how does he survive, and what does he love? is there anyone he admires? fully loathes? what does he think of himself? sweet or sour, chocolate or fruit candy? ice cream in a cone or in a a bowl? real name or fake name?
let’s out of the longest ‘yeah boi ’ ever & rubs my gay hands together. alright let’s do this. //
the city but specifically harlem. he was born & raised here. he’s most comfortable on his home street, where people know his name—-where he’d somebody.
what does he do to calm down?
depends on how stressed but usually some combination of smoking, eating something unhealthy & watching some old television. not that he’d tell anyone about it but robin has a fondness for old sci-fi movies, he finds it funny to think about how people of the past envisioned the future. he likes to disappear into worlds powered by nuclear power or steam, of underwater cities or hovercars.
has he ever killed, and if he has ever guilty about it?
he has. & he’s never felt guilty about it. in fact, he’s prideful that he’s never been convicted over it. it felt in that moment he became a man.
well as right now, work for lucian. the side hustle progressive became a main hustle & found dealing less necessary. he still does the latter because he’s been involved too long & rather not arise suspicious about his new source of income to just to stop but finds that money is just used for leisure.
he doesn’t really love people, with the expectation of his mom though their relationship never allowed to truly deepen considering the woman had been working two jobs much of his childhood & became distant once he began spending more time on the streets rather than home. he loves his block, feeling a sense of pride even if it’s small. this particular square of city feels undeniable his.
his mother. he still has a soft spot for his first mentor damien though the man doesn’t hold the almost mythic space in his mind as he once did as a child. he has a fondness for all the old italian gangsters. his celebrity ideal is obviously tpac.
what does he fully loath?
nypd, since they are the closest extension of the american government which he doesn’t particularly care for. considering their intense presence in his life through the overpolicing on his neighborhood, he channels all of his frustration with his oppression to them. probably his station in life & the seeming unescapablity of it. he feels rather caged to his circumstance & even if he was luckily & managed to escape the hood as often put, he knows it will always be marker on him---shown in how he talked, how he acted, that he could never truly hope to be more.
what does he think of himself?
the thing is robin doesn’t really think of himself. he thinks for himself, selfishly but he doesn’t really sit back & think about himself. he wouldn’t call himself self loathing or at least not consciously so, he finds that he’s jaded to himself as much as he’s jaded towards everyone else. he supposes that he is normal & he isn’t grandous to have any deeper ambitions. he lives day to day, not really dwelling on anything deeper about himself. as far as he is concerned he merely exists, around hoodrat destined to struggle & met some untimely anynoumous end.
sweet or sour? chocolate or fruit candy?
ice cream in a cone or a bowl?
ice cream in a cone especially if that cone has a chocolate casing.
fake name though at this point he considers robin more of his name than derrick.
