Douxie headcanons for me by me
1. His love language is physical touch. Hugs all the time, patting the shoulders or heads of his friends, cuddly.
2. Touchstarved tho, because he's seen so many people come and go, so he doesn't usually make friends.
3. 0-60 in terms of friendship, when he wants to be friends with someone. Legit, meet him once and then the next day, with your permission, he's your bestie.
4. He's huge on consent, so even tho he loves physical contact, if you're uncomfortable, he won't invade your space.
5. He's got three jobs, the cafe in the morning, the restaurant in the evenings, and his bookstore is the weekends. He takes the afternoons off to go to whatever classes he's taking at the local college.
6. He loves kids but they also make him sad.
7. He got the plague once and now every time he sees a rat, he blasts it. Then Archie usually eats them.
8. Douxie was at least mildly involved in both world wars, and probably a few others as well.
9. He had periods of time where he just hid for a while before getting back into the world, usually accompanied by a change of location.
10. He's had at least three driver's licenses, and many more official IDs. He keeps the old ones in a scrapbook, and likes to look at them when he's remembering old friends.
11. He's never really changed his name. Somehow, there just happens to be a "Hisirdoux Casperan" in every generation.
12. (There's a wizard in nearly every government and that's how he gets away with it.)
13. He only moved to America post WWII. He felt it was a good time to finally see the new world, since the UK and US were allies at the time and they'd be a little more accepting of his accent at the time.
14. He doesn't quite know how he ended up in Arcadia Oaks but then trolls and magic started popping up and he just was "Uuuuuugggghhhh not this again."
15. The events in Wizards was really the first time he's done anything more than minor with his magic since WWII.
16. Anyway, I think he would adopt pets but he's already had 60 and he gets very sad when yet another one dies.
17. Being immortal is great and all until all your friends, furry or not, die and leave you alone again.
18. He first met Zoe in Massachusetts.
19. But they lost contact for a few decades.
20. He really just wants someone to give him soft affection and love and listen to all his stories without running the other way. He's got a lot of stories. Like the time he helped Shakespeare with Romeo and Juliet, and Shakespeare didn't accept his idea of letting the poor kids live "happily ever after".
tldr: he's been through some shit and really just wants happy times now.
