This is a draft i've held on to for like two years, its heavily self indulgent but meh what isn't.. anywasy ethan winters my dead husbandd
- he’d probably have something in the background when sleeping, i’m thinking sorting algorithms. Though on a more serious note he’d probably like soft rock or something for sleep? Maybe just some old tv (late 90’s, early 2000’s type) running in the background
- i feel like before all the trauma of re7 and re8, he’d have a decent sleep schedule, maybe one or two late nights when working but overall normal. After that? It’s a mess honestly. He probably became a light sleeper and has frequent nightmares.
- Having something to hug at night (you, a gifted plushie, or simply a pillow) as well as the noise helps ground him and keep those nightmares away
- he’s probably got a little bit of anxiety at all times, but if you have anxiety similar or6 worse than his, he’d get that ‘anxiety override’ and overcome it just for you
- you don’t wanna tell the waiter/cashier your order? He’ll do it for you. dreading writing an email? He’ll help you!
- you got him a plush for his birthday one year (probably after re7) and it’s a bat (“it’s cute but why a bat?” “Well.. i know how you have nightmares and I want you to feel comforted by it, so I want you to imagine it’s me protecting you..? I don’t know, sorry it’s probably stupid-“ “no, thats- thank you. I’ll treasure it”)
- okay realistically i feel like ethan doesn’t really yell in his everyday life? like maybe he’s a bit louder if getting annoyed but it probably would get to a point of booming (?). On this note, if you’re sensitive to yelling (like I am.. i flinch and get generally hella nervous when someone is yelling) so he’d make sure to try to keep his voice steady even if frustrated or mad because of how it can affect you
- i imagine one time he got like, really frustrated while on a call and noticed how you started hiding/covering your ears while curling up in yourself. He felt so bad likely quickly finishing the call, before tossing his phone somewhere and hugging you
- singing? He probably does it in the car a lot, loves when you join in. [[
