🖊+ I wanna know all about our boi Nick :’) any favorite artists? Aesthetic/style headcanons? If he’s a sexual person? Anything, my friend 💕

A little about me for Mr. Nick Calder:

Aesthetic: Grease Monkey. Wife beaters and levi's, sometimes coveralls. No jewelry on the hands or arms, because of the nature of the job, but ears pierced. Hair always a mess or covered by a cap. Sun kissed skin, hands of a working man. Easy smile, the town mechanic. Favorite Artist: Severini or Degas. Nick has always been big into charcoal drawings. He's even sketched a photo or two himsel.

Favorite music style: Big band. Nick's mother was from the south, and Big band was something she played often, so it stuck with him.

Sexuality: Nick hasn't had much experience outside of flings. Navigating relationships outside of true friendship is hard with the example that was set for him. Love turns into leaving. And sex is just a gateway to something deeper. For Nick to give any of himself over, mental or physical, is a big deal.

nick sorrentino + adhd ( reposted from my old blog )

nick has had adhd since childhood; when he was a young boy, it presented mostly as hyperactive. he talked a lot, moved a lot, butted into conversations. he was bullied by some of the other young pack.

he didn’t do too greatly with school. since he went to a fancy-ass private school, it was likely the teachers noticed something and potentially brought it up to is parental guardian, who in the human world was his GRANDFATHER, Dominic Sorrentino. However, Dominic is a very traditional man, who also didn’t like the suggestion of sending nick to a doctor ( werewolves don’t get involved with human doctors. ) so he likely came up with a lie that everything was sorted and the school went along with it. He didn’t tell Nick about it. If he told Antonio, he would have said that it wasn’t anything to worry about and he had it sorted. But there’s also a good chance he didn’t tell Antonio.

During high-school, Nick struggled academically. He didn’t fail any classes, but came close to some. Dominic didn’t care, as he didn’t think schooling was that major of a thing anyway. Most Sorrentino’s only had a high school education, and college wasn’t something Nick was aiming for anyway. However, Nick did care about what his peers thought of him. He liked to be liked, and when people didn’t like him, he tried to make himself even more likable. This was a big issue during his teenage years. As he grew older, he grew out of it - but he still cares about other peoples opinions of him, even if he knows he shouldn’t.

As an adult, ADHD affects him more inattentive. He’s still hyperactive but that is displayed in a different way than as a kid. He gets bored of projects easily, and doesn’t really focus as much as he could on some tasks (which is partly why many of his business start-ups fail.) Of course, when he gets onto something that he REALLY wants to do and enjoys, he excels at it. It just so happens that Business related things are not that. (and graphic design is. he saw the customer website for his fathers company, and was appalled. he worked on a better version in an allnighter and absolutely hyperfocused on it, and suggested it to his father.) Though he is still is easily distracted and can forget things. And when he does, and it’s important things - he’s VERY harsh on himself. In Framed, he forgot to take these two business contacts out for a lunch (which he absolutely was dealing with a bigger issue) and when his father called him to ask what’s up, Nick reacted like this after the phone conversation:

God, he couldn’t believe he’d done that. He didn’t even want to imagine what Antonio was thinking right now. Shaking his head, seeing Nick backsliding, all the hopes he’d built up in the last couple of years, seeing his son finally growing up and playing a role Trying not to feel a pang of disappointment. Telling himself it was a one-time slip … and knowing it almost certainly wasn’t. Nick reverting to being Nick. As immature and unreliable as ever.  

there’s a lot to go into how he thinks antonio is thinking of him, but that’s a headcanon for a different time lol. he sees himself as unreliable. immature. and no matter how hard he tries, he’ll never change. this ofc is not true. he doesn’t know that his brain is working against him. that it’s not his fault. he doesn’t know about his ADHD, his executive dysfunction, hyperfocus, rejection sensitive dysphoria. And once he does know, things start just going “oh - huh.” for him. which is relatable.

[otherwoofsarch]

sometimes i think about how that while antonio wasn’t a perfect father, he did his best and nick knows this. antonio was also very young himself, and antonio’s father took over most of the parenting role for nick. while the do have some issues that should probably be worked out (instead of pretending they don’t exist so they don’t upset the other) they still have a pretty healthy father/son dynamic and i just freaking love them

pride headcanons !

@moonsymbols​ said​:  How did they react to discovering their own identity? / for nick!

     Nick reacted pretty well. It was something he worked out in highschool and basically went “oh, cool.” At the time he did stay in the closet, but that was mainly due to the fact that at the time his pack ( led by his old fashioned grandfather, and populated with a lot of the Santos family ) was pretty homophobic. He was already being bullied by the Santos boys, he figured he wouldn’t give them more ammunition. However, he did tell his dad, Antonio. He knew Antonio would be cool with it ( cos he was secretly dating jeremy and nick could see that ) and probably casually dated a few guys throughout highschool.

     Once Jeremy was Alpha, and the homophobic assholes weren’t in the pack anymore, Nick fully exited the closet and lived his best Bi life. And yes, this involved making many not-straight puns.

👻👀📥🖋📊🧠💭🌈[Been Here Too Long (Trying To Get Along)]

Oh boy starting off strong! Thank you :)

So

👻 What is one WIP you think you may never pick back up?

The fact that that happens is why I never post incomplete work, the guilt would kill me, even if I've finished some up years after dropping them. So looking over the ones on pause right now I think, sadly, it's the one AU I have where Birdflash broke up in their early twenties but turmoil in Wally's life pushes them back together and past the issues that made them break up. Namely, Wally being emotionally unavailable due to his personal history...

Not autobiographical at all!

👀 Do you have any WIPs that you would never let see the light of day? If yes, what are they about?

I don't know if they count as WIPs as such, but just very adolescent attempts at novels and such. I mean it's work I had to put in and looking back and realizing how much further ahead you are but. Yikes. They're all kind of clumsy reskins of popular media too. Other than that no, I don't think there's anything in my draft folder I wouldn't publish if I ever took it up again.

📥 What is your fave fic to receive comments/messages on?

Fics without any comments! I still think about the one (1) comment on this one https://archiveofourown.org/works/14839766 which had been up for six years at that point. You can always make a writer's day by being the first.

🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.

Going by the fic you chose, have one from one of the NickxZiggy ones on my stove at present:

Ziggy’s probably the first. The only. Good Sunnyvale girls don’t, but Ziggy wasn’t either.

📊 Current number of WIPs

So there's 59 files in my WIP folder, but some of those are not fics directly but "mother" documents to organize others. I'd say I'm usually actively working on around 16 of them, give or take...

(Hence why I joke that some are on the stove, some in the fridge, and some in the icebox)

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

Something something, Ash Z's Daniel Buckley character from Four Stars is the 911 Daniel Buckley something something relevant military connections bc he's a doctor at Walter Reed or something (I googled and they have civilian doctors bc this Daniel wouldn't be able to be a soldier) something something family strife and reunion?

💭 What is a headcanon you have about your own work?

I'm not 100% what this question is getting at. I'm guessing it's suplementary info to the fics that aren't in them? Like imagined backstory I'm building on and so forth. So I guess the ones I get most use of lately are: Nick has only ever had relations with Ziggy, if at all. His mom died young after a long depression induced and maintained by Joseph under suspicious circumstances (aka Nick always wondered if Joseph did it directly). And in the latest ones: Zach also hit on Robert Langdon and made it awkward and per the show's implication, his dad was a shit dude in that continuity and died when Robert was young leaving a lot of unresolved issues. Which I'm trying to shove to the surface in a fic.

🌈 What inspired you to write Been Here Too Long (Trying To Get Along)?

A few things came together. First, that for some reason I enjoy making characters uh, "fly solo" in order to further character study *and* what and how they feel for other characters. I've used that tag three times now. The other that Nick was a fascinating guy and I wanted to get into his head and study him like a bug. When the reveal hit in Part 3 I was like "wtf makes this guy tick to make him do what he's done?" including the crimes and the note and such. The last was: I wanted to play around with the Pact as a semi-sentient "living" thing in his head. That voice that he hears directly. Add to that I wanted to explain why he might want to target the mall teens and that's the stew that produced it.

             nick has undiagnosed (and he’s also unaware of it) ADHD

nick sorrentino + adhd

like many people with adhd, nick has had it since childhood. when he was a young boy, it presented mostly as hyperactive. he talked a lot, moved a lot, butted into conversations. he was bullied by some of the other young pack.

[otherwoofsarch]

       nick will almost exclusively refer to his father by ‘tonio’. he calls him ‘dad’ sometimes, but mostly in private moments. nick has called him tonio since he was a child. since tonio was a teenager when he had nick, and werewolves have slow aging, tonio doesn’t look old enough to have a fully adult son. in the human world they go by uncle and nephew.

in my ‘alpha of the alphas’ verse i have for jeremy ( where basically he’s an authority figure that pack alphas can go to when they’re having troubles and want some advice. or someone they can go to when two or more alpha’s are having a dispute and want a non-biased 3rd party to help them settle it, and so on and so forth ) nick is an alpha of his own little pack and i love it <3

[otherwoofsarch]

I should be sleeping but instead I'm thinking about nick and his relationship with the boys (the 4 werewolves he 'adopted') and how with them he finally feels like he has an important role in the pack , and he loves them so so very much, and they love him and I just cry
