thomas brodie-sangster / he/him ——— no way is that DESPERATION ‘DES’ BACHMAN.. they’re a 28-year-old HUMAN notoriously known for being MORBID & DETATCHED but there are some people who have seen them being ANALYTICAL & INQUISITIVE. if you ask me, they remind me a lot of carefully pinning wings to a board, vintage typewriters, sharp blazers and wonky ties, glasses smudged with the horrors and phenomenon of the nights before, and saving an insect from certain death to live another day, but that could just be because they’re considered the FRIEND TO BUGS around town. just keep an eye on them & see if their true colors shine through..

BIOGRAPHY.

tw: death, insects

the oldest of three, desperation was the first to be blessed cursed with a name based on his parents obsession— stephen king. they were weird but many would say des turned out to be just as weird or weirder.

him and his sisters, misery and carrie, grew up in the middle district which felt about right for them. just an average family of average means, with a side of weirdness.

des became intrigued with death and bugs from a young age. it started when he saw a luna moth for the first time and then grew when he saw a dead body feeding bugs.

when he looked more into it he learned how fascinating insects truly were and how they could answer many questions, especially for the environment and in criminal cases.

growing up he was often the loner, made fun of because of his missing of social cues and strange interests. it didn't bother him much, though.

the only exception being when he developed his first crush online on a message board, the person ended up catfishing him for two years and made a joke of him at some upper class senior party. for the rest of his senior year he studied from home to avoid the uptick in bullying but still walked with the rest of the class.

once in college he felt more comfortable, he got his degrees and got a majority of it paid for through scholarships he continuously applied for throughout. he made a few more friends and felt like he could be social more, though still not much.

he ended up getting a prestigious internship with a forensic mortician and learned how to apply his entomologist knowledge to cases both in and out of the city.

now he will sometimes get called to help on specific cases because of his special expertise. he tries to remain close with his siblings who were practically his only friends growing up.

he's attempting to branch out more and be more social but it's still hard for him, he'd rather be pinning a new specimen to a board or working on a new case. but he recognizes it can be good for him to get out more so he's trying.

HEADCANONS.

he can name over twenty thousand species of insects on sight and can often guess the others.

despite being the oldest, he tends to go to his sisters for advice about a lot of things

he was diagnosed as being on the spectrum in grade school, and has had to work to learn certain everyday functions but he does fine now and continues regular therapy sessions to keep it that way

coming soon...
