#im big into hendrix rn so john gets that personality trait

[swifty-fox]

do little beasts john and buck have little quirks or ticks that you’ve written or just have imagined? they are both such freaks i wanna know everything about them

I think in terms of quirks and ticks I have those pretty universal to their characters across my AU's.

John tends to play with his mustache when he's stressed or thinking,

Gale counts his breaths when he's angry or upset/stressed.

But maybe some fun facts about them!!

John is a huge Jimi Hendrix fan. It's something he picked up from his mom and he listens to him when he wants to feel at home. Along The Watchtower is his fave song off Electric Ladyland which is also his fave album. Castles Made of Sand/Axis: Bold As Love is a close second tho.

He's always breaking his phone, either on purpose or by accident. Brady wants to strangle him.

He has a bad knee! It aches a lot when it rains or when he carries Gale around for too long

He bleached his hair blonde once and hATED how it looked growing out so never again but man did other people like it

Gale likes scented candles. He always has one burning in his room. he likes woodsy scents or those ones that smell like detergent or linens. Clean scents.

He used to be a pretty frequent smoker well into his religious studies. Its the last thing he gave up before taking his vows but now he chews gum pretty obsessively to deal with it. Cinnamon is his favorite flavor

He's a Ludovico Einaudi Fan. His favorite piece is Nuvole Bianche followed closely by Oltremare.

He has a collection and fascination for libertine erotica like the works of Marquis de Sade, Rimbaud and Foucault. He enjoys exploring the conflict between social morality and the human condition and how it interplayed with religious ideals of the time (and also he's repressed man idk)

He wears contacts!!

He used to have facial hair! He shaved it clean literally a couple days before John and he hook up in church. John was a lil peeved about it
