BJ might continue to do sex work once he's free, but I'm making it canon that once he's more stable and has a little more footing, he starts taking dance lessons or joins a dance club. I don't think? he'd want to do that professionally by any stretch bc that would take some of the joy out of it, but I love thinking about how dancing with other people, maybe even chill "competitions" within that club or improving with a dance partner could very much be one of the big things that helps keep him focused and grounded.

He'd get to socialize more outside of work, do something active and fun, learn body confidence, etc. etc.

Painting would still be something he has to do as an outlet for emotions, but dancing would be something he'd really get into when he feels restless. I think he could find community there, and, like, Melanie is great, he loves her, but he needs more than one person.

#support groups and therapy would also probably help him a lot but he's understandably gunshy #considering one of the psychologists who treated him was canonically a past client. bj could not have been fully open with him by default.#AND he knew laws. so. now that i'm thinking about it i can see why his stay in the hospital made him worse.#he probably had to fake and lie through his teeth.#anyway i digress. that's not the point lol.#my point is post canon bj is gonna FLORISH. he can and will and im giddy thinking about his journey.#out of fairy tales [ooc];
