Here are a few character facts/trivia/headcanons! Lmao
-
Chile isn't the only one who's dead in a different timeline (or technically later in the timeline for him, maybe? Either way-)!
In my original timeline, Skylar's actually dead as well! It's actually what ended up finally driving Kage and James apart. Don't get me wrong, James was still a complete asshole, but he was less physical in the original timeline, more emotionally and mentally abusive, and, just like in this timeline, it was pretty much all aimed at Skylar. In the original timeline, Sky had enough and ended it. When Kage and James found him, James immediately started blaming Kage while Kage managed to deal with it for about a week before leaving James behind and completely cutting contact with him. That's why, in Kage's original form, his biggest fear is falling in love. He doesn't want a repeat :)
-
Ingall had a very stable home life before the death of his family. He had an older brother who was like his best friend and two parents who were very present in his life. When they died, everything kind of collapsed in on itself and Gall was left with a lot of self-blame about the whole thing, especially since the only person he had to fall back on was Amar.
-
Maya's hatred of her voice originates from pretty severe bullying as a child.
-
Maya and Ingall are actually fairly close. May reminds Ingall a lot of his older brother and, on occasion, he'll go to Maya and ask her to do his hair, something that his brother also used to do.
-
The biggest sign of trust you can get from Ingall is him coming in and just sitting with you silently. No matter where you are or what you're doing. It means that he's calm enough around you that he doesn't feel the need to try to control the environment around him when around you or try to convince you that he's good enough. That, and letting you touch him. He typically cringes at the idea of being touched unless he's sure you're clean, but if he trusts you enough, he'll let you touch him either way because he trusts that you wouldn't hurt him in any way.
-
Skylar and Kage don't argue very much, but, when they do, it's typically about a trauma subject. Especially on trauma dates, actually. Also, their arguments are never good.
-
(After they start dating) Ingall often cleans up after Garvin, washing his clothes and picking up trash and things Garvin’s left around. For the most part, he does this to give his partner a more comfortable living space, though some of it also has to do with his own comfort.
-
Ingall has extra cash stashed in case of an emergency at all times. The majority of the time, he’ll end up giving most of it to Chile to help get Clio what she needs.
-
Akira gives off an insane amount of body heat. Like, he’s practically a fucking oven. Despite this, though, he’s always freezing and constantly wearing warm clothes to keep warm, even in summer.
-
Kage’s smoking habit was picked up from James. For a while, Sky tried to get him to stop, but at this point, he’s just given up trying.
-
Maya will do pretty much anything to get her friends to smile, especially Clio and Ingall. Even if it’s something completely ridiculous, she’s willing to humiliate herself to see them happy.
-
Agnar tends to have little slumps where his normal happy persona just drops. It doesn’t happen too often, but when it does it’s pretty hard to get him out of it, and they typically last a couple of weeks to a month. He becomes more clingy, less perceptive, loses his appetite, and just kind of stops caring about anything and everything. Depression’s fun like that :)
-
Okay, so we have the “hating on Ingall club,” but, hear me out, Ingall, Maya, Clio, Chile, Aries, and Oculi definitely have a club as well. It’s not official or anything, but they just kind of group up as the rest of the group (the chaotic ones plus Devy) go off and do their own thing, and it often turns into the most wholesome atmosphere ever. Like, sometimes Gall will play his flute and May and whoever else wants to will dance, sometimes they’ll do art, sometimes they’ll watch a movie and do eachothers hair/makeup, and sometimes they just chill and talk.
