👾Ali the Alien👾

sometimes he gets extremely hot-headed around happy families to hide his underlying jealousy

when he's drunk enough (assuming he can get drunk), sometimes he'll buy dresses for his daughter only to have another inevitable breakdown after he recovers from his alcoholic ventures

let's face it, during those rough nights, he bangs himself up a little too hard and has to get full body repairs

he does it because he thinks that if he bangs himself up hard enough, if he damages his cyborg body enough, he'll feel something even if he knows that it's a futile attempt

you'll find him in his room on those nights, his body dented and scratched and scuffed, asleep beside bottles of whiskey and a shoe box he kept with him, with pictures inside with his family

he gets so mad that he can't cry that he just bangs his head against the wall, leaving him to have bruises

whenever he coincidentally hears his daughter's name in public, his head whips around to look for the source, only to find that it's a different family calling for their daughter

same goes for the other members of his family

hes scared to go into relationships because he's worried that he'll lose his partner to something, like he lost his family

because his partner will be the only person who can ground him during those rough nights

those nights when all he wants to do is die because that's the only way he could be with his family again

the small touch of his partner's hand on his face always reels him back to earth, and makes him remember that he has a new family now

and they are willing to do whatever it takes to stay with boothill forever

i love boothill
