we've become echoes

benjy’s kind of an amalgamation of past characters i’ve played that didn’t go anywhere so bear with me as i like, get into the swing of things

about here. wanted . . . someday lmao. messy af pinterest board here. 

born benjymin bc of a spelling error on his birth certificate but he will murder u if u call him anything except benjy!!!! so i highly recommend doing exactly that 

he can be really soft and chill but he will get really intense and angry at the drop of a hat 

just kind of an intense guy overall 

benjy was born to two muggles in a small village in ireland 

they were super religious and conservative

big fans of the whole “children should be seen and not heard” 

benjy did not vibe, as hard as he tried — always wanted to make his parents happy and just never could 

so they did not take it very well when it was discovered that he was a wizard!!! 

doesn’t go home for holidays and dreads going home in the summers 

getting tf out as soon as he’s done at hogwarts even if he’s living in a cardboard box in diagon alley

so like needless to say he never felt like he belonged at home so he was thrilled to come somewhere he could fit in!!! 

except surprise, some people don’t like you when you’re not of magical blood 

it’s kind of hardened him around the edges a little?? he used to brush it off but he’s Tired™ and ready to fight anyone who says shit 

first year he discovered he was a natural on a broom.  became an alternate on the ravenclaw quidditch team in third year. joined the team fully fourth year.  mysteriously quit at the beginning of this school year — has yet to give a straight answer as to why

spoiler alert: he’s not a team player

he’s always been at odds with other players bc of how he wanted to do things 

his ass wholly believed he would be named captain and he wasn’t and he’s pissed

he knows a lot of people think it’s why he quit but he’s not gonna confirm that shit!!!

let people think what they want

also in retrospect, he’s highkey fed up with how quidditch players are treated like gods around the school even tho he misses that treatment 

prides himself on being one of the first in their year to have gotten apparition down eveN THOUGH IT’S USELESS until they’re out of hogwarts!!! fun lil headcanon

his patronus is a fucking buffalo 

backstory: one of the many things i pinned for him is “i was not made to be subtle”

and somehow when i was thinking of his patronus i was like ok i need something big and obnoxious

and buffalo was the first thing on the list of known patronuses to fit that bill so here we are

he’s honestly one of the worst ravenclaws to pass through ravenclaw tower but he wouldn’t have it any other way

all that dumb tumblr shit about ravenclaws having bad grades bc they like learning but not like . . . school stuff???

a million unfinished projects 

hella procrastinator

lazy perfectionist

hella gay.  it’s hard for him to talk about sometimes bc of his family history but he’s working on it. 

total hoe and not ashamed of it 

uhhhhhhh

benjy’s intense sometimes and he gets grumpy and moody very easily but he hates being along more than anything else!!! would rather sit around in angry silence with friends than actually be alone 

he feels very strongly about a lot of things but is really bad at expressing emotions sometimes

he considers himself an optimist bc even though the world is full of shit, he wants it to be less shitty!!!

but he’s really bad at being optimistic!!! damn it benjy!!!

oh and also benjy wants to be a healer!!! we love a man who knows what he wants

uhhh too lazy for wanted connections but some basic shit:

boyfriend 

ex boyfriend

best friends rivaling the marauders

regular friends

enemies!!!!!!
