Character Headcanons as Things I Do or Have Issues With
(Follow @prancingprongs on TikTok)
While most of my headcanons are based off of aspects of myself, these in particular were apart of my series posted on tiktok.
When Regulus is a bit unfocused or has nothing to focus on he picks at his nails. He picks the ends off more and more because theyâre uneven and then canât function because either heâs picked too far and hurt himself, or (more commonly) just canât stand the feeling of the very tip of his fingers actually coming into contact with surfaces. His long nails from before would prevent that contact.
If heâs not 100% focused he will forget to stay the beginning or end of his sentence out loud. He will either trail off without finishing, or start halfway through his sentence
Regulus has a sugar addiction, but he hides it in lots of different foods. His tea has a normal amount of sugar, his pancakes have a regular amount of syrup, he has a regular amount of sweets each day, and a small desert with every meal. But added together, its a TON of sugar every day.
Sirius walks a little bit diagonally, he doesnât even mean to he just starts walking on the left side of the hallway and ends up on the right, or when walking next to someone ends up bumping into their side a bunch because he just walks on a diagonal while theyâre walking straight and their paths cross at some point.
He forgets to eat. His stomach has hungry windows and if he waits too long heâs not hungry anymore. But he is always doing something and is always too busy to actually sit and eat and so puts it off till heâs done whatever heâs doing but by the time he is done heâs not hungry anymore and ends up going without food for long periods of times (mostly till Peter or James reminds him to eat).
He imitates peopleâs accents without realizing heâs doing it. Sometimes while talking he will slowly slip into an accent that isnât his and itâs hard to notice heâs done it until itâs really strong. When someone with an accent different than his speaks to him he will reply with their accent and people often think heâs making fun of them but he just doesnât know heâs doing it.
Lily got greasy hair really fast. I imagine her with thick hair that needs to be washed often because it produces a ton of oils. Daily showers!
Lily falls asleep everywhere, no matter how awake she is if she lays on something soft she is OUT.
Lily gets headaches almost daily but itâs never enough to make her think she should tell anyone, until it is but she still doesnât for fear someone will ask her when it started and she will have to admit she doesnât know.
He procrastinates for hours and hours and Physically Cannot do homework for days on end (always hands things in late) except for those days where he is so fucking productive itâs unreal. Everything he hasnât handed in and gotten in trouble for is done TO PERFECTION and in no time at all pLus the homework he has then and it baffles the teachers but they recognize this pattern and usually donât give too harsh of punishments when he doesnât hand something in, knowing itâll be coming soon and that he just needs a bit more time.
He is constantly rearranging things. Photo frames, books, furniture he just gets bored of itâs position very quickly and so moves things around a lot.
He canât stop touching his face!!! When he zones out or is thinking really hard or doing anything really heâs always touching his face and has horrible acne because of it.
Remus doesnât pay attention to a lot of things, or rather is trying very hard to multitask all the time and so very often jumbles his words and it takes him a bit to realize he just said âin couch the Padteaâs foot hands onâ rather than âteaâs in Padfoots hands on the couchâ when James asks.
He also ends up doing that thing where he switches the sounds of words and for some reason his mouth wonât fix it like âthe chirds are burpin⌠the chirds are burpin no the chirds are burpin oh my godâ(the birds are chirping)
King of stubbing his toes and walking into things. He canât turn fast enough to avoid corners of walls or tables and ends of hitting his knees toes and hips on things all the time.
James is an early bird. He cannot for the life of him stay up past 11 and if somehow he does, he will be up and awake at 6:30 regardless of how much sleep he got. Â He could and would sleep for 24 hours a day (wouldnât enjoy missing a whole day tho). He says he stayed up late so much before coming to hogwarts that his body is making up for lost sleep.
James canât bake or cook. loves the idea of baking and cooking and will 100% find recipes and begin but 5 minutes in he is distracted and doing something else he just canât do it.
James will cry if something sticky touches him. He can deal with every foul smelling squishy gross thing on the planet but as soon as something is sticky he freaks out.
Dorcas doesnât like the feeling of grass. I think it just feels icky. especially wet grass because her feet get wet but not soaked and so from the time it takes to take another step her foot mostly dries off but not fully and so when her foot touched the grass again it gets wet again and itâs just a vicious cycle of wet, half wet, wet and she hates it.
Dorcas gets really loud when sheâs excited, like obnoxiously loud
Her hands get really smooth when theyâre cold.
Mary sits everywhere. I think she could be anywhere at all and just sit down cross legged on the floor. Waiting in lines, at a party, on the sidewalk, anywhere.
Mary sing/narrates everything she does. Instead of speaking aloud to herself as she does tasks, she sings it.
Mary likes to be squished, she hugs everyone all the time mostly just so they hug her back, and when she lays on couches she piles the cushions onto her, and she likes to sleep in the cold so she can have like 8 thick blankets piled on her, nice and heavy.
Marleneâs muscles twitch. I think she doesnât know why they do that but like she will be laying in bed and her lower back will start twitching, or her eyelid, or her upper arm or thigh. It lasts basically until sheâs got someoneâs attention and they turn to see, then it goes away (of course).
Marlene obsessively makes lists, its like her favourite thing to do. Not for anxiety reasons, just for fun.
Thereâs a lot of foods she doesnât like because sheâs a picky eater but she really wants to like a lot of those foods. Things like cheeses and berries she doesnât like but she thinks theyâre really fun to eat so it makes her really sad that she doesnât like them.
