and don’t let me bring emily into the mix bc the way she’s one of the most important people to both of them?? matt clearly feels inferior during certain moments and like he has to prove himself as emily’s bf. and jess clearly wants to show that she’s better off without emily who’s below her and prove herself as mike’s gf.

- a baseball cap from the first baseball game his dad took him to as a little boy

- would often beg hannah and beth to come to his games and to play with him in the summer ( + he was very involved in their lives and was the type to show up at parent teacher conferences because it annoyed them lol)

- dvd collections of his favorite movies (mostly horror /his dads films + he has a couple barbie movies because han made him watch them when he was younger)

- chris got him into video games in elementary school but josh eventually found his niche to be ambient horror games

- a sketch of a forest sam was going to throw away but josh couldn’t believe she considered it “bad” and kept it (+ a sketch of him)

- i think the color scheme of his clothing/room is gray, dark blue, umber, evergreen

- a stack of notebooks with storyboard drafts, doodles, prop designs

(he’s never shared them bc he doesn’t think they’re good enough and would rather a have “real” career than indulge in his silly producer dreams hence why he opts to take psychology in college + he thinks it will help him understand himself better since therapy/his healthcare provider have failed him)

- i think he takes halloween so seriously (probably prompts the group to do group costumes) and has a collection of costumes that have amounted over the years that he designed himself. i think it’s one of the earlier manifestations of his love for prop/costume design that he can embrace without feeling self conscious

- matching christmas socks that emily & jess bought for all the guys

- obviously a prankster so he has a bunch of those little toys from when he was younger like the gum that zaps your finger, fake insects, candles that don’t blow out etc

- a crocheted bear that beth made him that he always keeps on his bed

- i think he loves snowboarding (often drags chris to go with him) and has his own gear that he intentionally picked out

- a photo album his mom gave him several years ago of him and his sisters growing up. he forgot about it until he found it at the back of his closet after the twins died :(

- he is so good at deflecting and can mask his emotions very well (i think there can be some wonderful symbolism in josh’s love for costume/mask design and his ability to mask his true feelings to play a part in someone’s story)
