Stiles Stilinski Personal Headcanons and Canon Facts
(Copy pasted from my notes app.)
Learned to cook and clean after his mother died
He’s a flaming bisexual. The definition of bi panic. He didn’t know he liked boys until season 4
He and Scott kissed once as “practice for girls”
Never has good dreams anymore. They’re either nightmares or just black
Was unofficially diagnosed with PTSD by Morrell after season 2. Symptoms only worsened over time
His dad couldn’t look at him for a week after Claudia’s funeral because he looks so much like her. He was borderline negligent for a month until he got into the pace of child rearing. Things got a bit better after that
Compulsively counts his fingers. Sometimes he genuinely thinks he’s dreaming or still being tormented in his mind.
He’ll stare off into space and hear the voices of every person that’s tried to hurt him
After Deaton poisoned the Nogitsune and took Stiles home, his dad walked in on him about to kill himself. The conversation that followed is what led to him being committed to Eichen House
Speaks fluent Polish
Has read every book on profiling and law enforcement that his dad has in the house
Learned how to pick locks and has a copy of everyone’s keys
Has talked himself out of handcuffs at least once
For about a month after the Nogitsune, he couldn’t look anyone in the eye and was extremely quiet. He quietly apologized to everyone separately. Still can’t even fully look at Chris for more than a few seconds.
Eichen House called the police when the Nogitsune escaped because he was still a minor in their care that left the ward without formal checkout from his legal guardian.
He was sent back to Eichen House and they had to do another medical checkup on him since he left the building. He had to spend another 5 days or so in the institution, during which he was formally diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and C-PTSD
Has contemplated committing/passively thinks about it.
Works out every now and then to stay fit but isn’t at all obsessive about it like the other guys. He’s too busy reading Wikipedia lmao
^ He doesn’t eat enough to gain any weight (ADHD-scrambled hunger signals) and he can’t keep his training on any kind of schedule so he just works out when he remembers to
His favorite color is blue
He wears Scott’s clothes sometimes
He’s a decent artist but it isn’t a hobby
His clue boards just sit in the middle of his room most of the time, taking up space
His wall is absolutely covered in thumbtack holes
He keeps a picture of him and Scott in his bedside drawer in case he forgets him
His base core temperature now runs colder and he can’t keep never get warm enough. He wears sweaters jackets in summer (this makes his dad very concerned)
His body always feels slightly off. He permanently lives with a dull ache all over and is always slightly nauseous when he stands up. Doctors can’t figure out why
He looks in the mirror sometimes and tries to find evidence that he’s still human since the Nogitsune forced him into a different body. Slight body dysmorphia
He gets nightmares about watching his original body crack and turn to dust
Animals can sense that something is off about him
He got a dream catcher to hang over his bed
He reads about folklore and mythology to prepare for the next villain of the week
He hates Mcdonald’s because it makes him feel more nauseous than he already always does
He gets frequent headaches
Starts wearing his dads jackets after season 3
He keeps some of his moms jewelry in a small box in his dresser
Can tell you every state law of California, but is still not afraid to do what he has to in order to protect the pack
He falls asleep on Scott’s shoulder
His dad has drilled gun safety into his head since he could walk
He’s a halfway decent shot. Nowhere close to Allison or Argent, but he’s at least capable of making a chest shot
After repeatedly having a gun shoved in his face, they make him slightly uncomfortable
His mother attempted to drown him in the bathtub when he was 9 because she thought he was a demon
He has a very high tolerance for electricity. It’s one of the many remnants of being possessed by a Kitsune
Was constantly fighting the Nogitsune while possessed. When Chris pulled the gun on him, it was Stiles who was genuinely begging him to pull the trigger. The Nogitsune only let him say it because of the irony in the situation
Lights flicker slightly when he gets royally pissed off. His emotional state affects his Jeep
He finds bugs creepy
His dad still calls him Mischief when he’s really tired and drunk
While possessed, his consciousness was split between the present of what his body was doing and the psychological torture in his mind
Could see some of the Nogitsune’s memories while they were merged after escaping Eichen. Could also see some of the memories of the past hosts.
When he and the Nogitsune split, he felt shattered and his mind felt empty with only one consciousness.
He only joined lacrosse because of Scott. Would secretly rather be on the swim team.
Can be pretty decent at lacrosse once he finds a rhythm. His social anxiety makes it difficult to focus on just the ball and not the pressure to perform well.
Training to become a druid/emissary under Deaton. Deaton lets him read all his books.
He’s permanently connected with the telluric currents, ley lines, and the nemeton since his substitute sacrifice and because his new body is made from Kitsune magic
Can read Japanese and slightly speak it (his tongue isn’t used to it)
His hair is always greasy because he runs his hand through it as a nervous habit. He never combs it.
Has bad days where the pain is worse, especially in his chest
Keeps Rhys’s jacket in the back of his closet
Has partial hearing loss in his left ear from Lydia’s scream
The weres can never tell if he’s lying because of his heart rate because he takes Adderall
Has faded white Lichtenberg Figures on his left shoulder and neck
The Nogitsune never ate or slept while possessing Stiles, leaving his body to fall further and further into disrepair from sleep deprivation and starvation
^His lowered heart rate and low glucose is what made him so pale.
^He lost 10 pounds during that week
Had a tiny fracture in his knuckle from when he punched the jeep. Scott took the pain away so he never knew
His dad checks his Adderall bottle every week to make sure he’s taking it and not overdosing
Reads dictionaries just so he can come up with more creative insults
The scar from Donovan on his right shoulder is ugly and raised and it bothers him when things rub against it
Basically invented trust issues
Gerard broke his cheek bone when he beat him up. His nose bled and Gerard also bruised his ribs
Gerard was going to kill him, but decided against it last minute since he didn’t want to deal with the body
Addicted to caffeine
Cut his palm on Kira’s sword when he was about to kill himself
Since his new body is a clone created by the Nogitsune, he’s missing random marks and scars that the Nogitsune didn’t care to recreate/didn’t know about.
After everything with the Nogitsune was over, he took a knife to his skin to try and recreate some of the scars he used to have
Whenever his sneakers would start breaking as a kid, he would duct tape them until his dad got frustrated with other people thinking they’re poor and bought him new shoes. Little does the sheriff know that’s the ploy.
Can still sense chaos and pain. He has slight empath powers
Has scars on the back of his neck from Scott’s claws
