Ramblings of a Madman

I came up with this idea, it’s pretty common I know but still wanted to give my take on it.

Todd isn’t used to people staying around everyone is temporary to him, so now that he’s gotten close to the poets he can’t handle the thought that they’ll leave him. He instead tries to make them leave. He stops talking as much, stops going to meetings and study sessions, and distances himself.

But the poets don’t let this happen unnoticed they stay, check in on him make sure he’s feeling good. They care about him and it’s foreign to Todd. So he tries harder, he tries being mean and snappy. Though he can’t really be mean and snappy. He tries everything, one particular day he avoids them all day, not speaking to them, sitting with them, or anything with them.

Love your hcs btw they’re soooo good 💃

Of course I can, and thank you so much.

Todd

Wakes up with a horrible headache, doesn't speak any words for the first half of the day. Only grumbles and mumbles, looks adorably grumpy with a slight pout.

Neil gifts him some aspirin and water, it barely helps him. He's slumped over Neil most of the day anyway resting whenever he can, only awake to eat.

The hangovers are his least favorite part of drinking so he goes a little while without drinking to make sure he doesn't experience the mind numbing headache again.

Neil

Has hella light sensitivity, squints as soon as he wakes up as it's already to bright in their room and the sun is barely shining. Wears sunglasses all morning, and takes them off every so often to get his eyes more adjusted to the light of the world.

Has a minor headache nothing pain meds won't get rid of, but the sun just has it out for him all day. He doesn't hate hangovers in the winter as it's less bright all day, but on the weirdly sunny days with the blinding white snow, regrets ever taking a sip off alcohol.

Stumbles a bit more as sometimes the light is too bright through the sunglasses so he closes his eyes as well. He lets Todd lead him around when he closes his eyes, though Charlie has tried to swap places with Todd, but Neil can always tell.

Charlie

Wakes up super dehydrated and can barely open his eyes or mouth without feeling a bit of pain. When he finally drinks some water he's complaining to everyone.

Says he'll never drink again, but everyone including himself know that at the next opportunity to do so he's drinking.

Has some very small hangovers on other days and can get through the day completely fine, but just some days he forgets to drink water, he wakes up worse for wear.

Cameron

Sleeps in, and can't be woken up. Rests up as much as possible to make sure the hangover goes away. When he fully wakes up he's terrified as he slept in a few more hours.

Tries to eat, but doesn't have an appetite. Will ask Neil or Pitts to sneak out and get him so fast food, to hopefully absorb some of the shittiness he feels.

Charlie eases up on the teasing and poking fun at Cameron, but as soon as Cameron is more back to normal Charlie lets a few normal jabs shine through.

Meeks

Misplaced his glasses the night before so the world is pretty blurry when he wakes up, when he eventually finds them and puts them on. The world is slightly less blurry, but still blurry.

Can't function the best he mixes up words and sayings way more easily. On his last braincell and it's focusing on not falling face first onto the table.

Tries to read or do something that requires a lot of focus and it's impossible, so he goes to bed earlier, chugs water and pain meds, and sits in the dark doing nothing.

Pitts

Ragdoll, has a harder time moving around and has aches throughout his entire body. Pain meds make it better, but it's a constant hum of an ache.

He can't do anything that requires thinking at all, everything in his head has left. There is a point where the other poets wonder if he's even breathing with how brain dead he looks.

His appetite triples when he's hungover, eats all of his tray and will finish all the other poets trays if they let him.

Knox

Reeks of alcohol when he wakes up and has to take a very long shower to get rid of the scent. The scent makes him feel super sick and queasy.

Looks a bit better after showering, but still can't quite shake off the tinge of green he has in his face. He blames it on something he ate the night before if anyone other than a poet asks.

Pain meds are his best friend, takes them exactly when he's supposed to and they ease the feeling of grossness from him.

Thank you for the request. This took a little cause I unfortunately had some writer's block, but I powered through.

For Neil it was a dog, a tiny brown and white dog with yarn fur. It was a gift from some relative, given to his parents before he was born. He named it smth like Patroclous (he was a big Greek mythology enthusiast in my mind) but he never told that to anyone because he thought it was dumb. He slept with the doggy every single night until he was around 10, then he went into "I'm too old for sleeping with toys" phase. But he still kept it in his bed all the time. He's kinda grown out of it now, but he still keeps it with him like a private comfort item. The only one that knows about it is Charlie, and eventually Todd too.

Then Todd, his was a white bunny, with huge ears and really soft fabric. This one has an interesting story, the bunny wasn't really Todd's, it belonged to his kindergarten teacher and was kept in the classroom as decoration. But Todd was allowed to play with it for enough time that he developed a childlike attachment to it, and would cry when he had to go home. Eventually, his teacher decided to gift it to him. His parents protested saying it wasn't right, but the teacher still handed it to Todd and told him to keep it. And Todd did, of course he did. He would keep it safe under his pillow all day, and then come back at night and check on it. He still has it, but he never gets it out of his suitcase, partially because he's embarrassed about it and also because he's afraid it will get damaged.

Charlie's was a red, sparkly dragon. There's not an actual story of this, his parents bought him a LOT of toys, the dragon was just another one of them. It wasn't like he carried all around or only played with it, again, he had plenty of other toys and stuffies. But the dragon was HIS favorite. When he played with Neil and their friends, they'd make a mess with a bunch of stuffies and other toys, and he'd let them use whatever they wanted from his room EXCEPT for that red dragon. He also gave the thing lore and like insane superpowers. The dragon is still at his house, he's not exactly attached, just remembers it from among the rest.

Meeks' was a duck. But not like a cute realistic duck-shaped one. It was a weird old fashioned humanoid duck, with big cartoon eyes and a colorful bow tie. It was a gift from his grandmother for his 2 year old birthday. His parents sometimes joked about how she couldn't find a more normal one. He thought it was really cool, other kids thought it was funny looking. He never really had any special attachment to it, until he started growing up and it became the first and only stuffed animal he kept. Still has it.

Pitts. Idk if I've said this hc before but I think he was/ forever will be obsessed with dinosaurs. So like, you would expect a dinosaur, but it's not. It's a cow. Like a small fluffy cow with button eyes, his parents made it when he was a baby. He actually did have one stuffed stegosaurus that he adored, but it kinda came in second place. When he was little, his parents had a few cows in the farm, and Pitts would carry the stuffed one outside and show it to the real ones. The stego and the cow were siblings fr.

So Cameron, his is a bear, not really a teddy bear, it was more bear than teddy. lol. It originally belonged to his older brother. Cam never had a lot of stuffed animals, but he had a whole family of bears, five of them, all different shapes and colors. He kinda imitated his own family with them, and of course his favorite was the one who represented himself, it was like his silly sona. He treated them like their own little persons, made them have dinner, go to bed at night, wake up the next day, do homework. He never gave them voices or anything, he just moved them around their usual routine along with his own. It was comforting to keep it like that. Hasn't seen the bears since he started Welton.

Tbh I dont know, @m0nt3cr15t0 ranted a lot about frankenstwin and I havet read any of it to not get spoiled for the book so I dont know ehat I should be hating in the movie lol
