Look at All Them Boys
tws: medication mention, alcohol mention, cursing
alright, so to start, let’s round off the cast with some specific Boy Facts:
Alex Jones (“but, like. the one that doesn’t suck.” “…thank you for that, jared.”)
yes, ths is his name. yes, he understands how unfortunate this is. no, he does not believe that the chemicals in the water are turning the frogs gay, but he wishes that they were.
if Alex doesn’t wear his glasses for more than ten consecutive hours, he will get bad eyestrain, and he will get a migraine. he can empathize fully with Logan during his recovery
he’s got bottles of over the counter Excedrin on hand At All Hours because his mom sends them to him in bulk. (he used to get migraines A Lot)
he was born in Utah, but raised in Montana proper, so Floridian winter is NOTHING to him. (nothing).
he’s super introverted, so he doesn’t talk too often unless you happen to stumble across one of his areas of interest/expertise. such areas include: Harry Potter (he’s a Ravenclaw), the Marvel Cinematic Universe (don’t talk about End Game, it’s too soon to talk about End Game), and the distinction between Gargoyles and Grotesques (a gargoyle has to have a water spout)
Antonio Theodore “Teddy” (Last Name Pending)
Teddy is half Italian on his father’s side. if anyone on the team visits his home, rest assured they will be treated to more food than they know how to handle and anecdotes upon anecdotes about Baby Ted
Teddy can speak fluent Italian. he also knows a few recepies off hand that he learned from his Nonna. Especially tiramisu
Teddy can be LOUD when he sings, especially when drunk. If there is some form of karaoke or group siging at a party, you can probably find Teddy there.
Teddy has a background in soccer; his dad was a coach for the little league, so Teddy actually played for a few years until Teddy’s cousin dragged him into the hockey hole
Teddy is very big on nature hikes, especially given his interest in horticulture. (give him a local plant, and he can probably tell you what it is)
Teddy never has like Any Pens in his room because Peony keeps hoarding them underneath the bed like a little gargoyle (Alex J: Fun fact about gargoyles – )
Bo Anderson
bo has a neurogenic stutter, so although he can talk, he largely prefers communicating non-verbally via sign
bo can speak (and understand) German, French, Swedish, and English. moreover, because of aformentioned selective mutism, he has also learned the sign languages for all four languages (with ASL for English)
bo is also the master of birdcalls. he typically uses different calls to signify plays that he’s going to make on the ice, and he chirps by making pigeon cooing noises (which is Very Effective – players in the NHL have done this before, as a “pigeon” is slang for a Bad Hockey Player)
bo,,, soft. one of his favorite pastimes is going down to the local park and feeding ducks by the pond.
bo memorizes everyone’s birthday. his trademark is to leave them a small gift with a single Hershey’s kiss on top of it. the team ‘pranks’ bo on his birthday by filling his gloves with frozen Hershey’s kisses in return
bo’s roommates with one of the hockey photographers – a history major named Dezi. Dezi is the Most Talkative Person Alive, and bo Loves to Listen, so it’s a good team up
Jamie Bratcher
jamie always wears the friendship bracelet from patton and the necklace from his sibling (save for during hockey games, when he leaves it with Joan), but he usually has some additional jewelry that he wears on a circulation as well
he’s got silly bandz for days because they were The Shit when he was in middle school
Undertale King. he has never run the entirety of the no mercy route on his own because It Hurts His Feelings, but when his lil sib gave it a try, he was ultimately forced to step in to help them beat Sans Undertale
on a similar note, jamie went through an 8-bit horror game phase when he was in high school. the games Terrified Him, but also the storylines were too compelling not to play. (Ib is one of his favorites)
Jamie is admin of the team Minecraft server, and he has had to tell Remus to stop griefing everyones homes so,,, many,,, times,,,,
Alex Richardson
Highly Disinterested in most things, but he isn’t necessarily mean? actually, he’s pretty chill. it’s just that he was good at hockey as a kid, and his parents kept forcing him to go until he ended up playing it in college, so he doesn’t exactly care for it the way that everyone else on the team does
he’d be a good goalie with the proper defensive core, but he’s Way Too Tired to cover for this team, so he doesn’t play much, even whenever Logan is unavailable.
he has epilepsy, but he’s found ways to manage it. he hasn’t had a seizure since the eleventh grade because he’s learned how to avoid any potential triggers pretty well. still, can never be too careful
is on a first name basis with every single one of his professors, not because he’s any sort of phenomenal student, but because he accidentally befriended the head Dean’s daughter and – by extension – inadvertently earned the head Dean’s favor.
he originally earned his partial scholarship by playing well in high school (and playing decently albeit sporadically throughout Freshman year), but he has No Doubts that the only reason he’s retained it is because of the joint efforts of Joan and the Dean. this made him feel guilty for a bit until Joan waved off his concerns, because “it’s not your fault that I like to hoard goalies.”
One Night Band
One Night Band – the “Musical Cryptids” – is a group of students who practice together over a seris of weeks and then spend exactly one night recording an entire album of original, meme-y music. their lead singer is Callen, with other members including Mateo (Julian’s boyfriend), Catalina (one of the hockey photographers), and two other students named Taboo and Lee
Peter helps with sound editing/mixing and also is featured in a couple of guest tracks, but he wouldn’t consider himself a full time member
no one on campus knows who the members of One Night Band are because each member chooses a cryptic representative. Callen is Mothman. Mateo is a Werehyena. Catalina is the Chupacabra, Taboo is the Kraken, and Lee is a Fresno Nightcrawler. (Peter, when he makes his debut, is the Jersey Devil, since he’s from NJ)
tracks include The Gay Agenda (ft. the Jersey Devil), Alcohol (A Christmas Carol), and Fuck You Mrs. McAllen: A Ballad of Spite – among others
Other Interactions
despite Jared’s Entire Demeanor, he’s oddly soft around Bo? like. everyone is soft around Bo, so it shouldn’t be anything special, but also it’s Jared, so that raises some eyebrows
because there are two Alexes, a majority of the other players refer to Alex R as Richardson to keep things simple. jared suggests “Big Richard – or Big Dick, if you will,” and although Alex R literally Does Not Care, Coach Thomas issues a hard no on that one
Alex R and Alex J tend to flock together at the arcade during team lazer tag nights (because lazer tag is Not Kind to their conditions), and this teamup is fondly referred to as Alex^2
as mentioned before, Bo always places a Hershey’s kiss on his birthday gifts to the team. that said, if someone sees Bo with a Hershey’s kiss, that is a Prime Clue that they’ve forgotten someone’s birthday
payton freaks out because bo brings an entire BAG of hershey kisses once (because “holy shit did i forget like,,, Coach Thomas’s birthday or something”) until peter’s like “dude calm down it’s Halloween"
Holly, at Jared: i legitimately wish that i had joined another team sometimes specifically so that i would have an excuse to fight you
