listed in this headcanon right here, we know that paul HATES to be called benjamin and with good reason . the only person ever allowed to call him that is joseph. not even his other siblings . if called benjamin at all , he’ll have physical jerk reactions to it . cringe and flinch come to mind . he was young when taken from the seed household but it was just one of those things that always stuck with him , how his father used his name .
paul would never be hateful or aggressive when someone calls him benjamin , but will politely ask them to call him paul. there’s no reasoning given nor will he go into detail about it. its just paul. end of story. any for of benjamin is off limits. no ben. or benji . nothing. its just paul. and he is content in pretending that his first name doesn’t exist .
if persistent with the usage of his first name or even used as a joke there’s a good chance paul will excuse himself from someone’s presence . if someone cannot respect his choices then he won’t make himself privy to them or their presence. but he won’t ever be rude about it even if he should.
