#clancy headcanons

Spencer Reid 100% has POTS and has to drink water all the time so he doesnt get dizzy, which is part of why he didnt do well on any of the physical aspects of the test for being in the field.

Agoraphobic Clancy having panic attacks and nightmares once he leaves Dema, barely able to walk or make himself move at first, and even as time progresses, its hard for him to go anywhere, especially leaving his tent in the mornings.

Torchbearer with a body braid to keep all his joints in place and from hurting, and feeling guilty for when he has bad hypermobility pain flare-ups and it stops him from helping around the camp.

Derek Morgan's knee injury means that some days, especially the older he gets, he uses either a knee brace or a cane depending on how bad it is, and gets self conscious about it when the rest of the team is going to make an arrest or break into a suspects house and he cant because of the pain.

Etho having an emotional support/medical alert arctic fox that he uses to tell if his hallucinations are real and that helps him with his anxiety around people and leaving his base.

he doesnt sleep alone and is slightly afraid of the dark - but he wont admit it

he always covers his face when he laughs

his handwriting is quite messy when he has an idea

he has a sweet tooth

he gets random hand tremors and shakes

loves the colour yellow

always has a vase of wildflowers in his tent that he handpicked

acts confident but he really has no idea what hes doing most of the time

plays his uke for the banditos around the campfire every saturday night

loves doodling random sights in trench

loves the campfire

he also loves toasting marshmallows!! no surprise there

his eyes crinkle when he smiles

writes poetry but refuses to share it with anyone (other than torch one random night at 2am)

getting into sad headcanons under the cut - ptsd implied and disordered eating

when first escaping dema and meeting the torchbearer, clancy wanted to change everything about himself; so he picked a new name: tyler.

when clancy comes back from sai, officially deciding to take on his leadership role as being the one to defeat the bishops, he starts going by his original name, clancy, as a way to take power back from the bishops and reclaim his identity. (overtake your former self yada yada)

then after I thought about that I was like well Torch has gotta have a "normal" name besides the Torchbearer, hmm I should think of one, not josh because again, im a firm believer that these characters are not tyler or josh and dont use those names.

I was like ooh what if since the Torchbearer could be a metaphor for Jesus we use the english version of what Jesus' name was, which then i was like wait thats still just Joshua huh.
