my posts seem to get a lot of attention lately so imma just throw this in here
i don't know if anyone will be interested in reading this, but, i present to you -
my headcanons about tanner:
actually, the songs that you hear in d:sf soundtrack are tanner's favourite songs, he just remembers them while in coma
he's a pretty hot-tempered and emotional guy. he can shout at someone because he's in a bad mood or whatever, but he tries to control himself around people he trusts
tanner is just emotionally burnt out from everything, really
his self-control is pretty bad when he's drunk. i mean, when he's drunk he talks about some funny nonsense and rants about random people he doesn't like for whatever reason. it's kinda funny, but it's a good thing he doesn't get drunk a lot
he had a wife (that one is kinda canon? i mean the devs wanted to add tanner's ex-wife into the storyline) but they divorced because 1) they had different life views 2) she eventually got tired of tanner overworking himself and diving more and more into the job routine
aaand speaking of overworking. because of that, tanner usually falls asleep right behind the desk, while working on important reports (that one is canon, yes). if this happens, jones covers him with a jacket/whatever, puts the super important papers away and just lets him rest
jones is also pretty much the only person he trusts
he often has same dreams that he had while being in coma, like cop chases in san francisco, doing crazy stunts and etc. if he doesn't have those dreams, he has nightmares, in which crows and broken glass appear quite a lot, instead
and he talks in his sleep a lot. in fact, john can keep a normal conversation while literally sleeping
john has a lot of scars, especially gunshot scars
he really loves his car and calls it «his pride and joy»
stability relaxes tanner. that's all he wants from life. stability and rest. and i bet you would want that too if you were him
will there be my hcs about jones? or tanner hcs pt. 2? yeah probably. i still hyperfixate on this game, y'know
