GOD SPECS WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!

Hi Vee! I probably don't have that many you don't completely know, but I'll try to list most things anyways:

Specs' name is Victor, I to this day cannot decide if he's British or Russian

His parents are named Victoria (who he is named after) and Valentin

He hasn't been in the lodge too long, comparitively to Skittery or Swifty, but he worked himself into the fold relatively quickly

Though he used to be a much shorter-fused person without Dutchy

Most times he is just a helpful guy with smart remarks, a bit quiet occasionally, but always involved, but sometimes all the sounds and chaos of the lodging house gets So Much, and he wants to just rip his hair out - or stab whoever is loudest

Dutchy helps a lot with that, he'll pull him to wherever is quietest and talk to him - or read to him - in a language he doesn't understand, letting him focus all on the sounds of that, with no meaning as he doesn't know it, and that calms him down

He helped Dutchy with reading English - after Dutchy adamantly refused to learn for months, because he could read, thank you very much

Dutchy and Specs often sell together, and of course they've accidentally swapped glasses, which is disastrous, but at least very easy to notice as Specs is nearsighted and Dutchy is farsighted

Specs likes to sneak close to concert halls to try and hear the big brass or string orchestras, Medda's is fine, but he wants to hear just a bit of that giant soundscape, so many instruments working together to create wonderful songs

He used to be able to play the piano a bit, but he forgot most of it over the years, not able to train sitting in his mother's lap anymore

Though he still loves music just as much as she did

in modern Specs is very peculiar - to most people - with his personal style. He dresses very goth or fancy (idk is astronomy academia a thing??)

He's been childhood friends with Dutchy and the progression to dating was surprisingly very easy and natural

He plays in Blink's rockband - on the piano - along with Sarah and Snoddy

There's definitely been multiple instances where only the thought of Dutchy has kept him from committing a murder (even if, if justified, Dutchy would probably encourage him. But that is for other kinds of AUs)

Keystone is celebrating Pride Month with a 30-day parade! 30 days! 30 queer OCs!

15/30: Since he's not keen on either of them, Decs has decided to let his grandparents--maternal and paternal--find out that he's gay when they show up to his wedding.

I was gonna answer this earlier but I got distracted but here you go I made a poster for the new PL Netflix show starring Deccy Rice for you <3
