Any Specs headcanons that I don't know about yet? <3<3
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)
Specs is a deeply romantic person, he loves with all he has, which is too much for some, but just right for who he loves more than anything, his dark prince, his nightshade, his moonshine
