On the other hand if Carlos does decide to go to him it’s his turn to grapple with the shame of that decision with going to his biggest rival who’s just beaten him for comfort. (If you want to make the angst even stronger - having to wait by his room because Jannik is still out celebrating.) And we get the deserved heaps of comfort for Carlos, cuddling on the bed so close that you couldn’t tell where one of them ends and the other starts, all limbs entangled, Jannik petting his hair and apologising for this mess even as Carlos insists he shouldn’t. And in the end they’re not going to change it because they both selfishly still want to keep doing this even if it hurts sometimes! 

I think he keeps his hair super clean under there (he handles food and wants to be sanitary, after all) but he doesn't cut his hair or shave, because what would the point be?

In different episodes of TTS he’s expressed disgust at the other Pub Thug’s bad breath or BO, so yeah he’s definitely the most well groomed of the bunch.

just so that you know, if anybody cares

i'm turning 30 today

feeling old, I didn't really think I would get there

I'm grateful for everything life gave me, especially over the last decade: also very thankful for the patience - because it was shitty to see people my age getting further, and me being in a dumb place at that time. Everything takes time, fellow children, you will get there sometime, I believe in you!

I also want to thank a lot of wonderful people - @hawkclash my beloved, @valynxia, @kianga-snowstorm, @keeyasnowtail, @rengyr, @wilsons-journey - for just being there and still being friends even if we don't write, but only like each others stuff on Tumblr or send memes. This matters a lot to an unsociable, always tired grump like me.

Oh, and of course an enormous thanks to all the real-life people keeping me alive and pushing me forwards through hard times - parents, family, the special guy, best friendos, work colleagues, people who suffered the university with me. You are doing an incredible job.
