(for the headcanon thing) 9, 11, 13 for Dr Death Defying
I feel like Dr. D isn’t a huge fan of physical contact. He believes a firm handshake is important and makes a good impression, and he lets his close friends hug him goodbye whenever they part ways, but he doesn’t trust anything more than that. Show Pony is off the hook on all of this because he helps him get around and in and out of bed etc., so D trusts him enough to let him put his arm around him when they’re seated, but D is very particular about who can get close to him physically and who can’t.
I feel like Dr. D is one of the few killjoys who’ve accumulated more than one change of clothes, but he’s probably the only one who doesn’t care. He’s 100% the kind of guy who throws the first thing on he sees in the morning. And on really hot days, he totally does the radio show in his underwear because he couldn’t care less.
Dr. D has a lot of nicknames, but most of them stem from his full name, Dr. Death Defying. Show Pony calls him Death sometimes as a joke, but most people call him Dr. D. The Fab Four and Cherri and a few other people are the only ones close enough to him to call him just D, and most strangers just use his full title. D himself doesn’t care a lick about what people call him, as long as it’s not Doctor. He thinks it’s too formal for the zones, and it also gives people the wrong idea of who he is and what he does. Dr. D feels like if people call him doctor or even just doc he has to live up to the name, and thats a lot of responsibility.
Thanks so much for asking! Lot of cool stuff to explore in this. The world needs more Dr. D head canons :)
