#pierson

is a decent artist!! everyone would buy him new pencils and stuff on holidays as a kid and he hated it

routinely runs over mailboxes

visits Turner’s children and widow after the war and kind of takes on an uncle role in their lives

like Stiles, he definitely has MULTIPLE dad jokes in his back pocket. ask him to tell one. please.

has a fancy lamp on his bedside table that he meticulously dusts to make sure he doesnt break it

won a couple medals during the war but he never told anyone back home in Oklahoma. he feels as if he doesnt deserve them

can and WILL slap a bitch (this is kinda canon tho)

is the type of guy to have a red pickup truck thats covered in dried mud and dust and speed through backroads

was sent to Korea after WWII..whether or not he made it home is up to you

used to bite his nails when he was little and his mom would smack him with towels to try and get him to stop

is a burrito ENTHUSIAST. knows how to throw down a tortilla and make a damn good burrito.

surprised the HELL out of Daniels when he came to visit Longview post-war. Red had invited him to a reunion he was setting up but didn’t hold his hopes out for him to show, but he sure as hell did, and it for sure shocked Hazel

^ Aiello thought he was seeing things when Pierson pulled up into the driveway.

was excellent at English in high school. read a lot in his spare time, and got back into the habit post-war before being deployed again

likes when vinyls get slightly scratched up in just the right way so they sound all crackly and extra vintage when playing them

cannot use chopsticks to save his life

becomes a completely different man around kids. is all soft-spoken and nice around children. WILL carry a kid on his shoulders

struggled a lot with empathy when he was younger. over the years he’s gotten better at making emotional connections, but it still takes some time

probably still goes shooting after the war. he wants to keep his skill level with a rifle, even if the PTSD he suffers from after might get to him

^ also probably drags a buddy of his with him to go shooting, it helps with the flashbacks, and he’s good at teaching people rifleman skills

has a big ass truck. it’s the only vehicle he has and ever will drive and it’s like two or three decades old

never take this man to an all you can eat buffet. he’ll be respectful, but all that brisket WILL be gone.

hates vodka. can drink practically anything, but NOT vodka.

can’t spell consciousness

WILL put his cold hands on the back of his soldiers’ necks to get them to break

^ ended up retiring from the military after the Korean War. (if he survived—I MEAN WHO SAID THAT…)

likes the clacking sound typewriters make when you press really hard.

^ has broken plenty of typewriters.
