Hullo!! 🌹 and 🌻 for Soc? And 💫 for you? :D
Hiii! *waves* Thanks for the muse ask! THIS GOT LONG IT'S UNDER A READMORE!
🌹 Where in the world does your OC feel most at home? Is there any reason why? If it’s not the place they were born, where were they born? Is there a certain somebody that makes them feel at home where ever they may be? What does home mean to them? Oooh that's honestly actually very, very easy. Soc is most at home wherever his big brothers are. Usually that means in the house at Knossos with Tex, since Tex is his legal guardian, but sometimes that means in the Capital with Rel -- another of his big brothers! -- and Circe, Rel's wife! He's close to home when his kids are babysitting him for the weekend, but he's MOST at home with his big brothers, since they are the ones he was separated from for so very very long. Soc was born in University Hospital in the Capital, and then transferred to Greystone House when he was 10 years old (the equivalent of about 3 months old for him) where he stayed until he got put into the foster system. He has ZERO memory of this, and the Capital was home for a very long time because it is where he and his brothers lived. Now it's only home some of the time, whenever he's staying with Rel. No shade to Rel or Odin, buuuut if it comes down to it, wherever Tex is is where Soc is most at home. Soc bonded to Tex when he was even smaller than he is now and Tex is his. He's...ah...a little clingy. The autistic-toddler separation anxiety is REAL sometimes, but if big brother Tex is there it is eventually okay again. Which means, really, that 'home' just means his family. He's safe there, and with so much of his life spent being so very not safe that it's a Very Large miracle that he's still alive? Yeah, that's kind of a big deal.
🌻 What little things do they notice about people or the world around them that make them happy? What tiny little treasures do they find in the normal every day that makes the world seem a little brighter for them? Soc. Loves. Kitties. Any cat he sees he wants to touch, any person he sees that has something cat-related on them and he gets so excited that he starts stimming -- which sometimes causes seizures, but we try to prevent that -- and squealing like any 2 year old would at seeing something they adore. It makes him very happy to see cats, in any form. He also does other babies the exact same way. He loves babies and 'anna hodda babieee' in his words. XD
He also loves purple and sparkly things and there is almost nothing more magical than seeing purple flowers or a pretty sparkly rock that he can touch.
Also. Honestly. Probably the thing that makes the world the brightest for him is being picked up by a family member and cuddled. Even when he's in immense amounts of pain or is so overstimulated that he's having a meltdown, being cuddled is a sure-fire way to make things a little more okay. Just the reassurance that he's loved and he's wanted, and they're not going to go away and leave him alone again.
💫What is your favourite fact about this character and why?
Not gonna lie, I love the fact that Soc is an autistic toddler with the hyperintelligence of an adult astrophysicist, even if he leans more into the mechanical engineering thing than anything else. He is the equivalent of TWO and holds some 70 patents for inventions -- including a bio-computer system that the Kaberonian military uses -- and NOBODY BELIEVES HE IS A TODDLER.
At least until they hear him speak. It's kind of hard to deny he's a two year old when his speech is mostly baby babble. He's much more fluent with sign language, but he's a baby. He's still in diapers and goes to daycare, for pity's sake. XD
