basically, somethi g i have never seen people talk about, is how drugs, especially anti-depressants and psychoactive drugs can rlly mess with ur weight, and since canonically Thomas already has trouble eating (at least he foes not eat meat) and I headcanon that he in general struggles with food, I think that would rlly impact him! But worse of all, I think that would make him extremelly unconfortable

imagine ur whole life u've been very fit, since as a kid amd teen he would work on the farm, and as a adult he was in the army, and then BOOM trauma, and you come back from the war, are already unstable, and feellings constantlly unsafe due to the paranoia of being in a warzone

and you see yourself slowlly getting thinner your muscles getting smaller, your clotches not fitting you properlly, things that fit well, or were even tight, now hang loose and that just makes your frame lighther, you struggle with doing thing that you did before, be it walking as much, or carrying things, you feel more tired, you feel weak, and that just makes him take more meds wich make it even worse since he forgets about eating even more

but yeah 🙂

i'm just being evil XP

and i think that would be rlly i teresting

"Hey! Can we go to the docks today?"

"It's a bit chilly to go swimming, Booker..."

"I knowww... but I like watching the fishies!"

"Haha, okay. Just let me get my bag."

Paul wasn't a guy who particularly stood out from the crowd. But whenever Booker was around, they were impossible to ignore. They've cemented themselves as best friends to the whole town. Anyone from the outside looking in would question why someone plain like Paul hung around an eccentric like Booker. "He's like a brother to me." He'd always answer.

The two have been best friends since childhood. Booker struggles to remember most of it, but the bits he remembered fondly were of Paul. An extra sandwich whenever Booker forgot his lunch, constant sleepovers at Paul's house, secrets kept between them that they'd kept to their graves. Small things that Paul would overlook, but meant the world to Booker at the time.

kind of ironic that paul's a writer and booker's an artist. make of that what you will.

Hey look! Emmerson's tattoo is finally gone!

Skin used to be a reminder for Emmerson's failures. A surgical scar, trailing down his back to remind him to double-check his equipment. Teeth marks, latched onto his right ankle to caution him what lurks in the deep. A tattoo, on his left shoulder that no matter how hard he tries to change, his past still owns him.

A narrow viewpoint he locked with him in his jail cell. Until he was able to accept his faults, be honest with himself, and make a change for the better, could he be able to move on. Emmerson never asked for forgiveness, but his partners promise him that he's done enough.

hi thomas lets put you through the horrors + a comic i didnt want to finish

Riiing... Riiing...

"Ugh, hello...?"

"Hey, Flameguy."

"Christ- Thomas!? Is that you? Where the hell have you been!? It's been a whole week, you weren't answering our calls and your house was empty. We thought you were dead!"

"I know, I know, I'm sorry. If I had to face you in person, I wouldn't have gone through with it."

"Through with what, Thomas? What's going on?"

"I'm leaving. All of it. You were right, I have a problem. And I can't keep letting my problems hurt the people I love. I have to make a clean start for myself, so I'm moving out of town."

"To where?"

"Can't say. I don't think it's good for me to be in contact family anymore. I'm unstable, you know that. I've done... irreversible damage that can't be forgiven. Your family shouldn't suffer for my own sake."

"I... Thomas. There's nothing I want more for you to recover. But do you even have a plan? A place to stay? I can't trust you to be on your own. Please don't cut us off."

"I'm sorry, but it's better this way."

"Don't do this, Thomas. We can figure something out-"

"My ride's almost here. I have to leave soon."

"... And what am I supposed to tell Junior?"

"..."

"Let him know, I still love him."

"Okay. Take it easy, Thomas."

"Goodbye..."

Jim- I don't think Jim would have a full grasp of his identity because he lacks the social experience + deep introspection to understand who he is. Even so, demisexual is the best way to describe his perspective on relationships. "Love at first sight" does not click with him. He needs time with that somebody to feel a closer connection. "Do people really meet on the first date? With a complete stranger?? And get married??? I can't do that!!!" You don't have to Jim... eh, he'll figure it out soon.

Thomas- I've been told Thomas is canonically aromantic which I've absorbed the fact into my being. Yeah aro Thomas seems fitting. He's a friendly guy, cares about people close to him, even a family man. Thomas is satisfied with the relationships he has, something romantic has never crossed his mind. Idk tho he'd probably kiss a few guys drunk at a bar so he lowk bisexual.
