a personal list of stamets headcanons
he swears a l o t and has just learned to not do it when command is around
he definitely used to fuck around with mushrooms of the psychedelic variety before joining starfleet (that was clearly not his first time under the influence of mushrooms, just saying)
he’s had the same haircut for like twenty years because once he figured out what required the least maintenance he stuck with it
coffee addict. actually, just a general caffeine addict. sleep is inefficient.
lowkey loves trashy pop but would never admit it
he’s one of those people that regularly trips over their own feet and runs into walls because he was thinking about something instead of paying attention
is or was a smoker at some point because i don’t think he’s ever heard of a healthy coping mechanism in his entire life
queen of suppressing trauma (hugh sees right through it)
owns like three non-uniform outfits because “does it really matter what I look like”
never reads a book all the way through before moving onto another. he’s one of those people who’s always working on three or four books at a time.
watches intergalactic Jeopardy
we know he can slow dance but i bet he also knows how to throw that ass in a circle
fatalistic sense of humor but also finds the oddest things funny (he and tig get along super well for this exact reason)
if discovery has a Sergeant Stabby it’s because he made it but he refuses to own up to it because he thinks it’s hilarious
not the most organized of people (it drives hugh up the fucking wall)
his gay awakening came from some sci-fi character as a teenager
likes podcasts because they allow him to learn while he works on other stuff
either doesn’t eat for two days or eats 3000 calories in one sitting
straight people exhaust him. the reason he eventually warms up to tilly is because she’s gay and loves space just like him. (and burnham because she’s bi and trying her best)
