Memeage for a busy brain

[awanderingbard]

Taking a break from the sudden influx of story ideas (help, the bunnies are taking over!) to do a headcanon meme, because those are good for a busy brain.

Give me the name of a character I write or have written and I'll tell you:
- What they are like when they're drunk
- If they have any tattoos/scars/birthmarks
- What frivolous thing makes them really happy
- What stupid thing makes them really annoyed
- Special skills (languages they speak, instruments they play, etc)
- Prized possession(s)
- Medical conditions (allergies, injuries, chronic complaints, etc.)
- Comfort food/activity/object

OCS and AUs welcome, as always. Feel free to ask for a couple of characters.

Previously I have done Q, Sherlock, and Mycroft Holmes, Bruce Banner and Demi, and Harry Dresden.

Putting this here to make it easier to respond from my iPad if necessary:

<b>What they are like when they're drunk:</b> <b>Tattoos/scars/birthmarks:</b> <b>Frivolous thing that makes them really happy:</b> <b>Stupid thing that makes them really annoyed:</b> <b>Special skills:</b> <b>Prized possession(s):</b> <b>Medical conditions</b> <b>Comfort food/activity/object:</b>

Alec Thornton

What they are like when they're drunk: You can measure how drunk Alec is by how much clothing he is wearing. The drunker he gets, the more clothing comes off. He also gets really passionate about the Ancient World and English literature, going on urgent, enthusiastic rants. Josh calls the whole experience 'Strip Education'.
Tattoos/scars/birthmarks: He has a scar over his left eyebrow from taking a football to the face in P.E, and a very noticeable scar just above his lip incurred when he fell on a radiator as a child.
Frivolous thing that makes them really happy: Flipping food around in a frying pan, doing that jiggling thing to move it about.
Stupid thing that makes them really annoyed: When there's supplemental material at the end of a book so that it looks like there's more story left than there is and he isn't fully prepared for the ending when it comes.
Special skills: He speaks relatively fluent Italian, but does not read or write it; he picked it up solely from growing up with his step-mother's family. He's also quite a good cook, and not a bad dancer.
Prized possession(s): He has a box of letters and pictures and other stuff his students have given him over the years. It's just an old shoebox, but it means a lot.
Medical conditions He has asthma that is triggered by cold weather and certain perfumes. He has a rescue inhaler, but doesn't have to use it very often. He also needs glasses for reading.
Comfort food/activity/object: Alec cooks when he's upset. Molly can usually tell if something bad has happened by how complex the meal he's made is--especially if it's a weeknight and she's not going to be around to eat it. Her first question when she calls on her break at work is usually 'what's for dinner?' because she can tell what sort of day it's been by the answer.

I can see this so easily because it also totally sounds like a game Meerkat!Hiddleston and Otter!Batch would play at our tea party.

Such a wonderful and perfect info about their status as a couple!

Strip Shakespeare Quotes is totally on the party game list. Faun!Whishaw just sighs softly and folds up their clothes neatly for them.

Thanks! I have all sorts of this stuff because I keep trying to write stories with them that are basically just 'Molly and Alec are cute, look at them having happy lives' that don't really serve any purpose. Their lives are very drama free so I have trouble coming up with any sort of story lines for them. I feel like when they are off-screen, they are basically drinking tea on the sofa and watching telly and then they go to bed. Which does not make for good story fodder.

He's such a good host!

Of course, he's been raised to be a proper English gentlefaun.
