fuck it, headcanons post

brian is relentlessly ADHD; spends every waking moment just Vibing and doing the best he can

is constantly losing shit. alex had to print out several extra copies of the marble hornets script because brian kept losing it :( very apologetic every time it happened and swore he wouldn’t lose it again and alex would be like “yea okay” and then immediately go to the library to print out another copy bc he knew brian would be coming back in a few hours like “:(((( i’m really sorry but,”

is not spared this fate when he becomes tta; he moves into the woods and spends hours of his time just roaming through the trees trying to figure out where he put his camera down :((

that’s like the only thing he does when not relentlessly hyperfixating on creating the new tta videos

so fucking sensitive to rsd; he was definitely absent from a lot of early mh tapes because he was mostly coping poorly with operator shit, but also was starting to get so nervous about alex’s temper that he wanted to give alex as much space as possible

his professors love him because he cannot help himself with classroom participation; he loves to ask questions and start conversations. he doesn’t do great on tests sometimes but a lot of the time his professors will give him a few extra points because they know him well enough that they Know he gets the information even if it all starts to fall out of his head the moment he sits down to take a test

absolute Pro at hyperfixating, sits down to work and won’t look up for the next seven hours. constantly forgetting to actually take breaks and take care of his body. tim - dissociative king - keeps trying to give brian tips for remembering to do important self care and brian listens Very intently and then immediately forgets it all as soon as tim is out of his line of sight

jay is absolutely autistic

so bad at people, he knows the rules in theory but cannot ever put any of them into practice.

was initially worried that this would interfere with his ability to work on the marble hornets film but spent like ten minutes with alex and his eye for detail was so blatantly obvious that alex never even considered another person for hte job

script supervisors tend to do things like keeping lighting, clothing, and other details consistent throughout shots and filming days. jay Absolutely excels at this and his intense willingness to go through tapes frame by frame just for the hell of it make him even better at it

also usually blunt/oblivious enough to call alex out on most of his dialogue choices, which alex appreciates a little less, but also knows is important so he makes himself tolerate it (even if he winds up ignoring a bunch of it anyway)

wears big neutral/dark clothes because Sensory issues. he’s already really skinny so this just makes him look smaller. he’s one of the taller ones in the original crew, but everyone is continuously surprised by this because of the general aura he sort of puts out

always wearing the hat because it’s Routine but also he has kinda sensitive eyes but doesn’t like wearing sunglasses

brian kind of intimidated jay at first because he’s kind of loud and talks a fuck ton, and Seems like a really cool guy and jay knows that people like that tend to find him even more off-putting than the average dude, but then saw brian almost fall over from stimming too hard while talking tim’s ear off about whatever random shit he’d learned on wikipedia the night before and was like ‘oh vibe’ and wasn’t nervous around him anymore

brian thinks jay is fucking hilarious because he has a really kind of blunt and deadpan sense of humor and makes terrific facial expressions;

the two of them don’t Know each other very well even though they can talk to each other for hours because they use each other to infodump and that’s almost it

tim says something about jay’s family and brian’s like “huh i didn’t know that” and tim’s like “you spent like four hours on the phone with him yesterday??” “yeah, but he was talking about the new camera he just bought, and i was talking about the new spiderman movie; i don’t know what else we could have talked about”

brian is an unabashed slut for physical contact and jay is a little more Cautious of it, but is usually okay with brian because he knows that brian Gets It and will respect boundaries if jay tells him not now. constantly find them around marble hornets shooting in a fucking cuddle puddle because brian would just go sit in jay’s lap whenever physically possible

both of them are fucking terrible about controlling their impulses; put the two of them in a room together and they almost immediately collaborate on pulling the stupidest shit imaginable because one of them had an idea and neither of them have a voice in their heads that tries to tell them to think things through
