#what they're like after a failed salt route (which is a rather loose term i think)
Text
Gonna go ahead and put all of these on the same post so that I don't have to go digging every time I want to remember anything on my Addisons I should've written elsewhere as well- And I'll include new info because why not. :D I'll link more posts here in the future as well. Basically, it's gonna be a masterpost.
All:
- They/them pronouns, but Spamton favors he/him pronouns. He's still okay with they/them.
- They're all 5' 9", except Spamton after the acid incident. He's 3'.
- They're all good at preventing Illy's meltdowns/shutdowns. They don't happen much, but they know what to do just in case. A few are decent at comforting Illy and Spark with their RSD, too.
- They're very protective of each other.
- Most of them make bets with each other. Spark often suggests the bets and conditions. The loser usually has to buy food for the winner or for everyone.
- They're all unbothered by pen clicking noises.
Blip Addison:
- Their birthday is December 21st.
- They're the oldest, and older than Gimmick by a couple months.
- They somehow have worse anger issues than Spamton?
- They play a harp, and their healing magic uses one! But they can't play real music with the latter. It just makes different water-related sound effects.
- They're not the best healer, but they know how to physically care for injuries until healing magic can be used... There's no reason for this. Nope. Most certainly not the third point.
- When they're in a good mood, they're the best to go to for emotional comfort, however it's needed. Advice? A hug? Just listening? You name it.
- They use ominous positivity in regards to self-care, such as setting their status online to, "Drink water or I'm coming for your kneecaps. :)"
- Because they can read people really well, their siblings often act based on their judgement of others (but not always). Regardless, if you're on Blip's good side, you'll be on good terms with most of the siblings.
- They're forbidden from cooking while unsupervised because they suck so much at it.
- They're pan, so they make a number of jokes about the previous point. But they don't like those jokes from people who aren't pan or one of their siblings (it gets annoying when those are the only jokes you hear about being pan...).
Gimmick Addison:
- Their birthday is February 3rd.
- They're the second oldest, and older than Illy by a little over a year.
- They know they're not straight, but that's about it. However, they don't seem interested in finding a specific label, either.
- They play the drums, and on top of that, they can also sing!
- They have NO CLUE how they managed to be popular in school, even though the reasons are painfully obvious to everyone else.
- They make a lot of dad jokes and puns.
- They usually don't swear. May if they're surprised, angry, or in pain.
- They don't appear chaotic. Then you leave them and Spamton unattended, and suddenly Blip has to bail them out of jail for getting caught in a pickpocketing scheme.
- Jk on the last point! They've only been caught a couple of times and put in jail for it once. Blip never lets either of them live it down, especially since the others had to work quickly for money to bail Gimmick out.
- They like cooking, and they're great at it!
- They have a flat/blunted affect. You may have heard this called a "resting bitchface" before.
- They have a tendency to ruin (improve?) Spamton's arson jokes whenever he's talking to someone he barely knows and they're within earshot.
Illusion Addison:
- Their birthday is March 18th.
- They're the middle child, a little over 2 years older than Spamton.
- They strictly go by Illy. They hate their birth name, but haven't taken the time to legally change it yet.
- They're demiromantic and sapphic!
- They're autistic and have ADHD! Their most common stims are making soft popping/clicking noises with their mouth, flipping/rolling a coin back and forth, rubbing the bottom hem of their shirt/suit, and... one more I forgot and need to add again-
- They play the violin. Yes, learning to play was absolute hell for them. They're not the best, but they're pretty good at it now!
- They'll point out flaws they find in their siblings' insults. This isn't to feel "intellectually superior" (which is a bad autism stereotype). No, they're just being a smartass. They don't do this often, either.
- They'll always go out of their way to annoy someone who annoyed them or their siblings. They'll eat a candy bar in front of them that's meant to be broken without breaking it, for example. There's more, but I can't think of anything at the moment.
- They're the best healer in the family, in terms of magic. And they have a lot of practice from healing Blip. However, they're a little tired of it.
- Insomniac number one! They find it easy to get to sleep, but staying asleep is quite the challenge.
- They're the best at malicious compliance.
- They're the biggest gamer of the family. They specifically love survival games, but they're better at puzzle games.
Spamton Addison:
- His birthday is April 1st. Yes, he was bullied in school for it.
- He's the second youngest, and close to 6 months older than Spark.
- Bi!
- Also, demiflux!
- When he's with Gimmick, he's the idea guy. Particularly when it comes to committing crime and avoiding getting caught or put in jail. So far, he's got a good track record! They've only ever been arrested once!
- The only person allowed to call him Spammy (outside of his family) is Swatch. If anyone else calls him that, he'll probably start a fight.
- He's too smart for their own good at times. Like their other siblings, he chooses not to use his intelligence and does stupid shit, even though they know better. Or he uses it for stupid shit.
- He's learned to control his anger just long enough to get somewhere else where he can either safely take his anger out, or do something else to calm down.
- While working for Mike, he was damn near CONSTANTLY pissed off. Before working for Mike, he looked up to him. But then he laid eyes on him in person for the first time, and he just knew Mike was an asshole. His wariness around Mike then developed into intense anger the more he saw how he treated employees -- namely the way he talked behind their backs.
- He has a multitude of trust issues. This is especially true in the Failed Salt Route timeline after he turns on Kris, gets Blip to safety, and ends up reunited with his family shortly afterwards.
- He may antagonize someone if they try to start a fight, but he usually won't attack first. No, he'll attack in "self-defense."
- However, if you intentionally misgender his siblings, he can and will give Blip a run for their money in the Getting Into Fights department.
- He learned to play piano while working for Mike as a way to manage his anger. He didn't learn drums like Gimmick did because he got more worked up when he played them.
- Spark no longer makes bets with them because he kept finding loopholes to exploit. Yet, they may still take bets from him. Which are often one-sided. These are the bets they choose not to take.
- When someone insults his height, he rates and criticizes the insult. This is partly because he's accepted that people are going to insult his height now.
- He's an insomniac. And he has the worst of both worlds, finding it difficult to both get to and stay asleep.
- He almost killed someone when he was 15.
Spark Addison:
- Unfortunately, their birthday is October 30th. But they celebrate it on Halloween!
- They're the youngest.
- They're easily flustered, particularly if they find someone attractive.
- Did I mention they're bi?
- They have ADHD. Most common stims are tapping their foot, clicking pens, snapping their fingers, and swinging their arms back and forth. They try not to do the very last unless they have a lot of space.
- Just like Illy, they also play the violin! It was hell for them to learn, as well. However, on top of the encouragement from their other siblings, Illy and Spark encouraged each other a lot to continue learning.
- They're extroverted! They're who you go to for ideas for things to do, places to go, etc.. However, due to bullying and masking their ADHD, socializing still drains them.
- They're witty and quick on their feet with insults. This also applies when flipping Gimmick's dad jokes so they get the punchline.
- They sell and repairs electronics!
- They're highly prone to dissociation. Depersonalization, specifically.
- They often use finger guns.
- One of their hyperfixations is marine biology! And Spamton occasionally sends Spark texts with blatantly incorrect statements about it (such as saying dolphins are fish and not mammals). They don't take it personally, however, they'll send him a(n empty) threat in response.
- They're the third insomniac in the family. It's hard for them to get to sleep, but they're out like a light once they manage it.
