I Too Would Love To Have A Personal Void - Blog Posts

ok ok more stan twin headcanons. this time it’s how they recover from being overstimulated for an extended period of time

ford:

-paces around his room

-listens to music (mostly soundtracks)

-fidgets with all of the random stuff in his room. trinkets and things

-sometimes writes/draws in his journal

-maybe even watches a comfort show

-mostly non-verbal but if you’re close to him (family) he’s more than willing to just sit there and listen to you talk for a while.

-also takes off his glasses during this time. doesn’t want to have to take in all of details in his vision at once.

-tries to focus on just little things at a time. it slowly wears off but it’s still effective and he starts talking again pretty quick.

stan:

-THE VOID.

-no lights

-no noise

-no fidgets

-only laying on the floor

-only staring at the ceiling

-if you even think of coming near him you’ll get clobbered (not really but he REALLY wants to be alone)

-entirely nonverbal

-basically puts himself in a sensory deprivation tank and it works like a factory reset button. he’s fine like 10 minutes later.
