1. He can be a hypocrite
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:09 AM
Example 1
vyng: Billie, watch your language.
also vyng: Billie, don’t fuck around with that pipeleaf
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:09 AM
Example 2
vyng: Billie, don’t put random stuff in your mouth
also vyng: licks dust off of a table

He is 100% aware of his own hypocrisy, he just doesn’t care

though in his defense…..half-elves canonically have stupidly long tongues, like a gecko

And elven physiology changes based on the environment they grew up in

(Vyng doesn’t have dark vision because he grew up in a tundra, for example.)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:11 AM
So I HC that he basically has a gecko tongue that can sense a limited number of things about the environment (LOL)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:11 AM
ALSO re: cursing, Vyng has a tendency to censor himself if they’re in public. (i.e. mouthing the word “fucking” instead of saying it at full volume)

2. Does shit like casually let crystal slowly consume his body for 2 story arcs…while also using powers that aggravate his condition
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:14 AM
Nobody in canon calls him out on this, because they trust he'll sort himself out eventually.

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:14 AM
And you know what? That's fine and refreshing
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя

Because they’re usually right, and Vyng generally returns the favor

In he doesn’t enjoy the same level of trust from cross-canon CR, and he’s starting to change his behavior as a result

Namely not using Elemental Mastery for slice-of-life bullshit, and also making sure not to use it when he’s alone

That said…Vyng deffo has self-sacrificing tendencies, and word of god says he has a lot of self-loathing so

@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:17 AM
IMO, he underestimates how devastated his friends and family would be if he disappeared

Which, on one hand...what the actual fuck??
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:18 AM
But it also means he doesn’t take other people’s affection or love for granted. And that’s why he’s so ride or die for them

3. Self-medicates with booze and sex when he’s stressed. And then gets all depressed and moody when his other coping mechanisms fail him. (i.e. shrugging it off or relentless optimism)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:26 AM
He’d probably do this less if he…actually confided in his close friends/family more often about his problems lmao
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:26 AM
WHY he doesn’t is more up in the air. But my guess is that he assumes most people have zero frame of reference for his specific problems
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:27 AM
Which means there isn’t much they can do beyond lend a sympathetic ear and be like “that’s rough, buddy”

@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:27 AM
And, like......he can get the exact same response from his wooly pig! Or a total stranger LMAO

(Never mind the fact that opening yourself up is the best way to connect with people. And I’m pretty sure he knows this?? But it just isn’t something he'll share with friends without some nudging)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:29 AM
Also, he’s spent most of the series being extremely guarded about the fact he’s an exile. So that was another incentive to keep stuff close to the chest
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:29 AM
THAT SAID.....it's possible he's found healthier outlets in season 7. Might still be too soon to tell, though

4. Terrible at long-term planning. Easily distracted. Leaves problems for Future Vyng to deal with, more often than not
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:30 AM
His go-with-the-flow, “whatever will be, will be” attitude only adds to this
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:31 AM
I’m amazed he’s able to hold a full-time job, tbh
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
@jackets
Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:31 AM
Probably why social work appeals to him — helping people gives him purpose, and therefore keeps him more engaged

5. Can say some insensitive shit when he’s isn’t actively trying to comfort someone
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя

Usually when he lets his internal filter down

2) have a “wow nature’s a bitch, huh” type of pragmatism that comes from being keenly aware of the fact that you’re just a tiny speck in the cosmos.....and 80% of stuff that happens to you is outside of your control anyway

Not a problem 95% percent of time, because he’ll defer to whoever has the strongest opinion or biggest personality (spoiler: usually not him)

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 4:36 AM
But when he decides to fight you on something……good fucking luck LOL

“I only argue when I’m right” is probably something he’d say. While also admitting he knows he’s probably wrong, like…95% of the time Pfffft
