A full transcribe of MARCUS PIKE'S dialogue/lines from the TV show THE MENTALIST

Includes full dialogue, and dialogue from any deleted/additional scenes available.

I've created this as a point of reference when writing for Pedro's characters, and I hope you find it useful. Even if you just want to read the dialogue. 🖤

FULL MASTERLIST OF PEDRO CHARACTERS DIALOGUE

☝🏻Dialogue has been fully transcribed by myself using reference to original scripts (if available), audio subtitles and using my own two ears. Therefore, mistakes can be made, however I have tried to be as fully accurate as I can. If you spot an obvious mistake, please kindly let me know. Where audio is not clear, I have marked with *inaudible* Scenes are separated for ease of reference.

FULL SCRIPT DIALOGUE: (ALL EPISODES - MARCUS WAS IN 6 EPISODES IN SEASON 6 AND 1 EPISODE IN SEASON 7)

EP 16, S6 VIOLETS

Mrs Hennigan, why was your husband trying to save this painting in particular?

We’ll do our best to get it back for you.

I’m special agent Marcus Pike, this is agent Searles. You’re… Patrick Jane, right? Abbot’s guy?

What makes you say that?

Sure. I’ve heard good things about you. We’d be happy to have your input. These guys, they’re… they’re really good. And our cases don’t usually lead to homicide.

__________________

Art thieves used to be about sneaking. Night time break-ins. Not anymore. The new generation prefers guns. This guy is the leader. He does the talking, runs the show. But until yesterday morning, he’s never killed anybody. They’ve done about six jobs between Dallas and Phoenix in the last two years, taking down about one hundred million worth in art and artefacts.

Stolen art can take a long time to sell. So our guess is they’re sitting on a lot of the art, including the paintings from yesterday's heist.

Well, they’ve only slipped up once. We found a glove a few blocks from a gallery they robbed in Phoenix. We managed to get a partial print and we got a hit. Aaron Polaski. Time for armed robbery and battery, he’s also the former middleweight boxing champ at Fulsom prison.

Yeah, we brought him in for questioning but he lawyered up quick and told the CIP. These guys are pros.

We do, but nothings popped. Doesn't seem to have a lot of friends. He hangs out a lot at a bar on sixth street.

So, how do we do that?

I don’t know what any of that means.

__________________

I always feel a little bit like Aladdin right here.

It’s stolen.

Sometimes we just get part of a haul. We sit on the art so the crooks don’t know we have a lead and we keep it here while we investigate the rest of it.

Well, we keep a pretty tight lid. Our own secret museum.

No. Just, once or twice…

Well, I-I don’t wanna second guess you, Mr Jane, but if you wanna use these paintings as bait, the guy running this crew knows a lot about art, he’ll know this stuff is stolen.

__________________

We ready?

What the hell’s that?

He asked him for some napkins, so?

__________________

No, he's gonna do it… watch.

There you go.

__________________

Pass the rice, please.

It’s a drug forfeiture. On loan from the DEA. So, what’s the story with Jane and Lisbon?

No, I mean are they in a relationship? A couple?

It’s going good. You got a nice red cross.

Yeah.

__________________

This is Pike.

Okay, well, we, uh… we shut down the inside cameras, so you don’t have to worry about any more prying eyes, and just so you know there is someone outside the house, we’re guessing it’s another one of McCabe’s crew.

No, we’ve got eyes on ‘em. Don’t worry. You’re safe. I wouldn’t lie to you.

Well you’re… you were real good.

Well, that’s a shame. There’s a pretty good diner just down the street from you. Biscuits and gravy, if that’s your thing.

Alright, well what about pancakes?

They have about six kinds; chocolate chip, banana, all that good stuff.

Maybe, just a… little bit. I can have some sent over to you.

No, you’re right I won’t tease you anymore. I won’t even mention the waffles.

Right, well I don’t know what a canape is, but bon appetit. Goodnight, Lisbon.

__________________

This is the part I don’t understand; we’re not gonna rob the museum?

Why not? I mean, he robs the paintings from the museum, we catch them red handed, case closed. We all go home.

Then why is he at the museum with Jane?

__________________

How is it?

You probably like that Chicago style stuff, right?

Hmm… I'm not really in the mood for pizza. You know what sounds good? Those pancakes we were talking about before.

Do you wanna go?

Yeah. Dinner is the best time for breakfast. What do you say?

Look, if you don’t wanna go, just say so. We’re cool. It’s good, but I like you, and I think you’re a hell of a good looking woman and I’d love to get to know you better.

Let’s go.

EP 18 S6 FOREST GREEN

Hey.

Coffee?

I made you breakfast.

Well when there’s a guest, I like to make a fuss.

Yeah?

It’s just work stuff. Listen, I was wondering if we could get dinner tonight? Or… is that weird because we went out last night? Is-is two nights in a row weird?

Okay, good. I’ll make a reservation.

Well, like I said, I like to make a fuss.

Yeah.

I came looking for you, but they said you’re still in the woods. I’m disappointed.

No problem. What’s holding you up?

Have your people tried accessing a forestry satellite? They’re imaging that area all the time looking for fire outbreaks.

I used one once to find a guy who was running with some stolen Frederick Remmingtons.

Bye.

__________________

No, it’s okay. I took another girl out to dinner last night instead.

Yeah.

Gladys. Eg-Eg-Egbert.

It’s the best I could do in the spur of the moment.

Oh, well, I’m glad. I’m a lousy liar, so you’re right. Actually, there’s uh, something I wanted to tell you.

That work stuff, it’s actually a promotion. The Bureau is forming a task force to deal with international art theft. It’ll be working with Scotland Yard and a few other agencies. Long story short, they, uh, they-they want me to run it. Yeah, but they want me to run it from DC.

So, I’m telling them no.

Well, I’m allowed.

I’m not a kid. I’ve been married and divorced. I know when something’s real. And when it could get serious. I feel that way about us. Do you… feel that way?

Look, one thing I know is that when you feel that way about someone, you gotta hang on ‘cause… because it doesn't happen very often.

I know. It’s okay.

What if you came with me?

I’m asking what if we went to DC, you and me, together? What do you think of that, Teresa?

Okay then. We need a cab.

This is not an old movie! This is a classic, you gotta watch this. You’re gonna love it.

Is everything okay?

Well, Teresa, I may not be able to read minds like Jane, but even I can tell when something’s going on.

Do you wanna talk about it?

Just wanna say that I know that moving to DC is a big thing and it might raise issues you don’t feel totally comfortable talking to me about, but I just want you to know it’s okay. You go through whatever process you need to, just… let me know when you make a decision. I’ll be here.

I saw someone's modern AU fanart of some Naruto characters and when I saw Gaara it made me wonder...

How might we adapt Gaara's canon backstory into a modern no-powers AU so that he goes through a fairly similar character arc, with his relationships with his siblings and other characters being as faithful as possible to the original series...?

And I'm tentatively leaning towards untreated schizophrenia and subsequent insomnia to explain the lack of sleep and other characters' fear of him, followed later by his improved mental health and social relationships.

The insomnia would of course be caused by the schizophrenia (Shukaku won't stop screaming), and as for the schizophrenia...

In addition to the the obvious (talking to people who aren't there, etc)—I know television isn't the best source, but...

From what I remember of Fight Club and Mr Robot, from the outside the schizophrenia would sometimes appear like Dissociative Identity Disorder instead, where actions taken by the hallucination (Shukaku) would in reality be performed by the individual who is hallucinating (Gaara).

So Shukaku attacking people or saying creepy shit would manifest as little Gaara doing that instead—hence his siblings', father's, and the other townspeople's fear of him.

The only issue would be Gaara's Sand Defense...

Part of what made him so scary to everyone was that he was untouchable. Nothing you did would ever phase him; there was way for you to hurt him.

And for that, I am also tentatively considering giving him congenital insensitivity to pain—also known as CIP.

Something you've probably heard of before, CIP is when a person is unable to feel pain.

It's actually incredibly dangerous—imagine having appendicitis but not realizing until it's already too late because you're unable to feel it—but the reason I'm considering giving it to Gaara is because while it would not make him invincible—far from it, actually—it would instead give him the appearance of invulnerability.

Can you imagine seeing a kid get stabbed or break an arm or something, and he just stands there, completely unaffected, completely unfazed...

A little kid, just five years old or something, and he just looks down at the knife in his wherever and just...pulls it out. Without blinking.

An adult would find that creepy. But a kid, the same age as him? They would probably think him immortal or something. Invincible. Unkillable.

Little baby Gaara, unable to feel pain and suffering from untreated schizophrenia and subsequent insomnia... Why is it untreated? Because his father's an asshole, that's why.

Luckily when he's twelve his father gets murdered and him and his siblings are taken in by family friend Baki.

In the wake of the murder and subsequent scandel, Baki ends up deciding that it'd be a good idea for them to move—to get away from all of this.

They go to a new school where no one knows Gaara but they quickly become wary of him anyway because of his behavior...

Enter Naruto.

Naruto, who was put on medication for schizophrenia just a few months ago or so.

Naruto, who grew up hated by those around him because his similarly schizophrenic mother killed his father and herself after someone snuck into the hospital, into the private VIP section reserved for the president's wife (this is going a bit off the rails, whoops), and slipped some strong drugs into her IV which induced severe hallucinations and caused her paranoia to skyrocket—

(She was already at risk because she temporarily had to go off her meds since they would mess with the pregnancy and put both her and the baby at risk, but it should've never gotten to that point, it never should've gotten that bad, that out of hand—it was entirely That Man's fault, not that anyone acknowledged that afterwards...

Damnit, Obito.

No, they found out Kushina was schizophrenic and they all automatically blamed her, assumed that her being schizophrenic made her dangerous and unsafe to be around, and that her son would be just like her...)

Naruto, who grew up with the adults around him constantly expecting him to snap—their wariness causing a similar wariness (distrust, distaste, avoidance) in their children.

Naruto notices Gaara, and he gets him help—tells Kakashi-sensei who tells Baki who had up till now had been warily avoiding the child, taking notes from Gaara's shitty father, and not bothering to consider why Gaara behaved the way he did...

Gaara is taken to get help. He's prescribed medication and eventually starts to get better, bit by bit. Shukaku quiets and Gaara is finally able to sleep—which surprisingly (it really shouldn't be surprising) does wonders for his mental health.

And throughout all of this, Naruto is an invaluable presence—the wonder that is having a friend who understands, and who isn't afraid of him...

Anyway, yeah. That's how I think it could work—just replace jinchūriki with schizophrenia basically... Plus some other stuff.

—

※ Quick reminder: I do not have any of the disorders listed—schizophrenia, insomnia, or congenital insensitivity to pain.

My knowledge of these conditions mostly comes from television and the internet; please take it with a grain of salt.

I repeat:

I am not a reliable source of information for any of this.

Thank you for your time.

A Marvelously Wonderful Life

1102 was a very tough chapter to write about. I usually have a draft ready from the Raws, but here there were a few angles I had to look at it from. So y'all are getting a Christmas bonus. On the surface this is just a cool, cool chapter. We split between Kuma and Bonney's stories, showing the former's side of known events. It's so moving in it's own right, do remember part of why I choose to focus on the meta narrative aspects is because it's hitting very close to home. And y'all this one's a doozy. Bookends. So this flashback begins with Ginny saving the day at God Valley the way she did and now ends with Kuma setting a precedent for the exact narrative trope we're looking for? Showing hidden sides of known events.

That's it, that's like...the entire foundational building block of all this weird shit I've said. Kiku was perfectly set up to do this with all of Wano, but it'd really start looking like a new recruit narrative fast. It's not just saying that the same way anyone could do that, we've pointed out several specific places where you could guess something happened based on context clues. Miss Unassuming is kinda the #1 archetype to pair with a twist told that way. In essence, this flashback starts and ends by setting a precedent. That's one way you could look at it, given I can tie both to Victoria Cindry is blowing my mind.

You cheeky lil shit. Don't worry, I'm not getting ahead of myself. This could just be a last note of the flashback and next chapter we're back to fighting Saturn. Kuma pops in to save the day with a last ounce of humanity, the miracle we didn't see with Cindry. Tomorrow we'll talk big picture, why I still wonder if this is a red herring walking the same line as Yamato. But first we have to ask the basic question, where does 1103 go from here? Because it can do that...but did we see it? A repeat of how we came back from the big cutaway. When we skipped the night in the lab. Is this the start of us coming back to that? Don't forget that was a double-bluff too.

That is an intriguing possibility. Always cool when you see the concept you expected but in a different way that's instantly so much better. Yeah, that is the way to play with the flow of this narrative. Skip the night, get to the high drama, fill in the night, finish the fight. To me, if that's what we're doing then this is almost assuredly heading towards the "Double Rashomon" idea. There'll be one more segment away. Maybe it's the alternate take on Wano. Maybe that's through Sword and Drake's report. Maybe it's the two Stussys as a pretext to let Marco do it. Maybe it's something completely different with or without alt-Wano as the fourth, real one. Neat right?

Crackle. Oh man, story's picking up another frequency again. There's something I'm left with here. Kuma's a total patron saint of teddy bears and genuinely good dudes everywhere. He's so cuddly and sweet and I know some of y'all are gonna hate me for this but he's also kind of a trusting idiot. So it's interesting you have that "Bakura" split personality element seep in.

We've broached this subject before, it's where Okiku was an evolution of Himura Kenshin. Which is really just the difference between a man making big, grandiose axioms about nonviolence vs. a sensible, pragmatic woman who will bear the burden of doing what's necessary as a last resort. Remember how much Kuma's sacrifices troubled Ginny. A little more grit and realism from the very spiritual Kuma probably would have been better for everyone involved, but at least people end up remembering you as a figure like Oden.

Makes this little crackle very interesting. It theoretically works as a Chekov's Gun; a way for Kuma to have a happy ending if Vegapunk snuck it in anyways. Or it works as a roadmap for where Kuma, saintly as he may be, fell short and is part of something bigger. Recall, we do make a point of showing something similar out of Vivi losing her cool in a tense conversation with Cipher Pol. (Psst, and Stussy setting up still struggling with personal identity issues that are silly to worry too much about.)

RUFIOH: ...

HORUSS: 8=D < Hey, why don't we participate in an enjoyable activity together later, as romantic afterlife partners? We could play one of those foreign card games you seem to like. What's that one called again? Fiddlespoon?

RUFIOH: um. yeah... we can do that... 1 guess. that sounds... uh... dope.

HORUSS: 8=D < I know I'm not the best partner to share your e%otic and somewhat childish interests with, but I do my best to try to understand them and enjoy them with you. The most important thing is that we spend time together, and maintain a STRONG relationship.

RUFIOH: ...

RUFIOH: bangarang.

just shhhhh let me tell ya something about Kid Blink and Sarah

they are besties yes, but in modern au they listen to punk/hard/emo music (which ever word you prefer)

It was a bad day for Blink. His classes were killing him and Mush was out sick. He went to get his lunch and it wasn't much, the school had crappy food anyways so he got his usual of cereal, a bag of plain chips, milk, yogurt, a bag of apple slices, and a fruit roll-up. All on a stupid little blue tray.

It usually got him full until after school but right now he was heavily missing the food Mush would bring him. Blink wanted to punch the stupid sickness that took Mush away from him today.

Walking along the path to the big shady tree they all usually sat under Blink was actually gonna jump off a cliff. No one was there. He sighed hard and took out his phone seeing a few messages on the group chat saying a few of them had to stay in class a bit longer to finish a lab. The rest didn't reply given they didn't have lunch yet.

Blink threw his phone on the ground and just began to eat his cereal because for heaven for bid he starved himself today.

Looking around while eating he noticed Sarah coming towards him. He never really talked to Sarah, she mostly hung around Katherine but would once in awhile come to sit with them.

Sarah then took an earbuds out and said "Hey Blink," with a soft smile. She had black skinny jeans on with a belt tilted to the side and her shirt was one of her many band-tees.

Blink could only wave as he had food in his mouth.

"Have you've seen David?" She asked while fixing her bag on her shoulder.

"No, he's probably with cowboy in a bathroom stall." Blink scoffs at the thought.

"Damn him!" Sarah huffs and sits down next to him. "He said he needed some ibuprofen at lunch and he's not even here."

Blink opens the bag of apple slices and smriks, "Yeah well that's what you get when he's with cowboy."

Sarah rolled her eyes and took out her other earbud pausing her music. "You all alone today?"

Blink only sighs and offers one of the apple slices. Sarah takes it without a word and both were happy it wasn't an old pack of apples.

"Yeah Mush is out sick and everyone else is held up in their last class. Where's Kath?" Blink gave her the other half of the cereal seeing as she had nothing on her.

Sarah scooted back to lean on the tree taking the small box from him. "Oh she had to finish something in English."

"I guess it's just us today then huh?" He shot her a smile

She nodded with a grin as she began to eat.

They sat in a comfortable silence sharing the bag of cips and yogurt thanks to Blink accidentally grabbing two spoons. Blink even shared his desert of the fruit roll up.

With 10 minutes left, Sarah took out her phone and offered an ear bud to Blink.

"It helps me relax." She stated sensing that Blink could use something.

Blink sat next to her and she played a new track. It was definitely new and different. There were rough edges, sounds and feelings he didn't know that could come from a song.

He wanted more. So much more that he asked Sarah to send him that playlist. Sarah was more than happy to give him it.

Now he listens to it all the time, even on different albums from each band. When asked about it he'll get defensive only to be shocked that people were just really asking what he was listing to.

Thus started a friendship of emotions.

They share information on each band to one another

Sometimes Blink finds new bands Sarah never heard of

Sarah will invite Blink over to help with homework then after they finish they have their own concert usually getting told to turn it down

David has multiple videos of them dancing/singing. Sarah has made sure those won't get out

Mush and David now question these two

On days where no one is there Blink will find Sarah (or vise versea) and they share the lunch and listen to music

They have small debates on what song/album/band is better

Usually ends up in a small pillow fight

They were lucky to see five of their favorite bands in concerts

Also they talk out their issues to one another

Blink cried one time listing to a song making Sarah do the same because why did it hit so hard

They go on little hot topic dates <3 with Starbucks

Also they totally didn't start thinking of starting a band

#sorry if my writing is bad #i was struggling for no reason #also this is a lot of slef projecting #lowkey want s friend like this #alsk didn't want to make it to stereo typical incase somone said something #so uhhh they just vibe #i would like to think they got spot on this too #also rip the Jacobs household #newsies #92sies #1992 newsies #1992sies #kid blink newsies #kid blink #sarah newsies #sarah jacobs #newsies 1992

im glueing myself to this cip couch, stg never leaving.

anywhooo when does colby talk abt his 21 past lives? and also… whats your take on past lives? bc im on the fence. i love to hear peoples point of views :)

- aussie anon

Ok, so fair warning - this discussion happens in a video that is part of one of the absolute worst series they've ever made, if you ask me. So just keep that in mind, I am not recommending this thinking you'll utterly love it 🤣.

In the last series they did with Jake and Corey pre-pandemic, they went to the Miami Biltmore Hotel and met with a psychic while there who told them that Colby had 21 past lives, among some other psychic stuff (actually, if I recall one of the things he told them had to do with Sam's grandfather which now that I think about it, is kind of interesting after the whole mess with the C**juring but I digress lol).

I actually do weirdly believe it, simply because I always thought I lived a past life (where I played piano). I have never taken piano classes, know nothing about the instrument, but had this moment of startling clarity one day where for about 60 seconds, I knew every single key and could've played a Beethoben concert if you had plopped me down in that moment in front of a piano. I've never had that happen since and all that fleeting knowledge about pianos is out of my head now. Anyway, I heard that phenomenon is a thing that people attribute to past lives sometimes, and that sounds cooler to me than just "hey, you might be a little crazy" so I'm rocking with that lol.

I do think Colby is the definition of an "old soul" - whether you believe that term to mean literally a recycled soul or just a person who is wise beyond normal earthbound human conception. It's kind of interesting to hear the psychic describe what he considers past life phenomenon to Colby, cause it's mostly stuff I would attribute to being an introverted old soul with a touch of anxiety...so idk. I wish he would've explored that a little more in a person channel video, tried one of those past life regression things, just so we could see how that process works and dissect it, but alas...as with anything I find interesting that I want him to do, he doesn't fucking do it.

Ah well. We shall live in mystery forever lol.

Alessandro Borghi and Luca Marinelli, the story of a friendship

Theirs, and the one told in “Le Otto Montagne”, the film (from the novel Premio Strega by Paolo Cognetti) that puts them back together seven years after their consecration with 'Non Essere Cattivo'. We met them in Cannes

Alessandro Borghi is scared: «No, because now you see me like this, here at the Cannes Film Festival, with this green jacket playing cool, but in reality I'm afraid of everything. And with age it gets worse and worse". Two chairs away, Luca Marinelli looks around as well with a strange look, pleading: "Easy questions, please." When they don't arrive, he leans towards Borghi and asks: "Shall we change?". "Of course not" is the sly reply. On the other hand - you will think - we are at Cannes, not at the sausage festival, and these two are even running for the Palme d'Or with the Italian-Belgian-French film “Le Otto Montagne”, directed by Felix Van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch, based on the novel Premio Strega by Paolo Cognetti, in theaters this autumn. True. But the feeling is that much of the emotion comes from being at Cannes together. Like two (missed) Ferragnez* of the cinema. Because, in short, let's face it: Borghi and Marinelli are the most beautiful male couple around.

The first elegantly coatto*, complete with a tattoo that emerges from the neckline of the shoe and rises along the back of the foot; the second more of an intellectual cinema. Both are very talented and sought after. The two fell in love, sorry, they met in 2015 on the set of “Non Essere Cattivo” by Claudio Caligari: there they became great friends. They have always wanted to work together again: "We had a thousand projects," they confirm in chorus. But in fact, it never went down to the point. Until today. Seven years - and eight mountains - later, here they are, in fact, the “Cip and Dale” Borghi & Marinelli, more close-knit than ever, as enthusiastic as two kids on the first day of school. "We have always kept in touch, friendship has never been lost," confirms Marinelli while Borghi nods with conviction. «Claudio Caligari has given us this bond of incredible friendship, indeed this family. Felix and Charlotte gave us a new one, as a gift, after seven years». And you think: now Borghi gets up and kisses Marinelli on the mouth. Instead it doesn't happen. But it's like if that happened.

The two are very close. Zero envy, very good-natured fooling around and above all an understanding that pierces the screen. The rivalry? Not received. "I'm not competitive because I feel uncomfortable at any moment, even when events put cool things on me," assures Borghi, who, like Marinelli, has done a lot of cool things. But nothing: the two "love each other", and in a way that makes all women envious: with us, solidarity and non-profit friendship are not exactly that frequent, or at least not in the workplace. But we were saying. Together the two transform interviews into a funfair of jokes and truthful statements, and films into masterpieces. And if the film in question deals, like “Le Otto Montagne”, with the theme of male friendship, you understand that success is guaranteed. "The story passes through the filter of our friendship, and this is an advantage," they agree in unison.

The protagonists of “Le Otto Montagne” are in fact Pietro (Marinelli), a city boy, and Bruno (Borghi), the last child of a remote mountain village. They met as children, thanks to a vacation of Pietro in the mountains of the Aosta Valley. They take a liking (almost) immediately, in a relationship made of silence, visceral affection and deep human understanding. Life will divide them and then make them meet again (raise your hand if you don't read a simile…). It’s therefore the story of a great friendship or, precisely, of a great brotherhood: "Unfortunately we live in a historical moment where feelings seem anachronistic: we are no longer used to talking about what we feel or, when we do, we are always moved by the ego, by respectability or indifference. In short, it’s almost never constructive. This film, on the other hand, is full of things rooted in truth and reality,” says Borghi.

Then, in reality, in “Le Otto Montagne” there is also much more: a look at the mountain "not as a tourist", as Borghi points out; the charm of silence that silences everything to make only the heart speak; and a vision of nature that aspires to call creation by name. "You in the city say ‘I like nature’, but nature is an abstract concept, like your passion for the mountains," Bruno will say at one point in the film. «Instead I say: I like pastures, meadows, mountains. Not, generically, nature». Greta, step aside.

In making the film, Borghi and Marinelli had a great time. Before starting shooting, Marinelli insisted on making a psycho-magical gesture: he and Borghi, together with three other people of the production, wanted to spend the night in the house that, in the film, is the home built by Pietro and Bruno. Practically a stone house, with a wooden roof, freezing to death and lost at over two thousand meters. There they got drunk, ate sausages ("I skinned them all myself," Borghi specifies) and then went to sleep. Without succeeding, of course. From then on it was a continuation of hikes, milkings of cows and horizons of meadows and sky. A pleasure. And they enjoyed it all, to the end.

*Ferragnez is a famous Italian couple, Fedez and Chiara Ferragni

*Coatto is a word of the Roman dialect that indicates a person with coarse and vulgar ways and characterized in particular by a strong dialectal speech and tacky clothing.

I've been seriously neglecting sharing headcanons for the newer Brawlers😔so here's some!:

Janet: she smokes weed, big time! She's responsible about it though. Never keeps it in the house, and never close to a show. She occasionally takes it with Fang, but her favorite activity is flying while high. It feels amazing! (based from her voice lines.) Stu is completely fine with this. Ruffs is conflicted! On one hand, he’s proud of her extremely responsible usage and applauds her. On the other, it’s risky and where is she getting it, isn’t it illegal--? He doesn’t press her too much though.

Gus: He has CIP. He can't feel the sensation of pain, which helps with his little delusion of not actually being a ghost/dead. His parents were very lenient with him, nice but carefree. As such, he’s been allowed to roam, as long as he returned before dark. One day, he just didn’t.

Buster: He has heterochromia! I think that’s neat. I’m still deciding on exactly what colors though! He’s also selectively mute. His aspiration to be an actor is a little stunted by this.,, but his fast friendship with fellow movie enthusiast Fang has re-boosted his confidence.

Otis: a little guy! He doesn’t really dislike anyone. He’s great friends with Ash! (Note: Ash does not consider themself to be on good terms with Otis. The little messmaker.) Otis doesn’t realize this. He also thinks anyone trying to catch him is playing.

Mandy: Certified Tsundere. She may love business, but she didn’t really want to be the face of her company. Great with money. She gets along with the other business owners of the park, and the more honest ones (Shelly, Ash) too. As long as one is reasonably down to earth enough, she can get along with them. She actually doesn’t mind Griff.

Chester: FtM trans. A silly guy! He and Mandy know each other so well. He decides to be Mandy’s outlet for stress. In the park, he’s either hated or loved! Mortis, Penny and Tick find him hilarious, for example! Ash, Mr. P and and Byron do not.

Gray: He/They/It pronouns sounds like it could fit him. He’s not mute. Miming is a lifestyle he chose! In one certain pocket headcanon I have though, he’s not allowed to talk about certain topics, which is monitored by the Starr Park Higher Ups, and he’s somebody’s father.

In another pocket headcanon, he's a sibling to two others. ;3c It’s only somewhat serious though, so don’t take that to heart! ...unless you want to! 👁️

#Brawl Stars #Headcanons #Candy Jar #Stuffs #by pocket hcs #those usually mean #'at the back of my mind. that if i can fit them in a story I will but it's not in my mainverse nor a necessity'#so it sits until i can fit it somewhere naturally.#perks of being a multishipper AND a multiverse enthusiast
