ruinsofxerxes:

holds his automail arm closer to himself when he’s feeling awkward or uncomfortable

absentmindedly plays with the joints of his automail fingers

is always leaning way tf over books when he reads or does research so he gets a sore neck a lot

will sleep anywhere so he 300% has fallen asleep in v weird positions quite frequently

pats his pocket a lot to make sure his watch is still there

taps his pen against his lips when he’s in concentration (and has definitely accidentally written on his face this way it’s ok ed we’ve all been there)

plays with the end of his braid when he’s bored (or is that just me sahfasfl)

also undoes and redoes his braid fairly often there is NO WAY it looks that immaculate at all times my braids are always slowly….slowly….coming undone

pulls at his gloves or his sleeves, especially when he’s around people who don’t know he has automail
