soda with adhd. knee always bouncing, music always playing to keep his brain appropriately engaged. he’s never been able to sleep, he normally stays awake after pony wakes up from a nightmare just thinking. everyone always calls him the one that can’t stop talking, sometimes he wishes he could just so they’d leave him alone about it.

two-bit with an addictive personality. he’s always been that way, but it started when he was little and really liked tv shows. he cares so much, he cares too much. as he got older, he started smoking, started drinking, and he could never stop. not even if he wanted to, not even if he tried.
