Odd Quirks:
Dislikes the immediate sensation of "wetness"
He does not enjoy the sensation of becoming immediately wet, especially having is head or face immediately wet or submerged before the lower half of his body. He never jumps into a lake or pool of his own volition unless his body is already coated in a layer of water droplets (when he has already gotten used to the sensation of being wet). Upon the first encounter with a body of water, he eases his way in, bit by bit, from the feet, upwards. The same rule applies even when washing. He turns on the shower head and quickly backs up against the wall at the end of the tub so that his feet and ankles are the first part of this body to get wet. Gradually, as he aclimates to the sensation of water, he paces forward, cups some water in his hands and splashes some on this uppers body until he feels comfortable enough with the feeling of water on his fur for him to turn back and walk backward into the stream water coming from the shower head (so that the water falls from the top of his head onto his face in place of his face being blasted by the stream) . As you can see, he is very prissy.
Unconventional eating habits
He uses utensils on foods that typically do not require them; pizza and fries for example. He doesn’t do this to stand out or for show as he does this even when alone. He just likes to keep his paws clean. Despite being prissy about water, He values cleanliness and how great it makes him feel, emotionally and mentally. He often washes his hands (impractically) various times in the middle of tasks, (instead of washing them once in the beginning, and washing them once more when done). This causes task to taks longer than they sometimes should. He hates the feeling of being dirty that much, perhaps even to a fault. Bottom line: Clean paws and clean eating habits make for a happy raton laveur. Typical raccoon behaviour.
Embarrassing habit
He has this embarrassing habit of unintentionally raising his pinky weakly and awkwardly when holding a cup that is either too big or too heavy (which is most times as his hands are small and he is rather meek). When he notices this, he shifts all his fingers towards the bottom of the cup and tucks his pinky underneath the cup, or he tucks it inward on the side of the cup, pointing towards himself. It’s something that happens involuntarily, particularly at the point when he first lifts his cup to drink. His pinky usually remains ‘raised’ after the first initial sip, and he typically doesn’t notice it’s raised until a few sips in or until someone points it out to him. It’s extremely embarrassing whenever it is noticed. He doesn’t want to come off as ostentatious. He wonders why he has this habit as he didn’t seem to do this as a cub. Presumably, his body does it subconsciously as a way to counteract the cup’s heaviness or cumbersomeness.
Death positive
He is rather morbid by most other critter’s accounts. Sometimes he enjoys laying down for a bit and pretending he is at his funeral and likes to envision what the service would be like. The colors used , the music played, the smells of the flowers displayed and incense burned, the casket used. He doesn’t plan on dying, nor is he suicidal. He just has a fascination with death, its culture, its history and the rituals that surround it. He thinks it’s interesting how different cultures around the world interpret death and react to it. He has his funeral planned out. Lying in silence (or with music) to envision his funeral is something that deeply comforting to him and meditative. He wishes more people took the time to do this and thinks that it helps him appreciate life more. He thinks everyone is deserving of a ‘good death’. One in which they themselves are in control of what exactly happens after they pass on with their body and possessions, nobody else. He is content in knowing that he has complete control over the only thing in his life that is certain. There are no questions or uncertainties for him apart from when that day may come, which he is not concerned about in the slightest. He believes in the Death Positive Movement .
