The One With The Pidgeons Please - Tumblr Posts
RIFF HEADCANONS !!
riff is a horrible person and i do not condone his actions but mike's portrayal has made me empathized with the goddamn character and i cannot stop thinking about this headcanons so here you go.
ALSO FIRST HEADCANON I SAW IT SOMEWHERE ON TUMBLR BUT I CANNOT FIND WHO DID IT IM SORRY SO CREDS TO THEM THANK YOU FOR IT.
warnings: swearing (in multiple languages).
riff is terrified of pigeons
that was one of the most hilarious conversations with tony.
"hey- are you okay?"
"it's the pigeons man"
"...the what?"
"THE FUCKING PIDGEONS, TONY"
he can't do math.
and he can't read clocks. like,,, he always ask what time is it and if someone points at the clock instead of actually telling him, he gets pretty upset.
greatest climber. used to climb buildings and stuff just for fun.
dropout from school.
he is bad with kids. not purposefully, he is just not a natural. so then he'll be purposely mean with kids.
he tugs at the old necklace he has like a lot, even when he is not nervous.
by the way, tony has the exact same necklace but he doesn't wear it anymore. it's hanged on one of his walls at doc's, though.
he whistles. a lot. constantly. especially when he is alone.
and he is always singing. he would eventually burst into a full singing and dancing show FOR ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING.
terrific dancer by the way. music floods through his veins.
i'm not saying he has anxiety but that's exactly what i'm saying.
the might tony went to jail, he cried himself to sleep.
riff gets extremely nervous during rumbles. like, his anxiety will actually be higher than his adrenaline tbh.
baby john is his favorite, apart from tony. he is just so quiet and calm, he loves him.
fingers guns and bad puns. IF YOU GOT IT YOU GOT IT.
HE IS IRISH.
he never got to meet his mom because she left. as in,,, abandoned him with his dad. he would like to meet her, though, but he know it's practically impossible.
that fake silver bracelet he has? the only thing left from his mom. and his blond hair has the same blond she has.
hates his dad.
with a passion.
seriously
worst you can do is tell him he looks/acts like his dad.
don't do that.
he'll literally punch you. hard. right on the face.
he is a pretty romantic boyfriend and he really doesn't try to hide it because he's not romantic in the type of saying embarrassing adorable full of sugar things.
he is romantic in hands all over their partner, taking them on cute though short and not expensive dates ( doc's, a walk, dancing or maybe even the cinema )
and god, he would like to have money just so he could spoil his partner. he gets kinda upset when he remember he can't, because he totally would.
give him a clip he'll give you a key.
for real
he doesn't remember when did he learn to do that but he knows how to do it so.
this reminds me,,,
he doesn't remember most of his childhood.
yknowasintraumareflex
that's why he always saying he looks to the future.
his teenage years and the parts with tony, he can remember that perfectly, though.
he used to be a crybaby.
riff cried for absolutely anything when he was a kid.
he had to get tough, though. and now the only people who had ever seen him cry are his father and tony.
he still cries to tony sometimes.
he is always talking and running his mouth but he likes to sit in silence and do nothing.
maybe that's why he likes baby john that much, because when riff is silence he doesn't push him to keep talking.
baby john lets him be.
he is good with cars. not as good as diesel, but still
i'm telling yall.
he is crazy about cars.
will shamelessly punch whoever says a motorcycle is better than a good car.
as he should
his favorite cars are fords
they are just so classy and cool.
mouthpiece is the only one who can get him to crack a smile when he is feeling down.
he knows italian and a bit of french because i have this headcanons in which the jets are a huge cultural treasure.
and when he was learning italian with action, who by the way is italian of course, he naturally learned the swearing first.
he spent a whole week randomly screaming italian swear words whenever he got mad - like when he got his toe stubbed - and upset.
"CAZZO"
"what the heck"
"ACCIDENTI VAFFANCULO, PORCA VACCA, STRONZO UGH!"
"action, what-"
"don't ask, tony, just don't"
