Seriously. Get out of my head.

Trigger warning for talk of suicide and general depression

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say dorksidefiker probably inspired all of these. She gives me many Jono feels.

When Jono was 12, he begged his parents for a guitar. They dismissed the idea as ‘pure frivolity’ then retreated to their summer home. So, Jono scrimped and saved his pennies and, 8 months later, was able to afford a very well worn Epiphone. The action was horrible and the strings made his fingers bleed. He loved it.

Jono didn’t find out Gayle was ‘Lady Edgerton’ until the third date. He promptly accused her of slumming it in typical indignant Jono fashion. He still wonders why she forgave him.

Jono Starsmore has attempted suicide twice in his short life. The first was when he was 16 and feeling particularly useless. He swallowed a fist full of his mother’s pills. His father found him and he had to have his stomach pumped. The second occasion was at The Massachusetts Academy. The only one who knew was Angelo and he’d seethed and punched Jono square in the nose when he found out. It hurt far more than carving into his wrists had.

After suicide attempt number 1, Jono’s parents had threatened to have him committed. He managed to  talk them down by agreeing to see a therapist. His name was Howard and Jono hated him. He spent the first month of therapy in a staring contest with the man. Eventually, Jono decided to just lie. That was its own form of entertainment.

Jono is, primarily, a self taught musician, though he did learn a few things busking with Julian. Julian was middle aged, unwashed and, presumably, homeless. Jono couldn’t remember a time when Julian wasn’t inebriated but, he was a hell of a guitar player.

 When Angelo died Jono kept his engraved Zippo lighter and his crucifix. They’re in the top drawer of his dresser.

I forgot about these…

Idea looked better in my head. I like being able to see his busted up ribs, theoretically. Not sure Jono would go in for a look that made him feel even more freakish but, eh, you never know until you try.

Actually I think this kind of contraption could totally work. It’s a fantastic idea!

Thanks, darlin’! He could even have actual facial features molded on there but I don’t think I’m good enough of an artist to draw what’s knocking around in my head.

‘Explain t’me how the mall’s suppose to make me less depressed’

‘I’ll take you to Hot Topic.You can buy some more of those ridiculous black rubber bracelets’

‘…I hate you’

They banter in my head like this all day long. I may have a medical condition.

This is going to be one of those days where I just search through my own tags. Sorry about that.

who is on the poster?

Tom Waits! I *might* have passed my love of him onto Jono.

LMFAO I have rped Jono for a number of years now, and this headcanon has evolved and changed and sometimes I laugh because it’s so melodramatic. That makes me horribly mean, I know 😉

But I guess my line of thinking is this: back when I was a baby college student and getting into health care, we were doing lots of bio labs on human functions and sensations (urine, temperature, nerves, autopsies, that kind of thing) and we once did this test on our nerves that included pain, heat, cold, and nothingness. The way our nerves bundle, you can sometimes only feel one sensation at a time in certain areas, but other times you are sensitive to more than one. It was kind of neat, actually! They are all separate sensations that are felt.

We know Jono can feel pain because he’s gotten his arse kicked a number of times now, lol. We also know that he can experience pleasure because…well, why else would he have had sex with Sugar (yeah, he was still emo about it, but he obviously enjoyed the intimacy or else wouldn’t have stuck around to be blatantly used).

So I think there’s definitely some chance of feeling temperature there as well! Problem is, he doesn’t have proper circulation so I doubt there are often times when he is hot (if ever). Hell, if he got hot he would have had many more problems in that issue where they were stranded on the ocean or w/e and Ange was practically melting hahaha. Technically, his body is a husk that sort of contains his psychic entity-ness. However, it does prove to have LIMITED human function in various areas, so I like to play with that!

I also liked to pretend that the reason his parents always send him socks for Christmas is because he constantly whines about his feet being cold (same reason he would wear gloves all the time, too; your limbs are peripheral and the furthest away from the body’s trunk and therefore most sensitive to temperature sensations). I’ve expanded on that in writing before where basically his buddies just spoil him with sweaters, socks, and blankets for Christmas and birthdays. 🙂

(though, to be honest, the dead/nothingness idea really intrigues me too and I think that’s got some HUGELY interesting psychology attached to it!)

Ooooh. I like.

I have a crush on Dr. Nemesis and his wits. 

I’m sorry Luis, but Dr. Nemesis’ one true love is coffee.
