This is going to be long, so buckle up.
•he's pale af but he's got this ABSURDLY strong natural blush.
•Horace thinks it makes him look like a sunburned fairy. 🧚🏼♂️
•horace has this rlly old video on his phone of Enoch with his hair dyed hot pink and he's wearing a white crop top bcs he lost a dare.
•Horace even did his makeup.
•ppl were in tears when he sat down at the table
•but when he was a kid, he was suuuuuuper tanned.
•But his peculiarity kinda drains his own energy and gives it to the dead ppl, so he looks like a skeleton.
•he can tan if he wants to, but most of the time he just sunburns.
•he has so many scars it's unreal. And he never wears short sleeved clothes to show them off bcs to him it's embarrassing.
•he's got the one on his throat where his dad was drunk and pissed (scalpel)
•he has the one on his arm, also from when his dad was drunk and pissed (his dad broke a whiskey bottle on his arm)
•he used to cut alot but Horace showed him henna ink and he randomly puts lil butterflies all over himself.
•he also has the one on his shoulder where a hollow got him in his old loop, hence why he moved
•and the one over his eye where Victor's hollow got him.
•also!!! He doesn't have a heartbeat.
•I mean he does, but it's really really really really slow and spaced out.
•Horace almost hyperventilated when Enoch fell asleep on his shoulder and he couldn't hear his heartbeat.
•Horace was freaking out and Enoch opens his eye and says: "calm down and breathe normally, I'm trying to sleep."
•and then Horace freaks out bcs his crush is sleeping on his shoulder and eventually Enoch just wraps his arms around Horace while he's asleep and that calms Horace down a bit
•anyway
•he is tooooooootaly NOT soft.
•tooooooooootaly DOESN'T have a small cat homunculi that he made with Horace.
•tooooooooootaly DOESN'T love it when someone tries to make him smile or laugh
•who am I kidding.
•he fuccing loves it.
•all of it.
•he didn't tell anyone about his birthday bcs to him it's celebrating a mistake.
•victor asked legit the DAY AFTER
•cue emergency surprise birthday party.
•ok, family stuff.
•Enoch was the youngest boy in his family of thirteen ppl.
•not counting aunts and uncles and grand parents.
•he had a baby sister, who was the youngest and the only girl
•esmè reminded him of her, which was why he showed her his homunculi
•he loved his sis with all his heart
•it broke him tho when she died.
•she had pneumonia, and his family was rlly poor and couldn't afford a doctor.
•her last words were her asking Enoch if he was going to go to heaven with her.
•damn I'm crying just writing this.
•but he told her yes.
•and tried to act on his word the next day.
•his mom found him just in time tho.
•he still has the scars where he slit his wrists.
•y'all idk when his birthday is.
•I've been so sure the whole time I've been in the fandom that it was December 3, but apparently it's March 12. But then it's supposed to be August 26 on the peculiar calendar when I checked The Peculiar Children Wiki.
•I don't fuccing know anymore 😭
•oh and also!!
•when he was a kid, he was bored one day and started making homunculi
•to him, they were alive.
•legit didn't even realize they were actually alive until his mom walked in on him playing with them.
•it was ok tho.
•bcs she was peculiar too.
•and don't nobody come after me in the comments saying that isn't possible.
•the book says that it's rare for a peculiar child to be born to a peculiar parent.
•it's rare, but it happens.
Comment "Cats are cute" if you're still reading this crap.
•anyway
•he had a twin bro.
•But boi they weren't identical.
•Enoch was smol and pale and blonde.
•his bro was tall and dark and black haired.
•but they loved each other
•brotherly love, y'all. Enorace is a thing, ya know.
•but on a totally unrelated note, when his dad found out about his peculiarity, he was PISSED.
•locked Enoch in the basement for a week.
•tried to slit Enoch's throat.
•amazes everyone why he's still alive bcs that scar is DEEP
•oh and his mom was killed while Enoch was locked in the basement.
•she was cremated.
•that lil bag of grave dust Enoch had in hollow city?
•some of her ashes
•but he was obviously mama's boy.
•she was super overprotective and wouldn't let him play on that really cool swing his bro's made in the barn.
•anyway he is COVERED in freckles.
•some are dusty lil ones
•others are like beauty marks.
•he and his brothers had the time of their lives trying to play connect the dots with his freckles.
•it was hilarious when Miss P walked in on him, Victor, and Horace doing it.
•that was before Enoch was rlly depressed.
•it IS Olive and Claire's favorite thing to do when they're bored.
•only if Enoch is in a good mood tho.
•but horace will do it and Enoch won't have a CLUE.
•one time, Enoch woke up with half a dozen constellations Sharpied on his back and didn't know until Millard saw the top of the Hercules one Horace made on the back of Enoch's neck at breakfast.
•he also rlly rlly rlly loves fancy food bcs his family couldn't afford it when he was a kid
•it makes him sick tho
•but he don't care.
•he cooks fantabulous pancakes at three in the morning.
•doesn't let anyone eat any tho.
•except Horace
•and Miss P
•but you can't say that the other kids haven't eaten some behind his back.
•he can also make reaaaaaally good brownies.
•he is also trans.
•idk why, he just is.
•he never told anyone until he found out that in the modern world, being trans was actually really accepted.
•so he plucked up the courage to tell everyone and Horace was so proud bcs he was the only one that knew and omg my bf is opening up!
•also he fell asleep for a full week one time.
•there's a name for the condition but I'm too lazy to consult Google and/or YouTube.
•anyway nobody believed him when he said he was sleeping and couldn't participate in his lessons.
•but everyone was hella suspicious of him when they first met him.
•mostly bcs of his eyes and the fact that they didn't match.
•that and he was fuccing grumpy as hell.
•also he always had blood stains on his clothes.
•also, he was rlly polite and quiet as a kid, but his mom made him stay inside a lot so he had a lot of pent up energy and that's when he got rlly wild
•one minute he'd be calm and adorable and the next he was a motherfucking gremlin.
•he has this phobia of doctors.
•he was restrained as a kid because he kept running away when he had to be examined
•its because he hates needles and medicine and stuff like that.
•that's why he refused to let anyone touch his injures whenever he got hurt.
•except Mother Dust bcs his broken leg hurt like hell.
•he's also got a lot of conditions and disorders.
•so...
•he...
•has...
•a...
•SERVICE DOG!!
•she's a mastiff and Enoch loves her sosososo much
•she's so gentle and sweet and everyone loves her.
•her name is Hollie
•she's beautiful and so soft and cuddly.
•he's also hella clumsy.
•he'll trip over his own feet and lay on the floor for six hours consulting his life decisions.
•it's ridiculous.
Hope you guys enjoyed this long Enoch chapter thingy, bcs it took two days to write. 😂 anyway, if you have any suggestions for the next chapter, comment. I also edited the character appearances chapter, but it's not much. Just changed like three things. Btw, I'm also going to edit the wings au chapter I did bcs I'm unimpressed with myself.
