mariuspondmercy:

– only drinks warm water because cold water hurts his teeth

– Brushes teeth with warm water, too

– Was born with a foot deformation. The corrective surgery he had as a child enables him to walk on most days but always with a limp

– Has three different canes for all occasions and outfits

– Jehan once knitted little capes for the canes which Joly loves dearly.

– Can’t work in the ER because there’s too much hectic running and walking involved and Joly can’t do that with his limp

– So he works with kids now and loves it to bits

– Specialises in treatment for trans kids so they can get their hormones and all the medicinal support they need

– Drinks a lot of tea. So much. But only freshly brewed herbal tea. He doesn’t believe in tea out of a bag

– Oddly fascinated with lizards. He desperately wants one as a pet but Bossuet is terrified of them

– Allergic to cats and dogs. And most trees. Peanuts. Perfume in laundry detergent or soap. Raw apples (oh how many times he’s heard “an apple a day…” from his partners). Pineapple. White bread (well that only bloats his stomach a lot, which isn’t fun)

– Owns two cats, Luke and Leia, despite the allergy. He claims he isn’t allergic to his cats, only to other cats.

– Impressive collection of rubber duckies

– Once died his hair white-grey to look like a k-pop star. Bossuet was all over him for a week.

– His favourite pastime, besides his partners, is sprawling out on top of Grantaire while they listen to music.

– Medical marijuana? Hell yes!

– His favourite colour is a soft yellow.

– He has many many many socks and likes to show them off with his outfits. His favourite ones are a pair of dark green socks with cats on them.

– Loves Grantaire just so much and once got in a fist fight because someone insulted his friend.

– He has a Lego ship for the bath tub.

– Follows a strict diet of red meat once a week, fish once a week, chicken once a week, vegan at least once a week, vegetarian the rest of the week.

– Believes in ghosts. Or rather: believes that places might be haunted.

– He’s the initiator of the “kiss Bossuet’s bald head for good luck” tradition

– Likes going to the library with Marius to borrow books. Then they usually make tea at home and read in silence for a while.

– Flea markets with Jehan are a thing that needs to happen at least every second month. Even though Joly never buys anything because “you might know the story of the things but you don’t know their illnesses”. That applies to lamps, furniture, posters, art works and more.

– A proud Ravenclaw.

– Supplied every friend’s flat with a first aid kit and a copy of The Hobbit.

– At the beginning of each month, he and Combeferre buy a crossword puzzle book and try to finish the most puzzles by the end of it (without cheating – it’s about their honour after all). Whoever loses invites the other for coffee/tea

– He first met Bossuet in high school, when Joly and his parents moved closer to the sea. Bossuet was late that morning and got seated next to the new kid. He took one look at Joly and said: “Sometimes, I’m lucky.”

– But the romantic feelings didn’t come until years later. Joly didn’t even know he was into guys until he discovered he was into Bossuet. Which… took awhile to realise. Nah, they’re just friends, it’s normal that he lets Bossuet sleep over all the time. Well the sofa broke what was he supposed to do except share is bed? Yes the sofa is fixed now but it’s winter and Bossuet is always warm. Only when Musichetta was about to break up with him because she felt his heart wasn’t in their relationship did he realise. Well, that worked out for all of them.

– The tip is his nose is always cold.

– Once accidentally glued his eye shut with the glue you use for fake lashes.

– He has to sleep the furthest away from the door.

– Feng Shui is important to him.

– Has to have flowing water in every room.

– Makes some mean special brownies.

– Master of bullet journals.

– Meticulous notes, all colour-coded.

– He insists that all their bed lines are the same type. He doesn’t want to have three different sets of bed lines because he thinks they gotta show they belong together.

– Kinda scared of pandas.

– He always has peppermints on him and offers them to people constantly. That’s how he got Bossuet to quit smoking.

– Likes holding hands.

– Likes to kiss Musichetta’s nose because she always makes a cute noise when he does it.

– a lot more reckless than people believe he is.

– He would really love to marry his partners.

– Always chews on straws in drinks.

– Has a spinner ring. So helpful. He’s still thankful that Enjolras recommended him the ring. It’s sleek and black and he loves it.

– He has this dream that he’d love to travel all of Europe in a VW bus but he also knows it’s impossible because he would hate every second in that damn bus. Well, every morning without a proper bathroom.

– Cannot use public toilets or showers. Even bathrooms of friends are tricky.

– Absolutely hates geese.

– Loves historical fantasy novels.

– Loves Musichetta’s soft core erotica novels.

– Loves Musichetta.
