also i keep thinking about ‘’crow’s’’ bedroom in kurt’s apartment. like, he doesn’t ‘live’ there any more, but he doesn’t really live anywhere. ‘’home’’ is with nomi, of course, but he’s quite like a house-cat in that he comes and goes as he pleases. sometimes he doesn’t stay at either of those places; he’ll crash with workmates or other members of the noughts that he’s on good terms with--
-- anyways. it’s not a big room or anything, quite boxy really, but he has a lot of stuff in it, and a lot of adorably characteristic stuff at that. obviously along the far wall are the tanks that kurt ( after bribing his landlord with a large sum of cash lmao ) had installed, and they have a variety of fish in them. he has a tank of just clownfish as well, and he takes care of them the best. he cares about all of his aquarium of course, but they’re special to him. they also have lighting installed, but coloured, so he often just has the tanks’ lights on so his room is always swathed in cool colours like blues and reds and purples ( and i also have the adorable headcanon that he’ll sometimes change them depending on the game he’s playing, like fe will have purple and hollow knight will have blue and rayman will have gold / orange and so on ). one tanks has his pet turtle frankie in, and another still hosts a majority of the goldfish he saved with echo at the fair. at either side of these tanks, he has two cylindrical lamp things, quite like lava lamps, but instead of the blobs they have little jellyfish in them ( obviously not real ones but still ). they’re quite tall too so they don’t look ridiculous next to his big wall of fish.
then, unpredictably, he has a bookcase. the bottom shelf is used for storing physical copies of videogames and his switch / 2ds xl when he’s not using them. chargers and the switch’s dock and stuff can also be found there. the second to last and second shelves are full of books. most, he has read. crow isn’t an avid reader but he does it sometimes and it’s my fucking kink to just envision him sitting there with a book. the top shelf hosts some of his ‘less important’ plushies. ones he got because they were cute or he saw it and wanted it in the moment. at the very end of this long line of stuffies is a little tin. nobody except him knows what’s in there, and it has a tiny little padlock on it to keep it from being opened. the key is not there with it, and he doesn’t carry it, so it’s to be assumed that it’s that way because crow doesn’t want it to be opened. on top of the bookcase, there’s a modest little cooler and a little tv, which he can move when he wants to play videogames on it.
his bed is always fucking pristine unless he’s been sitting on it tbh. always has nice sheets, and it always smells goddamn divine, like him. he probably changes his sheets every week because of his weird thing with both perfectionism and not being able to sleep on ‘’’’’’dirty’’’’’’’ sheets because of his time in the pen. if he doesn’t change it, he does actually have worse nightmares than usual. on the bed near his pillow are his super important plushies. these can alternate. his rowlet, fatty, and his dusty plush are the current constants up there as well as clarence the clownfish. he also always has a really soft blanket at the bottom of his bed just in case. most of his plushies have a home in his closet, honestly, but organised, so he knows where everything is, but he has a few more ‘’important’’ ones on his windowsill, behind the curtain. these are the detective pikachu plushies avery got him, jelly-belly the jellyfish, which avery also got him, and a little reversible octopus plushie ( he always keeps it on the ‘’angry’’ face, though sometimes if you’re lucky you’ll catch him playing with it and giggling-- ). nobody but crow knows who he received that from.
and the little bedside table gets me man. there’s nothing remarkable about it but just thinking about this tired boy keeping his medication on there, as well as a clock and his phone, and his tags when he showers, it’s just so adorable to me for some reason, idk--
oop, just as a little additional: he has a hook on the back of his door, where he hangs that stupid-ass king-robe-looking-dressing-gown he got as a gag gift ( normally he throws out gag gifts in people’s faces but this one does make him feel fucking regal so he uses it unironically lmaooo ) and a rucksack. the rucksack he uses whenever he’s moving between places. he packs a change of clothes, his games, and a plushie or two. as of now, the plushie that always goes with him between houses is dusty.
it sounds like a lot of stuff honestly, but most of his belongings are stuffed animals, ahahaha, and it’s all perfectly arranged to fill this little room with character and adorableness. though he is quite nomadic in terms of living arrangements, he always keeps the room locked when he isn’t there, suggesting some level of possessiveness over it, and perhaps even a hint of distrust as he feels the need to seal the room that reveals him the most, as a person, away when he isn’t there to govern it. all in all, it’s a really nice space, and you’re lucky if you’re let in because he’s selfish, so he prefers to keep his things for himself. it’s also a vast contrast from the apartment he used to have, which was barren and empty, so that makes me want to cry as well phah--
