• Loves games and bets (arguably cheats tho)
• Lowkey pouts when scolded
• Loves gymnastics
• It was pointed out before, but I’ll say again because it’s like 70% of who he is: likes to make people laugh (and also happy)
• Says if he has to compare everything with fighting nazis he’ll never get to complain about anything, so he never compares stuff to nazis because he wants to complain damnit 
• CUDDLY AF

• he’s “too busy taking care of everyone else to do it for himself” according to his sister
• thinks people he loves are better off away from him (they’re not)
• texts with Steve when they’re bored
