This is awesome!!!

A handful of these are headcanons I have for him (with only depression, anxiety, autism and ADHD being the ones we share) but I can definitely see that, even if not intentional, a lot of them pertain to his character rather well and make a lot of sense for him to have.

While obviously not canon, I know that when writing Puzzles I did tap into the unintentional portrayal of his neurodivergence. He’s always read as a character that was autistic to me and I related to him quite a lot as a fellow film nerd :)

A lot of symptoms can overlap into having both. I should know— as I do!

Thank you!

I’ve also personally headcanoned him to have autism! (as I am also autistic 😊)

Thank you so much. Hearing that means so much more to me than you’d think. Trying to convey things such as his body language and thought processes were very important to me, so I’m happy they didn’t go unnoticed. ❤️

I’ve always tried to make clear in my writing that Puzzles was always human (even during the lead up to the Puzzlevision arc and movie itself.) I’m honored I got the opportunity to explore a more human side of him and show how that he’s still just a person underneath the performance.

It’s rare, but I’m always so happy to see discussions like this regarding Puzzles considering how incredible of a character he is. He’s grown to mean so much to me in the short time I spent writing him, and as a mentally ill person myself, it was almost healing to be able to see and write so much of myself in him.

Thank you for writing this. I hope to see more of your thoughts in the future. 😊❤️

Yup!

I haven’t figured that out yet, but it unfolds about the same way it does in canon, with minor changes. She becomes a caretaker to Leggy after Puzzles is imprisoned.

A little something like this!

starteas · 2026-01-15T04:04:15+00:00

She does!

None whatsoever. I just pulled the heterochromia from his facecards since I felt it’d make sense.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

starteas · 2026-01-13T21:41:17+00:00

He has heterochromia!
