i think my hc was that he is only allowed to do solo hobbies and he isnt allowed to sing (harmony stuff means he's be too powerful as a singer and gopher wood wanted him to be a speaker, not a singer) which means drawing is a logical option... a little child who spends a lot of time studying naturally gravitates to staying with the books and doodling little things when he isnt doing anything else. always feels guilty about it too, as he gets older especially, regrets the time wasted that could have been put to better use. sunday's that tweet that's like "i never even thought dr pepper could have been a woman. maybe im a bad person"
