paperclip (my oc) and testimony (belonging to auxiekitty) go dumpster diving at the goodwill

auxiekitty inspired me to draw this by sending me an ask on tumblr haha! i mentioned him in a post and auxie said "PLS tell me more abt paperclip he looks like he chews on live wires for stimulating electrical fun" and auxie is CORRECT

paperclip runs a pawn shop/thrift store type place called "one man's trash." he partially stocks this store through the usual means (consignment, estate sales, etc) but most of his stock comes from dumpster diving and wandering through the junkyard. he has a list of favorite dumpsters around town

he has multiple ear piercings that i usually forget to draw and always pulls his hair back into a ponytail. he almost exclusively wears black v-neck t-shirts also. listens to a lot of nine inch nails. he doesn't explore often when it comes to his musical or fashion taste, but he'll try anything once, and tbh he'll try almost anything twice if a friend talks him into it

things paperclip has done on a dare:

- eaten a rock (from the ground)
- slashed a cop's tires
- stacked 8 textbooks on top of his head
- climbed a modern art statue (40 feet tall) so he could yell at a seagull
- given himself an ear piercing (got infected)

things paperclip has done of his own accord with no outside influence:

- licked a battery to know what electricity tastes like (the answer is that electricity tastes like pain which tastes mostly like blood)
- thrown a nintendo 64 out a third-story window to see what would happen (it worked fine afterwards)
- burned the entirety of ouran highschool hostclub on several dvds and watched them until the discs died
- eaten straight salt (doctors hate him)
