The Jackbox hosts and how they fidget

So i realized overnight that the hosts of the Jackbox Party Packs probably fidget, they’re all a bunch of anxiety-ridden shit stains so they defiantly need something to keep them somewhat saine (Plus Schmitty canonically fidgets with keys). I personally hate fidget toys (i tried but i don’t get how i’m suppose to enjoy messing with stuff if it isn’t productive), i just like seeing things getting organized.

So [REDACTED] definitely fidgets with butterfly knives, it’s both dangerous and really great for occupying your hands when doing something else (because it’s not distracting, you would defiantly end up cutting yourself if you fidget with butterfly knives). Also Pop its, they’re a non distracting hand fidget, very symmetrical and even (most of the time) and make a nice pop sound every time you press the buttons (he doesn’t bring them to work since he doesn’t want people stealing them). Probably not a fan of Dimpls™ since the buttons aren’t aligned the same way as a Pop it.

Cookie probably teethes on teething rings when he’s getting REAL pissy at the staff so he wouldn’t start biting them (because he probably would let’s be real here). Also has a pacifier on his key chain to help relieve stress and he will assure you loudly and defensively that he’s NOT an adult baby and if he doesn’t have it he would get REAL stressed and break his teething ring from how hard he’s biting and eventually bite some poor intern in the neck or something else vital.

Schmitty fidgets with keys (like we’ve established) since they make a nice metallic jingle, it is very distracting for him though so he can’t really fidget with them during work. He also occasionally fidgets with Groan tubes (light up ones preferably), since he enjoys the DWWUUUUP sound they make when you rotate them (can’t use them during work for the same reason as the keys). He is allowed to bring liquid sensory timers and would prioritize using a sand timer over a digital timer if he can.

Glargan adores fidgeting with magnetic rings (he gets them exclusively in neon colors) and love trailing them across his suit and helmet. Also loves messing around with an arm Slinky and a Fushigi ball (it works better in Zero gravity, who’d of thunk it?). He also thinks zippers are cool shit and always likes fidgeting with them when he sports them at the store.

Fidget spinners. Todd, of course, has them. He had a handful of special spinners but he’s more of a purist when it comes to fidget spinners and fidget spinner collecting. He also enjoys marble meshes (only fidgets with them in private however). Has two mini spinner and will not buy another one because he regretted buying a second one. Fidgets a lot with controlers and keyboards already.

Felicia doesn’t fidget. As for she has no need for it.

Dot! (Drawful host) loves stress balls! Not the foam ones, ones with spikes or any shaggy ones, but like she likes Orbeez™ stress balls, DNA balls, fruit stress balls and some large Moj Moj jelly squishes. She cuts the mesh of her stress balls. A fan of pop tubes and monkey noodles as well. (Also has a fuzzy Tangle Jr.™ she occasionally used when she’s excited.) Doesn’t like NeeDoh™ stress balls, Kinetic sand™ or slow rising squishes. Has a lot of DIY fidget toys she made with Dixie (her favorite is her DIY Dimpls™)

Dixie (Dictionarium host) is a squishy addict. Has a couple DIY fidget toys she made with Dot! a couple times (her favorite is her DIY bike chains). She knaws on a chew tube while writing so she doesn’t chew through her pencils and pens. Has fidget rings but they aren’t magnetic like Glargan’s. She prefers foam stress balls (surprisingly) over all other types of stress balls and manipulates Kinetic sand™ when she has some free time. Also owns a Fidget pad she uses in waiting rooms and a magic puzzle ball she uses when she takes public transportation.

And finally Greg likes most fidgets that can be fidgeted with one hand and fidgets with then when he’s on breaks or at home.

I’ll do a part two eventually with some non host characters sprinkled in for funsies.
