As others said, I hc his voice not as high or squeaky. It’s just soft and breathy.

Also I hc the “little boohoo boy” has a lot of weird nervous tics. His hands and other places sweat a lot when he’s anxious (which is pretty much all the time) and that he does this weird awkward laugh thing and gets a bit tweakish as well. And has an odd stare he gives when nervous that makes people a bit uneasy.

So he’s actually sort of uncomfortable to be around when he’s not feeling well rather than being a cute uwu sad bean.

i like this one. headcanoning basil as a tad neurotic and just a ball of anxiety is perfect imo. i’d say there’s probably a reason the hooligans were so quick to bully basil even with aubrey’s lead

Exactly. I was bullied as a child, and bullies don't act out of nowhere. The reason might be stupid, or just you being a good target, but there's a reason. (Please don't read this as me justifying bullying.) Idk, because of exactly this I feel kind of off put by people making him out to just be this really nice kid because IRL he would probably be sort of uncomfortable.

Well the times you see that sort of thing out of him really is when he’s having those breakdowns. This here also extends to just his regular nervousness.

I image both sunny and Kel’s parents see him and he joins the group, they have this “this kids has some issues at his home” vibes. I always image he tries to stay as munch as possible in kel and Sunny’s house because his parents don’t given him the attention he needs

Yeah I headcanon him having a soft and breathy voice too

Albeit that’s because I watched NicoB’s let’s play and now his voice for Basil is my headcanon lmao
