Primeval Headcanons Because I’m Bored
Also Because I Should Be Writing And I’m Not
Becker’s dyslexic.
Once Jess finds out she takes time after work to type all the old reports and files in a dyslexia-friendly font.
(Stephen’s dyslexic too, but no one knows except Cutter)
Emily is fascinated by cartoons and will sit for hours on end watching the old Disney classics.
She’s also a big fan of Horrible Histories (which Connor introduced her to and they watch together)
Both Matt and Abby name their plants. They are the only person the other trusts to look after them.
Jess used to take ballet lessons with her siblings. Matt’s mother taught him ballet. They have competitions for how long they can hold arabesques.
(An S Club 7 song played in 4x01, I think, which means they exist in the Primeverse, so…)
Abby knows all the words to all the S Club 7 songs. It is a common occurrence for people to approach her, thinking she is Hannah Spearrit.
Becker and Emily bake together. Sometimes, they make up their own recipes. Whatever concoction they make up is given to the team the next day.
The others are too scared to say anything but, “It’s great!”
They wait until Emily and Becker have turned to leave before turning and spitting whatever hellfire they’ve just eaten into the bin.
Connor’s autistic.
(I know that’s a popular one)
He’s somewhere on the high-functioning end of the spectrum, but that still means he’s autistic. And each and every member of the team will deck anyone who make fun of autism.
Except Jess. Jess will simply hack into their social medias and plant a few…interesting posts and updates.
(Another popular one)
Emily’s bisexual. She asks Abby about it, and Abby explains everything she knows about the LGBT+ community.
(One I haven’t seen so much but agree with)
Becker is also bi.
In the new ARC, there is a memorial wall.
The first name on it is Tom’s.
Connor cries when he sees it.
Sarah and Danny will have conversations in Latin for the simple pleasure of confusing the others.
Jess knows German and Spanish.
Becker’s fluent in French.
Connor’s brilliant as sign language.
Connor gives regular talks at the university Cutter used to lecture at.
Connor discovers those chicken nuggets/turkey nuggets shaped like dinosaurs. He likes to make them have battles.
Abby refuses to buy them after the Mashed Potato Massacre.
Abby always wins the Jenga battles. Because she has the best balance of them all.
Emily always wins the Uno wars. Because she is an excellent liar.
Becker always wins Just Dance. Always. And none of them have figured out how.
The brown jacket Abby wear in series four and five is Sarah’s. Abby found it in her locker.
Their first Christmas at the ARC, Cutter teaches them all Ceilidh dancing.
Sarah is a big believer in comfort food. When she finds someone upset, she will somehow produce a tub of Häagen-Dazs out of nowhere, accompanied by gingerbread.
When they re-enact musicals (which happens a lot) they always make Becker play Hugh Jackman’s parts.
Matt, Danny, Emily and Stephen can sing.
Cutter and Connor are okay at it.
Sarah, Becker and Abby can not sing at all.
One Christmas, Duncan wakes up to a present from Connor. There’s a letter in it, signed by a Sir James Lester. It contains a bio-tag, an ID badge, an employee tag stating that he is a Creature Source and, of course, a special badge. Several special badges.
