[Still checks on Kent and Ness’s statuses, my dumb boys]

every time they mention a freelancer i panic a little inside because Rhode and Ada HAVE A BAKERY AND TWO SONS DAMMIT DON’T RUIN THIS FOR THEM

[imaginaryfreelancers]

Agents Alaska, Arizona, and Alabama are confirmed KIA as of rvb15

[cityjacketog]

i once saw an rvb headcanon that said that project freelancer started out with all 50 states and then only the last ten (york, carolina, north, south, maine, washington, wyoming, conneticut, florida, and tex) survived, causing a 80% fatality rate. but that just doesn’t make sense. tex is clearly new, even though the program seems to be at least a year old. and they mentioned her name being reserved. was it reserved from the beginning? or only recently? and wash was clearly a newbie. he knew nothing about prior freelancers and was pretty rookie-ish

my original headcanon had been that those guys were just the top ten and had their own ship and were on their own team away from the other 40 states but now i’m thinking “what if that one person was right? what if every other freelancer died?”

so, if that’s true, what happened to them? what happened to all the other forty freelancers? how do you lose forty people within like one or two fucking years?

is our current washington the original one? or is he the second wash to come around? or the third? how many freelancers have died just to be replaced within a few days by a new person wearing their title? wearing their armor?

and does this mean that the ten we see AREN’T the best of the best? are they just the only ones left? was there a better lockpick than york? a better sniper than north? was there anybody that bested carolina in hand-to-hand combat before they died?

and i think the worst part is how many freelancers watched each other die. did maine start out nice and talkative and then as more and more of his friends died horrible, painful deaths in front of him on the battlefield he became cold and silent?

did york and north have another goofy buddy before wash who was really chipper about everything? who had a smile like the sun was shining and then one day they’re bleeding from their mouth as their lungs collapse in on themselves because they got shot five times in the chest and every breath aches?

when they spoke the name ‘washington’ did they think about an old friend who went by that name before too?

did carolina have a friend or even a sister or just someone really close to her that we never knew about who died with a slit throat?

what the fuck happened with the original 50

[imaginaryfreelancers]

(general freelancer question) before they were freelancers, do you think that they were actual in the army (as privates and lieutenants) before being sent to be in project freelancer? or were they sent to be in project freelancer straight out of basic?

my personal headcanon is that all the freelancers served in the UNSC for at least a little while before being selected for PFL based on their skills, and for each agent that amount of time is different. SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

reblogging for myself because i didn't talk about any of the imaginary ones HAHAHAH

anyway the two freelancers i've kind of adopted are Rhode Island and Nevada, and in both their cases they were serving in the UNSC and were chosen for their skills. in his case, he had already served his original 4 years and re-enlisted, while in her case she was still pretty early in her UNSC career.

i could see other people headcanoning that other freelancers could have been picked as civilians though. can't think of anyone that has offhand.

wash’s time served is the shortest in my headcanon and you can tell that by how naive he is in the s9 and 10 flashbacks versus how bitter he is in s10’s present day. he’s the baby of the freelancers for sure.

york, wyoming, and ct all fall into the middle. south probably joined at the same time as north, seeing they’re twins, but he’s clearly the better soldier - she’s a good fighter but she’s got a terrible temper and a bad attitude towards authority. she didn’t rise in the ranks like he did and frankly i think the only reason she was picked for PFL was because they wanted to see what happened when one twin was given an AI while the other wasn’t (this is alluded to early in the series).

[missarrowrunner]

Twin wants to give Agent Ohio a name. Her name is “Elizabeth Miller” or something like that. Her friends from Basic would call her “Em” because of her initials. Her dad used to call her “Little Bit” and her mom called her “Lizzy.” I can see some of the Freelancers call her “Miller” or “Beth” and Agent Michigan (or anyone who says “Elizabeth” too fast) would call her “Little Bit” and she’d throw a fit like CT.

[missarrowrunner]

Imagine the Freelancers lockers with little pictures of their family/pets/friends before they joined, pictures of them with other Freelancers goofing around, and personal stuff.

Mostly going off of Wash’s locker. Tex would still have barely anything within hers.

I tried drawing something 2 days ago, but this is all I could get down without hating it.

Rhode would definitely make cupcakes and cookies and candies and who knows what other crap awwwww

[imaginaryfreelancers]

Xeno and I were texting about freelancers and how we felt it was important that the imaginary ones get happy endings because the canon ones never did

like Rhode and Ada and their kids and the bakery

and I asked her about Cali (since she adopted him) and she said she didn't know

I said I thought that he would've just melted away, no one was really sure what happened because he is the master of disguise and all

of all the freelancers that wished they could disappear he was the only one that could and did

and Rhode was sad because they were close and he only ever made lemon cupcakes for the bakery once in a while because they reminded him of how much they missed him

but one day, a goofy looking man in a trenchcoat and hat and Wyoming-sized mustache walks in and asks for them with a wink

and Rhode just stares at him as he packs up his order and gives him his change

neither of them say anything and they're silent for a moment, and then finally Rhode gives him a nod, and the stranger turns to leave

and Rhode added the lemon cupcakes to the main recipe book after that hoping he'd see him again

and wondered how many times he'd been in the damn bakery before he noticed

rhode getting cali and laughing forever as he buys a clown makeup kit but getting owned when cali does an evil clown disguise the following spring for a masquerade party infiltration mission

kent and ness frowning loudly when they realize they got each other but cheering when they realized they both got each other the same gift that they both really wanted (and may have bought with the intent to borrow at some point)

ARGH THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA WHY DID MY BRAIN FAIL
