Modern AU! Leatherface Headcannons
Probably just gonna do Bubba first 😼 and then Thomas.
- Now that online shopping is a thing, Bubba can order materials for her arts and crafts, (non human) masks and maybe a few wigs, for their mask collection, and some makeup!
- Bubba is a little fashionista, so there’s gonna be online shopping galore! Pretty floral dress? BUYING IT! Cute shoes? BUYING IT! New tuxedo? BUYING IT! He doesn’t bother to check the sizes, they don’t actually know their size, so most likely some of it doesn’t even fit. Eventually Drayton would have to chastise Bubba for wasting so much money on clothes. Money doesn’t grow on trees Bubba!!!
-Bubba can’t really step out into civilisation, it would be too overwhelming for them, plus Drayton wouldn’t trust ANYONE, with his truck. So Bubba is usually just inside the house or walking around near his house. So online shops and videos really help her feel like she’s not alone.
-Bubba feels more in tune with her feminine self then her masculine self, hence the pretty lady and granny masks. She prefers she/her pronouns but doesn’t mind he/they. Not like they other sawyers really care all that much, unfortunately for Bubba.
-Don’t let Bubba on the internet for too long! Bubba can be easily influenced, and they once stumbled across some crazy, conspiracy videos, and Drayton (very aggravated) had to tell the frightened boy that aliens don’t exist and aren’t trying to turn their brain into mush. So Bubba has a two hour time limit on her iPad!!!
-Stimboards, and ASMR videos and sensory bins! The sounds of crunching, squishing, popping and the feeling of grainy, squishy, hard and soft things, put Bubba at ease. It’s one thing Bubba can distract themselves with, instead of hearing yelling and being overwhelmed by everyone. Bubba made herself a bin with her arts and crafts, when she had found videos about them on her feed.
-Bubba is still the clueless soul she is, but because of the internet, it’s kind of made her a little bit more aware. And instead of only knowing about killing, providing for the family, makeup, bones etc, her mind, knowledge and opinions have expanded.
-The family aren’t made of money, which is why they turned to cannibalism, as a way to put food on the table. So the only expensive gift Bubba received, was an old, second-hand iPad, that Drayton may or may not have took from one of the victims.
-Digital art? WOW! Bubba loves drawing on her iPad, she’s horrible at it, but that won’t deter her from drawing a butterfly, or a flower, or a detailed drawing of the corpse of one of his victims. 😸 last part was a joke, but because Bubba is literally a child trapped in a ruthless killers body, it wouldn’t be surprising.
-Her perverted older brothers had sultry porno magazines lurking around, that he’d occasionally take a sneak peak in, and cover his eyes and run away, squealing in excitement and nervousness at the sight of boobies. However, they never knew a website dedicated to boobs and butts existed! Catching Nubbins in the act of watching that content, she got curious and wanted to search it up and see. She later got questioned by Drayton as to why her search history is filled with: ‘bobs’ ‘ass’ ‘secks’ ‘peanits’.
-YouTube shorts watcher.. don’t flame her, it’s just easy watchable content! She loves watching the short cooking videos, it’s the best. But it gives her the munchies…
-As Bubba has more materials, then just skin and bones, the house looks a little more homely. Random colourful fabrics just placed, in every nook, and cranny, giving it a pop of colour. Bubba also learned how to knit, through videos, and now can make knitted jumpers and cushion cases!
-Noise Cancelling headphones! Really helpful when she doesn’t want to deal with her brothers’ bullshit. Also great to block out any unwanted noise that’ll distress and anger Bubba.
-Bubba has a plethora of plushies, some old, some new, some big and some small. All cheep however, money doesn’t grow on trees Bubba!!! They help him feel accompanied during the night, plus they’re just so darn cute! She named the ugly one Drayton, the one with a ripped hole in its head Chop-Top, and the dirty one Nubbins, the brothers don’t know that however. Bubba wouldn’t want to upset anyone so they don’t tell them.
I had fun writing this lol 😸
