ricky bowen’s divergences:
so as stated on the page, my ricky is completely divergent following the end of season 1. this is just a little thing put together to give an idea of what those divergences look like, though in general i’m just very loosely following canon events. like - basically just the very basics of canon events. you can always message me or send in asks if you have more questions though.
(all mentions of nini here are @ofsweetness’ nini, these have all been talked about, decided upon and discussed with her)
season 2
- ricky and nini do not break up, nini does not go to yac
- ricky doesn’t play beast in the play, instead he plays chip. some of the other roles to correspond with this: ej plays beast, kourtney plays belle, ashlyn plays miss potts, seb plays cogsworth. (the dude who auditioned for the musical with ‘wondering’ plays gaston)
- ricky does not go to visit lynne for spring break, in my canon lynne and ricky’s relationship is slowly becoming very, very strained. i will eventually type a whole headcanon/meta type thing up on this, but a tl; dr version for now is that after ricky declines an invite to lynne and todd’s wedding, lynne spends several months not speaking to ricky. and it just eventually leads to a falling out between the two and ricky cutting off most contact with lynne
- obviously since ricky and nini don’t break up, nothing happens between ricky and lily, and most(?) ( i haven’t actually watched the scenes) of the opening night drama doesn’t happen with ricky - not playing beast
season 3
- nini does come to camp with the others
- ricky doesn’t play kristoff in the musical, instead he is a part of the ensemble with nini (does some tech stuff as well)
- again since ricky and nini don’t break up, nothing happened between ricky and lily over the rest of the school year, and nothing happens with ricky and gina
- i’ve had my ricky’s birthday headcanoned for like 2 years now (march 15th) and i plan to keep that, so - the ‘bucket list’ stuff and ricky turning 18 at the end of the summer also does not happen
