Trans Gordon Headcanons
Alright, here we go!!
Itâs not uncommon for the members of IR to miss a haircut or several, and it is one of these instances that made Gordon stop and⌠oh
She hides in her bedroom when they all finally have time to wrangle their hair; she doesnât know what this is yet, but something has shifted and it feels a bit like she might choke and die if she has to go back to having short hair.
Gordon worships chapstick, especially for the first several months when sheâs figuring out the details
Gordonâs wide shoulders had never bothered her before, but on a trip to the mainland with Grandma, Gordonâs eyes linger just a fraction too long on a flowy, buttercup sundress, and she cringes when she imagines her shoulders âdestroyingâ the gorgeous dress.
Gordon first tries to braid her hair while listening to flouncy ukulele alt-rock and it goes hilariously.
Theyâre all sitting in the lounge, a rare and relaxing evening, and into the calm Gordon quietly throws âhey, so, apparently Iâm a girlâ and they all smile back at her and tell her they love her.
They do all have proper conversation, in smaller gatherings, about what Gordon wants regarding her name, and if they'd accidentally made her feel like she couldn't tell them earlier. In all truth, even though she'd spent so long paying attention to her body as an athlete, and most of what came after that was just pain, she truly just hadn't considered the little itch in her sternum any time someone called her a boy to be anything more that a little itch
Makeup wasnât something sheâd ever considered before, but now she has too much and can never find anything in the top drawer of her bathroom.
Doesnât really hate that her name is Gordon, but sometimes it still makes her skin itchy, so she tries Cooper, sometimes, mostly for new people, and finds that using both just⌠works for her
Penelope buys her a deep crimson pantsuit, and it rocks
It takes a long while, but Gordon goes back to get that dress and⌠itâs not there -_-
She gets another dress, green with black fern leaves patterned on it, and it has pockets.
Cooper still wears her old jeans and shorts because even though they remind her of before they have functioning pockets, and donât ride up.
Gordon just can not do eyeliner, but sheâs got a handle on the eyeshadow/mascara combo
Cooper buys a bikini as a joke, but uh. She wears it all the time now, whoops.
Aaaaand that's all for now, folks!
Feel free to add on / talk to be about these any time //gen
