do you have any headcanons about conner's life? like...what is he college for, if he is still in college, where he lives and what his family is like, anything!!
so far I was just thinking he's a phd student and dr. sam is his advisor, but I'm not very attached to the idea haha.
- It is confirmed he is a biology grad student so there’s that!
- He wants to be an ornithologists (person who studies birds) someday once he’s officially done with his classes and getting his degree, so working for Dr. Sam isn’t permanent.
- He was one of Dr. Sam’s students and she was very impressed by his performance in his work that she hired him right after he finished her class.
- He’s Transmasc!! Still on testosterone + only had top surgery. He’s also Achillean, he just doesn’t have a specific label for it yet.
-He comes from a conservative home, a bit religious.
- He could say his parents are horrible but they’re not… great. They didn’t completely accept him after he came out so he moved out. He still talks to them but mostly to connect with other family members like siblings and cousins. But the aunts, uncles, and grandparents? Yeahhh… he isn’t comfortable around them and he DREADS seeing them for special occasions.
- He and Mabel bond the most about their love for animals + the fact that their parents suck most of the time.
- He’s from the suburban part of Beaverton but now lives in a cozy apartment in the urban part of the city.
- He has an orange tabby cat named Nala. He wanted a bird but then Nala showed up and he instantly adored her. So the pet bird would have to wait a little longer! Which is fine by him.
- He picks up Mabel for work most days so they get to go together. He doesn’t usually have anyone waiting for him so it’s a breath of fresh air to have someone to talk to every morning.
- They also hang out a LOT. They swap whose house to stay at but it always involves lounging around together, playing video games, sometimes working from home, etc. They really enjoy one another’s company.
That’s all I got for now!
