my communications headcanons !!!! (Just for the sake of the headcanons, imagine everyone is alive unless stated/implied otherwise)
Nathan has a form of selective mutism and knows ASL, only really willing to speak sometimes around Ray & Evelynn, rarely simon. But most of the time they are dead silent. Will that stop them from secretly being unhinged? no. absolutely not. they know every cuss word known to man in ASL and will sign them at people just to see the confusion on their faces.
Evelynn & Ray have picked up a bit of Nathan's signs, but don't care to fully learn ASL.
Simon just assumes that Nathan is constantly slurring at him, when their probably not
-----------
Stephanie would let Kennith do her makeup sometimes!!!
Greg is the type of person to go with Kennith to something an 18 year old boy shouldnt go to / be doing, but tells people that hes "the trusted adult watching him" when in reality he doesnt give a shit what Kennith does
Stephanie and Jenny have game nights on fridays and invite Kennith and Greg over!!! Do they tell Evelynn? .. no, but Evelynn always finds out somehow and will pester Kennith about it
Even after the broadcast incident, Stephanie cant bear to watch TV alone anymore. Someone has to be with her or she will sit in the room in silence
Once on a halloween night, a kid asked Kennith what he was dressed as and Kennith said "You in 10 years time." Kennith wasnt even dressed up, Just in his casual outfit
Evelynn has their ears pierced and would show up to school with some of either the coolest or weirdest earings ever
-------
Nancy knows how to ballroom dance and tried to teach Henry..... he got embarrassed when he kept messing up and Nancy had to keep reassuring him
Henry had an issue with staying up late at night writing. Nancy would come in and try to urge him to go rest, even if it took a bit of fighting at times
Frances collects old telephones. Bc why not!!! If they dont work anymore, they go up on her shelves for safe keeping.
Ray probably owns multiple hand-guns just because he thinks they look pretty
-----------
Simon owns a cat ear beanie. Is he proud of it? No. Why does he have it? "Because i need it for the collection and diversity." he says
Bri would take polaroids of them and Avery and put them up in their room!!!
Avery was and IS Bris main emotional support person. If bri ever had a stressful event to go to, they would bring Avery along. Avery would have a bag with things like snacks, water bottles, and things to fidget with in case Bri ever got overstimulated. But Bris favourite thing to do calm down was play with Averys hair :D
Nathan is that one person that will just randomly appear and dissapear. Its on of their favorite skills. Being able to just show up behind people, then be gone as soon as their backs are turned
And then bonus thing, Spoilers has sketchbooks apon sketchbooks filled with drawings of every character. Theyve even made storyboards for comics with each one of them
