Brick (Antithesis Au) Head-canons
A / N : Antithesis is a high school au (i fear that’s my brand at this point.) In this alternate universe, the Rowdyruff Boys were taken in by Ms. Bellum after their creation and resurrection. Her influence has significantly tamed their destructive tendencies, raising them to become mischievous troublemakers rather than outright villains. This specific AU is more playful / slice of life, episodic vibe.
HEADCANONS
Natural Leader: Brick naturally takes charge in any situation, whether it’s planning a prank or helping his brothers out of trouble. He thrives on being in control and hates feeling outdone.
Very Flirty: Brick has perfected the art of teasing and charming, often using his cocky smirk and sharp wit to fluster people. With Blossom, though, his flirting often feels like a battle of wits rather than genuine romantic pursuit.
Good at Pretending to Be Better: Adults see him as a golden child—polished, polite, and hardworking. He knows exactly how to play the part to get on teachers’ good sides, masking his mischievous streak.
Petty: Whether it’s grades, sports, or board games, Brick has to win. If he loses, he’ll downplay it outwardly but stew about it until he finds a way to redeem himself.
Secretly Booksmart: While he doesn’t flaunt it, Brick enjoys reading and has a knack for strategy-based games like chess. It’s part of why he loves competing with Blossom—he knows she’s the only one who can keep up with him intellectually.
Pen Flipping: When he’s bored, he flips a pen between his fingers—a habit that drives Blossom crazy when they’re in class together.
Hidden Vulnerability: Despite his confidence, Brick sometimes worries about living up to his role as the “leader.”
Protective Streak: Brick may tease his brothers endlessly, but if anyone else messes with them, he’s immediately ready to step in and defend them.
Hard to Open Up: He struggles to talk about his emotions, often deflecting with sarcasm or jokes. If someone gets him to open up, it’s a sign he trusts them deeply.
DYNAMICS:
Blossom: Brick finds Blossom endlessly fascinating—her intelligence, her ambition, and her ability to keep up with his taunts. He’d never admit it, but he genuinely respects her, even if he hides it behind relentless teasing.
Boomer: Brick alternates between acting like a protective older brother and being annoyed by Boomer’s “airheaded” moments. Still, he appreciates Boomer’s creativity and often helps him brainstorm ideas for projects.
Butch: Brick is the only one who can (barely) rein in Butch’s wild energy. Their bond is strong, but they butt heads when Butch’s antics threaten to ruin Brick’s carefully crafted image.
Ms. Bellum: He deeply respects her and sees her as a role model for handling pressure and responsibility. She’s one of the few people whose advice he listens to.
Bubbles: Brick sees Bubbles as the one person he can’t truly figure out. She’s too nice for him to tease the way he does Blossom and too kind-hearted to provoke in the way he does Buttercup. Instead, Brick often finds himself intrigued by her sunny disposition and tendency to see the good in everyone—even him.
Buttercup: Brick and Buttercup have a relationship built on mutual stubbornness and competitiveness. They often argue or challenge each other, but it’s less sharp and more playful than his rivalry with Blossom. Buttercup enjoys calling out Brick’s cockiness, while Brick loves pushing her buttons just to watch her get riled up.
Princess : Brick and Princess have a strong bond that neither of them would ever openly acknowledge. They’re cut from the same cloth in many ways—both cocky, ambitious, and fond of being the center of attention—which makes them natural partners in crime or mortal enemies, They’re bond is very wishy washy, often calling in for favors and giving each other unwanted advice. Though there’s some loyalty and trust there.
