ok bit of that sweet sweet info on how they all met

ro and pat met in the 2nd grade

clung to each other like koalas and never let go lmao

people often thought they were dating or had crushes on each other, cause its like that even in elementary school and junior high

(id know sadly) ((people often thought me and one of my friends were dating/had crushes on each other and we werent and it was so annoying))

sometimes,,,especially in 5th grade,,, they just met up with one another and talked about how annoying crushes were,,,

cause like, people were always talking about crushes and how cute and ‘hot’ these people were

and they didnt understand

like, they still dont know the line between attraction and affection

(im not projecting shuddup)

so they just talked about how confusing it was,,,and they bonded over having no crushes, at least none that they knew of

and it was nice cause they could just vent knowing the other would have no judgement

im crying now its pure

ok dee and lo met in 4th grade

cause dee wasnt exactly popular cause of his heterochromia, and some even made fun of his freckles.

little kids can be mean man

and lo was pretty socially awkward

he just wasnt that outgoing, pretty introverted, and just didnt talk to people

cause, honestly? it was scary

so the two kinda bonded over being outcasts, as sad as that sounds

like they just noticed each other avoiding the other kids

and idk they just somehow interacted

and clicked

suddenly they werent lonely anymore

because they had a friend

one that understood them, understood loneliness, and was also a left brain boy-

so yeah its wholesome too

then vee and re met each other in 1st grade

they seemed like an unlikely pair

a chaos monger, even at age 6 (or whatever first grade age is i forgot lmao) and a kid frightened by many things

but remus was actually mindful of virgil’s fear and made him laugh

and virgil pulled remus out of trouble, but also understood him

so they just became friends

stuck up for one another, caused chaos together, and pulled each other out of trouble

jzkfjazfjkajf my heart

as for how each group came together to form one whole crew?

dee and ro met each other in 6th grade with theater club

they became friends due to their inner drama geek

and bonded

and, like people do, introduced their respective friends to each other

so those 4 formed a group

pat, ro, and dee actually bonded rather well, but since lo was never good at social interaction, he felt awkward

so one time in the middle of 6th grade, he just felt like it was all too much and he was just on the outskirts, he sat at a lunch table alone, where the three couldnt see him

re and v just notice this kid eatin lunch alone

like the gremlins they are, plop down and start making conversation

mostly remus, but virgil popped in sometimes

lo was startled, as one would be, but eventually warmed up to them, finding them actually pretty funny, and chaotic just like him

so he came out of his shell even more

eventually the other three find him, questioning as to why he didnt sit with them (more so concerned, not like jealous, because lo usually sits with them and they didnt want him to feel bad)

and lo just kinda mumbles he’ll tell them later

the three notice vee and re and are like ‘huh’

but then lunch bell rings and they gotta go to their respective classes

later lo explains his reasons, they explain that it wasnt the case and they were sorry for making him feel like that, while lo assures him that part of it was his own self’s fault, cause sometimes he overanalyzes stuff

but yeah v and re start slowly integrating themself into their group

and by the end of 6th grade

they were all a group

and you know what happened from there

chaos crew babey

how patton decided he was trans (how it all went down basically):

jackson (pats mom) was talking and she was like: ‘oh yeah i thought i was trans for a bit, used the label and everything, but then i realized that i didn’t really vibe with it and tried she/they instead—‘

and then pat (age 8) pipes up from where he was doodling: ‘what’s trans?’

jackson: ‘oh it’s like when you decide you wanna be a different gender. like one example is when you are a girl and wanna be a boy. and if you decide you are trans, then boom now you’re the gender you wanna be’

and then pat pauses. just turns that over in his mind before fuckin shouting: ‘YOU MEAN I COULDVE BEEN A BOY THIS WHOLE TIME???’

[darth-does-stuff]

ok yes this is random but everything about this au is so it fits right in lmao

people who like ketchup - dee, remus

people who dont - roman, virgil

people who would drown everything in ketchup - logan

people who absolutely despise ketchup - patton

pat and lo absolutely ‘argue’ about this, involved with much gesticulation with the hands and shrieking

[darth-does-stuff]

pat pat has arrived my friends!

[darth-does-stuff]

So maybe I did something...kind of illegal? - Patton

hands are hard bro smh

[darth-does-stuff]

WAITWAITWATIWATIWTIIWAITWAIT

WHAT IF PAT AND ROMAN WERE ARO

THE ARO DUO

OH SHIT MY MIND BE RACING

ok to elaborate

they know the others wouldnt give them like...romantic affection (is that a thing-) (i mean like affection with the intention of a romantic relationship) if they were uncomfortable with it

but like having some affection from another aro just makes them feel like really nice

and its wholesome

and nice

and im now crying cause its pure

[darth-does-stuff]

ok about how good they each are in school; their overall grades

Logan

listen he could get straight a’s if he wanted to...but sometimes he just cant be bothered to do a subject

if he is really interested in something, he will go all in with the subject and try his hardest to get a good grade

but if he isnt really interested he’ll just do some sloppy work and turn it in

like he’ll still try, but not nearly as good as he could

just kinda wants to have fun in school, not pour his heart and soul into something he doesnt like just to get a literal letter

also thinks the school system is shit

so yeah, a mix of b’s, c’s, a few a’s that stuff

Patton

p smart

nobody is really ‘gifted’ in this au, cause, for me, the deal with ‘gifted kids’ is that they are people who just tend to understand things faster

some people are more methodical or just a bit slower on the uptake

that doesnt really make them dumb

some just dont try 

ok small rant over

so yeah, he tends to be interested in literally everything so straight a’s

there are some things he doesnt necessarily like, but he still tries because he feels like he has to 

otherwise whats the point?

so not exactly the...healthiest but, uh, yeah

Virgil

mostly b’s

like he does try because he’d feel really bad if he didnt

but he does get tired out by school really quickly

and cant be bothered

his parents are p happy with his grades, they arent like tiger parents or anything

also he has a problem with tests cause he usually gets p stressed out

he gets a few a’s sometimes, but usually b’s, maybe the occasional c

Roman

mix of a’s and b’s, a few c’s can pop up

tries his best

really likes when art project comes up and whenever it does he’s always like “BET”

yeah sometimes he doesnt have the best understanding of a subject and gets a kinda poor grade

but he usually grasps it at least semi well

Remus

d’s, c’s, an f is pretty rare for him but happens sometimes

he doesnt have the best understanding of subjects

and his grades show it

he tries, he really does

but a lot of this stuff just seems for foreign to him no matter what he does

his friends help him, which he appreciates

he also has a problem with remembering things

his friends make up jokes and images for stuff, especially materials on tests, so that he can remember, which is honestly really helpful

so yeah, he’s trying to improve his grades

Dee

a hodge-podge of everything tbh

very much thinks the school system is shit

sorta kinda not really tries

guy is hard to pin down with this stuff

only really tries with stuff he likes, similar to logan

other times he scrawls and turns it in, not looking back

so yeah, kinda similar to logan, but to a higher extreme yk

a lot of the times he is tired and cannot be bothered in the slightest

also, yeah, the whole chaos crew thinks the school system is wack and needs to be fixed
