Here's a fun and zesty RENT take for you: nonbinary Collins. Preferring not to go by his first name... the pause in Life Support before he says Collins like he isn't sure about giving it but hey this is safe right?... the way he self describes as 'liking boys' instead of giving a firm sexuality... philosophy...

this is extremely fucking valid

i have NEVER considered that collins might be his chosen name rather than just his surname and i am fucking LIVING

collins thinks that mark is totally fucking hardcore because he does his own testosterone shots

[anthonyampersand]

of the eight of them, collins has probably had the least sex (still quite a bit, but he's got a variety of other interests competing for his time) and maureen has probably had the most (combination of a high ass sex drive and her personal philosophy that recreational sex is the best way to get to know a person) but roger gives her a run for her money

furthermore, collins is the kind of guy who would have like, two to four pet rats at any given time, and they'd crawl up his sleeves and ride around the apartment on his shoulders.

i can actually.. totally see collins on chopped though??? and i can see angel on cupcake wars.

she runs a little bakery down the street from the hall collins lectures at, and he frequents it on his way home every day and flirts with her outrageously. when she finally asks when he's inviting her to dinner, he takes her home and makes her a three course dinner at his shitty apartment. she prods until he admits that he actually went to culinary school before he discovered his unfortunate passion for philosophy and, even more unfortunately, teaching, which he's slowly growing to hate.

several weeks of delicious food and phenomenal dates later angel and collins are lying in bed, panting and cuddled together, and angel asks collins, why don't you start up a place of your own?

they split the rent on a bigger building and devote half of it to the pastries, half to collins western style bistro.

@markyandrog i saw your tags and my first thought was "collins wears weed socks"

i have a headcanon that collins actually left high school after his sophomore year, got his ged, and went to college early because he was a fucking prodigy child
