#derek danforth headcanons

So yeah. I did it, by the way.

[sameschmidtdiffname]

i became a little obsessed with "same shit, different schmidt", so it made me think about some headcannons of other jhutch characters as parental figures (im just a girl with dad issues let me be)

my friend and i discussed this for a while and we had a VERY LONG CONVERSATION about derek because none of us could see him as like actually a parent?? but we agreed that if he had a little nibling or like any type of child relative, this asshole would become the most a soft version of himself next to them and spoiled them to the utmost by slip them pocket money or gifts in secret from their parents

(also this one is quite questionable, but i can definitely see how he uses a lot of strange teen slang to look cooler in their eyes)

liiike personally i think that Derek loves kids but doesn't want to have his own because it's too much responsibility and obligation for him so he's basically just a cool rich slightly weird uncle🤘

i don't think it's accurate for everyone but we literally talked about it non-stop for almost a week now????? so i just needed to get it out of my chest lol

Omg no because you're absolutely right?? I feel like Derek would not want kids but a nibling?? Like. Perfection 🤌

(Although I feel like he's got a raging breeding kink.)

I feel like he'd use the phrase "it's gucci" way too much for his own good. Not just because it's Derek, but I also just hear so many millennials use that phrase when speaking to teens it just makes me giggle because it's technically outdated. (Feels outdated to me, anyways.)

Thing is I can't tell if he'd be the kind of uncle to let like, 99% of everything slide or if he'd be borderline overly protective. I feel like he'd almost swing inbetween. But anon, I LOVE this, please feel free to return with another headcanon <33
