hey who wants to hear a dumb ass headcanon
noodle missed a good chunk of her adolescence/early adulthood bc of el manana, and i feel like once she was back and they were all back together in the spirit house, the boys would feel terrible and would totally want to make it up to her. (though he’d never tell her, this was mostly mud’s idea bc of how he felt really guilty that el manana backfired in the first place.) in the span of like a whole week, they would celebrate any sort of life milestone they missed from when she was 16 to when she was 22. day by day they’d celebrate all her birthdays (spoiling her more than usual on her 16th and taking her out and getting hammered with her on her 21st) and would regift her every day something that murdoc had salvaged from kong before he burned it down. she cried when she was regifted her old gameboy and all its cartridges on her 17th birthday
and even though she never went to school they gave her junior/senior homecomings and proms anyway. one of the three of them would be her “”date”” for the night and they would literally just dress up with her, take a picture or something, then go to the 7/11 down the street to drink a slurpee on the curb in full dress. her and murdoc spiked them with vodka when they went. her senior prom date was a framed picture of del and russel framed the picture they took of her with it and it hangs by the staircase now
