Every time someone shares that AI generated image of Donald Trump in Master Chief's armor, another interation of Leonard Church dies horribly and is resurrected as a gayer version of himself. Don't do this to him.

AU where Sarge is a trans man and the rest of red team are all trans girls except it's not an AU and it's canon

[churchstopsurgeryscars]

Give me more Locus learning how to be human again please and thank you. Let that man relearn about stuff like music and good food and bad memes on the internet. I wanna watch him pick up a hobby like painting or writing. I want him to learn who he is when the armor is off. He deserves to learn how to smile and laugh again and get used to the feeling of joy fluttering in his chest.

Hey y'all if I tried to write even a short fic regarding this ship it would take weeks so here's my Reds and Blues Polycule Chart™️

Note: Platonic refers to Queer Platonic Partners not just standard friendships.

(Separate photos of each category and headcannons under the cut. CW for some NSFW themes)

(NSFW) Tucker and Kai tried being romantic partners, but realized that they were both just in it for the sex and decided to remain friends who have sex

(NSFW) Wash and Donut have had sex a total of 3 times and each time have been when Wash was so stressed out and lonely and Donut just decided to give him a hand. They don't speak of it and act like it never happened because Wash is embarrassed.

(NSFW) Donut, Grif, and Simmons have had multiple threesomes.

Wash, Carolina and Church are not genetic siblings but they consider themselves siblings because of their bond. People outside the polycule assume Carolina and Wash are dating and it offends them every time.

Sarge sees Simmons and Lopez as his sons and would protect them at all costs.

Grif and Kai...obviously

Church and Simmons ended up getting really close when Simmons decided to defect to Blue Team in Blood Gulch. They're a pair of massive nerds and love to discuss their favorite video games and TV shows. These discussions look like arguments to an outsider but they're having a great time

Doc, Kai and Donut all separately came to Locus with the goal of helping him experience life. Doc and Locus garden together. Kai takes him to a LOT of parties. And Donut has been teaching him about self care like makeup, skincare, bubble baths and things of the like. At first Locus was super overwhelmed by it but has grown to love his dorks

Locus and Church have this dynamic of two cats sitting on opposite sides of the couch to each other. They care about each other so much but hardly interact or say a word. They have this habit of giving each other gifts by just placing it on the other's bed without a word or even a note.

Sarge and Grif used to hate each other but over time have gotten to the point where they literally cannot handle not having each other around. If they go more than a week without seeing one another they get stressed.

Carolina and Grif became QPPs after Iris when Carolina started trying to process her trauma and figure out how to relax. They have a weekly hangout with just the two of them where they get so high and play videogames together.

Donut has put in a lot of effort to learn Spanish for Lopez. He struggled with it at first, but has gotten much much better. When not with Locus, Lopez is usually with Donut because he's one of the only people who can actually understand him.

Doc and Lopez ended up trauma bonding after their experience with Omega.

Caboose, understandably, has clung to Wash as a replacement for Church. However, over the years he has learned to love and rely on Wash in a way that goes beyond treating him as a rebound for Church.

(NSFW) Sarge and Donut first got together almost immediately during Blood Gulch after Donut made some sort of sex joke and Sarge was like "bet" then suddenly it wasn't a joke. They don't keep it a secret and yet nobody seems to know they're dating.

Simmons and Grif were the most painful relationship for everyone in the polycule to witness because they denied and denied and denied their love for each other for years. It wasn't until well after everything with Temple went down when they FINALLY started dating.

(NSFW) Locus and Grif started off with Locus getting so irritated and frustrated with Grif that he just had to fuck him about it. For a while Grif kinda clung to Locus like a lost puppy until recovering from the isolation of being alone on Iris for a couple months.

Doc and Donut started off with being close friends but after living together in Valhalla they realized they saw each other as more than friends.

After Locus joins Red Team (After the end of Season 15 in this AU), him and Lopez end up bonding really fast. While Doc and Donut know some Spanish, it's not the same as speaking with someone who is fluent in it. It's also nice to have someone who is more serious to talk to after being surrounded by maniacs and idiots for so long. They are the calm at the center of the storm that is the rest of the polycule, watching it all go by together and silently holding hands.

Locus and Wash got together after Wash got shot. In this AU, he stayed with him in the hospital and helped support him through rehab. They ended up bonding over their shared traumas and experiences with war and soon realized they had a lot in common.

Church and Tucker actually started dating all the way back in Blood Gulch. It's been on again, off again, but that's mostly because Church has this bad habit of dying and being effectively reincarnated. They really don't go on a lot of dates/do romantic shit, but they are very much in love. Their idea of a good time is sitting in lawn chairs, drinking beer and bullshitting.

Caboose never dated Alpha. In fact, Alpha really only ever saw him as a friend, and not even a close one. Epsilon, however, loved Caboose so much.

Wash and Tucker have such a strange dynamic. They argue like an old married couple, almost as bad as Grif and Simmons do. And they compliment each other so well. Wash helps Tucker to stay motivated and Tucker helps Wash to calm tf down for once.

Kai and Carolina are the newest couple in the polycule. They ended up getting close due to Grif's manipulation of always coming up with excuses for them all to do things together. Their relationship at this point mainly consists of the two of them sharing each other's interests with each other. Kai has found out through Carolina that she thinks MMA is really cool and Carolina has learned that she actually really likes making kandi jewelry.

[churchstopsurgeryscars]

wait wait wait can you expand on the transfem simmons hc bc i'm interested as a transfem who is a major simmons fan 👁️👁️

Absolutely!!!!

Simmons honestly reminds me of a LOT of my transfem friends so I can't unsee it.

Personally I think she's an egg who is in complete denial of being trans. Very much "Yeah I think about what life would be like as a girl constantly. Still cis tho" kind of vibe happening there.

Literally everyone on the red team has said "dude if you're trans that's okay you don't have to hide it" and yet she still is over here screaming "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I AM A MAN." Everyone is pretty much like "okay sure lol" and leave it alone except for Grif who is constantly giving her shit for being an egg. They frequently argue about if Simmons is trans or not and it always ends with her being like "whatever dude shut up"

This is a big part of why she's so nervous around women. Not because she wants to be with them but she wants to be them. Kaikaina (who is also transfem and very open about it don't @ me) gives her major gender envy and she doesn't know how to cope with those feelings. If Simmons would have like ONE (1) conversation with Kai about gender this wouldn't be happening, however the poor soul is too intimidated by confident femininity to get more than 10 feet of her. But honestly right now she's in the middle of a warzone and doesn't have the time to really contemplate her gender so it's taking way longer for her egg to crack than it really should.

I like to think that after the events of the show she will start to figure it out and be like "okay maybe I like being a bit feminine sometimes but that doesn't mean I'm a girl." When she does eventually transition she isn't really hyper feminine. She enjoys doing her hair and makeup, but 90% of the time said hair and makeup is paired with a pair of basketball shorts and a hoodie. Simmons is honestly too intimidated by the intricacies of women's fashion to further than a sundress every once in a while. Grif and Kaikaina keep telling her she's reading too far into it and she should just wear what she thinks is cute, but she's way too neurotic to take that advice at the moment. Everyone is just glad she's finally out of the closet; the rest can come later.

Btw I've decided basically the entire cast is queer in some way so if y'all wanna send me more asks about my head cannons I would LOVE an excuse to infodump about them.

[churchstopsurgeryscars]
