"adhd and autism are cousins, of course there's a lot of overlap, and we can come together to bond over shared experiences" and "for the love of GOD just because you have adhd doesn't mean you can speak on the autistic experience" and "not all neurodivergent people are autistic or have adhd and it's important to remember and avoid implying that places where adhd and autism overlap are universal nd experiences" MUST coexist
With years of writers block and a month of art block under my belt I'm almost certainly not putting out any fully fledged Thunderpride content.
BUT I have seen a few headcanon lists floating around and I can totally throw one of those together for the sake of good fun!
This'll be for TOS as thats the one I have more fun really messing around with. I like to distinguish between my headcanons that rely on canon/semicanon info and more fanciful ones, these are very much the latter, pretty fast and loose. It's queer headcanons for a 60s puppet show, my source is I made it up.
Scott - Freshly out gay man. Spent years saying "yeah I TOTALLY like girls" and then not dating them. By no fault of unsupportive family and friends, he just needed a minute to figure it out.
I will also say I do see a lot of people put Scott as the token enthusiastic straight ally big brother, and appreciate that vision too.
Virgil - Unlabelled, doesn't date. He's not averse to the idea of a relationship, but hasn't met anyone he's interested in pursuing. He might never, and that's fine by him too. He's chill.
But then ALSO I think gay art twink Virgil is a very fun headcanon too, I see that immensely. Look at him.
John - metrosexual
Gordon - Unlabelled, DOES date. He'll say yeah to whatever mspec identity you suggest. Didn't come out per se, he just acts like everyone already knows and lets them do the work. I think trans Gordon and Virgil together specifically is a fun combo but don't hardcore ascribe to it.
Alan - Bisexual. Listen, I think his bouts of jealousy about Tin-Tins dating life are vastly improved if he thinks the guys are hot too. When he actually asks her out they bond over people they both find attractive.
Tin-Tin - Also bi! Anyone who wasn't out before they met her, every time, they came out to her first. She's got a lot of enthusiasm for her own queer identity but is very good at matching other people's energy about theirs.
Brains - Gay, but outside of Tin-Tin, no one knows. He doesn't really talk about it if nobody asks, and nobody has. He thinks its funny when people assume he's straight. If he were more sociable and went to gay events he'd probably be quite popular.
Penelope - Trans woman, one of my first headcanons out the gate when I started thinking about it. It just feels Right. I imagine she's straight but I'm fond of sapphic Penny headcanons too.
I think scar embracing being an epic sexy muscle dude (hot guy, definitely aware of scitties) is soooo real. he said I'm Ripped Now. and it was so. an inspiration to us all
sick to death of people ignoring the experiences of trans men who don't pass when trying to make sweeping statements about what trans mens lives are like
medicated acne gel is so stressful it's like "apply twice daily to affected area DO NOT apply near any facial feature, not for use on neck, arms, back, ass, broken skin or within 500 feet of a school. symptoms are normal but if symptoms occur call your doctor leave on for TWO HOURS THIRTEEN MINUTES AND FORTY FOUR SECONDS FUCKING EXACTLY under direct light of the full moon then remove immediately. will bleach anything that you touch for the rest of your life. results become visible from THIRTY YEARS
