as promised here’s some random hcs for longshot in no particular order
he’s non binary and uses he/they pronouns
his little hat is his ender euphoria accessory but so is the little red shoulder cape
he and smellerbee found each other first, then the pair came across jet who was alone. he and smellerbee were a duo for like two years before jet and the other freedom fighters came in
as much as jet acts like he’s the leader/father of the group, smellerbee and longshot are much more like parental figures, see their behavior when jet was in ba sing se
smellerbee was already out when they met. meeting her was such an important event in the process of discovering and coming out, she helped them pick out their name and showed them that you really can just be out and trans without any reservations
as much as longshot loves the freedom fighters, in his heart he loves smellerbee the most. they’ve been through the most shit together and they’ve been there for each other during the hardest parts of their lives. he would do anything for her and they trust that she would do the same for them.
of course, they still love the freedom fighters very much. besides pipsqueak, longshot is the duke’s best friend
longshot is a good cook! jet has great taste in food but burns everything, the duke always overseasons, smellerbee is okay actually, pipsqueak makes fantastic eggs but can’t make anything else. so the job usually fell to longshot, because they can make more than a few dishes and everyone complained the least when he made things. with that, he has a lot of practice, and used that time to get inventive with the few spices and herbs they could find.
longshot is HoH, which they and toph bond over
they end up becoming really good friends! when toph and smellerbee start dating he ends up spending a lot more time with her, and they bond even more over being non binary and disabled. and longshot appreciates having someone new to lovingly bully smellerbee with <3
the joke about longshots name is that hes CRAZY good at shooting from a distance but one time there was a squirrel literally two feet away from him and he missed by a yard and smellerbee never let him forget it
ok thats all i have for now <3 find out the rest if i ever end up writing the fic i have planned out in my head for him <3
