fuuuck people can't read my mind so if i have mindverse thoughts i have to share them. i forgot.
there's this common headcanon that heather is a biologist, which i. only recently realized has no basis in canon (she's mentioned all of. once?) but i like that because it gives her a tenuous connection to ryan, who mentions in episode 5 of his series that his robotics lab is in the biology building.
they're not Best Friends to me but they're work acquaintances who can tolerate each other's music taste, which is perhaps an even more special kind of relationship
they hang out in the same room working on different projects while halfway listening to non-intrusive funk and disco and soft rock. ok this post took me like an hour to make because i was backreading a discord channel for barely-related character thoughts i didn't even end up including.. so if after this you don't consider heather ryan friendship i'll be really sad. just kidding do what you want
