Random Mean Girls headcanons im unrelenting about [bway musical & movie musical]
• Karen, very platonically, calls Gretchen “honey”, “sweetie” and “baby”, because she knows that’s what people who love each other call each other. Again, it’s so platonic, but Gretchen reciprocates it.
• Janis’ favourite food is burgers and she loves everything on it - as much sauce and salad as possible.
• Cady is autistic.
• Also Cady hates buffets and this was found out because Janis’ and Damian decided it would be a good idea to help her acclimatise to American food. Cady had a meltdown.
• Gretchen has severe but extremely high functioning anxiety. [This is practically canon lmao]
• Gretchen has notes folders on her phone with everyone’s details. She knows your medical history, darkest secrets, favourite food etc.
• Karen is so sensory seeking. She has no idea about her limits because her introception is terrible. She loves crunchy foods and at parties, drinks far too much because she doesn’t realise it’s too much until it’s too much.
• Regina has a terrible relationship with her mum.
• Aaron is very traumatised by his time with Regina and is so shocked when Cady doesn’t display the behaviours that Regina did.
• Betsy Heron has a special interest in parenting and, post spring-fling, her house becomes The safe space for Cady and her friends. [Betsy is autistic too]
• Damian fucking loves pizza. Easily eats a large pizza himself. Favourite food.
• Cady adores chicken wings. Janis tells her she’ll hate them because they’re so messy, but Cady adores them.
• Cady is straight, Janis is a lesbian, Damian is gay, Regina is an extremely closeted lesbian, Karen is pan, Gretchen is unlabelled, and Aaron is straight. [Damian is also trans].
• Karen has dyslexia and several other undiagnosed learning disabilities / neurodivergencies.
• Cady hates the taste and feeling of alcohol. Still drinks at every single party though.
