Which supernatural creature (vampires, werewolves and the like) do you think the Cornley crew would be? or if too weird then do you have hcs for whether people have siblings or are only children?
Never too weird! I'll answer both :)
(sorry I took ages to respond, I have been thinking too hard about how to answer these asks)
Supernatural creatures
Chris Bean = Vampire {not the hot and sexy kind. no way. I'm taking What We Do In The Shadows type unadjusted period vampire trying and failing to fit in. Something about having older taste in general, maybe reminicing on classical theatre and ballet because he's been around so long. Being awkward and pale. Very Chris behaviour}
Robert Grove = Devil?? Demon?? {Idk this man is just going around trying to trick people into making deals with him in exchange for his soul and being really really bad at it. All his chaotic energy I think works well for this as well as his scheming nature}
Annie Twilloil = Dwarf {Specifically in a Tolkein sense - Omg btw does anyone wanna hear about my goes wrong show LOTR AU??? - I think dwarfs are highly capable but also full of rage, just like my favourite lil pookie Annie!!}
Trevor Watson = Werewolf {I always liked bearded Trev from PPGW and ACCGW, thought it was a good look for him. Also something about that specific brand of werewolf where they are supposed to 'live like animals' with poor manners and general laziness unless they get really angry, which I think is very Trevor. Also I have a big headcanon about Trev being this super loyal to a fault guy with people he considers in his circle which is sorta dog coded and for christrev purposes I've always liked the werewolf x vampire aesthetic haha but that's by the by}
Max Bennett = Fairy {You guys know Puck from Mindsummer Nights Dream? Yeah, that. Very mischievous, very jolly, not necessarily small so he can still give his friends bear-hugs. Can't imagine him as anything else.}
Sandra Wilkinson = Siren {Idk if I'm giving her a fish tail, I honestly don't know that much about sirens but I feel like a creature who wants attention and praise and thinks that their looks are shipwreck worthy is very her. I feel like I remember sirens being able to take the form of whatever would lure sailors best but I think Sandra would refuse to do that because she has a wonderful 'I am enough' attitude. Which is actually very valid of her, my beautiful queen.}
Vanessa Wilcock-Wynn-Carroway = Witch {Very methodical spell and potion making. The sort of witch where all the measurements have to be precise. This would be extra funny since whenever other CDS members tried to help she would get So Stressed.}
Dennis Tyde = Shapeshifter {This is mainly because of his aversion to playing humans in any of their plays. I like to think he can onl shapeshift into creatures he knows about/has seen so sometimes he is just full-blown guessing at what a thing looks like and yeah...it does not turn out well...}
Jonathan Harris = Centaur/Invisible man/ghost {Centaur was my first thought and I think that's just because of the ballet. Invisible man is more of a gag choice I put in, but it's grown on me. Ghost because then he could walk through walls and doors without having to worry if they are locked :)}
Sibling Headcanons
Chris Bean = Only child. Painfully lonely as a result.
Robert Grove = Middle sibling of two sisters. Eldest is Lucy's mum and her name is Charlotte. Youngest is the one Chis snogged and her name is Harriet. Those name headcanons are because I think Robert's mum is some sort of vague personal-help/entrepreneural speaker who believes that naming your child something ending with a hard 't' sound will help with their confidence and brevado. This is especially sweet since Charlotte would go on to name her child Lucy, the exact opposite, with only soft sounds, in protest. {sorry to dump that silly headcanon here but its one of my favs hehe}
Annie Twilloil = Only child but didn't grow up like one. Cousins, neighbours, family friends etc it was like having a big family. They often had people staying over at their houses and Annie, once she got older, often babysat for family members. It is for one o thsoe cousin's children that she is considered an 'aunt' (like in accgw staged version).
Trevor Watson = One older sister, one younger brother and a twin :) Older sister is Tanya (the one he gets a phonecall from in tptgw), twin in Tessa (the female version of Trevor used in productions) and the younger brother is Dale (who I have too clear an image in my head of for no fucking reason haha).
Max Bennett = Only child not because he gives the vibes that he is one but because I think the angst potential that his rich parents want their only child to succeed and take over the business and such only for Max to go into theatre. That shit writes itself. There's more to the only child choice but my Bennett thoughts are actually so incoherent
Sandra Wilkinson = Youngest child with one/two siblings. Sometimes I think there is one older sister, sometimes I think there is one sister and one brother. I'll need to get back to you on this one.
Dennis Tyde = Only child. Cannot imagine this man with siblings.
Vanessa Wilcock-Wynn-Carroway = I like to think that she has a twin sister, who was the secretary in the BBC ACCGW.
Jonathan Harris = Only child to a single mother. On top of that I have put so much angst onto this man's childhood, it's beginning to become a problem.
Lucy Grove = I like to think she has a couple of half siblings from her dad's remarriage but I haven't thought a lot about it.
