Raises paw, I feel like a lot of people don't view what happened to Tucker as serious as it was because of how it was portrayed in the show. But Tucker absolutely did not consent to carrying junior or anything leading up to that and I feel like that should be taken into account more when thinking about Tucker headcannons.
So speaking of, Tucker headcannons:
- after the crunchbite shit, Tucker used that as some sort of motivation to start improving himself and not treating everything like a joke. I feel as if this was super important to his change in character.
- the sexual jokes and stuff had little genuine intent after that shit too, and closer to chorus I feel he did it as a coping mechanism of what happened to him.
- he became less trusting of Sangheili after that so seeing the Sangheili in the desert was really hard for him, but he knew he couldn't just run away from a difficult situation, he'd grown from that.
- he initially didn't want Junior but told himself he wouldn't be like his own mother who neglected a child she didn't want, because Tucker would never wish that upon anyone else regardless of if he didn't choose to have the kid. He was also a baby born from similar circumstances to junior so he really saw his own situation in his kid and had to end the cycle before it even began. Junior didn't get a choice in being born either, the situation wasn't fair on either of them so he'd make the most of it he could.
I had more and forgot but yeah that's all for now.
