Because I’m trying to add something new to this Sing fandom, have another Sing headcanon. Or small ones that make for one large one
- Ash and Lance met each other as late middle schoolers/early high schoolers outside of the principal’s office. Lance had (stupidly) started a fight with a rhino and Ash was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
- The 2 started hanging out more after finding out they have similar tastes in bands and actually shared a lot of classes.
- Lance became Ash’s first real best friend, since she normally stayed away from animals due to how easy her quills shed (which goes into another headcanon from @givebackandlivehappy’s account that Ash’s shedding and quill firing is a medical condition)
- Lance was the one who taught Ash guitar and gave her her classic red guitar (which was an old spare he owned). Ash had been a metalhead for a while, but never actually owned a guitar of her own.
- Ash and Lance are high school dropouts. When they met, they were really slacking academically speaking, and barely made it into high school. There could be a number of reasons why; they never understood the material the way it was taught, one (or both) of them had some kind of learning disability that none of their families caught onto, they just didn’t put in any effort or had any reason to try. Whatever the reason, they were failing and majorly. Eventually, they just dropped out as sophomores/juniors to try and make it big (or have Lance make it big with his backup vocals)
- Lance’s family is rather poor, and his parents were always too busy working to really pay attention to their son. Heck, they didn’t even know he dropped out until years later when at high school graduation, his name wasn’t called.
- Ash’s parents were the ones that bought their apartment with the lease under their name, only with the request that she and Lance pay half of the rent.
- The 2 made money off of any gigs they could land and small menial jobs (since they weren’t in school and didn’t have high school diplomas to get actual part-time jobs). If they failed to land any gigs, it would more affect Ash than Lance since most of the time, they would fail once she got carried away.
- Lance secretly made extra money by doing gigs with Becky (he had been cheating on Ash for a while before she found out) at places that he and Ash would have been rejected from. When Ash found, it kind of damaged her self esteem a little bit (it wasn’t completely destroyed because the theater fam helped her, but the news still gives her a bit of self doubt on her playing abilities).
That’s all I got so far. And all of it just came from the simple headcanon of “Ash and Lance are high school dropouts”.
