Any headcanons about the flower squad (hope im referring it right, talking about Chandler, Duke etc.) first time realising they are not straight or questioning their sexuality?

yes

-Heather Chandler: a lot of internalised homophobia, definitely partook in homophobic bullying to cover it up, full of panic and self-hatred when she figured out she was pretty genderblind to whoever she liked. Now she's an easy target for people and that's the exact opposite of what she wants.

-Heather Duke: completely chill out of spite. Her parents are already passive aggressive towards her transition that she started when she was literally a child, so being an asexual lesbian trans woman is no biggie to her. She just wishes it was easier, which is why she hid behind a cishet mask for so long, until she simply couldn't anymore.

-Heather McNamara: literally always knew and did not care. She's confused as to why it's even a problem that she likes women. Women fucking rule.

-Veronica: initial confusion and obliviousness. She was calm in discovering her sexuality, albeit it brought up unpleasant memories of being called slurs back when she presented more masculine. As for gender, the idea that she could be anything more than she was was never presented as an option to her, so how was she meant to know that she could be a lot happier? It was a relief when she got that figured out.

-BONUS: Heather Chandler after she gets her shit together: gay out of spite. fuck men. she still likes men but she kisses women and non binary people as a power move.

thunderfam!

yes, I know, I’ve disappeared for too long and left my blog catching dust (not literally lol, Dust is still dispersed in a boat in the ocean and TB4 should really bring it back), but now i’m back with a headcanon I’ve thought about for too long but never had the time and patience to write it down.

the headcanon is: when he was little, John was very quirky and perky, and of course he still loved the stars from day 1. all changed when his mom died; his energy shut down. he got concentrated totally on the stars and stopped pulling pranks around with Gordon and Alan, 

I know this is quite strange and probably never happened before, but I find it to be a very interesting concept. leaving it here if you want to give it a better look at it, because now I can’t provide fic (have Easter TAG, a crossover fic and my fabfivefeb offering that I want to finish before the end of the month [yea I kno, 10 or 11 days away]). if you want to try this for a fic you have my gratefulness in advance and my full stanning lol

A backstory for Brains

Hiram Kumar Hackenbacker was born in Chesterton, Cambridge, England on November 14, 2030 to Indian parents. He has one younger sister who was born in 2035. From a young age, Hiram was incredibly intelligent. He excelled in academic fields such as mathematics and science. As a child, his sister gave him the nickname “Brainy.” Which developed in to “Brains,” the nickname he uses to this day. After high school, Brains received a full scholarship to the University of Cambridge ad was accepted into their engineering program. Due to his genius level intelligence, Brains received his masters degree by the time he was 20 years old. He would’ve furthered his education and pursued his doctorate if he had not been recruited by International Rescue. In early 2051, Brains was approached by Jeff Tracy the head of the newly formed International Rescue. Brains was asked to build a prototype aircraft that was designed by Mr. Tracy. The TV-21. Sadly, the craft’s test flight was sabotaged by a criminal known as the Hood. Jeff Tracy was extremely impressed by Brains' skill and asked him to come work for International Rescue. Brains accepted and moved to Tracy Island. He had lived there for a short time while building the TV-21. Hiram K. Hackenbacker became the chief scientist and engineer of International Rescue. In late January of 2055, Brains’ employer was presumed dead after being caught in the explosion of the Zero-X. After Jeff’s supposed death, Brains built five new crafts. The Thunderbirds. These amazing machines would piloted by Jeff’ s five sons who would uphold his legacy. In late 2059, Brains began construction on a sixth Thunderbird for Jeff’s adopted daughter Kayo. Though Thunderbird Shadow would not be completed until January of 2060.

Got any nonbinary/transmasc headcanons for any of the characters? I'm pretty sure you're the one that gave me trans!JD but I'm curious about others.

you know what yeah >:) lets stray away from tag and discuss some other ones actually

-Veronica in tag is bigender ofc, to them this means they like being perceived as both genders at the same time, rather than one or the other. They love it when they simultaneously experience being male and female, because feeling both handsome and pretty at the same time is really empowering.

-Continuing on from that, Veronica presented very masc early in his life. We see hints of this in flashbacks and such, but basically he knew that he would most often be assumed to be female, and therefore liked 'balancing it out' by present male. He didn't want to be a boy, but he wanted to stray away as far from his womanhood as he could, but later stopped when it started attracting harassment.

-GENDERFLUID CHANDLER MY BELOVED!!!! i remember discussing this concept with people on my server years ago, and i still love it tbh. The idea of Chandler presenting as this hyperfeminine bold woman in school all the time, but being confused as to why is simply wasn't enough, is an epic concept. superior, even. i kinda wish i incorporated it into tag but it's too late for that now lol. Anyway, masc!Chandler is a thing i still need to draw.

-Non-binary Mac is also a good concept..... i did incorporate this into Unkempt Garden. Mac's UG expy is a demigirl. Not even the idea of her feeling uncomfortable with herself, but preferring the freedom that being non-binary can offer, especially to someone who's autistic and already feels disconnected with many expectations that were thrown on her. awesome concept.

I don't really have any more hcs about other characters lol. i refuse to make masc hcs for Duke since she's always been a trans woman to me but that's an entirely personal thing. also in the genderfluid chandler au i tried to make ages ago it would be chandler and duke forming a secret romance that sprouted from their gender identity crisis solidarity.

Don't knownif you do headcanons but I'm curious if you have any for the Loser Squad. Like what they do when they hang out together with each other and Veronica and how they treat each other. Also for Betty and Marthas' romance

omg it's been so long lets fucking gooooo

-The Loser/Succulent Squad are absolute chaos makers when nobody's looking. JD's consensual kidnapping? That's like another Wednesday to them. Veronica's missing out tbh.

-By that I mean these three always hang out indoors however JD is always bringing over these really sketchy magazines he bought from a guy lurking behind some dumpsters that have recipes for homemade stink bombs. The amount of smoke alarms they've set off is astounding.

-When they're not doing that they like to cuddle and watch shitty movies. Not scary ones, Martha doesn't like those, but they like to have a laugh.

-Once JD tried to ask Betty about her crush on Martha and it ended with Betty literally taping his mouth shut.

-They have a secret club that I'm writing about in the next fic i promise that'll be out soon i'm sorry it's taking so fucking long it's a big plot point akjskjdfdkjds

-I can't tell you much about Betty and Martha's romance bc I'm about to write about it :P

[heathersgameoftag]

Can Chandler appreciate that JD is kinda pretty now????

yes she certainly can. she can stop pretending she DOESN'T like boys that look like they live in the walls like rats
