TWD Teens No Outbreak AU Headcanons!
Characters: Enid Rhee, Carl Grimes, Ron Anderson, and Mikey
Enid Rhee
General:
Enid loves giving and receiving handmade gifts. She always makes can tap bracelets, crocheted items, and embroidered art.
Her biological parents passed when she was seven, and she went from foster home to foster home until Glenn and Maggie adopted her when she was ten.
A TON of piercings. She gave herself a nostril piercing when she was thirteen after watching a tutorial on YouTube. All her piercings since then have been done by professionals, though.
She has a septum, her DIY nostril piercing, two lip piercings, ear piercings, and a tongue piercing. She plans to get her eyebrow pierced soon too.
She constantly takes Glenn’s pants and Maggie’s flannels. They find it endearing.
Is DEFINITELY a Tumblr and ao3 girly.
Loves taking pictures on her digital cameras and her Polaroids.
Her bed has a mountain of plushies and she LOVES putting fairy lights everywhere in her room. She also has those lights you can control the color of from your phone or a remote.
One of her favorite things to do with her friends is go out to parks or the woods at night just to listen to music, eat cheap pizza, and skate.
Music:
LOVES Mitski, Lana Del Rey, Conan Gray, girl in red, and Laufey, but also listens to bands like Nine Inch Nails, Arctic Monkeys, Nirvana, and The Neighborhood.
Plays bass and piano. She learned piano when her parents were still alive, and the skill stuck with her then she started learning bass in her freshman year of high school.
Plays her music on a record player or CD player, unless she’s out and forgot her bag with her CDs and her discman.
As Your Girlfriend:
She shows her love through physical touch and her actions. She’ll do things like remember your favorite songs or snacks and always have her arm around you or her hand in yours.
If you’re going through a rough time, she’s by your side. If you’re struggling in school, she’s helping you. She’s the best girlfriend you could ask for.
Hobbies:
Knitting, crocheting, writing (fanfiction, stories, poetry, etc), drawing, painting, playing video games, baking/cooking, scrapbooking, sewing, DIYing, collaging, reading (comics and books), collecting figurines, photography, embroidery, skating (skateboarding, roller skating, ice skating, whatever involves skating), and playing her instruments.
Carl Grimes
General:
He lost his eye in a hunting accident when he was twelve. Kind of like when Otis shot him, but he lost his eye this time.
He wears his mom’s wedding ring on a necklace with his guitar pick. (Lori died in childbirth with Judith like she did in the show, but Judith is Rick’s in this AU.)
100% says “six-seven” a LOT and annoys the hell out of Enid with it. (She punched him in the face once)
Went through a bit of an emo phase in grades sixth through ninth, but eventually landed in between grunge and metalhead with a side of the occasional cowboy boots and flannels.
That one friend who ends up bringing his little siblings (Judith and R.J.) along when his group is going to fun place. (Ex: Arcades, the park when it’s still light outside, anywhere that a kid would be really. Rick makes him do it, but he doesn’t mind.)
The classic teenage older brother who loves his family and friends with all his heart kind of guy.
His room is either a mess or spotless, there’s no in between.
He ABSOLUTELY does his eyeliner.
DESPISES cooking or touching the stove. He’ll somehow burn water.
Found Enid’s Wattpad when they were thirteen and has NEVER let her live it down. (She moved to ao3 and Tumblr soon after and he’s been hunting it down.)
Music:
Mainly listens to Pierce The Veil, Iron Maiden, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, and Metallica, but he won’t complain if someone puts on Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, or Madonna. (He not-so-secretly loves them)
Goes to backyard/garage music shows with Enid, Ron, and Mikey, and even proposed starting a band of their own.
Plays electric and acoustic guitar. Rick had both laying around in the basement from his own teenage years, and he immediately started teaching Carl when he took an interest in it.
He uses discmans and record players too.
As Your Boyfriend:
He’s a total dork. He gets flustered if you do so much as kiss his cheek, and he LOVES physical touch.
If you two are cuddling, he’s always just staring at your face with a smile.
Definitely gives you his shirts, sweaters, and jackets. Not because you ask, but because he likes to see you in them. (And he likes people at school to realize that whatever you’re wearing is his.)
A TOTAL loverboy. His dad taught him to be that way. He always buys you flowers or plays his guitars for you.
Hobbies:
Reading comics, collecting figurines, skateboarding, roller skating, playing video games, scrolling on his phone, spending time with his family and friends, playing his guitars, drawing, writing (poetry and stories), gardening, sewing, DIYing, painting, and watching TV.
Ron Anderson
General:
Runs away and sneaks out a LOT because of his dad. Most of the time he’ll end up at Mikey’s, Enid’s, or Carl’s house, but sometimes he’ll go to his partner if he has one. (Rick found out about Pete one night and immediately put a warrant for his arrest out.)
Smokes weed and cigarettes. A guy approached him after a particularly rough night with his dad when he was just walking around, and he’s been smoking ever since.
LOVES anime and manga. His favorite is probably Attack On Titan or The Fist of the North Star.
Is always getting Sam out of the house, and even got a job so he could afford to take him places to distract him from their home life.
CANNOT choose between cats or dogs, so he has both! He has an orange tabby cat and a golden retriever. Luckily, they get along. Sam loves both of the animals as well.
He and Carl have the same style, so they’re ALWAYS sharing clothes. They’re best friends.
Has a fake ID, 100%. He buys alcohol occasionally, but it’s mostly for weed.
Is totally brainrotted and much like Carl, he annoys the hell out of Enid with it. He also FOUND Enid’s ao3 and Tumblr. Her writing and girlblogging is NOT safe from the duo.
Music:
His music taste is very similar to Carl’s. Pierce The Veil, Iron Maiden, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, etc, but he also loves bands like Weezer and Korn. (So does Carl.)
Plays electric guitar and the drums, and is very skilled with the second. His drums are his escape. (And his way to take his frustration out.)
Prefers CDs since they’re smaller and more portable, but his mom bought him a record player and some vinyls for his sixteenth birthday, so he uses that at home. (He also found his mom’s iPod and uses that too.)
As Your Boyfriend:
He tries to be a sweetheart, but he doesn’t know how to because of his parents’ relationship. He was never really shown what a healthy relationship looks like, but he knows it’s not whatever the hell his parents have, so he avoids that.
Is SUPER awkward. If he buys you flowers or writes/draws something for you, he can’t look at you while gives it to you. Eye contact is his weakness when it comes to you. It’s adorable.
Will TRY to play his instruments for you, but he always gets shy or embarrassed. You found it’s best not to look at him until he’s done playing so he doesn’t get nervous.
Makes playlists for you. No doubt about it.
ADORES physical touch. He always falls asleep on your chest or stomach with his arms tightly wrapped around you. Once he’s out, you’re not getting up, but you don’t mind.
Hobbies:
Reading comics, photography, collaging, cooking, scrapbooking, skateboarding, track and field, sewing, DIYing, painting, drawing, embroidery, making playlists, playing his instruments, journaling, smoking, sneaking out, playing with his pets and brother, playing video games, reading manga, going on walks, jogs, and runs, and watching anime.
Mikey
General:
Totally older brother core, except he’s an only child.
LOVES ao3 and Tumblr. He and Enid are each other’s biggest fans. They leave Kudos, likes, and comments on EVERY single thing they see of each other.
Still uses a 3DS, game boy, Xbox 360, and iPod aside from his more modern things. No one will ever get him away.
He and Ron have been friends since they were toddlers and always have movie nights. (Carl and Enid are included sometimes, of course.)
That “teenage dirtbag” guy that everyone tries to be, but he KNOWS how to do it instead of just be performative about it.
Has a sassy man attitude (which he got from Enid) and people always get caught off guard because he looks like the sweetest guy ever.
LOVESSSS My Babysitter’s a Vampire and Twilight. No one will EVER take him away from those shows. He even got Enid into them.
Totally goes to comic con. (Ron, Carl, and Enid do as well, and they’ve ALL gone in cosplay a few times.)
Music:
Loves Mindless Self Indulgence, Nirvana, Weezer, and My Chemical Romance, but also loves Lana Del Rey, Conan Gray, and The Neighborhood. (Very similar to Enid.)
Uses everything BUT his damn phone for music. CDs, an iPod, vinyls, even cassingles.
He plays drums, keyboard, and acoustic guitar.
When Carl suggested a band, he immediately agreed. (Because who WOULDN’T?)
Likes to fuck with people by saying “Name five songs”. He ALWAYS says that when someone says they like Nirvana too.
As Your Boyfriend:
He hates physical touch, but he tolerates it from you. He likes to keep it minimal, though. He’ll hold your hand or let you lay your head on his shoulder, stomach, lap, or chest, but he usually hates hugs or cuddles. He likes his personal space.
Makes you listen to music with him. Mostly without talking. He prefers to coexist, which is fine.
Definitely makes playlists for you, and he tries his best to incorporate what you like in them.
He gets annoyed when you do the “Guess who” thing, but it soon fades when he sees you smiling.
Has hugged you TWICE, and you were shocked both times, but you immediately reciprocated.
Hobbies:
Photography (mainly on digital or disposable cameras and Polaroid cameras), blogging on Tumblr, drawing, playing his instruments, writing (fanfiction), collaging, sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, baking, cooking, reading (books, manga, and comics), playing video games, painting, cosplaying, riding his bike, skateboarding, roller skating, going on walks, journaling, scrapbooking, and DIYing.
