Little Sally headcanons

really really wants to be a narrator bc she thinks its so cool

wants to be just like lockstock

doesn't rlly have parents so she's just been co-adopted by soupy sue, little becky, and lockstock

makes RLLY intense eye contact and does not break it

absolutely cannot tell when she’s being annoying

absolutely cannot tell when people are bored with her 

talks wayyyy too fast all the time

genuinely concerned for the fate of the musical. Are people going to see it???? Is the title bad??????

Gets WAY too excited about everything

my extremely silly (kind of angsty) headcanons for the urinetown cops that no one asked for :3

from my notes app lmao

They have their internet names (Theodore and Isaac)

Lockstock is 37, Barrel is 30

Barrel sometimes calls Lockstock "Theo" when they aren't in a professional setting

Lockstock is psychic, and the future presents itself in the form of a script. He has super vivid dreams of things that have yet to happen, and sometimes they are recurring. They are nearly always true, and scarily accurate down to exact phrases and gestures from other people. Little Sally also has this, but less vivid and less accurate.

He dreamed up the entire series of events that happen in the musical multiple times, and that's why he knows everything about it.

He narrates everything that he knows will happen as a weird coping mechanism

Often he has trouble differentiating his dreams from reality and will be convinced he's stuck in a time loop.

And he has an insane god complex

Anyway

Barrel has bipolar disorder and dissociative amnesia, and it's undiagnosed to make things more interesting.

Killing people is just part of Lockstock's job, and he feels close to nothing about it most of the time, but every once in a while, someone will plead a bit too desperately or scream a bit too loud, reminding him that they are human just like him.

Barrel gets a sweet, sick, and twisted dopamine rush from the killings, finding them satisfying, when manic. Then he usually forgets how bad it was afterwards. Sometimes, though, he'll remember. Times like those are when he clings to Lockstock for comfort, devastated, much to Lockstock's confusion. He never told him why he was so upset until the confession scene ("doubts about the killings" idk i thought it was interesting)

Barrel doesn't remember the majority of his childhood/young adult life. Like, at all. The drought began when he was 10, but he doesn't remember any of it. The stink years? Well, he was in the military, but that's about all he could tell you.

Oh yeah speaking of which, Barrel was in the military at 18 before being recruited as a police officer under Cladwell when he was 23. When he became an officer, that's when he met Lockstock

Hot Blades Harry is Barrel's ex and they met in the army

Harry cheated and that's why they broke up

Barrel's parents were very absent and mildly homophobic

They encouraged him to join the army so they wouldn't have to deal with him

Barrel was a freak as a kid like he was genuinely a menace to everyone

Lockstock's childhood was relatively normal. When he was a kid, he wanted to be a policeman for like, the purest reasons ever, just wanting to ensure safety in his city. Well, that's definitely down the drain, but at least he's in his childhood dream job, right?

Barrel is a bit of a sadist tbh

He loves his job the most because he suffers literally zero legal consequences for almost anything... whilst being able to kill people for those same exact things. Win-win, right?

Dude needs therapy

The two of them sometimes smoke weed together (don't ask me where they get it I know agriculture is fucked up from the drought but shhhhh maybe it was made in a lab idk)

Cannabis helps Barrel chill tf out so it's actually kinda good for his mental state

I might add more if I think of anything lol
