Very surface level character headcanons?
Notes: I'm lowkey going insane y'all. I dunno, it's kinda nonsense that i wrote in my notes app, but it's still something i wrote so I'm gonna post it here and improve it later because that's how things work ok???
Woof would not be a popular kid in his school. The guy was probably made fun of on a daily basis. I mean, he's howling and calling himself Woof and having an obsession with The rolling stones, caring and into nature, I can't imagine it stuck well with kids in the early/mid 60s.
Like he was the kid who watched the original Addams Family, The Munsters, Mission Impossible and be really into those ok?
Also he would live with a single mom, (in the musical, in his introduction he mentions his "many many fathers", so i assume his dad isn't present...or maybe even unknown?)
So, he has a cab driver, single mom and is a fucking loser, definitely not very popular in school.
Not that he cares much, he has his hobbies and his plants, and he's not too concerned with his social life.
He would get into the hippie lifestyle and counterculture maybe 1965, i think that's mostly when it started, and suddenly he feels like he has this thing that gets him. Because thats everything he believes him, fit in this one movement.
I imagine the first person from the Tribe™ he met was Berger (i kinda imagine they all got to know each other through Berger, because Berger is just that person). Berger would know Sheila by that point already, they'd be friends first for sure. Anyway, Woof meets this super cool guy, who just doesn't give a shit if people ridicule him. Like Berger is probably the coolest guy you could meet in 1965 right?
And Berger doesn't look down on Woof, he actually talks to him like he's normal and not some fucking weirdo. So he, of course, considered him his best friend. He would have a couple other friends other than Berger, but more casual ones, I guess I imagine.
Then Jeannie and Hud come along right, later, I haven't thought about that too much yet, ill figure how they met eventually. But they become his best friends too, even more so than Berger, eventually he and Jeannie get together and they have their little polyamory moment (which i fucking adore by the way, the polycule is perfection, argue with a wall).
