Work Text
Anne Maria: She is my bisexual queen who doesn’t really talk about it but she’d never deny it. Shes a cis woman and while she doesn’t fully understand being trans she’s fine with it, why hate when they’re happy.B: TRANS MAN!!! Give me one cis reason for the whole deadnaming scene. Also hate when ppl call him Beverly like that was his secret CMON. Hate crime. He’s also gay because I said so.
Brick: My love. I have much to say about him. He’s a trans man also because…….cmon. Doesn’t take his shirt off to swim, complicated relationship with fashion aka femininity, his name (what cis man is named Brick?!?!?), shall I go on? I’m also projecting but yknow. He’s also gay because I can’t fathom the idea of him with a women. Which on one hand, love the idea of Jock, but I can’t IM SORRY. I’ll rant on Jock later.
Cameron: Cameron’s a tricky one because on one hand I want to indoctrinate him with my queer agenda, but he’s so straight. And making him asexual/aromantic seems a bit infantilizing to him so he’s cishet. But he’s an ally he’s read all about the queers.
Dakota: I have two options for Dakota. Either she’s cishet but huge ally, or she’s t4t with Sam. I lean a bit more to the t4t in my own little AU’s, but within the show I feel like she’d be cishet.
Dawn: Queerest queer ever. Nonbinary lesbian that has like 14 micolabels for other genders. And we love her for that. Imagining she/they/it/he scenario. Also on the asexual spectrum, thinking gray sexual. Shes the one to instruct the other Rats on the specifics of the community. “No Scott, there’s a difference between bi and pan”.
Jo: LESBIAN AHHHHH. Again, on one hand it feels homophobic to make her a lesbian….. but cmon. Only man I could imagine is Brick but anyone else just can’t do. And I’m stuck between her being trans masculine or some form of trans or her just struggling with femininity. Because the show will make it seem like she’s insecure then they pull out the “no one needs to be reminded that I’m a girl!” and I don’t know what to think. She’s trans in SOME WAY maybe a fluid one.
Lightning: Straight……. You and me both want him queer but I really don’t believe it. He’s experimented a few times but felt nothing deeper when it happened. He’s cis too, not fully understanding but the classic quote, “That’s cool man, Lightning don’t judge!” #Ally
Mike: Strong cis bi vibes. We love that for him. I always debate doing his alters but I have stronger thoughts on them. Chester is a little homophobic but aren’t all old people? Mal is that edgy trans gay guy we all knew in middle school, he hasn’t grown out of it but he will one day. Hopefully. Vito is pan he really doesn’t care. Manitoba is straight but he’ll try anything once yknow. Svetlana is my trans lesbian goddess and she deserves more than these men.
Sam: I already talked about him in Dakotas one but again, realistically he’s cishet, in my silly little world he’s t4t with Dakota. Still straight either way like Dakota, they read trans het.
Scott: Boy oh boy! Homophobic bisexual. He won’t outwardly hate crime, just make comments. Mostly projecting how he feels but it’s so deep down he doesn’t even realize. He hasn’t experimented yet but one day he’ll be in a scenario, I’m imagining a party, he gets stuck in spin the bottle, and his whole world opens up. Search history filled with “am I gay quiz” Texting Dawn asking if he’s gay now. Rethinking his whole life. Realizing that “friendship feeling” was a crush. Internalized homophobia and sexuality crisis are very, very yummy.
Staci: I was going to make her straight but that’s boooooring. Bisexual with a male lean. She got a gf right after the show though she found the listener to her yapper.
Zoey: She/they pansexual. She liking everyone out there (as long as they’re not a jock). She’s still not sure about gender, demigirl is the label now but still thinking on it.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Anne Maria: Anne Maria is from a large Italian/Dominican household. Everyone says she’s only Italian and I know Italians tan hard and that her tan is fake but CMON. It feels wrong to have her be that tan and fully white. Her mom’s side is Italian and her dads is Dominican. She’s canonically from New Jersey so there’s always commotion going on. She had some pretty annoying cousins growing up but she put them in their place. She has 3 sisters and 2 brothers. She’s currently peaking in high school and has the most social skills out of anyone on the island (besides lightning but he’s dumb jock social yknow) You forgot how much of the cast this seasons are lowkey losers. She teachers the maggots some skills during the show.
B: B has a pretty chill accepting family. His dad is an engineer which is how he got into it. He was too scared to open up about his gender but his parents sort of expected it after not wearing dresses for years. He just started hormones when he was 15 so he only has some of the affects. Him not talking is partly dysphoria and part autism, he feels better communicating without having to use words. His family learned how to understand him and was estatic that someone else on the show could too. Dawn and him besties.
Brick: Sweet little Mama’s boy! He’s so great because he grew up with his mom and 2 older sisters. They’re 5 and 4 years older. He used to be really close to his dad but then he died in the army when Brick was about 8. As he grew up and realized he was trans he used his dad’s call sign from when he served. His dad is a huge reason why he has interest in the army. He’s scared to get into things like fashion in worry that he won’t present well enough. (Like he isn’t muscled out) Brick realized early and started transitioning at 11 and started hormones early too, that’s why he passes so well so early on.
Cameron: I was going to have Cameron’s dad leave him when he was younger or something, but then I thought of something else. Cameron’s mom had troubles with fertility so she tried ivf and that finally worked. That’s why she’s so protective, took so long for her to have a baby and he’s finally there. Cameron is severely stunted from being locked away but think we all knew that.
Dakota: Daddy’s girl. Her mother died during childbirth and her dad was so worried Dakota would feel guilty so he spoiled her rotten. In my trans version she immediately showed interest in traditional girly things. Her dad is such a worry wart so he was always taking her to doctors and psychiatrists to make sure she was okay. Giving her everything she wants and more, which had her transition very early. (I’ve noticed all the trans characters so far have such great access to hormones and now I’m jealous) Dakota is spoiled but she’s not spoiled rotten. She just doesn’t know any better when it comes to things but her heart is in the right place.
Dawn: Dawns parents are honestly annoying. They don’t understand a thing about Dawn and try not to show that but aren’t the best at it. That’s why she has her own little area in her audition tape. Her parents had this whole idea for her and her sisters. Wanted them all to be these cheerleaders andbecome nurses. Early on Dawn didn’t seem to want these things and that annoyed her parents. They don’t outright say anything but you can tell. Her older sister is what their parents want but she’s not mean about it. Her and Dawn are close and she’s understanding. Her younger sister is conflicted on what she wants to do but Dawn and her other sister help her decide without her parents influence.
Jo: Mommy issues 101. Her mom left when she was really young so she doesn’t even remember it. Her dad has had many, many girlfriends throughout the years but none have stuck. Despite that she still has a good relationship with her father. She has 3 older brothers who are all sports obsessed. This is why she’s so competitive and hostile. She also has bpd (bipolar depression) because I probably have it and she’s literally me. No strong female figure in her life is what caused her issues with femininity. Only ever seeing women as these things that come and go. My girl just needs a woman in her house for more than a week.
Lightning: Lightnings dad is a famous athlete so little bro is loaded. His parents got divorced when he was around 10 and it affected him more than he realized. He relies so much on his dad’s praise and acceptance that losing the show affected him much deeper than it would’ve appeared. No siblings but he’s very close with his grandparents on his dad’s side. They take off some of the pressure and say they’d love him not matter what, even if he fails. I don’t think lightning has any deep reasons for his IQ or third person talking, he’s just like that. The third person could be from the divorce, finding comfort in the nickname his mother gave him.
Mike: I think I got this idea from Total Trauma but might be remembering wrong. Mike was in the foster care system for almost his whole life before he got adopted at 14. Through the system is how he got his alters. Svetlana from watching gymnastics, Manitoba from watching things like Indiana Jones and Steve Irwin. Vito the sexual protector from trauma and Mal the general trauma protector. Chester was from when Mike was adopted at 7 for a short period, but the man who adopted him died of old age a week later. All this trauma led to his DID and he sort of knew what was going on but wasn’t fully diagnosed until he was adopted. The couple that adopted him are great and are very understanding with him. They’ve never been able to have kids of their own so they adopted Mike and are currently trying to adopt another child. Oh they’re also Jewish which we love.
Sam: Sam’s life is kinda boring. Love the dude, but I smell no trauma on him whatsoever. Middle class life. Most is some bullying in school but that fizzled out as he got older. But with the bullying is how he got into gaming and he fell in love and stayed with it. He has his little group at school but his high school is so big no one really notices them. Somehow, he stays bully free.
Scott: Him and his Pappy against the world. We already know a good chunk of his life. Poor farm boy with a mom, dad, sister, and cousins galore. His parents had a good relationship, but like the little shit Scott is he’s tested their relationship. His parents still love him despite everything. I do enjoy thinking that Rodney is somehow related, maybe one of the cousins is Rodney’s family. No real trauma causing him to be this way, only being on a poor farm. Slight mommy issues since he “likes him a bossy woman” but can’t see where those could come from. Maybe making his parents argue some yells went to him. Love you Freud.
Staci: We all agree Staci’s family facts aren’t real right?….. I think Staci is embarrassed by how boring her family is. Mom, dad, brother, sister, nothing big and special in her life. Hearing everyone else’s stories she got jealous. I don’t think she’s normally like that in person, or at least not the constant family facts. She’s still a yapper in person but not all about one thing. She wanted to impress everyone and that mixed with bad social cues equals first boot.
Zoey: She had such a lonely childhood… But seriously, only child syndrome hit her hard. Her parents didn’t want another child after the wild child Zoey was as a toddler. She mellowed out as she grew up. High functioning autism but still struggled with making friends. This led her to her indie tastes and trying to differentiate from everyone else. Purposely setting herself from others. Instead of siblings her parents just kept giving her animals. Not great ones, many hamsters, fish, and a few straight up insects. But she loved the all the same. Not to the extent of Dawn but the animals taught her compassion. Shes also Jewish because I want her and Mike to bond over that.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Anne Maria: My fem x butch love. Her and Jo I feel like can have such a good dynamic. Rivals to lovers type of thing. Trying to ignore their feelings until they both finally accept them. Shopping trips where Jo is carrying like 37 bags. I can also see her with Vito but I’m not fully sure how DID works with alters dating different people. But I can see them working out. Ship names are Joanna and Vitonne.
B: I can view him working with either Dawn or Cameron but that doesn’t match with my other headcanons. If I had to choose someone else I’d do Dj from the first gen. He’s so sweet and I can imagine him and B being able to communicate very well. Give him new ideas for inventions for his pets. Ship name Bj. Unfortunate.
Brick: Him x me. Done. But really if I HAVE to choose someone else I’d do Scott. The evil and good relationship dynamics. I saw someone compare them to Ishimondo and I love love LOVE Ishimondo so of course I’d be interested in them. Scolding Scott for bullying someone else, Scott buying him a present later to apologize. Yummy. Ship name Brott. I was about to do Scrick but remembered Brott is way better.
Cameron: A throuple with him, Mike, and Zoey is very tempting but again, Cameron is so straight. They also seem to work out better as friends. A person I’d choose would probably be Gwen from gen 1. They could very easily be read as friends but I think they could create a cute little relationship. Them both helping each other come out of their shell more and be their own person. No one else influencing how to be. Ship name is Gwameron.
Dakota: Some people are haters, but I think Dakota and Sam is just so cute. “Oh big band theory Penny and Leonard!!” OKAY?!? I love the big band theory too sue me. I’ll go into more detail with Sam since I have no other ships for him…… I like the idea of Dakota with Zoey or Dawn but she’s also super straight in my eyes. I saw some posts shipping her with Mike and I can kinda see where they’re coming from. Wannabe famous and the guy everything thinks is acting. Ship names are Dam and Mikota.
Dawn: There’s no one in this cast that outwardly sticks out to me. Maybe Zoey a bit but I’ll go into more detail in hers. In another cast thought I could see her with Sammy or Ella. I ship Sammy and Ella together from one story on here, something Twinning I want to say. They seem so cute together and I can view Dawn joining one or both of them. Princess girl with the magical girl. Sammy giving “But I’m a Cheerleader” vibes. They all could be so cute together with Dawn and Ella being the most understanding. Ship names Dawmy, Dawla, or Dawlmy.
Jo: My sweet butch girl. Already talked about her and Anne Maria and there’s only one other person I could see. Yup, time for my Jock rant. Their dynamic is so much fun with them both trying to lead but Brick still stuck following the rules. He’s both scared and admirers her with Jo having this admiration she won’t admit. And Brick would be so understanding and open and supportive with her. I also feel like the show tried to hint at it with how much they interacted, romantic music played in one scene where Jo helped him, and the whole “maybe Brick and Jo want to kiss and make up?” I truly believe there was supposed to be a romantic relationship between them. And their ship name??? Jock for the two athletic characters???? That’s adorable and makes me want to ship it just from that. But I CANT they’re so perfect yet so gay at the same time. I can see it so well but also only view them each as gay. In another world they’re both bi but only bi because of each other. Ship name is jock, top ten best ship names.
Lightning: Again, one part of me wants him gay so much but I just can’t see it. No one in the cast really stands out with him to me. Think when I was younger I shipped him with Jo but that’s when I only watched All Stars and didn’t know about roti. I’ve grown now and found a much cuter ship. I’m 99% sure I read it from Total Quarantine but I might be wrong. I love the idea of him and Sky from Gen three. Another athlete but she can be much more patient with him and he admirers her so much. Able to keep up with him with her gymnastics and help explain things to him. Both looking past the athletic exterior. Also like, Lightning? Sky? Matching so cute. Ship name would be Thunderstorm because I want to do something cute with them.
Mike: Him and Zoey are basic but cute. They’re such the “it couple” for the season but I don’t mind it. They work well together with the whole “weirdo thing”. Their relationship is rushed but so is the entire season. Hated the plot armour in all stars but that’s a whole new can of worms. As a relationship they’re a sweet little choice. Like vanilla ice cream, not a favorite but I won’t say no to it. I don’t really have any ships for his alters besides the Vito one earlier. Think Manitoba said he had a wife so good for him. Their ship name is Zoke, classic.
Sam: Him and Dakota are adorable fight me. I love how he viewed her as a hot girl at first but also genuinely wanted to get to know her more and cared about her opinion. Then when her vanity went away and she became Dakotazoid, he STILL loved her. He was there the whole way through. And while Dakota wasn’t on board at first she was touched by someone actually caring about what she had to say. Think the mutation heightened these feelings but the scene where she becomes a pro wrestler and Sam is stoked is so cute. Ship name is Dam. Again. Or Samota.
Scott: Now I might get a little controversial here but I’m going to say it. … Scott and Courtney are cute. I SAID IT. I’m not fully sure with the age differences between the seasons but let’s assume it’s not illegal because the show itself can’t keep track of them. But they’re so cute. Scott’s little puppy crush on her and Courtney trying to ignore him. At first just using him to move on from Duncan turning into actually enjoying being around him. Scott’s love for “bossy women” with Courtney being the bossiest. It’s like Duncey in a new font that isn’t borderline abusive. Courtney civilizing him and Scott showing her new ways of life. Ship name is Scottney.
Staci: Honestly, it’s hard for me to imagine her with anyone from this cast. Maybe B? I could see an argument for the talking x non talking which could be cute but not my cup of tea. I said before I think she got a girlfriend outside of the show. In the show though I’d put her with maybe Leonard or Sugar from Gen three. Both could feed into her stories and share their own. Have fun in a fantasy world together. Ship names could be Laci and Stagar.
Zoey: Again, Zoke is a classic. I can’t tell if it would’ve been cute or mean if she ended up with a jock. Though it does break trends with the indie girl actually ending up with another different guy. Someone else I could imagine her going with is Dawn. Some points she seems to be scared of Dawn and think she’s a wizard, but then next season she uses tarot cards so? I think Dawn could show her a new world with spirituality and they could do crafts together. Crocheting shirts and bags type of things. Their ship name is Doey.
