Headcanons are my absolute favourite part of RP, so I wanted an excuse to be nosy and read some of yours!!
This was a pretty popular one back on tumblr!
1) post your blank TLs
2) send each other fruits/questions!
Honestly, the fruits aren't necessary but they make it cute.
If this one doesn't suit your fancy, I'll post a TL with a
more detailed meme and you can send each other prompts
on that instead.
(credit!)

cw for dysphoria, transphobia, and disordered eating
This was part of what made the SQUIP so appealing to him. Something that can help you achieve your wildest dreams? Something hooked up to your brain that can get it to produce the right chemicals without a dozen doctor exams? Of course he was going to sign up for that, not just so he could stop feeling so hopeless and be liked by people in his school, but so he could get on testosterone no problem and stop his body from changing through puberty in ways he couldn't get behind.
The thing about having the SQUIP handle everything for him, though, is that he ended up not... having a lot of choice in his identity and the way he expresses it afterwards. He gets ripped, and honestly, he kind of likes that, but the way his outfit is like... tailored specifically to make him look like a man's man (wife beater with the sleeves cut lower, camo pants, his dad's old dog tags) probably didn't make him feel great. Nor did it help that the SQUIP had him constantly bullying people for being outside the expected masculinity norm ("Stalls are for girls. Are you a girl, Jeremy?") He'd like to explore his appearance a little more now that he's free to be himself, but those rules he ingrained in his head can be hard to kick.
(Oh, and naturally, he hates how small he is. He's 5 foot 3 and for some reason, he lies and says he's 5 foot 5 instead like that'll make it better...)
π I had to think about this one forever, but I think Rich gives off fall vibes! His SQUIP-fueled firey and outgoing summer energy mellowed out into sort of a warm, cozy fall feeling. Doesn't help that the colours of the season, oranges and reds and yellows, are colours I'd associate with him. Plus he's a pumpkin spice latte bitch, so you know. Only downside about fall to him is that Halloween exists...
π RICH IS SO DESPERATE TO BE LOVED I SWEAR TO GOD... He just. Can't help it. He sexted girls at the first sign of them being interested as a freshman, he asks if Michael is single the minute he figures out that he's bi... not to mention that he's been struggling with complicated feelings towards the school's most popular boy. I think part of this is probably stemming from his desire for attention and connection, just wanting someone to notice him at least, and now has extended into him being a bit of a romantic. He's pretty flirty, but he probably wouldn't push for more than that unless someone really showed an interest in him... still though, he likes to admire people and wish for what could be!
(as for past flings (or future?) Rich does ask Michael out to prom and I believe they have a good thing going at least until college.)
π Rich's diet has been... bad! For quite a while! With his dad being neglecting and dangerous when he was drunk, Rich learned to live on what he could get, when he could get it. He often skipped breakfast and got away with school snacks for lunch, then would sneak whatever wasn't noisy and didn't need to be heated up to his room for supper.
After getting a SQUIP, it was able to get him a little more nutritional value by plotting out specifically what things he should squirrel away at home and what to buy with his spending money he was suddenly getting for selling SQUIPs, but that wasn't much better, with him counting calories are being reminded constantly of his exercise routine. He was told that if he ever had a cheat day, it would likely lead to a future where Chris Hemsworth died. CAN'T HAVE THAT.
This, again, is one of those things he's slowly getting used to being normal about now that he's on the ship. He still hides away food in subtle places in his cabin just in case, though.
