Your Favorite Martian Headcanons, pt 2 of ?
This time, I'm doing it with Gen 2.
Puff Puff
He's going into therapy now. Gen 1.5 him was an asshole and now he's trying to improve.
He's in a huge situationship with Tig, trying to be better for her, but he kinda doesn't know how.
Despite his job as a waiter, it is better pay than his previous job.
Puff Puff lives with his grandma after she left the nursing home back in 1.5, but he lives there half-time. He leaves when he's either on tour with the guys or if he vanishes since he tends to do that sometimes. He always comes back, though. Surprisingly, he is very protective of his Meemaw.
He's made amends with people he's messed things up with. Him and Deejayne aren't friends but are on civil terms now.
He eventually got back in touch with Wilton (Nerdy dude from gen 1.5) and they talk a lot.
Deejay
Him and Deejayne are still very close! They facetime very often, and Deejayne invites him over during the holidays.
He uses online therapy since it's more in his budget, and he definitely finds YFM to be a therapeutic outlet.
His change of voice was because he got vocal lessons from Puff Puff and Benatar.
He got back in touch with estranged family.
Over the years since gen 1.5, Deejay is no longer the "voice of reason" since the guys all matured more and now the role of being the voice of reason is a little more evenly distributed among the 4 members.
He's still in charge of paying Netflix, though.
Axel
He decided to get buff since constant and structured movements helped him focus on his songs and calmed him down.
He's got folks somewhere, he doesn't know where. But he does know that his number one family is in an RV.
Both him and Puff Puff stopped being too mean to Benatar after he openly expressed a dislike for it.
Over the years, the guys have gotten closer as the four of them matured and understood the need to be more deeply connected in order to be a stronger band. As a result, Axel is more open to talking about how he feels now and encourages his bandmates to do the same.
He's still crummy with emotions, but he tries. He mostly uses the drums to convey his feelings.
He's getting treatment for his herpes back in gen 1.5. He's a lot more responsible with sex now.
Benatar
He actually became more assertive over the years. He's still polite, but he doesn't let anyone disrespect him anymore.
He teaches Axel English work and literary analysis since Axel was unable to finish high school.
He was initially picked on because he was the odd one out in terms of lifestyle. The other three were poor and had physically abusive parental figures in their lives. Benatar had a nice house and was well off, but his mother was emotionally, verbally, and mentally abusive, and his father was around but he wasn't emotionally available for Benatar and would frequently parentify him. This explains his passive and quiet demeanor in the past generations of Your Favorite Martian.
He plays GTA 5 and stops at the redlights, acts nice to everyone, but gets headshots every mission, gold every mission, and he stalks pedestrians at night. Don't worry, he stalks all genders of NPCs at night. He's also terrifyingly good at escaping the cops.
He had Puff Puff sing "Real Girl" for him because he's still too shy to sing a whole song by himself. He hasn't done that since "Jupiter."
In the world where Your Favorite Martian takes place, humans in the human world are presented as works of fiction. In our world, Your Favorite Martian is a cartoon band. In the world of Your Favorite, however, humans are works of fiction. We come in the form of movies, books, and other sources of media. Each person in the world is a work of fiction of some sort. With all that said, Benatar wrote "Real Girl" because of his "fictional" crush on a girl from a movie he watched. The movie was about the girl as the protagonist and her life as a young woman navigating the world of womanhood. Benatar made this song because he knew that the screen was a barrier separating two worlds, hence why he called her a "Real Girl" even though in his world, she is a fictional character.
