do you have any headcanons for reggie with a nonbinary s/o?

Omg omggggggggg YES I DO

First, imma give my long hc for how they’d meet/get together and then move onto smaller hcs. (I will be referring to Reggie’s s/o as Pretty Person bc that’s how Reggie sees them and he’d be very angry if anyone denied their beauty)

So I’d imagine the boys don’t know a ton about LGBTQ+ stuff other than the ones that were more prominent in the 90’s (like gay/lesbian, trans, and mayyyybe bi, but not much more about anything else). So Julie kinda gives them a crash course at one point (Alex is ecstatic) and Reggie has this revelation of “woah..... I can like guys AND GIRLS AND IT’S NOT WEIRD??? WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME SOONER” and Julie’s like “It’s better than that... you can like ✨ANYONE✨.”

A few months go by and Reggie’s with Julie and Willie (i hc that Julie would be able to see certain other ghosts, and also Willie is already free here) and they’re just hanging out at the beach/park, and then he spots them.

“Who is ✨that✨,” Reggie asks, and he’s got this enchanted look on his face, the one he gets when he’s just like WOW PRETTY PERSON

And Willie’s like “oh, that’s *name*. They’re pretty chill.”

And Reggie manages to shake himself out of his daze for a moment and is like “‘They’. So they’re uh,,, what’s the word? Julie I forgot the word.”

And Julie laughs a little and reminds him. “Non-binary.” And she’s looking at Reggie, who’s staring at Pretty Person, and says, “why? Does Reggie have a crushhhhh???” (Because no one stares THAT much unless they have a crush).

And Reggie gets all red and is like “whattt??? Of course not! I mean, I-” He stops talking when he sees the looks he’s getting form Julie and Willie. “Okay... I mean they’re... cute.... but-”

And before he can get another words out, Willie’s like “I’ll introduce you.”

And Reggie’s nervous because talking to hot people is HARD but Willie drags him over and is like “hey there *name* this is Reggie.”

Pretty Person is very friendly (reggies like “they’re NICE TOO?!?”) and Reggie is completely flustered, and when did he get so bad at flirting? (Answer: He was never that good).

Anyways Reggie mentions the band and Pretty Person shows great interest, so Reggie invites them over to watch him and the band practice sometime. Pretty Person eagerly accepts.

Fast forward, everyone is teasing Reggie about his crush coming over. He’s embarrassed and refuses to admit how hard he’s crushing.

When Pretty Person does come over, Reggie’s surprised at how well he keeps his composure while playing. Afterward everyone is just hanging out and talking and Reggie is getting to know Pretty Person better.

Pretty Person is like “I know you’re relatively new to to the ghost stuff so sorry if you’re still touchy/sensitive about it but uh... when did you die?”

And Reggie’s like “nah it’s chill. 1995. You?”

And Pretty Person says, “2017.” Then, cautiously, “you’re uh, you’re cool with me, like, being trans/nb, right?”

And Reggie’s like “oh yeah totally don’t worry sjdhdjsjk”

It’s smooth sailing from there for the most part. A month later Pretty Person asks Reggie out. He excitedly accepts.

Now for some shorter headcanons!

Since the terms “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” don’t apply, Reggie finds the most creative way to reference his s/o. This results in “my partner in crime/my ethereal deity/my angelic counterpart” etc. etc. If he HAS to be formal he sticks with partner. His s/o loves them all.

Reggie and his partner are both bisexual so they have bi-themed EVERYTHING. Pins, flags, E V E R Y T H I N G. You can’t escape the bi.

He goes feral at anyone who deliberately misgenders his s/o (as he should).

Pretty Person plays with Reggie’s hair ALL THE TIME because “it’s fluffy!”

Pretty Person isn’t much of a singer but that doesn’t stop them and Reggie from screaming song lyrics together and from Reggie enjoying listening to them hum. He calls them his Angel of Music (Alex, Luke and Reggie all watched Phantom of the Opera fight me).

Pretty Person would be GREAT friends with Alex and very resssuring about anything regarding his sexuality (I feel like the boys would still have some negative connotations to it since they grew up in the 80s). Pretty Person ALSO helps Luke figure out what he identifies as because He Has No Idea. (Luke is pan👀)

Reggie is CONSTANTLY like “Look at my s/o. They’re the best. I love them. I don’t deserve them. They-”

Julie and Pretty Person also get along GREAT. Julie, Willie, and Pretty Person actually understand modern humor. It drives Luke, Alex, and Reggie up the WALL but none of them can be too angry bc they all love their s/o’s so much.

Pretty Person died when their hair was light pink (and it’s cut short because short pink hair is a LOOK) and they can’t change it, so they’re delighted to find out that Reggie loves it.

Reggie learns a whole lot about non-gender conforming people from his s/o. Pretty Person is happy to teach him since they know Reggie grew up in a time when it wasn’t talked about as much.

Thanks for the ask!! This was lots of fun :)

(Oh, and please excuse any typos haha)

[hugsfromdad]

Um... Well... THAT happened. holy shit. Let me tell you about my night. (Ya bisexual boi got his flirting mojo back but now idk what to do)

(This is a long story, but worth it. my theater crush comes in at the end fyi for those keeping up with me)

So, opening night of this play i've been working on just happened.

(Reminder: this is my first play ever)

And, it was beyond incredible. I had nothing to compare it to, but literally everyone was freaking out because of how good it apparently was.

....also apparently I was all everyone could talk about.

We had a theater critic there who was(is) gonna write us a review, and everyone was stressed about what he was gonna think (except me cause I had no idea if that was important. I guess it was)

WELL, I was pulled aside afterwards by both our director, and the mother of a cast member to tell me that not only did the critic love it, but he loved me. He said this was the best show he has ever seen at that theater...and he's directed shows there before! But I was being told that he loved me...so yeah, i really didn't know what to do with that but I guess it's really great

I have one of the 2 slow songs, and I have a riff near the end of mine. Well, I turned the riff into me holding a note for a long ass time. Like, the longest I've ever held a note. And then, to top it off, I hit a really high note at the very end.

Everyone fucking loved it. They positively freaked out and it was, again, so overwhelming. I didnt know what to do with it or how to react.

After the show, the cast and their families, friends, and as much of the audience who wanted, went to a restaurant/pub down the road that was staying open late soley for us. Dude, there was a big crowd.

I had been talking to my director with my mother right after the show and before we went over, and he could not shut up about people's reaction to me. It was overwhelming. He kept telling me about all these important people who had loved me and wanted to know about me and were freaking out when he told them it was my first show. A couple other cast memebers also came over and were talking with us and my mum and they kept complimenting and praising me and I genuinely didnt know what to do with it.

So we go to the pub and I start to like hang out and then--

Girls

talking to me.

People

wanting to hang with me and laughing at everything I had to say.

Backing up for a sec; at the absolute beginning of this whole play process at auditions, there was a cast member I noticed as very attractive and i had my eye on. She's probably older than my parents, but a ridiculously gorgeous woman, and high soprano.

Well, she was glued to me for some reason. After I walked in and had been there for a minute talking with my family, she comes over and we started talking. ....and kept talking. Like, this was the most i had ever talked with her this entire thing, and she was just sipping her single glass of wine and talking and laughing with me. I was genuinely confused as to whether she was just proud of me, her motherly instincts had kicked in, or if there was something else cause uh... I wish I could describe her eyes when she looked at me.

OH, also I should mention that when she decided to leave, she pulls me into this long, tight hug, and then fucking tucks her head in and kisses me quite gently on the cheek. I genuinely was stunned because we had maybe hugged like... once(?) before when she was nervous and cold.

Oh, and speaking of cold/clothes, i should mention that I was wearing... a really good outfit. I had planned it out so i would look really good cause I play a nerd in the show and i wanted to counteract that. Well, i did. I'll post a picture of it later if i remember. But specifically once I took my jacket off, my short sleeves were rolled up (queer eye would be proud) and all of my tattoos were showing.

And oh my god,

did people love them.

I had people touching my arms, asking what they meant, mentioning that they had been wondering about my tattoos all night cause they had seen a glimpse of them at the beginning of the show when i wore a t-shirt for like one song.

Dude, it was insane.

So there was this other girl who had some incredible silver shoes there and this chick was flirrrrting. She was(is) so fucking cool. Like, her makeup was WILD and jeffree star would have been proud-- like glitter eyeshadow type proud. And she was like talking and laughing with me, then hanging with her friends and playing shuffle board-- but coming back to me to tell me about it. It was kinda overwhelming. By the end of the night, she comes up to me and like asks for my info and like says she wants to be in a play with me and we should be friends and all that. She then texted me right after too 🙈

There was also the drummer's girlfriend who, holy fucking shit she absolutely is stunning and slays life and just.. I cant. She's so cool and gorgeous and confident and wow. And she and i wound up talking and laughing and joking for quite a bit as well. I sweear, i don't get how her eyes exist, cause she would look at me and it was like with beautifully cunning and see right through you type of look..and yet full of amusement. Like she was ready and waiting to enjoy what i had to say. Crazy. But she and I hung for quite awhile. She'll be here today at this performance too and she told me that she is expecting me to have a different meaning behind my tattoos when she asks about then tonight.

There were some more friends of our cast members who were like talking with me and touching my arms and grabbing my hand. one woman even fucking took my hand and kissed it. I swear. Woah. It was so overwhelming. Everyone was just telling me how blown away they were and that i have to have to have to keep acting. I guess word might have gotten out that i was unsure whether i wanted to do more acting or not... People were literally begging me to do another play. My director literally is begging me to do another one... Like begging. You shoulda seen his eyes.

OH. speaking of guys, there was this beautiful young man who came up to me and was like telling me how much he loved my performance and was just blown away. Well, apparently this kid is like super critical and very talented and trained with vocals and he could not get over me. He was(is) definitely not straight and i honestly was enjoying him way too much. My cast member who was still with me at that point said to me afterwards that praise from him is rare and really has weight. So, yay lol

(I will admit that as overwhelmed as I was with all of the praise, I was handling the flirting well. I will admit to that. My instincts kicked in and i was flirting and being smooth. I couldnt help it.)

AND. now, for my final person who I have been holding out talking about-- my gorgeous cast member who has the deep voice and cuddles me for part of the play...

Dear lord. Her eyes on me. I really wanted to stop breathing. At the end of the night she and our director, the drummers girlfriend, my friend Kai (holy shit he's beautiful and he came all this way just to see my performance and he met my dad and god I love him but that's another post) and my mum and I were all hanging out. At one point, I was looking at and talking to our director. And then, I felt her eyes on me. Like, she was standing right next to me, but i FELT her eyes on me.

And oh my god, like what the fucking hell, I snuck and glance and i wonder if it was the alcohol, but her eyes are like glowing and filled with like... I don't even know. Like the biggest joy and adoring look I've ever seen. I forced myself to not make eye contact anymore just because what I could see of here eyes out of the corner of mine was making me slightly dizzy.

She put arms around me multiple times that night and when it was time to leave, she comes over, gives me this look I cant quite make sense of, and then grabs my face and kisses my cheek. Like, just suddenly. In front of my mom. And it was like a kiss that threw me way off holy shit cause I've never really gotten cheek kisses from people. But wow. This was one.

I swear my head was spinning and I did not know what to do with it all. Not just her, but everyone else too. However, when I'm driving home and talking with my little brother (dear god he's amazing. It was 1am and he was just letting me have my night. I fucking am so grateful for him) I mentioned the people flirting with me and HE GOES "oh my gosh, especially [her name]."

I kind of try to not react, but he said it like mutliple times as we drove "oh she was flirting. How she was looking at you...oh yeah." And I kind of just silently died the entire time.

Okay. So that's it. My very bisexual adventure. It's been a long time since one of those have happened. Sorry for the long read, but i needed to get it all out somewhere. I have another performance tonight and then on Sunday. And then 3 next weekend. So, expect more to happen.

I have no fucking idea how this is all gonna wind up, but I did NOT and was NOT expecting or ready for last night. I really wasnt. I really didn't. I still cant believe it. Idk what I'm gonna do.

Dear god.
