💕 for the teadoc of ur choice!

A love headcanon! <3

But how could I choose just one character!! Also since it's so vague the vibes kind of change from char to char. (Bambi-Paige under the cut!)

Annisa

She hasn't realized it yet, but Annisa's chronically bad at telling early platonic and romantic feelings apart. She typically assumes it's a feeling of friendship, and gets over the confusion pretty fast anyways, but add in how lonely she's been lately, and, well.........

Bambi (by special request <33)

Bambi's “early” stages of crushing have really changed alongside her! When she was a kid/younger teen, she went through all the motions she thought you were supposed to go through: writing "Mrs. Bambi [X]" over and over, giggling over "sucessful" games of MASH with her friends, changing her perfume to match her crush's favourite to make herself more appealing, and so on.

When she first started crushing on Chloe, she found her real reaction wasn't quiiiite so picture-perfect! While she still put in extra effort with her appearance, she didn’t want to change anything about herself. Instead, she focused on how she could be the one to make Chloe feel good about herself. She took the time to get to know her so her compliments would land better, laughed at her jokes, and embellished their conversations with shy little touches at the right moments. But the jealousy, oh the jealousy… she hated it, but the rare occasions Chloe would turn her attention to someone else felt like being stabbed. It drove her to want to make Chloe jealous in return, which she hated too (she would’ve questioned who she was in those moments, if she’d stopped to think).

Then, during season 4, there was the addition of frustration at the speed of things. The touchiness grew less innocent, and the jealousy persisted. I think that, even though it wasn’t a new crush in late 2025 when she was sick, or early 2026 when she recovered, there were fresh feelings of the wistful kind. It was almost all yearning and no action. She was still as touchy as Chloe would let her be, but she wasn’t so jealous, she didn’t try so hard to get her attention - she was just… sad.

Daniel

Daniel loves pretty similarly to how a (feral-to-tame) cat loves. At first, he's very flighty and fearful and might need someone to be a biiiit pushy to break down his walls. Then, he likes to be around those he loves, but in his own space most of the time. He's big on giving gifts, especially if it's food. He may not groom someone directly, but he's always carrying a lint roller. Despite enjoying the quiet and being rather quiet himself, he'll seek out ✨unnecessary✨ conversation with those he loves. And finally, in his limited relationship experience, once he trusts a partner deeply enough, he can be surprisingly cuddly! (He doesn't really get platonically-cuddly, but Chloe and Bambi could probably convince him) (only one person’s gotten close enough to know if his behaviour lines up any further!)

Lola

Lola's right about her type... when it comes to short-term relationships! She has trouble actually envisioning her future, and with it, what kind of partner would suit her best in the long-run. She’s got a big problem of wanting everything and everyone. She might think she wants a mean girl or someone to give her an outpouring of praise, but it bores her over time. She can’t handle being the one getting simped over or someone not growing softer with her if it’s her committed relationship, even if her crush-delirium doesn’t exactly let her see that. What does she actually need? Well, that’s what she’s trying to figure out.

Mads

Mads does really well when she can express her love as worship. So much so that she’s been able to get over a couple of her own deep-seated insecurities when a loved one has had the same or similar. It doesn’t always work, but it does help.

Manny

Manny will be at least partially saved from his irradiated zombification by the power of love!

Moss

Moss and their siblings never had a lot of friends growing up, and each had their own reasons why their moms were worried about those potential friends having the right intentions. So, when one of the MacLeod kids gets close enough to bring a friend home, and that friend gets both moms’ approval, they’re fully embraced as a part of the family, in whatever sense they may need it. An invitation to family camping trips, having someone to show up for parent-teacher conferences, or just having a saved seat at the table. Moss sees the Kirbys and Annisa as an indisputable part of their family (and hopefully soon Leaf will be too)!

Paige

Paige was pretty equally raised by her parents and both sets of grandparents. When she was little, and her teachers still got the kids to make crafts for Mother’s and Father’s Day, Paige always managed to get incredibly stressed out! When it was a card or cheap craft, she’d rush herself to make 3 copies (tears) and then they wouldn’t look as good as everyone else’s (more tears). If it was a more expensive or limited craft and her teachers only let her do one, she wouldn’t know who to pick to make it for (again, tears). Those crafts always got dedicated to all 3 adults, so they occasionally joke about how they’d never be able to move into separate homes - it’s true that they’d fight too much over who got to keep what!

Bonus: the main siblings!

Ajay

Ajay may try to be the cool, calm, and collected older brother Lola can look up to, but they’re more similar than he’d care to admit. He may not act on many of his impulsive desires, but even before Evelyn flirted with him for the first time, he was tempted to run away to St. John’s to be closer to her. If she’d seriously asked him to - even when they were barely casual - he’s not sure he would’ve been able to say no.

Esther

Though they’re now well-known for their love of bunnies, Esther’s first loves were flowers and photography. Before their schedule was packed to the brim with after school activities, they spent most of their time being watched by Paige’s nonna, who always encouraged the kids to get their hands dirty and help her garden grow. They developed a special interest in flowers in particular, and always bugged their parents for more gardening books or plants for their own yard. They near-obsessively documented their flowers in the early years, and once they hit their teen years, began taking more artistic shots as well. After Paige graduated high school, Esther gave up on photography. They didn’t have a ton of spare time for the hobby anymore. Besides, Esther was being pushed into the identities of “Daniel’s little sibling” and “Paige’s friend” by the show, and photography had become known as Paige’s “thing”. They didn’t need more of their identity being attributed to someone else.
