new john jacob mcallister headcanon incoming

he says this line:

which reminded me of the song ‘i am what i am’ from the musical la cage aux folles (which was incidentally released just less than a century after the off season is meant to take place) which was an anthem for gay men during the AIDS crisis

because of this very obscure connection, ive decided to headcanon john jacob as a bisexual man (although he wouldnt have used that exact wording because of the time period) which works FANTASTICALLY with his character

he spends the first half of the play pretending to be someone he isn’t, because other people are trying to ‘fix’ or ‘correct’ him. the marriage is arranged but he doesn’t stop being a romantic or a gentleman after revealing that he is ‘just a baker’s son from fife’. the parts of him that the earls/lords of essex and suffolk (geoffrey and clive) wanted to bring out (his chivalry, and gentlemanly nature—and in this metaphor liking women) were always there. however, the parts of him they wanted to suppress (his being scottish, and not of a wealthy upbringing—and in this metaphor liking men) were undeniable and even if he tried to hide them they’d end up slipping through. very sweetly, him and angelina are only able to fall in love after he tells her the truth.

another historical detail that would explain his eagerness to change and become more like who they wanted him to be is that 1895 was the year that the oscar wilde trials were happening in the old bailey in london (for anyone who doesnt know oscar wilde was tried and later imprisoned for sodomy by his boyfriend’s dad). meaning it would be terrifying to be a young bisexual man at the time, and he has just been taken to london for the first time, the exact place the trials are taking place.

also i headcanon that the off season takes place during spring (hence the rain) and the oscar wilde trials started on 26 april 1895 so :)

bonus thought, luke is dressed in a floral print shirt and skinny jeans which is a sort of more feminine (? i say with a pinch of monosodium glutamate cause all that is a social construct and im non-binary so fuck gendered clothing) outfit and oscar wilde was part of the aesthetic movement is actually considered one of the formative figures for what people think ‘dressing gay’ looks like so if john jacob mcallister dressed similar to luke then he would have been absolutely terrified about being himself in that time period

I missed my boy, Michael Cavendish (SFTH The Pilot’s Final Flight)

I headcanon that he went to university for aerospace engineering even after rescuing his dad. He started researching when he was young to help look for his dad, and then it just stuck (…and yes he is smoking at a gas station, he adopted his mother’s smoking habit HAHAHA)

Phantom Of Hornchurch incorrect quotes because I can (includes blessedroll/phandrews):

Julian: Hey, what’s your Netflix password?

Begruvia: ihopeyoudie

Julian: Thank you!

----

Andrews, at Begruvia: Of course you have blood all over you, and pronouns.

----

Andrews, throwing a pokeball at Begruvia: Begruvia, I choose you!

Begruvia, not looking up from their book and catching it: You need an Ultra ball to catch this Legendary Pokémon.

----

Julian: What are your adjectives?

Julian's Mum: …You mean my pronouns?

Julian: No, I know what your pronouns are! What are your adjectives?

Julian's Mum: …I dunno. What are yours?

Julian: Noisy and chaotic!

Julian's Mum: I’ve never had something go from making no sense to making complete sense so quickly.

----

Julian, cowering in fear: What do you want from me?!

Begruvia, standing in front of Julian: *bites into the whole KitKat bar like a heathen*

Julian, crying: Please...stop...

----

Andrews: This bloodline ends with me.

Julian's Mum: That's the fanciest way I've ever heard someone say "I'm gay".

----

Julian: Wow, did you hear that voice crack?

Begruvia: That wasn't a voice crack, that was a whole voice meth.

----

Begruvia: *hiding something in their coat* I think we should adopt another kid!

Andrews: No.

Begruvia: Why not?

Andrews: Because when you say “kid”, you mean “cat”, and we already have fifteen of those.

Begruvia: *unzips coat* Sixteen.

Begruvia: I'd make fun of your height but there isn't enough to make fun of.
