i need my sad cowboy emoji on here 🥺

hey, guys, whoever even is still here.

i'm going to bring bonnie back, but i'm going to follow k's lead and be like... "detached from canon UNLESS you show up with a canon and want to write with me". because i do miss the gremlin, but playing this thing on Normal Mode is too hard, these days. now, when i finally succeed in kickstarting an rpc revival...

anyway. details to come. i think i'm too lazy to move her blogs again, so i'll probably still be right here. if you have anything you want me to pencil her in for re: verse-type things, there has never been a better time to tell me.

Random headcanon generator

Bonnie can't handle criticism. ❌ bonnie is world-class at handling criticism. gold medalist at the 'dealing with people's shit' olympics

Bonnie is very good at walking in platform heels. ✔️ not really her style, but i have seen her run so fast in heels that i would never doubt her abilities

Bonnie chews their nails when nervous. ✔️ canon, actually

If someone they knew committed a crime, Bonnie would cover for them. ✔️ if someone she knew committed a crime, bonnie would implicate herself in it, probably. historically. unless she hated them

Bonnie is great with kids. ❌ not in the usual sense. if she knows the kid, she will be good with them, because she is very good at meeting people where they are and not projecting crap (be it trauma-related or just Child Stereotypes). but if you just threw her some stranger to babysit, they would both feel so awkward about it

Bonnie could easily survive The Hunger Games. ✔️ yeah. she would be that ginger kid with the poisons. but better at it

Bonnie has an incredible long-term memory but an awful short-term memory. ❌ bonnie [almost definitely] has an eidetic memory. she is like an information tank

Bonnie is a dog person. ❌ she hates dogs :-( though, to be fair, she has frank

Bonnie has chronic nightmares. ✔️ she just doesn't remember them almost ever because of the alcoholism

Bonnie set a public school on fire and got away with it. ✔️ i'm not calling that a 'headcanon' but honestly, knowing how she felt about every aspect of her life as a kid, it seems plausible

Bonnie's favorite color is pink. ❌ it's not her favorite --- she is a Blue Guy --- but she does love it. her phone case is hot pink :-)

If the source material was a musical, Bonnie would be the one asking why everyone is singing. ✔️ she can't be having fun on main like that

Bonnie makes 'your mom' jokes. ❌ she doesn't have to. she literally has fucked your mom

Bonnie instinctively cleans messes in their own house as well as other people's. ✔️ kind of the thesis of her, innit

Bonnie sings in the shower. ❌ don't be disgusting. the shower is for crying

(She) is silent, but it’s not a silence with peace in it. It takes up space, like some heavy thing made of rusted iron built around her.

Sense and other specific headcanons.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE? soap. couldn't even tell you what kind because i would almost guarantee it's 'unscented'. she does not want to be commented on.

WHAT DO YOUR MUSE’S HANDS FEEL LIKE? they're hands. they gradually get softer when she's 30+ and doing The Lawyer Thing but they're not in great shape because... well. you try and convince her to sit defenseless in a chair for an hour while a stranger makes excruciating small talk at her. it's not going to happen. and also. she just does not care.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY EAT IN A DAY? depends. she's a very lazy cook and she is also not home a lot. mostly people will just kind of throw her biscuits like she is a sad dog.

DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE? your guess is as good as mine. i know i have every right to make up the answer to this, and normally i would, but it seems like a violation of privacy here somehow. that's not my business. has bonnie ever sung before? ever in her life? NOT my business, if so

DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE ANY BAD HABITS OR NERVOUS TICS? she bites her nails REALLY badly. and she rubs at her neck/shoulder a lot when she's, like, percolating. she also invented the trauma shower. (she also is a functioning alcoholic.)

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY LOOK LIKE / WEAR? the general answer would be 'a colorful pantsuit', but it varies with age and era, obviously. she still probably very much is in sweats/jeans and a sweatshirt if she's not working.

IS YOUR MUSE AFFECTIONATE? HOW SO? not ordinarily. she is an absolutely world class hugger but that's kind of on a need-to-know basis.

WHAT POSITION DOES YOUR MUSE SLEEP IN? on her stomach with her pillow over her head. she can spoon if she's not by herself but... she's probably by herself. even if she's living with somebody she absolutely has her own bed.

COULD YOU HEAR YOUR MUSE IN THE HALLWAY FROM ANOTHER ROOM? definitely not if she wasn't in heels. she could probably still sneak up on you even in them, though, if she really wanted to. she is very small and relies very heavily on her ability to camouflage.

i LOVE writing bonnie dialogue with bev. i love it. i love it. put her in the same room as a Big Personality who Needs Management and she knows what to do! she will thrive! put her in the same room as someone who is even more awkward and anxious than she has ever felt in her life and she will just. Start animorphing into them in her desperate need to placate.

"So, you have this friend..." It's not a necessarily unlikely story. If anybody knows what it's like to have a friend courting legal trouble, it's her. When the half-joke doesn't really land, though --- that's what she gets for trying something new --- Bonnie clears her throat, sobers up. "It's not a crime to think bad thoughts. Or --- any kind of thoughts." And if it were, it wouldn't matter, anyway, because nobody can read minds ... but she doesn't expect that kind of logic to track with Bev: if it would, he wouldn't be here. "You can think whatever you want. Or, um. So can anybody else."

Immediately caving, self-admitting, he gestures to her, acknowledging the underlying implication: "Uh. Yes. Yeah. Yes." Bonnie assumes he's talking about himself. That makes sense. Totally. He cannot fault her for it. But a part of him wants to abandon the initial thought-culprit and dissect that suspicion. She isn't wrong to worry about his thoughts. But he doesn't want her to worry. He worries she worries. His brow pinch-winces, gaze briefly prodding her expression: "Do you—?" It isn't the time. How he feels about how she feels about him isn't kind, it's selfish. "No. No. Uhm." He ticks his head to the side, smiles, restarts. "Not for me. I mean, it's not my thoughts I'm worried about." He stifles out a laugh. "Wild, I know."

"Bev." Metaphorically, but mercifully not literally, her head is in her hands. She's taken for granted that this wasn't a scenario she needed to plan for. His cheesy little finger guns are only adding to the mounting dread. "Are you ---" she takes a deep breath --- "are you asking me if you can go to jail for committing thought crimes?"

@vigil

Bev finger guns at Bonnie. With a palpable casualness to his tone, and quickly, as though he can somehow smuggle the topic by Bonnie without her noticing the heavy weight of it: "Hey, you would know this, is— is premeditated murder only illegal if you actually, uh, do the, you know, murder part?"

i couldn’t work these four Happy Bonnie gifs in the set i just posted, but i think they should still be seen, and maybe used for whatever, because, the “make bonnie smile” agenda, you know,

you deserve more than anyone, bonnie. / you, out of all of us, deserve to be happy. / you’re more than what happened to you. / you deserve a lot more good than what you’ve had.

i don't mean to give the impression that 85% of my brain isn't still on [redacted] but i just. don't feel right when i don't have a place designated to talk about bonnie and htgawm / to try to convince everyone alive that it's an underrated sitcom that would only bring them great joy
