very random warbler headcanons
✨ sebastian smythe ✨
- played lacrosse in france and was liked by his teammates, but wasn’t necessarily popular in school
- scandals bar habits came directly from nights in paris
- neither of his parents are homophobic, but he’s heard the horror stories and fears losing his relationship with them
- his maman knows about his late night habits, but doesn’t question him about them. she’s always known he was gay, but he never directly told her. she fears if she brings it up, he’ll clam up
- still, she looks out for him in ways she can. teaches him how to be safe outside at night, shows him ways to defend himself if he ever has to. sneaks extra condoms in his nightstand drawer
- takes him a while, but eventually realizes his mom knows, but isn’t trying to stop or control him. awkward about it at first - doesn’t go out for some time and definitely doesn’t bring anyone home. but when their relationship doesn’t change, he goes back into his old ways. does make an effort to be safer (and even a bit more open about it), though, for his maman’s sake
- something about the smythes: love preparing for social gatherings; hate social gatherings. their house is always the place to be during the holidays bc it’s huge and gorgeous. mrs. smythe loves decorating for christmas, and all three of them love to cook and bake for it. but then throughout the night, they all just want their company to go home so they can sleep
- both parents taught sebastian to cook and bake, and he has a book of their favorite recipes that he pulls out during late nights at dalton
- charcuterie board connoisseur 🧀🍷
✨ nick duval ✨
- from michigan but at dalton on a scholarship (i read a fic where it was a soccer scholarship, and my brain adopted it)
- childhood best friends with jeff
- not good with directions. can’t really tell left and right apart. on road trips, he’s not the driver, nor the navigator, but a secret third thing (in the backseat, wondering where the nearest rest stop is)
✨ jeff sterling ✨
- second child of four siblings + has a twin sister
- also from michigan, but siblings are scattered all around states (has an older brother in florida, too)
- loves his family, but they have their issues. grateful for nick’s support throughout his life, otherwise he’d be pretty lost
- when nick got accepted to dalton, he begged his parents to go, since most of his siblings were separated anyway. they let him go mostly to have one less child to monitor
✨ hunter clarington ✨
- doesn’t believe he can be liked, so he settles for being feared
- this works for coaching the warblers, but he quickly learns he’s not accepted nor respected by them
- left out on lima bean study dates and movie nights and other warbler group activities. hurts him, but he doesn’t show it
- canonically: acts out with steroids until the boys plant enough evidence that blaine and sam find out to get him expelled
- noncanonically: after one strenuous practice, he loses his cool and shares his insecurities. very slowly, the boys open up and forgive him, like the did to sebastian after the slushie. eventually, he’s brought into the group as a friend, instead of just being on the outside as a leader
✨ thad hardwood ✨
- always first to forgive
- giant goof that makes everyone smile, even on the worst days
- has a theory that kurt killed pavarotti for blaine’s attention. wes thinks he’s crazy for it
✨ trent nixon ✨
- public school bullying brought him to dalton
- lives closer to cincinnati, ohio. wishes he was in westerville, though. doesn’t feel safe in his hometown
- parents aren’t divorced, but they don’t love each other. very close with his mom, not at all with his dad. has to talk to his dad once a year, though, bc he pays for his schooling. this usually happens around christmas-time. unless his dad drinks too much the night before and forgets
- queer. every so often wonders if he’s bi, but has never been in a relationship with anyone so he doesn’t know. curious about girls, but at the same time, can’t imagine dating one. doesn’t feel a need to figure it out ~ he likes who he likes
- has the biggest crush on blaine. relates to him, wants to protect him, and thinks he’s absolutely adorable
- was the one to kick sebastian out of the group after the slushie. all were mad, but he shouted at him for almost an hour, and even pushed him once
- last to forgive sebastian, but did eventually. also apologized for pushing him. he’d never physically touched anyone like that before and he felt bad since it happened, but not bad enough to apologize right away
✨ david thompson ✨
- aroace
- best friends with wes. they went on a date once, but both decided they were better as friends
- the warblers call them their dads (no one knows about the secret date, but their parent-like protectiveness over the group brought on the gag)
✨ dalton academy ✨
- students are allowed to use the kitchen as long as they keep it clean and know basic safety rules
- there are three fire drills a year. one is during classes, one is at night, and the last is unannounced and random
- lots of begging resulted in the warblers all being put on the same floor. all freshman students and transfers are randomly placed, but going into their sophomore year (or next year up), they can request roommates
- the school’s no-bullying policy extends to having emergency buttons in all of the dorm rooms and hallways, in case anyone ever feels unsafe
