I always see things on here about Ben's muteness and how it's gonna bite him in the ass one day, like if he ever is in danger and isn't able to scream or ask anyone for help. But, I raise you all an even sadder scenario.

Imagine Ben being the only one to notice a potential threat endangering someone in the group, particularly someone like Aiden or Taylor who Ben cares a LOT for. Imagine he is maybe somewhere behind the group and has a better view, or maybe he's just the first one to notice, but either way, someone he cares about is moments away from getting jumped by a phantom and getting seriously injured or even dying, and one of three things could happen:

Due to his muteness, he doesn't say a word. He tries to get their attention by making a bunch of noise or waving his arms around, but they just don't notice him, and he watches as one of the people closest to his heart is ripped apart while he could do nothing to warn them.

He decides that, if there is ever a time to forgo his muteness for the good of his friends, now is that time. He warns them, and they end up okay, but the whole group is a little put off by the sound of Ben's damaged, gravelly voice. Meanwhile, Ben is in pieces, haunted by how disgusting and horrifying his voice sounds, so much so that he can't hardly look any of his friends in the eyes for the rest of the day. It fills him with rage and shame that he can't just have a normal voice like everyone around him. Why did he have to be different?

And lastly, my personal favorite, and by far the angstiest, is that Ben decides to use his voice to warn his friends, but after so many years of not using it, no sound comes out. He was relying on them being able to hear him, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't get out a sound above a whisper. He's doing everything possible in his power; screaming, crying, begging, but nothing gets through. His screams are silent as he watches someone he cares for more than anyone in this world get torn apart because he was too angry and depressed to speak for so many years after he got attacked. If he had just gotten over it, got back into talking, and made the recovery everyone wanted him to have, his friend would still be standing there. But they aren't, because Ben failed to protect them.

Taylor is the type to grab Ben's hands in the middle of the hallway whenever he's about to fight someone and say "Ben, please, look at me 🥺 this isn't you" like some kind of bad 2000s teen romance movie protagonist but y'all aren't ready to hear that

Reblogging because I am having even MORE thoughts than before

If Tyler was transmasc:

When he first came out to Taylor, they stayed up well past midnight in the bathroom while Taylor cut his hair short for him. He was bawling like a baby the whole time

That became one of his fondest childhood memories too, just the sheer joy of finally looking how he felt inside, and getting to share that moment with his sister

Ever since that day, he's never changed the haircut she gave him. She's the only one he lets cut it, and insists on getting the same cut every time

It's just a little reminder of his sister and how much she cares for him

Growing up, Tyler was extremely gifted at softball. When he transitioned, he also had the make the switch from softball to baseball. But, before he started taking hormones or anything else like that, there was nowhere that would let him join

It wasn't until their freshman year of high school when Taylor talked to the school's baseball coach and practically begged him to let Tyler go to the baseball tryouts

The coach did it mostly just to get her off his back, but let Tyler on the team when he realized just how good Tyler was

Ever since then, Taylor has gone to every game and even sticks around at some practices, just so Tyler knows he always has her support, and that he can rely on her, especially if anyone gives him shit about his past

She also went to the gym with him, for a time, to help encourage him to be able to achieve the more muscular, masculine sort of body he hoped for. Once he started taking hormones, though, he started to see progress a lot faster than she did, and she would teasingly call it "cheating" (but she's happy for him)

They still go together to this day, just as a cute little sibling bonding routine they have

One of her longest held secrets, and one that she probably won't tell Tyler for years, is that she has a little jar hidden in her desk stuffed full of bills, labeled "Tyler's top surgery". She's been saving up money ever since he came out to her, in the hopes that she can surprise him with it one day when she has enough

If Taylor was transfem:

If you thought Tyler was overprotective before, oh man, this boy went into OVERDRIVE

He understands how emotionally difficult of a process it is, and did everything he could to help things go as smoothly as possible, because there's nothing he hates more than seeing his sister upset

He is willing to, and has on several occasions, stood up for her to the point of getting into physical fights with people

Taylor was extremely scared going back to school while dressing feminine, so Tyler stuck to her side like glue the whole time. Anytime anyone said something mean? Laughed at her? Posted something cruel online about her? He was out for them like a bounty hunter

After the first couple instances of people getting beat up on her behalf, nobody really ever said anything, and Taylor is forever grateful for how Tyler makes her feel so safe and protected

Taylor had already been growing out her hair for a little while before she told him, so when she came out, Tyler took every photo of her pre-transition and insisted they retook them. Every single one of them.

Slowly, all the photos around the house of Taylor, who never truly smiled much pre-transition, were replaced by this happy, smiling girl with long hair and feminine clothing

He keeps all the old photos of her, and all the old documents mentioning her dead name, stored in a little box he keeps under his bed labeled "KEEP OUT". He hasn't opened it in years in the hopes that he'll slowly forget all those times where she didn't feel like herself

They went shopping together for new clothing on several occasions during her transition, even though Tyler really didn't know much about fashion. It just made him so happy to see his sister like the way she looked in something, for the first time in her life

Also thought I would share this absolute GEM I found in someone's tags in a reblog, because it's fucking hilarious and I’m mad I didn't come up with it

The idea of them just completely swapping identities, to the point where there is almost zero proof either of them were ever the opposite gender, is hilarious to me

Currently obsessed with the thought of trans Taylor or Tyler Hernandez...

Like imagine they just kinda let it slip that they're actually identical twins, and the whole group kinda has a collective moment of pure "???" until the realization hits that they were both assigned the same gender at birth, but one of them transitioned at some point

Bonus points if both of them refuse to say which one of them transitioned and which one didn't

Aiden: So, uh... which one of you is...?

Tyler: Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy.

School Bus Graveyard headcanons no one asked for but will still get 😤

Ashlyn has autism. Honestly pretty much canon at this point, considering what we've seen of her, but still

The whole group took a hot second to adjust, but they are now so accommodating to it

Obviously there's the noise issues, but they also recognize when she needs to be alone, and they don't bother her too much about her being so asocial

I’m projecting but I just love these guys

ANYWAY, on a completely different subject, I think Taylor is actually a really good singer! She's just very shy about it

I also think Aiden can definitely play drumset

Top that off with Tyler canonically playing guitar, all you need to do is give Ben a bass or something and then they're basically just a little band!

I think they would be called the Phantoms or some shit like that

Ashlyn can do backup vocals, and I love my boy Logan but he's giving stage manager vibes a little bit lol

Someone's gotta do it

Taylor and Tyler share their clothes all the time. We already see that they have the same room, which most likely means the same closet, and since the two of them have a relatively similar build (and thus, similar clothing sizes), they just don't really bother separating their clothes (probably why they're matching so often)

Aiden does so much stupid rich kid shit. Not obnoxiously, but just out of a lack of understanding

Probably says some shit to the others like "Wait, your parents didn't get you a car? I know we can't drive yet, but you can still like... take pictures with it."

Bro has no idea he's that rich

The twins absolutely love going over to Ashlyn's place to get self-defense training from Mike and Emma. With their father being gone for a while, and their mom being not all there (for lack of a better description), it's been a long time since they've had a stable parental figure in their lives

Ashlyn's parents are just so nice to them and treat them like their own kids. I just think it's something they needed in their life that they found in an unexpected place :(

Ben loves to paint! He took up art and drawing ever since he lost his voice, and finds painting specifically very calming

He's been working on portraits for each of his friends that are all lying half-finished around his room

Even when he finishes them, though, he probably wouldn't show them for a while because he's quite nervous about it

If he DOES show them, he would definitely give Taylor her's first, because that's who he feels closest to

She cries

I feel like Logan, with working at the flower shop and all that, probably spends a bit of time putting together little bouquets for his friends

Not as like a grand show of affection, but just little gifts to show his appreciation for them being around and caring about him

Probably personalizes them a LOT too. Not only does he coordinate them to match the favorite colors/flowers of the person he's making them for, but he knows all the symbolic meanings behind each flower

Like, for example, I bet he gets yellow roses for Ben to signify friendship, and pink roses for Ashlyn to signify gratitude, that sort of stuff

His love language is gift giving and he's never had friends as close as these guys, leave him alone >:[

Obligatory introduction post...

Hello, welcome to my blog! I won't use my real name on here, but you can call me either Strazki or just Zay! Both are cool. Also she/her pronouns are great for me.

Look below the cut if you'd like a little more info about me :)

A little about me:

I’m a musician and a writer! My main instruments are drums, piano, and bass guitar! As for writing, I mostly just do that for funsies with stuff no one will ever read, but I plan on getting an Ao3 and writing some more on there!

I’m American (unfortunately) but I love traveling and seeing other countries and cultures

I have ADHD (womp womp), and am always hyperfixated on something. Ironically, one of my biggest hyperfixations is neurology and psychology, so I know a lot about ADHD and other disorders like it

I love talking about my interests online (someone please talk to me 😭)

Talk to me about:

School Bus Graveyard! Big hyperfixation of mine right now

ADHD and neurodiversity in general. I am diagnosed now, but I know the feeling of being undiagnosed and struggling, so feel free to talk to me about any of that stuff, I like to think I’m pretty knowledgeable on it!

Music! I’m big into rock, punk, and grungy stuff, but I branch out a bit too

Anything else you want to! I’m always free to listen

Current hyperfixations:

School Bus Graveyard

Neurodivergence

Geology

Geography, world culture, and language/linguistics

Okay that's all! Inbox is always open if y'all wanna yap.
