#Ngl I'd kinda forgotten that Maxwell was from Montana

☆☮️☯️ for Alana?

☆ - happy headcanon - I feel like one of Maxwell's happiest moments was when someone finally recognised that she was a computational prodigy and not just some girl who was good at maths. For her to get into MIT young enough to graduate from there at 19, I feel like someone probably took her under their wing to encourage her to apply: maybe a teacher who knew just enough about computers to see Maxwell was exceptional, or maybe a computer scientist who'd she contacted to ask questions about a theory she'd been developing. Having an adult really see her and her potential probably meant a lot given her not good family situation. (more below the cut)

☮️ - friendship headcanon - If Maxwell does indeed "build pretty awesome battle drones on the weekends", I think she definitely got Jacobi - and his 'things that break other things' skills - involved in that. Together they got disqualified from multiple competitions/races for blowing up the other drones with not-technically-legal explosives.

☯️ - likes/dislikes headcanon - I don't have the technical knowledge to develop this headcanon properly, but I feel like Maxwell has extremely strong opinions about different coding languages. She will talk for hours to explain why she loves a particular coding language and why anyone who uses [coding language x] is a fool and her mortal enemy.

#I'm sorry the happy one wasn't completely happy #This one was harder cos I don't have as many thoughts on Maxwell #I'm not on first name terms with her like you anon #Are battle drone competitions a thing? #I feel like they must be cos surely that's where the battle part comes in #Ngl I'd kinda forgotten that Maxwell was from Montana #until I looked at the Language Mapping transcript just now #and it is funny to me given that Bea Casely of Arden also grew up in Montana #Michelle Agresti is getting typecast as women who don't want to visit their families in Montana… #Also I just remembered US college degrees are normally 4 years #absolutely insane to graduate at 19 #Wolf 359 #w359 #Alana Maxwell #People can still send me these btw #I cba to do useful things today #the empty man posteth #asks #Headcanon ask game #Ask game
