#and then hey isnt that your friend from soccer and wow his mom is smokin hot

[shatterdome-underscore]

Nows as good a time as any to share my favorite personal headcanon that in the original timeline before Ron was in the picture Nick thought it would be rad to set up Glenn and Samantha after they met at a school-based grief counselling thing for kids who lost a parent because she was nice and asked Nick how he was feeling and then Terry did absolutely everything in his power to make sure their parents were never even in the same room again because absolutely fucking not

#they both tried to recruit grant and the twins to their cause. never worked out well #Glenn absolutely never went to grief counselling but imagine for a moment that he and nick went to a thing for kids who lost a parent #and then hey isnt that your friend from soccer and wow his mom is smokin hot #there would be so much hijinks. Nick thinks everyone thinks it would be rad. terry is very early terry about it #tbh terry was probably on his way with the twins to burn down Glenn's tourbus when suddenly his mom was bringing ron around #dndads #dungeons and daddies #dndads spoilers #not really but whatever #terry stampler #dndads terry jr #nick close #just sticking to that name for now bc its original timeline nick #samantha stampler #ron stampler #dndads glenn close #glenn close dndads #nick is very possessive of his dad but also consider: he was very lonely samantha is a therapist and he has traumatized kid logic #he probably didnt even realize she was meeting unmet emotional needs he probably just thought she was cool and the logical next step #is her marrying his dad. bc his dad is cool #and shes cool. and cool people get married #meanwhile we all know how terry felt about anyone ''''trying to replace his dad'''''“ or anything like that #god i love nick and terry so much (i am traumatized by losing a parent relatively young) i wish they got more screentime in s1 #in my head they were same trauma besties who were somehow each others biggest critics and best allies
