so, I'm reading Jersey Boy (AWESOME fic by the way!) and I've had this on my mind for a while
is Fiddleford being a hippie in college a canon/official thing or just a very popular headcanon? because I've seen it in many other fanarts/fanfics as well
Firstly, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy! I'm actually making progress on the fic as we speak, at least while I have downtime at work.
Secondly, to answer your question, Hippie!Fiddleford isn't explicitly canon, but I believe the headcanon stems from the PEACE poster in Ford's dorm, as seen in the studying montage of ATOTS. (Of note, some people will say that the room with the peace poster is a library, but the wallpaper does perfectly match the wallpaper in Ford's dorm seen later on in the episode, so I'm fairly certain it's the dorm.)
I believe Alex Hirsch has said that Fiddleford was Ford's roommate in a stream, so some people point to that as evidence that one of them was a hippie. And Ford is usually ruled out for one reason or another (he was too study-oriented perhaps, though I admit I do wish more fanfiction explored Hippie!Ford as a concept) so that leaves Fiddleford.
That being said, anti-war sentiment was generally popular in colleges nationwide (especially since college was one way for people to be deferred from the draft, and many young men took advantage of that,) and that isn't necessarily synonymous with being a "hippie" exactly. Like, you could hate the war, and hypothetically put up a peace poster without being a hippie. A hippie was specifically a youth counterculture movement throughout the 60s and not exclusively during the Vietnam war - there was much more to being a hippie than just being anti-war.
To this day, I'm still not convinced that Fiddleford was necessarily a hippie, at least in canon.
But I started writing Jersey Boy at a time when Hippie!Fiddleford was a pretty popular headcanon, and it fit itself into the setting I wanted to write, specifically of the Fall Semester of 1969, and so it stuck.

Summary: Tian and Tul are sharing an apartment and living on their own for the first time.

Chapter 1: The Idiot Who Put Aluminum Foil in the Microwave
----------------------------------------------------
Tian stood staring at the microwave in his apartment, a burrito wrapped in foil in one hand and his phone held to his ear in the other. “Hey, is it safe to microwave aluminum foil?”
“I don’t know, find out I guess,” came Tul’s voice from the phone.
Tian gave the burrito a considering glance then shrugged, putting it in the microwave.
“Alright, I got to go, see you later.”
“See you,” Tian replied, hanging up the phone. He set the microwave timer for 2 minutes, then walked away. Before he could even leave the kitchen he heard a weird noise behind him. He turned to see sparks coming from the microwave.
“Shit!”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tian stood outside, hugging himself and shivering a bit from the cold, grass tickling his feet through his sandals. The other residents from the apartment stood nearby, scattered throughout the yard, some of them grumbling as red lights flashed from the street. They had all been standing there for over 20 minutes and were just waiting for the all clear to go back inside.
Finally, three men in full firefighting gear came out the front door and approached Khama, the building’s owner, as they slowly stripped out of their outerwear. The man who seemed to be in charge had a hushed conversation with Khama before turning to address the crowd.
“Everything’s fine now. The fire has been put out and there was minimal damage, only to the apartment the fire started in.”
Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at the announcement.
“It’s safe to go back now so everyone is welcome to go inside. Everyone except the idiot who put aluminum foil in a microwave.”
Tian cringed at that last bit, said in a not very nice tone of voice, because yeah, he was that idiot. And the fireman’s expression made it pretty clear exactly what he thought about the idiot who put aluminum foil in a microwave.
He swallowed once before awkwardly walking toward where he and Khama were standing.
“Um, excuse me, I’m very sorry--”
“You know you can’t put metal in a microwave, right?” the mean firefighter interrupted. Tian couldn’t tell if that was a rhetorical question or not.
“Yes, but, well, it was--”
“Aluminum foil is metal and can’t be put in a microwave. It can’t withstand the electrical current generated and heats up too fast which causes a fire,” the man lectured.
Tian couldn’t do much more other than stand there and take it, even if he wanted to talk back. He was an engineering student for a whole year, he didn’t need to be taught how a microwave worked. The fact that he had put aluminum foil in there was just because, well...he forgot, okay? It wasn’t his fault he’d never had to worry about microwaving food wrapped in aluminum foil before.
The man was also pretty intimidating. He was pretty big--tall and solidly built, and that combined with his tone of voice and the expression on his face prevented Tian from saying something stupid, especially since, yeah, he was technically in the wrong here.
“You’re lucky the fire didn’t get any bigger than it did or there could’ve been some real damage,” he continued, making Tian feel like he was five years old again, getting scolded by the maid. Khama looked like he wanted to interrupt but couldn’t quite get a word in. “Didn’t your parents ever teach you this stuff?”
That finally got a stronger reaction out of Tian who abruptly looked up and met the man’s gaze, ready to argue back, when another person came up and interrupted. “Oi, Phupha, cut the kid a break. I’m sure he already feels bad enough, no need to make it worse.”
This new man was one of the EMTs who had come with the firetruck. The firefighter--Phupha--glared at him, which seemed to have little effect, but nevertheless seemed to calm down a bit. He turned back to Tian, more grumpy than angry now, and said, “Look, just no more metal in the microwave, okay? Next time the fire could get a lot worse.”
And with that he said goodbye to Khama and walked back toward the truck. The EMT huffed a laugh before addressing Tian. “Sorry about the chief. He seems mean but really he’s just concerned for everyone’s safety. A lot of fires are started by people being idiots,” he explained.
“Ah, no, it’s fine,” Tian said, “I definitely deserved some of that.”
The man gave Tian an appraising look before patting him on the shoulder. “Don’t beat yourself up too much over it and just be careful next time,” he said. He heard some calls from one of the men on the truck. “Well, I gotta get going.” He nodded in goodbye to both of them.
“Thank you, Dr. Nam,” Khama said as he left.
Once he was gone, Tian turned to Khama. “Khama, I’m so sorry about all of this. Whatever the damage is I promise I’ll pay for it--”
Khama waved a hand in the air to cut him off. “It’s okay, Tian. We all make mistakes when living on our own for the first time. I’ll go up with you now to see the extent of the damage, but Chief Phupha said that it seemed like only the cabinets and the wall around the microwaved were damaged.”
Tian’s shoulders relaxed a bit, that didn’t sound too bad. “Thank you. You can go ahead on up, I should call Tul first and tell him what happened.”
Khama smiled and nodded before heading inside.
Tian pulled out his phone and called Tul. “Hey, so apparently, it is not safe to put aluminum foil in a microwave.”
