Scout: I love this picture of our family. We were so happy.

Dill: Where’s your aunt?

Scout: She hadn’t come to live with us yet. That’s why we were so happy.

Assorted tkam headcanons

Atticus-

Libra; born September 30th 1885

Full name is Atticus James Finch

Autistic (i could make an entire post about this)

bisexual

gives great hugs

Writes calligraphy! all of the kids birthday cards and other cards are handwritten from him

Has attempted to cook, but almost burnt the house down so Cal doesn't allow him in the kitchen anymore. for being as smart as he is, he is awful in the kitchen

Is very in control of his emotions, but when he does get emotional, his emotions are very big

he copes with negative emotions by reading or listening to the radio

He usually only listens to the news on the radio, but sometimes he enjoys listening to music

really likes swing music

Cracks his knuckles a lot

Not very religious, goes to church every sunday but as he got older began to question religion more. When he was younger he was very religious because his family was religious

Always had plans to get a dog with his wife, but because of having two kids and then Miss Grahams death, it never happened. He still thinks about getting a dog after both of the kids are out of the house

Wakes up at 5 am everyday without fail, then spends the first few hours of his morning reading before he gets ready for the day

Scout-

Aries; born April 12th 1927

Autistic

If she knew what being trans was, would identify as transmasc

but considering she lives in Alabama in the 1930s, she likely has never and will never hear the term transgender or know its meaning

Accident prone- often comes to Cal with little cuts and scrapes. Cal always tells her to be more careful but takes care of her injuries no matter what

Keeps a journal, though she didn't take it very seriously until she was a teen and then would make sure she journals daily

Hates Halloween after the incident. the year after the incident she stays inside for the entire evening of Halloween and snuggles with Atticus

Very artsy. Loves writing and drawing and fills her journal with little doodles relating to her day

Jem-

Taurus; born May 14th, 1923

Almost always angry about something

Just an angry little guy

Needs glasses but doesn't get them until he's around 18

Absolutely adores Scout, more than he will ever admit, but he'd do anything for her (usually. they still bicker a lot)

After Halloween, the first thing he said when he woke up in the morning was "is Scout okay?"

Jem used to love Halloween, but is cautious of it after the incident. it takes him a few years to enjoy the holiday again

Takes after Atticus in his love for reading. as he gets older, Atticus lets him barrow books with increasingly mature themes and they'd bond by discussing them

Ends up playing football in highschool but gets injured. he plays all throughout highschool despite his injury, but once he's in college he stops playing and decides he prefers watching the sport instead

Keeps the things him and Scout found in the knothole for his entire life

Maudie-

Gemini; June 19th, 1891

Lesbian

No one knows except for Atticus and her late husband

Her husband was a gay man and they married mainly for protection

despite not loving each other romantically, they were incredibly close friends and Maudie mourned the loss of him for a long time

She sees Scout and Jem and even Dill as children

She was friends with Nathan Radley when they were younger, but once Nathan moved to Pensacola they lost contact, and even when he returned they just never reconnected

Boo/Arthur-

Virgo; September 12th, 1897

Autistic

Always stimming in some way, most common stim in scrunching up his face or full body twitches

Scrapbooks and uses his scrapbook as a journal of sorts

Not very close with Nathan and often avoids him as well as he can, considering they're both in the house pretty often

Funny enough, Boo was a nickname arthur was given as a teen by his friends

He was never really a bad kid. He was just an autistic kid who struggled to make connections and when he met his friend group, they'd goad him into stupid things and he'd do them because he'd never had friends like that before

The incident where he stabbed his father did happen, but he did it not out of nowhere, but because Mr Radley was drunk and acting aggressive and it scared and frustrated Arthur so he stabbed him

Kicking my feet and giggling ⚜️🩷🤤💖

I'm absolutely squealing trying to pick between Atticus Finch or Eddie Munson!

I'm currently working on something Eddie Munson related while in a complete Atticus haze, lol! While writing tho I just kinda assumed Eddie had a wallet/Jean chain.

WHEN I CHECKED HE HAS ONE LMAO!

Well since I'm fingerling for Atticus I remember you can pretty much always see his pocket watch chain!

Pics at top for context, lol

I just can't pick between the two rn! Atticus is so handsome and a papi! He fights for the rights! Literally! (Read to book to kill a mocking bird or watch movie - so good)

Eddie tho is cool but also a nerd! He plays dnd, and would be so sweet!! He's going places and you can come too!! 🙃🦇🏥

Ok, simp rante over if you'd guys like to see my Eddie Munson stuff as I work on it lmk 🥰🥰

(I also have some small Atticus Finch stuff I could edit and throw up 👀)

"Bunu nasıl yapabilirler, nasıl ?"

"Bilmiyorum ama yaptılar. Daha önce de yaptılar, bu gece de yaptılar, yine yapacaklar ve yaptıkları zaman... Öyle görünüyor ki yalnızca çocuklar ağlayacak. İyi geceler."

Atticus, after Halloween: This is what we call a traumatic event.

Atticus, turning to Jem: Not a “major L”.

Atticus, turning to Scout: And not an “oof lmao”.

Atticus Finch and Maudie Atkinson Headcanon

Maudie was insistent on helping the Finches in Jem’s recovery. She became a regular around the house, and slowly became part of everyday life in the house. Early to arrive and late to leave.

Atticus did not realize how much he found comfort in her presence. Not to mention, Scout was eager to have another companion in the house. Jem enjoyed her conversation with her and discovered her to be a fount of encouragement as he recovered.

They all sat around the table at night, ate, talked, and laughed just like a family. Once the children were tucked away, she would stay to make sure Atticus was comfortable. They sat together in silence in the front room both reading a book. It was simple. It was domestic. And it was bliss.

She had to leave for a couple weeks for family business. It was rare that she had a reason to leave Maycomb, and it was just their luck that this was one of the times. Scout was her shadow the day before she left. She found excuses to keep Maudie in her bedroom close by, and eventually fell asleep wrapped in her arms listening to Atticus read. She clung to her as she left, and Atticus swore he saw a tear in her eye. Even Jem embraced Maudie before Atticus drove her to the station.

Atticus was silent and pensive on the ride back. And that night, the Finch household was somber. The dinner table was silent. Scout and Jem went to bed early, and Atticus found himself standing the living room staring out the window across the street towards her house.

This mood stuck around for the weeks that followed. Atticus knew deep down what it was but refused to say. Scout walked around with her head hung and moved slowly. Jem became secluded and very quiet.

Calpurnia forced him to acknowledge the truth. Atticus mentioned Scout and Jem’s new behavior and asked if she had noticed it and if she was concerned.

“Yes sir, I’ve noticed, and I’m not concerned. All will be well when Miss Maudie returns home, Mr. Finch.”

Atticus froze when she said that. Maudie had always been a part of his life through all its stages, but somewhere along the way she became something more to them all. He knew what had to happen.

They finally received word from Maudie for her return to Maycomb. The entire household counted down the days.

Much to Atticus’s dismay, Scout and Jem insisted on coming to the station with him.

Maudie could hardly get onto the platform before Scout launched herself into her arms. Jem quickly followed suit, and that image, mingled with all their laughter, never left Atticus’s mind.

The rest of the day was loud, chaotic, and joyful. Calpurnia could not stop grinning as they all clambered through the door together and laughed, once more, around the table that night.

Finally, after much convincing, Scout and Jem settled into bed. Maudie and Atticus tucked them in together with books in hand, but not before hugs and kisses on the forehead.

Maudie and Atticus resumed their position in the living room as if no time had passed.

That night, when they said goodbye, Atticus got a hug as well that was sealed with a kiss that landed a couple inches south of his forehead and lasted much longer.

Y’all my dumbass decided it would be a great idea to write tkam fanfiction set in princess dress era (I don’t have a set one) and it’s going great, yeah, but I can’t let any of my classmates know I stopped this low.

My friend loves the book too but I’m just like “you don’t need to see me write archery, it makes me embarrassed.”

I literally just need to get it off my chest, internet forgive me.
