I saw that u made a post asking for prompts/just to talk about fandoms. I was meaning to send an ask when I saw it but I forgot 😭😭 heres something different for you: I'm so happy to see that you like futurama as well, that show has such a special place in my heart 😭😭 and the lack of fics (especially freela fics) is actually maddening 😤😤😤 if you want to, could you throw us some freela relationship headcanons?😳😳💖
The original girlboss and malewife! 👏👏
Fry and Leela were probably the first fictional couple I shipped, before I even knew what shipping was. I just knew I really wanted them to end up together
(The lack of fanfic is a travesty, justice for my disaster couple)
Headcanon time!
When Fry and Leela are officially engaged (y'know, without time being frozen in the process) Bender gives a rather dramatic monologue about how he can't believe Leela didn't ask his blessing. Fry's protests that he proposed go unheard. Bender demands (somewhat jokingly but mostly seriously) that Leela asks for his blessing
No, Bender does not tear up when Leela goes along with it and asks, shut up
No one's sure who cried more at the wedding: Leela's parents, or Zoidberg
They get a dog, damn it! 👏👏
They have two kids: a girl and a boy
Fry remembers how much Yancy hated his name, so while he doesn't name his son Yancy, he returns the favour and uses it as a middle name
Their daughter's middle name is Munda, after Leela's mom
The entire Planet Express crew absolutely adores these kids. Everyone has babysat and they all have very different ways of handling the kids
One time, Leela and Fry came to collect the kids to find them doing paperwork with Hermes. They actually seemed to be enjoying it
Cubert just thinks it's low-key weird that the babies whose diapers he's changing are actually his aunt and uncle
Fry tries to imagine his parents babysitting his kids and shudders in horror. He misses them and wishes every day that his parents could have met them, but letting his parents look after them could only have resulted in utter chaos
One time, someone hits on Fry in front of Leela, despite the obvious wedding rings. Everyone expects Leela to lose it and start a fight. Her usual "I'm gonna kick her ass" attitude. Instead, she surprises them all: she grabs Fry and straight up dips him in a kiss instead
Fry loves it
Fry has also surprised everyone (and horrified Hermes) by starting a fight when some drunken idiot wouldn't shut up about how "weird" Leela's eye is
Fry, drunk: "That's my girlfriend!"
Kif: "Fry, that's your wife."
Fry: "My wife!? Even better!"
Leela: "I wasn't that drunk last night."
Amy: "You hit on Fry."
Leela: "So? That's not weird, he's my husband."
Amy: "You asked if he was single."
Leela: "..."
Amy: "You kicked over a table when he said he wasn't."
It takes Brannigan a solid year to realise Leela and Fry are married. Kif has tried to tell him, but Zapp never listened and just never noticed the rings. He nearly crashes his ship when he finally notices
What follows is a long, dramatic sob-fest about how he can't believe he wasn't invited to the wedding
He was. He just never read the invitation and tossed it
Overall, Fry and Leela are just an adorable couple. They're not all over each other in public, but they're always seen holding hands or sitting together. The amount of inside jokes they have is ridiculous. They always smile when they see each other
They are going to live a long and happy life together, so help me god
This got way longer than I anticipated, but that's what happens when you have headcanons for years 😁
