Headcanon because I've got back pain:

Gordon is an absolute pro at curing back pain, tell him your symptoms and he knows exactly where it's coming from and how to ease it either with painkillers, balms or heating pads.

He picked up all his techniques while recovering from his hydrofoil accident and even though the pain very rarely appears nowadays, his skills are still put to good use on his brothers after grueling missions.

So I got back and ran into the apartment exactly 1 minute before the curfew, and right on cue the first explosions of the night started. Home, sweet home! Otherwise, my trip to Vienna was superb. I had a great time at the conference, with some good consequences for my future work, and treated myself to a weekend of indulgent walking in a pre-Christmas inner city, and art galleries - some revisits of old favorites, some new. So now I have IDEAS - Virgil tagging along to Scott's business or political trips to Vienna for concerts and galleries (and early Christmas shopping). Virgil bribing Scott with food for company to art exhibits (it takes a full Sacher torte and looooots of street food). Them ending up having fun at the magic Christmas fair by the Rathaus and trying out the skating ring.

You know what? I'm bored, and I've got some ideas, so here are my Ilvermony headcanons.

The separate houses are treated as little more than an aesthetic difference by the students. While there might be rivalries and prank wars between the houses, it never gets to the levels of near discrimination that it gets to at Hogwarts. The students all just consider themselves students of the same school and members of the houses intermingle and hang out with each other all the time. They're even allowed to be in each other's dorms for limited amounts of time each day. The teachers encourage it as they often say that each house represents a part of what every great wizard needs, and coming together helps bring them all together towards the ideal wizard.

It's not uncommon for there to be students from other countries who don't speak English perfectly. Thankfully, there are charms to help translate their speech for the teacher, and the only part of their work that needs to be spoken English are their incantations. Though some might still ask for help in getting the pronunciation correct.

The dining hall students eat in is vastly different from Hogwarts's Great Hall, being a large room with mahogany walls filled with multiple circular tables covered in red tablecloths with gold trim and set with silver untensils, fine blue China plates, and crystal glasses. In the center of the room is a vast roaring fireplace with a picture of the Sayre family overtop of it. During feasts, the Pukwudgies bring out platters and pitchers of food and drink that stay magically hot and cold until the students serve themselves from them. Students are allowed to sit at whatever table they please, and the staff eat at a massive table in the middle of all the others.

The dorms are just different buildings of the castle that have five floors of T-shaped hallways with long red and gold rugs bearing the houses symbol. Along the walls of each hallways are dorm rooms for each years students. Students are assigned two each to a dorm, with their roommates's names being included with the letters they receive at the start of each new year. Roommates can't be changed unless two students agree to trade with each other. The dorms all have two large half poster beds with red and gold sheets and blankets, the blankets also carrying their houses symbol and pillows with blue pillow cases. There's also two desks, half dressers, wardrobes, and a set of three shelves above the dressers on both sides (the rooms are enhanced with expansion charms to give them extra space). The halls for younger students all have a dorm manager in them, an older student who was chosen to sleep on their floor to act as a chaperone and disciplinary figure to the students.

The students get to the school by way of multiple magical single decker busses that all arrive at Rockfeller Center in New York. They drive for around an hour before making a stop at a magically hidden pit stop where the students can get snacks, drinks and use the bathroom before the rest of the journey.

Thanksgivings at Ilvermony are always huge. The decorations include fall leaves that flutter and blow themselves through the halls, realistic turkey figures that jump around and gobble, and in the center of each dining room table is a red and gold hat that plays music. Each table gets its own turkey to carve (any leftovers are served over the next few days as sandwiches) along with boats of gravy and cranberry sauce, bowls of corn, mashed potatoes and carrots. And for dessert, a veritable buffet of pies, including Ilvermony's famous cranberry pie, the recipe said to have been invented by Isolt Sayre herself.

Any students without a wand before coming to school is allowed to select one from the hall of wands just past the sorting room. The hall holds hundreds of wands stacked inside their case along the walls. The room holds both wands so new they were just ordered yesterday and so old they were created at the very start of the school. After each sorting ceremony, the head of the school helps each first year's find a wand that "chooses" them, a process that can take up to an hour at most. It's also heavily guarded at all times by both a pair of heavily armed, muscular Pukwudgies and a rotating member of the staff as it's a prime target for thievery either by students or dark wizards.

Ilvermorny boasts a massive roaster of international magical studies electives. In each one, students can study the government, magical creatures, and magical history of the country of their choosing. Some even go on summer trips to those countries to further their studies.

Rather than O.W.L.s, Ilvermorny students takes the W.I.T. or Wizarding Intuition Tests, something similar to an SAT tests. The tests are taken twice, once during sixth year and once during seventh year for each class the students take, and the combined scores of each year are added together, and that average becomes their score. The better the score in certain subjects, the more job opportunities the students have.

To receive mail, students go to the mail room in a tall tower at the southern side of the castle where every owl goes to bring packages and letters for their deliveriees to receive. The mail room is student run and students are selected at random to do the job.

If Alan had more spare time he would 100% be a cosplayer, he's the right amount of Gen Z and nerd energy, he plays the in-universe equivalent of League of Legends, he's 100% the tiktok cosplayer in the family.

Virgil would help him craft props and costumes and John and Gordon would go with him to conventions around the world (reminder that Gordon is an action figure collectionist)

Scott does not get it, but whatever makes his baby brother happy he supports it

It took me waaaay too long to find out the grave Sammy Thunder visits in London Life might actually be Elvis Presley's, or at least his Layton counterpart.

#headcanon that Sammy named himself after Elvis's car: A Ford Thunderbird #he'd definitely be one of his screaming fans #Beluga would be one of the people trying to get Elvis off the tv #professor Layton #London Life #Sammy thunder

Hear me out, Jeff Tracy is like a Father figure to Brains. Jeff treats Brains like he's a Tracy.

John and Virgil are twins, and to start with it was particularly easy to tell; they had similar, quiet personalities, and were both content being calm, but curious enough to cause Jeff and Lucille their fair share of grey hairs.

The confusion came when John was moved up a year in school.

Everyone started to think that John was the second oldest Tracy brother, when in reality Virgil is the older twin

Imagine being a killjoy lost in the desert and looking up and seeing giant fucking birds with ten foot wingspans circling above you and in your half insane state, delirious from dehydration, you don’t realize what they are, you just think of stories you’ve heard and the word ‘thunderbird’ escapes your parched lips like a prayer.

#love the implication of mistaking an omen of death(scavengers waiting for you to die) for a creature symbolizing life and power and plenty #you think its going to bring rain and give you strength but they’re not thunderbirds just vultures #shoutout to California condors tho fr imagine one of those huge fuckers descending upon you #post brought to you by me finding a cool thunderbird pin at a thrift store and this scenario not leaving my mind #actually I could write an essay on how different folklor/legends have changed by the time killjoys are around #some myths are the same some have changed there’s some new ones etc #I think the thunderbird one would stay pretty much the same #but also they know there IS giant birds and they’re def not what thunderbirds are but maybe they call them thunderbirds anyway #and theyre omens of the witch becuase theyre scavengers or maybe they are the witch #in her other form. watching. waiting to descend and feed and pull the souls from killjoy’s corpses to lead them to the other side #anyway I could go on forever #danger days #my chemical romance #ttlotfk #mcr danger days #mcr #the true lives of the fabulous killjoys #the fabulous killjoys #danger days headcanons #killjoy headcanons #corvidscrap #zone things

This isn't a headcanon that I think I've spoken about before but for some reason it just makes sense to me that Alan would really like dinosaurs.

He probably had a dino phase as a kid, had dino themed everything mixed in with all his space themed stuff and learned all the different names and species. Even though his focus has shifted mostly to space, Alan still loves his dinosaurs and has some dinosaur shirts and models in his room.

Gordon would share his interest in dinosaurs but he was more focused on the ocean dwelling kind. He and Alan still talk dinos from time especially when a new kind of fossil is discovered deep in the ocean. 🦖🦕

A colleague's of mine son is deployed to war today. To the frontlines where hell is. The kid's barely nineteen, would have started a sophomore year at one of the country's top universities this fall, but volunteered to go to war. It was gruesome basic training all summer and now - off to the front. To the last minute it was unclear if reservists would be deployed. That's a whole separate well of excruciating real-life emotions in extremely real, and extremely taxing circumstances. But it also got me thinking if maybe Scott, an illustrous Yale student, was in Air Force reserve training camp over the summer, expected back by Dad and the brothers for the rest of the break. And then the hostilities erupted over Bereznik border...

Virgil: And what do we say when someone disagrees with us?

Scott and pain tolerance headcanon

TW: discussion of PTSD, mental health issues, altered pain perception, Scott in Bereznik stuff

Scott 100% has an altered and dysfunctional pain perception after his time in Bereznik.

He would have strong pain reactions to minor, tiny injuries and procedures that may trigger a PTSD episode, but he would have a high, almost numb pain tolerance when he is completely focused on a rescue.

Needles? He hates needles. They hurt so so much it's almost unberable.

But a fully dislocated shoulder while on a mission? He would barely feel anything at all. He could keep working while having broken bones, while bleeding, and he genuinely wouldn't notice until his brothers take a look at him.

Virgil and John often scold him for being recless and working while injured, but sometimes Scott truly can't tell when he's really hurting. His mind is always twisting the reality around him, he can't feel pain properly anymore. It's an extreme coping mechanism mixed with the altered survival instinct that comes with PTSD. In order to protect himself from pain, his brain sometimes shuts the pain off completely, and other times it makes it much much worse.

This, added to his work ethic in which he needs to push himself to the very limit, makes his job so much more difficult and dangerous. I do believe he is getting better the longer he gets used to his line of work, and I do believe he is required by his family and Colonel Casey to go to therapy to be even allowed on a Thunderbird in the first place, but I still hope he will take some time to properly recover after Jeff is back and takes some responsibilities off his shoulders.

Headcanon time: Family relationships are so important to Scott in part bc he's aromantic and he's lowkey insecure about it because although he's aromantic he's not asexual and he's internalised some grotty messaging about it and had some bad experiences about that as a younger adult. But the platonic relationships in his life are so truly solid and he knows they all love him lots and I'm very soft about that
