Okay, I want to talk about the Trans Richie headcannon. I'm not going to say anything bad about it, this is just some ideas and opinions about it, regarding it as canon.
I like the idea that if Richie and/or Trevor were trans, they'd be given an alliterative name set originally. Like Richie and Rachel, Trevor and Tracey, or Samantha and Sabrina; something like that. And then when one or both changed their names, they were so relieved that their names didn't start with the same letter anymore. Maybe they even hated it so much that they'd like... go by Chel, CeCe, Sam and Rina. Shit like that, that'd be so funny.
I would really like to see a show about how they grew up. As much as I don't know how to feel about a cis person playing a trans character, I also wouldn't want Richie played by anyone else— *the idea of Jae Hughes as Richie* Okay, that'd actually be pretty sick, and you could have both Trevor and Richie on stage without Jon having to do a bunch of quick changes, or prerecordings, and you could even have them on stage at the same time, but YOU GET WHAT I'M SAYING! Anyway, I think it'd be really neat to have a song of Richie post-transition and Richie pre-transition singing about how they feel out of place, or how they have this secret that they have to keep, pre-trans not being out at all, and post-trans having transitioned in stealth mode. It'd be cook to see 'her' looking in a mirror or something, seeing post-trans Richie there because that's what they want to be. Some fuckin' reflection from Mulan shit, y'know?
Maybe it's just that I want to see Her as a musical, maybe that's my problem... I mean, now I'm thinking about it, and I'm right. I want that so fucking bad. Like, just imagine that for me, will you? I keep specifically imagining a scene of Jeri and Jerry berating 'her' for being too masculine as a song— I'm sorry, I'm being such a dork.
If Jon Matteson did a stream where he read trans richie headcannons and fics, I would fucking cry, especially if Her was included, since I'm very proud of it thus far.
I need like... a 5+1 fic of Richie coming out to people, I'd love that.
I forgot any other thing I wanted to say, just give me a second.
Oh, okay, here we go. I like to think that Richie is a cosplayer (my sister disagrees with me, so I know that some people don't agree) but I like to think that him cosplaying masc characters is one of the things that helped him realise his identity. This has nothing to do with the fact that after I started cosplaying TSS I got more masc and embraced that side of me, I don't know what you're talking about.
I wonder what Jon Matteson (and Will Branner, and everyone else) thinks about Childhood Friend Michie, not even them together romantically. Bc like, I fully understand not understanding that ship; I don't fully understand it myself, despite literally shipping it. But them as childhood friends? It almost makes too much sense, whether or not Max knows Richie is trans. Either way, you can make it make sense in some regard. I particularly like how @24-guy handled it in their trans richie story, but I won't spoil that for you (that's also their user name on ao3)
I think that's all I got for now, maybe I'll make a part two when I'm on a proper dose of adderall that actually does anything for me.

Rudolph / Swedish Barbecue shit
I'm Swedish. I love Trevor Lipschitz. By extension, I have to love his Swedish exchange student boyfriend, Rudolph (Will Branner's character at homecoming, for those unaware). By another extension, I was then required to make a bunch of Swedish headcanons about Rudolph. At 1 AM today, I wrote down a bunch of random headcanons about them, and now here they are!
Rudolph's full name is Rudolph Svensson.
Rudolph's already a quite uncommon name in Sweden, but it's made even rarer by the fact that it's spelled Rudolph instead of Rudolf. So, simple explanation, Rudolph is trans and he chose to spell his name like that to make it look better in English.
He's fluent in English, but has a noticeable accent. It's not so strong it's distracting and hard to decipher, but it's strong enough to provoke "where are you from?" questions.
Schools in Sweden don't have sports teams and afterschool clubs, so when Rudolph first came to Hatchetfield High, he joined like seven different clubs just because he could.
It took Rudolph a solid two weeks after meeting Trevor to realize/find out Trev has an identical twin brother. He waved and smiled at Richie in the hallways several times, thinking it was Trevor. Richie was very confused.
No one knows when Trevor and Rudolph started dating. Not even them. They were just suddenly kissing and calling each other boyfriends.
Rudolph's mother taught him how to make fucking AMAZING Swedish cinnamon rolls, so Rudolph once made them for all his Hatchetfield friends. Now Trevor thinks Swedish cinnamon rolls are far superior to American ones. Picture below so you can see the pure glory.
Tumblr media
In Sweden, barbecues aren't as big a thing as a good ol' traditional kräftskiva is (literal translation = crawfish slice). A kräftskiva is basically just when families/friends come together and eat a bunch of crawfish. Rudolph hasn't explained what a kräftskiva is, but he keeps making "The Kräftskive Monologues" jokes that no one understands, and he keeps laughing his ass off about them.
Trevor will always introduce Rudolph as, "This is my Swedish boyfriend. I found him at IKEA."
Rudolph taught Trevor the Swedish word 'lagom', which doesn't have an English translation, but basically means that something is good enough. It's not perfect or anything, but it's not too little or too much. Now Trevor uses that word on a regular basis.
Thank you, this has been Swedish Barbecue headcanons with a Swede

thinking about the lipschitz family now.
(this isn’t including a trans richie. not because i don’t love that headcannon, but bc i forgot about it until i was halfway in)
- eloise and david started dating when they were 15
- they both were planning on leaving hatchetfield for college but staying together, until eloise got pregnant. with twins.
- so neither of them went to college, and they moved in with david’s parents, since he was an only child and she had two little brothers. (one of whom is paul matthews but don’t worry about that)
- they find out that they’re having twins and they are going crazy. david gets a few part time jobs to pay for all the shit, like her hospital bills, baby clothes, shit like that.
- she gives birth to trevor, and several hours later, richie. the two are identical twins.
- over the next three years, things are hard for them, as the boys grow up and the two work a lot.
- richie and trevor spend a lot of those with their grandparents and uncles, because eloise and david are constantly working.
- especially bc they were born in 2003 and so an economic crisis is almost here! so the little family lives with their grandparents for a long time.
- when he’s 5, richie gets an ear infection that leaves him partially deaf. they all learn sign language and make sure ur doesn’t progress, but they don’t have the money to get him a hearing aid or anything the like.
- at 6, trevor has so many friends. he has play dates all the time, and richie goes with him, but richie doesn’t really have friends. he has a hard time talking to the other kids, prefers to play by himself of with his hands.
- richie gets an autism diagnosis at 7, and they decide to ask trevor some question too. he does not have autism, which can happen for identical twins, i looked it up.
- when he’s 8, richie makes his first friend. peter spankoffski, who becomes a permanent very quickly. richie spends a lot of time at peter’s house, or his older brother’s apartment, and peter spends a lot of time at their house. trevor plays with them, but usually doesn’t want to go with richie to peters.
- eloise and david get married when the boys are 9, when they realize ‘oh yeah, we never did that. maybe we should!’ it’s a very small thing, since they don’t have that much money, but all of their families are invited, and they have an excellent time. richie and trevor are the ring bearers.
- trevor joins the school play when he’s 10, and absolutely loves it. he has trouble with his lines, but he makes a great abraham lincoln, and he’s cute enough that no one in the audience cares if he screws up the gettysburg address. he wants to do more of it now.
- richie starts watching obs ute tv shows and loving them. he becomes obsessed with anime and japanese culture.
- the two both have overactive sweat glands, but trevor wears a shit ton of axe body spray to hide it. richie says it hurts his nose. the two fight across the dinner table about it.
- the thing is, richie and trevor are very very different. trevor is an outgoing theatre kid and richie is a nerdy weeb, but they are brothers and the love each other a lot even when they pretend not to.
- they share a room for most of their life, up until they’re 13, when they finally move out of their grandparents house. they get a house for the four of them, which is two doors down from the flemming house. ruth and richie quickly become good friends. ruth and peter are apparently in the same dance group, so it’s all fun and friendship.
- they reach high school and go their separate ways, socially. trevor will talk to richie in the hall ways, but he’s a theatre kid and has theatre friends, and richie’s a nerd. ruth’s a theatre kid too, but she thinks trevor is fucking annoying, so she prefers to hang out with richie.
- when the boys are 14, they get a little sister. piper lipschitz. richie is a big protector of her, and swears to look out for her. trevor thinks she’s fun to play with, and messes around with her a lot as she grows up.
- at 17, richie starts dating travis coulson, a friend who goes to sycamore and works at the cineplex. they have a very akward family dinner and trevor makes fun of them a lot.
- at 18, trevor goes to sweden on exchange and comes back with a boyfriend. rudolph comes to america in exchange right after, and they go to homecoming together. they have an akward family dinner with lots of language barriers, since trevor only knows half swedish and rudolph only knows half english. it works well for the two of them, but with the whole family it’s kind of a mes. richie laughs mercilessly at them.
-when the boys graduate, richie is going to film school in boston and trevor is going to theatre school in ny. they hug very hard before they have to go.
these are my thoughts about them following jons stream ty

Hatchetfield is No Place For a Tabby Cat - Chapter 9: Time Flies
Tabby is reunited with Steph after 2 fucking hours apart.
The other oc featured in this, Glenn Greenfield, belongs to my qpp!
The last classes of the day were History and English. Both went smoothly enough: History was a very basic class taught by a very basic older woman, Mrs. Helm. It was boring, but at least Tabby wasn’t in the same class as Max or any of his buffoons.
Meanwhile, English was taught by a rather quiet young man called Mr. Sedgwick, a tan-skinned fellow fresh out of college. His dark hair was slicked to the side and he smiled at Tabby when she walked in. The classroom was dimly lit and homey, very comfortable for being a classroom. The desks were arranged in clusters of 4, with 4 clusters total. Tabby was one of the first people in class. She sat down next to a brown haired person in a green knit sweater. They looked up from their phone and gave Tabby a shy smile as she pulled out the chair she was to sit at. 
There was a good chunk of time before class started, so she tapped the person next to her. “Hey. I’m Tabby, what’s your name?”
They looked at her, as if unsure what to say. “Uh…Glenn.”
“Well hi, Glenn! Sorry if this is awkward, I’m new here. Uh…have you lived in Hatchetfield a long time?”
“As long as I can remember.” They shrugged. “It kinda sucks here.”
“So I’ve heard.” Tabby noted. “I don’t really know what to think, to be completely honest. Everyone here is just sort of weird.”
“I’m no different, I won’t lie.” Glenn chuckled. “I’m kind of well known around here.”
“How so?”
“Oh let’s see…I’m a trans guy, for one, that always draws attention. I got struck by lightning when I was ten and now people think I can see the future, to the point where I almost wonder if I can see the future…Is that weird enough for you?”
She bit the inside of her cheek. “Well, I ate lunch with Grace Chasity today, and I don’t think any conversation can get weirder than that one.” “Did she try to make you sign up for Bible camp?” Glenn inquired, twisting his pencil between his fingers. 
“Pretty much, yeah.” She laughed. “I also met this guy, Max, earlier…”
“You talked to Max Jagerman without getting a black eye or a wedgie or something? Impressive.” Glenn whistled, pointing at Tabby. “You’ve got some real talent.”
“No kidding.” 
The two talked for a little while longer, and as they did, more students began to flood into the room. A face Tabby remembered from first period as belonging to one of the Lipschitz twins, Trevor, due to the lack of badly-dyed blue hair, plopped down at the desk across from hers.
“What’s up, Greenie?” He gestured vaguely to Glenn. “Seen anything fun? Oh, man, if you can see into the future, is Rudolph gonna ask me out one of these days or am I gonna have to do it myself?”
Glenn sighed and rolled his eyes playfully. “No clue, Trevor. Maybe try the homeless guy, they say he has infinite wisdom.”
“I’d rather not go near someone who drinks out of that tap outside Beanies’. You know, the one people use to give water to their dogs?” 
“Fair enough. I don’t think I’d be willing to make the sacrifice either.”
Trevor looked up at Tabby, now. “I remember you. Robbie’s new fave.” 
“That’s me, I guess.” Tabby adjusted one of the barrettes in her hair. “She’s nice to everyone.”
“She’s nice to the queer kids.”
“How’d she know I’m–”
Trevor winked and raised an eyebrow, glancing between Tabby and Glenn. “She can smell it on us.”
“I bet you smell like a fucking fruitcake, then.” Glenn punched Trevor in the shoulder, and Trevor returned the favor, slapping him gently in the chest as Tabby took note of Trevor’s black nail polish.
“I hate to interrupt the first day bonding, but class was supposed to start 5 minutes ago and I don’t need Principal Blim on my tail on my first day as a teacher here.”
Heads turned. Mr. Sedgwick was standing at the podium at the head of the room, smiling brightly. “I want you all to know that it’s my first day teaching, so go easy on me! First day stuff is boring, so just fill out the day one worksheet when you can and pass it in by Friday, alright?”
“He’s really giving us a free block?” Tabby questioned, looking at Glenn and then at Trevor. Both boys just shrugged.
“Seems that way.” Trevor said, pulling out his phone.
“Maybe he can smell the gay on us.” Glenn snickered.
“Shit!” Mr. Sedgwick looked down on his laptop, which was sitting on his podium. “Forgot to take attendance…Hah…Nobody tell on me, okay? First we have…Tabatha Danehower? Am I saying that right?”
“Just Tabby, please.” She smiled sweetly at him, and got a nod in response. 
“Okay…” He called a few more names, and then: “Lisa Greenfield?” 
Glenn’s face went red. He gulped. It only took Tabby a few seconds to realize what was going on. 
“It’s Glenn.” She spoke up. “His name is Glenn.” 
The teacher looked over at Tabby, then glanced at Glenn, then carefully typed the correct name into his roster. “Thank you, Miss Danehower.” 
Glenn smiled warmly and mouthed a small thank you to Tabby as well. She grinned back.
“Next up we have…Stephanie Lauter?” 
Hold up. Steph’s in this class? She could already feel her mind racing. But…the only desk left is next to–
Her thoughts were cut short by Steph racing into the room, her bag swinging wildly on one shoulder. She gives Mr. Sedgwick some half-hearted apology and scrambles for a seat, until it dawns on her that the only remaining one was between three of the biggest nerds at school.
She plopped down beside Tabby and immediately pulled out her phone, showing off her pink shark phone case. 
“I take it you’re Stephanie Lauter?” Mr. Sedgwick said with a sigh. Steph gave him a sort of grunt in response, which Tabby thought was kind of adorable. She quickly stopped staring at Steph once she realized Glenn was staring at her in turn. 
“Trevor Lipschitz?” Mr. Sedgwick looked around the room.
“Gay!” One of the jocks in the back shouted. Trevor stood up and flipped him off, which only made the jocks hoot and holler more. 
“Yes. I’m here.” 
“Thank you. Now I suppose this is as good a time as any to mention that these are your assigned seats for the first semester, understood? Sorry to anyone who got the misfortune of ending up beside a loud chewer, a nose picker, et cetera.” That caused a chorus of giggles from the class. Steph glanced away from her phone, presumably scrolling TikTok, and looked at Tabby.
“Weird. I keep ending up sitting next to you.” She said with a tone of nonchalance. 
“Yeah…weird.” Tabby’s eyes were frozen to Steph. She was only narrowly aware of Glenn and Trevor giving her a mix of interested and disapproving looks from behind. Her eyes took in every detail of the girl, absolutely soaking her in: the soft blush of Steph’s cheek, the curve of her jaw, the luscious curls of her hair falling onto the desk, her pure white teeth and sparkling green eyes. 
It was heaven.
They say time flies when you’re having fun, but for Tabby, a more accurate statement would be ‘time flies when you’re marveling at a pretty girl while your new friends watch and become slightly disgusted with you, probably’.

Okay, in relation to Her
In my current wip, I've made Trevor go to boarding school in Ohio, which explains his absence in the first few chapters. He is returning for their freshman year, to support Richie through the difficult change of scenery.
