Any Questions?

hargreeves gender headcanons

luther

cis and doesn’t really get the whole gender thing, but hes supportive

diego

honestly, im conflicted but im going to tentatively say cis

has definitely thought about his gender in depth before, especially after like all his siblings started coming out as trans (so around the age of 15 right until he was 22)

but, eventually, he knows that he’s, without a doubt, a dude

allison

nb

pronouns are she/they

will steal clothes and makeup and just like. anything and everything from klaus

feels a disconnect from womanhood, but also a connection? its complicated

once they tried to explain their gender to luther and he really didn’t understand anything but he was like ‘i have no idea what that means but i support you and youre still my best friend : )’ and allison is like. yeah okay good enough

will call themself a woman, and is fine with with other trans people calling them a woman but no one else

wlw and nblm

is open about her gender and doesnt really make a big deal about it, but the first time she called herself trans or nonbinary there were so many articles published about it and everytime someone interviewed her they asked her about it and she just -_-

klaus

nb

pronouns are he/him

will steal clothes and makeup and just like. anything and everything from allison

honestly doesn’t feel particularly connected to womanhood or manhood or any specific label, he’s just vibing

nblm and nblw

five

age twelve he told everyone he was a boy and then proceeded to completely ignore anyone who slipped up

came out at the same time as vanya

they were pretty much the same size so grace swapped his and vanya’s wardrobes

really he only knew people could be trans because vanya came up to him and was like ‘i think im a girl?’ and he was like ‘you can do that?’ and shes like ‘i think so?’ and hes like ‘oh. me too then’(but abt being a boy) and then he proceeded to find as many books on the subject as he could and shared them with her

grace had actually given him a name but he decided he likes five better

ben

well. five and vanya came out and ben immediately started reading everything he could find about trans stuff and while reading he was like. huh that sounds like me.

so, two and a half weeks after five and vanya come out ben is like ‘okay me too.’

he decided on the name ben for himself

vanya

she kind of always hated being referred to as a boy. like she hated it so much, it was one of the few things that could actually elicit a strong emotion out of her and for the longest time she has no idea why

then one day, someone refers to her as a girl and shes like !!!! holy shit!! im a girl!!

a few years later, after holding onto this and mulling it over, she approaches five bc hes her best friend obviously

they read so many books about being trans and gender and shit and shes a little @_@ but! shes having fun and five is using the right pronouns for her and its the most comfortable shes ever felt

she told five that she wanted to come out, but was really nervous about it and he offered to come out with her (he was kind of already waiting for her to be ready for that anyway but she doesnt know that)

unlike ben, she did not want to change her name! she really likes the way vanya sounds and its very much her name

tag any of this as ship and i will eviscerate you ❤ they are siblings and they love each other siblingly

Sorry to bother you but could I request some headcanons for autistic!Vanya? Thank you so much and have a wonderful day!

aaaaahhhhh I didn’t realize other people hc’d Vanya as autistic!! As an aspie, this makes me very happy.

She learned to read sheet music overnight. Actually playing the violin was a different story, but within a few days she could sight read better than many adults.

Unexpected physical contact makes her very nauseated! Do not!

Long sleeves keep you safe.

If someone starts talking or the music playing has words, she can kiss her train of thought goodbye.

Allison has to train her on how memes work.

She only writes her name in all caps, because VANYA is made with all straight lines.

Only verbal when she absolutely has to be.

She wrote her entire book in five days: No leaving the house, only sleeping when she couldn’t physically stay awake, etc. Her orchestra director even called to make sure she hadn’t died.

Often completely misses sarcasm when other people use it, but can sling it herself left and right. Even she’s confused by this.

She’s incredibly reliable. With a memory like a steel trap and an intense fear of letting people down, she has no choice but to be.

Rock concerts seem like they would be her worst nightmare, but she loves them. She just has to have time to prepare herself for that much stimulation.

Dissociation Queen

She wasn’t diagnosed until her twenties, when she actually went to therapy.

At first she was very upset by it.

“Great. So not only do I suck at everything, but my brain is messed up on a fundamental level. Love that for me.”

She’s since learned to identify and manage her symptoms. She can now avoid situations that would cause extreme distress, and somewhat keep track of Social Mistakes™ and learn from them.

She even joined a group for autistic adults at her therapists suggestion. She related to them more than anyone in her life.

“They’re just people. There’s nothing wrong with any of them. Maybe that means there’s nothing wrong with me either.”

What do you think it was like for Vanya when she was in that weird trance in 1x10?

Because I’m partial to autistic!Vanya I see her trance as kind of a sci-fi version of a meltdown: She goes completely nonverbal, displays out-of-character levels of aggression, wants to stick to her routine by attending her concert, and only shows signs of self-awareness when Alison is nice to her instead of trying to attack her like her brothers. I think internally it may have been a similar experience to the one they showed us in season 2 when she’s being electrocuted. The cataclysmic power just adds some  *✧･ﾟ:*spice.･ﾟ: *✧

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

6 Days before I can see Vanya who is definitely smaller than she is in that image.

allison & vanya reacting to men saying wild and unexpected shit

oh, how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?

I like the way they were all stood at Ben’s funeral

Luther is standing closer to Allison but also Pogo and R*ginald, which we already know that he was closest to those three.

Allison is standing next to Luther and Klaus. Klaus and Allison definitely had little sleepovers in each other’s rooms as kids.

Diego is standing away from everyone else and is standing by Grace, which shows he was probably only nice to Grace. We know he is a Mama’s boy but it is Grace, who wouldn't be?

Klaus is far from the adults so he probably only spent time with his siblings. I feel like his relationship with Ben was just him annoying Ben, while he was trying to read.

Vanya is not standing next to anyone but the coffin and an empty space. This is to show she is fully alone now that Ben and Five are gone.

i’ve just thought of a concept that is either genius or madness, i haven’t decided yet. but what if vanya and diego swapped their season 2 arcs?

so like, vanya touches down in 1963 and doesn’t forget everything that’s just happened, doesn’t forget that she’s just ended the world, and starts her sixties journey with a well deserved freak out. she ends up sobbing on the street about how she killed everyone, how she destroyed the moon- and promptly finds herself in a psychiatric clinic. which is where she finds lila. lila, who isn’t afraid of her. lila, who doesn’t make her feel like a freak because, lila is weird too. 

and when vanya uses her powers to save them from the swedes, lila still isn’t afraid of her. they run, and it’s wild and crazy in a way that vanya never thought her life would be-

up until lila betrays her.

and it’s even worse, because vanya had trusted her, had told her about how jenkins had used her, and lila’s done it all over again - but she doesn’t look happy, doesn’t look smug or vindicated, and vanya recognises the look on her face, because she knows what it’s like to hurt the people you care about. and if vanya could be forgiven, if she could still be loved, then maybe lila could be too.

meanwhile, diego drops down in the sixties, immediately runs out into the street without thinking, and gets acquainted with the bumper of sissy’s car. and the guy looks dangerous, with all his scars and knives, but sissy just hit him with her car. so she takes him home - and of course she can’t tell her husband, so she sets him up in the barn, thinking once he wakes up he’ll be on his way

except, diego wakes up without his memories beyond his name. and he doesn’t seem dangerous, not really, so she can’t just throw him out, can she? besides, carl is barely home these days, and she could use some help around the farm. she doesn’t really intend to let him around harlan, but it’s a small farm, and it’s not long until she ends up introducing them. diego doesn’t seem to know how to act around kids, because he freezes up, but as soon as it’s clear that harlan is non-verbal, he sort of just- clicks. he doesn’t try to get harlan to speak, not like carl does, just quietly plays with him without any expectations. and when he witnesses one of harlan’s meltdowns, he doesn’t seem alarmed by it. he just… understands. looking at his scars, sissy wonders if he had been prone to them, too.

one day, she sits down with him in the barn, when carl is asleep, and asks him how he’s so good with harlan, when his own father doesn’t want to be around him. diego goes distant, thoughtful. says he thinks he had a speech problem as a kid - a stammer, maybe. sissy goes hopeful, and says, you don’t stammer at all now. you got better. but diego doesn’t smile. he says, no, he doesn’t, but he doesn’t think that happened out of kindness. he might not remember who he was, but he still feels a rush of fear when words stick in his mouth. he tells her that he wishes he’d had someone to accept him as he was, rather than trying to change him. and suddenly it’s not so strange that he’s so good with harlan.

they talk. a lot. diego thinks that it might be unusual, for him, because it’s hard, but he trusts her. almost like a sister, he thinks. and he’s protective like a brother, too. so when sissy finally admits that she wants to be free of carl, free of the way he looks at harlan, free of the way he bullies her, diego is more than happy to have a… conversation, with carl. it turns out, he’s very good with knives.

anyway, not sure where i’m going with this, but it sure was a Thought
