booping someone numerous times when they only booped you once feels like this
Since I've been updating the presentation I made about Elliot to include examples from season 3, including evidence of a key trait I was actually missing before (sensory issues). Holy Palkia guys I think this is the most thought I've ever put into a single headcanon for a single character. Never thought I'd be this hyperfixated on anything produced by Hallmark. Side note that reading a 1000 page PDF on a laggy ass school issued Chromebook sucks and I don't recommend doing that ever.
If Elliot actually IS autistic, he isn't diagnosed, and some of his behavior the last couple of seasons is at least partially the result of him being stressed and burnt out. Maybe, being that he's a teacher, he'll meet a student who is very similar to him and is diagnosed, and then be like "oh. OH. That explains a lot actually." Like I did about myself when working on this.
Man, I really did a whole presentation for an actual high school class to back up a headcanon lmao. To be fair I also, a couple years earlier, when I got to choose any science related topic to do a project on, proceeded to talk about moths for 10 minutes. You know, I could probably do a similar project about Kat and ADHD(eez nuts lol sorry) but I'd have to dig through 2 flash drives to see if I even still have the PDF of the entire DSM-5 stored somewhere from when I had to back up all my files from school before my account was shut down after I graduated.
I have fanfiction ideas...
mostly about Nick and a very intentional autistic Elliot maybe being a couple of bi guys in a relationship.
I could also finally post that mediocre oneshot I wrote about Elliot and sensory issues
Yeah all I got right now is some specific events and the birthdays of some characters.
Random The Way Home headcanons:
- Nick is fiercely protective of Elliot.
- Elliot watched The Land Before Time constantly as a kid.
- Danny gives Jacob a Nintendo Switch and a copy of Pokémon Let's Go Eevee. He also later gets Scarlet. Elliot has Violet. Neither can get through the Area Zero storyline without crying.
- Jacob's favorite Pokémon is Rockruff
- Elliot's favorite Pokémon is Umbreon
- Del watches Heartland
- Alice definitely grew up watching My Little Pony. Idk who her favorite character would've been though.
- Elliot has a Stegosaurus plushie named Dominic.
- Kat loved to climb trees as a kid. She convinced Elliot to try it once, which went horribly wrong.
- Nick still thinks deez nuts is funny. Jacob also thinks deez nuts is funny.
- Elliot and Nick both play Minceraft
- Elliot has a fear of snakes
