Not only this is a perfectly valid explanation rooted in your own life, but it's also implied in the series' press kit! These words date back to the series premiere - Lor getting more in touch with her feminine side is how her character was presented before it even aired.

Her voice is noticeably different in the last few episodes, but it feels right because it's part of her growth. She dresses differently later on and keeps experimenting with her identity, way more than her friends. Interestingly Tino's Mom, who's rarely 'pushy', is adamant that Tino learns to love her unconditionally - makeover and whatnot - and helps her embrace who she wants to become. Just proves how relevant the show still is.

Voice Facade

A headcanon I had to explain Lor's voice changing over the course of the show is that the rough-and-tumble voice she started out with was her intentionally putting on a lower vocal tone to sound intentionally more rough and tough.

As Lor became more sensitive, more considerate, and more in touch with her feminine side over the course of the show, she gradually stopped lowering her voice and the lighter, higher tone that she has in later episodes is actually her natural voice.

And yes, when I have the time, I do wanna write at least one fanfic exploring this idea.

This headcanon of mine was based off of me doing the exact same thing when I was a preteen. Though since I'm male, me putting on a voice facade was due to me wanting to sound more like a man, since I was one of the last among my friends for my voice to drop.

I wasn't the last one though, so yay to that.

Though if I could go back and give advice to my younger self, I'd tell him not to be so insecure and superficial about his vocal chords.

You're only young once.

Thank you @unawakened-dragon for bringing this to my attention! It's so short I almost missed it, but... Disney acknowledged The Weekenders!

Attention to any and all fans of Disney's The Weekenders out there!

We now have a Subreddit of our own under construction!

Did you have a personal age order for the kids?

(Since I don't think or I don't remember any birthdates being explicitly stated in the show.)

And if you didn't have any or didn't consider that question before, would you agree that leaving it up to the viewers to decide was the beauty of that?

(Given that kids watching the show might make up their own age orders for the characters based on which main kid they associated with the most.)

Yep! I agree with you, leaving it up to the viewers to decide does add a special charm to the show. And... I must admit I spent a lot of time thinking about their birthdays as a kid lol The thing I remember most vividly is my weird headcanon about Lor's birthday occurring in March because in Crush Test Dummies (the first episode) Tish says Lor's birthday is 'not for eight months' so I added eight months to that episode's air date in my country lol But if we start counting from the show's actual debut in the US (February 26th) the month changes, of course. Not to mention the production date... Other than that I recall fondly the idea of Tino and Tish being the youngest members of the group. If there's one thing we know for certain, is that none of the kids celebrates their birthday is in December. The holiday episode shows this calendar featuring the most significant dates and none of their birthdays is mentioned, I feel like Tino would have made a few specific references or something like that at the very least!

Just a little observation.

One of the last episodes of The Weekenders had Carver's older sister, Penny, and one of Lor's older brothers, Kirk, fall for each other.

As for the 4 main kids, there was no intention behind the scenes of pairing either of the boys with one of the girls, or vice versa.

With the exception of Tish, the other main 3 had their own crushes, but these were all played as just childhood crushes — as it should be.

In terms of fan shipping, there's healthy amounts of evidence for pairing Tino with Tish and Carver with Lor, or the other way around, with Carver and Tish, and Tino and Lor.

Future fanfics usually deal with the topic of these kids angsting about growing apart from each other and the world pulling them in different directions.

BUT, here's where my observation comes in.

Say Penny (Carver's older sister) and Kirk (Lor's older brother) did get married.

That would make Carver and Lor siblings-in-law.

If Carver then hooks up with Tish, and Tino gets together with Lor, then through the binding rules of marriage, they all become family in-laws.

Not only do they get the opportunity to stay together (best friends marrying each other cuts out the time spent with third wheels), but staying together in itself is made much more likely when you're all under one family.

Future fanon ideas galore from here.

Later days!

(Closing off here with a link to my favorite fan art piece of these kids that I've discovered while browsing the web.)

Headcanon: All of the Weekenders are at least neurodivergent

I know I was inspired from a redditor (who shall remain anonymous) that commented on a post from a subreddit, but let me explain why I believe in this theory as long as you respect it.

Let's start off with Tino. Not only is he afraid of microbes (and clowns) and is weirdly obsessed with strange concepts, but his parents, especially Ms. Tonitni with her....questionable food.

Lor has ADHD, and we can see many indicators as to why. Not only she sucks at school, but she has a pretty short attention span, as well as being quite impulsive. Heck, there was one episode where she mentioned that she wasn't good at some Civil War test at school due to her lack of focus and being bad at organizing. It's not blatantly stated, but it's the best what I can theorize for now, okay?

Tish is probably autistic since she shows quite a bit of developmental maturity for her age, as well as extensive knowledge in different subjects, especially on artistic culture such as classic literature. A common trait with many autistic individuals is that they can get a huge streak of trying to be perfect that it overwhelms them. And as someone who falls under the autism spectrum myself, I relate to this scene, hard.

As for Carver, his worst Kwanzaa that he mentioned in "The Worst Holiday Ever" was when he wore two different socks, at a family only event. Take one guess on what I am referring to for this theory.

What are your thoughts on my little headcanon? I would love to hear your thoughts on them.

[disneystheweekenders]

Carver: What is it like, 200 pages? I thought the entry for this contest was supposed to be five minutes long. Tish: You're right, we'll have to keep the pace brisk.

[disneystheweekenders]

If Disney ever decides to bring back The Weekenders with a smaller project (say, YouTube exclusive shorts with a 9 minute length similar to Bluey), would you be ever interested in it? Because I would love to see bite sized cartoons of the further slice of life adventures of Tino and his friends but in the modern era.

I have been grown attached to these characters and become my personal comfort characters, and it's one of the many reasons why I LOVE this show and its a shame that this show is often ignored by the company, even it did had those small glimpses once in a while.

You know, I used to feel very apprehensive about a potential comeback or reboot: the quality and consistency of the writing has always been particularly important to me. But listening to that interview with Doug Langdale, the one about him wanting to keep writing for the show? It reassured me a lot, and yeah, I'd be totally down for it. Imagine the voice actors reprising their roles, now that they are so popular... it would be magical. The Youtube exclusive shorts suggestion is a clever one because the old episodes were short anyway, it'd be perfect for the 'weekend-only' format and they would never run out of ideas! I am still bitter over the show's cancellation occurring right before the last five (or so) scripts were produced, especially when creator kept saying that the show would get 'weirder'. Guess we'll never find out what he meant.

When you have time, could we get a GIF uploaded from Sense and Sensitivity of the bit where Lor is being ragdolled by one of her older brothers in front of her friends?

That moment lives rent-free in my head, and is honestly just straight-up pure adorable (aside from outright hilarious) and is one of the main things that made Lor my favorite of the kids when I began rewatching the show.

(My favorite was Tino when I first watched the show as a kid.)

"She makes waffles! She says please! She won't punch anybody! Fix her!"

The gifs are now ready to live rent-free on your dashboard as well :) It's hilarious and cute because Lor's brothers don't expect her to be compliant! :)

hello I can ask question. who Cheri Montaigne (plus episode appearance)

Hi! :) Cheri is considered the prettiest girl in Bahia Bay Middle School. Carver has a crush on her because she's unattainable :D She makes her first appearance in Tickets. She has a small role in My Punky Valentine and a fun comeback in Secret Admirer.

It’s muffin time! Could you post some gifs?

A little bit later than I hoped to post this but... hope you like it!
