headcanons of the spelling bee kids & adults for funzies ( most of which were influenced by fellow cast members )

Olive:

-she doesn’t like the idea of labelling herself but not straight, she/her

-dating barfee she totally forced her and barfee to have a ship name, it’s ovbarfvsky, chip thinks it’s funny

-dream job is a stay at home mom who runs a radio

-likes reading classical books

-her mom never came back, so she started sending her letters to mitch, in which he wrote back

Barfee:

-straight white man…, asexual, he/him

-autism

-started his sea anemone collection when he was 5 and has loved it since

-eventually grew out his ego

-also reads classical books but secretly reads those kids books that are diary style (ex: dear dumb diary)

-he stims a lot by tapping his foot or bouncing his legs, also a nail bitter, not out of anxiety but just out of boredom usually

Marcy:

-aromantic/questioning, she/her

-really into piano and violin but now she uses them to play really hard metal songs for fun

-she’s really into pop culture stuff but she’s also an environmentalist, so she keeps a closet of mostly graphic shirts of shows she likes and jeans

-stranger things fan; nancy is her favourite

-but i’m a cheerleader is one if not her favourite movies, she also finds megan relatable

Logainne:

-lesbian, had a crush on olive during the bee and a bit after that (obviously), she/her trans woman

-adhd & half jewish

-wears suits to any occasion, even in her sleep sometimes

-she’ll watch anything with gay or jewish rep in it and give it a surprisingly harsh rating

-her favourite show is bobs burgers

-stims include pacing, jumping, pulling of twirling hair and fumbling with her fingers

-had to get braces on her top row of teeth in her later teen years

Chip:

-bisexual, he/him

-has braces AND a pubestache, the braces are colourful

-mom picks out most of his clothes still

-chip is the one that put peanuts in the brownies

Leaf:

-gay, he/they, adhd

-total outdoor kid

-tons of his clothes have pride flags sewn into them but most people don’t notice

-considers the spelling bee kids to be his best friends and sometimes just shows up at their house uninvited

-he likes spending time with logainne mostly because she’s loud and excitable like him

-plays the cat piano in his spare time

-always keeps cat food on him to give to stray cats he finds

-his homeschooling schedule absolutely terrible, sometimes he just walks into the woods for hours and doesn’t come back until dark, and nobody in his house notices

Panch:

-so straight, perhaps even homophobic on top of being misogynistic

-his favourite WAS chip, until the, erection business

-after courting rona and getting a restraining order, he moved onto another realtor, he has a thing for them

-doesn’t know how to iron or wash clothes properly

-went back to, unhealthy coping habits for lack of better words, after rona left

Rona:

-bisexual she/her

-the indigenous farmer she met was a woman obviously

-doing much better for herself after getting rid of panch

-didn’t find out about her sexuality until she met that farmer

-she truly loves kids and hopes to adopt someday

-her original dream job was a hairstylist, but she had no natural knack for the job and was much better at persuasion and public speaking

Mitch:

-TRANS

-acted out and went to jail for beating someone up

-cares about olive the most though he won’t tell

-his least favourite kid is chip but he doesn’t hate any of them

-as the years went on he started giving the losers more than juice boxes, stickers and participation awards were added

-one of those tough guys who has a flock of parrots in his house who he’s suprisingly gentle with

-went through a buzz cut phase, it was not cool.

🐝 I know we closed a week ago but here’s my postmortem. Thank you to all involved and to everyone who watched our little show! ❤️ This is Leaf. He makes his own clothes. He likes— no, he LOVES to spell. He now knows many South American rodents, including #Capybara and #Acouchi. He has cats. He KNOWS he’s smart! Goodbye, Leaf. I’ve had the absolute best time flying in your cape. You’ve brought me so much joy. I’ll miss you very much. And to all the young friends Leaf made in the audience: Remember you are loved. You are capable of more than you know. Always #BeeYourself! 🐝🍃📖🏆🎤🐱🐀 #25thAnnualPutnamCountySpellingBee #BeeSmart #BeeCool #Theatre #BayArea #RepresentationMatters #POCActors (at Pacifica Spindrift Players) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aqK8qDJ9c/?igshid=kvq97l20vtoc

When they’re plunking our other parts, I become Olive Ostrovsky and sing my part into my hand (an often used technique). #25thannualputnamcountyspellingbee (at Tuacahn Center for the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3F7PkipPQ7/?igshid=1vnwi4g4b14ix

I was talking to my boyfriend about The I Love You Song from 25th Annual

And he told me "Wow, that's depressing for a musical"

And I just kind of laughed

Like

Oh sweetheart

You are so innocent
