Brian Kelly School Headcanons

Gleaming the Cube (1989) is a crazy, skateboarding movie where the main character, Brian Kelly, does not get enough credit for being beautiful (and also solving his brother's murder and being an expert skateboarder and other unimportant stuff like that). Some of these are kind of a given just from watching the movie; if you feel like I'm mischaracterizing (word??) him, please, please, please tell me.

Given the obvious stares and looks of shock when he did his drastic (-pasty, snotty-) change, he's pretty well known in the school to be the bad boy skater.

He'd be the class clown, purposefully interrupting class (although he'd either dial it down or all the way up in his few classes with Vinh).

Some would like him because he'd burn class time debating about the teacher's choice in chalk or making a ruckus with his friends; before the teacher would know, class is over, the bell rang, and half the students are out the door before they could give homework because of Brian.

It might just be me, but I think I'd be on his not-fantastic side because I'd walk to the wrong side of the sidewalk to get out of his way. He's zipping past on his skateboard and yelling for people to move to get to school and I'd panic and take thirty seconds to decide which way to go. Just me? ...okay. Anyway, moving on-

He and Vinh both have pretty large friend groups of people who are like them; those two friend groups have plenty of people who don't like each other, since one is a skater gang of upstarts and class clowns and the other is a study group of top students. Whenever there are feuds, Brian either ignores it or makes a show of talking to and fistbumping Vinh to half-signal to his friend and Vinh's friend to chill tf out.

To the ones who give him dirty looks in the hallway, he gives a passive aggressive smile and a little wave, which usually catches the attention of his friends. Under the stare of a friend group containing 6 '3 Tony Hawk, they turn away quickly.

Fidgets with his earring, either jangling it around, or pulling it in and out. This is when he's extremely bored and got separated from his friends.

All teachers dread him. He's the one with the reputation that transcends grades. There was an instance where a teacher, very wary and strict to him, was on the good side of Vinh, and he asked Brian to stop picking little fights with the teacher. Brian reluctantly agreed and then started to volunteer to hand out papers before class and such, and the teacher became even more wary and suspicious of him.

The Shakespeare section was Hell to him. Vinh tried to help by quoting it in random situations and asking Brian what it meant; he just burst out laughing at how stupid he sounded.

All his presentations where he got to choose what he did was on skating or punk music; he finally had a 100% to show his parents.

Wasn't a glue drinking kid; he gnawed on pencils, though.

More concerned with tossing shoes out of his closet to find the pair he wants than combing his hair. More concerned with putting milk before cereal (I'm kidding! I'm kidding! Then he'd deserve to go to jail /hj Maybe, I don't know- kidding!) than remembering to grab the crumpled homework on the table.

Has probably started a mass cafeteria food fight; one orange slice hit him in the side of the face and then he started the next world war.

Actually really good at fundraisers, since he's an extroverted boi and a lot of people know him from skateboarding all around town.

Everybody has at least a sliver of an opinion on him. The school is cleanly split into two: slightly negative and slightly positive. Slightly negative comes from the people who know him as, "The Loud Kid who Almost Ran me over this Morning." The slightly positive people are the ones who either hate school and like him wasting class, or the ones who take one look at him and agree with me: he's peak gender envy (I mean, that time was around when that kind of style was getting popular [I think]).

After Vinh died and the canon movie ends, I like to think that he went back to his more skater boy style but still tried harder to get good grades. Whenever he gets a good score, before showing his parents or friends or Tina, he goes to Vinh’s grave to proudly show him.

Brian Kelly Headcanon Compilation

Hello, mostly dead fandom! Yes, tis I, someone who can't skateboard and who was decades yet to be born obsessing over a skateboard movie from 1989! This is a bunch of headcanons about Brian Kelly, the peak of gender envy from Gleaming the Cube; I'll probably either make another post of more because this dude does not get enough attention (J.D. can fck off-). If you get different vibes or disagree, please give reasoning because I love seeing that, and I really hope that I characterized him correctly because I love him so much. Gosh, okay, I'm done.

Hogwarts House: the one might be a bit of a given - Gryffindor! He continuously shows how brave (rushing into danger to save Tina), stubborn (ignoring a police officer’s dismissal and investigating more), adventurous (looking for dry pools to skate in; plus, breaking into a storage center has to be a result of adventurousness in some part), foolhardy (jumping out of a car, blowing up a propane tank, crashing through a glass wall), and trusting (knowing his friends will come) he is. He’s bold, he’s playful, and he doesn’t give a shit about any rules except justice. He’s reckless, he’s an upstart, and by God is he a Gryffindor. (Hufflepuff - yes, he’s loyal, but he’s not patient; Ravenclaw - yes, he notices things, but he’s not wise; Slytherin - yes, he’s resourceful, but he’s not ambitious) Note: this is not meant to insult anybody; these are generally very stereotypical traits, so if you are a Gryffindor or any of the other Houses and don’t act like Brian, that’s understandable. Also, if you have another opinion, please let me know! 

Swearing (Part-Canon): he never swears around his parents unless he’s extremely ticked off at them, which is usually in some kind of heated argument or when they’re scolding him. He mumbles curses under his breath when he’s losing at chess against Vinh, but other than that, doesn’t around him. He swears a lot more around his friends; not as much as some of them, and he’s not one to cuss somebody out derogatorily. Instead, he swears when he’s frustrated about not getting a trick right, or excited and whooping, or comforting a friend (“Forget those fuckers.”) 

Percy Jackson Cabin: for this one, I was torn between Ares (Cabin 5) - Brian rushes into a gun fight, knocks the villain’s gun out of his hand with a skateboard, refuses to give up his fight, and picks a fight with a police officer; plus, stereotypically, Gryffindors and Ares kids overlap a lot. But Hermes (Cabin 11) shows a lot of Brian as well, since he’s always going somewhere on his skateboard - Hermes is the god of travelers and roads - and he knew to evade the motion sensor and tricked the guards to go inside a trailer - Hermes is also the god of cunning. I’m going to say that Brian Kelly is a Child of Ares, since his brash and courageous nature dictates the story, and a Legacy of Hermes, since his traits from that god more moves it along. 

Doodler or Writer? I think that Brian is a visual person, and loves to doodle. His homework and notes in class are filled with more doodles than answers, and he likes to customize his clothes, skateboard, and shoes, either with pins or patches or dying/painting. 

How do they Hold up in Pillow Wars? Are you kidding me? He’s the instigator, and he’s the winner. The only time he loses against Vinh is when either accidentally crashes the chess table, scattering pieces everywhere and upsetting Vinh; Brian helps him clean it up and try to remember where the pieces all were (with minimal fake remembering by Brian), and he declares it a tie. Brian is the kind of person to steal two and try to use his weight to smother his mortal enemy with them, while Vinh would just panic and start whacking him in the face (ah, brothers). 

How he feels about people taller/shorter than him: alright, so I can’t exactly Google how tall Brian’s actor, Christian Slater, was in 1989, so let’s just say he hasn’t shrunk or grown in thirty-four years and is 5 '9. That’s average on the dot, but a good handful of his friends are taller than him (*looks at Tony Hawk*); that being said, he usually doesn’t mind it, since they’re there to skate. He does mind some, however, when people who are looking down on him are literally looking down on him (Officer Trac); when that’s the situation, he either subconsciously gets onto something like a wall or bench, leans back to show he’s unbothered, or gets in their face (all of these are nodded to). For people shorter than him, he’s not a jerk about it, unless they’re a close friend; then, only when they’re both comfortable, he’ll do the “searching around for who’s speaking” thing but stop when his friend rolls their eyes. 

Do they Like being in Pictures? It depends. Brian hates staged photos, like with family where his parents are fixing his posture he thinks is fine and messing around with his hair and making him sit closer to Vinh when they’re already knocking heads together. When he’s around his friends and one of them is going around with a video cam, he’ll put on his shades and pose; it just feels more natural to him, like he has something to smile about instead of forcing it onto his face. 

Not a headcanon; just a little personal tidbit. I associate the song, “18” by Anarbor with him because of an edit I saw that prompted me to watch the movie. With zero joking involved, I listened to the song at least forty times in two days because I was either eager to watch the movie when I got back from school, or obsessed the next day. I keep seeing it on J.D. (from Heathers) playlists, and I- it’s Brian Kelly’s song! (Just kidding, it can be both of their songs)

Spirit Animal: he gives me American Goshawk vibes. Supreme aerial agility, symbolism in courage, and they can be aggressive. Plus, with his frosted-tips hair, he has the feeling of a bird; I hope this makes sense. 

Love Language (Canon Headcanon): quality time. From skating with his friends, to playing chess with Vinh, to hanging in the man cave, to dropping by in the fair-thing to see Tina, to getting her Coke and talking (which didn’t go extremely well), quality time is his love language. He likes to kidnap- I mean, forcefully invite his friends all the time to go skating, and also secretly map his way into abandoned buildings that would make wicked skating rinks, taking his friends there a few days later. 

MBTI Type: ENTP-A

What Time of Day he is: mid-morning (9-12). He’s outgoing and carefree, and perhaps it’s my sickness of waking up at six in the morning, but he’s the blazing sun that's still rising on a day, but not in the early morning where you wish the sun would disappear so you didn’t have to get up. 

Does he cross his legs or ankles when they sit? He'd manspread for the most part, or stick his legs out far enough to trip people and then cross his ankles. (Or perhaps sit like a gremlin, with one leg up on the seat and hugged to his chest while doodling on his homework and absolutely, completely paying attention to his teacher)

Truth or Dare? Dare, all the way; especially, around his friends, since their idea of a dare is a fancy trick on a skateboard or eating something weird.

Gleaming the Cube (1989)

Time for some gnarly awesomeness to the max with this week's B-Movie Enema review. Let's take a look at 1989's Gleaming the Cube!

Oh yeah, dudes and dudettes, it’s some more radical times ahead for this week’s B-Movie Enema review! This week, we’re going to be Gleaming the Cube and… well, hopefully… trying to learn what that term even means because it was clearly important enough to name an entire movie around it. This movie comes to us in that sweet period in the 80s that was totally trying to ride the gnarly coattails of…
