Hiya Kai! Hope your day is going good! Do you have any hcs about pre-canon cWil, cSchlatt, and cNiki you'd like to share? :D I miss them so bad

hi holly!!! i hope you're having a good day as well!!! :D i've been writing a lot of these three lately so here are a few random headcanons and such :3

the vibe for the trio in my mind is kind of. wilbur and schlatt are already old friends. wilbur meets niki and they become close friends as well. so it's a bit of a situation where niki and schlatt would consider each other friends but wouldn't really if it wasn't for wilbur. neither of them really acknowledge it but there's a quiet (almost jealous?) little back and forth between them bc they're so different, and wilbur is kind of caught in between. this doesn't become a Problem until later though

schlatt tries teaching niki card games but she has the most godawful pokerface ever. cannot lie to save her life (and often times they're not playing for anything more drastic than who shouts the first round of drinks next time they go out or something so the stakes are not necessarily high. fortunately)

similar wavelength niki and wilbur keep gravitating towards teaming up against him in card/board games bc he wins most of the time otherwise and he's like that's not how you play the freaking game

niki bakes just kind of bc she likes it herself but it does mean whenever they're hanging out she usually has something she can offer them and can make things for birthdays and such. wilbur and schlatt try baking her a birthday cake once and well you saw how wilbur's attempt went in the apology stream. imagine that but two people collaborating who are 1. even less experienced in baking and 2. really don't want to ask for help

by this age (like...late teens early twenties) wilbur is dimly aware there is something not quite right with how his brain works. schlatt is kind of stubborn in the "there's nothing wrong with me" camp but there are early signs of what becomes bigger issues later (insecurity around his health, addiction, etc). as of yet, they kind of consider niki as ""normal"" (ie not like them). wilbur and schlatt are both keenly aware of what each other are dealing with but wilbur's number one priority is that the mask never slips around niki ever. this doesn't last (and kind of drives another division between him and niki vs him and schlatt)

wilbur and schlatt spend some time counterfeiting enchantment books for a living so wilbur and niki decide to spend the time becoming fluent in standard galactic. schlatt is 100% certain they are doing it to talk shit about him (he's only correct like 26% of the time /lh)

wilbur came from the antarctic empire while niki and schlatt were born in warmer regions so he thrives in the cold. they absolutely do not. wilbur stands in the street in a thin button up like wow the weather is lovely today :) while the others have three layers on

kind of friend group to sit in a (minecraft) parking lot 2am and shove each other around in the (minecraft) trolleys. niki complains if they don't put them back after though (works in minecraft retail and hospo)

they have a collective bad habit of getting into spats and not really apologising for them. like two or the three of them will get into a blowout argument one night and the next morning they'll make coffee or go on runs or buy each other drinks or just kind of hang out in each others' space to show they're not mad anymore, but they're not very good at actually saying sorry. or admitting any of them were wrong lol

had a few too many on a night out almost got matching tattoos. got turned away by the tattoo artist for being clearly wasted (in later years this would be called a dodged bullet)
