#Thad harwood

[lusthurts]

so i discovered this headcanon generator on tiktok and im a big fan of the results (yes i’ve included my ocs, why wouldn’t i???)

[porcelainvino]

you stand before the council

[contactproblem]

Thad, David, and Wes look like friends or at least on good terms but I have secret intel (headcanons, I made all of this up) that in season 2 when Thad and David are sophomores and Wes is a senior, Thad and David got involved in pretty useless drama the year prior. Wes was their only mutual friend and he kinda checked out for his last year of high school.

You see, in freshman year, David and Thad were both new and pretty good. Good enough to land a spot on the council, but who should get it? Only one spot will be open next year. So the two engage in show choir rivalry, the likes of which would make Rachel and Mercedes proud. They have to really tone down the competitiveness when Wes chastises them for unsportsmanlike conduct towards their own team members. And then, after eight months and a very very close call decision, David makes it and Thad doesn’t.

Except, one of the council members transfers to a different school. So there is a need for another new council member. And who else but Thad should get it? And yeah, he does get what he wanted. But he still can’t shake the feeling that he wasn’t their first choice.

During Season 2, he has to work with the guy who was ever so slightly better than him. And also his responsible friend Wes. Thad tries his best to make the most responsible council decisions possible, sometimes he just happens to clash with David. Council only meetings often end up in disaster, leaving Wes to handle a lot more of the responsibilities than he would like.

So he forced the two to make up or at least be civil when they work on Warblers council shit, so they begrudgingly comply until the very end of the year when they realize they actually really do enjoy each others’ company. Then at Wes’s graduation, they are very miserable because more than half of the last two years was wasted on petty bullshit and now one of their best friends is leaving.

So Thad and David become actual friends come Junior year (s3), which is also conveniently the time they need a new council member. It would’ve been Blaine, but he left for McKinley. Who do they pick?

The answer strides through the door with the confidence of a seasoned sous chef entering a restaurant’s kitchen. Sebastian Smythe, in all his arrogance, can sing quite well. And he has the charisma that, somehow, draws most of the Warblers to him. And so he replaces Wes as third council member.

Now, David and Thad are pretty good leaders, don’t get them wrong. It’s just that Sebastian’s leadership style is a lot more… independent. But as private school college counseling gets a lot more time consuming, it’s probably best to let Sebastian take care of the day to day rehearsal work while Thad and David plan competition technicalities.

The events of On My Way definitely change Sebastian. While he’s still a little bit bossy and continues to lead practices, he’s also more involved in behind-the-scenes stuff. David and Thad are definitely warming up to him.

Suddenly, senior year rolls around and the school brings on Hunter to lead the club? Do schools even recruit for show choir?? It’s the pair’s last year though, and no one is keen on losing either senior as a leader if Hunter also has to have power. So they have to kick Sebastian off.

In the timeline where Hunter doesn’t use steroids for a singing competition, maybe the trio forms a short lived bond. They have a really awesome graduation party where Sebastian triple checks with all the returning Warblers that he will most certainly get to spend his senior year as an actual council member. They’ll actually reinstate the system, gavel and everything. David and Thad cheer, because Wes really liked the gavel.

very random warbler headcanons

✨ sebastian smythe ✨

- played lacrosse in france and was liked by his teammates, but wasn’t necessarily popular in school

- scandals bar habits came directly from nights in paris

- neither of his parents are homophobic, but he’s heard the horror stories and fears losing his relationship with them

- his maman knows about his late night habits, but doesn’t question him about them. she’s always known he was gay, but he never directly told her. she fears if she brings it up, he’ll clam up 

- still, she looks out for him in ways she can. teaches him how to be safe outside at night, shows him ways to defend himself if he ever has to. sneaks extra condoms in his nightstand drawer

- takes him a while, but eventually realizes his mom knows, but isn’t trying to stop or control him. awkward about it at first - doesn’t go out for some time and definitely doesn’t bring anyone home. but when their relationship doesn’t change, he goes back into his old ways. does make an effort to be safer (and even a bit more open about it), though, for his maman’s sake

- something about the smythes: love preparing for social gatherings; hate social gatherings. their house is always the place to be during the holidays bc it’s huge and gorgeous. mrs. smythe loves decorating for christmas, and all three of them love to cook and bake for it. but then throughout the night, they all just want their company to go home so they can sleep

- both parents taught sebastian to cook and bake, and he has a book of their favorite recipes that he pulls out during late nights at dalton

- charcuterie board connoisseur 🧀🍷

✨ nick duval ✨

- from michigan but at dalton on a scholarship (i read a fic where it was a soccer scholarship, and my brain adopted it)

- childhood best friends with jeff

- not good with directions. can’t really tell left and right apart. on road trips, he’s not the driver, nor the navigator, but a secret third thing (in the backseat, wondering where the nearest rest stop is)

✨ jeff sterling ✨

- second child of four siblings + has a twin sister

- also from michigan, but siblings are scattered all around states (has an older brother in florida, too)

- loves his family, but they have their issues. grateful for nick’s support throughout his life, otherwise he’d be pretty lost

- when nick got accepted to dalton, he begged his parents to go, since most of his siblings were separated anyway. they let him go mostly to have one less child to monitor 

✨ hunter clarington ✨

- doesn’t believe he can be liked, so he settles for being feared

- this works for coaching the warblers, but he quickly learns he’s not accepted nor respected by them

- left out on lima bean study dates and movie nights and other warbler group activities. hurts him, but he doesn’t show it

- canonically: acts out with steroids until the boys plant enough evidence that blaine and sam find out to get him expelled

- noncanonically: after one strenuous practice, he loses his cool and shares his insecurities. very slowly, the boys open up and forgive him, like the did to sebastian after the slushie. eventually, he’s brought into the group as a friend, instead of just being on the outside as a leader

✨ thad hardwood ✨

- always first to forgive

- giant goof that makes everyone smile, even on the worst days

- has a theory that kurt killed pavarotti for blaine’s attention. wes thinks he’s crazy for it

✨ trent nixon ✨

- public school bullying brought him to dalton

- lives closer to cincinnati, ohio. wishes he was in westerville, though. doesn’t feel safe in his hometown

- parents aren’t divorced, but they don’t love each other. very close with his mom, not at all with his dad. has to talk to his dad once a year, though, bc he pays for his schooling. this usually happens around christmas-time. unless his dad drinks too much the night before and forgets

- queer. every so often wonders if he’s bi, but has never been in a relationship with anyone so he doesn’t know. curious about girls, but at the same time, can’t imagine dating one. doesn’t feel a need to figure it out ~ he likes who he likes

- has the biggest crush on blaine. relates to him, wants to protect him, and thinks he’s absolutely adorable

- was the one to kick sebastian out of the group after the slushie. all were mad, but he shouted at him for almost an hour, and even pushed him once

- last to forgive sebastian, but did eventually. also apologized for pushing him. he’d never physically touched anyone like that before and he felt bad since it happened, but not bad enough to apologize right away

✨ david thompson ✨

- aroace

- best friends with wes. they went on a date once, but both decided they were better as friends

- the warblers call them their dads (no one knows about the secret date, but their parent-like protectiveness over the group brought on the gag)

✨ dalton academy ✨

- students are allowed to use the kitchen as long as they keep it clean and know basic safety rules

- there are three fire drills a year. one is during classes, one is at night, and the last is unannounced and random

- lots of begging resulted in the warblers all being put on the same floor. all freshman students and transfers are randomly placed, but going into their sophomore year (or next year up), they can request roommates

- the school’s no-bullying policy extends to having emergency buttons in all of the dorm rooms and hallways, in case anyone ever feels unsafe

[new-warblers]

Warbler headcanons: Wes, David and Thad edition

- David and Thad were Wes’s first friends coming to Dalton and got him to join the warblers.

- All three of them have the top marks in their year level and have study sessions to make sure no one falls behind during competition season.

- David is a collector of mystery and thriller novels, but his guilty pleasure is those cheesy cop shows. The trio binge them during their free time.

- Wes has a strict sleep schedule and will never be awake past 9-10 unless forced.

- Thad has a nightly skin care routine that he sometimes does with David and Wes when they hang out in his dorm room.

- Wes has only had David and Thad over at his house when they are off from Dalton, but his parents love the warblers.

- When Wes was told about the stuff Sebastian and eventually Hunter was doing, he contemplated going back to Dalton to set things straight (he was barely stopped by David).

Fuck you *thadifies your cup*

[new-warblers]

Warbler Scooby Doo au where Hunter is the new student in Dalton after some sort of accident at his old school and it’s his last chance before he is sent to Military academy. Seb and Hunter are the ones to meet first, not exactly liking each other but having a mutual respect after getting to know each other.

The two are the ones to end up finding out there’s something weird going on at Dalton, deciding to go to Thad after a encounter with the ‘monster’ roaming around the school. He’s the groups mystery and crime enthusiast, immediately trying to get to the bottom of the case with the twos help.

During one of their midnight investigations, they run into Jeff and Nick who are being persuade by the monster, all of them eventually working together to take it down.

(Honestly not fully sure if I’ll actually do anything with this au but idk. Comment what you think?)

Fred- Hunter

Daphne- Sebastian

Velma- Thad

Shaggy- Jeff

Scooby- Nick

In conclusion:

Puck and Sam are the most shippable characters with 19 each (including ocs)

Of the main 13, Santana is the least shippable with only 7 (including an oc)

If a character isn’t here is because I only ship them with only one character or I simply don’t care about them

And now I’ll tag 286 characters *sigh*

Thad sucked in a breath.

[randomestfandoms-ocs]

You can't just say that you'll never write anything as good as a scene and then not share it give us the goods

oh man anon welcome to the shit show that is the SOWK verse! for some context, this is a scene between Thad Harwood and Dave Karofsky, who become friends after On My Way. Thad is under the impression that he and Dave have been dating for months, Karofsky is repressing the hell out of his feelings for Thad, and when the rest of the inner circle bring this to their attention (he brought you to a Warbler party, Dave, that's as serious as it gets), Dave panics, flies back to New York, and instead of going back to his campus upstate, he finds himself at Thad's apartment, and this scene takes place when Thad gets back to New York a few hours later!

It's long, so I'm putting it under the cut, with warnings for internalized homophobia & internalized aphobia

(also I'm not posting the entire thing bc I want to create intrigue but also I want to post the entire thing because I'm obsessed with them rip)

Thad walked home alone from the train. Dave should have been there, should have been laughing as he complained about the cold, reminding him that Ohio winters were far worse. Come on, Prep School, he'd have said, did two weeks in the Caribbean really turn you into a wimp? Thad would have bumped their shoulders together and faked a pout until he could no longer hold back his laughter, and that would have kept him warm all the way home.

Instead, he was alone in the bracing wind, bundled up tightly but still chilled to his bones. Finally he made it to his building, up the elevator, and to his door. All that he wanted was to get inside, to make himself a cup of tea and curl up under his blanket, to try to pretend that this horrible weekend had never happened. How empty would it feel, without Dave there beside him, sharing the couch and stealing his blankets? He almost couldn't remember what it was like to be alone.

Almost. Not quite. Being alone was engraved into him, just as much as being a Warbler. Dave may have helped him forget it, but it would come back easy enough. It was who he was, after all, at his core. And he had been foolish to think that it could be any different. He wasn't boyfriend material, he knew that. He was a good friend, a better listener than anyone would expect, but he wasn't built for relationships. Enough of his past partners had told him that — he was selfish, icy, a frigid fucking bitch — and it was his own fault for pretending that Dave could have seen him as something more.

He unlocked his door with shaking hands, and he would swear to the grave that it was only the cold making him shake, all too ready to bundle up and cry.

But when he opened the door, there was someone else there. There, on his couch, with his blanket, looking like he belonged.

He does belong, his heart whispered. Shut up, his brain retorted, don't get our hopes up.

"Dave?"

Dave looked up, surprised. Like it wasn't Thad's fucking apartment that he was sitting in.

"Thad? Wow, um… I hadn't realized the time. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here, I'll—"

He stood, halfway to the door, before he stopped again, looking at Thad – really looking at him – for the first time.

Then, at the same time – still in sync, a traitorous part of his brain whispered – both of them spoke.

"I'm sorry." "I'm sorry."

"What? No, Dave, you didn't — I mean, I'm the one… I mean—"

"Breathe, Prep School. Please, let me talk? If I don't… I don't know if I'll ever be brave enough again."

More than a little curious, Thad felt himself nodding.

"Go ahead," he said, just a second delayed.

"Even before I knew that I was gay… I've always known that I wasn't built for love. Not real love. The only relationship I even had was with Santana and she was using me as a beard to win prom queen. It just wasn't in the cards for me, and I kind of came to terms with that. And then I realized I was gay, and I really knew. I was never going to come out, so even if love was a possibility, it still wouldn't be."

Thad opened his mouth – to comfort him, probably. To tell him that he was wrong, that he was built for love and that Thad himself was fucking proof of it. But Dave kept talking.

"When Aurora introduced us, I was at the lowest point in my life. My dad could barely look at me, my mom wanted to send me to conversion therapy, my friends had all turned on me as soon as the news dropped. And it felt right, you know? Karma, maybe, for everything I'd done. For how much I had hurt people, especially Kurt. And it was awful, but I accepted it. This was my punishment, and I had to live with it. But then Aurora showed up, and… well, you know what she's like."

Thad couldn't help but chuckle at that — he did know Aurora.

"She showed up in my hospital room, and I only barely recognized her. But she came over to my bed, waited until she had my full attention. She's so small, you know, but even then I could feel how much of a fucking force she is. She just stood there, looking at me. I was about to ask her what she wanted by the time she actually said anything. She told me that she knew how I felt, that she'd been in my position and she knew what I was thinking. And she told me that that wasn't good enough. That I wasn't allowed to just accept it, to just resign myself to being miserable for the rest of my life until the day I died. She said… she said 'fuck everyone else, Dave, fuck what you think you owe them. You owe it to yourself to keep living, to fight for your happiness.' She told me that I'd fucked up, that she wouldn't deny it, but that I still deserved to see that it really could get better."

A few tears escaped as he remembered that conversation, the words that had changed – and saved – his entire life. Thad wanted so badly to wipe them away, but Dave was still talking, and he didn't want to miss a word.

"She told me that I needed new friends, a better support system. She said that my dad should talk to Burt Hummel, and that my mom should shove her bullshit up her ass – her words, not mine. She offered to introduce my dad to Wes and Cooper, too, said that they could help him understand. And she said that she and Blaine were happy to talk, but that it would be good for me to have a friend who was, you know, a bit more like me. And she gave me your number, said that you were expecting a message and that I'd better not keep you waiting. She probably knew that, if she hadn't said that, I would never have sent that first text.

"But honestly, I found her a little scary. Still do. So I texted you. And god, it's the best thing I've ever done. You didn't expect anything from me, you didn't expect me to just go back to normal or anything, and you were always there for me. You helped me figure out how to keep living, how to have a life. You helped me find a school where people wouldn't know but also wouldn't care, you helped me figure out how to talk to my dad… God, Thad, you helped me so much more than I can even explain. You became my best friend faster than I even realized."
