[fbdo1986]

▼- i know this is like. late and sorry bout that but let's have those ferris childhood headcanons!!!!

- okay this one is silly but. ferris was absolutely a dinosaur kid. i’m sorry i just can’t not imagine a bright eyed young ferris with a dinosaur obsession. it just makes sense!

- i’m going to also talk about fer and cam’s friendship origins because!!! childhood friends!!! i think ferris was pretty much friends/friendly with every person in his classes growing up, but i think cam was maybe the new kid in fifth grade. (i read/heard somewhere that apparently cam’s howe jersey is representative of his grandfather, who either gifted it to him or it was his favorite team so cam likes it a lot, and i believe his grandfather was from michigan! so i think cam moves from michigan to illinois in the summer before/the fall of their fifth grade year). i think ferris immediately perks up because hey! new friend! but i think of course cam was quite shy and pretty closed off, but fer could already tell that cameron was really smart and was sorta in awe of that, but also saw that he didn’t really have anyone trying to be friends with him. so of course, our lovely ferris decides, hey, you’re gonna be my friend! i mean, obviously in like, a more nonchalant way, maybe commenting on how good at science cam is and giving him the classic, cheery smile, and eventually asking him questions about his life in michigan and whatnot. cam is very surprised that someone this rambunctious wants to talk to him, but he’s not mad about it. eventually ferris is like “you don’t seem to have many friends. but you seem really nice and smart, i don’t know why someone wouldn’t want to be friends with you. do you wanna be my friend?” and im CERTAIN by the end of the week ferris is ALREADY calling cameron his best friend, and they’re inseparable ever since. 

- i also think immediately after he meets cam he can’t help but tell his family about it, and also within the week he’s invited to ferris’s house for dinner. he meets jeanie here too, and i’d love to make a separate post about jeanie and cam as childhood friends! 

- in reference to something i talked a bit about before, i think ferris is both a very protective kid and also surprisingly sensitive. it’s something his parents are really proud of, i mean who doesn’t want their kid to like, actually be emotionally competent, but i think they’re--in the most parent way possible of course--like ‘isn’t our boy just the sweetest? he’s so kind and sensitive!’ i think this comes out the most when (yes i know this is a bit heart wrenching but as a kid who got bullied for being disabled growing up, having someone stand up for me really would’ve been everything to me and i think this is very accurate to them) people pick on cam for being disabled. i don’t think it happens that often but the first time it does ferris isn’t actually there, but cameron’s acting out of it and he is absolutely going to pry to find out what’s wrong. cameron of course says it’s nothing, but to ferris looking like that absolutely means it isn’t nothing, and when cam gets it out ferris is absolutely just. incoherent with anger. he feverishly asks cam like, hey, don’t you have a baseball bat somewhere at your house? i could give these jerks something to actually complain about. luckily, ferris doesn’t actually y’know, use a baseball bat on anyone, the thought literally horrifies cameron because there really is no need for that, but since then every time when ferris does witness people picking on cam he’s immediately, without question, taking up as must space as possible and yelling in their faces to never, ever do that again. and yes, he starts angry crying midway through but everyone is too taken aback to even say anything about that. it’s a pretty effective strategy, because they’re so stunned that ferris could even be that angry. eventually when they get older cameron lets ferris know that he can pick his own battles, because especially once they’re teenagers it’s more about snarky comments anyway, but ferris always has the metaphorical baseball bat in hand just in case. 

- also while this doesn’t relate only to child ferris, but i think he hates having people see him cry. i think the only people he really feels comfortable crying around is cameron (and eventually sloane), so i think when cameron notices ferris crying he feels really touched, because he forgot all about that for a moment and kept going. the two talk about it later and eventually they’re both cheering each other up, walking with their arms around each other like they always do and cracking jokes so that maybe if one of them stops crying the other will too. 

- i touch on this in one of my wips, but i think cam and ferris both liked baseball as kids! i think ferris thinks its cool that cameron also plays hockey! (because i think that cam played hockey as a kid as well). 

- i also think that ferris was also one of those kids who was always in plays in elementary school, and of course was more enthusiastic than almost half the students. but it didn’t really matter, he always did so well and his parents were always very proud of him. 

- i don’t think ferris was the most amazing student ever, but i also think he did/does have a pretty funny knack of remembering hype specific facts about very niche things. i think cam actually does that too, although it’s more stuff about medicine. when sloane meets the both of them i think she’s surprised because it’s so funny how both of them do that. i think cameron’s always willing to help ferris in school, (i’ve said this before too), especially with science, and the same thing with sloane. although the two sorta tag team it at points to help fer out! 

- in that same vein, while he wasn’t/isn’t the best student, he was often called a model student because if nothing else, ferris is completely a team player and will participate in just about anything! (“why can’t you be a team player like ferris is?”)

- i think while his kid room is a lot different than his teenage room, it’s still incredibly filled to the brim with posters and knickknacks! i honestly think cameron was a bit in awe the first time he saw it because... yeah his parents never really let him express himself much in regards to decorating his room.  what starts with “how do you have so many... things?” ends in cam talking about his home life, and honestly i think that these two trusted one another so much in the very beginning that honestly it didn’t matter that they’d only known each other for like, a week. 

- yet again, something else i touch on in writing but i think this prompts the establishment that they don’t really keep anything from each other. similarly, i also think, like many kids do, they seal everything important to each other with a promise. 

[fbdo-ohyeaaaaah]

hey katelyn i know this is totally unprompted but what made you start shipping the ot3 and when? for me i think it was probably my second or third rewatch and it was through camsloane! i was like... they’ve got something which immediately lead to me picking up on their chemistry with all three of them

aw thanks for asking! for future reference you can totally ask me anything unprompted lol. i started shipping it around the end of january this year, that was coincidentally when i first started polyshipping and realizing i was polyamorous haha. i noticed that fbdo was back on netflix and it was already one of my fav movies before i got obsessed with it so i rewatched it immediately. i originally just started shipping camferris and ferrissloane bc the camferris scenes came first and i remembered ferrissloane most clearly from my last watch. then when the trio got together my poly senses started tingling and as i kept watching i picked up on all the ot3 stuff and camsloane scenes (which i apparently forgot about since my last watch) and i realized holy shit they’re all polyamorous and in love with each other! which i got really excited about bc i was especially itching for poly content when i 1st realized i was poly and this ot3 was done so so well. then i started a blog where i could talk about it bc nobody but you was talking about it on here and now it’s my favorite ot3 and the rest is history :) it’s really cool though that you started shipping them through camsloane, wish i was as big brained as you back then lmao

Rage || Cam & Nick

Nick had just arrived at this godforsaken place and he had already gotten into a fight. A typical day for Nick. He was fed up by the staff taking away his smokes, so he needed to work out is aggression in some other way, seeing as he couldn’t just light up a fag and smoke the anger away now. Cam looked like just the perfect person to work his anger out on. The boy looked like he had seething anger problems himself, seeing as how pissed he got just by Nick talking shit to him. This was definitely going to be a good fight, and by the sounds of it, Nick might even get a fuck out of it. Nick liked to bottom as much as the next gay guy did, but he wasn’t about to tell Cam that, if him and Cam would end up fucking he would be the one topping Cam, no doubt about it. Nick groaned as he walked down the hallways, searching for room number five. The hallways were still a strange place to him, so it took him a while to find Cam’s room, but after some searching he finally found it. He didn’t bother knocking and just went inside, cracking his knuckles and smirking down at Cam. “Come at me, fucker.”

Gray: You forgot your smokes here, babe.

[fbdo1986]

yknow actually i would pay an outlandish amount of money for the pool scene in fbdo to have had extended dialogue after ferris rescues cameron where sloane goes “i hate you!” (or perhaps fer and sloane say it to cam at the same time) and cam slyly goes “no you don’t.” and the two (or all three) go back and forth for half a minute 

[fbdo1986]

and i KNOW you haven’t forgotten about this because I SURE HAVENT

[fbdo1986]

people who only ship one ship out of the ot3... get well soon i guess 

[fbdo1986]

a fun headcanon for sloane i just thought of:

before the ot3 get into a relationship, sloane has a habit of saying cameron is cute when he gets defensive about being embarrassed or shy, like if he’s nervous she will immediately shut him down and say “don’t worry, it’s cute” and it’s not until she fully reconciled with her feelings that she’s like. oh my gd i was literally calling him cute this entire time why am i so stupid

[fbdo1986]

nothing is better to me in a not yet established relationship than when the people involved have massive amounts of chemistry and but aren’t quite ready to confront their feelings so there’s just a constant of an “i hate you” with a grin and sparkling eyes that prove that’s the last thing they feel about them.

[fbdo1986]

okay but knowing the camferris and the camsloane hugs ive written are about equal in tenderness is making me so happy right now

[fbdo1986]

no offense but writing so nonchalantly a kiss between two men... in a specifically bisexual relationship... will never not make my heart flutter it makes me feel so proud and happy

[fbdo1986]

why is “it is possible to stop the ferris bueller, you know” never talked about what a good line

[fbdo1986]

“i made you take the car out this morning.”

“i could’ve stopped you. it is possible to stop mr. ferris bueller, you know.”

has the same energy as neil telling todd he can’t take care of himself in dead poets society

[fbdo1986]

i think we as a collective society are forgetting about the implications that cameron effectively faking some of his mental breakdown and pretending to almost die via drowning had on both ferris and sloane?? like did ferris save cam from drowning? yes! did sloane also nearly have a breakdown of her own after cam wasn’t snapping out of it? also yes! it’s almost as though the last time i checked... he was in love with the both of them? and wanted to see how much he meant to the both of them?

aka he loves them both your honor
