#dylan modern family

[gunmny-shark]

I think tumblr will like this one :>

This is an old notebook page from a roadtrip game I played with my sister, we would see how fast we could draw a character and get the other to guess it :D

I put most in the tags but there were over thirty so the left out ones are Professor X (scribble at bottom left), a Radium Girl (upside down at bottom right)

“…if you’re always telling yourself how lucky you are it’s probably because you’re afraid to ask yourself how happy you are.”

-Dylan, Modern Family

bro the modern family writers have such a bias towards dylan and it is so infuriating

dylan has been in the show since literally day one and him and haley have never been a stable, cute, or even entertaining couple.

Haley should have just gone with arvin tbh. They were actually cute and they really balanced out. show shoulda just let dylan x haley die with pride instead of this mess

i’m actually so sad about haley dunphy’s ending. she and andy were perfect, they had this thing going on, there was so much buildup and this plot line was really thriving, but then.. it just crashed and burned.

now, i understand that the reason for this happening was because the actor of andy probably had to leave due to some other reasons, idk i haven’t really looked into it, but it’s just SO SAD because of the amount of time they took to create this story. and if it weren’t for this, the ship would have been endgame for sure.

i’m not saying that i hate dylan, or that i hate the twins they had, or that it is “wrong” to marry at a young age and shit. im completely fine with that. i just personally hate haley’s ending and i wish it was with andy.

nevertheless, i’m sure that haley and dylan are going through it together and are living a great life.

Dean: Cas, I need to talk to you

Cas: *sadly* you want me to go

Dean: no. no, it's the opposite of that

Cas: *confused* I want you to go?

idk i'm obviously biased but "you're the first man i ever loved" kinda disqualifies previous boyfriends as people the speaker was in love with, right? as in said speaker hadn't been in actual love with their first boyfriend, just infatuation? as in going back to the first boyfriend who never completely fulfilled them would be settling? well in this essay I'll be explaining why Haley/Dylan endgame is trash and Haley/Andy---

I can’t be the only one who sees it

[questionable-disarray]

Modern Family is the show of all time

[piperslovebot]

That 70s Show/That 90s Show 🤝 Modern Family 🤝 Gossip Girl

Having amazing (potential) enemies to lovers ships with chemistry that’s out of this world, yet sticking with the same on and off relationships (Kelso/Jackie, Nikki/Nate, Haley/Dylan, & Chuck/Blair).

[tana-draws]

fuck you *polyams rival ships*

(pick one of my ot3s based off two “rival ships” which can include anything from canon love triangles, two popular ships, canon ship and popular fanon one, really whatever I feel counts)

Please reblog for reach if you want

I have finished Modern Family. This series has been really fun and will hold a special place in my heart. I am watching this when I eat lunch or dinner as I am living alone and have no one to share a meal with. Thanks for letting me be part of this amazing and loving family! ❤️

[icouldbeaduck]

[rantinginpeace]

Every once in a while the voice in my head goes -

Cause maybe baby I just wanna do you do you

Do you wanna do me, do me

Under the moonlight

The moonlight tonight

Listen, this matters to no one but me, and maybe a few others, but I really love Haley and Dylan. While I don't agree with seniors and sophmores/juniors being in relationships in highschool, the two of them growing up and going through different relationships and maturing seperately before coming back together is actually really good and really realistic. They love each other, yes, maybe a little codependent, but they are really good parents. Dylan was a great addition to the cast and Haley and Dylan are actually a lot smarter than they are given crdit for. I liked how Haley's storyline ended, because even if it seems like a copout, it really isn't. Haley is still trying to figure herself out and throughout the show, we can see that she wants to be mature and she wants to be seen as mature, that's why she was intially attracted to Andy, because he made her feel like an adult and she was considered one with him. As someone whose mother, specifically, still sees them as a child, no matter how old they get, I get where Haley's coming from. I really like her ending because it's open, obviously, but she is a mother to two beautiful babies and a wife to a really sweet and supportive man and she's happy. It doesn't matter whether you liked her with someone else, or no one at all, her ending makes sense. She finally gets the responisbility and maturity she's been searching for AND she is married to a man she feels safe with, who probably reminds her of her dad, who is a safe man and was always there for her. She can still pursue fashion and other careers and Dylan is going to nursing school, probably going to become a nurse and they love each other and they love their kids and they love their family, I love them. I think it's a good end for both of the characters.

Five years later.

Now be warned. These headcanons are based on what I personally think could have happened to the Pritchett’s by 2024. The pandemic and lockdown influenced this scenario. And it will have my own interpretations of the characters. So if you don’t like it. Don’t read it.

Let’s get the pandemic stuff out if the way first shall we?

During the lockdown Jay decided (read: he was forced to admit) that novelty dog beds were a nonstarter. So now he’s a freelance consultant for closest firms like his own. He has his own hours. And he can make them pay through the nose. So he’s very happy.

Because of the pandemic freezing everything. Gloria decided to volunteer enforcing the six feet apart rule at supermarkets. She proved very effective.

Manny got lucky. Very lucky. He got cold feet the day before the cruise left so he was at home when the lockdown started in earnest. Javier on the other hand got stuck on a Covid cruise and became born again. Gloria wishes that he wasn’t.

Joe loved the zoom classes. He got to show his teachers his room. And he became very popular with his new class when he showed them the pool.

With the housing market frozen during lockdown, Phil also volunteered at the supermarket as a cashier and cleaner. It lacks the major human interaction he prefers. But he was proud to contribute to society in some way during the crisis.

Claire hated the pandemic. Her new job went up in smoke two weeks in. She had to reclean everything every two hours. It got so bad that Alex had to recommend a therapist to her. Claire still isn’t 100% yet. But she’s getting there. Plus. She’s gotten closer to Dylan.

Haley’s marriage suffered during lockdown a little bit. Dylan was classed as an essential worker. So he was basically living at the hospital for months on end. And he felt like he couldn’t talk to her about it. Not even when a surge of very young patients died on his watch on the same day. The only one he felt like talking to was Claire. But now they’re in marriage counselling. Which is helping them a lot.

Alex and Arvin also got very lucky. They were in California for his birthday and staying at the Dunphy house when everything shutdown. Their jobs in Switzerland were packed in. But at least Alex had her family around her during the lockdown.

Luke had a mixed bag during the pandemic. He was just about to leave for Oregon when lockdown was announced. Which meant that he was still at home and doing zoom classes so that was good. But he also had Alex breathing over his shoulder.

The lockdown was a miserable experience for Mitchell. In a completely different state miles away from the rest of his family. He kept a 24 hour zoom call going just so he could see his father every day. Needless to say he was over the moon when Cameron suggested they move back to California when lockdown was lifted.

Cameron’s dream job turned into a nightmare once all of the schools closed. Plus his side of the family, especially Pameron, didn’t follow any of the rules properly so he kept having to throw them out of the house to keep Lily and Rex safe. Admittedly he did go a little overboard when he misinterpreted “bubble” and tied to wrap the houses exterior in plastic. But eventually he calmed down and got through it.

Lily fared a little better. She found learning in place boring. But she was happy to finally have a reason to yell “get away from me” when people broke the six feet apart rule.

Now on to the fun stuff. This will be a bit Luke heavy because he’s my favourite character.

Luke ended up majoring in child psychology at the University of Oregon. He figured that George, Poppy and Rex could do with an Uncle Frasier. That and he watched Silence of the Lambs a lot during lockdown. He wisely leaves that out of conversation.

At ten am on the Fourth of July 2022 Luke Dunphy became a father to a boy he calls Phillip Franklin Dunphy. Frankie for short. The baby was left on the doorstep nameless. But he knows who mother is though. He only slept with one redhead after all. He’s now suing for full custody with Mitchell’s help on grounds of abandonment.

Luke fell in love with his college roommate in 2024. Reeves McCoy. (For references sake think of John Boyega in the force awakens but with a prominent Missouri accent). Reeve is on the wrestling team and is majoring in family law. Luke brought Reeve home for the summer. He hadn’t told anyone so everyone was very surprised but very happy for him. None more so than Cameron and Mitchell. Then Cameron found out they Reeve is a descendant of the fabled McCoy family. And Cameron was raised believing that the Hatfield’s are in his veins. Reeve won him over by singling a ten hour Cher medley.

Haley and Dylan have another baby now. Clark Kent Marshall. Named after Claire. And the ward that he was born on. Neither of them get the reference to superman.

George’s first word was “oops”. Poppy’s first word was “no”. Rex’s first word was “Lily”. Lily lords it over Cameron and Mitchell every chance she gets. And Frankie’s first word was “dada”. Luke finally understands why Phil is the was he is.

Lily can yodel like Alameda Slim. Mitchell pays her 100 dollars a week to keep it a secret from Cameron. He categorically refuses to start a bluegrass band.

Alex and Arvin are married but don’t have children. They mutually decided not to. Instead they have a calico cat called Curie. Unfortunately for them. He has a habit of running through plate glass doors. So now Joe calls him Luke the Cat. And it stuck.

Thankfully for all concerned. Mitchell and Cameron moved back into their perfect house in 2021. It pays to be related to a realtor like Gloria.

Manny finally got fame for his movies. And he hates it. He made what he felt was a hard hitting docudrama about mother and son relationships. But it’s known as a reimagining of Psycho. He’s now joined Phil and Gloria in the real estate business.

Claire got on the Marie Kondo train. She started her own business where she helps people clean up their lives. Especially families with a lot of children.

Joe is a very smart student. Well. He would be if he didn’t channel all his intellect into a black market candy stall. Jay still doesn’t know where he got the merchandise from.

Phil and Gloria started a new business with Manny after Covid. Family Realty. They proved extremely successful with Mitchell and Cameron’s friends.

And that is what I think the Pritchett’s are doing five years after the show ended.

The worst thing to ever happen is when you see a character and you think they're played by someone and so you look them up. And not only are they not played by that person, but they also don't actually look like the character you thought they did. You just forgot what that character looked like a little bit
