#its EXACTLY the kind of place i want to work in too 🤞🤞🤞

[elialys]

Cross your fingers for me, I've been looking for a 6 months long internship for the past 2 weeks (ever since I started school, since said school didn't tell me that by starting directly into year 2, I had to have an internship lined up for the end of September 🙄), I secured an interview this upcoming Thursday

for the character headcanon thing uh perhaps jen barkley

I love any opportunity to talk about the love of my life, Jen Barkley 😌💙

(If you want to see my headcanons for another character I have or haven't worked with, send them away in my ask box. These are a fun way to take a break while working on a longer fic for Friday 👀🤞)

1) 💙Sexuality Headcannon

Honestly, I see Jen as a lesbian (and no, that's not just me being self-indulgent). Yes, she has talked about "relations" with men, but I don't think she finds any real romantic pleasure out of it. I think of it similar to this one TikTok that's been going around lately. She's sometimes done things with men out of pure boredom, but she doesn't feel anything during those situations.

2) 💙Otp

I would say Jen x me, but I'm going to be serious here. I never really considered shipping Jen with anyone in Parks and Rec, but now that I'm forced to think about it, I could find her with Ann or Donna to be really cute. With Ann, she could have the City girl x small-town girl type of relationship, and with Donna, they would just be a rich girl power couple.

3) 💙Brotp

I LOVE the potential bro relationship that Ben and Jen could have had together. I feel like Jen would roll her eyes and act annoyed by all of Ben's nerdy jokes, but she'd secretly just enjoy working with him. I also love her relationship with Leslie. Leslie is like the hyperactive, excitable version of Jen and I think Jen could use a little more excitement about work in her life. Also, I have no clue why this makes sense to me, but Jen and Andy. something tells me if they were in a room together, Jen would silently be entertained by Andy's golden retriever personality and they'd make amazing drinking buddies.

4) 💙Notp

Jen and Chris. Chris is just far too clingy for Jen and again, I headcanon her as a lesbian anyways.

5) 💙First headcanon that pops into my head

Jen has everything in her life organized. everything has its place and she gets very annoyed when something isn't where it's supposed to be. She also color codes a lot of her stuff, including her clothes, work files, and writing utensils.

6) 💙One way in which I relate to this character

Jen is very honest with advice and in her daily life. She isn't afraid to say what's on her mind, and I've very recently started doing the same. Is it the best thing? Not all of the time, no, but I think that's why people often come to me for advice. They know that I'm not just going to tell them what they want to here and I'll be honest about how I feel, which is something Jen is known for.

7) 💙Thing that gives you second-hand embarrassment about this character

I personally don't really get second-hand embarrassment often, but I think Jen would feel very embarrassed if she did something unprofessional when she thought the press wasn't looking, only for them to catch her. I'm thinking like some kind of dumb thing she did while she may or may not have been drunk on a Friday night.

8) 💙Cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

I'm not exactly sure what to say for this one. I think she could fit both in one way or another. Do I think she's a cinnamon roll? Yes, but she would never let the general population know that. Do I think she can be problematic? Probably. Honestly, she likely has some very Capitalist views. If I had to sum her up, she's a Girlboss. 💙
