#john reese headcanon

[aretheyqueer]

Is he gay?

disclaimer: this is a hc, not speculating on what the writers intentions were.

reason: There is no heterosexual explanation for his relationship with Harold Finch

[j1gsawz]

rip john reese you would’ve loved brat by charli xcx

[tarragonthedragon]

honestly i think if jim caviezel wasn't a literal demon and we had gotten a reese/carter relationship carter would have been like "okay pit stop you have to get a handle on your weird homoerotic situationship with finch. i don't care that you have one but i refuse to involve myself with anyone this bad at emotional communication" and it would have led directly to 109856 shots of reese looking pained and horrified (tm) as he forces out basic sentiments like "i enjoy your company" and in response finch hisses and starts at him like a feral cat

John Reese + 12 and 5?

✨ send me a number and a character! ✨

12: what's a headcanon you have for this character?

this is in no way 100% original bc i know i've seen fics about this too, but one of my favorite things is the idea that bc john has spent his entire life being a ~tool~ and a ~weapon~ that other people get to use to the extent of his usefulness (uh oh !!! why are all the characters i like The Same this is embarrassing) he doesn't know how to like.... be a regular person. and he gets super out of his depth when other people (team machine for example) expect it of him. like ????

you got smashed thru a wall pretty hard there john. we need to have a doctor make sure you don't have a concussion. and john is just like nah im gonna sleep it off its all good and everyone is like N O and he just does not understand what the problem is. mr. omnipresent billionaire finch like, ordering stuff he thinks john needs or would like and putting it in the apartment he rents for john, and john is like ?????? what do i do with a robe????? and finch is like. um. you wear it. when you're cold. and it's ENTIRELY FOREIGN.

john has never considered doing something about, for example, being cold in his apartment. why would he? why waste the energy cost of adjusting the thermostat, why purchase an entirely separate article of clothing or bother dirtying a different one, when he could just...... Be Uncomfortable? what difference does it make? he's trained to do way more uncomfortable shit than be cold. it's whatever. but harold seems to be particularly incensed about this idea. and maybe he does try out the robe when it's cold on a winter evening or a spring morning, eventually- curiously, hesitantly, acting like he's never seen one before. and hes like.......huh. its pretty nice actually. maybe there's something to this after all.

5. the first song that comes to mind when you think of them?

ok so confession 😭 i was never super directly in this fandom bc this show went off the air before i was super into any tumblr tv show fandoms. like i was absolutely reading fic on ff dot net, but i was not having a fandom experience lol. so i have actually never rly discussed any poi thoughts or made playlists or rly engaged at all, and as such i must give a sort of a cop out answer bc i don't rly have a good answer, BUT: THE USE OF THE JOHNNY CASH VERSION OF HURT IN THE SHOW AFTER. A DEATH. I WON'T SAY MORE IN CASE IT'S A SPOILER. but yeah that made me ugly cry every time i've seen it tbh, and every time i think about the fundamental defining pillars of john's character during the show, that montage section is one of them- it's still what i remember the song most for, too, bc i hadn't heard it before then, but it was perfectly chosen, and i love how emotional that song is <3

Trick or treat!! :)

Happy Halloween! (I know it might be a little past the actual day now, but, eh!)

I present to you some post Halloween headcanons for little Tracys.

Once they all get home from trick-or-treating each of the boys will dump out all the candy they've collected and take stock.

Scott and Virgil will do swaps with each other - Skittles for Reeses Pieces or whatever, so each boy has the candy they prefer. They will sample a few sweets that night before bed, but not too many. Both of them are okay at rationing out their supply over the next week, maybe two.

But John is the one who can make his candy stash last the longest, He is the expert at rationing - eating the candy with the earliest expiration dates first and everything. He's been known to have Halloween candy into the new year (by which time there may also be Christmas candy in the stash. His brothers have had their moments of trying to find and raid said stash, with varying levels of success. But they never find it all.

Gordon is the most likely to eat so much candy on Halloween night, or the following day, that he'll get a stomach ache - or worse, make himself actually sick!

Alan admires the way his biggest brothers can make their candy last a long time and tries to do the same . . . but the sweets are so tempting he's usually eaten them all within three days.

While I was at work tonight, some movie headcanons of my favourite bayverse boys came fluttering in. So here are my headcanons!

Tags: @m1dnyt3-w0lf @thelaundrybitch @turtle-babe83 @post-apocalyptic-daydream @dilucsflame33 @red-phoenixxx

If I forgot to tag you im sorry, let me know!!

Leonardo:

Leonardo like vampire/fantasy movies. Listen, just because he has to be the serious one, doesn't mean he can't also be a nerd.

His favourite movie is "Interview with a Vampire". Just something about the beauty of this movie he enjoys.

A close second is the LOTR Trilogy. Sometimes while he's meditating, he will have "Taking the Hobbits to Isengard" on repeat through his headphones; he'd never hear the end of the teasing from his brothers otherwise.

Rahpael:

Raphael loves violence, but his favourite kind of movies are chick flicks. So movie nights with April are always fun as they gush over all the girly things.

His favourite chick flick is "Legally Blonde". Raph says the character development of Reese Witherspoon's character was well done.

He so wishes that she could be his lawyer, something about all that pink would distress him from all the black.

Donatello:

If Donatell had the chance to attend school, he would most definitely be a theatre kid. So his favourite kind of movies are ones with musicals.

His favourite movie has to be Grease. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, such beautiful numbers between them.

Living in the abandoned underbelly of New York has its perks. Donatello has a secret soundproof room, to which he hides every piece of Grease merchandise he could get his hands on. Not to mention he can freely dance the numbers and belt out Danny Zuko's songs to his heart's content.

Michelangelo:

Mikey loves all kinds of action, so it's no surprise his favourites movies are all action-packed masterpieces.

His all time favourite movie is "White House Down". Guns blazing, fight scenes, blood and badassery? Not to mention Emily Cale's bravery being just a kid was his favourite part.

Try as he might though, he cannot hide his massive man crush on Channing Tatum in this movie, Ex-Military man protecting the president? Mikey says its drool worthy.

[ilkkawhat]

saw your tags on an ask from a couple months back where you referenced an au/headcanon where actually, warrick's not dead, just in witness protection, & i wonder if you'd care to elaborate at all because that's also one of my fave (although self-indulgent) au/headcanons

so back in the day I honestly used to play around with the idea, often writing fics where nick and warrick got trapped but reunited, warrick explaining that he was put into witness protection and I think it was within the past two(?) years? maybe three or four now where I had a dream that I do want to turn into a fic of a similar thing happening, nick and warrick finding themselves in danger and then finding each other--idk if anybody has seen person of interest but warrick was basically pulling a john reese and walking down a street at night with a rocket launcher that he was firing at cars coming at him and in one of those cars was nick, tied up and both nick and warrick had beards and teased each other about it lol, and I think I had a larger fic-universe plan to kinda rewrite things, mostly to expand on ships a bit more but the big central point of the fic would be that warrick lives, and sage warns nick that with warrick living there's now a loss that needs to be fulfilled. i think I've also talked about/thought about nick being shot along warrick in for gedda and both of them living from it

and idk, while I do think they handled the death well and didn't just forget about it, constantly reminding us in seasons afterwards and one of the final flashes nick has in his final episode on his way out is that first moment we see of him and warrick in the pilot, and it was an easy way to allow some members of the team to leave when maybe they wouldn't have, and of course gives a lot of angsty fuel for fics BUT

it's just so much more fun and satisfying to imagine warrick being able to return, maybe not immediately but someday--hell another dream i've had is nick, sara, greg and warrick all reuniting for the revival series lol and it could offer up some good angst, with the team having mourned warrick's death and vice versa, warrick's been without friends, without family and even missed the early years of his son's life and having to cope with that, and all of them coping with each other and the changes that happened and the threat that while gone, is not forgotten and maybe adds to their drive as CSIs or maybe also questioning (like Nick often did with the corruptions)

that and well, warrick is one of the best characters on the show

[procrastinating-falcon]

Headcanon that John Connor is different in every movie because every time they travel to the past they change things a little bit, so Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor fuck at slightly different times, leading to different John Connors being conceived.

[stripesysheaven]

ben :)

oh hehe 😳 my lil guy

How I feel about this character: he makes me extra bizarre and extra insane. he’s a clumsy awkward old man that gets beat up on a regular basis and it makes me go bizarre. i love him <3

All the people I ship romantically with this character: well lets see. locke and sayid would be the main ones. also been getting into ben x sawyer recently?? plus ben and jack and their little sleepover that i still find weirdly cute (i would kill for a fanfic based on them sharing a hotel room, nsfw or just regular). honestly as long as they’ve beat him up or threatened him at least once, I’m into it

My non-romantic OTP for this character: i really like ben and tom friendly as either a brotp or friends with benefits vibes

My unpopular opinion about this character: i think the fact that he’s canonly an incel is hilarious. makes him extra pathetic to me. the more uncomfortable he makes me, the more entertained i am

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: while i definitely do NOT ship ben x juliet (because of him, not because of her), the fact that he never had a reaction scene to her death was weird to me?? i know it was probably just the writers’ not thinking it was relevant, but it just makes me think him caring about juliet was just an act

My OTP: honestly not sure if i have a main ship for him weirdly enough?? i like basically any and almost all pairings for him. that being said, him and locke do tend to be my number 1 ben pairing. they’re just not typical otp levels

My cross over ship: ben with john reese from person of interest. could be a fun enemies to lovers trope

A headcanon fact: he cries every night in the fetal position, holding a bunny stuffed animal and a picture of his mom

I'm sorry, I managed to miss this one. Please forgive my late response.

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

I think I've already told you this, but I've been thinking about it a lot recently: aspec Lirael with Nick. He is, according to some earlier bits of the Sam POV bits in the book and some allusions in The Creature in the Case, probably a bit of a rake. But also maybe a bit of a romantic. Lirael is pretty aroace but a little bit demiromantic and not sex averse. She has strong feelings about Nicholas Sayre, but their relationship is mostly nerd4nerd and digging through the books at the House and in the Great Library of the Clayr. They are fascinated with each other and bonded by trauma and historically significant events more than they're in love with each other. They have kids (because bloodlines), and those kids are hella powerful Charter Mages and Free Magic sorcerers. That generation does more true experimentation with the Charter and Free Magic than has been done in centuries (Lirael and Nick and Sam obviously explore it, but both they and Sabriel/Touchstone were experimenting out of necessity and still had to spend most of their time fixing things as opposed to finding new things). Uh, so, that's a lot of headcanon for you.

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

I definitely live in a fandom bubble and have no idea what is popular or unpopular in most of the things I fan about. But, in Person of Interest, Lionel Fusco & John Reese is a much more compelling relationship (platonic) than any iteration of Harold/John or Harold & John. Harold and John are the main characters, yeah, but their relationship builds in a pretty standard kind of arc and they're just both guys with mysterious, "anonymous" backgrounds doing extralegal vigilante shit. Fusco is a dirty cop turned good guy who has an exciting arc! And he has the best nick names for John! And he has fantastic rapport with all of the other team members. The fandom is sleeping on them.

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

I answered this earlier with a thing about Chicago train schedules in the 1950s, but I've looked up some pretty random stuff. I'm going to go with wedding venues in Austin, TX (a city I have never been to)that have been around for more than 30 years (for my hangster 27 Dresses AU) and also were close enough to a park one might casually walk through. That was a really weird one to try to figure out, and apparently my cookie/tracking blocking extensions in Firefox work because I managed to escape being bombarded with wedding-based targeted ads.

[a-fandom-reimagined]

You and Reese go way back, having known one another since your days in the special forces

There'd always been this palpable chemistry between the two of you. But out of respect and loyalty to Jessica, Resee never allowed himself to act on it

But in having you join Team Machine it was like life had given you both a second chance.

The Machine, of course, waits for no one so going on a real date was kind of out of the question.

But every now and then, the Machine would throw you a bone.

Tailing numbers to museums and uneventful fancy dinners

On stakeouts, Reese would make sure to pre-stock the car with your favorite snacks, drinks, and takeout.

Your favorite music playing quietly in the background.

Reese loved watching you work.

You were a masterful interrogator, a skilled hacker, and the things you could do with a knife made his blood sing.

Every once in a while someone would catch him beaming at you with pride and call him out on it, making him blush

Your relationship wasn't a secret per se but neither of you was shouting it from the rooftops either.

Both of you came from backgrounds that painted love as more of a weakness to be exploited than a strength to be relied upon.

it wasn't that you were scared, it was just your way of protecting one another.

The only exception to this was Carter.

You were good friends with her so if Reese ever needed advice, he went to her.

Reese gently nudging you to move in with him.

You'd probably find an extra key on your key ring.

Holding it up to the light, you'd ask. "What is this?"

"A key to my place," he answered, not meeting your eyes. "Just in case."

You nodded, your face hot with pleasure. "Oh. Thank you."

He'd nod, still not looking at you, and take your hand.

One morning you'd wake up looking for your clothes.

"Reese? I can't find any of my clothes. Even my shoes are gone."

"Check inside the dresser for the clothes, your shoes are in the closet," he called from across the room.

You did as he said, finding everything just as he described.

You moved to the doorway of the bedroom, your expression unreadable. "Why? What made you do this?"

Reese shrugged, hesitantly meeting your gaze. "Just seemed…right. You're here all the time anyway. You have a key. It seemed only fair that you have a place to put your things."

The rest of the team being shocked when they come over and see all of your things in Reese's place and teasing you about it.

Tending to each other's wounds.

Both of you going feral when the other is wounded or in trouble.

Cooking together.

Reese counting down the minutes until you both can go home and climb into bed with Bear at your feet or snuggled between you both

Reese is a cuddler.

He's also pretty old-fashioned.

Helping you with your coat, opening your doors.

Finch wholeheartedly approves.

He'd watch your interactions from afar, smiling and thrilled that his friend had finally found someone.

Forcing Reese to sit through all of your favorite rom-coms and reality shows

Reese eventually getting hooked on all of them against his will.

Training together

Fusco and Shaw teasing you both relentlessly.

You and Reese eventually opening up to each other about all of the things that you both had endured in the service.

Reese making you sit through all of his favorite kung fu movies.

Late-night rides through the city on his motorcycle

Walks through the park with Bear.

[primaryasset1]

Do you ever wonder if Reese just stares at Finch sometimes when they're in the library together? Reese just siting quietly, eagerly taking in every detail about Finch and filing them away as Finch reads or types or something.

And it's not like Finch doesn't know, but he lets Reese do it -doesn't look up because if he does he knows Reese will quickly glance away as if he'd been caught doing something wrong- and he knows that watching him somehow soothes Reese, so he lets him stare. Encourages that moment of blissful peace as they sit quietly together because if anyone deserved something good -to feel safe, happy and loved- it was John Reese.

Who is soft and kind and unapologetically bright despite the fact that he's had life try to smother that light. Who will go out of his way to make sure Finch is comfortable even if he has to bend over backwards to do it. Who brings his favorite tea and pastries from the shop he likes. Reese, who would die for him without Finch asking, but instead lives for him because that’s what Finch needs. So if he could give Reese this one thing, he would, every single time.

[spacemutineer]

Any headcanons about John Reese ?

Oh, tons! I'm always all about the headcanon. 

I always saw John Reese as fundamentally a gentle person born with an unfortunate natural skill for violence that kills him inside little by little every time. What Finch gives him is what he's needed all along, care and compassion. John can use his innate care and compassion for others and he can receive it for himself too for the first time since Jessica. It changes his life. For Finch and all the numbers, he can be there in time.

John gets to use his brutality to help for real for the first time ever, since he's always just been exploited for his gifts/curses. His work with Finch is a true partnership. Harold is always his boss technically, but John learns that they need each other deeply, and what John needs more than anything in his life is to be needed, not for his prowess with his fists or a gun, but for his heart and his bravery, his soul.

[theresnosafeharbor4myships]

if you think john reese's agreement with the machine didn't include him rigging up weapons all over that rooftop that it would control while simultaneously projecting a hologram of him shooting said weapons as he rappelled himself over the side of that building and escaped in one piece to subversively reconnect with the team after ensuring they were all safe, you're dead wrong and can fight me

[ask-cloverfield]

I feel like JC Denton and John Reese would get along
