#liberty’s kids headcanon

[call-me-casual]

I saw a post by @icarusbetide saying that they love the idea of George Washington being a gossiper and I am behind this 100%, but I would like to add for consideration him constantly shipping the people around him. Someone on his staff courting someone? He’s silently praying it works because he thinks it’s cute. If it’s someone he disapproves of, he’s all “oh honey no you can do so much better”. He’s the one subtly trying to “encourage” along certain relationships. His aides are begging him to stop. He will not yield.

He accidentally witnesses James and Sarah kissing or being otherwise lovey and he’s just

[disaster-magician]

Imagine this takes place at the end of step 2 so they're close enough to joke around with each other lol

Okay but this has made me consider something

In LK Washington’s teeth appear fine. Logically this is just because they probably didn’t want to draw his teeth being manky but it does make me wonder if in this universe he doesn’t have teeth problems or if he does have dentures still. Do they cause him pain? Do his staff know about them? Do the kids know about them?

Can’t remember how many teeth he had left during the revolution but it definitely wasn’t most of them, so it would’ve been interesting to see how the show would handle the topic (probably dispelling the wood myth) because who knows it could have made for a great excuse to teach more about 18th century dental and medical practices

Imagine George Washington taking a FAT ass bong rip and coughing so hard his nasty ass teeth fall out hahaha

Here's my headcanon: If Connor existed in Liberty's kids

Henri definitely learned how to climb, hide, and eavesdrop from Connor Kenway

Henri would see connor as his hero like Marquis de Lafayette

Liberty’s Kids Characters Headcanons

James: Makes feather crowns(like flower crowns but with feathers instead)/necklaces

Sarah: Is thinking about cutting her hair

Henri: Has brought multiple wild animals back to the printshop with him, even though he is scolded for it each time by Dr. Franklin and Moses(he snuck a raccoon back to the printshop once, I don’t know how???)

Moses: Writes poetry when he can

Dr. Franklin: Once put a sign up on the printshop window that says: “We can fight at this location, so act wisely”

John Adams: Has used candles to try to set John Dickinson’s coat on fire.

George Washington: Has a wolf puppy as an emotional support animal(His name is Juno). He cuddles with the pup before leaving his tent.

Aight let’s go:

-If they didn’t end up getting married at some point during the Washington administration, James and Sarah would definitely team back up to cover events like the war of 1812

-Henri’s family had at least some form of social standing before they died lmao which would maybe explain why he has at least some knowledge of French aristocracy

-James and Sarah each keep up correspondence with Henri to make sure he’s okay. During the French revolution James probably had half the mind to go over there and get him but was stopped by goddess of reason Sarah

-Sarah totally has a column or something in James’ paper even if they aren’t married

-Moses got his school and also offers tutoring for the kids that may be a little behind (there will be NO illiteracy on his watch SLAY KING)

-Washington is absolutely terrified of Sarah (the reason is up to you lol) and has had to be physically restrained from trying to adopt James and Henri before

-Sarah does, on occasion, write back and forth with Thomas Paine to bounce ideas

-If they aren’t already in a relationship, almost everyone they know and interact with frequently is trying to subtly make it happen (they’re tired of the will-they-won’t-they)

-less headcanon more me being a budding genetics nerd: if Sarah and James had kids, they would probably be blonde or strawberry blonde because blonde is more dominant than ginger (despite them both being recessive genes but anyone who knows more about this please I want to know)

bored, half asleep, trying to be free of covid-insomnia insanity. fellow LK gremlin creatures, share some headcanons,

Sarah Phillips will fiddle/fidget when she's deep in thought, and if she's thinking about certain people, she'll fidget with certain things in particular.

Most obviously, she'll fiddle with her necklace when she's thinking about James. Flipping it around the chain when she is worried about him, like if he's not back home when he said he'd be. If Sarah is twisting it back and forth between her fingers, she's annoyed because of something he did. If she's gently rubbing the pendant with her thumb in middle finger, she misses him. When Sarah was in England, her mother saw her messing with her locket like that most when her daughter was by herself.

When Sarah taps her feet in a little rhythm, she wishes Henri was there. She can imagine how he would react, and how he'd lighten the mood, make everyone laugh a bit. Or she's hungry, which hunger is something she's grown to relate to Henri, as he's almost always hungry.

If Sarah is thinking of her mother, she'll often twirl the hair around her face, especially when she wishes her mother were there to make sense of the situation or to just sweep her hair from her face and put it where it belongs. Or Sarah will spin her quill between her fingers, trying to commit whatever is going on around her to memory as her mother would love to hear it.

When thinking of Moses, Sarah will mess with her skirt. She'll wrap a bit of the fabric around her finger when she misses him, or wishes he was there to talk her down and help things make sense. If she's bunching her skirt in her fists, something is reminding her of Moses and Cato, and how Moses looked at his brother with so much heartbreak in his eyes. How he'd stay calm in the face of atrocities when he has every right to be enraged, how he doesn't want her to be enraged on his behalf("It won't change anything they do, Sarah.")

She could be thinking about anything or anyone if she's messing with her ponytail or the end of her braid(Sarah had to have braided her hair a lot. I know dic animation never changed character models unless they had to, but still). Sometimes it's her dad, cousin Tom, Abigail Adams, Udney, Arnold before his betrayal, Dr. Franklin, Molly from the women's camp. It could be anyone she grew close to in the war, honestly.

Very few people know that Sarah's thinking about certain people based on what she's messing with. The person who'd know most of them would be Henri, as he's the person that she spends most time with in the liberty's kids timeline. He mostly picks up on the big ones, like when Sarah misses her mom, or how she memorized the rhythm he played when getting the sheep to New York, which if Sarah wasn't one of the best people he had met before, she is now. The day he picked up on Sarah messing with her necklace = Sarah is thinking about James was rough. For her(I should just write that as a story). Sarah had to promise she would make Henri his favorite dinner for a week if he didn't tell James.

Speaking of whom, James would probably notice the different tells if the sight of his crush best friend and colleague staring softly into the distance while tenderly fiddling with the necklace he helped make for her that he'd never seen her part with since didn't make his brain shut down for a solid minute. At least.

Saratoga I know you are militarily important but what if I just want to talk about how cool math is instead

Sarah passed out at the sight of Hales hanging. As he was making his farewell speech, James and Henri noticed she was breathing fast and she grasped to James like a koala. James didn’t shrug her off in fear that she was going to pass out and when Hales neck snapped, that’s exactly what happened.

He was able to safely lay her on the grass but was panicking while trying to wake her up. Henri thought putting a piece of cheese under her nose would help. It was the sound of James’ voice that called Sarah back to consciousness eventually.

One of the guys witnessing the execution as well offered to take them to a nearby inn where he stayed at frequently. James had to hold back his anger when one of the redcoats rolled his eyes and commented, “This is why women shouldn’t be allowed at hangings.”

James and the other grown fellow, Robert, helped Sarah get to the inn so she could rest but she would have a hard time not thinking about the sound Nathans neck made when he was dropped from the gallows.

“The poor dear. Fainted from shock, he said,” Sarah would hear one of the bar ladies comment.

Sarah got up later that day to help James write his article about Hales bravery.

I sometimes think about this scene because it just comes across as Washington being totally reckless.

He - the head guy of his entire army, a guy who many a person would’ve gladly attacked or captured - has (probably) rushed down to a random secluded pier to shout (giving away his location smh) to his ally. No soldiers or guards in sight. I don’t see any horses around either. Did he run there on foot??? He’s literally just with James, a civilian!

He could’ve been snatched at any point on the way down there, but instead of considering that, he bolts like an excited puppy ffs

Retreats Georg, a straight twink is NOT adequate security!!

The fic potential is pretty good though. like did he drag James with him or did he just follow? Did he actually run on foot what was probably a few miles just to find somewhere to shout at Rochambeau from?? What if he had gotten captured???

[betty-bourgeoisie]

I just genuinely think it's kind of weird that there aren't more OC's for Liberia in this fandom

[tricornonthecob]

I apologize to all y'all and to OP for inflicting Liberty's Kids headcanons, but this is Mrs Radcliffe/Mr Radcliffe energy.

[tricornonthecob]

They're actually quite gracious and cultured when you get to know them.

I kinda feel like if Dr. Franklin was a half-wolf and someone was learning from him, he would chase them and try to kill them multiple times as a final test and be proud if they managed to survive him.

Scenario Below:

Dr. Franklin: “You’ve done very well so far! You have survived each trial.”

Y/N: “Thanks, Dr. Franklin!”

Dr. Franklin: “But there’s one more thing you need to survive…”

Y/N: “What’s that?”

Dr. Franklin: “Me.”

Dr. Franklin looks up at Y/N and gives them a wide grin, showing his glistening fangs. His grayish-blue eyes start to glow brightly.

He then flexed the fingers on his left hand. The nails started to extend into sharp black claws, slightly glistening with the limited light shining through the trees above him.

Within half a minute, Dr. Franklin is already on his feet, blurring his way towards Y/N. Y/N, startled, quickly regained balance and started running.

With their coattail riding on the wind, and Dr. Franklin chomping at it, Y/N proceeded to dash away in the forest.

Dr. Franklin: “Funny, usually people don’t endure me for this long!”

Y/N: “There were other people?!”

Dr. Franklin: “Yes, but they were never as fast as you!”

The scents of pine, decomposing carcasses, and dew drifted into Y/N’s nose. They kept looking back to see if Dr. Franklin was getting close.

Y/N loses their balance and falls into a pile of leaves. Sputtering leaves, they quickly stood up to see Dr. Franklin up ahead waiting patiently, arms behind his back.

Dr. Franklin(*gently patting Y/N’s head*): “You have done very well, indeed! Not many people have lasted longer than a minute!”

Y/N: (*visibly traumatized*)
