#their more affectionate interactions happen when they are in their mid to late teens / which is normal for teens to experience

[foreaft]

HEADCANONS : LUNA & FRED ft. @ofwarriorsmade !

The following was taken from OOC talks between myself and Jenny @ ofwarriorsmade.  If George is mentioned, it pertains to Kezzy’s George @ humanbludger !  Anything of intimacy : kisses, cuddling, etc., happens when they are 16+ !  Normal behavior for two teens.

Luna, as a fellow member of the magical community of Ottery St. Catchpole, grew up interacting with the Weasley family for as long as she could remember.  She is a child - hood friend to many of the Weasley children, but she’s not as close to Bill and Charlie, as they were several years older than her.  She is closest with Fred and Ginny.

After her mother’s death, Luna relied heavily upon the Weasley’s for emotional comfort, specifically Mrs. Weasley and Fred.  During the funeral, Fred stood back with Luna, an arm around her shoulders & holding her hand to comfort her, while others paid their respects, visiting her mother’s casket.  Luna couldn’t bring herself to look at her mother, and she cried herself to sleep every night for a month.

Fred gifted Luna one of his old stuffed animals and a shirt of his; with Luna’s ( subconscious ) reliance on sense of smell, aromatherapy, such a small gesture was paramount in her ability to distract herself during the night.  By recognizing his scent, from the stuffed bear and wearing the shirt he gave her as a sleep shirt, she could distract herself with a different thought process.  Instead of thinking about her sadness & sorrow, Luna would be prompted to think about the next day and spending time with Fred and the Weasley family.  “ Oh, I wonder what will be for lunch / dinner, I hope Mrs. Weasley let’s me help her cook ! ”

HEADCANONS [ FRED & LUNA ] : CONTINUED .  .  .  !

Fred is very amused and intrigued by Luna, her thoughts and what she says.  He believes everything she says to be very endearing, very positive, and he always wants to hear more.

While Luna did take the Flying class during her first year at Hogwarts, it was Fred that taught her how to “ properly ” fly ( his words ) during a summer break from Hogwarts.  She was more receptive to his teachings, and that may be due to how well they understand each other, and the benefits of one - on - one teaching.  She’s also not so shy around him.

They spend a good deal of time underneath the shade of a tree, when the weather permits, that’s labeled by everyone ( but them ) as their tree.  He tells her about the dreams he has, and she often reads to him, the Quibbler usually when she’s younger, answering questions when /if he has them.  It’s their place to share secrets and talk freely to each other without judgement or nosiness from others.

She doesn’t just read the Quibbler to him, she reads him different genre of literature too ( a mixture of his favorites and hers ), mostly novels.  When they’re in their late - teens, their reading time together is often a time of affection as well.  With Fred’s head resting in her lap, Luna uses magic to levitate the book and turn pages as she finishes a page, one hand fiddling with his hair, with the other arm resting across him.

Fred has a difficult time concentrating when it comes to reading, and he finds it more interesting when she reads aloud.  Luna often studies with him, finding it beneficial to herself and for Fred; they study under their tree or in the living room of the Weasley home.

She encourages him to speak about his dreams and ambitions aloud ( even when he believes they may be dumb ), believing that they have more power when spoken.  She’s been very encouraging of him, trying to help him see that there is value in himself and in his dreams, especially when he is down about himself and / or life.

She actually made a big speech ( in the summer of ‘95 ), under their tree, about how amazing and unique and genuine Fred is, and it was the first time that she spoke of loving him.  He took it as she loves him as a friend, and not as the romantic love that it had slipped out as.

George sees the way that Luna looks at Fred, and the way that Fred looks at Luna, and he is the first to know / recognize that the two deeply love each other.

Fred and Luna miss each other dearly during Fred’s first three years at Hogwarts ( ‘89 - ‘92 ), they try to keep in touch with letters, and spend a good deal of time together when he’s home for summers & holidays.

Ever since she was a young girl, Luna has always been very intrigued by Fred & George’s antics / humor.  She always giggles at Fred’s jokes and comments.

Fred & George have never made fun of her ( tease her maybe ), and have never made her feel that it’s a negative thing to be weird or strange.  She is eternally grateful, as their acceptance of who she is helped her to remember that she should not bend or break, or change, for anyone.

Luna writes Fred letters every week to two weeks during her travels across Northern and Central Europe ( 2000 - 2008 ).

She only allows Fred, Ginny, and Molly, sometimes George when he wants to show up Fred, to play with / style her hair, but she enjoys it very much when Fred does it.  He’ll braid her hair, and sometimes put wildflowers from around the Burrow in her hair.  She and Ginny show him how to do different things, and lets him practice them on her.

The summer of Fred’s first year at Hogwarts ( ‘89 ), he is up early, knowing she will be too, and goes to her house to invite her for a walk and show her the book he has stolen from Hogwarts ( that he intends on returning, of course ), a book he thinks she’ll enjoy reading.  He catches her sniffing the open pages, and she gets a little self - conscious, and she attempts to change the subject by asking him where he got it.  She does find out he took it home ( and probably shouldn’t have ) and makes him promise to return it when he goes back.

Luna attends the Yule Ball, hosted during winter holiday of 1994, with George Weasley.  It is a platonic invitation, two good friends attending to have some fun.  Though Fred took Angelina, Fred does ask if he may dance with Luna for a bit, and Angelina with George, and Angelina sees no issue with that.  She actually might be in on knowing about it with George.

During their school years, Fred used to find her at the Ravenclaw table and make ( silly ) faces at her to engage with her even when they had to sit so far away.  It made her so happy to know that even if everyone in the school disliked or avoided her, she would always have a friend in Fred.

Fred once discovered a Gryffindor student partaking in hiding Luna’s belongings all around the castle, and he got into a physical fight with the kid over it.  The kid never helped bully Luna ever again.

After discovering her house - mates stealing her stuff, he’d give them looks whenever he could, when he walks Luna to her table, during study hall, etc.  The bullying became a tad less frequent, but it still happened at least once or twice a week.

Fred did make sure to sit with her, or call her over to the Gryffindor table, during Great Hall meals and study periods / study hall.  He’d sometimes even bring over George or Ginny too.  Luna lit up whenever she was surrounded by her friends.

Despite having his own plate of food, Fred would steal off her plate, something she didn’t mind because she’d do it right back.  This was often a way they engaged in social interaction together during meals, and it was a way that Luna was introduced to new foods as well.  Fred would get things she wouldn’t have, and she’ll try a bite.  Some things she liked, some she didn’t.

They’d often sit close enough that their sides were touching, often subconsciously without meaning too.  When Luna noticed it happening, she took comfort in it and that Fred seemed to be just as content with their closeness.

Just before the Battle of Hogwarts, being the realistic person she is, Luna decides it is time to tell Fred how she feels about him; so she pulls him aside and tells him E V E R Y T H I N G.  If she dies, at least she died with no secrets, and if he dies, then he dies knowing she loves him.  She does not care at this point if it ruins their friendship, it is better to die knowing he knows.  He responds in a way she doesn’t quite expect, with an understanding and their first kiss, simple & short yet meaningful.  After which he makes a joke, “ Sure you aren’t a Gryffindor? ” and it makes her laugh and tear up, then he says he’s loved her for a long time, but that is all there is time for, and she’s whisked away by others to finish battle preparations.  That is the last time she sees him .  .  . until the war is over.

When the battle is done, Luna finds Fred in the designated infirmary area, and he is severely injured from being crushed by a wall.  She moves to him quickly, a hand cupped over her mouth; she will be strong for him, but as she sits beside him, holding his chilled hand, she has to stop herself from asking the healers if he is going to die.  She falls asleep sitting beside him, and he wakes later, relieved to see that she is there, there and ALIVE.

When he wakes again, and she is awake to see it, she can’t help but cry in relief.  Some of it is also a release of emotions based on the trauma experienced during the battle; but she moves to give him a soft kiss on the forehead, and immediately moves to get a wet rag and wipe his face clean of dust & dried - blood / sweat.

She isn’t sure if it’s from his injuries, or if he is overwhelmed with all that has happened, but he blurts out everything he’s wanted to say to her, and he’s wearing a bashful smile but he’s exhausted.  It is her turn for a simple, “ I love you, Fred Weasley, you just rest ” she smiles, I always will; until they can be alone.

The healers did ask her to leave while they do the immediate repairs on Fred’s body, but Mrs. Weasley insisted that Luna could stay with him if that’s what Fred wanted, and as they begin, Luna starts to feel like that isn’t a good idea because the healing is painful, and Fred is squeezing her hand hard & crying out in pain, but she must be strong for him, she has to be.  He needs her, she will not leave him.

Weeks after the immediate healing repairs, her head is in his lap, and he’s working on his fine motor skills by trying to braid her hair, and he apologizes for making her endure that experience.  But thanks her for sticking by him.  She sits up and reassures him that she will always be there when he needs her, and she gives him a soft, soft kiss.

After the Battle of Hogwarts / war ( in ‘98 ), Fred takes some time during his recovery to travel with Luna during the beginning of her internship in late 2000, early 2001.  Though she loves having his company, she does talk to him about going back to London to be with his family and continue his passions.  He can’t run away from his problems, as much as she loves that he’s traveling with her.  She comes back every three months to visit him, spending most ( if not all ) of her time with him when she comes back for those few days.

Fred is claustrophobic after receiving his injury during the war, but the vehicle Luna uses for her travels is enchanted to provide the comforts of a studio apartment.

Fred & Luna don’t really officially declare themselves an item / couple after the war; however, they are an unofficial item / couple.  They are loyal to each other, and after she begins her travels, they are somewhat intimate together ( kisses, cuddling, sharing a bed, etc. ).

Fred is guilty of forehead against forehead contact, and rubbing / brushing noses.  Luna honestly loves it so much.

Luna loves all of his affectionate gestures, whether he’s playing with her hair, holding her hand or holding her, helping her in the kitchen and tucking strands of hair behind her ear or helps tie her hair back when her hands are covered in batter / ingredients.  She loves him so much.  She does sometimes get a tad embarrassed by his attention, because she didn’t get much positive attention, in that way, especially during the school years.  So when she catches him staring at her, she smiles sheepishly and looks away, her cheeks flushing a little.

Though, when he helps her in the kitchen, he requests being paid in kisses and being the dedicated taste - tester of her food.

He flicks little bits of food / ingredients at her, and then insists that it’s not him, HE BLAMES THE NARGLES.  And she deadass looks him in the face, unamused at first, then a wicked smile sometimes crosses her face and she unloads the contents of the prep bowls at him.  FOOOOOOD FIGHT.  His mischief rubs off on her over the years.

When she initiates food fights, she says “ it’s not the nargles, they inhabit plants and there’s no plants in the kitchen so nice try ” and he pretends to be offended, giving her a gasp, fake offended that she’d insinuate he was lying, HOW DARE, before it’s all out war.

Fred has helped Luna be a bit more .  .  . wild & mischievous.

Sometimes forehead rests and nose brushing is to lure her into a false sense of security and it erupts into vicious tickle wars.

She LOVES when his hands cup her face, because she is always cold, and his hands are always so warm.  She loves embraces and cuddling with him for that reason too, not just that, but you know.

Luna wears his shirts to sleep, his smell helps lower her stress levels and relaxes her.  When Fred is away, she actually uses his pillow instead of hers.  Even after washings, things he’s interacted with smell like comfort.

Fred & Luna used to wear each others scarves while at Hogwarts, and after Hogwarts as well.  Luna with his Gryffindor scarf, and Fred with her Ravenclaw scarf.

When cuddling at night, Luna is sometimes the big spoon, and sometimes the little spoon.  She moves around frequently at night, but thankfully she doesn’t accidentally kick or punch Fred.  She just naturally turns over a good deal.

She DOES sleepwalk frequently, at least three to four times a week, and due to Fred being a light sleeper, he normally wakes when she is getting out of bed.  He follows her until she either manages to get back to the bed during a spell, or when she wakes somewhere foreign from a sleepwalk spell.  She was surprised the first several times to turn and find him following her, and she apologizes every time, but it does make her feel safer to know that he’s watching over her.  She’s ended up very far from their home before, and after he found her sleeping in the woods, he’s never let her sleepwalk alone after that.

Luna’s moving actually doesn’t disturb Fred too much, it only wakes him fully when he recognizes that she’s getting out of the bed during a sleepwalk spell.  When she simply moves, he acknowledges it and sometimes gives her a kiss on the cheek or pulls her closer to him and goes immediately back to sleep.  He snores, but it’s a soft snore.  She actually finds his snoring relaxing and rhythmic.

After the war, Arthur gets into muggle television shows, and Fred soon catches on too.  He and Luna have two TVs, one located in their bedroom, and one that is in the living room where Luna can see & hear it from the kitchen.  She’s really into cooking shows.  Fred and Luna also have date nights where they watch muggle movies / shows and have a buffet of snacks on the coffee table.

Fred can’t dance, but that doesn’t stop him from dancing, he doesn’t care how he looks when doing it, and Luna doesn’t mind dancing, she actually enjoys it when she’s doing silly dances with good friends and family.  She does know how to do a basic waltz box step, but that’s about it.  All her other moves are random af, just like Fred’s, and she loves it when he randomly twirls / picks her up and twirls and dips her.

Fred has the ring for months before he proposes; he plans and plans and plans ( nice dates, beautiful dinners ), but each time, there’s something not quite right about it, and he waits.  He actually proposes under their tree at the Burrow, he is nervous and blurts out the question, and pulls out the ring seconds later.  Luna assumes that he is asking as a general question, like “ Will you marry me one day?, ” but as she goes to respond, she notices he’s moving to fetch something from his pocket, and its a RING.  Her expression literally goes from :) to :O to :D to jumping up and throwing her arms around him.  YES, she breathes, because he’s embracing her so tightly and she’s so happy she’s breathless.

Fred actually asked her father, Xenophilius, for his permission / blessing to marry Luna, and Xenophilius took his time saying yes, even though there was never a doubt in his mind about saying so.  Fred leaves sweating bullets but grinning like a fool.

Xenophilius does manage to keep it a secret from his bright & brilliant little moon, and when she and Fred come to tell him the news, he knows immediately why she is so happy, and he’s like MY BRILLIANT LITTLE MOON, I’M SO HAPPY, and Luna is confused because how does her dad know before she’s even said anything.  Fred confesses to talking to her dad about it first, and she’s so intrigued by the idea of that, because sure, Fred’s planned pranks before, but he planned all of this, he spent time planning things for her, and it’s such a serious thing to think about, and she’s just so happy that he took the time to think it through and that fact just makes it all the more better.  She loves him so much.

Luna and Fred would love to have a family together, they’d likely have three to four kids, with one set of twins.

I Read The Triple Frontier Early Draft Script

And I have several thoughts on it. @frannyzooey Told me to, so I’m going to go down the line of points I thought were interesting and notes on the characters. It’s all going to be below the cut so we don’t bother the people who don’t care.

It was clearly a very early draft, but I still think it’s interesting to see how the characters changed over time.

Important note: Everyone except for Benny and Tom is only referred to by their nicknames, no real names. So I keep that up to keep from getting confused. 

I do not link to the google doc with the script, but you can dm me if you want the link privately.

Warnings: Mentions of violence, suicide, and sex; mild gore; character death; racism

Story:

Pope during the drug raid learns from a teen in the gang where Lorea keeps his money

Redfly, Benny, and Cat are in North Carolina and keep turning down bs military mission

Pope shows up on Redfly’s stoop, stays with his family, and he tells him about the heist

Redfly seems to agree, but only because Pope is asking and not for the money

The “ You were shot 5 times for your country and can’t afford a new truck” scene is here bit for bit

They go meet Ironhead at one of his support group speeches to convince him to join. He begrudgingly agrees.

Cat and Redfly talk at the fight about the job and both reluctantly agree since the other will do it

Cut to South America running through surveillance, we learn that there are two gun towers, ground sensors, machine guns, and several guards

Pope’s informant is Lorea’s sugar baby(?), Yovanna, who gave him a pic of the money in the office a few weeks prior

The plan is to hide in one of the maid vans and make their way in and out with the money

Everyone is distrustful of his old intel, so they do their own surveillance 

Getting caught in rain on heist day, they wait in the jungle for the guard rotations to resume, almost catching hypothermia

The heist vibe is the same, but this time they find the money is not there instantly

Redfly and Cat try to call the mission, but Benny and Pope insist on getting the money

Benny gets shot(grazed?) in the face and wants to say fuck it, but Redfly reminds him it was his idea

Pope blackmails the guard in the video room and gets the tape before killing him

While Cat, Benny, and Redfly grab the money, Ironhead is shot badly and they have to tape his mouth to keep him quiet

This is when Redfly snaps and decides they go out blazing

Lorea’s guards are outside waiting for them, but the boys literally blow up the front of the house and make a run for the river behind the house with a raft waiting

Lorea’s personal guard shoots him

Kidnapping Yovanna from her apartment, they get her money, passport, and visa to her Redfly grills her and seriously debates killing her, but instructs her to get to Australia 

After essentially holding up the airstrip workers, they see the news of the break-in on TV and weigh 8 tons of money 

Cat argues it’s too much weight, but agrees it will probably be fine

During the flight, Ironhead dies from his wound

Helicopter crash is the same

Pope goes in solo to speak with the farmers and they actually almost kill him before Redfly shoots way too many of them

They get pack animals from the farmers, load up the money and Ironhead, and start climbing

At some point, Cat insists they bury Ironhead because taking a body with them is going to start causing way worse issues

They camp at the burial spot, Pope voices how he blames himself for the death

The trek up the mountain is the same, including dumping some of the money and memorizing the coordinates

Getting to a port town, Cat gets sick from exposure, so they rest a few days

The local gang leader figures out who they are and uses his gang of kids to confront them

They shoot their way out and grab with guns and the money backpack on the way to the car

Benny drives and they almost flip the truck

They literally ALL get shot, but still make it to the boat and get away

The boys all agree to donate all the money to charity, in honor of Ironhead, and almost literally head off to the sunset

Characters:

Redfly

All-American late 30′s white guy; genuiniely wants to be a good person, but seems too wrapped up in the Army life

He’s the main character and most of the story is his POV

He is still with Molly and the girls, and we actually get a nice scene with them in here

He legitimately snaps once Ironhead is shot and doesn’t come back until after they bury him

He seriously almost kills Yovanna and sounds like he regrets not doing so

Says the words to her “After you sucked him off? You were lying there, playing with him- And you asked ‘What’s your real name? Where are you from?’-What did he say?” and I disliked it

Yovanna tells him that Pope thought he was so honest and he hates knowing he is not that person anymore

Pope

Mid-30′s white guy; way more of an instigator and really manipulated his friends to join him 

They never give a reason why he wants to get rid of Lorea

His argument for committing a crime is that America was founded on crimes and it’s not different them the war crimes they committed under orders

Seems embarrassed about his relationship with Yovanna and it’s implied he actually told her his name, but he told her Redfly is the most honest guy he knows. 

Calls some indigenous South Americans “Indians” and says they “don’t even know what century it is”

When an informant runs late, he says it’s because they run on Latino Standard Time

He saved Ironhead’s life once in fire and that is how he convices him to come, so he blames himself solely for his death

He literally brought cigars with them for after the heist. They smoke them once they are in the boat

They made Pope the asshole we don’t like, which is understandable, but upsetting

Catfish

Laid-back mid-30′s white guy who now trains Benny and works as a Private Investigator

He still is the main joker and sarcasm, but they really make sure we remember how dark his past is

There is a scene played as a laugh where he gets annoyed waiting for a cheating couple to fuck, so he holds them at gunpoint, tells them to strip and kiss, take the picture, and then tells them he’s sorry, but they should just get a divorce. It comes off terrifying and gross.

He seems to really distrust Pope and is closest to Redfly

He barely speaks Spanish

The Special Forces Museum put up a statue of him, the only living operative to have one, and his wife tells him to retire then because there was no topping that

When they argue about the weight limit, Cat says “Oh, I’m sorry, I missed you going to flight school.” And I appreciate that line.

Benny

Early 30′s white fighter

He’s described as being all or nothing and prone to manic depressive behavior and “prone to pills”

Redfly thinks he’s too old to go pro in fighting and Benny is v offended

He’s the only one to cry over Ironhead’s death

He still uses his “fuck you” money for a fire

He seems to have the most med knowledge and is the one checking for hypothermia, gives the “reason” why Ironhead dies, helps nurse Cat when he’s sick

He’s mostly played for laughs and it’s sort of a waste

Ironhead

Grizzled, but generous 55 year old white vet

He is literally the father figure here and is called that often

He is not related to Benny, but he seems to have a very soft spot for him as the youngest

He somehow served under Redfly?

He gave up running and gunning to mediate and help newer retirees

In the support group, his speech details all of the horrible things that he’s seen and had happen to him, this is supposed to be the reason why the younger soldiers listen to him

One of the group admits to almost committing suicide the past night and Ironhead say he will not tell him not to do it, just that he will not do it tonight and they all recite not tonight, it’s actually touching to “see” them all taking heart in what he is saying

He only agrees to help Pope because Pope once saved his life in combat and he told him he owes him. This scene is described as a father sadden that he can’t get through to his son, but says yes to keep an eye on them

In the “what will you buy with your money” scene, he says he will donate it to charity. It’s quickly followed by Benny excitedly saying he wants a Ferrari and Ironhead affectionately looks at him and says, “That’s a nice car, Ben!” Which made my doubting heart melt...

He the entire time gives the boys reminders to preserve their humanity and is the one who tell Redfly it’s good he let Yovanna go

When he’s shot, they say that the wound was through, meaning that the bullet entered and exited. But, when he dies, Benny says the bullet must have shifted and nudged into his heart. And I’m really annoyed by that clear mistake....

I genuinely did like this version of the character, not more than OUR Will, but I liked him

Lorea

His intro to the movie is literally leading the police in a high-speed chase in his yellow Lambo

He brings a business partner to his mansion during the boys surveying his house and they see his personal guard shoot the partner and cut off his head so it fits in the trunk of the car

I had to learn that, so now so do you

He has a thing for exotic birds and has to bring in several shifts of maids to clean up after them

He comes off here as way more of a rich wimp

Yovanna

Lorea’s sugar baby/girlfriend who sleeps with Pope and gives him info

She used to be a beauty queen

The script says Redfly is her type and she says out-loud that she wants to watch Pope and Redfly fuck. 

She taught one of Lorea’s birds to say “Hello, Beautiful” and lets that bird get loose in the mansion so she can get the pic of the money for Pope

I genuinely liked her character, too

My Review

I prefer the actual plot and planning of the final movie. The plan and surveillance here slowly fell together smoothly, but ultimately made far less sense.

But, I think they felt like actual friends here. They interact with each other instead of around each other

But this version is racist and kind of gross, so I’d take kind of boring any day

4/10, please do not make me read again
