VERY LONG shameless headcanon: rotc ian

so we know that ian joined rotc when he was in 7th/8th grade, but we also know he had a g.i. joe as a kid, and i get that’s not an uncommon toy but it made me decide that ian always wanted to be a soilder.

like, we know that monica was a military brat. her father served for his country, and so she must’ve known a lot about the military. we also know that she hated her father, and frank says that monica’s parents ruined her.

so lets say one day shortly after little debbie gallagher was born grandpa bill (as he insists on being called) goes into the gallagher house, demanding to see his four grandchildren. he’s a very cruel man who judges them for their poverty, but as he starts to ramble on about his experiences in the marines, however, ian is extremely interested unlike the rest of them. he can tell.

ian asks him questions and he answers, and they’re all surpised by the change of tone in grandpa bill’s voice. he sounds much more loving and sweet when talking to ian, monica grumbles something about how he never talked to me like that when i was ian’s age.

grandpa bill leaves the house, complaining about how disgusting it is, and shows up only one more time (the only time after being his daughter’s funeral in twenty years or so) to give ian a present, a g.i. joe.

the gallagher’s didn’t get the luxury of toys, the only other toy that ian had was a teddy bear that he got from the hospital when he was born, which was now missing an eye, some stuffing, and was soaked in piss and sweat. so when ian got this g.i. joe he was so excited and would not let go of it. he kept it in his arms for an entire day, once, while eating breakfast, at school, on the bus, at dinner, in the bath, then to bed. it was his. so when he lost it on the train one day, he started sobbing so hard he was hyperventilating. frank called him a drama queen and monica was too high on coke or whatever she had taken to care, so they refused to go and find it, frank yelled at him for losing it in the first place, saying it was irresponsible. lip ended up somehow getting it back for ian, which made ian love his brother so much more. this was the day ian realized that lip was more paternal than frank was.

he stopped playing with the g.i. joe in third grade, and gave it to carl. when he found it years later it was all melted and gross. in fourth grade, he started playing football and basketball to get stronger for the army. his parents never went to any of his games, but kev and v did. kev was the one who got him onto the teams anyways (he coached basketball and knew the football coach).

in seventh grade, he was able to do jrotc, which he did. and he was great at it. so great that he decided that he was definitely going to not only be a soilder, but an officer. and he would also go to military school, preferably a really good one, like west point. that was around the time when he started doing 200 push-ups before school.

in tenth grade he used is rotc skills to impress linda. the summer before eleventh grade he began studying like crazy for west point, but found out that lip got in. in eleventh grade, he built that “fuckin’ obstacle training course thing” as mickey called it on the roof of an abandoned building. only mickey knew about it. he dropped out before twelfth grade, and didn’t go to west point. he instead joined the military, attempted to steal a helicopter, injured his hand, ran away, and became a stripper. a year later he was in military prison.

when carl gets into military school and starts waking up early and running with ian every morning, ian can’t help but feel a bit jealous because that was supposed to be him. but he pretends that he’s not and watches as his little brother follows in his footsteps- kind of. really the only way he actually follows in ian’s footsteps is by getting rejected from west point, which if carl actually got into, ian might have actually gone insane.

the end that’s a super long headcanon i didn’t even mean for it to be that long i should write a fic on this

If we died when we were 11 people would assume I was a shy nervous boy who was socially awkward but excelled in school, who was trying to get his family go to church more often. They would not know that the reason I wanted to go to church was because I thought religion would fix me and remove the "bad thoughts" of me wanting to be a girl. They would not know that I picked that middle school because I wanted to be like my big sister and follow in her footsteps, or how I tried on her school uniform that we both hate because I thought, at least I could be more like her. Unless my brother who caught me wearing her clothes spoke up. But why would he.. wouldnt it be "shameful"... *"Inappropriate"

If I died when I was 15 people would assume I was a strong capable leader, that I might one day join the military. That I enjoyed having my hair cut short, and being in jrotc, and working out in weight lifting classes. Heck some people might think I was a flirt boy who went from one partner to the next... only a hand full will know that a good chunk of my partners broke up with be because we werent manly, they didnt feel like they were dating a boy. They wouldn't know that I joined jrotc because if religion failed to fix me maybe this military related thing would.

If I died when I was 17... people *might* know that I was bigender maybe even that we mainly saw ourselves as a woman if my friends had the confidence to speak the truth I had shared with them, and felt it was ok to tell my parents and family the truth... but it was in 2012 and if my family didnt listen to me...who knows if they would have listened to my friends. They may never know about the dreams I had about a sparkling blue prom dress that glittered like the night sky filled with stars, the way I decided that since it was too late to have that dress... too late to be a girl for a prom the least I could do is be a good date to a friend. They won't know how miserable I was because I smiled to make sure my friends had a good time. How suffocated I felt in a tux.. they might lay my corpse in a simillar suit forever suffocated by the masculinity we were expected to conform to...

If I died at 11, 15, 17.... If I had the courage and the time, I would use the last breaths to speak my truth. But I might not have the courage.... my death might be too swift and all that would be left.. is to hope there is an afterlife.. where our soul was how we felt and not how we looked... and that I could look down and maybe people could see the signs that I hid out of shame, that the few people I knew could say something out of love.

There are many people we may never know the truth about. But if we can't even talk about the posibility... then what hope do they have of being seen. You may say its speculation, its insensitive it's not proper to assume, but people are only put in this position because people already assume that belonging to a binary cisgender concept of assigned gender is the default, is the norm. You assume people wont want to be thought about, people wont want others to find the truth they were too scared to share. There is no moral high ground either way. We can not know, and people mourn in different ways. I'm not saying look into every possible death and try to find the truth of every single soul. But if someone notices signs, is it truly awful to wonder?

[systemofwhispers]

the sweetest @katiedid-3 tagged me in a 15 Questions for 15 Mutuals and i am the worst at tumblr-ing as of lately but i haven't been tagged in something like this in so long 🥺 so yes! here we go.

1) Are you named after anyone?  I'm named after two people actually, my maternal grandmother and my Dad. Just smushed together two names and that's me.

2) When was the last time you cried?  Not to bring us down immediately...but as of lately it's like every day lol

3) Do you have kids?  I do 🥰 I have my twin beanies

4) Do you use sarcasm a lot? I do, probably way too much for someone with 13-month twins lol. I used it so much when I was a teacher. I hate the rule/advice of not being sarcastic with students. 👎🏻

5) What sports do you play/have you played?  I stopped playing sports in high school because I did JROTC, but I did soccer forever and like @katiedid-3 I did basketball because I am tall (I've been this height since I was in fifth grade) and was pressured into it for literal years.

6) What’s the first thing you notice about people?  I'm very much a vibes person? Maybe it's the Pisces in me (i hate myself for saying that, but it's true...), but it's less about looks and more about "How do I feel in this person's presence?" within the first ten seconds.

7) What’s your eye color?  Brown 💩

8) Scary movies or happy endings?  I do not fuck with scary movies, I'm such a scaredy cat. Happy endings all the way.

11) What are your hobbies?  Right now I barely have time to breathe it feels like, but obviously writing. I read a fuckton too.

12) Do you have any pets?  Mhmm, two cats!

13) How tall are you?  5'8"

14) Favorite subject(s) in school?  I really enjoyed school and all my subjects. I'm the worst at Math, but there was something so satisfying about understanding it that is standing out to me now. I loved English class a lot though.

15) Dream job?  I dream every day of being able to write for a living. 🥺

If you're interested, feel free to fill this out too! I don't feel like calling people out, but I'd love to learn about some mutuals. 💖

Cheap Adventures & Elusive Prey

Picture it, 2016, a couple of poor young people move in together just starting out our independent, grown up (or so we thought) lives and a fish we didn't know existed.

We were both working blue collar jobs and not making a lot, but also putting a teenager (my cousin) through school, including JROTC and FFA . Money was tight and we didn't have a lot extra to go out and do your typical fun things like movies or eating out. What we ended up doing in most of our free time was riding dirt roads on our way home from work. Ths evolved into stopping at every creek along the way to see if we could catch fish. You wouldn't catch us without fishing poles in the vehicle that summer!

And there we discovered one of our favorite things to do. Even now, eight years later and a lot better off you can still catch us creek fishing multiple times a year, especially in the summer. Fishing was fairly cheap for us to do and it was always so much fun because you never knew what you would catch. And finding new fishing spots was a challenge when we had the extra gas to ride around.

Several weeks into our fishing adventures I was talking to a coworker about some of our fishing experiences and he asked me if we had caught any Redfin Pike. I had never heard of such a fish so I was intrigued and asked him what it was and why they were special. According to him, Redfin Pike is a special kind of creek fish that is really hard to catch. They are elusive and don't bite just anything that drops into the water, they are also big fighters when you hook them despite being a small fish. They only get about 12 inches long. According to my coworker and other old timers I have spoken to apparently they are quite good to eat, talked about as a "chicken of the creek". He talked about them like they were almost a mythical fish. A unicorn, so to speak.

Part of what makes them hard to find is that they only thrive in running water, so many of the streams and creeks they used to flourish in have dried up or have been redirected to the point that they don't flow enough to be a suitable habitat for Redfin Pike.

My coworker also told me that they were bloodthirsty fish and that to catch them you would want to use a lure or other bait with red on it to resemble an open wound.

That was all it took, we were on a mission. A mission to find a unicorn. I mean, a Redfin Pike.

Armed with our favorite fishing gear and some new things we splurged on for this special fish, we headed out to some of our favorite spots. It took us a few weeks but eventually we did find a good fishing hole that was, if not teeming, then definitly well stocked with Redfn Pike.

What surprised us though is that we did not catch the first ones off anything red as we had been hearing that Pike loved. We caught the first ones on a blue crappie grub while we were trying to catch Warmouths at a creek that ran through a friend's property. We were so surprised that it took us a minute to realize that we had finally caught a Redfin Pike!

They were everything we had been told and so much fun to catch. We went to that same fishing spot several days later and were able to catch a few more on a lure that is a favorite of my husband's, he has caught everything from Largemouth Bass to tiny Breem, and yes, Redfin Pike.

Picture below of my husband, so proud of catching a fish we had spent weeks trying to find, and our biggest catch to date.

To this day we haven't eaten one of these so I can't speak for the taste but they are every bit as fun to catch as they are reputed to be. If you ever have the opportunity to fish in a creek in Georgia, be sure to keep an eye out for our elusive friend the Redfin Pike.

[ksfnmoments]

okay SO i’ve been working on this list for a couple days since i’m finally revisiting my high school au thing. I have four different friend groups (GHOST, Drifters, E.G.O, SHADOW/A.L.T.E.R) and I’m gonna do different posts because I’m still touching up on mainly the last two. Here we will start, of course, with the GHOST Squad:

Extra-Curriculars:

Student Council: Student Body Co-President

Prefers to stay in the background but always willing to help out

Juniors (11)

Martina Ortiz (TNTina)

Height: 5’2

Grades: C-/C

Favorite Class(es): Physics

Extra-Curriculars:

Wrestling

Choir: Alto

Extra:

Really smart (especially math and science) but could care less about school so she slacks off

Sleep deprived half the time (totally not because she plays video games all night, yeah)

Understands Spanish but has trouble speaking it coherently; she will, however, teach you all the swears and insults

Maya Styles (little on the nose i know)

Height: 5’6

Grades: B+/A-

Favorite Class(es): World History

Extra-Curriculars:

Orchestra: Cello

JROTC

Extra:

Tea>Coffee, drinks it every day before school

Ultimate peacemaker and preventer of death; will not let anyone walk away unless it’s on good terms, and constantly has to make sure these mfs (*cough* Tina) don’t die

Wardrobe is definitely larger than yours but she prefers the camo and earthy colors (mostly green and beige)

Maxwell O’Malley (Meowscles)

Height: 6’0

Extra-Curriculars:

Freshmen (9)

Skye Newman-Cortez

Height: 5’3

Grades: B/B+

Favorite Class(es): Art, Photography

Extra-Curriculars:

Esports (probably Super Smash Bros.)

Volleyball

Yearbook Photographer (Kinda)

She’s not officially on yearbook staff but she’ll slide Ocean (who is) pictures she takes at events on her camera and some will end up in the yearbook.

Extra:

Lives off of hot chocolate, all year round

Tries to be friends with everyone (40% success rate)

Never any space in her backpack because where there’s no school-related supplies, there’s snacks or some sort of arts supplies

General Group Headcanons

(Some are repeated from the previous post)

Tina joined choir freshman year but was very self-conscious about it, so she forced Meowscles (his human name is Maxwell because it starts with M and i’m uncreative) to join with her. Turns out he’s a really good bass and he LOVES being on the stage, so he forces her into all these duets to get her to loosen up.

Skye and Tina practically live at each other’s houses. They’re always at one or the other after school and have sleepovers every weekend, where they watch movies and play video games all day/night. To each other, Tina is the cool junior and Skye is the cool freshman

Despite being one of the peacemakers/death preventers (the other being Brutus), Tina and Max have gotten very good at convincing Maya to join them on their not-so-very-safe shenanigans

Brutus, Max, and Maya have specific days they go to the gym together after school.

Brutus is always the one to drive, mostly because he’s the safest and quietest option. Maya doesn’t drive, Tina would be 20mph above the speed limit, Max turns the ride into a karaoke session (where he sings off-key on purpose), and Midas simply likes being a rider.

[youngbuck1369]

I made a new friend in JROTC, found out their Jewish and when I told him I was too they looked at me dead in the eyes with a devilish smile saying, "WE HAVE A NEW TRIBE MEMBER!!!"

I love that MF to pieces fr.

[friedchickenluver]

Zuko is definitely Jock adjacent like he’s on the team but he’s nobody’s star player or anything.

He’s definitely the kid who’s semi smart but also never in class because he realized early on that as long as he maintains a B average they won’t call home about his absences but he does have to worry about Azula snitching.

He also got his senior locker decorated by a cheerleader but he was so awkward about the whole thing.

I have more but I’m at work and the cell signal is trash -🧚🏽‍♀️

it’s the senioritis kicking in man , bro was over being the good grades , perfect attendance kid bc of his parents . (😂)

but seriously i think im the were the few ppl who think he has some type of social life at school , everyone says he’d be to himself and i feel like that’s him in his earlier high school years . now dont get me wrong he’s not the loudest on the room , his behavior is literally the best because he was taught properly at home , but he literally makes friends with a. lot of people by accident because of his charm and everyone loves his personality . he’s effortlessly funny when he’s flaming on someone or just being sarcastic and a lot of people love that , including his actual close friend circle .

him and sokka are a dangerous duo bc when their entire group is in the same room or table , they are so chaotic LMAO . the both of them play sports and obviously pull a lot of girls , i also feel like zuko would do jrotc bc of his family being mostly military based , including azula , BUT TELL ME HE WOULDNT LOOK GOOD IN THE OUTFITS THOOO . zuko is still the awkward babe we love he’s just grown and I feel like he’d loosen up a lot more than when he was in freshman year .

The JROTC experience…. Kinda part two

Like I said, after I went to go talk to him he gave me a paper and told me to go see my guidance counselor to get my classes switched easy as that I don’t even know why I was scared in the first place nerves.. they get the best of me. After my 11th grade year ended it was summer break. I kind of just chilled. There is nothing to do but summer break seemed way shorter than how it was in elementary school. I’ll tell you that  Closer to the end of summer break there was a Boot Camp program for JROTC I really wanted a taste of that JROTC life so I decided to go. my brother was also a part of the JROTC unit because he signed up but he didn’t want to go to Boot Camp  I felt like Boot Camp was a place to make good first impressions I was so afraid, but I went anyway because I’m chill like that.

I arrive at Boot Camp. It’s only a few hours so I’m not really worried and it was only for five days like come on my summer break was already boring enough. Why not go to this little Boot Camp But anyway, as I was saying I arrive at Boot Camp. I show up late, so not a good look. I’m walking to his class and I guess I’m not walking fast enough because he tells me to hurry up. I’m like damn OK I just got here But I love your drive !  I took a look inside his class room there’s only about seven people there and all of them are guys ninth grader guys I’m the only female and 12 grader there I feel so out of place I try not to think about it though  but I am an Overthinker, so I start thinking this isn’t a program for me like where are the girls there are some S-2s ?? which means a higher ranking position in the jrotc program Meaning they’ve been in there for a year. They were cool but slightly judging all of us which is fine I don’t really care. The first thing we did was get to know him a little bit more which was cool and then after that it was a hands-on activity. We split up into groups and we started learning military drill. And god did I embarrass myself that day. I had no idea what was going on. I didn’t even know what military drill was. I never heard of right face a left face or an about face in my life  I was stumbling over my own feet almost falling  and getting extra help because I didn’t know what the hell was going on I thought you guys just carried rifles around what the hell is this !! 

I felt extremely stupid. I was so nervous my hands are sweaty. I did not know what to say or do when people asked me my name I had to pause and think about it. After that, we got a custom to the rifles, which I thought they were made out of wood. (Some dumbass told me that) I feel stupid after grabbing one, and finding it was way heavier than I expected  after that, he took us back outside to learn rifle drills. Now this was even harder than unarmed drill he asked us have we ever held a rifle before and I was literally the only one who didn’t raise their hand   well time to look stupid again we started to learn right shoulder arm and left shoulder arm and I was struggling heavily. I was so nervous. My hands were slipping off the rifle, and I couldn’t tell my left form my right you ever get so nervous you can’t tell your left on your right ? Yeah me all the time I swear I’m not dumb !!! After that we relaxed inside for a bit. I’m glad that’s over. He started showing us videos and then started teaching us about ranks and collar devices. I had no idea what he was talking about. I didn’t know anything about the military before I got here I didn’t even know they had different branches. I just thought it was Army LOL crazy right what have I gotten myself into? He give us these manuals and booklets full of information about the Navy ranks and color devices. I felt like my head was about to explode but I decided to come the next day because I like this I really like that challenge factor sooo fun looking stupid finally some thing I’m not good at (joking) he shows us this motivational video about someone in the military, not giving up yada yada yada do you know motivational shit love it put it on a t shirt!  i’m kind of liking this when I get home that’s all I talk about and my mother doesn’t like the military that much she tries to hide it, but I know her hate is real  or maybe she just doesn’t care about my interests that’s a whole Nother situation to get into though.  I start considering if I lose weight and have a good mindset, I could probably join the military. Just something to think about….

But boot camp was soon over I didn’t miss it but I wanted to experience the real class so when summer camp was over I was excited to go back to school but I couldn’t make it the first day of school sadly but I went the next day 3rd period JROTC letssss gooo I was excited also nervous but I had to contain myself I sat in the back of us class I was trying to avoid as much attention as possible but it probably made me stick out more dumbass logic on my part ! But yeah it was pretty chill we just learned how to rise the flag and stuff (I still don’t know how to do it properly yikes) we also learned drill again I was still horrible a bit better though so yay…

Part three on da way besties!!!

Sophomore year of high school, I had a senior JROTC classmate everyone called Giggles. She just. Was always laughing. We all loved her so much. It took me so long her learn her actual name, and I still got confused any time the instructors said it. It was great.
