Might be late for this, but do you have any Connor headcanons? Childhood, Do you have any additional Connor headcanons? Childhood, his reaction to Jane's death and the ILITW crew splintering, what he thought of Abel and Lincoln (they were seniors when Connor was a freshman) pre ILW, what his future plans are if he survives ILW intact? Do you also have any headcanons about his favorite foods/TV shows/films/books/music/hobbies outside of what we've been told in the It Lives series?
Hi anon! I’d be happy to give you some headcanons for our resident Superman 🥰🥰
• Connor was a rambunctious child who liked to climb trees and track mud in the house. He always wanted to go on adventures, and he always wanted to bring all his friends with him. He’s always had a thing for cars, and when he was a teenager he would hang around the auto shop with some friends. Eventually his mom bought him a beat up near wreck of a 1965 Chevy Camaro, which Connor spent years rebuilding from scratch. He still drives that car today.
• Connor wasn’t in the know about what happened when Jane died. All he knew was that a little girl died, and their little friend group split into pieces. He was sad for Stacy, and tried to include her in a lot that year. He made it a point to hang out with her, watch out for her, and he went with her to Jane’s funeral. She held his hand the entire time.
• Connor didn’t really know Abel or Lincoln while he was a freshman, but he absolutely heard about the prank. He knew that the principle’s car got smashed, that they the got arrested, and that it was a really big deal to all the seniors. He also remembers that after that the gossip mill made it very clear that the two of them were not speaking to each other. Connor’s never been the type to let gossip decide his opinion of someone, but the stories definitely made an impression on him, and he remembered them when he met Abel again years later, and then Lincoln during the events of the game.
• As for future plans… (River Song voice) spoilers
• And now for some rapid fire favorites:
Food: He has a sweet tooth and really likes things with chocolate. His favorites are York Peppermint Patties, which he puts in the fridge to make them extra minty. But his favorite food is probably just a straight up burger, fries, and a chocolate shake. He’s very much a “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” kind of guy.
TV Shows: He likes Archer, Community, The Simpsons, and more recently Ted Lasso. He really likes a good comedy, especially since his life is usually so dark
Movies: He really likes The Fast & The Furious series. He insists it’s because of the cool cars, but he’s a sap and the family stuff always gets him.
Books: Connor’s not a big reader, but he does have some old favorites he goes back to, mostly stuff he read in high school that he was surprised to find he liked. He really likes Dracula, Slaughterhouse Five, The Outsiders, stuff like that. He’s also a big Percy Jackson fan, which came out when he was a kid and he always really liked.
Music: Connor is a big classic rock fan. Part of it is because he genuinely likes that kind of music, Queen, Aerosmith, The Cars, Foreigner, and 38 Special are some of his favorite bands, but he’s also a dork and loves the aesthetic of the guy who rides around town in his Camaro with his partner in the passenger seat blasting Aerosmith
Hobbies: He’s a mechanic, so his hobbies include metal working and classic cars. He really enjoys going to those classic car shows, and he’d love to rebuild another car from scratch one day.
And because I want to include it, here’s what Connor’s car looks like:
