Got anymore Scougie head canons? Also, how did you start shipping that? I'm interested 👀
ok so first off i started shipping them because i was writing a oneshot fic about the version of dougie that exists in my head/in the au of my sp fics. this version of dougie is undiagnosed autistic, grows up in an evangelical cult, experiences abuse because of that cult, and is able to find the strength to leave after properly meeting father maxi and beginning to spend time at the south park church. then i had in my mind that as an adult in this universe, he'd probably work there. and then i remembered scott was a priest at the south park church in post covid and i thought... now this is an interesting idea... and i just ran with it. it might sound kinda strange when you first think about it but its really not, the age gap isnt even that big, dougie is a 2nd grader and scott is a 4th grader, plus i only *really* ship them in this specific au i have lol.
that being said basically all of my headcanons are with the au in mind, such as:
-scott wanted a real relationship with dougie, dougie has internalized homophobia and hates the idea of actually liking men/being gay, so he doesn't reciprocate scott's feelings
-scott has known he was gay for most of his life and had crushes on butters and clyde, his feelings for sophie were strictly just because she also had diabetes, not because he was ever really in love with her
-they both become priests to cope with their trauma, dougie to cope with the religious trauma from the cult he grew up in, scott to cope with the death of his father
-their theme song is whitecaps by watsky btw dont even ask why or how, it just is.
-ummmm... this? which is why the relationship ends up not working out, sadly. i was definitely subconciously inspired by pinky and pepper forever when writing my fic. not the bdsm part though, just the "time-consuming drawn out rituals of self harm" of it all.
