Random Shane (Backstory) Headcanons Pt. 3
His dad left when he was young, and his mom was distant at best
He left home at a young age (18, if not before) and lived with Jas' father and his family for a time before they dormed/lived together.
He attended university but dropped out before he graduated, and he's very insecure about it.
He would babysit Jas so her parents could go out on dates and get out of the house.
Marnie always felt bad for him when he was a kid, so she would take him for a few weeks over the summer. They would go camping in the forest, roast marshmallows, and play at the beach. She would also take every opportunity to teach him all sorts of useful life skills, especially where ranch life was concerned. They grew apart in his teen years but became closer again in his 20s.
Both of his parents went on to have separate families, which he is not included in. He has half brothers and sisters but has never met any of them.
He resorted to stealing in his teen years because he couldn't afford the things that he wanted or needed. He likely has quite the record, though most of it would be expunged since he was arrested as a minor.
Before his circumstances changed and he was forced to move to Pelican Town, he lived in Zuzu doing a bunch of odd jobs.
Has only had one long-term partner when the farmer comes into his life, and even that wasn't for very long.
He only smokes weed, but as a teen and early 20-something he tried a lot of different drugs, though it was never anything too hard.
He's always loved birds, but his love for chickens came at a difficult time in his life. He had just lost his best friends and moved back to Marnie's ranch, and he took solace in spending time with them because they didn't give him pitying looks or force him to talk like the people in his life. Of course, he starts divulging all of his secrets to them anyway, and now every time he's having a bad he can be found hanging out with and talking to his chickens.
Played as a wingback in college soccer and scared the shit out of the other players.
Can be extremely intimidating and throw a punch if he needs to, though he prefers not to.
His voice carries, and he can usually be heard above everyone else in a room full of people.
Was definitely in OSS/ISS and summer school a lot as a kid
