when beginning any dramaturgial process (development or production) i always sit and read a play three times, taking notes on each read-through. i pay particular attention to what questions come up on each round, specifically if they are ones that can be answered by the playwright (sometimes this is impossible, say, if the playwright is dead/can't be easily contacted), if they can be answered by the director/in production, or if they are questions that are best left open for interpretation/discussion. if there are questions that keep coming up on each of the reads, i find that these are the most productive ones to bring up in conversation with the other collaborators

do you have any favorite murphamy on the ring headcanons?

GAH HI

OKAY OKAY SO HI MY DAYS EH PRETTY OKAY? NOTHING TOO BAD

HRU??

OKAY OKAY NOW HEADCANONS EEEE

tbh these mostly avoid canon.

Bolded ones are my favorites out of these but I love them all

Murphy & Bellamy having a room with a big window because murphy likes staring out of it.

Bellamy giving Murphy piggy back rides around The Ring.

Bellamy always listening to Murphy's opinions and ideas no matter how stupid murphy thinks they are

Bellamy trying to rig up things for Murphy whenever murphy has a problem with something. Like if Murphy's board he'll tape a string to the ceiling idk Murphy's enough of a cat for that

Murphy learning how to braid hair from someone and then braiding Bellamy's longer hair

Bellamy making jokes because now they've switched hair styles kind of and Murphy laughs and is like my hair was never that long?? And bellamys like that's not the point okay the point is your hair used to be longer than mine and now mine is longer than yours it's funny laugh

Murphy sometimes feeling really stuck up there and bellamy tries to make him feel as comforted as possible while also giving him as much space as he needs so he doesn't feel trapped.

Sometimes the just... Stay in their room and cuddle. Days on the ring can get boring an uneventful so why not cuddle?

Murphy's coma hit Bellamy hard. He blames himself even though everyone tell him there's nothing he could have done. Bellamy sits at his bed side the whole time. He sleeps there, eats there, etc. He doesn't leave his side often at all unless it's necessary

Murphy helping Bellamy mourn Clarke (because even if someone doesn't hip them I think bellamy DID mourn clarke even if just in a friend way or whatever) and helping him deal with not knowing how octavia is doing.

Hi! I believe you're talking about this set :)

I'll level with ya I don't know anything about Jerma but from what I saw yeah, he's like actually inside a physical house

AAAAHHHHHHH SJSHSJSNDKEIHD OH MY GOSH YEAH

This is so cute I can't do this

EEEE PROBABLY S1 ??

season 1 murphys hair is just... good. iDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT ITS JUST

And then s6's hair is really good too?? Like it just has shaved side look which is EEEE

AH IDK BUT I LOVE THINKING ABOUT DIFFERENT IDEAS LIKE. AH.

one idea is them just cuddling on the couch watching TV and eating pizza and just being comfortable with one another.

There's the whole idea that I adore where they make a small blanket fort and watch movies and shows and YouTube and stuff under it with fairy lights all around and they just cuddle together and drink wine and are just happy and comfortable

Normal date nights though would probably be just them going out for dinner. Either at a fancy restaurant or even to a small diner. Just so they can eat and have their fun out with eachother.

Bellamy would take him to the diner and they'd eat their unhealthy but delicious food and drink soda out of the glasses and they'd just joke around by clinking the glasses together and they'd let their legs touch under the table and they'd tip the waiter.

(that was a very long run on sentence shhh)

Then they'd maybe go to a park or something and sit under the stars for a bit just to look and they'd cuddle and watch their breath in the air and murohy would pretend it's smoke and Bellamy would laugh at him and flick his nose. They'd maybe even lay on the food of their car.

After that they'd go home, satisfied with their day, and they'd get into their sleeping clothes and cuddle and just love one another. It's be a good date night.

Murphy would be so satisfied with their date but Bellamy would have some doubts. He'd worry that the diner wants good enough, that Murphy wasn't happy with the date, but Murphy kisses him to shut him up and just promises that going to the diner with him is one of the most fun things he's ever done in his life.

Oh gosh!

Most of these will admittedly be about Murphy and I'm sorry if you've seen some of them before lol

Murphy's ticklish. Like very. Someone could touch his side slightly and he'll be a giggling mess. His s/o will tickle him quite a bit just to hear him giggle.

Murphy loves his hair played with and petted so that he can feel loved. It just feels so comforting and soft and Murphy loves it so much. His s/o will cuddle pet his hair until he sleeps, especially when he's in pain or sick.

Murphy collects animals he finds in the woods, brings them 'home', and takes care of them. cats, dogs, foxes, birds, whatever it is if it is hurt it shall be helped. Usually the animal gets attached to him and then doesn't want to leave, which is a win win for everyone.

Murphy likes to do small thing for his s/o like get them water and help them by holding the door and stuff

Bellamy learned how to do Octavia's hair when they were younger.

Murphy learns how to do hair from Echo and Harper on the ring

What I'm getting at is bellamy and murphy hair stylists so true

Please uhmmm I must think

Madi makes murphy a flower crown

And he wears it as long as possible

Honestly she makes one for bellamy too and he declines nicely and murphy gives him the BIGGEST death glare and bellamy is actually terrified of murphy in that moment and so he decides 'yknow what never mind ill take one'

have i mentioned ticklish murphy

Sorry I run out of ideas quickly

Harper gives the softest and most reassuring hugs and she can tell when all of her friends are sad and always gives out hugs.

one day she notices that murphy gets sad a LOT so she makes it a goal to give him a hug every single day and murphy almost cries every morning when he wakes up and he's sleepy and she gives him one

murphy getting hurt and everyone swarming to him and someone who isn't close to him is confused because they're like "but he's a jerk why do you care??" and they're just all like "its murphy." as if that answers anything (idk if that's fluff but it is love filled so)

murphy liking his hair petted did I mention that I might have already oh well

bellamy bringing murphy food oh wait that's canon

monty giving murphy a little side hug everytime murphy does a good job at helping him with something

IM SORRY ALL OF THESE ARE ABOUT MURPHY IM.

Miller teasing murphy about whoever his current partner is

Niylah likes to try new foods while others are a bit scared to so she has become Murphy's taste tester

(he calls her his guinea pig once and niylah did not understand that reference)

murphy telling clarke about all of bellamys embarrassing actions on the ring

bellamy, in retaliation, telling madi about all of the embarrassing things murphy did on the ring

raven likes to randomly tickle murphys sides and he will give her this utter look of betrayal after laughing very loudly

murphy trying to help raven with things but he can't comprehend half of it so he ends up being her tool holder or her tall person to grab things

oh no I'm still adding even though I was going to post this like a minute ago uhm

CLUMSY MURPHY.
