i have actually been thinking about this too in relation to things, like. it might start as a sparkleharper route, but through things one way or another it either leads to a breakup or these two never become a thing, which makes mads either leave the normal boots club or refusing to join when asked, depending on where we were at with things when they fall out

which kind of. gives her a reputation of sorts i guess? i mean this IS the big popular club in school and shes declining their invitation to join/is leaving them, and she stands out in the school crowd anyways like a sore thumb with her hair and everything so it gives her some attention for sure. ..which in turn attracts nates attention tbh cause theres? rumors?? about someone else than him flying around for a change??? and he knows this girl and they share a class and are probably in somewhat terms at this point anyways so. yep

i gotchu pal no worries <3

➭ after the first couple of more difficult skyte calls from home, they have a pact with mads that whenever theres a call from home to either of them, they are going to be there for each others background support. not on camera, but just in the room to listen in on the conversation and to make sure everythings going fine, or if its not, they are there for each other as immediate support if needed

➭ pixiefeathers; things like this often end up with either of two things; 1. they build up a blanket fort that covers literally the entire dorm room (kit has enough blankets for that, fight me), fill it with pillows and plushies and fairylights everywhere, and just cuddle up in a pile in the middle of the room under some blankets and on the bean bag chair, and either play some comfort games or binge bisney movies, or 2. they lock themselves into the arts center, find the biggest canvas/roll of paper they can, spread it on the floor and just. smash paint on it. if its good enough weather, they might do this outside, but in the arts center they are surely able to have some peace for all this and no outsiders looking at them taking their frustrations out on literally slamming paint on the canvas/paper covered floor tho

➭ pinkfeathers; hana understands home troubles really well, so she makes sure that kit is as comfortable as they possibly can; she sits them down to watch or listen something relaxing, lights up some of their favorite scented candles, braids their hair or gives them a relaxing scalp massage while just chatting the time away. talking about school work. about her friends, her roommate, the normal boots club. telling them about the stray kittens and what hana has seen them doing recently. stuff about the hidden block club. just anything to take kits mind off of things

➭ yungfeathers; luke is like. really good at comfort things tho? he’ll offer hugs and cuddles as much as needed, and if physical contact feels gross at the time, he’ll talk with you about anything you want and sings to you and makes you watch fun cat videos he found online. maybe luke doesnt always know how to say the right things, but honestly? kit doesnt really mind it, cause they know luke is trying the best he can and its a really nice distraction either way. plus he often tries to egg kit to sing along with him, which always ends up in a competition which one can get louder than the other, which is a really good way to spend the pent up negative energy and luke always. lets them win tbh lol

➭ spacefeathers; jeff goes full on dad mode, tbh. if kit wants to talk about it, he’ll def offer a shoulder to cry on, but if not, hes absolutely prepared for some comfort time tbh; video games, bunch of treats, relaxing atmosphere, he’ll drown them in his hidden block jacket for maximum comfort. he’ll hold them close through all of this, give them positive and encouraging words throughout all them vidjy gams, and just makes sure that kit has the best time they can to relax and be comfortable ~

➭ caddifeathers; so caddy is. immediately on the fucking warpath lets be clear on that. hes constantly asking whos ass he needs to slaughter, like. not up to the point where hes literally demanding details out of kit or anything, he doesnt do that - honestly he doesnt even need to know the reason, just who made them that upset, and hes ready to throw down. which overtime becomes a really comforting thing to kit tbh, even if caddy is serious about it all, but its like. so nice to know that they have a friend like him who is so ready to kick some ass just to see them smile again tho

➭ didyouknowfeathers; shane is immediately defensive over kit tho. like he usually doesnt show it that he cares, but someone as close as family or friends makes them upset? shane is ready to kick some ass tbh. hes going to insist on sitting in on the next skyte call or needs to know when kit is visiting home so he can be there for emotional and physical support, and the give up a few selected words to whoever tries to make this literal ray of sunshine of his this upset. and he also drags kit into the dorm kitchen, stating that they are going to get those feelings out by baking. plus it brings out friends considering the big batches kit always makes, and friends make everything better, ya know? he might seem a bit disgruntled about all of this throughout the things, but at the same time its really easy to see that no matter how passive he tries to be about all of it, that shane also actually really, really cares

➭ completionkit; jirards first instinct is to insist that kit talks to someone about any troubles they are having. he offers to listen and help, but if not, he can suggest other friends or school counselor to talk to, or anything really. and if kit doesnt want to talk with him, hes fine with it - jirard will find other ways to make sure kit feels better tho. little sneak peak on b3 stuff? you got it! he’ll introduce them to his newest ibk’s? you got it! watch him complete a video game? gotcha! some nice chill times just chatting away while playing chill games with him and alex? absolutely! just something super nice and chill, hanging out with friends and just taking your mind off of things, thats what jirard does the best tbh ~

➭ bffnate; nate is immediate cuddles and hugs tbh. grabs your hand and leads you to somewhere nice and calm to ask if you wanna talk about it. if not, then hes fully prepared to break out in a song, asking them to join in. just sing your lungs out. also he would. most definitely encourage throwing things and stuff tbh. which is bad but imagine like. a bowl full of wet balls of paper towels. and using as much force as you wanna to throw them against a wall or something. thats the type of stuff he would absolutely encourage if you need to take your energy out on something. and if calm things are needed, nate will drag kit to his dorm, bury them under a pile of shark plushies, and either cuddle with them while softly singing to them, or playing guitar and singing, depending on which one they are feeling for at the moment

i could imagine shane would find them intriguing in the same manner he finds hana intriguing? like welp theres this nerd with their pink hair and a very loud attitude and i dont know how to deal with all of this, especially since they even more so than hana remind him of emily and stuff in england cause they speak the language and have an accent and everythings just kinda weird?

..but also they are a friend/roommate of one of my friends gf’s so i guess i just. kinda have to try to get along with them cause things will probably be too awkward otherwise ugh what a pain

somewhere down the line theres bonding over their home country and missing stuff in there. for a special day of some kind they end up making cookies together (more like kit wanted to surprise mads i guess by making her cookies and went over to bluebell so they wouldnt let anyone in primrose know they were doing this and shane was baking in the kitchen uuuuuh what??) and just bond. a little by little

My headcanon goes that it’s either Pasta (the coolest cat on the block tbh) or Noshi, the tiny accident prone little kitty? Those would probably be the quickest to trust without having treats tbh

either is very good tbh

Tbh it’s quite likely that the two of them will talk on thier own?? Especially if you give them enough time, space and the right circumstances. At the very least Kit would, especially if it’s the month of Sept or Nov. They just quietly ask him not to leave and drop hints about thier mom, just enough so he could ask more if he wanted to know??

(im gonna steal that reply for this too cause it fits and its perfect for this so yyyyeah ~)

its a night in november i’d imagine. mads is elsewhere dealing with her own stress of the month (being a dedicated writer has its downs), so kit is alone. they arent feeling too well when shane pops around. maybe kit asked them for quiet company or something, but shane is there

and eventually kit just. starts dropping little hints. saying little things here and there about why they hate november, but they are also kinda glad to be here at this time instead of being at home and whatnot. and shane bites. “it cant be that bad”

oh shane if you would only know

so kit is just. kind of struggling with words. like they dont want to say it straight out what happened, so its kind of like framed as “november is really bad because family stuff” or something similar, just something that kinda gives the idea but not giving it out straight away

“oh. sorry”

and after a moment of silence, that you can really easily read into that there is still so many things left to say, he finally asks. he feels like there is something he should know. and kit makes the whole room feel like they want to tell him something

snarky angst children mmmmm yes indeed

➭  they are probably a duo that fights the most out of anyone tbh. both of them can be so strong willed, that they just get into heated arguments about pretty much anything, they disagree a lot about things, and they just. yell a lot. or well kit yells and shane is a cold nerd cause you know how he is

➭  but also? if they have a common goal or something they both hate? they will join their forces to absolutely destroy a thing. nothing stands a chance if kit and shane decide to do something together, like my god imagine being in a debate against these two. you wouldnt survive for a second against them together

➭  one thing they really bond over together tho, is homesickness. shane especially doesnt show it out very much, but if someone, kit is a person who can easily detect it from him, fully knowing how it feels to miss home across the world so much. so during those kind of days, more often than usually they talk with each other in english, reminisce about stuff from england in general, childhood things, and so forth

➭  neither of them are a big fan of talking about why they left england. tbh neither of them feels like its a thing that they need to talk about it, cause both know they have bad memories that they dont want to share, so they dont force the other one to share. for angst reasons tho, other people around them seem to think that they need to talk to clear things up, so overwhelming emotions about past bullshit happen
