I'm so mature, I'm so mature
I'm so mature I got me a therapist to tell me there's other men
Wrote out my ideas for the Ed Boys when they're adults in their 20s so here's my ideas for the Kankers
•Lee is 24 in this, Marie is 23, May is 22.
•Lee is 5'10 1/2. Without heels at least. She's 6'1 with them, and her puffy hair makes her look way taller on top of it. She's really proud of it though, and loves towering over almost everybody (especially Eddy). Marie is 5'3 and the shortest out of the Kankers. May was already slightly taller than her during the events of the show, but she never noticed it til they were around 16 and she HATES that May's taller. May's 5'6 so she's around average height.
•They were all truant in high school. Lee dropped out, Marie was expelled for fights, and May barely passed but graduated. They're all really smart though, and were capable of graduating but just didn't try.
•All of them are car girls so they've definitely stolen a luxury car before. They crashed it on the same day.
•In their 20s, they all still live in their rank little trailer with their mom, and Lee has no intention of leaving or wanting things to change. If anything she wants all her sisters to stay with her cause that's how things just are and always have been, right? At this point, Marie doesn't give a shit if she has to go or if one of her sisters leaves. Well okay, she does, but she wouldn't say so. May really wants to leave, but doesn't have the opportunity to do so. Every plan she has either doesn't work out or gets shut down by Lee and Marie. Lee is harsh about it, but it's because doesn't want her to go since she doesn't want things to change. Marie's just trying to grill her for anything.
•Their relationship as sisters hasn't improved much. None of them can really be vulnerable with each other. They still fight all the time, and it gets worse when they're intoxicated. Lee's usually the one deescalating fights between Marie and May, but her methods of doing it aren't great. Beating them both til they can't fight anymore or making them both pop bars so they shut up resolves nothing and just brings in new problems.
•Lee's the least changed. Most she's changed was just becoming more protective of her sisters, and Eddy if she isn't the one he needs to be protected from. She's still the same harsh, bossy, opportunistic, Lee people know and fear. She's definitely a lot more charismatic than she used to be and she uses it to manipulate people to her advantage. Well, when she isn't already beating them up. Her patience has improved, but only slightly... She tends to let her sisters do the fighting for her at first before she joins in though. I think that out of all the Kankers, Lee would be the most similar to their mother. She's kind of just wasting her time being irresponsible despite being the oldest, and is still hung up on a guy who doesn't want her. It's not ideal, but she doesn't care and doesn't see how bad it is.
•Marie's only gotten worse, and hasn't grown out of old habits. She was already angry and impulsive back then, but Lee encouraging it didn't help. She's still as sadistic as she was in the show, but she discovered a lot more opportunities to act on her sadistic thoughts. The three Kankers tend to get away with a lot more than they should, but Marie's the only one who actually got arrested and end up with a criminal record after a fight in public where she caused some major injuries. Marie's capable of being nice sometimes, but nice doesn't equal good. Being nice is only reserved for her sisters too since she knows they're the only ones who are stuck with her and won't go. Marie has a fear of getting too close to people so she tends to push everybody away by scaring them off. Usually through hurting them or causing some kind of damage. Even if she does care about them, she can't always express it healthily since she thinks it makes her weak. She also misconstrues hurting the people you care about as tough love, but doesn't understand she sometimes hurts them the same way she hurts people she hates. She mainly got this from her father, but doesn't want to admit she's a lot like him.
•May's changed the most out of the three. She's way more self aware now, and less naive. Her sisters are too, but she's the only one who actually wants things to improve. Even if she doubts that will happen. She gets a lot of shit for being the "softest" out of the Kankers, and the bullying she goes through hasn't stopped. She just tries to put up a front because of it, but she's a lot nicer to be around when her sisters aren't there. She always looks for opportunities to go off on her own because of it. Whether it's signing up for a bunch of jobs so she can stay away from home without having to explain herself or just by going out without telling anyone. The first time she ran away from home was at 15 when things became too much, but came back because she had no choice. Lee told her she'd come back, Marie told her she was happier without her just to make her upset. They both didn't want her to go though. Running away ended up becoming a recurring thing throughout her teens sadly.
•There are still times where they do get along. Even if May and Marie fight a lot, they bond a lot when it comes to art since they're both creative.
•There's a few bullet holes in the trailer because Marie built an assault rifle, but doesn't give a fuck about weapon safety. All three of them have a bunch of weapons they hoarded and don't need.
•Lee still wears the wedding ring Eddy gave her when he married her for lower tax bills. They divorced after a few days because Eddy can't stand her. She acts like they're still married just to get on his nerves, and cause she still wants to be. Marie still tries to hunt down Double D, and he wants to avoid her as much as possible. Ed and May are kinda chill now, but I'll elaborate on this in another post.
•Lee doesn't really work at the moment, she stays at home taking care of mama Kanker cause she's getting old. She used to work in a few bars, but got fired from 2 and quit 1. She's also been fired from working at a casino. She does make money off stealing luxury items from malls and selling them at a higher price online though. Despite all the bad stuff, Marie works as a mechanic and her job is the most stable source of income for her sisters and mom. Whenever she has issues with customers, she messes with their cars. The damage isn't noticeable at first, but they usually come back with more issues or full on break down. May juggles different entry level jobs she isn't too good at, but really wants to be a dentist. She just can't afford to get an education for it.
I still like thinking of the Kankers as antagonists for the most part, but with some changes. I'll be posting more of my ideas with drawings to come with it later on.
