bio

being born to a teen mom, archer was put up for adoption at a young age and got the luxury of being in the system long enough for him to only have good memories of being a foster kid before sebastian and hunter took him in permanently. having loving and wealthy parents turned out to be the best and worst thing to ever happen to him. not only did he get the chance to explore any likes and interests he had without any backlash or ridicule, but he also got everything he asked for, which was something he took advantage of often.

between begging for the newest toys and making his parents sign him up for sports he’d only play for a month, archer got to have more than an eventful for childhood doing whatever he pleased. although most of his time was spent taking various lessons and classes, it took him getting in trouble in school for doodling on his schoolwork for him to realize he had a knack for drawing. instead of punishing him, his parents signed him up for art classes and it’s been his favorite thing ever since.

while on the search to find himself, archer stumbled upon his birth mother’s information. there were no real expectations when it came to answers about her, but finding out she was living a happy life without him kind of hurt. he knew she had every right to get on with her life, yet the boy still felt as if he needed her to care about him still being out there in the world. and as much as he didn’t want to admit it, knowing that affected him a lot more than he thought it would.

choosing to go to mckinley instead of dalton like his dads, he calmed down on trying to be involved in everything and kept his activities limited to football, lacrosse, and eventually glee club. archer found out early on that singing wasn’t his strong suit, but that didn’t stop him from joining his sophomore year. though his main reason for keeping his schedule open was due to the girl he’d been sure helped him realize what the meaning of love is. the two of them never defined their relationship but they knew what they were, but with archer being archer, he found himself second-guessing the whole thing and eventually distance himself from her. he tried to convince himself distancing himself from relationships like that was the best since he could avoid getting his feelings hurt any more than they already could, but he knew it was more than that.

despite almost being an adult he still acts like a child and doesn’t see himself growing out of that immaturity any time soon. when he’s not giving people wet willies or attempting to scare people with elaborate pranks, for the most part, archer is a pretty chill guy, doing his best to make the people around him feel happy and comfortable. although he’s sworn off love forever, he still considers himself a hopeless romantic but he channels that into his family and friends. getting them gifts and drawing/painting them pictures to show them he cares about them.

leia elise evans was born on march fourth in lima, ohio where she was lovingly raised by sam and mercedes evans. & yes she was totally named after princess leia from star wars, did you really think sam wouldn’t get at least one of those names in?

growing up, leia had anything but a normal childhood. being raised by mercedes and sam, the two being very opposite, gave her the best of both worlds. from a young age not only was she being introduced to the star wars and avatar franchise but mercedes also made sure to teach her kids valuable lessons such as how to take what you want in life, not letting people step in the way of your dreams.

no matter how different they pair were though, they always worked well together when it came to their family. which is why it was so devastating to leia when the broke the news of their seperation a few years ago. at first it angered her that they two would want to split their family, but after a while of the new living situation, leia realized it was the best for their happiness and learned to accept it and just enjoy the time with her parents.

now, leia splits her time at either parent’s house, coming and going as she pleases, though with her extra curriculars she isn’t always home anyways. between cheerios and the new directions and the family store (sam’s comic store) she loves to work at with her dad and siblings, the girl is usually always running around, refusing to spend her free time holed up at home even between practices.

child neglect tw: zelda hummel-anderson was born to a young single mother not ready to have children. despite not having the resources, motivation or support to actually raise a child, her biological mother decided to raise her herself. it wasn’t until zelda was three that cps came in and had zelda taken away on the basis of child neglect.  tw end. 

zelda was bounced around from foster home to foster home. she was very quiet but when she spoke, she was ruthless and cold - and from a young age, zelda accepted she’d have a life in the awful system. until she was seven, when she got to the hummel-anderson household. she was actually given the opportunity to let her guard down and open up. it was unlike any foster home she’d been in before - - and soon, she was adopted. 

she softened up a lot, but she still had a pretty big chip on her shoulder. it seemed the only people she was her genuine self around were her siblings, and occasionally her family’s friends. but even at that, those real moments were few and far between. 

she was kind of hated at school, by the time she got to high school everyone was over the whole HBIC trope and her whole deal. she was on the cheerios, yet, not even that could get people to like her.  

i mentioned we get ridiculous ryan style writing , here it is , buckle up . the week following graduation, zelda took up all the money she had in her savings, checking and credit - she booked a one way flight to paris, france and left with no word sneaking out to live her new life. everything booked with her fake id, she cut her hair and dyed it blonde, to avoid being caught. there was a search for her but it just turned into a cold case after a while. 

the truth was, she had found a pretty good opportunity with a mutual who lived in paris, and she was just not good at goodbyes. the opportunity was a nanny job, which included free housing, free necessities and amazing hourly rates. she had no intention of coming home ever. ( thank god she took french through middle and high school. )

when she got to the home she was supposed to be nannying at, it was revealed that it was all just a scheme, she wouldn’t be a nanny to children - she’d be nannying a-list celebrities in their underground high stakes ( and highly illegal ) poker rings as a party host. 

she didn’t object, when the truth was presented to her. she was making way more money than she was already promised - - and it wasn’t long until the leader of the ring took a liking to zelda, and the hummel-anderson found herself a sugar-mommy. 

drug addiction ment. with all the glitz, glam, and drugs ( so many drugs ) and her new found love with the older woman, zelda was living the life that she’d always dreamed of. she had power. she had all these household names answering to HER. 

Samantha Lee grew up in New York, the daughter of a engineer and a biologist. Her parents instilled a hard work ethic from just about the day she was born, but unlike the stereotype of forcing their dreams on her, they wanted her to have any opportunity she wanted. She knew she loved kids, and wanted to work with them. So she went to school for school administration, getting into University of Chicago. 

When she got to Chicago, she started working at a gym to make some extra money, and that’s where she met Mike Chang. She was cleaning equipment one night when almost no one was left and saw him in one of the empty rooms, dancing his heart out. Ever since that day, she made sure that room was empty when he came in, and would watch him, until he caught her one day. He asked her out, and ever since, they were inseparable.

When it came to having children, Sam had a hard time. 3 miscarriages in 4 years had nearly broken her. She spent weeks sitting in a therapists office, crying and asking why she wasn’t able to have a child. After about 4 months, she was pregnant again, and this time, she was able to carry to term. A while later, another child was brought into her life and she couldn’t have been happier.

BIO 

Sheldon Beiste always wanted to have a kid, so after much consideration and with the help of IVF and a surrogate, Theo was conceived. It took a long time for Theo to understand that he was a “test tube” baby, but it never bothered him once he understood what it meant.

Having a single trans dad, Theo was unfortunately subject to a lot of bullying when he was younger. He was always a very sensitive kid and completely attached to his dad, so he never understood why people said such awful things about him. His dad has always been his hero and role model, which is why Theo’s greatest source of trauma was always fearing for his dad at the hands of intolerant people. 

Sheldon always encouraged Theo to watch and participate in sports, but because he was a pretty scrawny and small kid, he was always benched.  This changed when Theo got to high school. At 14, he experienced a growth spurt and bulked up substantially. 

Theo’s star rose quickly at McKinley once he grew up. Now standing at 6′4″, he is the starting quarterback for the varsity football team. His high school experience has consisted mostly of girls and parties, but unlike a lot of the guys he rolls with, Theo actually likes being in a relationship. He’s had several girlfriends, but ultimately none of his relationships last because he has a hard time truly opening up. 

Despite this, Theo craves intimacy and is still very sensitive. He acts tough to make sure no one ever makes fun of him or his family ever again, but bottling up his emotions so much makes him aggressive. He doesn’t know how to process or explain his feelings and more often than not, refuses to engage in discussions about his own toxic masculinity.

Presently, Theo is just trying to enjoy his last few months of high school. He’s already committed to and has a full ride to Ohio State on a football scholarship come fall.
