i humbly ask for headcanons of the menu squad 🙏 anything for my lonely menu squadder soul
Hi Lemi!!^^ Welcome back, and thank you for sending in your request!! :] Aough I love their little remaster designs. They look so stupid <3 /aff not a braincell between them.
Ask and you shall receive, menusquad headcanons!
Taco doesn't live in the hotel because she villain'd, and OJ is full of liquid so Paper would die if he fell in. Meaning if he wants to stand on someone's head as he does in s1 ep1, Pickle is his next best option. He's taller too, so Paper gets a better view!!
Another thing mostly for Paper, but gijinka-wise it would be neat if he had a retainer or braces of some sort for his underbite, yeah? Poor Paper was born with braces on. This would follow the headcanon that they're all vaguely teenagers in season 1, so you could do a lot more for them too! Pickles are bumpy, yeah? Pickle has just so much acne. Everyone thinks Taco is like 12 which is why Pickle is so keen to help her out because she's so much younger. She's just short but she's not gonna say anything of course. OJ has a diary that he narrates his days in like he's the main character in a disney channel sitcom. He, Taco, and Paper are having the fun teenage adventure of knowing something is off about you but not knowing what (neurodivergent). Pickle is depressed and join the neurodivergent club post-s1.
Once during season 1, Paper was trying to practice his flirting (since let's all be real he was flirting with OJ since he rejoined okay? okay good glad we all agree) and was using a literal glass of orange juice to do it. He may OR MAY NOT have ended up kissing the glass of non-sentient orange juice. Lucky for him, Taco was the only one who caught him in the act, and she barely speaks so she probably won't/can't tell anyone. She doesn't, for the sake of maintaining her facade, but she does walk off into the woods so she can absolutely lose it laughing for like 10 minutes. She stares intensely at him for the next few days, because watching him squirm is also incredibly funny.
OJ tried to reach inside of Taco once, possibly having noticed her picking up some random pieces from a challenge or such and wanting to keep her from having anything dangerous (let's say a blade from 4S's death trap thingy) inside of her that could cut her up. Needless to say she bites him and even runs to hide behind Pickle for good measure.
This one's a bit more meta, but I like to think that Fan secretly mourns the loss of the menu squad. He would have a power point prepared on how and why they are the most iconic final four out of all three seasons, explaining in-depth the dynamic as well as how it was harmed by Taco's betrayal.
