#sing headcanons

He loves action movies, he'd be a big fan of the Fast and Furious franchise. He also loves Back to the Future.

Does not know how to work his phone or the computer. Fully believes that if he wants to search for something, he needs to open a new browser and type Google.com before he can type in what he actually wants. His ringtones are always the default one, he never, ever changes it, because he doesn't know how. He has to ask Johnny to change his phone wallpaper and his caller IDs. Also, he used to end all his texts with -Dad or -Marcus as if the other person doesn't know who's messaging.

Based on that cut scene from the movie, he's really good with Rosita's kids and he's one of the few adults they'll actually listen to. He turns to Johnny like, "See son? That's how kids are supposed to behave." And Johnny just nods because whilst Marcus' back was turned, the piglets have gotten into the walls.

He can't cook. Neither him or Johnny can. They lived on take aways and ready made meals for years. This man will find a way to burn cereal.

He does this to Johnny and Nooshy when they're trying to dance.

His marriage with his ex wife was terrible and it's left him scarred, he doesn't want to open himself up to another romantic relationship because he's afraid history will repeat itself. But he wants Johnny to find love and build a family and be happy.

While you tried in your own ways to make sure your band gets their much-deserved attention as well for their various works besides just the music, the fact that you were pushed to be front and center stage didn't help matters.

When you asked your husband, Jimmy explained that it's just obvious to advertise you as the leading star of your band. While that's part of the reason, in reality, Jimmy did not really like how touchy-feely and close you and your fellow lead singer/guitarist are. While you repeatedly assured him that your friend is just that, a friend and lightly teased him about it before giving him affection in assurance, Jimmy just couldn't seem to shake that doubt. Given he was the producer for your band, all of you had to acquiesce.

Although you tried to assure your friends you were doing your best to make their jobs easier on them, you had a feeling they didn't quite believe you. The fact that Jimmy would sometimes whisk you away during production or in the midst of a writing session with your band didn't help. In fact, you're starting to wonder when was the last time you and your band actually hung outside of work hours. You couldn't recall the last time you had a simple milkshake and burger, just being you and your pals. In fact, most of your time was spent with your husband and his associates.

Your husband still leaves you gifts occasionally, yet for a time, they seemed more like something his fellow media moguls, their wives, his friends, or his parents. That is to say, something much more pristine and monochrome, save for a hint of blue or gold. Far less colorful than what you would usually wear.

On top of that, Jimmy would lecture you before meeting such big wigs on how to act.

"You don't want me to look bad, hun? I've worked so hard to get us where we're at right now; I just don't want you to accidentally make a fool of yourself."

If you were honest with yourself, you felt like you were in a sort of limbo. As if you're just going with the motions but with Jimmy directing the boat you're on. Your band seems to take notice of this, whenever you show up for a writing session or rehearsals.

Favourite head canon for ALL the characters?? Well, if you’re interested, I do have lots of hcs! These are just some of mine (so it’s ok if you disagree!) :

Buster - He’s physically small, but as someone in charge, he prefers to be seen as bigger. So he stands on the moon prop or stands on objects to be closer to others’ eye level, or even to have them look up at him.

Eddie - I suspect that Nana isn’t the only diva in his family. And his father either runs some sort of successful business or is in show business himself. His father is never around.

Meena - She comes from a very supportive, and very religious, family.

Ash - Doesn’t have a good relationship with her parents; comes from a rough upbringing. Moved out and in with Lance as soon as she could.

Rosita - Has a “live, love, laugh” sign somewhere in her home. Family is everything. Thanksgivings are nuts.

Gunter - has ADHD and is quite a talented creative.

Mike - did not survive the bears 💀

Johnny - Was popular with the girls at school, but hesitated to date anyone seriously. Or maybe he had a serious gf once but because of heartbreak (and family gang stuff) he needed time before getting into another serious relationship.

Alfonso - is interested in “Eastern philosophies” (he’s wearing those beaded bracelets) and is probably into meditation.

Porsha - Mother left when she was young and her rich father spoiled her in place of being there for her. She’s been given anything she wants in place of the attention from her busy father, but her father’s attention is all she ever really wanted. A daddy’s girl and will probably find a sugar daddy to support her.

Klaus - I’m 100% with @picapicamagpie ‘s hc on his history and upbringing! She explains it very well in her fic.

Clay - He went on to do solo tours and reunite with old friends in the industry. He’s healing and moving on from his past.

Nooshy - Also from a rough upbringing. Was homeless at one point.

Miss Crawly - She has been with Moon Theatre longer than anyone else in Sing. She has seen a lot. She has also forgotten a lot.

Nana - Buster’s business partner and, I would assume, oversees the financial aspects of Moon Theatre seeing as it was through her fortune that it was revived. Has had a dynamic life in showbiz. Divorced. Has a lifetime of working hard to acquire fame and fortune. Past experiences have left her bitter and resentful; it’s difficult to trust others; she isolates in her retirement; lives in the past when she was in her prime; is self-absorbed; and has high standards for others and herself. But underneath it all she actually does want to help and give back to the world.

im currently imagining theories about Sing 2 headcanons (kinda gloomy and dark like the movie itself) all are focused on Jimmy Crystal and his wife:

- Jimmy is widowed (and not divorced like many people think)

- Jimmy has a deep sense of hidden sadness because he lost his wife many years ago (he's constantly frustrated due that)

- Jimmy's wife passed away (potentially) due a terminal illness

- he doesn't know how to express his feelings and starts being defensive and critical instead

- as we can see, all his audition room is dark blue, trying to tell us in a subtle way that the loss of his wife makes him very sad. the room symbolize this feeling through a deep shade of this color, also the blue bright lines on the walls (similar to a lightning) indicate us that the way he express his feelings of loss and sadness is through anger outbursts (in this case the color red represent frustration and anger)

- another theory of mine is that all the rooms of his home, hotel and his properties symbolize his mental states and internal feelings

- he misses her wife a lot

like clay calloway

that's why he like clay's music a lot

he relates to clay's sense of loss as well

- Jimmy had to hide all the photos of his wife (he can't handle to see her face after she passing away due the nice memories he had with her)

Marcus: "So when we get to this new place, first order of business. Barry, you're not settin' one foot in that kitchen."

Stan: "Forget cooking. I wouldn't even trust this one with a microwave."

Barry: "Come ON! It was ONE TIME! Are you lot ever gonna let it go?!"

Marcus and Stan: "Never!

Barry: "What I did wasn't even that bad!"

Marcus: "Tell that to the stove you ruined!"

Stan: "We almost got kicked out of that flat 'cause of you!"

Johnny (aged five): "So...what did Uncle Barry do?"

Marcus: "Johnny, you wanna go to the park when we get settled in?"

Johnny: "Yay!"

Marcus to Stan: "He must NEVER know."

Out of all 63 canon characters that we actually get to know a bit about, I headcanon 55 of them are LGBTQIA+. Why? One, why not, two, they told me themselves, and three... this is legitimately a franchise about theatre kids, of course majority are gonna be fruity.

Buster and his daughter Angeline

• When her older twin and her were born to Buster moon and Snowy. The doctor said to Angeline’s parents that she has autism and speech disorder. Angeline would draw every day and draw pictures for her daddy and mom.

• When their mother died of terminal cancer. Buster tries his best to be the best dad ever!

• As Angeline and her brother turns 13. Their father gets Angeline the art supplies for birthday! Angeline loves her daddy.

• Angeline is always made fun of and gets picked on. But Buster tells her she will be recognized though whole world from her art!

• When Angeline met mother’s older brother named Jimmy. At first Jimmy wanted to kill Buster…. Until he realized that was his baby sister’s husband.

• Jimmy didn’t want to hurt and apologized. Buster was confused and ran out with his baby girl. Buster was surprised that show wasn’t canceled.

• Jimmy said that he’s Snowy’s older brother. Angeline was so happy that she has a big family again!

Killian and Nakia

• When Killian was nervous about newborn Nakia being afraid of him. She clings on to dress shirt and snuggles next to his chest. Killian smooths her cheek with right hand. Nakia hold on to it and opens her eyes colors are his.

• When Nakia became 7, Killian got her a half dog half wolf puppy and chihuahua puppy for her 7th birthday. Nakia was so happy! Killian would any activities with baby girls including Nakia.

• When Nakia turn 16, she went on her first date. Killian was getting anxiety about the date. He went to straight to the restaurant. Nakia was upset about protecting questions. Killian realized the boy is good person. BUT he still warned him about breaking Nakia’s heart!

- back when johnny’s dad was still in jail, rosita would be the one to make surprise visits at the garage and make sure if he was eating well, sleeping well, not overworking himself for the bail money. the usual motherly duties, amongst many other things.

- marcus literally has no hesitation to show all of johnny’s friends his baby photos.

- ash and nooshy together have the most chaotic of friend relationships—they’d say yes to jumping off a cliff in a synced heartbeat and they would think it’s a good idea to do so.

- when it used to be just ash, meena, and johnny, ash was the one who demanded they made a groupchat.

- and when she did make the groupchat, she proceeded to name it “the holy trinity”, then “the trifecta to dissect ya”.

- most of their groupchat conversations would be something like:

ash: hey guys guys guys guys guys guys

johnny: what??? its two am

ash: i just did some intense math like

ash: i just ate a whole box of frosted flakes

ash: its like a thousand grams

ash: im 52kg

ash: that means im 2% made of frosted flakes

ash: holy shit

johnny: please go to bed ash

- both ash and johnny had posters of clay calloway up on their walls when they were kids—you can’t imagine the excitement they felt when they met him.

- johnny probably called his dad that moment, like, “dad, you won’t believe who we’re performing with, it’s clay calloway, dad—can you believe it?”

- as for johnny, he grew up with calloway’s songs because it used to be his mother’s favorite singer.

- basically they’re his comfort songs and listening to them helps him calm down or fall asleep.

- rosita is the one to buy snacks for the cast who are rehearsing and you cannot imagine the amount of food she brings along (and she’s right to do so because all of them surprisingly eat a lot).

- when they arrived at crystal hotel, all the kids excitedly asked if they can look around the place while the adults unpacked and did their own boring stuff:

ash: moon, can we pleeeeaaassseeee go and explore?

buster: of course! just remember our room number—oh, here’s your room key, don’t forget that—and just make sure to be back by thirty!

- and basically that day they completely forgot they had a “curfew” and proceeded to go play at the hotel swimming pool.
