lesoleilluna prompted:some of your favourite headcanons (gg, hp, or skins)

I am honestly so bad at coming up with headcanons when people ask me. I guess I tend to work any extraneous, personally-accepted details into my fics, so I don't really think of them as headcanons? I just think of them as...stuff that I wrote, haha.

One headcanon type thing I always had for Harry Potter was this idea that after the war Harry sort of takes over Grimmauld Place and renovates it and it's very therapeutic for him. I don't know why, but I always liked the idea of Harry just gutting that place, ripping it apart, dismantling the house and everything awful in it. Except Sirius' room, probably. Maybe post-divorce; I also really like the idea of Harry as a divorcé. Not particularly for disliking Harry/Ginny reasons, though it probably started that way. There's just something to the idea of him as a divorced guy with a bunch of kids, a single dad really, that appeals to me a lot.

With GG, I've probably constructed so much alternate canon in my head at this point it's ridiculous. Blair fell first with Dan is a good one; I subscribe to that. And here's some random things I have whipped up in my brain over the years:

Dan got suspended once in middle school for getting into a scuffle with a kid who was giving Jenny a hard time.

Jenny is most definitely a lesbian.

Serena ends up alone, probably with a kid, maybe sometimes with Carter. I have strong feelings about Serena being on her own. I don't see it as a negative thing; quite the contrary.

Blair is a fashion editor (this was mine before the show did or didn't do it).

I like the idea of Dan becoming a professor, very beardy and maybe with glasses. I like the idea of his writing failing or stalling out, or just him getting sick of it.

It's kind of my headcanon that Milo is actually Dan's, and that Georgina was doing some double-triple-agent lying.

Sex headcanons? Serena is super vanilla against all odds. Nate is definitely the dude to send you a dick shot. Dan likes being tied up. Blair could go full fetish if you let her but mostly sex is another way for her to exercise her control issues.

I have a lot of Carter headcanon, actually. Sometimes I forget that he barely existed on the show because I've come up with so much nonsense for him in my head. Things like: his father is a judge and Carter only calls him that, The Judge, and not anything else. His mother is addicted to prescription pills. His sister is younger and her name is Caroline; probably she's a year younger than our main crew, and Carter is like five years older than them. Carter himself is drug addict, sometimes recovering, sometimes not. Mostly cocaine but really anything. He has a little bit of a death wish and it has made him a lot reckless. He's bisexual and fucks pretty much everyone, but thinks of Serena as the only person he really loved. Probably he ends up in some shady career he would hate, like advertising or working as an agent in Hollywood. Uhhh clearly I have another Carter fic waiting in my head, lol.

Ummmm hm is there anything else? I think that's all I've got for now. Sorry for the excessive rambling!
