Starting to consider doing really shitty drawn animatics. God knows these robots take too long to draw to be effective or humane for animation..

Aww I feel so bad for Drayton and his brothers I just wanna hug them and comfort them :( I wonder what more sad headcanons you have on Drayton/the rest of the brothers and if so could you tell me a bit more about them? ;-; Thanks and have a wonderful day! :)

Ahh I feel a similar way! I'm sure they'd be happy to receive some comfort :]

And I absolutely do have more and I can definitely tell you about them (although every time I'm asked about my ideas, I immediately forget them...I should write them down properly).

One of my main ideas for the brothers - and this is something I've definitely mentioned before - is that they do care for one another but the gap between them all is already so big, that bridging it feels impossible. How is Drayton supposed to express that he cares after all he's done, especially to Bubba? That'd he'd done it out of love or fear? Perhaps a mix of both? It may be true but that doesn't really change the damage he knows he's done, he can see the way Bubba cowers away from him when he enters a room. The Sawyers kind of have to be a close family, only looking out for each other and all but still, they don't exactly strike me as the kind of family to sit down and have in-depth discussions about past grievances. So they have arguments, words are exchanged and both parties leave bitter and upset - never really finding their way back to each other, never really resolving any hurt. They just move on and act as normal as they all can.

At least that's how I see it!

Now I'll just rattle off some quicker, random headcanons I have about the brothers:

I don't think Drayton eats nearly as much as he should, mostly out of stress. He always cooks and provides for his family but after a long day at the gas station, the smell of bbq making him feel a little ill, he's not really in the mood for much food.

One of my friends headcanons that I adopted as my own is that Bubba gets nosebleeds when they're stressed. Drayton really knows he's gone too far with his yelling when Bubba's nose starts bleeding.

Another one inspired by a friend and expanded on together was that Chop knew something was wrong with Nubbins before he even got home. That he had a sense his twin was no longer around...because y'know, twin stuff.™ And maybe Nubbins knew that Chop had been injured as well. Chop is lucky it isn't fatal but of course, Nubbins never finds that out, he just has an awful feeling up until his last moments.

I also think that Chop would get sick of seeing Nubbins in himself when he looks in the mirror. Perhaps he decides on a bit of an appearance change because of that.

One I haven't given much thought to at all and really only came to me while I was working on an animatic (which is a wip, hopefully coming soon 🤞), was the idea of it being Chop who decides to deal with Nubbins's corpse in that way. I know it seems pretty standard for the Sawyers to keep dead family members around but a part of me couldn't help but wonder if Nubbins was a little different. He was young, much too young and it wasn't supposed to happen like that. It wasn't supposed to happen at all and Drayton just couldn't stand it, refusing to acknowledge any mention of him for a while. He's not exactly thrilled when Chop starts lugging Nubbins around but 'if it gets him outta his damn room once 'n a while, suppose it's fine.' 🤷‍♂️ No idea if like that idea at all HAHAH, it's really not something I've given much thought so disregard this one if you wish (I mean you can also disregard all of them if you want...obviously).

Those are all that spring to mind right now, thank you for your wonderful asks 😊 I hope my answers are somewhat entertaining!

I'm well aware I'm taking these characters (at least Chop) perhaps more seriously than they may have been presented at first but that's the fun of headcanons, ain't it? There's always room for goofy fun stuff as much as there is for the sadder sides. - 🐊
