Sam And Max Headcannons <3
WARNING!!!! THESE ARE ALL BASED ON LITERALLY NOTHING. NONE OF THESE HAVE ANY CANNON BACKING THEM UP
Max loves to draw, though he's on the artistic level of a kindergartener. He likes using crayons the most :)
Sam and Max are both autistic. In fact, the whole reason they got into this business is Sam's never ending hyperfixation on black and white detective films.
They always get icecream after a job to celebrate :)
The commissioner is literally just Steve Purcell
On halloween, they always go as themselves and see how many people they can trick into thinking they're just in costumes. It's always fun
Max likes babies :)
Sam could be making thousands selling his artwork, but he doesn't think its good. (its basically on par with the mona lisa I have no idea where he gets that idea from)
Their favorite icecream is orange dreamsicles :)
Max loves using slang in front of sam to watch him panic because he has No Idea what his little buddy is saying
Max is the top
They like M night Shyamalan movies
Max isn't allowed to listen to Caramel Dansen anymore because last time he did he got so hyper he nearly broke everything in the office
they own multiple of eachother's plushies
They love interacting with kids!! Sam always has police badge stickers in his pocket in case of a Child Spotting. Max also has pixiesticks on hand for the same reason. Sam has no idea if they're actually pixie sticks or if he's just giving kids hard drugs and he's too afraid to ask
Sam is terrified of the Vet. Its a whole day ordeal of Max having to trap, trick, and manipulate his way into forcing sam into the vet's doors. He always gets a chewtoy afterwards though cus he's a brave lil pup :)
Max likes going to the vet because he steals all the equipment
Sam is a giant frank Sinatra fan, listens to him All The Time. This has led to max hating frank sinatra.
Sometimes max will just latch onto sam like a damn parasite and Sam wont even know he's been latched onto him until Max says something. Its nearly given Sam a heart attack on occasions
Sam has a dog bed, and Max sleeps where ever he wants. Spots Sam has found him sleeping in include: The Fridge, On the roof, On his head (suffocating him), In the microwave, and in the fishbowl.
When max dries off after getting wet he looks like a gigantic puff ball. He hates it, and Sam always makes fun of him for it
Sam does the Snoopy Happy dance :)
Max loves being thrown around. Down the stairs, through a window, being spun until he's violently ill... you name it, he adores it.
Max cant swim, but he will lie till the end of time that he can, since he finds wearing floaties embarrassing. He usually drowns at least two times at pool parties
Max's idol is the shark from Jaws
Max loves putting stickers on things he loves! Which usually means himself and Sam are covered in them
If you ask either of them how old they are, they'll reply with "time is a concept" because they've honestly forgotten what age they are
Sam and Max both believe in santa (I guess this isn't a headcannon since they did see/kill him once but still I like it)
Max has the uncanny ability to sleep anywhere anytime he wants, including sleeping standing up.
Sam and Max met eachother at a playground because Max bit sam and said he wouldn't let go till they were best friends. I think you all know how the rest of the story goes

I am a huge fan of when a story has a central duo, because it allows for the focus to be squarely on the way those two characters interact, both with each other and with the world around them.
And those two characters can be anything: bosom companions who've known each other since childhood, strangers or acquaintances whose relationship grows into friendship or love, enemies or rivals who were forced to cooperate-- the list goes on! It's a lot of fun to see them smoothly bounce off each other or collide harshly, and everything in between!
And, of course:
Those dynamics can be applied to larger groups, whether we're talking about interactions between individual pairs of characters, team cohesion or conflict as a whole, how they face threats together... the works.
