 tbh i fully believe that healthy kids should be getting in some stupid trouble.

like, a child that’s in trouble all the time, frequently skipping school, getting caught doing crimes? that’s a kid that desperately needs literally any positive attention. that kid needs help. obviously.

but a child that is perfectly well-behaved, never speaks up for themself, is seen and not heard? that’s a child that’s afraid. they also need help.

Can’t stop thinking about Cameron and Charlie actually being friends. Like they were roommates, do you know how much potential that has??? So, because I am on a tangent I would like to share a few thoughts:

- Charlie seems like he would be the kind of person to throw pens at Cameron when he wants his attention. So the floor is always littered in pens much to the annoyance of both of them because Cameron won’t pick them up.

-Cameron found out that Charlie could play the saxophone when Charlie would play a single, very loud note when he was too deep into studying and didn’t notice the pens bouncing off his shoulder. 

-They wear roughly the same size of shoes and when in a hurry they’ve been known to accidentally take the others and then complain about it for the rest of the day.

-The rest of the poets are tired™ of their bickering only because they know that it means nothing to either of them 

-I think I may have read this headcanon elsewhere, but them starting a podcast. 

-Their energies would balance it out so nicely, maybe do it on obscure parts of history

-Charlie would bring in snacks and brush the crumbs off his bed, into his hand, and then put them directly onto Camerons pillow. (Cameron would just take off the pillow case because he is sensible like that)

-I want Camerons parents to love Charlie, maybe they’ve met him at the first day of school assembly thing. 

-Better yet Charlie didn’t want to go home for the holidays and instead of admitting it was bothering him to the rest of the poets (and Charlie and mr.perry sounds like a nightmare for neil) Cameron just casually says that he could stay at his house for the break.

-Which creates the power duo that is camerons mom and Charlie. 

-If it was modern day they’d snapchat each other daily 

-Charlie is in the family groupchat 

I got ahead of myself, but anyway. I just love them together as friends and think it is unexplored potential.
