When Trini Officially Comes Out To Her Mom, June Is Confused And A Little Uncomfortable

when trini officially comes out to her mom, june is confused and a little uncomfortable

june’s been raised to believe that only a man and woman can be together, nothing else

also conflicts with her religion a bit

she had all these fantasies about trini coming to her and talking about any boys she liked, picking out what to wear for dates and any boy problems she had

she’s at a lost of what to do now that trini came out to her

how does she talk to her about girls?? is it the same as asking about boys???

she comes off as overbearing and pushy when she’s trying to ask about any special girls in trini’s life ‘cause she ends up asking awkward questions making the both of them uncomfortable

yahoo becomes june’s best friend when asking questions about her gay daughter

trini goes through a phase where she thinks june doesn’t love her and is just waiting to kick her out

things become a little bit more strained between them

trini distances herself more from her mom and june is desperately trying to understand her daughter

it all boils over at a church function

they start screaming at each other in front of everyone and they’re both crying

trini comes out again, saying that she can’t change who she is

june replies she doesn’t want her to change, just wants to understand her again before everything started going to shit

they hug it out, they both still got issues to sort through but this one is the start of their healing relationship

someone from the church is visibly disgusted and loudly voices their displeasure at trini being allowed to come to the church

some others agree with them, but the majority don’t really care since the Big Guy Upstairs loves everyone

the pastor’s about to come and ‘politely’ disagree with their opinion before june beats ‘em to it

june goes apeshit on these people, scaring them into submission and causing an even bigger scene

the pastor is silently clapping and cheering her on in the background

a couple weeks later, after everything’s died down trini asks if she could bring her girlfriend over for dinner

june drops the lasagna she’s holding out of surprise

trini:...is that a ‘no’?

kim comes over later, nervous and skittish

doesn’t help that trini’s dad keeps mentioning his nonexistent guns or the fact that the twins are staring at her with frowns

honestly, the only one she feels relatively comfortable with is june and that’s only for a little bit before june starts purposely asking awkward questions

and trini? well, she’s having the time of her life ‘cause she never thought this would be possible

idk why the girl i like finds it so strange that i’ll be nice to her??? or do anything for her for no reason??? like, i have a crush on you yeah??? but common decency shouldn’t be dead??? you deserve the world???? 

my first post in a while and it’s about the grinch....

anyway, so the grinch is touch starved right? he wouldn’t be too accepting of sudden hugs or other means of affection

in fact, he might get nervous and stiff when they happen. clueless about what to do about it most of the time

obviously cindy-lou who and her family, along with any friends the grinch made ie bricklebaum, are trying to integrate him back into society

so they go about getting him used to touches, things like a brief pat on the back or a small squeeze of the hand so they don’t overwhelm him. too much too fast could have the opposite reaction and may cause him to become more of a recluse.

hell they might even tell him what type of affection theyre gonna show him beforehand so he doesnt have a panic attack at the unexpected touch. maybe even ask for permission before more intimate signs of affection ie hugs, forehead/cheek kisses, etc., etc.,

but the thing is, he doesnt understand the difference between platonic affection and nonplatonic affection is. oh dont misunderstand, he knows the signs of dislike and disgust, too used to being the green furred freak living on the mountain and familial love? well he’s got max and watching the lou who family in action in the mornings is always fun

but romance? he’s as dense as a brick. yeah when he sees it on the street he knows and understands, but when it comes to himself? well, lets just say that donna lou who is too stubborn and determined to give up on the oblivious green who

lol, donna’s trying to get into his dms and succeding but not in the way she wants. oblivious green thinking shes so friendly and nice, not even noticing his growing feelings for her. omg dates that arent dates but they totally are, except the grinch is like wow what a nice get together between friends and donna just slamming her head on the table in dejection.

grinch smiling obliviously: another dinner? for an anniversary? what are we celebrating?

donna throwing her hand up in exasperation: felix, it’s our six month anniversary, we’ve been dating for half a year.

grinch: ...

donna: how did you not know??  youre over all the time, we’ve had dinner with my parents, the boys call you daddy and cindy drew a family picture with you in it!

grinch: ...i thought we were just really close best friends

so i headcanon that the rangers are in tenth grade so they’re around 15-16,

but i made kim the oldest cuz she was held back so she should be in eleventh grade making her around 16-17 instead

but i also made trini my youngest one, having maybe skipped a grade

meaning i made them around a year or two apart

and opened up a bunch of cougar and cradle-robbing jokes for zack
