Kitkat404 - Hopelessly Optimistic

❤️🧡

what’d you expect from me

I shoulda known if anyone was gonna ask for cheerwives it would be you Oll, so here ya go!

Similar to Kate and Ches, they’re always having sleepovers (pillow fights are necessary for the full experience)

Riley’s parents are never home so she likes going over to Cairo’s house for dinner, the Adekoya’s are so used to it that Riley has her own designated spot at the meal table

They drive to Starbucks and get tea after practice, every time, no exceptions

Cairo likes to steal Riley’s bow from time to time, she’ll just walk by and pluck it right off her ponytail, Riley pretends to be annoyed but she secretly loves seeing Cairo clip it into her own hair (to Riley it’s like the equivalent of having your girlfriend wear your clothes)

They’ve been going to the same summer cheer camp since 6th grade, they had their first kiss (and many other kisses) while canoeing

BONUS KATEVA BECAUSE I FORGOT TO PUT IT IN THE OTHER POST

Eva loves stealing Kate’s hats, she’ll just grab it off her head and run away, and Kate both loves and hates it, she hates that it messes up her hair and also because she just likes her hats, but she loves the big smile that Eva gets whenever she does it, and loves hearing her laugh as she runs away (and also loves hearing her shriek when Kate inevitably catches up)

💙💚 ehehehe

Kate and Chess headcanons? I see you 👉👉

Kate started doing Gymnastics after she went to a studio open house and watched a bunch of girls doing cool tricks and just- baby lesbian panic

Kate gets very clingy when she’s sad, which is often, so it’s not uncommon to see her just hanging off of Chess with a pouty lip and furrowed brow while Chess is just sighing resignedly

Their gymnastics studio offered a summer camp for girls of a specific age and up. The first year Chess was eligible, Kate was still too young, so right before she left, Chess made them matching friendship bracelets as a promise to Kate that she wouldn’t forget about her while she was gone. They never took those bracelets off

They have sleepovers all the time, Chess does their hair, and Kate paints their nails, it’s become routine for them

Kate’s home life isn’t the best, and when things get to be too much she runs over to Chess’s house and climbs through her window, Chess’s parents will often come up to say goodnight and find the two cuddled up watching anime with the subtitles on and the volume off while eating a bag of chips that seemingly appeared from nowhere (Chess keeps a stash of snacks under her bed for these specific types of visits)

They made a pact when they were in 3rd grade that one day, they would move in together and get 5 dogs of all different breeds because “all dogs are amazing Checkers, how can we pick just one?!”

They were each other’s first kiss, when they were around 8 and 9 years old, after they watched a sappy romance movie and got curious, Chess brings it up from time to time and Kate just blushes

💚 (white heart)

Kate and Mattie huh? I’ll give it a go!

Mattie is kind of scared of Kate at first, Kate isn’t the most approachable person, she’s very closed off to most people and looks pretty angry a lot of the time

It isn’t until they’re partnered up for tricks during practice (Kate as a base and Mattie as a flyer) that Mattie starts to warm up to her. They get set up for a stunt and Mattie starts shaking like a leaf, so Kate stops for a second and checks in with her, helps her calm down and relax a little so she doesn’t botch her fly and hurt herself.

After that, Kate becomes very protective of Mattie, if anyone at school tries to pick on her, Kate is there to scare them off and cheer Mattie up

They’re a pretty good stunt team during routines, since Kate is too big to be a flyer but really too small to lift most of the other girls, and Mattie is tiny enough that she can boost her up easily

chess + animals!

chess loves animals but i feel like her parents wouldnt allow her to have one; they think theyre dirty and they have no time to look after one anyway

chess usually goes to the far end of her garden to be alone and think which is where she met a kitty which she sometimes brings food if she can sneak some out; said kitty is somehow always there when chess is upset

when she was younger she would be fascinated by the insects at the park and in her garden but her parents would tell her not to go near them so she had a little notebook she would document what she saw w a lil doodle and try and search them later

i think this started an interest in biology that soon turned into human biology as a backup plan (due to her uh failed athleticism); she doesnt find it quite the same but she still finds it interesting (humans are after all still animals)

she routes for the under-dog animals imo like the ones that arent cute and cuddly; she loves octopusses due to their intelligence, finds jellyfish fascinating due to their regenerative properties, and loves social insects like bees just of how they all work together.

she does have a small soft spot for otters though as she used to be a swimmer so saw a lot of herself in them (she also loves how they usually mate for life and the whole holding hands so they dont float away <3)

send me a character + a word = get a headcanon

ryan… hey, ryan… why did you cut this?

Non-binary Chess my beloved!!!!!!!
