Ive Said This Before But I Keep Thinking About It Every Time Someone Mentions The TWP Characters. We

I’ve said this before but I keep thinking about it every time someone mentions the TWP characters. We somehow got into a situation, again, with 3 traumatised sad boy teenagers who are going to be absolute drama queens and have really interesting relationships. While Dru & Thais are our only source for girl on girl content and that kinda saddens me, and while I’m looking forward to TWP it sort of dampens my excitement and makes me a little nervous.

ZACHARY ARASH HEADCANONS

When he's a child, he thinks that Thomas is the Coolest Person Ever(tm). He's always asking for Thomas and views him as an amazing partner in crime who will help him pull "pranks" on Dadash by hiding under a bed with him and having snowball fights against him. Thomas is his role model and his idol.

He grows up so close with Thomas and Alastair that he thinks they're his fathers until he's like, 4. They go over about twice a week to spend time with Zachary, Sona, and Risa.

Sometimes Matthew and Oscar also will appear, or James and Cordelia. They'll all play with him and he'll be exceedingly amused by Oscar.

He really enjoys when Cordelia reads aloud to him. It's one of the activities that makes him feel calmest all throughout his life. When he's a teenager, he still enjoys her reading to him... but he keeps it a secret from his peers.

When Zachary is a bit older, Cordelia retires and gives him Cortana. He's about 17 by this point and is eager to go on his own adventures with the blade. It readily accepts him as its new bearer.

Because Zachary was so close with his mom, his siblings, and their partners, Zachary grew up never wanting for love. This makes him a kind of happy-go-lucky guy, and he's filled with genuine joy and very few worries.

Alastair secretly loves that for him.

But it's also kind of bad, because he's very spoiled and has literally never wanted for anything in his life. He's flawed! He's human! It's okay!

When he's 18ish, he begins having secret rendezvous with Christine Iris Fairchild. They fall madly in love.

He asks for permission to court her. Alastair and Matthew fight over having to be brother-in-laws but are secretly so happy for them.

Zachary also grows up really close with James and Cordelia's kids because they're so close in age to them. He always pulls the "I'm your uncle" card to get away with things when he was little, but eventually they got sick of it (because they were his friends) and told him to get off his high horse

When Zachary is older, he visits Thomas and Alastair when they move away to Paris post-retirement. Even though he lives far away, he ensures that he'll make the trek 2-3 times per year.
