But Ill Die On This Hill - Tumblr Posts

what would the boys be like if the timeline was in 2024?

i genuinely think they would be so much dumber. they’d probably film some stuff on their phones. well, cal would; andre wouldn’t. cal would record his little video diaries on his phone and think that once he transfers them to a cd or something and deletes them from his phone they’ll be gone forever.

also… they’d probably not have much access to guns or at least not know where people keep their guns due to a lot more worry around weapons nowadays. i doubt his father would have such lax security around his weapons. i highly doubt chris would even have any if i’m being honest.

they’d be much more stuck up. maybe andre would even make snide comments about zero day in front of people who have no idea just like cal does in the movie. they’d think they could do nothing wrong. even in the movie, they know that there are margins of error that could always happen, but if they were in 2024, i doubt they’d even think about that. they’d see so many shootings on the news and think that it’s so easy.

cal has the worst immune system of all time.

he rarely ever feels good, whether he has a sore throat, runny nose, headache, or stomachache. it gets worse around winter, causing him to carry around medicine and tissues with him everywhere he goes. even andre has to keep a box of tissues in his glove box.

despite carrying around stuff to help him, andre makes fun of cal all the time. every time cal coughs, andre tells him to get away and calls him a freak. if cal calls him in the morning because he’s sick and doesn’t need a ride to school, andre says ‘thank god’ and teases him before even asking if he’s okay.

cal’s parents used to take him to doctors constantly, trying to figure out what’s wrong with their son, but the doctors just say he’s easily susceptible to viruses and everything of the sort. he misses school almost to the point of truancy due to fevers and being contagious. his mom just calls the school and goes to pick up his work from the office. rachel and andre go to his house after school to try to teach him, but they always end up watching movies and talking instead of learning.
