barry headcanons???
oh my god i just read this interview and i'm so so full of barry feelings??? i have a Lot of Headcanons that i did not have five minutes ago????? wow i almost can't even articulate them now because they feel so brand new but i am really really interested in how this new information about his childhood would affect wolfpack dynamics, and I am also v interested in the fact that he is five years older than fionn, which changes something about the way i'm headcanoning them. and ALSO i am having so many feelings about him thinking of acting as a job rather than a Sacred Craft, esp the fact that he only auditioned because he saw a note in a window and secretly wrote down the number so his friends wouldn't laugh at him and then called it at home??? also the quote from his girlfriend about him being impulsive and not thinking things through but also being caring and feeling deeply when he's hurt someone!!!
and i will eventually have SOME WORDS TO SAY about niall and barry, especially re: "It’s not easy but it has made me who I am. I don’t go around complaining about it, I get on with it," and re: Irish boys from dysfunctional families getting on with it and not going around complaining about it, and tbh?? i would read a 50k barry/niall fic that explores like.. barry idolizing niall, and also the two of them having this sort of intuitive unspoken understanding re: irishness and being (or wanting to be) permanent expats and having a complicated relationship to home/family. but then niall's life has been very easy in some ways ($$$ mostly), but also not easy in other ways -- i'm just thinking of that quote from zayn's PR person today about one direction being like the army, where you lose the ability to tell what's good/healthy for you, and it doesn't matter what you feel really because it's not going to stop or slow down even if you wanted it to. and maybe fic!barry has some understanding of what it feels like to be caught up in this sort of amorphous impersonal system that doesn't really care where you want to go or what you want to do, but also, he was able to sort of kick out at it and stir up trouble and be impulsive in ways that allow him to exercise/have some kind of freedom. whereas niall couldn't rebel, he was so under the microscope and so conscious of all these other people's futures riding on him, and he just learned to control and suppress whatever he was feeling. he trained himself to ignore whatever signs his body and brain were giving him because his body/brain kept saying it was Too Much but things being Too Much wasn't an option. OK PHEW. WOW. TWO DIFFICULT BACKSTORIES THAT WERE DIFFICULT IN SUCH WILDLY DIFFERENT WAYS!!! WHAT WOULD THEY BE LIKE TOGETHER!!!!! HOW WOULD THESE HISTORIES MANIFEST IN THE RHYTHMS / DYNAMICS OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP????
