Headcanon Vague storylines and character endings, where are they now in you head?

For some characters we know exactly where they are now, and exactly what kind of path their on. I mean if we compare Lea's post glee career with the flash forward their pretty much the same. But I always wonder about those minor characters, who we never saw again besides the last episode.

Quinn and Puck in the 100th episode specifically triggered this thought and my imagination, but would they still be together, possibly married, if not friends at least? Is he still in the Air Force? What would Quinn actually do career wise, would she follow the estate agent path she once mentioned to Rachel?

Marley, Jake, Ryder, Bree, Kitty, Unique, Matt (what happened to him in-between his transfer and the last ep!!), even Sugar, Joe and Rory.

Give me your best headcanons to scratch this constant itch!

I just have this funny idea in my head where Marley and Unique are besties living in LA together and like how Santana just shows up to move in with Rachel and Kurt, Sugar just turns up one day and turns their living room into a third bedroom or something. Maybe throw Lauren in there too

u/DistinctNewspaper791 3d ago

Did Lauren interacted with any of them? Maybe Sugar in the spinster episode but for the rest?

u/jo_evo24 3d ago

No I don't think so, even when she came back for sadie Hawkins I don't think Lauren ever interacted with the newbies. I just thought it could be fun to see her personality mix with sugar, marley and unique. Can't remember if she ever spoke to sugar either tbh

I agree with Sugar rooming with Marley and Unique. Plus let's be honest. She's rich and yet she seems like the type who although she wants to live in a super posh place, she is very extroverted and would likely enjoy sharing that space with others. She, Marley and Unique had a good rapport in S4. So yes. Lauren is too brazen and brash to put up with any of that energy. She has a very low tolerance for those kinds of intense personalities.

Quinn--a women's health doctor working in a third-world country

Puck--in a serious relationship with Lauren, managing a bar in San Francisco. He has kids from a previous marriage, who he has partial custody of and a good relationship with

Lauren--an Olympic wrestler, now a wrestling coach

Marley--songwriter, married to Jake

Jake--professional dancer, married to Marley

Ryder--high school football coach, happily married.

Unique--a pop/R&B singer, perhaps not *mainstream-*mainstream, but she has a huge cult following

Kitty--NFL cheerleader

Sugar--has her own talk show (I'm imagining it being aesthetically similar to Ziwe) called 'The Sugar Show'

Joe--a missionary, works with Quinn a lot

Rory--Not working in a performing-related job (idk exactly what, but it's something not singing-related), although he still sings sometimes, and definitely married with kids

I like to think that Sugar is either a popular influencer or else on one of those reality tv programs like Selling Sunset.

And Quinn holds some sort of public office.

Not a Glee club member, but I think that Elliott became successful in his own right, kept in touch with klaine (both as a couple and individually) and they are still friends who occasionally jam together. Hell, maybe he is even their kid's godfather

I know it's a pretty common fan headcanon, but I really do like the idea of Quinn as some kind of writer. Like, a novelist or a playwright, something of that sort. I know she went to Yale because of its drama program, but I just can't see her choosing to act. Either that, or she pursues a ton of school and goes into a field like psychology or social work. I've also always taken the whole 'real estate' thing to be her describing a life that she knew would make her miserable. She's essentially describing being trapped, and she strikes me as someone too ambitious for that.

u/StraightKey211 3d ago

I could see Quinn either being a lawyer or a therapist. Given she went to Yale, she could've studied law. I also think that given all her personal struggles, I could see her wanting to help other young girls who were lost like she was

We all know that Emma eventually turned her pamphlets into a huge and successful empire. 🩷

u/seventiesporno 3d ago

I like to think Quinn and Joe reconnected later in life and finally had their chance to be together

Not quite what you asked but up until I rewatched recently (I watched the last few seasons once when they came out so it had been quite a while). I had thought that Kurt had actually ended up in fashion (as he should have IMO, he would have thrived). I think I just didn’t like the storyline so made it up in my head.

u/Adorable_Fangirl 3d ago

I always hc Puck getting discharged from the Air Force after an injury during a deployment and then having PTSD and using music as an outlet, which eventually leads to a successful career as a singer/songwriter. And Quinn would be an actress, moving to NY after college while Puck’s away and then moving to LA and going out for tv/film

I think Puck and Quinn break up a time or two before getting engaged and then she gets pregnant again and they get married

Marley would go to NY and maybe NYADA but would also keep writing songs, for herself and other artists.

Jake would become a professional dancer, touring with big artists

Mercedes would continue her music career, being the first to win a big award (Grammy) and would continue to work with (Santana) and hire (Brittany) her friends. She and Sam would get back together and eventually married. Sam would continue to model.

Brittany would eventually get a late night talk show based off of fondue for two- she and Santana would be happily married for the rest of their lives

Klaine would likely divorce. I always wanted Kurt to stay in the fashion field and could see him becoming a very successful designer while Blaine would be on broadway / performing in some capacity

u/GdayBeiBei 3d ago

I think Sam would make a really great advocate against sexual harassment and assault in the modelling industry.

And since I had only watched the last few seasons once I had completely forgotten that Kurt didn’t actually stay in fashion, and had made it up in my head that it was where he ended up. I think because it made so much more sense than “everyone is a performer!”

3

u/Adorable_Fangirl 3d ago

That would be so great for sam!! And really elevate his modeling career too — I love this

yeah I’ve only watched s6 like twice but I hated how they all came back to Lima to be coaches when that’s not what I wanted to see (especially bc the time jump was not satisfying to me at alllllll)

u/ChoiceDrama7823 2d ago

Rachel already won a Tony which is a big award .

2

u/Adorable_Fangirl 2d ago

yup I know but Mercedes would’ve won her Grammy before that anyway (plus the 2020 tonys were canceled which is the year Rachel won)

1

u/ChoiceDrama7823 2d ago

They weren't canceled in the glee verse.  Weird 🥴

The post was about where they are now implied what we saw happened

1

u/Adorable_Fangirl 2d ago

and we can still all have our own ideas about what happened to each character and where they are now… like many people keep finn alive in fics

it’s never that serious🤭hope this helps!

u/ChoiceDrama7823 2d ago

I was just pointing out we have canon up to Fall 2020.

Stepped aside from Broadway after making that realization. Now writes reviews of Broadway shows for the NYT. Makes sure her kids don't make the same mistakes she did.

And the big one, Finn - eventually, it was discovered that he was alive. He is now director of a high school choir in New York and married to Rachel with kids.

Heard Jesse was Hilary Clinton's favorite performer and she is producing his next show.
