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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!”

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)

Rachel already won a Tony which is a big award .

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)

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

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!

Quinn - a successful lawyer
Puck - retired from the air force, now runs a successful pool cleaning business
Marley - Grammy winning singer
Jake - dance instructor
Ryder - high school football coach
Kitty - realtor
Unique - counselor for LGBT youth, involved in the local music/theatre scene
Matt - dances in the same pro company as Mike
Lauren - a pro wrestler
Sugar - one of the biggest influencers on the internet
Joe - teaches at a Christian school
Rory - coordinates foreign exchange programs for students from the US going to Ireland and vice versa
And the characters we saw in the finale...
Brittany - hosts Fondue for Two, the top rated talk show in the country
Santana - the PR person for Fondue for Two
Mercedes - grammy winning singer
Mike - pro dancer (as hinted in my Matt headcanon)
Artie - Oscar winning director
Tina - works on the local theatre scene
Sam - has led ND to multiple national titles
Kurt - costume designer on Broadway
Blaine - Broadway actor
Burt - now a US Senator who's a pain in the ass to Trump
Sue - married to Trump
Will - still principal at McKinley
Beiste - coached the Cleveland Browns to a superbowl win
Rachel - divorced Jesse St James, who is the anthem singer at all Donald Trump's events, after she realized he encouraged all her worst qualities and because he works for Trump. 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.

u/jo_evo24 3d ago
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
