I can do better; I can add eVErYboDy (well not everybody but mostly everybody).

always up for headcanons, wdym? :D here you go!

BEFORE SING 1:

- he used to be a really, really loving guy.

- everyday after returning home to his family from work, he'd go straight up to his wife and give her a kiss and then give his son a hearty tousle of his hair.

- he was busy taking care of the family financially but he was happy with what he had.

- he tried to spend as much time with johnny as possible, reading him storybooks and giving him piggyback rides all the time.

- he used to videotape everything going on in his family from small moments where johnny and his wife would sing and play the piano together, or little trips to the beach.

- after the death of his wife he had a period where he had started distancing himself from johnny.

- he began drinking a lot more too, and johnny had to deal with his mum's death alone for a couple of years.

- it was a really hard time for both of them, but the thing that marcus (big daddy) felt worse about was not being able to be a good father for his only son.

- whenever he looked at johnny he only saw his dead wife (johnny had her eyes and carried her softer accent).

- it hurt to face johnny and offer him the comfort his son needed, so he shut him out.

- the car garage business wasn't doing too well for him and johnny, so one small robbery he had planned with a couple of other gorillas from around the neighborhood turned into full-on heists.

- but marcus made sure that johnny stayed in school and occasionally checked on his homework from time to time when johnny was asleep.

- johnny got good grades most of the time so marcus didn't worry much.

- marcus did really want the best for johnny, he really did.

- but as johnny grew with the passing years, marcus could only see more and more of his wife from him.

- every day he turned out more to be like her, and the pain of losing his wife started to flood back.

- the thought of johnny becoming like his mum automatically brought him to the irrational idea of losing him too.

- this terrified him, utterly terrified him... so from that day forth, marcus decided to force johnny into the family heist business.

- he wanted johnny to be more like him: bigger, stronger, less vulnerable, less emotional, more able to mask pain, be able to defend himself against anything that might hurt him.

- most of all, he didn't want to see his wife in johnny. so for years, marcus tried to change johnny.

- but johnny didn't change, not at all—and including him in the heists (which he honestly thought would bring johnny closer to him) made johnny start to stray away from marcus more.

- the back of his mind kept telling him that this was all wrong, so he continuously put johnny on look outs instead of actually taking part.

- but he shared his plans to johnny with the most enthusiasm, maybe thinking that if he got johnny to feel the actual thrill of a heist, he would slip out of his softer "demeanor".

- of course, there was no change within johnny's personality—he still was much softer than the sons of other gangs, way too careful, and he still seemed too emotionally vulnerable.

DURING SING 1:

- when johnny started leaving the garage more often, sometimes for the whole day (because he was off at rehearsals all the time), marcus made the ultimate decision to try and make johnny the getaway driver.

- he tried to make it a big deal, like it was a gift for johnny, so that in that way marcus would finally be able to grow closer to him.

- marcus had at least wanted a genuine smile on johnny's face.

- "w-wait, y-you—you want me to drive? ... can't wait."

- it hadn't been quite the reaction marcus had been expecting—but then again, there had been something at the back of his mind telling him that he wouldn't have exactly liked being part of an actual heist.

- on the day he noticed johnny had gone and left along with the truck from the place he had left him after the botched heist, marcus had never felt more angry in his life.

- it wasn't just the disappointment he felt—it was the hurt.

- hearing from johnny during first visit in prison that he didn't want to be part of the gang, that he wanted to be a singer, it was a big stab in the heart for him.

- it wasn't because johnny didn't want to be in the gang—it was that irrational thought again reminding him that johnny was, exactly, the replica of his mum.

- marcus had tried all those years to try and make sure johnny was more like him, not like his dead wife—it scared him, and the mere thought of losing johnny the same way he lost his wife was overwhelming.

- that night, marcus said the words he regretted saying right afterwards.

- "how did i end up with a son like you, eh? you're nothin' like me. you never were, and you never will be."

- he walks away from johnny, painfully ignoring the desperate shouts and poundings on glass from his own son, unable to turn around and face him as the shame washes over.

- being the stubborn gorilla he had always been, marcus doesn't have the heart, after basically disowning his only son, to go out during visiting hours.

- he feels stupid and he feels like a coward and most of all, he knows he's the worst father in the world and deserves all of this.

- what marcus knows is that johnny doesn't deserve any of what sort of shit he's giving him, but he doesn't have any clue on how to make amends.

- when he sees johnny one night on the screen of the TV, singing beautifully and playing the piano, his heart swells with joy.

- he knows he's supposed to be reminded of his wife and knows that watching johnny perform like this, is logically, supposed to make him feel upset.

- but marcus doesn't feel upset at all—all he feels is the pride swelling in his heart.

- "johnny... he's johnny, that's my son!"

- his son, that he had refused to talk to for weeks, had said terrible things to, and whom probably thinks that his own dad is too disappointed to even acknowledge him.

- his son that he had tried to force into paths that johnny hadn't wanted, all just to keep himself from feeling any more hurt. he had been selfish and he needed to make this right.

- he needed johnny to know that he was sorry—and even if he didn't say it, marcus just needed johnny to know that he was proud: proud of who johnny had grown up to become despite having such a terrible father.

- when he breaks out of prison to give his son the first actual hug he had given him in years, he's the happiest he had ever felt.

- the thrills of all those heists he pulled seems like absolutely nothing now—when johnny returns the hug, he savors the moment. he knows it won't be long.

AFTER SING 1:

- realizing that marcus wants to be with johnny as soon as possible, he returns to prison right after seeing johnny.

- he doesn't want his actions to cost him additional years in jail.

- eventually seen as a special case (and mostly because the story melted the cops' hearts), he isn't given an extension but is put on careful watch instead.

- johnny tells marcus, on his first ever visit to him after the show, that he's now an official cast member of new moon theatre, which is currently being built.

- marcus is happy for johnny, but then his smile falters when johnny excitedly starts talking about the plans for the bail money he's going to earn.

- he mentions part-time jobs and opening the garage business again and johnny overworking himself for his own mistake and his sake is the last thing marcus wants.

- marcus tells johnny exactly that, but johnny (who is stubborn like the family bloodline) insists that it's fine. reluctantly, marcus agrees but the guilt feeding away at him makes him feel rather terrible.

- but once the money starts rolling in from the new performances done at the theatre, the bail money might actually work out.

- of course it's going to be a long way, but johnny is really excited and is already saving up the money to help his dad and uncles out of jail.

- mostly marcus tries to stray away from that subject and tries to get johnny to talk about his friends, life as a theatre performer, storylines behind his new shows and even maybe his love life (nothing much interesting on that quite yet).

- whenever johnny has to leave after visiting hours, marcus doesn't forget to tell johnny that he loves him, and he starts to refer to johnny as "son" more often.

- johnny always smiles and says "i love you too, dad" back, and it makes marcus' heart swell with the same pride he's felt that day.

- it sometimes occurs to him that he's stuck in jail during the prime of johnny's life while he's out performing on stage in front of crowds of people.

- marcus is missing out on one of the most important years of johnny's life and he can't help but feel ashamed when he's supposed to be out there by his side, supporting him the best he can.

- but johnny always comes during visiting hours with the biggest smile and he can just see the genuine joy radiating off of him as he talks about his week, and marcus knows that he can count on his friends and theatre family to look after his son.

- after long years, johnny is finally able to earn the bail money—he releases his dad and his uncles from prison.

- the very day johnny is finally able to hug his dad for the first time in years is just tearjerking.

- johnny just straight up runs into his dad's arms for an embrace and marcus gives it to him—he notices that johnny's has grown a little bit more taller and that he's bought himself a new leather jacket and shoes.

- after he's bailed out of jail (still under probation somewhat), marcus decides that he wants to do some actual good things for once and while johnny is busy with performing at the theatre, signs up for community food service along with his gang members.

- he's proud of what he did, feeling that he might be able to make some amends to what he's done in the past.

- every day he watches his son grow to be someone that he at first tried to force him away from being—but marcus, eventually, he happy that he didn't because johnny has grown so much and it's just great seeing him so happy.

holy shit i got like a ton of headcanons for this but here are some of them—so, about that firstborn… 👀

ryan x johnny (rynny) headcanons 🌈

- (we probably all know this) ryan is taller than johnny. not by too much but just enough that they can tease each other about it.

- “hey, how’s the weather up/down there?”

- ryan steals johnny’s hoodies and sweatshirts because he likes wearing them from time to time.

- there’s no real designated “big/little spoon” in their relationship. they usually take turns depending on who needs the comfort.

- johnny is still pretty new to cuddles and hugs and other affectionate gestures.

- ryan helps him through that and is the one who gives him the most cuddles and hugs and little kisses here and there.

- johnny is pretty shy to openly show their relationship in public (not that he’s ashamed, he’s shy about showing that he’s in a relationship itself).

- but ryan insists that it’s alright and is the one to give him cheek kisses from time to time and the first to hold hands (sometimes a peck on the lips).

- of course he checks upon johnny first to see if he’s okay with it.

- when johnny offers a shy smile and a nod of approval that just makes ryan incredibly happy.

- johnny just loves kids. ryan likes them but not as much as johnny does.

- sometimes some kids notice johnny and ryan from “out of this world” and crowd around them, asking for a hug or a picture.

- ryan gets confused and flustered while johnny laughs and even picks some of them up to put them onto his shoulder for a picture.

- ryan loves to notice little adorable details about johnny.

- for example, the fact that johnny’s tongue sticks out of the corner of his mouth when he’s really focusing on something such as writing a new song.

- ryan is scared of thunderstorms.

- whenever there’s a thunderstorm during the night, johnny cuddles ryan in bed and gives him soothing kisses on his ear.

- ryan is surprisingly clumsy at ice skating.

- johnny is amazing at it, so he once took ryan out to the ice rink to teach him as their “first date” after a performance one day.

- the “date” was never really planned out, it was just an impromptu agreement to hang out with each other.

- yes, they both consider it a date.

- it was actually where they had their first little kiss in the middle of the empty ice rink.

- surprisingly, johnny kisses ryan first.

- johnny leans in and puts his lips against his, having to stand on a bit of a tiptoe. ryan is surprised, initially, and slightly pulls back.

- johnny, thinking that he didn’t like him back, panics and starts apologizing.

- “oh my god, ryan, i-i’m so sorry—i-i don’t know what came over me, dammit, i’m such a wreck—”

- ryan just grabs johnny and kisses him for a good 4 seconds before pulling back with a smile. johnny is flustered at first but eventually smiles back, and you can see the relief in his eyes.

- once they got more public and open about their relationship, johnny grew less nervous and shy about it.

- then johnny first suggested excitedly that they get matching couple rings—now they both wear a gold ring on their index finger, ryan on his left, johnny on his right.

- so when they hold hands both hands have the rings on it.

- it’s only been half a year since they had been dating, but they sometimes find themselves thinking about what their wedding would be like.

- “wedding dress?” “wedding dress.”

- they both like to have their reading time—usually it’s johnny lying down on ryan’s lap while ryan reads his own book, snuggled in a mess of blankets and cushions.

- whenever johnny sees ryan is feeling down, he makes them two cups of coffee (sugar for ryan) and goes over to him with a tiny smile.

- vice versa, it’s english breakfast tea for johnny from ryan when johnny is feeling upset.

- ryan’s biggest pet peeve is when johnny overworks himself over his performances that he forgets to eat.

- ryan has to physically drag him out of the building to get him to stop practicing and eat something.

- johnny lets out a little groan and rolls his eyes a bit whenever ryan does it, but honestly ryan just finds it more adorable than intimidating.

- sometimes after an exhausting day of performing all day, ryan and johnny just go back to their shared small condo and cuddle up with a horror movie.

- popcorn for these two is a must.

- johnny usually just stares at the movie without much emotion on his face (you can’t really tell how he’s feeling) while ryan yelps or shouts at every jumpscare.

- ryan continuously (and at random times) turns to johnny to tell him how cute he is.

- johnny flushes and he gets red and swats at his arm in embarrassment. ryan finds it hilarious and adorable.

- johnny still get nervous with affectionate touches (ryan isn’t too confident with them either).

- so they both slowly take their time making sure they both feel comfortable with it all.

- johnny’s never dated anyone besides ryan before, so sometimes he becomes a complete nervous wreck when they start getting intimate.

- they both decide to cuddle to calm down and get a chance to breathe, promising each other to take it slow.

- they both like stargazing on the roof at night so they do that together when they need some air.

(holy shit i gotta draw something for the last one, hold up.)
