i really just love the idea of shauna with a full head of curls refusing to wear dresses and being the biggest tomboy, getting scraped up and bruised and in trouble at every opportunity she can manage
gus is her best friend and he just wants things to be neat and nice just like his parents taught him but shauna is the one that teaches him to have fun and he loves her like a sister, except he kind of dislikes his actual sister so maybe like a limb or red gummie bears or something.
madeline is all worried about shauna acting out and her mental development but honestly henry just wants his kid safe and happy and if also she’d stop causing trouble at school that’d be great
so shauna is seven years old, her mop of curls a tangled mess as she sits pouting on the front steps when henry comes home, and his kid is never quiet and rarely still so he’s immediately concerned. and shauna tells him matter of factly that she’s a boy and she wants to cut her hair and to be called shawn and henry flounders for a moment because either this is a phase or it isn’t, and his first thought it all the transwomen who’ve turned to to sex work and he’s found dead in ditches, then that having a son might make him worry less than having a daughter, and lastly that if he messes this up and stunts his kids mental growth or whatever that madeline will kill him, so he just goes “okay” and shawn hugs him tight and is nearly vibrating in excitement as his dad cuts off all his hair.
I’m not crying are
