Hey y'all!Thanks so much for your support and patience. I decided now would be a good time to post the Dylan head canons I promised a while back! There's not too many but they're fun, so thanks for the suggests! Hope you like it!
(Btw: Yes, I am working on the next chapter—if you remember anything about the last episode of season 3, you'll understand why it's taking me so effing long. I WILL posit, I swear!)

Dylan is Mike's scary dog privilege to walk alone at night
....Or at any time of the day really because after one tiny incident where someone made fun of Mike and Dylan rammed their head into a locker, everyone knows not to mess with either of them
Dylan is a really good cook as discovered when Mike asks him who made the food for their date and he said he did. Mike is skeptical so Dylan starts to cook in front of Mike and watching him cook becomes one of his favourite things to do. Mike often brags about how good Dylan's food is to their friends so they demand to try it but Mike becomes pouty because it's no longer their special thing. So Dylan, ever the doting simp, tells Mike he'll make him extra special meals
And man do I love this. In honesty, Dylan can't actually cook anywhere above average (mostly because he doesn't care enough to learn, but if he did, he'd be great at it), but there are a couple of dishes that for some reason, he is amazing at making (comment any ideas of what you think those should be).
Mike wants to learn how to skateboard but is too embarrassed to ask Dylan so he asks Max instead (which takes a lot from his pride, but he does it). Dylan later offers to teach Mike to skateboard, only to be surprised that's he's already learned.
And trust me, Dylan would definitely be impressed by his skills (i use that word very lightly), as well as amused that Mike learned from someone else because he was too embarrassed to ask.
Mike: Sorry I'm late I was doing stuff
Dylan: *walks in nonchalantly* I'm stuff.
Even though Mike is 176% a total bottom, this ones still pretty funny
Mike is not a good flirter in any way, shape, or form, so their friends don't understand why Dylan practically swoons at his flirts all the time.
And there's a simple answer for this: Dylan is a simp, and a hopeless one at that. Mike's mere existence practically turns him on, so if Mike were to be good at flirting, Dylan would fucking combust. So let's just be grateful he's bad at it, yeah?
Mike and Dylan have frequent movie nights together
Dylan isn't much of a movie buff, but he is a Mike one, so he'll sit through tons of films just to see the excited and happy looks on Mike's face as they watch. And even though his Sense more or less ruins it since their acting, no matter how good, is never enough to deceive it, but he'll watch them and talk about them just to make Mike smile.
Mike is the overprotective, overbearing one in the relationship
Now despite what my fanfic conveys, I don't actually see Mike as usually overbearing. However, they are both fiercely protective of one another, so much so that you cannot compare who is more or less. Only, Dylan is better at masking it. See, if he thinks someone is a threat or a bother to Mike, he won't show much of a reaction. But Dylan is ALWAYS alert and he ALWAYS knows what's up. So if you so much as consider bothering Mike in whichever way, he will 100% find a way to remove you from his life. Permanently. In any possible way. Let's just say your not coming out unscathed (this behaviour is also inclined to the rest of their friends, just slightly less so. You have a better chance of being killed if you mess with Mike).
Dylan plays DnD with Mike and the gang, even though he hasn't a clue what's going on or how to play. But he does it for Mike.
As we all know, our boy is a simp, so of course he plays DnD for Mike (Will too because Dylan cares a great deal for his friends and likes it when Will smiles cause it doesn't happen as much as he used to). Now he could pick up the game easily if he tried but when Dylan's mind finds something will take up too much energy to try and figure out, he'll just deem it unnecessary (which is why he's always shit at being able to decipher why people emote they way they do about specific things—read: dumb things). But he loves how much Mike gets into the game and always enjoys hearing him narrate.
Mike frequently gets jealous of girls at school who flirt and crush on Dylan because he's (obviously) attractive.
Completely canon. Mike could and would get jealous of a goddamn rock if it was so much as leaning towards Dylan so it's not surprising that he harbours a deep resentment for the fawning girls at their school. It's not like Dylan is oblivious of their feelings towards him: it's just that 1. They aren't Mike, 2. Gross, and 3. He doesn't care. So he ignores them. But it never fails to amuse him how easily Mike can get jealous of the attention that's set on him.
They share a dorm in college and don't like each other at first. But then they get to know each other online and genuinely start to like one another and when they decide to meet up in person it's super awkward
Lmao I actually read a fanfic like this once. It was fun. And FYI, if this were to happen, the arguments and disagreements would be 100% one sided on Mike's behalf because Dylan gives absolutely no fucks about people who may waste his time and energy with petty arguments.
Their friends see them fighting and start to worry only to realize they're arguing about something completely ridiculous
Again, this would be completely one sided because Mike would be annoyed that Dylan would nonchalantly ridicule or dismiss him and his stupid ideas and/or topic and Dylan would be secretly entertained about getting Mike riled up over something so small.
Mike gets stood up on a date and Dylan steps in pretending to be said date.
Sorry i was too lazy to write the full thing, but I think it's a super cute idea!
Mike goes through and intense wave of depression and instead of comforting him, Dylan's just like "yeah, I feel you fam."
Oml, this one is soooooo funny 🤣. But in all seriousness, if Mike was so much as frowning, Dylan would be doting on him like it was his birthright to do so. Anything to make his boy happy again.
Dylan tries to teach Mike to throw knives.
Okay, since Mike is incompetent enough to concuss himself by tripping over a shoelace this is 100% NOT Dylan's idea. Actually, Mike practically begs him to teach him and since Dylan has a hard time saying no to him, he reluctantly agrees. The first try Mike has ends up with him throwing the knife a good seven feet away from the actual target and it ricochets back towards his head. Dylan catches it in time and does not, under any circumstances, let Mike near his knives again.
A series of them pranking each other but only Dylan's ever works so Mike gives up.
Lmao this is cute. Honestly, Dyl ain't one for pranks. If he wants to mess with you, he wouldn't set up a trap in wait: he'd waltz over to your and just do it. But I can imagine his group of friends teaming up with Mike to try and prank him only for it to epically fail each time.
What if they find a stray dog or cat and take it in?
If this were to happen, Dustin would definitely pester Dylan into telling him what the dog is saying/feeling (I'd imagine a dog) because Dylan can communicate through emotions, and consistently ignores how Dylan tiredly explains to him that emotions feel different in every living thing and it's much harder to decipher words/feelings from animal emotions than in humans. It usually ends with Dylan giving up and feeding Dustin false info about the animal so he'll get off his back. Also Mike would definitely be the pet's momma. That boy's maternal instincts that he was never supposed to have comes out immensely.
They're both scared of butterflies or ladybugs
Lol I like this one. Honestly, everything with a pulse should fear Dylan, but for some reason, bugs unnerve him. It's probably because the tinnier size of a creature, the harder it's sense is to detect. Idk he's not afraid of them but they do canonically bother him. Mike finds it funny though.
Mike and Dylan meet up with their friends at Scoops Ahoy
Mike: *glares at Dylan* My legs hurt and it's your fault
Dylan: *shrugs and smirks before going back to eating his ice cream*
Lucas: *wiggling his eyebrows* Why?
Mike: *turns red, too embarrassed to say*
Everyone: *laughs, thinking they did the do*
In reality: Mike and Dylan went to a trampoline gym doing flips and having jumping contests for three hours
*Cue Billy in the background choking on his ice cream and ready to strangle the life out of Mike*
Dylan teaches Mike how to cook since the boy cannot try to do so without setting off the fire alarm each time
Lmao this ones cute I like it. Super accurate too, I headcanon that Mike is a lousy cook.
Mike is jealous because girls are flirting with Dylan in front of him and trying to seduce him
Lmaooo this is 100% true because girls drool over Dylan. But again, they disgust Dylan because they're not Mike and also, ew, so he always either stares them down with disdain and ignores their existence, or completely turns them down in the most brutal way because that's just who Dylan is. And it always makes Mike super happy (and amused).
Mike is the little spoon when they cuddle
Oh, absolutely. 100%. It's mostly because Dylan likes to keep Mike in his arms so that he knows that nothing can get to him without him knowing and that he's safe. And Mike finds this cute so he doesn't mind teehee.
Dylan is the type to say "I love you" at random times and it gets Mike all flustered
Omg, I love this. Since Dylan is known for not giving a fuck, shamelessly professing his love for Mike at random fits him very well. And yes, Mike would definitely be bashful about that, lol.
Heyyyyy. That's all for now. Thanks for all the suggests and lemme know if you want me to do this again!
Also.....Would y'all....Like a character sheet....On Dylan? Cause I thought of making a chapter explaining things about him. Or would y'all like a Q&A with my OC? Cause I can make that happen. Just lemme know!
Anyways, gotta go because I'm kinda writing this in the middle of class....granted it's a creative writing class but still. Love y'all!
