IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Jonathan "Than" Getslinhaumer Age: 16 Canon:The Most Popular Girls in School Canon Point: Episode 23 Species: Human Gender: Male Orientation: IDEFK. He's sorta canonly gay. Even though he insists he isn't. Currently he's dating Brittnay Matthews, so you could make the case that he's bi, and he's hung around Shay van Buren too. But no, he's gay. He's just in denial. Cause he kissed Tanner and seems to have repressed boners for him. By the end of season two, he doesn't think he's gay... So let's just say he's open opportunity.
History: Than honestly doesn't do much in terms of plot, only appearing in twelve of the thirty episodes so far, but his appearance is usually A Big Deal. At least for him.
We first see Than in episode four, where he hangs out rather suspiciously in the boys locker room while the football team prepares to hit the showers. While Than's modus operandi is supposed to come off as cool and badass, it only comes off as creepy. The conversation he has with the football team leads them to believe he's gay, though he denies it passionately. Later, after being completely ostracized by the football team, he starts crying because he has no friends, crying even more when he's told not to stare at the football team's butts when they go to hit the showers.
Than disappears until episode twelve, where he escorts one of the popular girls, Shay Van Buren, to prom. He tries to be chummy with the football team but is again rebuked. He spends most of the prom alone, in fact, watching the football team perform a One Direction son in episode thirteen and quietly pining.
Than's next appearance is in episode sixteen is again in the boys locker room. The football team tries to explain how his gay double entendres aren't double entendres, but Than denies it and boasts that he can have any girl he wants. He then approaches Brittnay Matthews, a cheerleader, and awkwardly propositions her for sex. She somehow agrees via his unintentional reverse psychology tactic under a single stipulation: he can only put his penis in her butthole (which he readily agrees to).
He apparently charms Brittnay enough that she wants to keep him around. He accompanies her to the mall in episode eighteen even though she quickly tries to ditch him and joins her banging his head against a locker in episode nineteen.
They go on a date in episode twenty-three to see a Ryan Gosling movie. While Brittnay is in the bathroom, he encounters one of the football players on a date with his gay partner. He doesn't notice when they tiptoe around his sexuality, not even realizing that they're a couple or what they mean by calling Brittnay his beard. He leaves them on an awkward note, following Brittnay to see the movie.
Appearance:Check it out. He's a Mattel 2011 Barbie Fashionistas Wave 2 Cutie Ken ftr.
Personality: Than desperately wants to be popular. He's always seen wearing aviator glasses and a blazer with no shirt, all part of his "bad boy" appearance. He hangs around the football team and only bothers associating with popular girls. He goes to great lengths to maintain his appearance of cool badass and has a strong urge to adhere to the perceptions of popular, but that's all they are: appearances.
Thing is, Than fails miserably at being popular — and apparently has been since the third grade. Everybody becomes exasperated when they see him, disassociates themselves from him, or outright tells him to kill himself. He cries about having no friends and even has to nickname himself in order to have a nickname at all. He calls himself Than instead of Jon and gets upset whenever anybody calls him Jonathan or any variant that isn't Than. (Apparently he tried to nickname himself Uncle Jesse from Full House but nobody got the reference or would play along.)
It's because he tries so hard that he fails so bad. He either thinks too hard about what he's going to say or says it before he thinks it through, leading him to explain himself to the point of being an awkward mess. He doesn't get sarcasm, explains his jokes because nobody laughs at them, and always retorts with bad comebacks. He's blunt and forward which wouldn't necessarily be bad things if he didn't say the absolutely wrong thing at the single most wrong moment.
Part of the reason he's so awkward is because, at this point in the canon, he denies and hasn't realized and/or accepted his sexuality. He thinks he's completely straight, which becomes an issue when he wants to take a shower with the football team or becomes curious at any mention of butts or potential dude-on-dude action. He is eager to learn about gay sex but tries to appear disgusted at the idea. He's not subtle about it. At all. He says a lot of things that sound like an invitation to gay sex but denies any intention of meaning it. In fact, he says and does a lot of things that lead others to believe he's gay without realizing it himself. (See: "I'm the asshole! Just fuck me!")
He doesn't just repress himself though. Than has to go and be a homophobic prick about it most of the time. Despite the fact he goes around coming onto guys, he gets all huffy the second it seems like gay sex is about to happen and blames it on the other person. He's pretty rude with his relationships with girls too, though you'd think they'd get what's wrong with him since he cries at just the sight of vaginas. He's that gay.
Than probably tries to deny any part of himself that is attracted to men because it doesn't adhere to the image of popularity he has. (Later in episode thirty he announces that he was only pretending to be gay in order to fit in, even though he actively seeks out glory holes and other gay men.) He gets extremely shocked when meeting popular gay guys or gay couples in general. Outside sexuality, Than's so desperate to fit in that he quietly accepts everything. He leaves when people tell him to and badly tries to play things off even when they bother him. He's actually a sensitive guy who just wants to be a cool kid, but he'll settle for anybody who isn't obviously disgusted with him.
You'd think he'd pack up his bags and accept the rejection after all the hate, but it only makes him all the more tenacious. Whether it's continuing to shout after his Tanner who tries to ignore his existence or consistently showing up to the boys locker room even though he's been told to stay out, Than doesn't take no for an answer. Which kinda makes him a dick. And it doesn't help that he tends to blurt out insensitive or gross things.
While it's likely that he attended prom with Shay Van Buren just to boost his popularity and because he didn't want to go alone, it appears that his relationship with Brittnay is more sincere. While they originally hooked up with nothing more intended, they later start dating. He does a lot for her without asking anything in return: he joins her when she bangs her head against a locker without even asking why she's doing it, agrees to leave her alone when she asks for it, and lets her use his wallet to buy anything she wants on dates. As Brittnay points out, they have a lot in common: they both like Ryan Gosling movies and hate the football team. They also both like men. Yeah, it's complicated.
Abilities: None. He's a regular human. Barbie. Thing. Unless you count gay double entendres as an ability. They totally are. Other: He can ride a unicycle without a seat, he loves all the episodes of Full House, and Magic Mike is his Bible, jsyk.
SAMPLES First Person: [video]
The name's Than. I'm looking for my girlfriend. My totally hot, not-a-dude girlfriend. You've probably seen her. Wears a cheerleader uniform, kinda loud, about this tall, and, uh, she curses a lot. Like, all the time. Did I mention she's my girlfriend and totally hot? And a girl. 100% girl. Trust me, I've seen her girl parts and they're... [shuddering] Gross! I mean, hot!
Oh yeah, one more thing! There's been something that's bothering me. Some of these houses have dudes in the houses and it's like they're dude-married. It's, like, whoa! Right? Dudes married to dudes! Married? More like...gay!
Anyway... If anybody has seen my girlfriend, give me a ring. Or not! Hey, if you just want to hang out or something, that's cool too. We could totally hit up the gym and take a shower together. You know, guy stuff! So, how about it?
Third Person: Than was quickly realizing that people in Holly Heights were nothing like people in Overland Park. He walks up to a guy in the shower and asks if it would be alright if he joined, only to get a shocked expression before the man scuffles away with a mysterious grin.
Which is weird, now that Than thinks about it. A smile like that, was the guy trying to come onto him? Cool. Er, no! Weird! And gross! Than isn't sure how he feels about that but it totally isn't good. The guy was definitely weird, especially his reaction, and Than felt weird about it right back at him.
At least guys in Overland Park talked to him about it. He'd like to think he had a good relationship with the guys, like he could talk to them about anything. They were friends, right? Yeah, totally... Best friends...
"Man, I miss those guys," he muses to nobody in particular. He thinks of Tanner and suddenly it feels like the water's become much hotter.
OTHER Housing Request?: None! Did you read the rules and FAQ?: Aye, aye, capt'n! o9 Would you like your application to be unscreened?: Unscreened is A-OK.
