Sarah Paulson Character Headcanons

Skating

Because I got new skates so you better KNOW I'm going be doing loads like this now

How the characters react to you taking them skating

Cordelia Goode

•Falls so much
•Believes the skates are cursed
•Moves two foot and believes she's amazing
•Shocked you can do it
•Constantly grabs onto you for support despite asking for no support
•Totally fucks with your skates for fun and records you face planting the concrete
•Complete baby when she falls on a rock and scrapes her knee but tells everyone at the academy that you tripped her

Mildred Ratched

•Mildred's shitty childhood meant she never got to try things like this
•Falls but picks herself up and tries again and again and again and again
•Practices in the bathroom with your skates when you're not home
•You got her some of her own skates but she prefers yours
•Can't believe how gracefully you can do it
•Loves sitting and just watching you skate in circles
•Asks to hold your hands when she does it in case she falls

Diane Sherman (Chloe isn't paralysed)

•She tries.
•She really does try
•Falls once and then sits to the side the rest of the day
•Totally jealous Chloe can do it though and she can't
•Feels left out when you and Chloe go skating and makes up stupid excuses to join you
•"I have a headache, maybe I should join you for the fresh air" but she says it when you're already sat outside
•You see her watching you and tell Chloe to film you before you pick her up bridal style and skate with her in your arms 
•Screams at you to put her down but doesn't let go when you try to put her down
•Worried one of you will hurt yourselves
•Makes you both take protective equipment
•Knows you won't use the protection but feels better knowing she told you to, so it's not her fault

Audrey Tindall

•"BLOODY HELL HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!" she yelled, watching you skate up and down the driveway
•Begs you for weeks to teach her
•Watches you practise up and down every morning and cheers you on
•Gets annoyed you won't teach her, despite you telling her it takes a lot of practice
•Secretly ordered herself some skates from Amazon
•Tried to do it without you being there
•Broke her wrist in the first hour and never skates again
•"Those things are bloody damn death traps, I don't want you on them anymore."
•Lets you anyway because you look sexy on them

Wilhelmina Venable (but after she's had an operation so she's able to walk without assistance after being a croissant)

•"Absolutely not. I am not getting on those."
•Sees your disappointment after she rejects the new shoes
•Takes the box back and she puts them on but stays safe on the bed
•"No y/n.I'm not standing up. I only learnt to walk last year." Folds her arms like a fucking child
•All it takes is you saying she looks sexy for her to try to stand to prove you wrong
•Grips your arms for dear fucking life
•"Do NOT let me fall!" She almost sobs, trying to skate whilst you pull her along (thank god for your massive bungalow)
•Actually cries when she nearly falls but you catch her
•Claims to only skate if you're with her
•But has tried a few times alone (which you saw on the security cameras and filmed)
•Impeccable posture, surprisingly
•Uses her old cane for support, if you're not at home
•Mortified when you came home one day and she was practising in the hallway with her cane
•Dropped it and instantly skated over to you, without even realising she'd done it perfectly without support
•Cried when she realised she'd done it right and later, you had sex with them on
•You now skate around the house together with your scratched vinyls playing somewhere in the another room
