This. So very much what I tend to headcanon about them. (Reminder for mysef:  write down all that headcannon stuff. One day I will. Surely)

Headcanon

One important thing about my version of Simcoe is that he’s actually good friends with Andre. He’s friends with Andre, Tarleton, and de Lancey (the first two are true to history, the last one is inferred because de Lancey and Andre were friends). He enjoys spending time with them and doing the usual activities that soldiers do together; drink, gamble, play games, and make a mess of where ever they are (though Andre is the one that tends to clean up after them).

It’s also important to know that while Simcoe can be very vicious, this version is not vicious without cause. If he’s suspicious of someone, for whatever reason, he can easily be as ruthless as his Turn counterpart.

Simcoe also happens to have a soft spot for children and he ends up having nine children with his wife, Elizabeth Posthuma Simcoe. In his years during the Revolution, he wasn’t exactly a good with kids but he wasn’t a bad influence. He was just a bit awkward.

Pure gold.

I’ve just discovered Neyposting.

Ok ok so a continuation of my post a while back about Simcoe and Harry Lee. Well the reason why Simcoe and his men pretended to be Harry Lee and his men specifically was because they shared similar green uniforms. But at the same time, Simcoe and Harry respected each other and at one point, Harry actually sent him a letter with an exclamation mark in it which I think is a big deal.

Anyway, Simcoe and his men got a kick out of pretending to be Americans and when people were like “so why are those guys in your unit dressed in red?” they were like “oh, yeah those are our French officers” AND THESE CIVILIANS DIDN’T KNOW ANY BETTER SO THEY ACCEPTED IT.

My personal favorite was when these two guys approached Simcoe who was posing as Harry Lee and the one guy was like “oh yeah, my son is in your unit!” and gossiped about the American movements. Then when they were like “so, what do you think Clinton will do?”, Simcoe’s dramatic ass replied something along the lines of “you may ask him yourself, for we are the British”. LIKE GOD, I LOVE THIS MAN.
