Part fan fiction, part wishful thinking, here’s a Where Are They Now? that explores what our favorite characters are doing right now.

For just a minute, I’m going to ask you suspend what you know about the laws of time and space to explore this Where Are They Now? piece. Just for as long as it takes you to read this article, just imagine that you can pick up with these characters that left us, and you can look into what the world holds for them now. It’s fun. I promise.

I’ll admit, I”m not a physicist, so I can’t explain how Lucille Ball can exist in the same space/time continuum as Tim Riggins. However, I am a fan, and as such, I am often left wondering what my favorite characters are doing now. And by “now” I mean, “what did they do after they left me, and how are they carrying on now?”

Below is a selection of shows, in which I’ve considered what the characters are doing now. It’s obviously wild conjecture and fantasy fulfillment, but it’s a comfort to imagine them going on with their lives, continuing to be these characters to infinity. It’s really a beautiful sentiment – to think they’re always out there, living out their lives.

What did I get wrong? How do you see these characters today?
