Hey! People tend to mischaracterize characters ALOT in fandoms, I've even been guilty of this myself, so here's how I think the future au characters would get mischaracterized ^^

DISCLAIMER!
I'm not trying to hate on anyone! This is just for fun!
___________________________________________________________

🎧Dalton🎧

Fanon: depressed boy who thinks about su!cide 24/7

Canon: whilst Dalton DOES have anxiety and depression, that's not his ONLY character trait, and there's more to him then just that

🪦Oliver🪦

Fanon: not really a mischaracterizion, but I feel like the fandom would make SO MANY JOKES about him almost dying CONSTANTLY, or he'd be considered the "voice of reason" of the group

Canon: is only SLIGHTLY smarter than his friends (and it's not by much)

🔆Dylan🔆

Fanon: get reduced to just "girl who wants to bang her friends parents"

Canon: a traumatized child who's confusing her desire for a male parental figure with romantic attraction

🍇Violet🍇

Fanon: UwU soft girl who can't defend herself, that or people would draw her skinny

Canon: whilst she is considered the "sweet one" of the group, she is capable of defending herself, she's also a little buff (not much, but she's got SOME muscle)

🦽Anthony🦽

Fanon: basically non-existent

Canon: is a major part of the friend group

🍓Redgi🍓

Fanon: would either get considered "bland", or get hated on for "getting in the way of other ships"

Canon: has an ACTUAL personality, like...c'mon, there's a REASON why Dalton has a crush on him

🤺Finn🤺

Fanon: would either get hated on for "getting in the way of a ship", or be shipped with Oliver despite not having any romantic feelings for him

Canon: she likes WOMEN guys, she does NOT want Oliver

💄Miranda💄

Fanon: get called a "yandere", or the fandom would think she doesn't actually love Redgi

Canon: genuinely did love Redgi, but in her mind, the cult came first

🫀Andras🫀

Fanon: would probably also get called a "yandere", or the fandom would think he hates Redgi

Canon: actually considers Redgi a friend, and doesn't mind him dating Dalton, all he cares about is that Dalton's happy
