#I KNOW I PROBABLY HAVE TEN BILLION HEADCANONS but im so bad at just pulling them out of my mind on command lmao

tell me your favorite Sammy headcannon, and if you have any angsty ones, i would love to hear them :D

i mean my FAVOURITE Sammy headcanon isn't news to anyone following this blog! It's the headcanon that he was in a (emotionally unhealthy) intimate relationship with Joey Drew. It's one of the first ideas that really drew me in to explore these characters myself, and while currently it seems very plausible in canon, it's the headcanon I'm least likely to let go of if later developments joss it.

Other favourite headcanons include:

- "Sammy is one of those people who clicks pens constantly but if anyone else does it he gets really mad" was a headcanon I read on someone else's blog and I love how ridiculously specific and yet extremely correct this is

- "Sammy had a hand in the deaths of everyone he cared about" is my favourite Headcanon That's Likely To Be Jossed, if it isn’t already. When I was first getting into the franchise and hadn't started scouring the timeline yet, it just made sense that Joey had gotten Sammy to kick Susie off the part in order to make her emotionally fragile enough that he could swoop in and convince her to do the toon ritual, and I really liked the idea that Sammy had... kind of known about the scheme, but participated anyway because he was so tangled up with Joey that he wasn’t willing to challenge him. I was ALSO a big fan of Sammy being the one to sacrifice Jack, since I really liked the idea of Jack's fatal flaw kind of being that he watched a guy he loved and cared about get worse and worse but Never Spoke Up, that walls built up between them, and ink-addled Sammy’s desperate attempt to reconnect ended up being Murder. But with the pieces we have now..... it doesn't seem like any of this is likely to be Sammy's fault; timelines don't add up, wHICH IS A SHAME. Both of these are still true for Escape AU for now, though.

- Sammy's worship of Bendy was genuine, the ink didn't take control of him or abruptly change his personality -- the ink definitely played a role in what happened to his brain, but I never liked the idea that the ink just flipped a switch that made him "go crazy," like, he did lose his mind, but I much prefer the idea that on some level he really let himself believe it, deluded himself until he believed it, became terrified of the idea of doubting it, and on some level found himself caught up in a cult the same way anyone else does. "Leftover religious trauma/compulsions" is a big part of Escape Sammy's deal.

- Various musical headcanons: Sammy can read music just by looking at it, in the sense that he can look at a sheet of music and immediately understand what it sounds like without having to play it. Sammy also doesn't get songs stuck in his head because he can imagine any other song in such clarity that it's easy to dislodge a catchy tune (the songs the ink gave him were a strange exception).

okay THATS ALL THATS COMING TO MIND AT THE MOMENT so there’s..... SOME HEADCANONS
