Watch Dogs Headcanons - Animal Quirks/ Symbolisms.

By Aiza Luna :D

Feels like I'm writting a newspaper but nah, just more delulu Aiza journal 😭

Anyways!! Remember when I said I had Headcanons of giving my fav characters animal refs/ symbolisms? Well... Decided to do that today! 🥳

So lemme start with the list! First gonna do with some of the characters from WD1 that got most of my attention/ are more well-known. ( PS: trigger warning for people with Arachnophobia when arriving at Clara's part? Is right under Aiden's, skip if you so wish)

Aiden Pearce - Gray Fox. (Urocyon cinereoargenteus)

Ok, this one is basically common knowledge since we all know that's where his damn nickname comes from lol.

Aiden has a lot of paralels with Gray Foxes, from the round faces, to climbing skills to hunting abilities!

Foxes in general represents Cunniness, Witt, a Sharp Mind and a Dubious Morality with it's Trickstery Nature. However, Gray Foxes represent neutrality, a symbol of maturity, but also sadness and indecisiveness... That sounds familiar, does it? It fits Aiden's description awfully well!

For my HC of his mannerism:

- When Aiden was younger, he used to climb trees all the time back at Belfast. His mom used to yell at him afraid he would fall. ( Wich he did. A lot actually.)

- Like a fox, he has great hearing, detecting easily when people are approaching by.

- He loves fruit (He likes Strawberry Shortcake and Banana Cake) and meat! Although he rarely has time to cook for himself and relies heavily on fast food, he is an enjoyer of chicken and hare meats!

- When Aiden manages to sleep without stress (in very rare occasions), he tend to sleep curled up under his sheets without noticing.

- He has a strong smell. When not because of his constant exercises running after criminals, is because of his wooden deodorant + his trench coat of leather. lol

(Like even after showering, his smell is not bad, just strong than usual.)

- His face is secretly very sensible. If he shaves his face and gets touched their somehow, he'll shiver and recoil bc that's a VERY sensitive face. Even with his stubbles, he can easily feel the texture and touch of someone on his cheeks, like a fox with it's whiskers. 🥺

Clara Lille - Trapdoor Spider! (Liphistius malayanus)

This one is also, once again, common knowledge! I mean, she's called like that in game- lol

Our dear Badboy17, the tattoo girlboss herself, it's pretty obvious where the spider parallels go with Clara: Her lethality, how she work in the dark, carefully using the web in her favor... But is there more to it? 🤔

Spiders represent the Resilience, Unseen Danger and the Connectedness.

All those meanings fit Clara perfect: She's connected to many things, Aiden, the Club, Dedsec... She works in the dark corners, weaving her web of connections and the benefits she can get of it. Similarly, she is an unseen danger, a person that can discover everything about others without them even suspecting, and using that against them... But she's also Resilient. Despite her connections and actions, she weaved her own path to redemption on helping Aiden, to try to fix her mistake and make amends for her past actions... And much like a spider, she was easily killed, because while Spiders are easy to disappear from our sight, people won't think twice about killing them if they're considered a "threat" to them...

For my HC of her mannerisms:

- Clara is excelent with handscraft: Eletronics, Art, Sewing... She's great at anything that requires hand work since she's very precise and perfectionist.

- She's into Urban Exploration! She loves to find dark, abandoned and hidden places left in urban areas, specially if they have some connection to Blume as a bonus.

- One of her favorite foods is Sushi! Is quick, pratical and she just like fishes. (One of Trapdoor Spiders prey 🥰)

- Is not afraid of insects but doesn't like them at all, will either kill or try to take them away from the place, if the insect is harmless.

- Clara has pretty good instinct, mostly reflex in near-body combat, but she rarely displays them since she rarely needs to fight someone nowdays or is caught offguard by gunned opponents.

- She is a solitary person, in the sense that she stays hidden in her little corner and rarely gets out with others, aside for working at the tatto studio she works on. :')

Jordi Chin - Korat Cat. (Felis Catus)

This one was suggested by @paul-poppy-art but I think everyone here agrees Jordi gives major cat energy. XD

Our favorite Fixer is funny, odd and sarcastic lovable sociopathic asshole and we all know it, but saying out loud, that does fit the description of a cat! 😂

Cats are hunters, and their symbolism is mostly tied to Indenpendence, Inteligence and Mystery, this fits Jordi perfect.

A man that works indenpendely, his only criteria is who pays more, wich will be more advanteging to him. An Inteligent and calculative killer that always has a plan in mind and a mysterious person whose' past we know nothing about! Still, he stays by Aiden's side and display his affection in a more non-verbal way (like a cat lol)

For my HC of his mannerisms:

- He has a pretty light walking, you can't hear him comming behind you... Wich is either very dangerous or annoying, depending on your situation.

- Jordi is incredibly sensitive to his surroundings and always knows what is happening around him. You can't surprise him, you simply can't.

- When not working, he tends to stay layed down or sit a lot, like a "big lazy cat". lol

- Is a clean freak. Likes to keep all his work and himself the most well-presented her can. He absolutely despite Aiden's lack of self-care. 😭

- Has extremily good reflexes and flexibility, if he gets to you, you're Fcked. (proof is at WD2)

- Is not a verbal type of guy to express his feelings, but more of the type of doing small gestures to the people he cares for. He brings them food as one of his love languages.

(Kinda like when a cat brings a bird at home to "feed their human". lol)

T-Bone Grady - Bearded Collie Dog. (Canis Lupus Familiaris)

Now is turn for the legendary Hacker Dilf himself!! 🥳

Honestly T-Bone was both easy and hard because well... His name. XD

I struggled a Lot with what race he could be, but looking a bit up, I think Bearded Collie would fit like a glove! For his character design, mostly. 😂

Dogs symbolism is tied to Loyalty, Fidelity, Alertness and Protection.

We see this a lot on T-Bone, he won't hesitate to attack to defend himself, although to his friend's he's loyal and always watch over them and their safety.

(Him trying to reach Aiden to alert him in the Bad Blood DLC) and of course, him always being in alert for Fixers after him.

My personal HCs for his mannerisms:

- Will occasionally pace around or throw/ destruct somethings if too stressed.

- Spend a lot of time on his hair and beared, and tends to let some hair strings behind.

(like a true big furred dog lol)

- Like the Bearded Collie breed, T-Bone doesn't usually "bark", he bites first.

(See his meeting with Aiden-)

- Can't really stay inside for too long, gets easily bored and just generally hates being idly by.

- Is curious and enjoys a challenge, this old a-hole will take anything to unlock areas/ information that no one else has access to.

(See his Wiki)

- Will always be around the people he cares for, like, physically. He follows/ stays around his friends like a dog with his owner. 😭

(Shows much more Physical Display of Affection out of the main Trio tbh)

Nicole Anne Pearce - Bumblebee. (Bombus)

HEAR ME OUT OK? The patterns on her shirt and her color palette reminded me so much of a Bumblebee! 😭

They're so chonky and floofy! Tell me Nicky ain't cute like them? 🥺🥹

Bumblebees symbolises Hardwork, Productivity, New Beginings and the Importance of a Community! I think those describes Nicole very well!

She's a hard-working single mother providing for her child(ren), her job as an Event Planner reminds me of the systematic work system of bees! Her community (family) is extremily important to her and she fought for their best... Unfortunetly, she had to re-start her life after everything that happened in WD, so all the animal symbolisms fit her character very well. :')

My personal HC for her mannerisms:

- She has the habit of "hum" while working, doing chores or running errands.

(Like the buzz of a bee lol)

-Nicky loves flowers but she doesn't have a garden since she rarely has time to dedicate to it. :')

-She loves honey! And she used to eat a lot of honey-made when she was a kid! 🥰

- Woman can't stay still, she's always moving around trying to do things: Chores, return calls, etc. Aiden used o joke she was "too much of a busy bee".

- She has a pretty characteristic floral smell. Almost all her house smell likes a garden, always with a floral hint in the air.

(Aiden used to find it comforting whenever he visited her and the kids.)

And that's it for today!! There are still missing some other characters from WD1 I still wanted to correlate to animal symbolisms, but this already long af 🥲

I'll (MAYBE) post a part II about the other characters I wanted to associate + another part talking about WD2 characters and their animal symbolisms I Headcanon them with 🥰

Anyways, thank you all so much for reading my delulu ramble, love you all 🙏🏽🩵

[mixed-game-nerd]

(Teenage Aiden and Nicky)

Aiden: People have been bullying you at school, I'm goin to teach you how to stand up to them.

Nicky: But I don't want to fight anyone...

Aiden: Look, just say something mean to me, give me your best shot.

Nicky: uhm, your face is stupid.

Aiden: ...ahhh ohhh im so hurt

Nicky: AH NO I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN IT

Aiden: No that's the point-

Sydney Olympics featured our own drag show 24 years ago

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/sydney-olympics-featured-our-own-drag-show-24-years-ago/

Sydney Olympics featured our own drag show 24 years ago

Footage of Sydney’s own Olympics drag show from our closing ceremony in 2000 has resurfaced after the homophobic backlash to the Paris Games.

For more than four days, Christians and other conservatives have been up in arms that during the Paris opening ceremony, a group of French performers dared to recreate Leonardi da Vinci’s The Last Supper while queer.

Aussies are now also reminiscing on the last time we hosted the Olympics, in Sydney in 2000.

At the closing ceremony in Sydney, dozens of Australian drag performers join the loud and colourful parade around the stadium. The drag float was a tribute to The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Sydney 2000 closing ceremony had drag queens driving heels in a tribute to Priscilla FYI pic.twitter.com/QYMFvSLrdx

— adam (@adamjmoussa) July 26, 2024

Forty-six of Sydney’s top drag queens were approached and cast in the performance, putting on original gowns and costumes from the 1994 queer classic.

A recreated Priscilla bus was also part of the parade, and during the closing ceremony, performers attached giant lashes to the buses’ windscreen.

Drag queen Vanessa Wagner rode atop a giant pink wig on the Priscilla bus.

Out in front, drag performers pedalled the iconic giant high heel shoe bicycles.

The Priscilla float in the Sydney 2000 closing ceremony was one of a few that celebrated Aussie films.

It followed Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan, who was surrounded by Australian animal costumes as he rode atop a giant Akubra hat.

‘The homosexual capital of the world’

The drag queens’ involvement in the Sydney closing ceremony – which also featured Kylie Minogue – was kept very hush-hush.

Olympics bosses announced it around three weeks before the Games began, and at the time, there was backlash.

Callers raged to conservative talkback radio stations that a Priscilla show was “endorsing a gay lifestyle”.

Church leaders and far-right politicians warned it could make Sydney the “homosexual capital of the world.”

“This blatant condoning of a public homosexual display during the closing ceremony will not enhance the Olympic Games nor Australia as host to the Games,” NSW MP Reverend Fred Nile said in 2000.

“Homosexual and lesbian behaviour is not a true representation of Australian culture and lifestyle.

“Drag queens do not truly represent our great Aussie culture at all.”

In reality, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was a box office hit and became an Australian classic. The film is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

The movie is returning to cinemas in September. It now has a popular outback drag festival dedicated to it. A highly-anticipated sequel is in development 30 years later.

In just under a decade, Brisbane will bring the Olympics back to Australia in 2032. Bring back the shoe bicycles!

The Gold Coast hosted the Commonwealth Games in 2018. At Surfers Paradise during the Games, Courtney Act hosted an entire concert dedicated to drag queens and queer performers.

After reconnecting with Jacks in London…and staying for a little longer to help rebuild London’s Dedsec….and maybe spending a little more time hunting down Mary Kelley and Zero Day….Aiden Pearce decides to hunt down his sister, to apologize. So he can finally, and fully, move on from Lena.

Aiden’s once calm hands were violently shaking as he reached to knock on the apartment door. Back in London, he gave it up…the stoic, vengeful, ‘badass’ personality. He still felt like he had little to nothing left without being The Fox.

He knew himself as the Fox. As Aiden alone…he was lost and confused.

But he was ready to venture into the unknown. He had taken down dictators, mob bosses, all alone. He could apologize to his sister— this time he would do it right.

His scarred knuckles hit against the wood as he knocked. He backed away, fixing his faded, button-up shirt.

The door handle twisted before the door pulled open. Aiden watched as his little sister was slowly revealed behind it.

“…Aiden?” She spoke slowly, in shock and disbelief. "Nicky.." He slowly approached the doorway. "Jackson told me..you're...." She looked up at him. She had tears in her eyes. She missed her brother, but also she wanted to slap him, and call him every name she could think of. Because he left her and Jackson when they needed him. Aiden's head tilted, his sunken eyes glazed over with sadness. "I missed you," He was the myth, the boogeyman, the Fox, the vigilante, Aiden Pearce...and yet that was all he could muster right now without crying. "I missed you too, Aiden." She instinctively went to hug him. Aiden wasn't one to show emotion, she thought, but when she felt his arms wrap around her tight she realized his entire demeanor had changed. He didn't let go. She didn't dare let go first either. Both of them wanted this- no, they needed to have this hug. They didn't need to say any words. They both knew what they were going to say if they spoke anyways. I love you. I missed you. I'll never (let you) leave again.

--------------------------

“When is he coming!?” Lena asked. Her face pressed against the window, smudging the window with her hot breath against the coldness that the winter brought. Luckily, this year it wasn’t as cold, but it was still pretty chill that one must require a jacket to wear outside. She only pulled away, bringing her favorite stuff animal with her, to look at her mother, who was preparing for the ultimate Christmas dinner. She was cooking and baking all day as well as the previous day as well. Both the kids lend a helping hand as best as they can, even if they weren’t much help.

The entire house was decorated with Christmas decoration. So beautiful. Not like the one in downtown where there were wonderful lights to look at. Lena hoped that her promise was kept and she could be taken to see those lights, even if she couldn’t hop and bounce like she usually does. After the car accident, she was injured and had to be have a close eye on. A proper recovery that is. Even now, she couldn’t move too much without causing pain, but that didn’t stop her from smiling and being excited for the day. Everyone would be gathered for the day, being all joyful. 

Lena turned back to the window, still looking for her uncle. Looking for the familiar car that would pull up and the familiar face showing up. One that brighten up her day. Unfortunately, she could feel a silvery of disappointment flooding her at the mere thought of not being able to run outside to her uncle and greeting him with a tackle hug. 

“He will be here soon,” her mother hummed, loudly. The sound of pots moving around to be arranged properly and making room on the counter of the kitchen.

For who knows how long, she had sat there, watching outside and waiting. While her mother continued to prepare and double checked that everything was okay, her brother would come up and try to entertain her. Not for long though. Her attention kept pulling away from Jackson to the outside world, filled with gray clouds and neighbors with their families and friends coming over. Although the Pearce family would have invited their own friends if they weren’t busy themselves, they would happy to have themselves as well. 

Each car that passed tugged at Lena’s heart, hoping that her uncle would show up. Then, finally, the familiar car showed up. Forgetting that she couldn’t move too much, Lena moved on her feet. The pain halting her in her tracks before she shook it off and slowly moved to the door. The worried looks being given by her brother and her mother were ignored. Instead, pure joy spread across her face. Even before the car could be locked and the knock could be heard, the door was flown open. Lena moved to hug her uncle. 

----------------------

“Present time! Present time!” Lena exclaimed. She placed her fork on her empty plate, stained by the food she just finished. With Jackson all finished and everyone else about to finish up, the only thing on Lena’s mind is present. So, she moved to her feet, ready to take her plate to the sink. Even if she couldn’t reach the sink, she could place her dishes on the edge of the counter. Before she could do anything with her plate, her mother came, taking the plate away. The bright smile on her lips sent excitement up and down Lena’s body. This pushed her to go for the present, taking slow steps towards the massive Christmas tree they got that year.
