#Pretending your headcanons are canon

[alexandraisyes]

The cutest reminder ever that the way family works in TSAMS canon is that two parties have to be in mutual agreement that they are family. If one party doesn't agree then they aren't family. Parties can revoke familial ties whenever they want and that means they are no longer family.

"Code Relation" theory is stupid because you're then implying that Eclipse is Sun and Moon's child. Which he isn't. Or that Killcode is somehow Moon's child and his brother at the same time that he's Eclipse, Lunar and Bloodmoon's "father" at the same time that they're Sun and Moon's grand children. Like, we're seeing the issue here, right?

Don't make things more complicated than it has to be. Just accept the fact that family is literally determined by a verbal agreement between two animatronics and nothing else because none of them were born from wombs. That means respecting canon when characters in canon decide that they aren't comfortable being family (like Eclipse) or just straight-up disown everyone (like Bloodmoon). It's okay to have headcanons, but don't try to push them onto canon.

I just think it'd be funny if post canon Ritsu and Reigen develop a brotherly relationship <3 together with the rest of the S&S crew and Shou and Teru they form the most messy found family ever

[ID: uncolored doodles of Reigen and Ritsu from Mob Psycho 100. In the first one, Ritsu is grabbing Reigen's lapels and kicking him, both of them angry, as if they are (play) fighting. In the next 2 doodles, Reigen's got his head in a cupboard, asking, "Who ate my pocky?!", and in the next panel, we see Ritsu sitting on a couch, eating pocky with a smug look on his face, as Reigen off-screen says "I swear to god if it's you Ritsu, again-". The next 2 doodles are of Ritsu laying his head against Reigen's chest, hands curled up, with Reigen looking surprised, and in the next one, he hugs Ritsu close, heaving a sigh and smiling. Inbetween these doodles, there is one of Reigen as a fox and Ritsu as a cat, Ritsu sleeping curled up next to him, and a small doodle of Ritsu smiling and throwing a peace sign, with text below it saying "space filler". End ID.]

short neuvifuri angst idea

"Oh, did you enjoy the script that she wrote? Did you like the role that you were cast as? I hope you were happy in those five hundred years, Neuvillette, because I never was!"

Furina storms off after pushing him, leaving him drenched to the bone and sitting awkwardly in the waters of the Fountain of Lucine with naught to do but contemplate his long lasting memories. Remembering the way she would smile is an easy endeavor. Furina always looked sincere when smiling; perhaps he wasn't looking hard enough, but surely even fleeting moments between just the two of them had to have brought her some amount of happiness, as small as it may be.

He thinks of one long ago night, during the third century of her reign. Actually, right on the cusp of the new milestone, he recalls the Palais had been eerily silent after wrapping up a week of festivities held in Furina's honor. The people of Fontaine were still celebrating, and would be doing so until the early hours of the morning, but all was still within the Palais. Except for them, that is. She had supposedly retired to her bedchambers, and him to his office, yet the two had bumped into each other within the kitchen.

"Let's go to the Opera," she had told him, in lieu of answering when he asked what she was doing. He supposes that the flecks of pastry crumbs on her clothes answered that, and he didn't ask other questions such as why she wanted to go to the Opera. He followed her as willingly as if she had simply asked for the time.

(Their whole relationship had been like that, hadn't it? A duty that extended beyond just an Archon and her Iudex. He once heard the Traveler mention a sea of flowers at the end of the world, and should Furina declare that she would like to see such a sight, he would tear down Celestia just to make it happen.)

Furina had packed a basket of food to bring, and two bottles of wine to go with. Then they partook perhaps more than they should've, and perhaps he should've questioned if Archons can get drunk, or if a Sovereign should be getting drunk with one. He definitely should have stopped her from going into the storerooms of the Epiclese and procuring even more for them. The memories start to get a little hazy after that, but he can vaguely recall a remark she made about the location not being the best choice, and that she wanted to get away from something. He can't recall who made the decision to go up, and have him help carry her as they climb to the roof, but suspects it was still her doing.

As clear as day, though, he can remember her smile, bathed in the light of the slowly rising sun as it crested over the waters of her dominion. Out of every beautiful sight in Fontaine, she is the one he gets to appreciate most often, but never before in a light like this. He could gaze at that moment for another hundred years and never tire of it. "Dragon of the waters," she had called him, "might you allow an Archon to call you theirs?"

Should she have asked him that at the start of her reign, should they have been in a similar situation, the answer would be clear. He might have even wondered, with the walls of the Court to block them from their peoples' sights, if an Archon so in love with her people would fall like one if he shoved her. But they were not in the past, and he already knew by then that he had come to love her, and thus his answer was "I was under the belief that I already was yours, Lady Furina, both within my capacity as your Chief Justice and without. The people of Fontaine adore you, yet it is my love for you that truly knows no bounds. Nothing would make me happier than to be yours."

"They do, don't they," she had whispered, a note he almost lost to time with how he just barely could hear her. "Promise me this, Neuvillette, if you wish to be mine- promise you will never stray from your duties to Fontaine, and you will always, always, do what is best for her people."

"I will."

"And promise that you will stay by my side forever, then, for another three centuries and beyond that, even if you grow tired of me!"

"Of course, Furina, is... is something the matter?"

It was the first time he had seen her come close to crying, droplets of tears clumping her eyelashes together yet disappearing as she blinked, "Oh, you silly dragon, only the fact that you make me ever so happy."

Leaving the warmth of the memory behind, Neuvillette returns to the cold of an overcast sky dripping with sleet, as a blue silhouette leaves him behind and disappears into the cloudy distance.

Guts about Griffith: "I want to kill him"

Guts about Casca: "I can't get enough of you, I'll take care of you"

Fujoshis: "Guts doesn't love Casca, He loves Griffith more, in this essay I will-"

[sonknuxadow]

sorry i dont really like the shadow is silvers dad theory/headcanon/whatever and part of the reason for it is that people keep presenting it as an actual thing that could be possible even though it makes no sense and all "evidence" people use to back it up is easily disputed

[zenpai-senpai]

I love that the fandom is finally giving swap sans the maturity he deserves but I'd be remiss if I didnt argue some of you are still either not understanding who he is or are trying to avoid soft boy uwu baby boy so hard in the other direction, your overcompensating.

Swap sans is an original papyrus in a Sans body. That's it, shouldn't be hard right? Like that's just who he is, he's a personality swapped au going from being a sans personality in a Sans body to being a papyrus personality in a Sans body.

Some of you are making him just flat out mean to avoid the naive childlike maturity of the original characterization. He's not mean. He doesn't smoke or spit at people or secretly hate everyone or talk shit or fuckin kick puppies or something. Unless that's how you see og papyrus which I doubt it is. He doesn't hate ink or dream. He doesn't curse like crazy (probs sometimes lol). It's like y'all cannot see male characters outside of " naive fem twink soft boy uwu senpai" or " crotchety bitter old man who abuses everyone and shit talks his friends and scares babies for fun".

He's literally a fucking himbo. I don't think he's kronk levels of stupid but you can still play on his (and og papy's) naivete and positive attitude and high energy without infantilizing him and you can acknowledge his sarcasm, high strung and occasionally fake smile without demonizing him. There are shades in-between, please stop reading the 7,000th incorrect quote from the office you've read with 300 other characters in the exact same scenario and engage with him on a deeper level.

I know I have bias cause he rots my brain and is litterally my fandom husband but like it's not that hard to actually just apply papyrus' personality to the character meant to be exactly like him. Y'all do this same shit to og papyrus too so don't play with me

I think a good way to describe my disdain for some parts of the Merlin fandom is that some of yall . . . act like potter heads but for Merlin

[fiapple]

for such a small fandom, the moral orel community really does have a huge fucking problem with woobification of the adult cast.

it's gross.

[chaosnojutsu]

in regards to the “he would not fucking say that” phenomenon. read and write and draw what you want. be self aware though. like you have full liberty to re-imagine your blorbo cinnamon roll old man waifu however you want to, and i sincerely hope you have fun doing that. i LOVE doing that, and i LOVE when people experience and share and relate to the silly little ideas i’ve put out there. i will say, i’ve found that when making the art, it’s more freeing to fully acknowledge the fact that outside of your x reader fics and headcanons and funnies and various arts, he would not fucking say that.

[justanisabelakinnie]

Unpopular fandom opinion but: "If it's not in the movie/book/show itself then it isn't canon, idc what the creator says!" is such a stupid af bullshit take lmfao.

[wawawawawawawawawawawawawa]

if the best defense of your headcanon is a post well-established to be full of incorrect information about a real mental illness that actually exists, then maybe your headcanon isnt as canon compliant as you think it is. just saying!

Monkey King 2009 Episode 3

Them having Stone Monkey (apparently purely on instinct) constantly scratching while being introduced to the troop was pretty cool, since that's a legitimate deescalation behavior in monkeys. Something about how revealing stress acts as a bonding behavior and makes it less likely they'll be attacked. Humans do it too, kind of, when they rub at their hands or shoulders or neck (etc. etc.) when nervous or overwhelmed. ("Empathize with me! I am very stressed!").

Also something-something instinctive behaviors aside Stone Monkey being excited/overwhelmed/maybe a little overstimulated and choosing "ESCALATION!!!" as his response to all of that. He thinks the troop being scared of him is hilarious. He's scratching the fur off his arms but he's also going to get right up in your face anyway. Cautiously join him in admiring his cool new rock? He is going to play-lunge and also scream. Absolutely amazing. The troop has no idea what to do with these mixed signals. This kid is a menace and I love him.

Six Ears even gets in on the scratching behavior occasionally in the background, which might be because Stone Monkey actively terrorizing literally everyone trying to be playful (because he has the social skills of a literal, actual rock) is stressing Six Ears right out or it could be an attempt to deescalate on Stone Monkey's behalf. Monkey version of following in his new friend's wake throwing apologetic grimace-smiles at everyone. Possibly it's both. Point is: They included these behaviors and it's very fun.

You can also tell it worked because in just the journey to the cave you watch the four generals' views on Stone Monkey go from "uncanny valley horror entity lurking in the forest probably to kill us all" to "what a rude little kid >:| Emphasis on RUDE."

And, okay, I admit, I have softened my stance on the four generals. Somewhat. They seem to actually be taking their jobs seriously now. Maybe Episode 1 was a wake-up call and they won't utterly fail to notice an incursion until it's in the heart of their territory again. I don't want to go too crazy, but maybe they'll even be able to even muster a coherent response! Good for them.

Should probably still not be managing children, though.

Speaking of, Six Ears's increasing despair watching the train wreck in motion that was the four generals fumbling hard in giving Stone Monkey his very first etiquette lesson after he finally settled down and seemed willing to hear them out is also very relatable and hilarious. He knows they failed the test. Stone Monkey is definitely never going to listen to them again. They blew it. RIP Flower Fruit Mountain.

Stone Monkey does check in with Six Ears when he decides the generals are useless about explaining though, and that's pretty cute. He trusts his friend :) He also definitely internalizes that thing about having to ask to leave the presence of the king, so at least they managed to teach him some manners. ONE manners. A single manner. (Spoiler: They immediately regret this.)

But hey! This time Six Ears is left entirely to his own devices and still manages to get caught smack in the middle of enemy action. Not the Generals' fault for once! Six Ears just attracts this kind of thing, I guess.

3/3 Six Ears is Damsel-ed, but only 2/3 it's the adults' fault. The tally develops.

I talk a lot about how different fanon!Helia is from canon!Helia but not enough but how bad it is for all the characters.

Like you have Riven going from this insecure teenage boy who lashes out at anyone who challenges him to this suave bad boy who could kill the winx. People seeing Stella as a stuck up brat, thinking that she loves Bloom more than the other winx, or that she would ever choose to be selfish in ways that hurt the other characters. Or Flora going from this fairly confident young girl who loves to meet new people and hangout with others to an introverted shy mess who never speaks up and would never say something sarcastic. Not to sound like a bitch but I really do think it's time the fandom stops pretending we're better than other fandoms and don't have Fanon Versions because we do and it's messing with y'alls perception of canon so fucking bad

[angels-of-horror]

Ivy is such a great character with so much potential for a complex and powerful backstory, but DC treats her like she’s only there for the aesthetic.

Not to be one of those homophobes saying “Ivy was better before she was gay” or anything- I just get a little tired when everyone’s favorite character is Harley and everything always revolves around her. Like, one of Ivy’s best comics was Poison Ivy: Thorns but it’s not popular because there’s no Harley in it, even though it’s amazing and gay…

Also I’m just pissed that we never get any backstory for Ivy in the Harley Quinn show and yet we’re getting a whole fucking spinoff show for Kite Man… I just wish people liked Ivy more as a character not just a love interest.
