#TPTM headcanons

[peachie-kittie]

I love 'The Post-Traumatic Manifesto'

It's a small project made by the creator Weevildoing, and I've been obsessing. And considering I'm. Experiencing. I'm gonna force my love for this series onto everyone else.

Various headcanons be upon ye all:

There are two girls who could be considered "early risers" - Caliber and Irreverent. Caliber because she works a 9-5 on top of going to the gym, and Irreverent because the religious sermons co attended has influenced her sleep schedule. Co, however, prefers them nowadays to watch the sunrise :)

Also Caliber wakes up that early to either make coffee at home or splurge on fancy coffee - fancy coffee is saved for holidays, rough days, or as a littol treat. She will never admit to that third one though.

Girls with the most FUCKED sleep schedule include Splitter (to no one's surprise), Disposable, Fainant (<- hear me out-), and Caliber.

Splitter is splitter (/affect i adore her). Disposable likes to stay up late playing bideos games, watching anime, scrolling tumblr (ILL GET BACK TO THIS LATER), or researching conspiracy theories. Fainant WOULD have a normal sleep schedule in their ideal life but due to their ME/CFS and many other disabilities and chronic issues they kinda just have accepted her sleep schedule will always be a bit fucky. And Caliber, despite being an early riser is prone to working late. Go to bed at 2 and wake up at 6 kinda lady. This is why she needs coffee.

Chocobo would LOVEEE to work as a barista. Not at fuckbucks but like. If he could get paid properly and be considered a Cool Barista:tm: it'd be THRIVING.

Adding onto that; if it were a barista she'd work at the same coffee shop Caliber visits and Caliber describes him as "the sweetheart who writes nice notes on her cups and can make a killer hazelnut latte."

Splitter and Disposable are friends - semi-long distance, like an hour - and they bond over anime, games, and all the out-there shit they both like/believe (conspiracies and such). They keep each other up watching anime or gaming over discord its amazing. They also both confide in each other about violent or s/h related urges, just kinda listening and going along. They're both SEVERELY mentally ill so they dont really try to give advice; theyll just mutually acknowledge it and be like "yeah that shit sucks. ill hate it/them with you tho."

^^^everytime they meet up they spend at least 3 days together.

Chocobo and Fainant are also friends. Specifically, Chocobo loves to bake sweets for Fainant and Fainant will invite Bo over for frequent movie nights, tea parties, and general hangout sessions lot. Chocobo is one of few people Fainant will willingly go out with because he is willing to leave as soon as they say theyre getting tired.

Chocobo and Irreverent are the UNLIKELY DUO!!! Chocobo is excitable and sociable and anxious and Irreverent is aloof and a lil socially detached but a good logical counterpart who isn't as worried about what others think.

To that end, Chocobo is an age regressor (between ages 10-14 usually) - it won't do it in front of many people, but he trusts Irreverent to caregive. Co makes sure to be extra careful with Bo's boundaries during these times.

Taxidermy and Chocobo don't know eachother BUT Fainant knows Taxidermy and has been intending to introduce the two.

Taxidermy and Fainant never go out. Unlike Chocobo, Taxidermy is the friend Fainant will scroll on their phone with and occassionally send memes for hours then go out for McDonald's at 2 am.

OH ALSO. Splitter and Fainant are work buds. They work at the McDonalds mentioned above. They talk over discord and also send each other memes.

Im not sure how many of you follow Weevil on instagram but. there was a post where Bo very clearly has a crush on Disposable and honestly. Yeah.

For context, there's a skate park near the cafe - and Disposable skateboards there and practices moves on railings and shit. One time Chocobo saw Disposable successfully pull off a kickflip coming off a rail and it's heart went doki-doki.

Splitter has met Chocobo in person a total of two times - the cafe is a rare safe place for Splitter and Disposable to hang out in a dark corner - and both times she could SEE Chocobo staring.

She has tried to get Disposable to talk to him. It is VERY hesitant. Next time Splitter visits she plans to drag Disposable over to Chocobo.

Okay so anyway hard pivot back to Caliber and CHEMICAL!!

Chemical canonically loves rhythm games and fitness - what I'm saying is that she attends the same gym as Caliber and they share a Zumba class.

Whenever Caliber is there Chemical is lovingly on her ass - making sure she drinks water and always inquiring about her home life. Caliber spares details, not wanting to worry a LITERAL TEENAGER, but takes her advice to stretch and drink water.

Caliber admires Chemical's high energy and boldness - and constantly tells her to use those strengths to her advantage. Chemical doesn't seem to fully believe her but appreciates it anyway.

Chemical sees Caliber as an older sister figure for sure.

Chemical is another friend of Fainant! They don't hang out as much as Taxidermy or Chocobo but Chemical helps Fainant stay as active as they can with all their disabilities.

Same for Splitter. She got Splitter into rhythm games. They also geek out about figmas, gundams, and garage kits together.

A decent chunk of the girls deal with feelings of nonhumanity btw - not even just in a trauma way. Fully convinced Disposable is a dog therian and is trying to unlearn its inner cop.

I have more but this feels excessive. Weevil if you see this I hope they vibe. also hi i love this series sm

What are the Dimitrescus favourite thing(s) to do with Reader?

oooh this is a good one >:)

Alcina Dimitrescu

quality domestic time

she's a pretty busy person, and while she's most often stuck in her office handling things for her castle or territory, she enjoys when they sit with her and do their own thing

talking with them is nice, and she does like hearing their thoughts on certain things, but for the most part, she would prefer a calm evening with them while she continues her work

on the off-chance neither of them are busy with one thing or another, she also likes drinking wine with them while they sit together in her room

they're a bit of a lightweight, so it's entertaining to see them confidently tell her they could handle her strongest wine and become a flustered, word-slurring mess fifteen minutes later

her favorite is when she's in as little clothing as possible and they sit on her lap while they share a wine glass

it's just so out of the ordinary for her, and she enjoys having them around as a comforting presence

it also helps that they don't judge her body in the slightest, and she's caught them close to drooling a few times while she undresses in front of them

it's nice to be appreciated :)

plus, when it's just the two of them, she's able to fluster them much easier. she considers it a love language in itself

Bela Dimitrescu

walking around the castle's grounds

it's one of the things she loves to do with them, anyway

being outside gives both of them a breath of fresh air and some privacy from anyone wanting to bother them inside

they can hold hands, talk about whatever, enjoy each other's presence, and they get to see the beautiful scenery that lays just beyond the castle

don't tell anyone, but she definitely intentionally slows her pace to take longer than she usually would. she just wants to spend time with them away from everyone else for a while

this is also the prime time for her to confide in them about her struggles as the eldest Dimitrescu daughter. it's certainly a rough life, and their comfort is what she craves on harder days

her second favorite thing to do is analyze books with them or talk about theories together

none of her other "partners" were as interested in music or books, so having someone actively listen to her and offer their input about her interests is very new to her

that part in chapter eighteen where Reader was looking at the little notes and such she wrote in her books about them? yeah, she's got plenty more just like it :)

Cassandra Dimitrescu

having them help her with her tasks/hobbies

be it them holding her weapons during a hunt or writing down the things she finds interesting about the human body, she enjoys when they listen to her and do things for/with her

sometimes she likes giving them tasks in the cellar so she can watch them and study them while they're distracted

she does like seeing people in their natural habitats, as she believes that's who they really are, so watching them as they bite the inside of their cheek and attentively write down what she'd said makes her chest light

she'll never actually tell them she needs help, though. she'll just tell them to do something and smile when they do it, no questions asked

she also likes drawing them while they're distracted and doing something else

they're still spending time together, yeah, but she finds them interesting to sketch, especially with those wings. she wants to find out why they have three, but maybe she'd ask after this sketch (she doesn't)

Daniela Dimitrescu

literally anything

it doesn't matter if they're reading books to her, sleeping next to her, or helping her garden. she just wants to spend time with them and hold their hand or lay some part of her on them

she's very touchy, what can she say? but they don't seem to mind

she enjoys being able to hand them things or have them help her pick out the best-looking rocks during their little adventures outside. she feels like they really understand her

it also helps that they take each of her gifts with an excited smile. not even her ex-partners would do that

while she does enjoy simply spending any time with them she's able to, her absolute favorite thing is sleeping beside them

or, rather, when they are asleep beside her

she hasn't told them she does this, since she fears they'll think her a creep or something, but since she's a night owl, she often falls asleep later than they do, and she ends up watching them sleep as a way to fall asleep herself

she's never seen them look so peaceful and unbothered, and it warms her dead heart to watch them sleepily lean into her fingers as she brushes them down her bird's cheek in fascination

I love your disposable girl headcanons do you have any for splitter :]

yess!!

-listens to lots of speedcore and digital hardcore, mainly Diabhara, Goreshit, Rory in Early 20s, LustSickPuppy and Femtanyl. one of her favourite songs would be Unforseen Dream Scenarios by Rory, listen and you'll find out why LOL

-loves dark vocaloid stuff. like Masa Works Design's stuff, Bacterial Contamination, Fear Garden, etc etc

-loves anime / games / media like Danganronpa, Class of '09, and Yandere Sim (the "into any media thats objectively fucking awful" makes me laugh so I figured I'd include some)

-plays osu! she's decent at it. probably wishes she could clear Galaxy Collapse one day

-super cluttered room. half of it is her computer setup and shelves with anime figures and posters and such. the other half is her bed and all the trash and clothes she hasnt picked up

-has an account on pretty much every social media and website. she has a terrible internet addiction

-watches and listens to true crime / gore to scare herself and get her heart racing to fill the void and to satisfy her violent thoughts

[twentyonemillionwishes]

Do you have any... taxidermy girl headcanons? ^^

YES!!!! thanks for asking these making these makes me happy lol

-unlabelled sexuality because it makes her more comfortable

-hypersexual

-was raised religious

-she's already canonically native but weevildoing has mentioned they imagine some of the girls to be peruvian-quechuan, so thats is my specific hc :)

-does actual taxidermy! though only bug pinnings. they also collect bones (all ethical sources of course, they check and double check every time they get them)

-enjoys history, poetry and antiques a lot. and writes some poetry of her own! she also enjoys to do flower pressings

-listens to goth and punk music,, specifically Boy Harsher and Nine Inch Nails

-wears a lot of silver jewellery and has a fairly goth fashion taste

-likes to eat dark chocolate, pomegranates, cherries and red velvet cake

-has a fancy set of silverware she inherited. this is so incredibly specific but it just feels right LOL. she takes very good care of it

-would be best friends with Irreverent Girl !!!!

[twentyonemillionwishes]

do you like any tptm ships ??

I see most of them as friends but I think Faineant x Chocolate-Box, Disposable x Chocolate-Box and Irreverent x Taxidermy would make good pairs, romantic or platonic! I think most of them would have similar interests and I just feel like Disposable and Chocobo would like each other :)

[lualily13]

do you think caliber girl and splitter girl would be online friends

i think all of them would follow each others blogs for one reason or another. like caliber and splitter have similar taste in media (well, to an extent, i don’t think caliber would be into anything too gorey) so have like 12 page discussions about digimon n shit like that. so yeah i think they’d be online friends, prob not superrr close but still friends.

[valleynix]

I looked around and I can’t find this ask so I’m guessing that you haven’t been sent one yet.

In To Promise the Moon, why do the sisters not seem to be weak to the cold? Is it like a headcannon? (Capcom TOTALLY nerfed them with the cold thing tho)

i remember answering this before but i probably didn’t tag it correctly 😭

it’s more like a headcanon than anything else, mostly because i thought the cold being their ONE weakness was really, really stupid. especially with how quickly it works, like…?

in TPtM, they ARE still affected by the cold; we see this sometimes when one of the sisters seem paler than usual or may move slower. i like to think that the cold is still a weakness, but it doesn’t affect them nearly as much as it does in canon.

it’s more that the flies themselves either move slower and therefore can’t always protect them where needed, but they don’t immediately die in the cold and they can still use their swarms. they’re just slowed.

i also have a tendency to use what’s convenient for the story 😭 like, in Sanguineous, it’s shown the girls can be tricked into staying solid. sometimes, in TPtM, they’re not really affected at all (which is a mistake on my part).

anywho, it’s really just my take on them and having them be less “weakened simply for plot reasons” and more something that makes a bit of sense, i guess? at least in my head :D

y’all are about to hear me complain for a second

comments like this are why i barely make content anymore that isn’t directly related to TPtM or that isn’t bland edits, since i don’t really voice opinions or headcanons anymore

specifically for this video, it was Daniela’s character essay and i talked about the theory (again, THEORY or HEADCANON) that she suffers from comphet. i did not say it was canon, and even explicitly said multiple times it was just a theory or my own personal belief

and it sucks that i even have to constantly make disclaimers like that, and people STILL get their panties in a twist when i bring it up. it’s even worse on videos where the title is exactly what the video will be about (like the daughters being fruity), and people STILL get mad as if they can’t read

i guess they can’t? because, like… yeah, you’re allowed to disagree, but what’s the point in getting mad to the point you type up a whole essay just because someone thinks a fictional character is gay? and then go on to completely ignore what was said about it, especially in terms of comphet???

it’s bizarre to me to see something clearly titled correctly, you have the option to just scroll if you don’t like that kind of thing or you don’t agree, and people just… don’t. they get so mad about characters being gay and are so adamant i show them “proof” as if they even have any that these characters are straight

like, grow up, honestly 💀 you have this term explained to you, what it means, how i personally think it applies to her, and really all you can say is, “umm but she interacted with men before 🤓”

just say you can’t read or pick and choose things to get mad at. i literally have so many of these i haven’t responded to but i’m feeling salty tonight and i’m tired of the illiterate fucks finding my shit and having room temp iq about it
