Mr. Dark, before and after his failed battle against The First Nightmare
Once upon a time, during a period of everlasting peace in The Glade, there lived a powerful magician. Instead of the friendly warmth of the sun's rays, he was created by Polokus himself from the biting intensity of the sun's fire. While details of this First Hero (Mr. Light, as some records say) are scarce and some of his good deeds are accidentally misattributed to his apprentice, he was one of the many noble creatures that stood up against Jano, The First Nightmare.
And...he failed. Horribly. The First Hero was a powerful magician, but so was Jano, and Jano's magic ultimately won. As punishment for his brash insolence, Jano took the dying hero, stole his pretty, pretty face, and pierced his soul with the shifting, eldritch touch of the abyss.
After all, with a little nudge, any dream can become a nightmare...
And then he stole a pink orb and built a fortress made out of cake before being beaten up by a 10 year old that may or may not be his biological son, The End. 8)
------------------------------------
For the last year or so, I've been looking at my "Mr. Dark is a Thingamajig" idea and thinking to myself "yeah, this idea has promise but I think I made this design TOO lame". So I decided to give in to the desire to draw a fun shadow creature and say that the reason he's wearing a big cloak now is because Jano takes "Got Your Nose" way too seriously and he's still sour about it.
Tumblr media
Jano is a jerk.

SO our HIAF server has been growing and is continually active! You know what that means right? Headcanons, crossovers, and brainstorming galore!!
@turquoisephoenix headcanons that HIAF and We're Back take place in the same universe. The biggest connection being that MacKrill shares a lot of the same features and similar experimental pursuits as Neweyes and Screweyes. I thought that was brilliant so I had to doodle down something!
And honorable mentions to our member Moe Sohma who enlightened us with the idea of Lisa, Fly and Stella's mom, to be a queen of cussing! If they ever post the fuck meme I'll reblog it. It's so important guys.
Enjoy. :)

((Ohohoho Grunty Industries’ employees CAN’T HIDE, there’s a reason the train station button is outside 😎
I think the other reason he’s WAY bolder in his territory is because he knows Grunty Industries like the back of his... uh... hand (back when he had hands before the Winkybunions cursed the factory) and doesn’t have to depend as much on his failing vision to figure out his surroundings. He feels the same about the other worlds he had a hand in, but yeah nature N O P E B Y E.
That and he’s protective of the Industries. Thems is HIS Grunty can say what she wANTS but he BREATHES FIRE so THEREeEeE.

You mentioned that you think after Grubba gets out of jail he has an uneasy friendship with Prince Mush. Do you think you could elaborate on that some? Like what do their interactions look like? Just curious as to how you think a murderer and a revived victim of his would act as friends
Okay, this one might be a little long, takes a bit of setting up, and involves some headcanons.
And I will emphasize that the relationship is "uneasy" and they're not exactly inviting each other to watch movies or anything. Grubba should be thankful that Prince Mush even wants to speak to him and give him occasional updates on how the Glitz Pit is running, at his request, while he's sitting in jail and later under house arrest (albeit a cozy house arrest at his tacky rodeo clown of a home, but he has to do it all with an ankle monitor).
Prince Mush is just something of a saint, very mellow, and extremely forgiving. He's just a bit of a wide-eyed shonen protagonist fueled by the power of friendship.
To explain why Prince Mush is so understanding where Grubba was coming from with his most terrible actions, both Prince Mush and Grubba have similar backstories - they were originally from poor backgrounds but then climbed their way to the top to become champion fighters.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This leads me to believe that Prince Mush grew up as a fan of Grubba. Especially since I made Grubba the type of fighter that had a LOT of merchandising and star appeal thanks to some rather aggressive contracts by his fight promoter/agent, who swooped in and saw a business opportunity. Prince Mush had secondhand toys of Grubba that they found in the local Rogueport goodwill because the store shelves were just flooded with them. Prince Mush bought some of his T-shirts and had a few of his toys.
Tumblr media
And Prince Mush and Grubba got along for a good several years! Prince Mush had a very cushy Champion's life and his family got to see all of his matches and he was very comfortable! Grubba made sure to NOT treat Prince Mush the way he was treated in the past. Prince Mush had health benefits and vacation plans. Everything was good! Grubba was a good maybe-a-father-figure, maybe-just-an-older-friend type of cool old dude.
Until, one night, Prince Mush alerted Grubba to a strange machine that he found underneath the Glitz Pit Arena while he was training late one night. After Grubba asked him if he told anyone else (Prince Mush thankfully said no, so no killing spree for Grub), Prince Mush lead him to the strange machine and asked him "who could do such a thing?"
Grubba responded by hitting him in the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. They didn't even have an epic battle between champion and monster; instead Grubba panicked, acted like a cornered rat, and then immediately had to cover up the resulting disappearance.
Cut to a few more years later where Prince Mush is suddenly waking up in the Glitz Pit Arena and his own sister is telling him how he straight up died and his blood was on Grubba's hands, all while a little Italian plumber is waving at him and going "wahoo".
Tumblr media
So in short, Prince Mush doesn't remember his own death and has to get all of his information secondhand from other people who were way way more traumatized about the events.
And Mush, being Mush...can't bring himself to hate Grubba.
At least, not totally.
Jolene hates Grubba with every fiber of her being and is very much a "if I see you outside of prison, it's on sight, mfer" type of person. Rawk Hawk has really mixed feelings about Grubba and oscillates between rage-filled hatred and survivor's guilt where he second-guesses all the nice things Grubba ever did for him, knowing that he could've been drained and shoved in a dirty old attic. He even visited Grubba in jail and had a shouting match with him as both of them had to unpack a lot of mental baggage. Rawk Hawk's change of heart is fueled by the fact that Rawk Hawk has grown self-conscious and scared of becoming as lost as his mentor.
Prince Mush? When he pieces the story together - the young star exploited at a young age so afraid of aging, so afraid of giving up his own business, that he'll use a magic demon artifact to render himself immortal at the cost of his own humanity and becomes a paranoid monster that can't get close to anyone without hurting or killing them...
He just finds Grubba sad.
And when he tells Grubba to his face while he's sitting in the prison cell, Grubba wishes he got the anger instead.
Having his whole empire crumble and having to live with the consequences of his actions just renders him a pathetic, broken man. He needed wellness checks during his first week of prison just to make sure he didn't do anything drastic. (being away from the Crystal Star that made him young and strong for the first time in 40 years and realizing that he was gonna wither and turn into an old man made him just a touch suicidal for a little while)
On top of all of this, once it becomes more common knowledge that the Crystal Stars were connected to the Shadow Queen, Grubba isn't even sure how much of his actions were his own or if he was Corrupted By the Amulet. Everyone - including him - believes he was mostly in control, but it sure doesn't feel good either way having to second-guess just how much of the past few decades were of your own free will and how much of it was demonic influence and you were just Golluming your way into murder because the shiny rock needed more blood for the blood god.
TTYD is very much a game that ends on the idea of forgiveness for the villains. I'm not going to have Prince Mush stay with Grubba ala Vivian hanging out with her shitty sister Beldam, but Prince Mush seems like a cool enough dude to at least extend a hand and say "yeah you killed me, but now you're in a position where you can't harm anyone else ever again and since you're a paranoid and have like 60 mental illnesses, I'm not going to kick you while you're down and instead tell you that the Glitz Pit isn't on fire and that my sister Jolene is doing a GREAT job".
And eventually Grubba...feels more at peace with himself than he's been in over 40 years.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
TL;DR, Prince Mush forges a shaky relationship with his own murderer because his murderer's mental health was impacted by both demonic magic and the exploitation of Hollywood stardom but things are actually kinda looking up? Prince Mush actually wants Grubba to get better, Jolene wants Grubba to choke and perish, and Rawk Hawk is unsure whether he sides with Mush or Jolene.

Ghost Roaster Headcanons
Okay, since that last post/backstory got a lot of people interested, time to post some headcanons on the Roastmeister instead of answering a bunch of asks.
Yes, there’s a Read More. This got long. Again.
Tumblr media
*Original name: Olav Ingle Ahlstrom. (for now, this is a work in progress, but something vaguely Scandinavian)
*Original species: Frost Elf
*Age before death: Early 30's, a rising star in the culinary arts.
*Sexuality: Grey ace demisexual. If you asked him directly, he'll shrug and be like "I'm mainly into food". Will joke that he's a little fruity because food humor.
*Before he turned, he was a famous celebrity chef in direct competition to Chef Pepper Jack and the two of them were rivals. Olav saw the rivalry all in good fun and regularly teased Chef Pepper Jack; Pepper Jack hated his ass and thought his methods were the work of a drooling imbecile.
*Olav's style of chef was a Guy Fieri type who regularly traveled the weirdest parts of Skylands and was sampling all sorts of funny dishes. He was an affable and funny weirdo who could make something edible out of ANYTHING and his books were a hit. His sheep wool pizza was actually amazing, even if it was hard to get exactly right.
*Olav and Chef Pepper Jack's rivalry was so strong and public that it's been often rumored that Chef Pepperjack KILLED Olav to explain Olav's sudden disappearance. To make matters worse, Chef Pepperjack has lied a couple times and flat out said "Yeah I killed that loser, he couldn't handle the heat!" just for the lolz.
*He knows that his name is Olav. Ghost Roaster tries to lie and say that he's not sure if he's the famous Olav because Olav is actually a somewhat common name for frost elves, but he has a horrible feeling deep in his stomach that he is that famous guy with all the young budding chefs that looked up to him and has been directly avoiding connecting himself to Olav because he feels guilty and ashamed. So any attempts at returning to the culinary arts is under his Ghost Roaster alias.
*Ghost Roaster doesn't remember all of his previous life or what happened after he transformed. He just remembers pain. And hunger. And ripping things to shreds. But the memories are starting to come back.
*Master Eon met Ghost Roaster because he was told to come down to the Land of the Undead and destroy a ravenous chained up ghoul that was being held in captivity. Instead, Eon took pity on him and made him a Skylander.
*Olav and Ghost Roaster are actually pretty similar in personality, just that Ghost Roaster is more likely to slip into dark humor and joke about eating people. This is another reason why he's avoiding reclaiming the Olav name; he doesn't want to find out about any family or friends that will just see him as a gross monster.
*He's rapidly rising in the ranks in the Undead culinary art world and now has a new rival in Batterson. Thankfully the two of them are way friendlier to each other.
*Ghost Roaster is one of those prickly types where once you push back all the thorns and befriend him, he'll move the very rocks and earth to help you. And send you memes at 3 am with a "this you?".
*Master Eon purposefully avoids sending Ghost Roaster on a mission that involves Chef Pepper Jack because while an encounter with him might regain all of Ghost Roaster's lost memories, it might also cause him to have a Bloodborne-esque rampage as he tries to END Chef Pepper Jack.
*No one except for Master Eon and Hugo have connected the dots between Olav that famous chef that disappeared and Ghost Roaster and he's very reluctant with sharing that information because he feels like if word got out, his old self's reputation would be damaged forever.
*Best Skylander friends: Ignitor, Fiesta, Funny Bone, Grim Creeper, Hex (ironically), Wrecking Ball, Fright Rider, Stealth Elf, Slobber Tooth (who samples his food)
*He's the ultimate in "I tell jokes to mask the pain" silly guys.
Best Friends, NPC edition: Eon, Batterson, Flynn, and Mags.
*Worst Skylander match ups: CAMO, Food Fight (is a tasty food), Shroomboom (same), Sonic Boom (regularly makes tasty foods he can't have), Jet Vac (same), Krypt King (won't let him crack him open and eat the tasty ghost inside like a lobster tail)

Writing headcanons for the Skylanders cast is an exercise in pure suffering sometimes (there's over 150 of these weirdos, and there's an inherent randomness to the storytelling of Skylanders due to it being a goofy magical setting full of goofy guys, so there are just multiple types of ghouls and it's never explained, good luck)

i need old man grubba sitting in a retirement home postgame
I'm still debating how fast he'll start aging after he gets his shiny star taken from him (I like to think he just starts aging at a normal rate but he's such a paranoid bastard about it that he gets addicted to various skincare and hair routines while everyone is asking him to please get therapy because a single wrinkle isn't the end of the world) but I feel like he would never enter a nursing home and, if you suggested he go to one, he'd immediately punch you right in the kidneys.

Character Bios for Gallowmere's Merry Band of Doomed-By-The-Narrative Losers
Tumblr media
This was going to be under this picture right here, but this got kinda long. Just want to reiterate that these are all just headcanons.
-------
Sir Daniel Wigginbottom Fortesque IV
Daniel is many things. He's the eldest son but youngest child of Lord Cedric Fortesque. He comes from a long line of knights and noblemen dating back centuries. His lineage can be traced back to 10 different European countries. And he just so happened to lose the genetic lottery in so many different ways with his awkward, gangly proportions, gargantuan height, and various "brain deficiencies" (aka ADHD and autism centuries before their discovery) that led several people in the courts to call him fae-touched or a changeling behind his back. The bad teeth is a Fortesque trait though, so at least Cedric knows that he's his son.
In a time of peace, Daniel didn't really have any pressure to make something of himself by his family and has spent most of his life jumping from job to job - from stablehand to scribe to pigeonry - in a vague attempt to appear useful. Despite having a very high education and being able to read and write, people tend to write him off as a simpleton because he has zero skill in reading social cues, especially in the courts. Many a banquet have been ruined because Daniel panicked.
He means well, but I'd be lying if I said he couldn't be bratty at times. Easy to please, but also easy to irritate. Can easily fall in love and be a loyal partner, can also easily hold a grudge and has several enemies in the court. Has a passion for storytelling and accidentally buys into his own hype because he knows enough about stories to pick up on Themes and CLEARLY he's meant for something...
Canny Tim
Once part of a relatively minor noble house that resided in the castle town of Gallowmere, Tim ran away from home to go live in a relatively non-enchanted part of the forest to work as a King's forester, rejecting both his house and his name. He has a passion for archery, and he will admit that he's partially motivated by spite after his father told him that arrows were not a pastime fitting for a lady.
To most of Gallowmere, Canny Tim seemingly popped into existence during the 49th Gallowmere Games and got top prize in all the archery categories. Sir Daniel has known him for a lot longer since they had some of the same tutors and has said that actually, Canny Tim is just so good at his job as a elite archer that he blended into the crowds and has no public records listed under a different name please don't ask me anymore questions bye.
Once went on a merry quest one summer to hunt down rare mushrooms in the Enchanted Forest for a pumpkin witch's brew to "redistribute fat in the chest area", so don't worry about him going to the Hall of Heroes in a binder, goodness no.
Wartilda, Daughter of Wartilda of the Pumpkin Gorge
As the daughter of the previous Pumpkin Witch of Pumpkin Gorge, Wartilda pretty much knew what she was going to do from the moment she was able to grow a fine gourd in the corner of her room at the tender age of two and she's quite fine with that. Pumpkins are a very agreeable population and most people tend to get on her nerves.
The witches of Pumpkin Gorge tend to marry shepherds or pig farmers, so no one knows how Wartilda managed to lure in the only son of a noble Gallowmere family such as Cedric Fortesque's son, who had to be saved after he and his horse got lost in the woods, nearly got eaten by a giant spider after bullied by a pack of fairies, and had to consume an entire pumpkin pie to calm himself down. A connection was made that day as this gangly idiot realized that he could be Himself around her away from the judging eyes of the courts AND eat steaming pumpkin pie at the same time. She thinks he's cute.
Like Dan, Wartilda has known Canny Tim for longer than the records have shown a Canny Tim living in Gallowmere. She's the one that brews his potions of masculinity, even if it means that she has to put up with Canny Tim's lame gourd-themed dick and balls jokes in the process.
Wartilda has an older sister, who has very low opinions of Dan, didn't like the fact that the two of them were seriously talking about marriage, and often says things like "he's uglier than a horse's butt" and "that loser's gonna die in the Battle of Gallowmere". They were meant in jest but that second one caused Wartilda to have a screaming match with her at Dan's funeral and it's said their relationship never fully recovered...

Does your Canny Tim have a last name or is he just Canny Tim?
He's just Canny Tim, and it's sometimes written in public records like Tim is a last name. When he ran away from home, he rejected his last name as well as his first and created his identity from scratch. He's only a little bit more comfortable giving away his last name if he trusts you, but he basically has double the deadnames.
Canny Tim is a bit of a goofus in that, when renaming himself, he only really thought of a good first name. The last name was still in the brainstorming stages when he died because he just plain couldn't make up his mind on a cool last name. According to historical records, he's just Canny Tim.
Also at one point he pitched the surname "Manson" while both him and Dan were training for battle but Daniel was like "That's a bit on the nose, Tim".
Sidenote: Sir Daniel Fortesque is basically this tumblr post in regards to his gender and birth name. (he's bisexual and cis+; he looked at his assigned gender at birth and was like "yeah no complaints here")

Winston Chapelmount: -one day I started coughing, see? Felt a little weak. Thought, "ain't all bad, just a little cold". But no. The coughing got worse. The pain got worse. I was somehow burning and freezing all at once. I had to stay in bed, Sir Dan. Don't know how long it was, but last I remember, my whole family was standing around me, watching as I drowned on dry land. Sir Daniel Fortesque: *clenches his fist in anger* I wish I was there to stop that evil curse. Winston: Winston: Uh Dan. It wasn't a curse. Sir Daniel: I will find "Pneumonia" and avenge your death.

I just realized that by making Ghost Roaster a frost elf and making Chef Pepper Jack his angry resentful food rival, there's now a fun fire vs ice dynamic between them.

Random Warden Augie Headcanon
Warden Augie DOES have the awe-inspiring powers of a Greco-Roman God but he almost exclusively uses them to manifest junk food out of thin air. Like he'll go "I feel like a pizza" and then a large pizza slice just appears before him. All that food on Beacon Beach was created with just a thought.
And he just assumes that's how food works.
Woodrow will talk about his pumpkin spice industry on Palette Prime and how his village is working really hard on the crop this year and Augie just stares at the photos of farmland like "but why did you bury the pumpkins, they'll get dirty 8(".

Warden Bea - overworks everyone who lives in Terra Flora to the bone so that her business runs smoothly and takes vacation time away from her employees on the tiniest whims, but on the flip side she operates completely in tune with nature and lives in a tree like a weird bee nature spirit. She worked in several sectors of the entertainment industry and is a beloved figurehead in Rabbid pop culture.
Warden Woodrow - operates his planet under pure vibes and good feelings and everyone is living a peaceful, relaxing existence in little cottages... while also cutting down trees and rerouting rivers in the most coffee shop version of deforestation. Woodrow has no popularity whatsoever and his talent is in a rather niche (for modern times) art form.
Conclusion - While I think the Wardens as a whole get along and see each other as friends, Bea and Woodrow get along as well as a lit match and a puddle of gasoline and Warden meetings purposefully seat them as far away from each other as possible lest they get into another shouting match.

Some Sir Daniel Fortesque Headcanons
Because this guy is the newest blorbo I’ve been rotating around in my head.
Gonna sprinkle Resurrection in my headcanons because fuck it, I like the Resurrection Pumpkin Witch. She’s fun. Classic Pumpkin Witch still exists in my ideas, but as the Resurrection!Witches’ mom. Packed with more witch-y goodness.
---------------
Neutral Headcanon:  Sir Daniel’s job before he was a knight was “oral historian”. In short, yes, he was a bard. With the silly outfit and the lute and everything.
He was also exceptionally well-read, living in surrounding town next to Castle Peregrin and working as a librarian. (which is an anachronism since the printing press wouldn’t be for another 200 years, but hey, Sleeping Village had a library and there’s physical books all over the place; gonna make a bold stab and say that Dan being extremely literate and verbose in his journal didn’t magically spring up from the grave)
The one Non-Sad Headcanon: Sir Daniel and Pumpkin Witch were in a serious relationship that lasted for years. There was even talks that they were going to get married. It was one of those “I’m surprised they hit it off so well, because she certainly didn’t fall for him for his looks” type of silly romances. Just a witch in training and some pumpkin-loving librarian/bard/knight?/wait-he’s-a-knight-now?/okay. Her sister was quoted as saying that he was “as ugly as a horse’s butt” when they were dating.
They met while he was bunking off school to scrump the succulent pumpkins with his fellow schoolmates from the castle town. His words, not mine.
Tumblr media
Daniel is a very easy man to please. Like a Harvest Moon bachelor, that man.
---------------------
Sad Headcanon: Right before his death, Sir Daniel Fortesque had his whole life planned out. Once he got older and his wonderful bardly tales of justice and knighthood led him to be knighted by King Peregrin himself, he decided that he was going to use his newly found kingly knight status (which he believed to be mostly ceremonial, even if he made a living out of telling grand tales of battles to a captive audience) to live the life of luxury in the countryside with his cool eventual pumpkin wife and his many eventual children, half of which would have terrible teeth like him.
Even when he heard rumor that he was going to do battle with an evil wizard and his horrible undead army, sure, he was pretty anxious about it (and had the lingering thought “I’m fucked” swirling in his head), but he also knew how stories worked and seemed that he was sure to beat some impossible odds and be allowed to retire a hero’s retirement at the tender age of 25-ish.
All he had to do was just win one battle and he was set for life. Easy, right? 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Spoiler alert: They instead found his mangled body in a puddle of his own splattered brain matter.
-------------
Sadder Headcanon: Since his talent was storytelling and weaving grand tales of slaying monsters and surmounting great odds, he was also a very good singer. A lot of his grand epics were also in song form and he’s fantastic at playing the lute. (also has some background with the harp, but that was mostly used in church ceremonies in the castle town)
They buried his lute with him but, as luck would have it, moisture got to it and it was a pile of sad, disintegrated pulp by the time Dan was resurrected.
But hey, give that skeleton a lute. He’ll actually play something nice.
------------------
Saddest Headcanon: The voice he has as a jawless skeleton doesn’t sound like the voice he had when he was alive and, while he won’t say this out loud, he has body dysmorphia over it and is one of the reasons why he doesn’t talk much. His mumbly zombie voice hurts him in a way he can’t put to words. The whole “short words gets the point across better than trying to say an entire sentence” thing is just a bonus.
He slowly starts to get over this over time, but there’s still the lingering thought of “oh dear god, that’s not my voice” whenever he says something.
--------
Bonus:
