#Turquoisephoenix's Headcanons

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.

Jano is a jerk.

He loves his "little" nephew!! That's a healthy pup right there!!!

(A headcanon of longstanding importance to me and @turquoisephoenix)

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.

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.

*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)

[turquoisephoenix]

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

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...

[turquoisephoenix]

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")

[turquoisephoenix]

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.

[turquoisephoenix]

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.

[turquoisephoenix]

Everyone else in MediEvil fandom: Yeah Sir Daniel had a quick little fling with the Resurrection!Pumpkin Witch because he sure loves his pumpkin soup haha.

My Dumb of Ass: Sir Daniel and the Resurrection!Pumpkin Witch were engaged to be married and these two bozos were so much in gushy, gooey love that they even had dumb gourd-themed pet names for each other and were already talking about Dan retiring on his hefty knight salary and moving to Pumpkin Gorge. He just had to be super unlucky and plan the wedding ceremony for AFTER he defeated Zarok (he wanted a special fairy tale wedding where he's the triumphant knight that saved the kingdom! he accidentally bought into his own hype!) so when he meets up with her again one hundred years later, she's a bitter old hag who personally had to help bury his stupid corpse and his death impacted her view on the world so deeply that she never got close to another person ever again and threw herself completely at her work because pumpkins won't break her heart. She then has to grapple with a very intense loathing at Dan just showing up in her life again when she grieved for him while still caring for him and feeling a very strong sense of sympathy for what happened to him and what he is now. Meanwhile, Dan just lets her vent because, for the first time since being resurrected, he realizes that He Fucked Up while hanging out with her and seeing his once fiancée as a very emotionally distraught and kinda barmy elderly woman as a result of his actions just makes Dan want to go lay face down in a ditch and let the earth claim him.

[turquoisephoenix]

Is Canny Tim trans in your Medievil story?

Yes.

I'm just unsure whether to go the realistic route (No HRT, Canny Tim binds and stuffs) or the magical anachronism route (his witch friend is brewing him a supply of HRT made out of pumpkins, maybe she cast the Spell Of Deboobing) for Canny Tim's transition.

I'm leaning towards the latter because being in The Hall of Heroes for centuries in a medieval binder sounds as cruel of a punishment as entering the Hall of Heroes with no skin or organs. Canny Tim can have a little top surgery as a treat, why not. There's magic.

[turquoisephoenix]

Absolutely not! I like to think that he went to jail, had a celebrity trial that dominated the media for a couple weeks, went to prison for a disgustingly short amount of time (2-5 years) thanks to being rich and famous, was granted parole based on good behavior, and is currently living a lazy retirement at his tacky McMansion with its home theater, swimming pool, and small horse ranch. Once it was revealed that the Crystal Star was a demon artifact and a piece of the Shadow Queen, Grubba wrote a couple memoirs of his life with the Gold Crystal Star and his slow descent to madness, a cautionary tale against using demon artifacts to improve your wrestling game.

Despite everything, he has a sorta shaky friendship with Rawk Hawk and Prince Mush, who is sorta giving him another chance ala Vivian and Beldam despite it being a bad idea. He's also aging normally, not crumbling to dust, so he has a few grey hairs and wrinkles now.

Jolene keeps hoping that one day he slips while entering his swimming pool and drowns.

When Grubba told Jolene "I love my job! I'm never going to retire!", she didn't realize that it was a threat.

I like to think that most of the money made by the Glitz Pit goes right back into the Glitz Pit, and the main reason Grubba even has a secretary in the first place is because he'll burn through the budget if no one is there to wrangle him in.

[turquoisephoenix]

He's heard rumors that there's a tortured soul of a dead knight wandering these woods, but he hasn't seen anyone for miles.

More of Sir Danny Dan Daniel Fortesque from that game I played only four months ago. Wanted to really go ham on a drawing with him in it because honestly, he deserves it. He works hard.

[turquoisephoenix]

Headcanon: The big burly Rabbid with the mustache that punches little kid Woodrow in this memory is Sweetlopek's father and he really didn't want his son hanging out with "The Jinx".

Joke's on him, they later became best friends and now his son is dating a Dryad.
