Pirate Percy Headcanons

Warning: this post includes mention of mental illnesses and more that wil be mentioned later.

He has no confirmed age, but is believed to represent an adult.

He always wants to do good, which makes it difficult for him to attack opponents.

He has tea parties with Janice, there's an entire episode about it.

Despite his fear and guilt when hurting someone, he does not hesitate to defend his loved ones / people that are important to him.

He's the smartest of the crew and is good at logical thinking, solving puzzles, analyzing and thinking very realistically.

He is very aware of his surroundings and immediately notices when something is on the way or something is off.

(Possible trigger warning for bad eating habbits?) He doesn't eat much and doesn't have much appetite.

(Content warning: mention of mental illnesses) It is very strongly implied that he has some form of anxiety disorder and Paranoia.

He's like a big brother/father figure to Janice and is always by her side.

He loves reading and writing. Even if he isn't the bravest himself, he loves to read the adventures of other pirates.

He can sing very well, play the flute and has talent for writing but is ashamed of his talents.

He writes songs about the sea.

(Content warning: mention of sexuality and sexual subjects) His sexuality is unknown but he is embarrassed about subjects such as romance and love and shys away from sexual subjects. It is implied that he is on the ace spectrum.

Secretly stays up longer than the rest of the crew but hasn't been caught yet. He mostly writes or reads during that time.

Knows a lot about astrology and loves to gaze at the stars, another reason why he is the navigator of the Laughingstock. (This is inspired by a headcanon by @thecovecorner, or at least I believe it came from their post.)

He has trouble sleeping, so he's always there to help when Janice has nightmares. (This is also a headcanon that I saw in someone's post, but I don't remember who it was.)

(CW: mention of weapons) Weapons: Cutlass & Dagger

That's all for now, I'll definitely post more headcanons for the characters at some point. I hope you like them! :)

Pirate Percy from Channel Zero: Candle Cove

[chronicbeans]

Candle Cove Headcanons

Just a bunch of randomly assorted headcanons from a fella who, somehow, HAD NO IDEA THE WIKI EXISTED ALL THESE YEARS. So, these headcanons only really include Janice, Percy, the Laughingstock, Horace, and the Skintaker lol. So these are some of my thoughts during the last 12 years of only having the original Creepypasta and the Channel Zero show to work with.

TW: Skintaker doing his skinning thing, Paranoia, Good ol' Betrayal, Children in Distress

• Some people remember a pilot or prototype of a pilot, where instead of Janice, there was a unnamed boy. He was taller than basically every puppet, since it seemed like whatever studio or being that was making the show hadn't figured out perspective illusions to make him look shorter than them. The only puppet that was different was the Skintaker, since he was a life-sized Halloween skeleton prop tied to strings, in order to make him taller than the boy. The main storyline of that episode was Percy being frightened, thinking that due to the boy's size, he was in some way related to the Skintaker. During the episode, there'd be times where they'd stop acting and try to calm the boy down, because he kept breaking down from distress, scared that the people watching would think he's related to the Skintaker.

• Percy's voice is actually a bit deeper to medium in pitch. The creators tried a higher pitched tone, but found it too grating to listen to, and were scared kids or their parents would find the protagonist insufferable. So, they gave the high pitch tone to Horace the Horrible, because he's a villain, and gave Percy a more soothing voice to listen to. The Skintaker has a very, very deep voice to try to indicate that he's a villain, which was made by using some voice effects on top of an already naturally deep voice actor. Janice just uses actress's her normal voice, since she's already a child and probably wouldn't be good at keeping a fake voice on for long.

• The Laughingstock crew consists of Percy, the Laughingstock, and Janice. After the first three episodes, however, there's always a "guest" on the ship that only appears during that episode and leaves at the end. Percy does often talk about "his previous crew", claiming they betrayed him, so he started his line pirating career. However, whenever Janice tries to ask more about them, he refuses to answer.

• The Skintaker is after Percy, specifically. Sure, if he can get somebody else and knows he can't get Percy, he'll go after them. However, if he thinks he can get to Percy, he'll ignore everyone else and go after him. Percy is well aware of this, and that's a large part of why he's so cowardly.

• The Studio making Candle Cove had tried to make an excuse for Percy being made of multiple different, clearly not meant to be put together, doll parts. They did so by saying Percy is made of different parts of different people. They also said this is why the Skintaker goes after him so often, since the Skintaker sees it as being like skinning multiple people at once. This was never clarified, so the audience just has to live with the knowledge that, for whatever reason, Percy is made of multiple people. It's also why some people mistake him for being the villain, as the Skintaker skinning people could be mistaken for Percy's... Whatever Percy has going on.

• Janice tends to stay safe from actual sword fighting in the show. Usually, Percy fights for her because she's very young and is still learning how to fight. However, she's always present during sword fights, and does get involved in other types of fighting, like fist fights and whatever else the show can come up with. The only person in the show she's never fought is the Skintaker, since he doesn't want to skin her at the moment.

• The Laughingstock only talks to Percy. Janice doesn't seem to hear it talking. Neither does Horace, or the Skintaker. The other characters even show confusion whenever Percy starts talking to the Laughingstock. There was even a gag where Percy would even break the fourth wall and ask the audience if they could hear it, and when he'd turn and tell the others we hear the Laughingstock talking, they'd just look even more confused and ask who he's talking to. This is in spite of the fact every character breaks the fourth wall at least once during the show.

• The Skintaker doesn't want to skin Janice. This isn't out of the kindness of his nonexistent heart. He just wants to wait until she's older and has thicker skin so it'd be easier to grind, which seems to be a nod to the fact that the skin of children is actually a bit thinner than adults.

• Horace shows up more often than the Skintaker in the show. He also never calls Percy or Janice by their real names, besides his last ever time talking to Percy, when he finally does. He calls Janice "Brat" and Percy "Coward".

• Percy, Horace, and the Skintaker are shown to drink root beer often. However, Percy is always shown to drink to most root beer, with Horace even commenting that he might have a problem. The Skintaker claims that he has technically never drank root beer, because it goes right through him, but he likes the taste.

• Throughout the show, Percy grows more and more cowardly, to the point his fear just turns into a full-blown paranoia. This is another reason why some people remember Percy being the villain, since in the last episode, he grows so paranoid that Janice might betray him that he turns on her by attacking her at a cave.

• That was also the episode where Horace finally refers to Percy by his name, with most people who do remember this episode remembering Horace confronting Percy by saying "Again, Percy? Really?" The line seemingly implies that Percy has done such a thing before, possibly to his last crew. Horace then went to tell the Skintaker that the Coward had done it again, only for the Skintaker to laugh for a minute straight.

• The show ended on a cliffhanger. We don't know if Janice survived or not, but considering the episode ended with a "To be continued...?" screen, she was most likely intended to. That, or the studio chose to leave it up to interpretation in case they were not renewed, which ended up being the case, as no more episodes of Candle Cove aired.

• The Screaming Episode randomly aired off and on again. Nobody knows where it would've gone in the timeline, if anywhere at all.

• The episodes always ended with Percy and Janice going to sleep. Percy would call asleep at his desk, in the Captain's Quarters, and Janice would like down in a hammock below the deck. During episodes that included Horace or the Skintaker, it'd show them going to bed, where Horace would curl up in a sleeping bag and the Skintaker would just kind of... stare at the screen for a minute or two. Then, after everybody went to bed, there was footage of a live action candle being blown out. The only episodes that didn't end this way were The Screaming Episode, which cut off abruptly, and the final episode, which has Percy sitting on the Laughingstock alone before the "To be continued...?" screen popped up.

Episode 2: The Stranger on the Roof

Welcome once again to CandleCove Island. I decided against adding more characters this time because Milo, Horace, and Skin-Taker haven't really met anyone yet, and I wanted to give them time to acclimate to their new environment. But I'm glad I didn't because I have the feeling a particular friendship wouldn't have formed if I did....

FRIENDSHIP

Poppy made friends with Horace.

Percy made friends with Skin-Taker.

Skin-Taker made friends with Horace.

Skin-Taker made friends with Janice.

Percy and Poppy had a minor fight (about what, I don't know), but they worked it out.

Skin-Taker made friends with Poppy, and not only that, but 2 minutes after they met, they became best friends.

Let's see how long this lasts.

FOOD

Janice and Horace had some very specific cravings that day.

I couldn't actually give them those foods because the food store just opened and it only has about 20 items in stock total, so instead I gave Janice popcorn (which she didn't like) and Horace octopus (which he did like).

Speaking of being picky...

CLOTHING

Wh... "jewel dress"??

Buddy. This is THE most expensive clothing item in the game. Who do you think I am? (He didn't even ask nicely, geez!)

I did give him a different dress, but he wasn't quite satisfied with it.

Maybe he wanted to show off to other pirates how much jewels and treasure he has? I don't know.

Janice, Horace, and Skin-Taker also asked for clothes, and I figured I'd give Poppy and Milo something as well so they wouldn't have to keep wearing the default clothes.

EVERYTHING ELSE

Milo asked for an interior, so I got him one.

I don't think it suits him that well (it looks way too clean and stylish), but the interior store didn't have a lot of selection.

Also, I unfortunately can't change Horace's and Skin-Taker's hellish checkerboard interiors because I haven't made that much money in this game yet. Milo's interior alone cost me half my savings.

I gave Skin-Taker this thing called a "rent-a-cat coupon," so now a cat will come visit him sometimes.

I also gave Milo a punching bag so he could have a healthy outlet for his violent tendencies.

Also, I don't have video evidence of this, but please believe me when I say Milo farted LOUDLY, MULTIPLE TIMES while I was scrolling through the apartments. He disgusts me.

I gave Horace and Skin-Taker catchphrases.

Everyone wanted to take baths that day for some reason? And asking me to give them bath sets?

Probably because of Milo's farty ass stinking up the apartment building and making everyone want to wash the smell off themselves...

Janice tried to sell me some octopus.

Milo had a strange experience that day...

...

...Well, that wraps up episode 2! Next episode, I'm throwing Calvery, Dr. Heartfelt, Ms. Laughingstock, Sunny, Hoody Hans, and ManBearPig into the fray! I'll post bonus footage as its own separate post because I think I'm at Tumblr's photo limit. See you next time!

Milo and Percy

Speedpaint + Uncolored version

Pirate Percy headcannons :DDDD

(also just a quick tw/cw for mentioning triggering topics such as poor hygiene, scars, animal attacks, paranoia, anxiety attacks, ED/anorexia,mentionings of loud chewing/drinking noises so just incase if you feel triggered by these certain subjects then I'd recommend not looking at this post for your own safety/srs/nm)

Percy is actually surprisingly 2 inches taller than Milo, and Milo is FURIOUS about it.

Shockingly, he enjoys the rain, it calms them down. The only downside to it is thunderstorms and lightening.

He is either non-binary or an unknown gender, they still uses he/they pronouns. I think the unknown gender fits him since they were made from other dolls. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Instead of playing with a flute, he plays a orcarina, it was a gift from Thade and made out of seashells.

They also play the kalimba. (⁠･ั⁠ω⁠･ั⁠)

He calms Janice down during her anxiety attacks while playing they're ocarina, she enjoys it and calms down after, she likes how it sounds.

Percy goes to Dr. Heartfelt for comfort after they're daily scolding from other members including Milo, Dr. Heartfelt let's him stay in his office for the whole day.

He is surprisingly a good actor, able to pull off good tricks to con men to gain some coins and stuff for poppy and the crew.

He also pulls off like a stunt to like get back at Milo, they use like the cowardly baby persona to get back at Milo. This hc was like inspired by Drheartfeltlover or something

They also uses it to like trick people and stuff to steal some stuff

He'd had a jar of seashells before, they would craft necklaces and bracelets with Janice

He was also the tarantula crew's chef back then, he still cooks for the laughingstock crew. They're pretty good at it. :)

Surprisingly, he doesn't eat that much, which is a struggle for them since they suffers from an ED.

He does not take care of himself often, resulting in poor dental/food/hygiene.

They surprisingly swear in Russian whenever pissed. ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ

He'd had a couple of scars on they're back and neck due to animal attacks or fights.

They get lost easily whenever the crew goes to an island.

He ABSOLUTELY CANNOT stand loud chewing/drinking.

They have a bad habit of shaking their legs due to anxiety.

Could be on the ace spectrum.

He somehow can have they're pupils dilated for whenever reason they feel like it, just to freak people out for the fun of it.

Maybe the ADHD/Autism spectrum

Trans male

That's all I have (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)
