My headcanons regarding Peppy in Star Fox Adventures/Dinosaur Planet:

Fuck no I’m keeping his decrepit and raspy 200-year-old man voice. If he’s going to have an old voice, it’d be the reasonable, warm, and emotional voice he had in Assault, albeit with 64 or Zero’s Southern accent. Or better yet, he’s still Rick May. Rest in Piece, Rick May. You’ll always be Peppy Hare in my heart. And I mean, it works--Rick May would have been around his 70s when he last voiced Soldier in Expiration Date I believe. And he still kicked it with that rough and hearty voice. So no, I refuse to accept 34-Pack-A-Day Peppy Chris Seavor gave him. Take it or leave it.

Yes, age is a factor; he fought in battles and various missions when he was still in the Cornerian Army and prior to Pigma’s betrayal with the original Team Star Fox. Stress and war does that to you. And at 49, you’re not a spring chicken (rabbit?) anymore. With that said, as the peaceful years are rolling in after the Lylat Wars, and with Lucy as an adult with her own life, the decades of trauma constant war-time stress is finally showing up on Peppy. His stepping down from the Arwing has less to do “hurr hurr I’m an old wrinkly sack of shit” and more “my body can’t take this anymore, boys, being your parent is stressful enough, let me rest, dammit.”

Related to this as a major factor as to why he stopped (actively) piloting: his vision is failing him. I mean, it was Adventures wherein Peppy started wearing specs and hasn’t stopped until Zero (and that’s a reboot where he’s younger and prettier again lmao). Being a pilot, especially in space, requires exceptional vision, and Peppy is hardly as sharp-eyed as he used to be. In addition to his body being unable to handle the stress of piloting, Peppy declines using apparatuses that could have helped him with his failing vision in the cockpit to just give his head a rest through regular spectacles. I’m going to put that this is also why he opts for specs as opposed to contact lenses too.

And in general, the older you get, the more you body can’t handle stress anyway. I previously headcanoned Peppy as someone with chronic hypertension, and as a young 30-something adult who has had been in work environments where I was enduring enough stress to push my blood pressure to levels wherein I’m just a few numbers away from needing to go to the emergency room, YEAH. I’m in my 30s; at 49, a slight number change can easily land Peppy in the hospital. Peppy’s blood pressure literally can’t take being in the cockpit anymore. Yes, he’ll hop in for the occasional backup and emergency, but as an active member of the team, he’s ready to give his heart a rest and be an advisor from the Great Fox.

It was an old passion he had in his youth, but between being a pilot and a Saurian researcher, he chose to be a pilot. But the passion for Saurian history, culture, and geography was still there, just as a secondary thing. By the time the Lylat Wars was over and Team Star Fox was no longer receiving as many jobs as they used to, Peppy decided to take advantage of his downtime to research on Sauria as as hobby. This ended up advantageous when Sauria fell into pieces and Team Star Fox was tasked to help out.

As for the differentiating verses if he stays in the Great Fox or goes planetside on Sauria:

Great Fox: His health is at a point he can’t actively join Fox on the ground. Simple as that. He was probably constantly sick at that time. I mean, it took me almost a week to recover from my highest points of hypertension, so imagine that for someone nearly twice my age.

Sauria: He has managed his health enough to camp and explore Sauria on foot. He keeps his health in check often enough to know when to slow down and when to keep going. Otherwise, at 49, while he may have a bad back and can’t run, climb, and jump around like he used to, he’s still very strong and can climb a mountain without breaking anything if given enough time and patience. He communicates with Fox and Slippy via commlink as he explores Sauria. Personally I’d prever Slippy to accompany Peppy wherever he goes (Slippy is still young, what’s your excuse to stay on the Great Fox, bro? >:V ), but given this is Tumblr RP, I’m okay with Peppy striking it out on his own and whomever are my RP partners. If anything, this excites me because this would give Peppy a great opportunity to explore his character more at this stage of life.

And there you have it. Got anymore to ask about, contest, or just comment on, feel free to hmu with an Ask.

something that makes me happy: the beach. what’s your opinion on the beach?? cuz i rlly love it and i miss it honestly. i haven’t been in years and it’s a comfort to me tbh.

also headcanons for gavin???

hope you feel better, hon <333

Yes yes yes!!!!! I love the beach. I have a name that I go by irl that I chose and its actually because of the lake. I've lived in Michigan my whole life and while its kind of a trip to get there, there's a house on Lake Michigan that has always been my second home, and that lake will always be a home to me too. It's been my constant through childhood, depression, to now. Tbh it saved my life.

They stopped renting out that house a while back and chances are I wont see it again, so I chose a name that means lake, luck, and good food. As soon as all of this is over I am headed to Lake Michigan again.

Headcanons for Gavin, ooooh. I have a long list lmao

Obviously, trans and gay AF and related to Kamski.

He listens to Cavetown, has had top surgery and has been on T for years.

Absolute pro at Dance Dance Revolution (like this video - cw for flashing lights), loves to reference old memes and confuse the hell out of Nines with them (Nines is so over trying to talk with Tina and Gavin or Chris and Gavin at the same time). He and Tina also call each other bitch (affectionate) and whore (affectionate but how d a r e you).

He has ADHD and he also has stim toys lining up the back of his desk. His parents used to make him mask any signs of nerodivergency, but now he carries an attitude of "the louder the better and if it bugs you? Fuck off" (he'll never admit this, but he's also really good at respecting the needs of other people who have sensory issues and knows when to tone it down if he can. Obviously its not always possible.)

Gavin has had a lot of injuries and suffers from chronic pain. He also plays the guitar and frequently comes home with a stray cat he found on the job. Nines is getting a little sick of having to by yet another extra bag of cat food (liar)

My friend and I also have this on going thing where we'll send each other cat pictures and then whatever name we think Gavin or Nines would give them.

He would not choose to have a young kid, but he's really good with both kids and teens. Fowler is also practically his father after finding Gavin on the streets as a teen.

This is kind of more of a Lazzo hc, but I love the idea that when shit happens to Lazzo, even though he's like 18, Nines and Gavin will "kidnap" him off the streets and take care of rehabilitate him before releasing him back into the wild. I also love fics where Lazzo is also trans and Gavin Gets It which is why I'm planning yet another fic for self projection reasons.

Thanks Molly!!!! I'm definitely feeling better now. Its kinda been a rough week and today was particularly rough, but you and Evan have really helped <33
