#ctm headcanon

[shelaghdette]

headcanon with evidence: shelagh turner is autistic/neurodivergent!

intense interests: shelagh's special interest is obviously the science of midwifery. she's only 30 years old at the beginning of the series, but already her expertise is virtually on par with the older nuns. her deep knowledge is very well respected by her patients and colleagues. she also LOVES to talk about it, you can see her face light up every time she has a chance.

hyperfocus: when shelagh is completely absorbed in a task, she struggles to notice anything else around her. for example, in the very first episode, she doesn't even notice jenny is in the room when she comes to inform sister julienne about her latest delivery. when sister julienne introduces her to jenny, she only very briefly acknowledges her, and then goes back to talking about work, which ties into -

struggling with social cues: in scenes with lots of shelagh dialogue, notice how she struggles to make prolonged eye contact. a notable exception is sister julienne and, later, patrick, but this makes sense. a lot of autistic people struggle to make eye contact generally, but have a few "safe people" with whom it's a lot easier. shelagh also struggles with boundaries, indicated by her lack of ability to ask for help when she needs it or say no when she's asked to do something. she can also be very blunt and forthright about her opinions, such as when she tells jenny to "please stop wittering on about vegetables, i could not care less." she wasn't trying to be rude, she was just indicating her disinterest in the subject in a very to-the-point way. also, when she was infodumping about the bri-nylon nightie, and CLEARLY misunderstanding cues that patrick thought she was extremely sexy in that little get-up 😳😏

stimming: shelagh is CONSTANTLY stimming. most notable are her hand movements, she fidgets with her hands a lot, and when she sits at a table, she often keeps her hands below the surface. i believe this is so she can subtly stim without attracting attention. oh, and you know the autistic stereotype of velociraptor arms? well, i give you...

masking: she's a social chameleon. her speech mannerisms were much more formal and clipped while she was still in the religious life, because she was holding herself to a certain standard, even though it's not necessarily required (look at sister evangelina). i think she was trying to model her behaviour and mannerisms on sister julienne, which is SO COMMON for autistic women to copy the behaviour of someone they admire in order to blend. she also "mirrors" body language, seen here. (both have their hands in their pockets, their legs are the same width apart. also peep my babygirl not making eye contact AGAIN while he's directly looking at her face!)

exaggerated facial expressions and emotive tone of voice: it's a common misconception that autistic people always have monotonous voices and flat facial affect. some do, but just as many are the complete opposite and actually have really varied expressions and tones. ctm fans who don't like shelagh tend to point this fact out about her, but to me it just makes her relatable, because i'm a really emotive autistic person too!

also, this is just anecdotal, but all of my autistic friends who watch ctm agree with me that shelagh is most likely autistic. and we're really good at identifying autistic traits in others.

these are just my observations from watching the show, as an autistic person. if you don't share these views, that's fine! but please be mindful of what you say if you aren't neurodivergent ♡

[neroushalvaus]

I can't believe they did that episode where Delia asks Patsy to go to a lesbian bar with her because "there will be women like us" and Patsy responds with "i don't want to be with women like us, i want to be with you", and she doesn't seem willing to discuss it any further

But in that episode Patsy treats a woman called Daisy who lives on a boat with her family, and when Daisy starts giving birth and Patsy can't get to her right away, the other women who live on boats with their families do what they can to help Daisy. And they tell her that it doesn't matter that they haven't met her before, they know what her life is like so they know her and they are already friends. Then later, when Daisy holds her baby, she asks Patsy to not cut the umbilical cord right away, because "there are worse things than to be a part of something bigger, even for just a little while"

So when the episode ends, Patsy and Delia enter the lesbian bar, clasp hands and dance together

[aretheyqueer]

Is he gay?

disclaimer: this is a hc, not speculating on what the writers intentions were.

reason under the cut!

Okay I know Chess The Musical is a pretty niche fandom so for those who don't know it, a little bit of relevant general background: with theater obviously often things can change from production to production, but some of the major different versions of Chess have famously been DRAMATICALLY different from each other, meaning it's a show where *all* the characters are very, very prime for interpretation and re-interpretation. But with Freddie in particular, its a pretty common fan interpretation that he's a closeted gay man.

Some individual productions can play this up but I don't think any of the major "official" ones have ever pushed it to the point of being "canon"/anything beyond ambiguous.

There's a couple reasons why some people interpret him this way/would choose to play him this way: he's prickly and aggressive in a way that can be read as overcompensation, but also more specifically his big solo has him talking about his troubled childhood and abandonment issues including his father abandoning his family and that his father thought he was "probably queer", and in the concept album version of the show (though this line has been changed in most(?) subsequent versions) someone else outright calls him a fruit (the line specifically is: "through the elegant yelling of this compelling dispute comes the ghastly suspicion my opposition's [Freddie] a fruit").

[mai-mai-lim]

writing something related to the CCC in the previous post made me wanna expand a bit on how the faction contain chaos outside their base vs when it happened IN their base (relating to my sticksona's ruckus incident)

we know that when chaos happened way outside their base/near their mobile unit (from StD and CtM), they see readings of it and react to it, and kinda just pressed a button to deal with it and doesnt care much about the consequences, no CCC workers will be harmed, presumably

but in ItA, when the Toppat and Government raid happened too close to them, it overwhelmed them, leading to an evacuation and an experienced director to deal with the chaos. (minor shoutout from FtC where Kyle is just curl into a ball)

so i honestly wonder if, just what if, chaos happened right inside their base, how would they react?

in CCC!Mai's ruckus incident, i made the faction react 'normally', as in actually want to contain chaos by finding the root cause since its right in front of them, maybe they have chaotic options but subduing the cause is possibly the best decision to them at the moment, the base was definitely being evacuated while the experienced tried to stop her

looking back to ItA, the cause is right in front of them too, but the more chaotic options are considered fails (i guess its moreso that Henry is there and it killed him), while the prototype option looks like a heads-on approach to neutralize the chaos

i gotta be honest, the whole 'playing it straight' method is more of wanting to subvert the CCC, but the more i think of it, the CCC would actually do it, right?

**** This is going to be the last ranfren post I'll make ****

I'm pretty sure some of you may know (and by looking into the community, will probably tell me to "grow up" lololol), the ranfren creator has... a VERY problematic past (that i properly searched and educated myself about)... and I no longer want to associate with their work (simple as that, really)☝️🤓

[Context as to Why I'm Uploading this xd]:

I was in the process of drawing this page (with the intention of uploading it ywy) before finding about the LORE about the making of the Ranfren series, so I couldn't bring myself to NOT upload this after putting a lot of work in for it... and we find ourselves here in this awkward situation :v

So with this, I will bid the series adieu and continue uploading art of my other interests 🙇‍♂️

**** Esto será el último blog de Ranfren que haré ****

Estoy seguro que algunos de ustedes saben (y al mirar los tipos de la comunidad, probablemente me dirán que "ctm/no mms" xdxd), el creador de Ranfren tiene... un pasado MUY problemático (en la cual yo tome el tiempo para buscar para que me eduque adecuadamente)... y ya no quiero asociarme con su trabajo (así de simple, la neta JAJA) ☝️🤓

[Contexto de pq subo esto xdxd]:

Estaba en el proceso de terminar este dibujo (con la intención de subirla ;-;) antes de enterarme de la HISTORIA sobre la creación de la serie Ranfren, así que como no subir este dibujo después de ponerle tanto esfuerzo para terminarlo, y pues... ahora nos encontramos aquí en esta situación incomoda :v

Así que con esto, me despido de la serie y continuaré subiendo arte de mis otros intereses 🙇‍♂️

[jsabconfessions]

Alright, get ready. I'm about to say something controversial.

*inhales*

I don't like depictions of Cube with their claws/ other industrial objects pre-Corruption.

LET ME EXPLAIN.

It's probably a headcanon thing I picked up, but I believe that, after Cube was Corrupted, different industrial equipment (saws, claws, gears, etc) kinda fused with their body. Maybe because I love the implied body horror this generates.

But the afromented depictions often just have them... as like a power or extension? If this is a robotic depiction of them, that would make sense, but having them on a normal/ canon divergent version makes it feel... strange?

I feel like it takes away the rawness of the CTM bossfight. The rawness of fighting your best friend after they've been Corrupted and mutated beyond belief, while they're trying to fight back and in extreme pain from all the things that just suddenly fused to them.

If you just imply that they've had these claws/ saws from the beginning, it... kinda ruins that appeal. Not fully, but at least one of the defining aspects of the fight.

Then again, this is a game about shapes and beats, so who am I to complain?

That is!! A very understandable take/interpretation going on!

[stop-spreading-this-poll]

Round 1 Poll 71: What's canon

Gravity Falls submission:

Enforcing Ford(and by proxy- Stan)'s eye color. Did the creator (outside of any sort of canon material) say that Stan specifically had brown eyes (and also phrased in a way where you could interpret it as only one eye being brown)? Yes. However, I have an argument for this one! Alex Hirsch has said lots of things in the past (again, outside of any canon material) that most people just take to not be canon. So why is this specific one the exception? Why are people wrong if they decided to headcanon other eye colors for the characters? My issue here isn't headcanoning the characters as having brown eyes. You are fully allowed to do that- there's no problems with that. My issue is when people start telling everyone that this (despite appearing nowhere in canon) is what you have to abide by and that any headcanons for other eye colors are just wrong. I think if we're allowed to treat other things he says as non-canon, then we should be allowed to do the same when he starts talking about eye colors. No one is correct and no one is wrong. Let people have fun with their eye color headcanons.

The Henry Stickmin Collection submission:

It isn't really a spread rumor as far as I know, but the whole debate of which CtM ending is canon. They ALL are. Even VH sadly.

[iknowiknowiknowtheend]

werid etho headcanons include. can climb up walls. not very reliably but if a normal person and etho had to try to scramble up a wall etho would have a higher chance of getting there. he could’ve had that winter/summer coat hair. but alas. he lived in the Very Really Cold until he was like. idk seventeenish so atp it was like brah ur hair is Staying White. I totally subscribe to team canada brotherhood. not a single one of them is actually blood related it’s a state of mind. they were like the we bare bears. let’s just be bros now.

etho couldn’t talk for a week because he was Oh So Sick and he could only talk in game chat so now he can do sign language ^_^ yay.

pause and beef meet etho and he’s all alone in the very really cold but he’s like oh a people. he talks to them in sign though and pause is like okay I can do that. a little. eventually it’s like okay brah I’m not that good and he’s fumbling and etho clears his throat and goes I can talk too and they just stare at him. he just chose not too. bro rarely sees people and therefore rarely talks so he’d mostly sign when he’d encounter visitors so he can not get made fun of for Extended morning voice keep his no talkies streak.

ethos still a lizard I just decided he’s like. backwards. a tad. like cold blooded is usually COLD BAD warm good ^_^ but I flip that actually. cold very good hes more productive that way. if it’s warm though it’s just so cozy he’s gonna go take a nap ^_^

pause and beef very accustomed to etho face. etho always wore his mask but he didn’t start committing to Mask Always until after he made more friends because it’s like hey etho what do u look like without the mask and he’s like . I can do a little trolling with this. and this it became a bit. team canada ctms though he doesn’t wear it all the time so he can chug potions when Uh Oh The Bad

pause and etho r insufferable they chase each other around in circles in my head because it’s funny. they Will team up on beef though to make fun of him.

My name is @flamingredanon and this blog is where I'll post images, fics and ramble about my favorite THSC ships, especially Rightmin (I ship alot of ships, within reason)

And for those wondering or worried, I headcanon Right, Reginald and Ellie as being in their thirties after the events of CtM, as we don't have official ages for them other then that they are adults, if Puff ever gives them official ages and that there is a considerable age gap then all works and art will be deleted in respect.

All rules that follow my regular blog applies here as well.

Simp anon here to chatt

First, since I wanna start of sweet, IEKSJEJFJSJ THE NEW CTM CHAOTER G RABBED ME BY THE NECK AND GAVE ME SO MUCH JOYYY WIEJIEJIRJRNEJE YESS THW TWO DUMBOS FINALLY KISSED! YES!

Ok now onto the usual "Simp Anon's Spice"

Not only does he have stamina, Tact!Donnie would definitely have the strength of a ninja and a super soldier because come on, it's Donnie! He threw a weight like a frisbee and the person he took it from fell over.

Now anyways, I got slightly off track-

If he ever feels BwB {hehe bewb} is getting a bit too bratty or something, I feel like he would just lift them up and drop them down along with his rhythm to get to them even harder, basically shutting them up from their brattiness. Especially if he speeds up. He would even probably have the BwB turned facing him so he can see the smug, bratty look on their face just change as he ramps everything up from like a 5 to 10000. Probably with a killer, smug smirk too. {I mean killer for me I love when hot dudes smirk-}

Simp anon has entered my feed to wreck my whole dash! Always a pleasure 💀💦

haha, you've branded yourself so much with your saucy Tactical headcanons that I almost can't imagine you reading CTM anymore! 😂

That.... OH MAN.... THAT.... THAT MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST BLUSH YET, I HAD TO WALK AWAY FROM MY LAPTOP FOR A MOMENT HOO-BOY!!!!

[uss-copperright]

So I made a cybernetic design for Terrence

I’m back! I know it’s been a while, and I actually no longer have access to my electronic drawing software, so expect mostly hand-drawn stuff for now. I’ve wanted to create a cybernetic design for Terrence Suave, and I finally pulled the trigger and did it. I hope you enjoy!

Look below the cut for more information and some story background

So my idea for this is that Terrence was revived relatively shortly after his death, when cybernetic technology was still pretty basic. I did my best to make this design look like an amalgamation of styles, what with the screen on the right and the laser eye on the left. I headcanon that Terrence was overthrown in Reginald’s signature style: literally being dropped off whatever base was in use during his leadership. My thoughts behind that was that his head probably would not have all that much physical damage since the rest of his body took the brunt of it, but his brain would be in bad shape and need to be repaired with cybernetics, hence the fairly extensive augmentations.

We have evidence that Terrence is vain (see his portrait from CTM, where he’s holding the gold-plated gun) which is why I opted to go for gold plating on the supports for his laser eye.

The most fun part of this design, that honestly I couldn’t figure out how to draw, is the idea that his mouth is a literal zipper. Short of having to reach up to open it, it functions the same way. I liked the idea that the top and bottom would look like one piece until they separated. Plus the idea of having literal metal teeth felt like it fit him.

Share your thoughts in the comments! I’d love to know what you think.

[sohelish]

The Doonnarh time travel technology; first draft; wip

I haven't come up with all the aspects of the type of time travel the Doonnarh engage in, but I had this idea that their technology works on the principles closer to that of H.G. Wells (gosh, I love the classics I'm sorry);

In this case the user is enveloped in a sort of a bubble, I'm thinking tachyon particle bubble? That "speeds up" and isolates the user out of their current state of existence, allowing to then "fast forward or reverse" time. And this is why I think this suits me very well narratively. The concept of a temporal bubble is a way to explore time travel without directly influencing the timeline.

I default Helena to a ToS-like timeline. At least, I'd like to think that most of those events are canon to her, then I can also tailor and choose, which events are applicable, depending on my desire. Whenever she travels to the "future," she always, unless a drastic mistake in calculations occurs, arrives at a point in time where she is "unknown." Because she left in a specific moment in time and never influenced the outcome of the future. If she travels to the past, there is slightly more risk, even if the technology ensures that she becomes a passive observer, immune to the changes she might otherwise cause. It's not recommended to travel to the past, generally. The technology leans into exploring alternate realities rather than the user's timeline.

Here where it gets??? The tachyons act as a sort of navigational tool? Allowing precise tuning to specific points in time and space by riding the vibrations of the strings? That's... a work in progress, and I'm no physicist. I only know that I also need to elaborate on the differences between the Temporal Bubble Technology (TBT?) and Classic Temporal Manipulation (CTM?);

I was also thinking about "entangled nodes" aka key events in time, where changes create ripples across the timeline. Like... there's an established link between certain events due to quantum entanglement and it allows for the manipulation of said events, where changes in one era directly affect another? I headcanon that Helena has a bit of a better chance to travel to the past with few repercussions because in plenty alternate timelines she died at a younger age during the Aktau station incident. And that incident is one of those entangled events that's prevalent throughout most timelines...? Err? This is where I am tired an I call quits for now.

[teamtriplethreat]

I know it’s kind of empty

But I’m planning on posting things here soon. First I’ll work on an introductory post that will basically cover the details on what’s going on (with art of course!) and I’ll do asks in the second post if it all fits! Which is to say, please ask things if you have asks right off the bat! Some things you may want to know are that this takes place (technically) in triple threat, but the events of completing the mission have already happened. Now Henry can strangely see the resets, and has yet to tell his friends. The reason this happens after ctm is because according to Puffballs, Henry has never been able to see the endings, even during ctm, so to basically stay headcanon (without it technically being stated false), the events happen even after we see the end screen, so ever since offscreen happened essentially! I’ll go into more detail about all of this soon, as well as where everybody generally is, toppats, government, etc! Yeah, there is a bit of trauma in the blog because with stickmin learning of his powers, he learns of the various resets, other endings etc, but he cannot go to the other endings, he’s just aware they exist, and has flashes to them. I figure it would make the most sense if he isn’t able to go there, but is able to see flashes, he might not have context for certain endings, like tcw or vh :’) Sorry so many words! It will mostly be art from askblog onward ><

[waluigis-837th-testicle]

Noakes headcanon time!

We know Peter is direct, ardent, almost cheesy in his affection for Chummy. Their “song” in canon in the late 1950′s is Bobby Helms’ “You Are My Special Angel,” for goodness’ sake.

We also know that Peter and Chummy like to dance together. Their third date is to a dance, and even though they’re both inexperienced and awkward, they seem to have a blast once they’re finally out on the floor together. Next season we see them slow-dancing together in their bedroom, in their dressing gowns.

I think that, going forward into the 1960′s, Peter continues to collect songs here and there that make him think of his Camilla. The lyrics of these songs are always words of utter devotion, no holds barred. (Another example I posted about a couple weeks ago was “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy.”)

When the Noakeses get a babysitter and go out for the evening, just the two of them, they continue to go dancing from time to time. Though physical grace doesn’t come naturally to either of them, eventually they become pretty decent dancers through the sheer amount of practice. At least, they dance well with each other. Whenever they swap out with other couples, Peter struggles to tamp down his leading style so that he doesn’t accidentally fling a smaller woman clear across the room...

But anyway. By 1967, Peter and Chummy are more than skilled enough to dance together to this new up-tempo tune, right up Peter’s alley with its tender lyrics, and with a “swing” reminiscent of the music of their courtship days.
