f1sh and chips headcanons?

IVE BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS MOMENT MY WHOLE LIFE

HARMONY:

Nonbinary and kinda indifferent on their gender. Goes by She/They. Doesn't really care if you use other pronouns for them tho.

Aromantic and a lesbian. Is still ok with labeling a relationship as dating even if she doesn't experience romantic love the same way as other people.

Autistic, and doesn't always function super well as an adult on her own. But she's doing her best.

Collects stuffed animals and small toys.

Likes cute things, but some people would label their definition of cute as weird.

Loves bright colors. Crank that saturation up!

Very blunt.

Gets along pretty well with her bandmates. They aren't SUPER close but they are friends.

Knows she is different. Doesn't care. It probably used to bother them more when they were younger, but now she has come to terms with it.

House is very messy.

People are just drawn to her, she doesn't particularly like it.

A lot of people think that because she is blunt and speaks her mind that she doesn't ever lie and take everything she says at face value. He is very capable of lying and will do so for various reasons if needed. Or sometimes just cuz spreading misinformation is funny. Will tell you the sky is bright green with no hesitation and a deadpan expression.

Depressed. Is on medication for it and handles it ok ish...

Video game addict. You can usually find her at home in her pajamas playing some new game surrounded by empty instant ramen cups.

Mostly enjoys creative or cute games like pokemon, animal crossing, or minecraft. Doesn't play them often, but she is the absolute best at fighting games. Could beat anyone blindfolded. Is good at a lot of hard games, but doesn't really like that kind of stuff.

Plays a lot of things as they come out and probably has a blog where she reviews them.

Knows every skip and speedrun strat ever.

Likes platformers, especially 2d ones.

Collects old nintendo consoles/games.

Stims a lot with any object nearby. Likes to play with her bracelets a lot. Will just pick up random things and fidget with them.

Seems to be tired a lot, has bags under her eyes. Stays up late a lot but doesn't mind the lack of energy.

Very clumsy and has poor motor controls for a lot of things. Has to take frequent breaks when playing games or music. Gets hurt a lot bumping into random objects.

Issues with her wrists have been a problem for most of her life due to her hobbies, and she is surprisingly good at taking care of them nowadays. Used to not care but then some serious injuries happened and she realized she couldn't afford to do that.

DEDF1SH:

Bigender! He/She/They probably. Would maybe be open to neos if he found the right ones.

Demiromantic, Bi, and Asexual. Both Acht and Harmony are aspec(not for any reason what no i'm not biased as an aroace person noooo-)

When first getting out of the metro he was VERY malnourished and had a hard time eating food. He has a lot of texture issues and finds most foods unbearable to put in her mouth.

Has since gained her weight back and is looking more healthy.

Is very sensitive to sunlight, and burns very easily even in normal weather with minimal exposure. This is part of the reason she spends so much time alone indoors.

Eyes are also very sensitive to light after being sanitized and living in the deep for so long. This is why he wears sunglasses everywhere.

Is also autistic like harmony. (again, as an autistic person i am in no way biased towards headcanoning characters as autistic ok?) Is sensitive to sounds and wears noise canceling headphones a lot.

Goes nonverbal if overstimulated.

Doesn't talk that much, is more the type to say as few words as possible to get their sentence across.

Likes eating cereal with no milk. It's one of their favorite snacks.

LOVES fruit. They are that meme of the person covered in mango juice.

Just like harmony, his face isn't very expressive. But while harmony always looks like she's daydreaming, Acht often looks angry. This is especially true when she has her glasses on since you can't see her eyes.

Really likes fashion. Likes very femme alternative stuff specifically.

Is already naturally tall, and wears heels everywhere. Towers over most other octolings/inklings.

There are many lasting effects from the sanitization. Including physical and mental symptoms. Acht is slowly recovering tho!

Can play piano, just doesn't. Doesn't remember where they learned to, but it makes them feel slightly sad to play it.

Has amnesia due to the sanitization. Can remember things like skills, but not where they learned them or from who. Doesn't remember much of her past. Doesn't remember much family or friends either. Can picture some blurry faces, but not names or how they knew each other.

Tartar told her about her decision to be sanitized, and she has no choice but to have taken his word for why she decided to due so as she has no memory of it.

Has a hard time adjusting to life on the surface.

Has some trauma surrounding medical equipment, and doesn't like to go to doctors.

I've always Acht having known Marina before coming to the surface, but with Side Order confirming they know each other somehow i will wait to flesh that out until we get more info.

Is confident and somewhat social(especially compared to Harmony) but needs a lot of time to recharge their batteries after being around others.

ParuF1sh:

They both like to make music, and often make silly little songs together. Acht likes to take whatever Harmony hums and turn it into short songs.

Both of them don't sleep much. Harmony doesn't like to because she prefers to spend her time on hobbies n such instead. She also has insomnia, but since she doesn't like sleeping it doesn't really bother her TOO much. Acht on the other hand has issues sleeping due to frequent nightmares. She ends up having terrifying nightmares of her time with tartar or things she can't fully remember from before she was sanitized. Harmony is always there to comfort him when he wakes up sweating and frightened.

Both of them are very picky about food and so their pantries end up being stuffed with lots of their prefered safe foods.

Acht tries to push himself to leave his apartment in splatsville from time to time to avoid being totally disconnected from the world because that's what she did when she first got to the surface and it made her very depressed. On one of those trips Acht ended up visiting Hotlantis because he was just exploring various shops. He really liked the vibes of the shop and the wide variety of items that rotated frequently had him coming back. This is where the two of them first met.

At first Harmony and Acht didn't even notice each other despite Acht becoming a regular to come buy and look at weird little items. But eventually after having to check Acht out so many times she finally started to pay attention to what Acht was buying and noticed they had similar tastes. Then one day Harmony struck up a conversation with Acht and they became friends from there.

I think they are both poly and wouldn't mind if their partner dated someone else. But neither of them have another partner right now.

While they both may struggle with a lot of things they help each other out and manage to get through life ok.

It took a bit for Acht to get back to making music after getting out of the metro.

They like to watch ghibli movies while cuddling for a lot of their dates. They will watch all of them and then just start over with the first one again. I think the movies are comfort media for them. Harmony's favorite movie is Spirited Away and Acht's favorite is Kiki's Delivery Service.

Acht chills with Harmony's fish a lot i think.

Neither of them know how to cook.

Harmony leaves her work spaces very messy, but Acht keeps hers VERY neat.

Acht and Harmony both take surprisingly long to get ready and pick out outfits, but Acht takes much longer than Harmony.

They do a lot of parallel play where they just sit in silence and do their own thing.

Acht hangs out at Hotlantis with Harmony a lot and just keeps their headphones on and chills.

Acht also runs the store when Harmony isn't there.

They both listen to a lot of video game osts and it's probably what Harmony keeps playing in the store as well.

Acht has asked why Harmony doesn't stream playing games, and Harmony just doesn't wanna. She would rather just post reviews.

They swap whos the little spoon depending on the day.

Both of them have terrible sleep schedules.

The first time Acht ever saw a splatfest she was enamored, and now she makes sure to always attend the concerts. Harmony insists on keeping the store open since people are everywhere during splatfests and love to shop. But the floats come through the same streets as the shop, so Acht makes sure to pull her away to watch them at least once. And Harmony loves seeing the music as well.

Neither of them really participate in turf wars. Acht is older than most players and finds it awkward to team up with random teenagers but isn't willing to put together an official team of players her age. But she still likes to take her trusty squiffer out to the practice range to keep her skills sharp. Harmony LOVES to watch her practice.

I was about to go into a whole thing of which team they would pick for each splatfest and why, but i think thats gonna have to be later/if anyone asks for it cuz it may be too long for this post lol

so yeah ill end it there for now. they are my beloveds and i could talk about them forever so feel free to ask questions/send in suggestions/talk about how you view them

here is a goofy doodle i did in 5 mins on my laptop for compensation for reading this far:

Double Trouble Sexual Orientation Headcanons

I don’t know what inspired me to make this post, I just wanted to share my thoughts and the general vibes of various sexuality headcanons about our favorite enby lizard. Keep in mind, these are just my opinions, and they’re not backed up by evidence. This is all in good fun.

Under a cut because this might get long

Yes, I know that Jacob Tobia referred to them as gay in a tweet, and the SPOP Wiki lists them as Achillean based on this, but I’d argue this doesn’t technically count as canon, since it was never established in the show itself (the only possible mention being them calling Sea Hawk “Hot Stuff”), so I think people’s headcanons and non-achillean ships are perfectly valid. That said, I’m not against the idea of them being gay, and I can definitely see it.

Gay/Achillean: This definitely holds up. DT is a theatre kid, after all, and we all know theatre kids are gay (joking). They have big twink energy, and of course, the classic “That’s your cue, Hot Stuff.” Some of my favorite DT ships are with men (Bow, Wrong Hordak, Peekablue, and Sea Hawk). However, I still think they have good chemistry with Catra, and I personally like the headcanon that they had a crush on her and may have felt bitter at being second-best to Adora, thus fueling a bit of the meaner parts of their betrayal. I still imagine them with a preference for men, but I don’t think women are out of the running.

Lesbian/Sapphic: This one’s a lot less common. I’ve actually only seen one person headcanon this, though there may be a few more. They don’t quite give me lesbian vibes, but they do seem to have chemistry with Catra, and I like several ships involving DT with a woman (such as Catra, Adora, and Scorpia).

Bi/Pan/Omni/Poly: This is my personal headcanon and has been ever since I got to know the character. They just seem like the kind of person who has lots of affection to go around (whether this is romantic or sexual is up to you). I lean more towards bi or omni for them because, as I said, I feel like they have a preference for men, but I feel like they get crushes on women, too. Though, let’s be real, it’s more likely for people to crush on DT than the other way around. They KNOW they’re the hottest bitch on Etheria!

Aspec/Arospec: Another one of my personal favorites. Yes, I’m biased, since I’m ace, but COME ON, it’d be such a glorious defiance of expectations and stereotypes, and DT would live for the chaos they’d cause by oozing sexual energy and not being interested in doing a thing about it. They’d be this untouchable, irresistible them fatale and OWN IT. But I feel like they’d also be fun as an aroace because of their ability to read people. They’ve got it down to a science, and logically analyzing romance/sexual attraction in an attempt to understand it is SUCH an aroace mood. They also seem like the type who just wouldn’t be interested in dating, and as I said, it’d be great if this gorgeous, smooth-talking, flirtatious lizard in a skin-tight outfit wasn’t interested in sex. What a power move! Of course, you could also see them as ace and alloromantic, gray ace, demi, allosexual aro, etc. I like the idea of aroace DT as much as ace DT who DOES date. As for their intimate life, maybe they do, maybe they don’t, maybe they do and just don’t care much about it one way or the other, maybe they do only under specific circumstances—there’s a whole variety of ways an aspec and/or arospec DT can be written, and I think it’s one of the most interesting interpretations of this character!

Polyamorous: I mean. Obviously. DT is so easy to ship, so you might as well make them date everyone XD. But seriously, I love this headcanon and think it fits them very well, and it’s one that I include in daydreams and the few fanfic things I’ve written.

*Slams hands on table* Jenkins Good (my beloved) for ask meme please thanks im not biased at all. I love all the other ones you've done so far love learning what other people think of blaseball players :D

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh thank you so much! I hope you don't mind some of these Jenkins Opinions lol

favorite thing about them: They came to the Talkers from an alternate universe in S4 and just. never left. It was ages before they even got a brief dunk in the Shadows. They weren't the original Jenkins but they've become such an integral part of the team and I can't imagine it without them! also I admire their skill at gaming

least favorite thing about them: I still miss Original Jenkins and I wish we’d had more time with them, though I'm also quite attached to Alt Jenkins now

favorite line: well, one time they got rid of their cannon in exchange for some very cool greedy lucky socks, and everyone was very happy about this

...ok for an actual serious answer, they got to pitch three games against Dot, all of which were close and one of which they won, and I'm very proud

brOTP: Greer! Are they also dating? Maybe. But they're definitely close in one way or another. I also think that Jenkins and Jesús are Alt Solidarity despite coming from different universes, because for a long time they were the only two people on the team who really understood what the other was going through. and Jenkins is the unofficial slightly older fourth member of the teen squad due to also being a dork who plays video games and does food crimes

OTP: also Greer. relationship goals: someone who will eat the uncooked KD noodles so you can just eat the cheese packets

nOTP: ok I have some very specific thoughts about Jenkins and Dot, namely that Jenkins has a bit of a crush on them but nothing's ever going to happen there due to Dot being aroace. side note but I also think Greer has some kind of a weird crush on Dot and that's part of why she acts Like That towards them. She has big “I had a crush on a girl and didn't know how to deal with it so I just sent her a note that said GET OUT OF MY SCHOOL” energy. but then Greer and Jenkins end up together and they both get over it and it's all cool

random headcanon: I have a very messy tangle of thoughts about Jenkins and how they have to live up to two different Talkers star pitchers, one of whom is their alternate self... I think for the most part they're pretty chill and laid-back and just have fun pitching, but part of them really feels the need to prove themself because they can't just be Good, they need to be better

unpopular opinion: people don't do enough with Friend Of Crows Jenkins. I think they deserve to go absolutely feral and unleash an army of birds upon anyone they want to

song i associate with them: idk

favorite picture of them: I love all of your Jenkinses, especially the one of them with the birds

On LGBTQ+ Elves in KOTLC Canon

Aka more of my stupid ramblings.

So, obviously we have no canon LGBTQ+ rep in kotlc. And obviously I like to headcanon certain characters as certain genders and sexualities with a very ‘fuck canon’ sort of attitude. However, I also enjoy theorizing about how LGBTQ+ identities would work within the elven society. So, without further ado:

Gay/lesbian: Alright, I’m going to say it. Elves are probably homophobic, or at least the structure of their society is. The world is very heteronormative, and I can see elves pretending that gay people don’t even exist. Matchmakers focus on things like ideal genetic diversity, i.e. the people who would make the best babies together, i.e. straight couples. Given what we know about the elves, I’m guessing they would think that there’s something ‘wrong’ with gay people and generally pretend that they don’t exist. If you were a gay elf, the best you could do would probably be ‘single forever’ and live with your ‘best friend’.

Bi/pan: Again, given the heteronormativity of elven society, bi/pan elves’ attraction to people of the same gender would likely generally be discounted. Most bi/pan elves would probably get matchmaking lists as normal and generally pretend to be straight to avoid the scorn of society. That, or they could use the same strategy as gay/lesbian elves and be ‘single’ and live with their ‘best friend’ of the same gender.

Ace/aro: Like the other orientations, asexual and aromantic are not something that the elves would probably want to acknowledge. If one was aroace, the best option would probably be to simply never get match lists, but an alloromantic ace would have to try to explain it to potential partners, and an allosexual aromantic might or might not want to get match lists, all while their orientation is generally smoothed over by society. Demisexual/romantic and greyace/aro elves might have a bit of an easier time of it, but it would still be difficult.

Polyamorous: Given the general attitude of elves towards other non-heterosexual, heteroromantic, monogamous orientations, I think you can guess where this one is going. Elves are a pretty monogamous society, and having multiple partners would probably be seen as being unfaithful and morally wrong. Polyamorous elves would probably have to be quite secretive about it.

(Binary) Trans: Binary trans is a thorny problem, I could see elves going one of two ways on it. Either they would see it as an affront to nature and how they were born, or they would be fine as long as the person completely transitioned and passed as the opposite gender. I saw a fantastic post earlier along the lines of ‘elixirs could help trans elves transition’ and I think that could definitely apply. Elven society might not be 100% accepting but given that they quite possibly have the resources for a complete sex change, I think there’s a possibility that (binary) trans elves wouldn’t be quite as looked down on as gay, lesbian, bi, pan, ace, and aro elves.

Nonbinary: Nonbinary is a lot more difficult than binary trans, in terms of elven society being able to wrap their collective heads around it. Elves, as a rule, dislike deviations from the norm and people who can’t be put in neat boxes. Nonbinary as a concept would likely be difficult for them to understand. An alternate way this could go would be elves not placing much stock in gender in general, and/or seeing nonbinary people as a completely normal thing, but given what we know of elven society I would say it seems a lot less likely. Nonbinary elves would probably be consistently treated as their AGAB, unless they transitioned near-completely to presenting as the opposite gender, in which case they would be treated like binary trans elves.

Intersex: Frankly, given elves’ attitudes towards nonbinary people, again, I feel like they would try to cram intersex people into binary categories. They would likely try and ‘fix’ their bodies and make them either male or female, biologically. Which they might be able to do with elixirs, but which would be pretty shitty of them still. 

In conclusion, although it would be nice to think that elves would be more enlightened, given canon evidence it seems as if elven society would be pretty biased against LGBTQ+ people, with the possible (but not probable) exception of binary trans people.
