#headcanon proven canon

I'm so glad we got the latest deleted scene from Sonic 3 cuz my next headcanon/theory was gonna be how Eggman is a Twitch streamer, and that's why he knows the terms "trauma dumping" and "entered the chat".

Look, I just think we as a fandom have not considered an alternative Hansry ending where Jitka is a lesbian, her and Hans are in a lavender marriage and have agreed to let each other do whatever the hell they please when it comes to lovers. Jitka gets to pursue all the beautiful lady knights and court damsels while Henry and Hans continue being grossly in love disaster bisexuals who go on way too many hunting trips. Everyone respects each other, nobody’s unhappy because they’re all getting what they want and nobody outside of their relationship can sabotage it because they’re all in agreement with the situation and can just laugh in their faces while being absolutely, unapologetically queer.

My Theory on Pachacamac and The Iblis Trigger

There is talk about how much they changed Pachacamac from a warmongering, power hungry tribal leader, to a goofy grandpa figure, but I think the truth of Pachacamac's nature might be somewhere between the two interpretations. Despite his friendliness, you can't forget he did lead a clan that wiped out the owls with a singleminded focus on capturing Sonic and reclaiming The Master Emerald. Pachacamac, now a ghost, has visited Knuckles to tell him he needs to expand his tribe. There are no other echidnas left, so he asks the sole survivor to take on an apprentice. "Show him our customs, teach him our traditions, and soon our tribe will grow once again."

There is no acceptance or acknowledgement of the fact that the clan's current situation is the result of a bloody feud and the destruction of an entire race besides their own. There is also, unsettlingly, no acknowledgement of Tails, Sonic, or The Wachowskis as members of Knuckles' clan.

While there are questionable elements to Pachacamac's approach, his motivations are at least understandable. Knuckles is a minority– the last of his tribe and the only surviving member of his species, so of course his old chief wants to see their traditions and culture preserved.

Things only get really weird when Pachacamac takes hold of Wade– Knuckles' apprentice and the soon-to-be new addition to their clan–and rewrites history. Rather than the tale of a lone owl that the echidnas hunted down in a quest for power, the story is instead of an entire flock of owls that were the aggressors, killing off Knuckles' tribe and burning down his village for no reason other than for the sake of the slaughter.

Similarly, Knuckles isn't described as a lost child left behind, but a fellow warrior who battled alongside his father until the bitter end.

So, knowing that Pachacamac's version of events is wrought with lies leads to one very serious question: What is the true story of Knuckles' battle with Iblis? If there's one thing we know about The Echidna Clan, it's that they are fixated on raw power. They're a warrior-focused society where the best fighter gets the highest honor and the most privileges. They were the ones who crafted The Master Emerald from the seven chaos emeralds. They were the ones who tracked down Sonic when he was a child with the intention of obtaining his power, before Long Claw wiped them out in her final struggle.

And who else do we know that was accidentally unleashed in a reckless pursuit of power?

Iblis, the raw power of the sun god Solaris. Iblis, who was sealed away within a child using the power of the chaos emeralds.

Now, there's no doubt that "The Flames of Disaster" in the SCU are very different from "The Flames of Disaster" in Sonic 06. In the movie universe the flames are merely a type of wieldable power rather than the name of an apocalyptic event. However... what better way to rewrite the fact that the echidna tribe nearly caused the end of the world and locked an immortal fire demon within an echidna child, than by pretending that The Flames of Disaster is just an inherent ability Knuckles unlocked through an epic battle?

What if "The Flames of Disaster" wasn't a power he obtained through a magnificent fight, but a power he survived after it was thrusted upon him by his elders? ... What if one of the many, many reasons reasons his father didn't let him join the fight was out of fear of what would happen if he cried?

I think one of the worst take I saw online about Haymitch is "he is ooc in the new book", almost followed by "he was better with Maysilee/Effie", and I don't know if it's better or worse than all of the misinterpretation of Coriolanus in the ballad. Like... Just because you had some fixed ideas before the book, doesn't mean the author is Wrong™. Suzanne didn't contraddict any extabilished canon and every added thing was a blessing and exactly what we asked for.

Too bad all of you only wanted a validation to your headcanons and are not open to analyze and understand what you just read.

Happy 4/13, here's the Deltritan or Satyr Equivalent to Dragon Ball for their species and civilization.

I was thinking of the Marauders (as I often do) and two separate ideas came together in a way I hadn’t considered before :

1. James and Lily canonically had a cat in their home in Godric’s Hollow (I don’t remember the details just that they had a cat and we don’t know what happened to it after 1981)

2. Regulus is often headcanonned as an illegal/secret Animagus and his Animagus form is often hc as a cat.

Upon linking these two separate ideas together, we can come up with lots of different fic ideas or just ideas in general :

-Regulus lives AU where he survives the cave and hides in his Animagus form and somehow becomes James and Lily’s cat

-Jegulily??? (I’m not a fervent Jegulily shipper but as a multishipper I’m intrigued by the concept and am open to reading Jegulily fics)

-is it a secret Regulus is keeping from James and Lily ? If yes, how and when do they find out ? This could lead to a fix-it fic where Regulus reveals his true identity when Voldemort comes to kill them, then they hunt Horcruxes together

-platonic Jily, James and Regulus are secretly together and Lily’s girlfriend/significant other is their secret keeper (I would prefer for the significant other to be Pandora since it would make more sense for her to know about Regulus’s secret and Voldemort would never find out about her relationship to James and Lily making her the ideal secret keeper)

So many potential fic ideas. Will I ever write them in my lifetime, considering the fact that my “fic ideas” document is already pages long ? Probably not. But if someone out there is interested by this concept and wants to write a fic, I’d love to read it ! And who knows, I might just circle back to this idea in the future (I am unable to write an unhappy ending to anything because I am a hopeless romantic and besides these characters die enough in canon and other fics so wouldn’t it be great of me to write my own fix-it fic ?)

Y’know, it’s always frustrating in a fandom when a regular ol’ fan makes a claim or states a theory and couches it in terms of “the creators meant this” or “the creator said this,” providing zero actual evidence of the creator saying or meaning “this,” and then thereafter other fans who’ve read the post or heard about it through the grapevine just assume that yes, this interpretation is canon, because “the creator said so” or “the creator obviously meant it.”

This can of course also happen without the original poster making a definite claim the creator did something; they can even say, “I think the creator meant this,” and if enough people read and think “oh hey that makes sense” about the post, later on there will still be people who act like it’s not just a fan-theory, it’s canon somehow.

Frustrating when you don’t share what is essentially a headcanon that’s risen to prominence. (Especially when the creator has actually, provably said the exact opposite thing.) But really, it’s frustrating regardless, because like…nobody asks for evidence? Not “what is there in canon that supports this theory” but “upon what extrinsic proof are you basing your claim that ‘the creator said/meant’.”

Plenty of neat fan-theories and headcanons have some support in canon. But if you’re gonna say “this IS CANON because THE CREATOR SAID/MEANT,” you’ve got to do more than just say that!

(Except, I guess you don’t. Because people will just learn to parrot you without evidence anyway.)

I did a survey on my Instagram about what people wanted to see for Inktober, and it turns out a lot of Whouffaldi people still follow me because this fanbase is dedicated af, so I figured I should get some practice in.

Putting this in its own post:

This word is nakayoshi! As you can see in the picture to the right, this word only has platonic connotations.

There is (currently) no official relationship other than platonic for SCC. (Currently) in canon, they are not stated as siblings or poly or even friends in the canon setting. (And Toby usually always states familial connections between characters).

This art comes from nelnal, who is the character designer, but Toby owns the characters.

Please stop coming into my or others ask boxes saying that your headcanon is canon when it’s so easily disproved by simply looking at the wiki.

Before TBoB: Bill is a chaotic little shit with all the powers to do what he wants. Give or take the needs to be in the real world and not the mindscape. A bit childish, but he doesn't really have any kind of other perspective, especially with those henchmaniacs. Treats things and people as little toys due to his powertrip mentality and once he's "Bored" off they go. (Bipper) If he was brought down to 0, he'd probably learn a few things or two on the slow regaining of power.

After TBob: He's a poor little meow meow who is shooting himself in the foot every time he's trying to get out and live again. (Who will also let me use my own entrails as a living feather boa for saying such) As he sits and 'rots' in his new home, he's going to slowly grow insane/dead inside (especially since he's already in a bargaining state) and be that one character who's in the background cutting paper and then stretch it out to be multiple dead humans (or dead Bills) with an un-amused look on his face. Would probably either grovel back to Ford ("I've CHANGED Fordsy!~" to Reincarnated Ford #???), or take instant revenge once he's done his time...and scream bloody murder on the return to his cell.

Also since I got on the topic I think now is a good time to point out, even if I've done it before which I can't remember if I have or not, that the only member of the Deadly Six to have survived meeting Sonic is Zavok-

//I believe people in Etheria can bleed. That wounds look like in reality. The story doesn't show it, likely for the rating, but it's mentioned that Etheria is a "precise simulation of reality." People inside can do everything they can in the real world and it feels the same. So injuries should work the same. Even if they're just visual representations of their data repairing itself.

And yes I believe the same is true for animuses. They are data in a purer sense than humans, having not been converted to Etheron data but born from it, and yet even so they function like humans aside from their powers. I think this is because they are highly entwined with the Etheron Field, which is generated by the consciousness of etherized humans. So some of those preconceived notions and expectations are imprinted.

Genesis, as a digital virus, manifests in a very tech-ish looking manner with all its glitchy red polygons. But regular injuries like taking a punch or something? The data gets a bit wonky and has to fix itself but visually it just looks like what you'd expect taking a punch to look like in the real world.
