#headcanoning*

Lot of talk about Margot dressing in the style of wrap dresses that Alana used to wear in season 3, and about the scene where Alana helps her get dressed, and I'm going to take that another step forward and propose "Alana and Margot having a questionably negotiated D/s dynamic where Alana chooses all of Margot's clothes and styling, Vertigo-style, and specifically shapes her to be the visual reflection of Alana's former self"

The Powerpunk Girls were created specifically, intentionally, with an ingredient passed down through a centuries-old bloodline.

"Come along, you three. We've got work to do."

The Oppressor did not bother to name the girls at first, seeing them only as tools.

But they eventually earned their titles...

Brute came first, just after their birth. Brat soon followed, defying Plutonium in her typical manner. Berserk was named last, after proving her worth to her sisters and father.

Okay I have something to say because I'm pissed off

inhales

someone headcanoning a character as trans isn't harmful

I'm so tired of (trans) people getting harassed because they give their blorbo different pronouns. you don't have to accept their headcanon. you aren't being forced to call said blorbo by different pronouns. that's why it's a headcanon!!!!

Y'all ever like a character so much you start projecting random shit about yourself onto them?

Like, fuck you Zuko, your getting scoliosis.

Did I make myself cry drawing this while listening to the Pinocchio soundtrack? Yes. Yes I did.

projecting here but c!wilbur getting into writing/poetry because he struggles to verbalize his thoughts and he eventually does learn how through writing/poetry (but the skill erodes over time as his life falls apart)

A thing people don't think about enough is having the possibilities of having contrasting and different types of headcannons for a character, liking both versions and interpretations of said character,

like let me have both interpretations of a character that I like, they can be trans masculine OR trans feminine, heck, why not make them gender fluid? Non binary? Headcannons are about interpretation, and you can have multiple interpretations for a character you like,

so don't feel like you have to have the one major headcannon just because everyone unanimously agrees in a fandom, it's about what you like and what you want to express or enjoy- headcannons are about exploring what ifs or ideas, so dont feel like you have to have one major one that everyone agrees on.

It's what YOU want to headcannon and think about for FUN!

since coming out as non-binary i’ve noticed that I appreciate people headcanoning certain characters as trans a lot more

like before coming out I used to think it was a bit unnecessary and stuff

now I see someone talking about how they think a character is trans and I won’t even know the character and i’ll go “shit man that’s definitely a trans right there if I do say so m’self”

Self diagnosed culture is wanting to HC characters that shares symptoms with you as having [some mental ilness you might have] but being afraid to because what if I am faking and stuff

Do it! Headcanon all the characters you want! It hurts no one! :)

Ugh. Chiyoh. I do get frustrated sometimes with the way she’s relegated to nothing more than a helpmeet to Will and Hannibal, because I think even the meagre arc she gets in canon still offers more potential than is generally acknowledged in the fandom. But I do think the question of how she might aid Will and Hannibal’s escape and be something of an accomplice to the shady stuff they get up to, and what kind of dynamics that might bring up with both of them, is genuinely interesting!

And the thing that lingers on my mind is her presence at the end of Digestivo, where she watches Hannibal get taken away through her rifle scope but doesn’t interfere. Which makes me think she must have had some sort of conversation with Hannibal after their conversation clearing the air about Mischa, and after Hannibal leaves the house post-Will Breakup #2, because he must have informed her of what he was going to do. And he must have reassured her that he had faith that Will would eventually come around and break him out.

Which is really fascinating, because we see her get Will’s side of the story re: his relationship with Hannibal onscreen - she learns, broadly speaking, that Will accessed a part of himself with Hannibal that he’d never been able to understand before, and that he feels that he must resist the pull of that identification. And I can only imagine that what Hannibal tells her of his relationship with Will, in this context, is similar to the tack that Hannibal’s leaning on throughout Wrath of the Lamb - that Will can’t live without him, that he can trying to walk away but he will give in eventually.

And because Chiyoh is wavering on what to do throughout her arc but repeatedly settles on saving and protecting Hannibal, on honouring her bond with him, it stands to reason that she believes him about that. @menciemeer and I have discussed in the past the fact that Chiyoh seems very drawn in by the narratives Hannibal weaves, as evidenced by her devotion to Mischa’s memory despite never having met her in life. My assumption is that she’s drawn in by Hannibal’s narrative of who and what Will is in the same way. Mencie also raised the possibility in this thread that Chiyoh is very invested in stability and very wary of chaos and uncertainty - and with that in mind, imo it’s possible that she’s invested in Will giving in to Hannibal’s influence because she believes that Hannibal might steady him and keep his more impulsive side in check. (And it also means that more emphasis within their group dynamic is on Will accepting the parts of himself that Hannibal brings out in him, so that she doesn’t have to think about the parts of herself that Will forcefully drew out.)

The last part is why I can’t really buy the post-canon dynamic of Chiyoh being antagonistic towards Will specifically because she still thinks he’s a threat to Hannibal’s safety. If Will has joined Hannibal, then that threat has been more or less neutralized. She’s got plenty of reasons to be wary of or outright antagonistic towards Will, but I’m convinced those would be much more related to Will destabilizing the little environment she’d built with the prisoner and coercing her into violating her most stringently held rule about taking a life.

Some of my headcanons for The Powerpunk Girls and Viletown

Viletown isn't just an alignment swap, although that alone causes a butterfly effect of madness.
