Research.

in honor of pride month, are there any lgbt+ headcanons or ships for bh6 that you like?

Hmmmm. That is a good question.

I know that I have Peni/Addy in my stories (Hiro's cousin and her friend), but in terms of the actual team? Not really. Honey Lemon/Go Go probably intrigues me the most and why would they not? They're best friends, they share a apartment, they have "Emotional Moment Selfies". Or...at least one of them does.

I've never personally seen them as more than BFFS, but I completely understand that other people see them as more than that. And I think it's great.

Another person that I know gets brought up is Wasabi, probably because he's really the only guy who doesn't actively have anyone right now (Fred has Olivia and Hiro has Karmi). I also know that people were shipping him with Chris for a bit, which was...odd because he was a villain.

Not that that ever stopped anybody before.

Of course, my headcanons about relationships are just that. Headcanons. People are more than welcome to have their own ideas about the team, and I think that it's great that the fandom can have such a broad idea for people on the show. I don't personally have any of them in my stories (again, sans Peni/Addy), but that doesn't mean that anybody else shouldn't.

People should be able to be/love who they want to be/love without any sort of prejudice, either in the fictional world of San Fransokyo or in the real world.

(I’m only writing cuz I forget if I sent the original)

I’m only asking because you mentioned Peni’s coma in the response about research. As someone who’s been bugged by the science (and lack thereof) behind that for years and never commented (no offense, still a good story), did you mean that as an example of something with a scientific backing (and if so, what?) or something where you had to ignore science and logic (because that is not how electricity or the nervous system work)?

(For the record, what is being referred to is Peni's medical situation in Along Came The S.P.I.D.E.R. and Chapter 5, "Arachnophobia".)

It's a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B.

You (and as Karmi mentioned in the story) are absolutely right. That's not how electricity works. Electricity doesn't get stuck in the brain. That's not a thing. Electricity has been used to stimulate and even jumpstart brain activity, but it doesn't get trapped.

What complicates the situation that Peni was in, however, is the tech that she has in her neck that lets her operate the S.P.I.D.E.R. robot. She gets shocked by Michael and because she's essentially hardwired to the robot, that sends her into the coma. And being still attached to S.P.I.D.E.R. gives her body (and her spine, essentially) a constant flow of electricity, which is a danger regardless of the situation. It's like if you put your phone into a charger that gives it too much juice. It's going to overheat and cause your phone to destroy itself from the inside.

The "backdraft" situation that Karmi and Baymax explain to Hiro is also not a thing...technically. But dealing with a very sensitive part of your body that has wires and electricity going through it needs to be treated with some urgency, which Karmi understands because she's a biotech person.

So yeah, that part of the story wasn't based on pure science. There's a little bit of dramatization put in there as well. Part of the problem is that San Fransokyo is more technologically advanced than any normal place in this boring universe, so I sometimes have to exaggerate a bit.

And there's nothing wrong with that. I think the chapter came out really well, because in that case, the science came second to the human drama that was there (with Hiro and Go Go as well as him and Karmi).

Sometimes you have to find a balance between what is logical and what isn't. Like I said in the other Ask, COILs are logical. Honey Lemon making one on the fly and Kamehameha-ing it into a building is not. Even if it's not perfect, readers are smart. They'll figure things out on their end.

There’s Been Recent Rumors About Big Hero 6 Coming To The MCU Which Actors You Think Would Be Perfect For The Rule Also Including Characters From The Show And Your FanFiction Like Granville, Aspen, Robbie, Chief Cruz, Peni, Kate, Doreen, Liv/Di, Megan, And Last But Definitely Not Least Karmi. Forgive Me If I Forgot Some Characters But Hopefully I Covered Most Of Them. Love Your Stories.

(I actually forgot that I had this post, so my sincerest apologies, jr2157.  Thanks so much for the kind words, and I’m sorry that I missed this.) Even though the Big Hero 6 characters are not coming to the MCU (after about a day of believing that they would), it is still fun to think about who would play their live-action counterparts. I haven’t given it too much thought, but I think there are a few people that are straight up no-brainers: 1.) Go Go - Jamie Chung: No, I don’t care that she’s 37.  I literally cannot hear her without hearing Go Go. 2.) Honey Lemon - Genesis Rodriguez:  Also can’t hear her without imagining her. Now the problem is that Jamie and Genesis are only an inch difference in height (5′7″ vs 5′6″).  A bit too short on the Honey Lemon side, but I bet they could make it work with the heels. Back-Ups: Anna Konkle and Maya Erskine from PEN15 (Hulu show).  They have an interview on Conan that I saw and man, just add glasses on Anna and I think they could totally pass as Go Go and Honey Lemon. Now, Anna isn’t Hispanic, so that would be a problem.  XD 3.) Hiro Hamada - Ryan Potter: Yes, I know Potter’s taller than all of the actresses I picked for Go Go and Honey Lemon.  I don’t know that many 14 year old Japanese actors.  Cut me some slack. 4.) Karmi - Haley Tju: Haley is 4′11″.  The whole height difference schtick would be lost on these two if she was cast.  But unless you plan on chopping off some of his legs...they could still make it work. I know that a long time ago @iamaddictedtocoffee showed me an actress named Alba Flores (from La Casa de Papel) who I think has the right look for Karmi.  She’s also Spanish, so there’s that.  XD Plus...5′9″.  One inch higher than Potter. Or you can go for the bonus points and cast the person who’s actually playing Kamala/Ms. Marvel in her own show...Iman Vellani. 5.) Robbie Reyes - Gabriel Luna: You cannot have Robbie in any live action show and not have the OG on it.  You just can’t.  The guy nails the part so well in AOS. 6.) Professor Granville - Jenifer Lewis: She is hilarious on Black-ish, and she’s another character that I think could pull off the transistion to LA very well. 7.) Liv/Di Amara - Brie Larson: This is mostly playing off of the Liv Amara/Captain Marvel dynamic, but if you want a young, blonde actress that can turn menacing in the blink of an eye, Larson can do that. 8.) Peni Parker - Kimiko Glenn: Can’t have anyone else but the Into The Spider-Verse girl reprise her role for the live action version. 9.) Doreen Green/Squirrel Girl - Milana Vayntrub: Goddammit, Marvel.  You robbed us of her actual New Warriors appearance because you couldn’t get your show straight.  Give her a Big Hero 6 appearance so that she can have it again. 10.) Aspen Matthews - Seychelle Gabriel: An Aspen movie has been in development hell since all the way in 2009, with Megan Fox attached to play her.  Now, no offense to Megan Fox, but I don’t think she’s the right person for that job.  Seychelle (AKA Asami from Legend of Korra and Yue from A:TLA) has the voice and the chops to pull that off.  She’s actually who I would want to voice her in the show if in some alternate universe she managed to appear. I can’t really comment on anyone else until I actually sit down and think about it more.  But I guess this is where I would transition to the people who see this and ask my own questions: Who would you guys want to see in a live-action Big Hero 6 show/movie? I know that there are a lot of Obake lovers out there.  I’d be very interested to see who they would pick. ...As well as any other characters, of course. (I also like how this list is 90% “Take the VAs and put them into LA”.  Probably because I don’t have the creativity to think past that. XD)
