Dante's past headcanon: He is an Amazon child

I've some thoughts about how we know nothing about Dante's past and I think I finally figured it out , thanks to the 1×19 Ladies' Choice.

Before we start to dig it up I want to tell you that unfortunately I do not know the comic-canon, so if there are some points I might have missed, please feel free to share.

So the things we know it's canon:

•Metz found the resting place of the Legendary Titan, Behemoth, however upon trying to take it from its resting place, he was cursed.

• On his travels, he saved the life of a young Amazon queen in Turkey. They got romantically involved and she died some time after that.

says HuntikWiki.

(I'm not sure are we accepting canonically Metz as Hippolyta's father or not but for the sake of this headcanon I do.)

I think the lifesaving situation between Metz and the Queen I mentioned earlier is about Behemaot's curse. They found Body Titan together and it's the reason why the Queen's life was in danger too. Afterwards, Metz tried to help her with his healing power and it worked for a while. This theory explains well both, why the Queen passed away so early (again I'm assuming she is not a Seeker, [based on canon], so that's how she affected more than Metz ) and also why is that Ring stayed in Amazons until our team arrives.

Metz probably thought it would be safer if the Titan stays where it belongs; Amazons' area has its own protection spell and he is the only person knows how to get there. Since he was involved with the Queen, he had connections with the Tribe too. If both of them could keep this secret, then the Titan's itself would be in safe. The Body Titan is another reason besides his wife, why he stayed in touch with Amazons.

So here comes Dante in this picture.

According to the mythology, Amazons cannot keep baby boys with them. (As far as I know, they either drown them or send them back to their fathers) But one day, a Seeker baby boy was born in the Tribe. He was so powerful that you can tell he is a something different from his birth. Therefore, the Queen decided to give him to Metz, the most trustworthy Outsider, her husband and also a strong Seeker.

If Dante's parents were friends of Metz or something like that, I'm sure it would have been mentioned in canon. Furtermore there weren't any other signs that Dante is also comes from streets like Zhalia, we haven't any painful flashbacks or stories.

This also kinda backs up why he is such a strong Seeker, because even if they aren't Seekers, I think Amazon women have their own kind of magic too.

And I find it very poetic actually, how later on that Amazon kid falls in love with another Amazon queen.

I can fix her (makes her worse)

I can’t do the huntik style for shit so I won’t even attempt to

[ropuszysko]

i just realised

we never really explored how traumatic it would be for dante to pull this whole comet thing??? like??? you know you are supposed to die and the only thing possibly saving you is an amulet that may or may not work??? which like, you die anyway, you can just be brought back to life? WE'VE SEEN HIS ASHES THIS MAN LITERALLY BURNT TO DEATH. IN SPACE. COLLIDING WITH A FUCKING COMET. if that doesn't give you ptsd i dont know what does

[zhaliacain]

One of my favourite headcanons for Zhante is that Zhalia will either cut or at least trim her own hair whenever she feels like it. She’s good at it so it’s fine.

Problem is Dante stabbed himself in the forehead with scissors as a teenager trying to cut his own hair and now he can’t stand getting hair cut by anyone other than a professional. Literally he can’t even stand other people cutting their own hair because it makes him feel squeamish.

So he hates Zhalia doing it herself because although he knows she’s perfectly capable it still makes him squeamish so he’d have to leave but paranoia response doesn’t want to leave in case she stabs herself in the head like he did. It’s that non serious fight they’re always having and Dante offers to pay for Zhalia to go to any hairdresser she picks but she refuses.

-please, I am literally begging you to go to a professional, I will pay for you to go, please put the scissors down.

-Dante I am cutting out a hairband that got knotted in my hair, calm tf down

-but-

-you stabbed your self one time! You use a razor everyday anyway, and who points the scissors at their face?!

A) I’m not that stupid b) I’m a trained spy, I know how to hit my target, and C) if you hide the scissors again I’m just going to use shadowpoint and it won’t just be my hair I’m cutting!

Huntik headcanon: a bachelorette party

Zhalia will refuse to hold a bachelorette party before her wedding with Dante. She realizes that her only friend-girl is Sophie. Zhalia has no any closer female friends, so she would not want to see anyone else at the party. But spending a bachelorette party with only Sophie was pointless, because it would be Sophie who would help Zhalia organize the wedding, look for a dress, prepare for the wedding. She will spend many days with her before the ceremony, will be morally supportive Zhalia, and these days will be their bachelorette party, because this time, which they will spend together as the only best friends for each other, will be cool.

[parusahontas]

May I make some addition?

Tulip field is one of the first things that comes to everyone's mind when they think about Netherlands. So after the end of season 1, our team became a little bit famous in Foundation and they started to meet lots of people. And everybody keeps asking to Zhalia the same question during the small talks: "Hmm, Netherlands. Have you ever been in a tulip field??"

At first she just slides around like "Yeah, there are tulips. Colorful ones." because she moved to Vienna when she was just a child and after she came back to Rotterdam I guess she hadn't a normal life to go on a sightseeing just for fun, due to the spying things. So she never had a chance to see these fields.

But people didn't stop asking and she's at the end of days like " If one single person asks me about those fucking tulips one more time, I'm gonna start to murder again"

This situation made Dante think about that idea; a tulip field date. Because why not; they have plently of free time since they won against the Professor and kids are going to school again. Also Zhalia's insurance agency in Rotterdam wants to talk her about a exploded house, so she has to go there.

And the rest is what you said, they had a great time.

Ps: Later on the time Zhalia takes the Twins to the fields too, because they haven't been there either.

Not from the post you shared but for Zhante's first *properly* date; tulip fields in Netherlands

I’ve never been to tulip fields before, so hopefully this is okay!

Dante is the one who is way more interested in looking at the flowers

Like this boy is pointing out the prettiest flowers to Zhalia and she is having the time of her life

They stopped for lunch on their drive out and got sandwiches

Zhalia likes any flowers that are different colors. Those are the ones she’ll stop and point out

Over all they’re both just having a grand old time

[reverienne]

What do you think about Zhante's early times (like from 1×3 to Klaus' first orders to Zhalia) I believe that there are more than just missions, maybe some texting, phone calls or secret meetings ?

If you define “secret” as “without Sophie knowing”, then it’s pretty much canon.

I mean, in s1e04 “Into the River of Secrets” Zhalia tells Dante that it would be faster if they split up and Dante tells her “Call up if there’s trouble” which means that they exchanged phone numbers before their trip to Rouen. Then, judging by Sophie’s surprise at Zhalia’s presence in the graveyard in s1e03 “Words of Truth, Heart of Lies” and Dante’s words “Take it easy. I asked her to come, alright?”, well, maybe Dante DID plan their graveyard trip a few minutes after the rescue and asked her to come in person, but maybe they just exchanged phone numbers a few minutes after the rescue and then he called/texted his request sometime later? Either way, I’m pretty sure that they exchanged phone numbers as soon as they left the hotel. It’s only practical to get your saviour’s phone number, especially in such a hostile city like Prague. Then Lok (and Sophie)’s surprise at Zhalia’s presence in s1e07 “The Legacy of Thor” and Zhalia’s words “Dante asked me to come!” are yet another strong indicator that Dante asked her, again, quite discreetly, not openly via his holotome but maybe via a text message on his phone… which doesn’t mean much, really. Dante knew that Sophie wouldn’t approve of Zhalia’s company and it’s certainly a case of “It’s easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for a permission” (though with Zhalia’s competency helping to save the day, you know that Sophie would have to grumpily admit that Zhalia was useful after all, no begging involved).

Personally, I do think that there was a certain amount of texting between Dante and Zhalia in the first half of the series but it was all kept short and professional? I strongly believe that they became a couple only after s1e20 “The Unseen Guide” and whatever happened before that, well, doesn’t compare to the content of their Logosbooks in the second season in the slightest, if you know what I mean. 😜

Fanfic Update Schedule: 2023 and onwards

This has been on my mind since I took my hiatus at the end of 2021. I've decided to semi-retire from fanfiction and focus on my original works. Here are my plans for my remaining stories.

Canceled

The Misfortune of Mack Garcia

To be Finished

A Mother's Sins

The Life of a Pet Owner

The Princess and Her Foxes

Misadventures in the Mundane World

Changing Perspective: A Pet's Tale

To be Continued Later

Gargoyles Mermaid Anthology

Emergency Babysitter

My Monstrous Family*

Gargoyles Drabbles*

Huntik: AUs, Drabbles, and Oneshots*

Steampunk Snippets*

Huntik AU*

Huntik Pets*

Huntik chats/headcanons*

Gargoyles Tumblr Chats*

Unsure

Abby

The Trust of a Vixen

Do Androids dream of Redheads?

My plan is as follows: Publish whatever was unpublished from before, work on the "To be Finished" list, then onto my other fan project.

This will not be like my old writing schedule. I'm going to do one story at a time until they're done. That being said if I'm in a rut, I'll take a step back and work on another story.

On the topic of my fan project, I don't want to say too much about it because it's still in its early stages. But for those on the Huntik discord, know that I truly do want this to happen.

Many of the works on the "To be Continued Later" list are one-shot collections or just meme stuff.  Which is why I feel comfortable leaving them for the time being. As for the "Unsure" list, I really would like to continue them, but I couldn't in good conscious put them on one of the other lists. I don't know where to take the plot(s). The ones with asterisks are lower priority. Finished stories will be crossed out. I'll edit this post as needed.

Zhalia's Farewells

The most heartbreaking scenes in the show are definitely Zhalia's goodbyes to Dante/ the team. And in each one of them she uses her Thoughtspecter magic to leave, have you ever thought why?

Goodbyes have two sides; the one who stays and the one who leaves. Both of them are painful (depends on the context of course), but just think about a little bit Zhalia's life. First she left her country (probably she was born in) to survive, because going to Vienna with Klaus is her only chance. She thought from now this place is her home but no, Klaus trained her as a spy and she had to leave Organization to infiltrate Foundation. New place new life but this is just temporary so she shouldn't get used to it, right? But she did. In Dante's team she was feeling better than any other homes she lived. But then she had to left them too because some bad things happened and she couldn't stay no more. But she found a way to forgive herself (not completely but enough to get back) and came back after all. Then, when she thinks finally she had a place that she doesn't have to hide and can be herself, the duty called her one more time. She had to left her only true home, her loved ones. Again.

Can you see now how hard are all of these farewells for her? She's always on the move, always have to go forward and never turn back. She's always the one who leaves and has to burn down the bridges she left behind. She had no place to come back and never will have, the woman knows and accepts that already. But when Dante comes into the picture, for first time in her entire life she wanted to be the one who stays. The woman wants to stay with the man which means to her a home. And that's why she uses Thoughtspecter in all of this time.

Because she just can't walk away from Dante.

She knows that one word from him will be enough to stop her. One single word. Although she wants to stay so badly, she had to go. Because of the betrayal or for Blood Spiral. Zhalia is aware of what she has to do and for that she must keep going. So she stands up and summons up her strength. But walking is a process and she isn't powerful enough to keep doing it. She doesn't want to make watch her leaving to Dante and couldn't stand to the idea of feeling his eyes on her back.

So she disappears just like that. It's the easiest way. She was there before a second and then gone. Like a dream, fades away. Because it's the only move that she can pull herself together enough to do.

Also she used it when her apartment exploded too because watching her home to burn is too painful.

Y’all... y’all, if you send me one of these (only one per ask please, but you can send multiple asks) and any Huntik ship that doesn’t involve minor/adult, then I will write headcanons, or if I’m really feeling it write a little drabble!

OTP FIRST DATE WRITING PROMPTS: SOFT EDITION

Building a pillow fort and filling it with blankets and snacks.

All-Disney karaoke. They both know all the words.

Going to a museum. One keeps calling the other their favorite piece of art. The other threatens to leave (but secretly loves it).

Visiting every ice cream shop in town and only getting free samples. 

Bowling in cheesy matching shirts and shoes. Both suck at bowling, but they don’t care.

Packing a picnic and eating it in the back of a van on the beach.

Going to the night market and buying each other street food and trinkets. A busker starts playing sappy love songs whenever they walk past.  

Visiting the carnival at night and having their first kiss at the top of the Ferris wheel.

Visiting an amusement park. One is terrified of the biggest roller coaster, but rides it anyway since the other wants to. They get such an adrenaline rush afterwards, they spontaneously kiss the other for the first time.

Ice skating, falling down together, and holding mittened hands. Drinking hot chocolate under trees laced with fairy lights. Kissing cheeks warm.

pride month!! // ft. boys i headcanon as gay

[ropuszysko]

you can disagree, BUT:

if by any chance the miracle of 3 season of huntik happens, it will be a fuckin disaster. when you think of it, we just created our own lore over these 12? years in our bubble of ~8 people and 52 frogs in a trench coat pretending to be the 9th (me).

can you imagine what happens if suddenly we dont know each others usernames by seeing them. and i specifically mean a big amount of people joining in a short time, bc ecosystems are fragile and at this point we clearly are one.

not to mention having new canon to digest. im sorry, but my cute little maldaptive daydreaming is what created canon for me, not iginio straffi 🙃

im sure it may have pros like someone finally heairng about this godforsaken show. but ughhh im not too sure

(its worth noting i am like 4 hours past bedtime)

[zhaliacain]

Sophie: Zhalia must be a spy! And she’s up to something! She’s probably planning to take down the foundation as we speak!

Meanwhile:

Klaus: so what have you learned about the foundation during your mission?

Zhalia: uh… the health insurance policy is really good… we have dental… and uh… they let you collect and keep your air miles?

Huntik headcanon: cooking

We know that Dante Vale is perfect. He is the most powerful Seeker in history, an incredibly strong man, independent and desperate. Hard as steel. Reliable as cold. Indestructible as a flame. And the kindest and most understanding person in the world.

But there's one thing he's really bad at. Just awful. He doesn't know how to cook at all. The best he can do is slice a salad or fry an eggs, but if it's a complicated dish, soup, or side dish - Dante can try, he can take a risk, but you definitely won't eat it. At best Dante is just going to burn the food - well, you know, because he's such a hot guy. Of course, he is good, very good at cooking meat or fish on an open fire, a campfire, when he is on a mission on nature. But he doesn't know how to do the same thing at home. And my headcanon that Dante is very careful about his diet, he rarely eats junk food, or rather, food that contains all sorts of harmful things like palm oil. As a result, Dante usually takes ready-made food, orders food (in restaurants or online delivery, although it should not be there yet during the series?).

And Zhalia, on the contrary, is a surprisingly good cook! The reason is this: when she was an orphan on the street, she literally had to get food. But she had seen delicious food in store windows and in restaurant windows, and she wanted to try it, because she was just a hungry little girl. She was always short of food, as we saw clearly twice in the series. And when she lived with Klaus, of course, she stopped starving. But Klaus is clearly not one of those people who likes variety in food and delicacies. He fed Zhalia, but with ordinary food. Yes, it is not bad, yes, it is also delicious. But as soon as Zhalia had the money and the ability to cook herself (even if right in the kitchen of the Organization), she tried to try to cook all the amazing things that she saw. She couldn't go to the restaurant right away, because she was still a little girl. And when she began to live separately, this did not change - she cooked for herself,and no longer held back. She likes to cook unusual dishes, although she does not really like soups, rather second courses. And another correction: actually, she doesn't like to cook so much, rather, she likes to eat what she cook herself. And she, unlike Dante, does not limit herself to proper nutrition, she just eats what she wants, and sports compensate for this. Yes, now she can go to cafes and restaurants, but she has already learned to cook once, and does it well, so she prefers to cook herself. Just because she can sit in her apartment, alone (okay, with the titans), turn on the movie and turn down the lights, and not in a noisy restaurant where there are too many people, and everyone is sitting together, and she has to sit alone.

And now Dante is really happy because someone can cook for him every day. It takes a lot of effort to get Zhalia to cook for you (especially if it's about waking up very early and cooking breakfast for your sweet hungry man until it's time for him to wake up and go to work), but Dante absolutely deserves it, and Zhalia doesn't mind cooking for him at all.

A mild but semi-depressing/heartfelt headcanon (Huntik)

I’ve had this in my head for a bit. 

In most of my headcanons, Zhalia has killed before, both for necessity/defense in the streets and under orders. She’s very honest with herself that she has blood on her hands, and that it’s not something she can accept has been forgiven. She knows that there are probably a few families in the Foundation that would love to know what happened to their kin when they disappeared on a mission, but she just isn’t quite ready to tell them that she’s the one that killed them. 

So Zhalia very much understands the mental/psychological toll that taking a life/realizing you’ve taken a life can have on a person, especially younger people. 

In the Seeker world it’s an unfortunate fact that occasionally a Raypulse or Boltflare meant to just wound punches clean through someone’s chest, or an Augerfrost triggers a heart condition, or that last blow before you kicked that guy into the lake knocked him unconscious and he never resurfaced. 

Both Dante and Zhalia know these things. But they don’t tell the teens. They don’t want them to think they’ve got blood on their hands.

Dante has never had a true confirmed kill. He tries very very hard to control his powers and Titans to prevent those kind of accidents from happening. But if someone harms his family, particularly Metz and Zhalia, he can be known to lose control and go off in a rather frightening rage that ranges from full on beast mode to horrifyingly quiet and calm despite being ready to rip whoever hurt his people to shreds with his barehands without powers.

But no matter what state she’s in, Zhalia. Always. Kills them. First. She does the same when it looks like the teens are about to lose it, or if it looks like they’ve accidently cast a power that will main or murder. 

It’s not revenge. It’s not hatred. She takes the heat for the incident from the Huntik Council every time without complaint with a promise that if Dante seems to be ready to kill then she’d do it before him. And despite the Council hating her words and actions, they never punish her beyond sitting out a few missions.

Why such a slap on the wrist for such a terrible crime?

Because after the first incident, while her sentence was still being decided, Metz met with Zhalia privately and asked her if she had another reason for what she did. 

“As long as I can help it, I won’t let Dante or those damn kids get blood on their hands. It rots you from the inside out and I can tell you for a fact that it never goes away. It would destroy them, and they’ve been through enough already, Metz. If keeping them clean means carrying a few more bodies with me then I will never hesitate to do that again.”

[huntikjunktik]

Dante and Zhalia Going to the night market and buying each other street food and trinkets. A busker starts playing sappy love songs whenever they walk past.

(Don’t know exactly what a night market is, gonna assume it’s an outdoor market that happens at night, like the farmer’s market with food trucks and stuff)

Zhalia initially claims she doesn’t want anything, when they plan the trip. Nothing. But Dante sees the way she eyes a few cute little (as Zhalia would call them “girly”) necklaces and gets one of them for her, despite her protests.

It quickly devolves into a contest of who can read the other’s body language and figure out what they want faster. They don’t get too many things for one another, they’re both still practical after all, but they get at least two items for each other each.

Then they turn their attention to food. Zhalia, surprisingly, has fairly set tastes in food and only gets one or two small things she knows she will enjoy eating. Dante is more adventurous, and will get many types of food to try. He will share, even though Zhalia said, before he purchased his own food, she was happy with what she had. She’s curious about the new foods, if only a little.

They’re both already being, what they feel, is appropriately sappy. They just enjoy the music and the evening.
