#ppau headcanons

ppau headcanons except it's my universe so i don't think they qualify as headcanons (part 1??)

half of these are thanks to @aryasage as usual :3

Meiko and EDG have a ridiculous amount of fun figuring out his shape-shifting abilities, even if it does come with a few near-death experiences. He turns into a fly exactly ONCE without telling anyone it's him, and Jiejie almost murders him with an electric flyswatter. They silently agree to never talk about the incident again, and from then on, when Meiko turns into bugs, he makes it obvious that it's, you know, him.

Now they have trust issues because that potted plant in the bathroom probably isn't him but what if it IS? Is that a regular spider or is it Meiko fucking with them? The world may never know.

Perkz has two closets, one for his normal clothes and one for his Xayah clothes, since it's kind of hard to wear normal shirts when he has two giant wings attached to his back. The whole inconvenience of having wings is part of the reason why he goes bothers getting rid of them before becoming a mid laner again (although after the events of "brute force and style combine"... he's probably going to have to do that again.) Mikyx gave him a few shirts to start him off, and then taught him how to make his own.

Xayah and Rakan Summoners have a lot of struggles with clothing and also sitting in cars or laying on their backs. They can fly, though, so cars are kind of obsolete anyway. It's really depressing for them to see a shirt that they really like only to remember Oh Fuck I Have Wings. CoreJJ learns to stop saying that out loud when he sees a nice jacket on a mannequin, mentions how much he wishes it had wing holes, and barely has the time to keep Tactical from turning it into an impromptu DIY project.

Gumayusi is really, really fucking good with a bow/crossbow. The bow was his first weapon, but he switched to guns after seeing Doublelift's customized one. He learns to master the crossbow when he realizes that both of Keria's past ADCs, Teddy and Deft, used it as their weapon of choice, and isn't about to be third place in anything.

Speaking of Teddy and Gumayusi, sometime after the events of "someday both of us are leaving here", Gumayusi manages to beat out Teddy for the high score in the T1 shooting simulator. With Keria cheering him on from behind the training room door, of course.

We can call it Davey Leggy or Leggy Hooey, I’m fine as long as there’s leggy in it.

Also someone beat me to it as far as posting it but y’know.

I’m in love with the headcanon in which instead of a potato, Daniel stuffs DaVID into a smaller version of himself (Davey). However, he is also given malfunctioning legs. Instead of being annoyed by it, he just embraces it.

So here’s some LEGGY HOOEY.

Also the splits are hard.

I was just gonna submit it but sadly I couldn’t because I had two pictures instead of one.

PPAU and the fabulous leggy go to @portalportalau!

ppau headcanons except it’s my au #2 ft. Meiko

As usual thank you to @aryasage for listening to my ramblings and adding yours. 1 braincell is better than none.

Meiko finds out he can shape-shift by accident, just a little after the events of “one day you’ll wish you hadn’t”. He’s brushing his teeth or something, spacing out, worrying about this and that, when he just casually imagined what he would look like with a different haircut and when he looks back in the mirror he suddenly has that haircut.

He screams. Loud. It takes him 30 minutes to change back and figure out what’s going on and 2 hours to convince Scout that he was just imagining the scream of pure terror that just came from the bathroom.

“Eh you know what, I haven’t slept in 3 days. I was probably imagining things.”

“…what did you do to make Jiejie mad this time”

Viper is the first to find out about this because Meiko figures out that he somehow heals better as a cat. I have been informed by AryaSage that there is a scientific basis for this. The more you know…

Shape-shifting is really hard to master because unlike people like Canyon, Meiko has way more alternate forms and they’re not a true part of him like Canyon’s lion form is. Meiko spends a lot of time practicing (with the help of his teammates).

Meiko transforms into Jiejie and immediately tries to fool his team into thinking he really IS Jiejie, but to his surprise, no one believes him for a second.

“What gave it away?”

“Bro you forgot the SCAR”

Jiejie, from the corner: also my nose isn’t that big wtf Meiko

Meiko absolutely uses his powers to fuck with his teammates 24/7 whether by turning into them or by turning into animals

Flandre is forced to call an emergency Team Meeting to get Meiko to chill out because Jiejie wakes up to a tarantula on his face and almost has a heart attack. (Thus almost giving Scout a heart attack.) Everyone tries their Absolute Best to keep a straight face on the entire time.

EDG end up with a new inside joke in which any of them (including Meiko himself once he hears about it) point to any remotely living thing and go "MEIKO??"

There are a lot of sleep-deprived discussions.

Jiejie: So if Meiko eats beef and then turns into a cow, is he a cannibal? Scout: Well he's not really a cow in his heart right? Jiejie: Since when has that mattered? Would a furry eating a human not be cannibalism then? Viper: Holy shit it is 7am would you two shut up I'm trying to sleep Scout: well at least you CAN sleep Jiejie: Viper: Scout: Flandre: Meiko: Okay wait but Jiejie has a point—

They try to keep Meiko's abilities on the down low until Worlds, at which point he goes nuts on their opponents for the Element of Surprise.

Combined with Flandre's smoke and Jiejie's mist, they can easily separate team members, at which point Meiko pretends to be an opponent's injured teammate. As soon as they get close, he stabs them. As you do.

Even if he can't imitate an opponent perfectly, seeing a scuffed version of yourself on the other side of the battlefield usually stunlocks you for a second or two.

Very few people figure out that Meiko is a shape-shifter without fighting him a lot, but some people do figure it out.

At Perkz's wedding, Meiko crawls under a table, and a second later, a cat comes out and jumps onto Viper. Team Liquid are understandably confused by this development.

Meiko puts on a one-man play at some point just for his teammates. They all almost die laughing before the end of the first act.

Once he gets better at it, he starts shifting almost on instinct, which often makes it hard for him to hide what he's thinking about.

"Meiko stop worrying about Viper he'll be fine in Korea"

"who said I was worrying about Viper???"

"you are LITERALLY Viper right now don't even try me"

"oh fuck"

[aryasage]

meiko can also turn into other people. this is half the reason flandre calls him a "copycat" in tncfl. (the other is, well. cat. obviously.) this leads to many Shenanigans (and also. Angst. but we'll get into that Later) with him mimicking his own teammates. it's also very handy on the battlefield even if he's still working on his vocal impressions. (look magical signatures are Hard to fake.)
