#the old guard headcanon

[mprosperossprite]

Small, extremely niche new headcanon, upon a The Old Guard rewatch:

The night of the Goussainville attack, Joe and Booker turn on a football match. It is the middle of the goddamn night, meaning no European clubs would be playing live. Could be a replay, but you know what's better?

They're watching MLS.

The TV shows red kits vs. blue kits. Gotta be a West Coast US game for the time zones.

Looking at MLS Kits from the 2018 and 2019 seasons, I've decided it's an LA Galaxy (blue) vs. New York Red Bulls (red) match.

Does Booker have feelings about David Beckham ending his career in MLS? Does Joe despise the way Red Bull has franchised football clubs in Germany and the US? Yes and yes.

[absolutedoorknob]

For reasons I cannot explain, I present TOG as high school sports teams.

Joe: baseball team. Take one look at that backwards cap and try and tell me he isn’t a baseball player.

Andy: all of them, but specifically field hockey. Was team captain for two years.

Quynh: ice hockey. Had a “rivalry” with Andy but really it was just so Nicky could win a bet saying that they’d kiss in the middle of spring term.

Nile: my girl is a rugby player!!! Or soccer/football (international). Tell me u can’t see her tearing up the field with her cleats on!! Also to survive girls rugby you have to be tough as a US marine, so…

Booker: on the soccer/football (international) team but only because his mom is making him. Definitely gets ‘ankle injuries’ early into every game. Keeps a mickey of liquor in his glovebox.

Nicky: plays basketball bc he gives off Tall vibes. Like idk if yes actually talk but he is definitely high school basketball tall.

Thinking about the sniper duo

[1-800-crscnt]

i like to think that the Coruscant Guard, Jedi Temple Guards, and Senate Guard don't all necessarily hate each other, but just argue a good bit and are generally passive aggressive towards each other while also collaborating to get jobs done. The CG and SG tend to work together just fine and the most; neither really work with the TG that often and consider them "strange but efficient". Also, by coincidence, the Commanders and Lieutenants of the CG interact with the SG more once they become the Red Guard, but "got along" better with the Blue Guard, and the TG interacts with them even less (so basically never) after this change. Smaller hc, but the CG (mostly the younger ones) started absorbing a handful of slang and speech patterns from the more relaxed SG members before the change.

[materassassino]

I think my silliest Mildly Autistic Nicky headcanon is that yes, he adores spices and seasonings and authentic flavours, but very occasionally (like once every six months) he will want a Plain Food day where he eats nothing but pastina in brodo and bread and butter and other boring things and everyone goes along with it. Joe is happy because Nicky is happy, Andy and Booker will eat anything if it sits still long enough. Nile was surprised but anything Nicky cooks is nourishing even if it's not mind-blowing.

The menu resumes as normal the next day.

(Actually I don't know if this is silly or not. I just like the idea. I would also imagine that they've eaten their fair share of fucking atrocious meals over the centuries, stuff that not even Nicky's skill could save, so anything is better than ship's hard tack, tripe or rotten rice.)

[getvalentined]

I love when folks ask me Fandom Old questions and I get to be like "Yeah, uh, that's from my old online RP group, no it's not canon at all, yes we just made it up, no we did not claim it was canon but the mid to late aughts were a strange time."

It's honestly a shock to realize how often this has happened. I mentioned earlier that Reno's fanon surname came from this same group, but that's not even the half of it. I once made a bunch of screenshot manips based on the most ridiculous ships anyone could think of—someone slapped a random line of text onto one of them and to this day it's used as a "cringe FF7 fandom" meme. I saw it on the twits a bit back and almost fell out of my goddamn chair.

If you've ever heard Scarlet referred to with the surname "West," read about Tseng fighting with metal fans, seen Elena's older sister being called Anna instead of Emma, come across Vincent portrayed as having a PhD in spite of being a Turk, or caught references somewhere to Grimoire experimenting on Vincent as a child, that started with this group. That was us.

One of the funniest examples of this, for me specifically, is that we don't actually know which arm Veld is missing? The fandom generally goes with his left because that's how I drew him in the first picture of the guy ever posted on devart way back in 2005, but it may very well be his right. I've seen people offer "proof" that it's his right based on a scene in the opening cutscene, but you can't tell there either, and with BC's graphics there's literally no way to tell on his sprite.

Hell, this year we found out everyone's assumed timeline of the Kalm fire is wrong, and that's our fault too because we made some assumptions about Felicia's age for an LJ RP that were entirely wrong. She's around Zack's age, not Sephiroth's! She's old enough to run with a terrorist group in BC, but she was a child when Kalm burned, and that happened in 1997—we know this because NPCs in Rebirth literally refer to the fire in Kalm having happened "just ten years ago." Veld has only had his prosthetic for three years when BC starts. (This also implies that, contrary to popular belief, Veld may actually be younger than Vincent. Vincent may have been the senior partner, and that's why he was sent to Nibelheim alone while Veld was left at headquarters.)

We were really wrong on this! But we were working with what we had. There's no canon evidence for the vast majority of these things (the most notable exclusion here is Vincent being educated) but we weren't claiming there was. We were filling gaps, and canon was so sparse that we had a lot of gaps to fill. So if it turns out that Veld lost his right arm, then I'll just have to start drawing him that way—because losing his left was never canon.

Tragically, there's nothing any of us can do to make people stop assuming these things are canon at this point; there aren't a lot of us still in the fandom, and it's not like any of us have those old chatlogs anymore. People from this RP group have DIED since those days. It's been over 20 years since most of us met, and around 15 since most of us were in a public fannish space together.

"Prove it," people say, and I literally can't. Do you know how many computers I've been through since then? 75% of the platforms we used no longer exist. This all started on a BBCode forum! There is no proof!

But...there's no evidence any of these things are canon, either, so maybe think about that? The Kalm fire, Tseng's weapon of choice, Veld's arm, character surnames—none of these are retcons because there was no lore there to retcon. We made it up for our specific purposes, and it escaped containment in an era when there was really no way to do online contact tracing.

It's just one of the weirdest feelings in the world to see younger folk arguing about A or B point in canon, about X or Y retcon—referencing something my friends and I thought up at like 10 o'clock at night on a now-defunct IM client in August of 2005, because we needed something to refer back to for a specific scene in an RP and the source material had nothing to offer.

Absolutely fucking bonkers.

I just want everyone to know unless explicitly stated otherwise Fox will always in my heart be a red head, in any and every fic I read of Him!!!

And in every fic I write if not stated or he isn’t mentioned, know somewhere out in the big wide Star Wars universe, probably drinking out of a permanently stained ‘worlds best dad’ mug written over in pink glitter sharpie to say commander. Fox will be living his worst life with his twizzler ass hair!

[immortalmuses]

ㅤㅤㅤ"…ah. I see my heart is turning himself into a prune."

ㅤㅤㅤNicky's mouth twitched at the corner, a small thing, but he otherwise didn't move. The immortal reclined in a massive sunken tub, his eyes closed and head tipped back against the rockface it was built into. He and Joe were in South Africa for the moment, laying low in a cottage somewhere outside Touws River, and Nicolò had decided there was no better opportunity to indulge…

ㅤㅤㅤ"Will you love me even if I am all wrinkly?" He murmured, slow and quiet in the peace of the bathroom. The water was hot. Hot enough that sweat gathered in the hair at his temples, every muscle in the Genoan's shoulders unraveled like loose yarn, leaving him to feel indolent and sensual and needy. He thought, passingly, that he'd quite like Yusuf to join him. But as the silence stretched between them, Nicky opened his eyes, making a querying noise.

ㅤㅤㅤJoe was there (of course, always), leant against the edge of the sink. His expression was open and stricken in a way that spoke to Nicolò without words, that his beloved's emotions had become too immense for his body. The other immortal inhaled sharply, eyes gone liquid-soft, "…If… when… your beautiful body becomes marked by the proof of our many years together, habibi…" He said, beautiful and hoarse, "…then I will love every wrinkle, every line scrawled across your blessed skin."

ㅤㅤㅤAnd, oh. Yes. Okay. For a moment Nicky's throat closed, taken by the bittersweet image Joe painted with his words. Wordlessly, he lifted his arms from the water and reached towards his love, beckoning.

ㅤㅤㅤAnd Yusuf came into his arms, as he always does. As he always will.

[tired-lamb]

the morning report has now led me to believe zazu genuinely loves kids. He used to babysit kion and bunga and sometimes fuli and I think cause hes a bird he probably knew ono as a baby too! beshte was the son of the hippo leader so I like to think he’d go along with his dad for important meetings and zazu would be entrusted to take care of him while simba and beshte’s dad talked. just imagine how proud zazu feels when he finds out these kids are now the pridelands’ protectors. just imagine zazu watching the lion guard go into battle and wonder when did these kids grow up. zazu looking at the lion guard and thinking he would never have guessed that the rambunctious bunch of kids he used to take care of would one day protect the circle of life. zazu thinking he would do anything for these kids. zazu knowing that the pridelands is most definitely in good hands if beshte, ono, bunga, fuli, and kion are the ones protecting it.

Rating headcanons on the Outlanders made by a character hc generator pt 2

Okay hear me out….if Brutus and Nero from The Rescuers can play the organ, WHY CAN’T KIBURI PLAY THE PIANO????/hj

No but honestly, I can see Kiburi playing the piano as a secret talent of his in an au. Is he Beethoven? No. Does he do it often? Nah. But can he? Yeah, why not? 6/10

Literally hc the same thing cuz he’s that stupid. He’ll flirt with someone but be completely oblivious if that same animal flirts back. 10/10

Personally I hc him to have abandonment issues. Baby boy has lost a lot of friends and his mom at a young age so he’s always with someone. Even if he didn’t appear in “Beshte and the Beast”, I like to think he stuck with Neema. Agree 100% 10/10

I’M CACKLING HE PROBABLY WOULD JDHFHRGRG

I can see him “borrowing” his roomates’ (aka his float’s) clothes and just…never giving them back. Maybe he doesn’t realize, maybe he only does it out of spite, any way, I can see it. 7/10

AHAHAHAHAHAHA EMO VULTURE

4/10 just cuz it’s funny

Ndhdhdhdhddgdh?????

Although it’s funny to think about, I can’t really see him in any au having a diary, let alone a glittery pen. 2/10

And as a treat, I did it with Makuu, Hodari, and Pua

YOU KNOW WHAT? HE PROBABLY HAS JDHFHFGDG. Bro likes to pretend they don’t exist. If someone were to find his yearbook photos, he’d adamantly deny that kid was him. Who is that? That’s not him. He was never that scrawny. Now put that away and get back to training!

8/10

Hodari being the type to make oc’s is really interesting to me. I’m gonna go ahead and give it a 5/10 cuz it could go both ways. He could make an oc but at the same time, maybe oc’s wouldn’t he his thing. But if he did, he’s BOUND to have at least one

Yes you do, old man. Yes, you do/aff

10/10

[druckkugelschreiber]

Consider all the old immortals are actually lactose intolerant (because being able to process milk is actually a mutation) and immortality doesn't fix it.

Nile and Book are fine tho and they will brag about it

[nnicky]

I lowkey hope Joe and Nicky's introduction in TOG 2 is chaotic. Like, Nile and Andy are meeting with an important associate of Copley's and they burst in fresh from a mission/stakeout. Neither of them have slept in three days, their eyes are bloodshot, they definitely need a shower, and they are so overtired to the point of being delirious. They can barely stand up. When Andy introduces them and she's poised as ever, Nicky definitely checks out the guy and he's like "oooh oooh oooh". Andy dismisses them right after that obviously.

⠀ ⠀When Magnus watched his daughter burn, his powers of electromagnetism emerged, creating an EMP across lands of the Soviet Union and creating a lightning storm that haunted the landscape for days. The 𝙾𝚕𝚍 𝙶𝚞𝚊𝚛𝚍 of Hydra was quick to act. They dragged Magnus' broken, grieving form from his daughter’s grave.

⠀ ⠀His powers were limited, wringing his body to its physical limits and Hydra knew how to bend them to their use, wether it fried his brain or not. Instead of hunting N*zis, he destroys submarines, research and space operations in the name of Hydra's chaos and control. Many missiles and weapons systems are controlled through him.

⠀ ⠀𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍 𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃 is known for Fortress Breach Operations, High-Risk Extractions and Assassinations and Destruction with Urban Terror Tactics (destabilize entire cities by dismantling crucial infrastructure: disabling power grids, disassembling transport networks, or even bringing down towering skyscrapers) and is an operative across Germany and the Soviet Union.

⠀ ⠀A remnant of his past life buried under years of bloody deeds -- in the corridors of his mind, flickers of memory bleed through, a daughter’s laughter, a grave, a world that once was his own.

The love he once lost—whose death had birthed the first true fury of 𝙼𝙰𝙶𝙽𝙴𝚃𝙾 —was never taken from him. In this altered course, the X-Men rose years later, their founding delayed and shaped by a world without the shadow of 𝙼𝙰𝙶𝙽𝙴𝚃𝙾's rage.

Andromache is a Greek name, and Andy predated the Scythians by thousands of years. Also "Andromache" means "fighter of men" and the Scythians were famous for their mounted warriors.

So I imagine Lykon dying and reviving and dreaming of these ferocious women, for decades, and of course he needs to call them something even if it's just in his own head, so one of them becomes "Andromache the Scythian" because have you seen her? And then they all finally meet and have a good laugh about it and he and Quynh start calling her Andromache as a joke, and then it becomes a habit, and you know she really kind of likes it, and then Lykon dies, which wasn't supposed to be possible, and she stays Andromache the Scythian because that means he's still part of the team, even the new ones who never met him will carry him with them.

(Now, you might very well ask, why does Lykon name her in Greek? I am working on a headcanon for that as well, one that is at least vaguely historically plausible, because some of us actually know how to use Wikipedia, Greg.)

(Quynh is the only other person in the world who knows Andy's original name. When Andy realizes she's mortal again, she thinks about how it'll be after she dies, no one remembering who she was so long ago, just Quynh screaming her name at the bottom of the ocean with no one to hear.)
