#theories and headcanons

[opbackgrounds]

Something that's always been interesting to me is that when we see Marigold as a slave she's the same sort of traditional beauty as Hancock, and then afterword per an SBS trains up like a sumo wrestler to get her present day physique

Within the context of Amazon Lily she's more beautiful in the present day after getting stronger, and I do interpret it as a deliberate choice to get that strength in a way that would generally be seen as less beautiful by the men of the outside world

My headcanons

Miss Peregrine is very afraid of Grimbears (due to what happened in LOS)

Murnau was a cannibal

Caul knew that Bentham's statues were humans, but he didn't mess with them because he thought they were actually stuffed dead people.

Bentham's Grimbear was killed from the battle of LOS. (I had a theory that he survived and became a hollow unlike anything he's ever seen, but it's just a theory)

Abe must have seen Golan thousands of times and never identified him as a wight.

Emma, Millard, Fiona and Hugh must blame themselves for what happened to Charlotte.

Claire is afraid of Enoch's humunculi and wants them far away from her dolls and stuffed animals.

Olive sleeps on the bottom bunk bed, but instead of her mattress being on top of the bottom bunk, it is stuck under the top bunk, so that she doesn't need to be tied to her bed and can sleep more comfortably (I'll draw this later)

Caul was never punished for attacking Miss P when he was a child, which is why she is so resentful and says he was too spoiled, after all he did not bear the consequences of his actions

Ymbrynes feel pain when transforming into birds, all their bones change at once and their entire body is forced to shrink, probably the faster the transformation the less pain.

Ymbrynes feel the peculiarities of others, they cannot identify which one it is, but they feel that a Child is peculiar. So a ymbryne identified baby Jacob's peculiarity , so the peregrine identified Abe's Peculiarity , and so the miss P always knows when Millard is present.

Yall are FUELING my Shima headcanons,,, I have been waiting for this since 2018 I swear

So we knew of Yamantaka since the Illuminati arc but haven’t really gotten any information since then about him. We know he’s based off the real legend of Yamantaka, the destroyer of death. How the shima “clan” got hold of a powerful familiar like him is unknown but we do know he can be passed from vessel to vessel within the clan itself. Like from takezou to renzou when takezou died during the blue night. We know that he gives shima strength and protects him when he wants to. We know that black flames are only second to blue flames and that black flames can only harm the individuals souls not their physical body and that the intensity can be changed from killing someone to just knocking them out. We know his main attack is the flame tipped spear and finally we know Yamantaka has a penchant for fighting while shima is the opposite.

In this recent chapter we got like 3 new attacks and a new “form” ish thing which could be argued was a fun take on his phobia of bugs which knocks him unconscious and turns him into a badass bit. Aka it could not mean anything. But it wouldn’t be a tumblr post if we didn’t fantasize for a minute.

I think someone else said it too where shimas possession seemed weird and that he could’ve been possessed by a relative rather than Yamantaka. Now I don’t know shit about yamantaka or anything but as the destroyer of death I have to wonder what happens to his vessels souls when Yamantaka takes over their bodies. Would their souls be burned to a crisp from the flames same as his offensive attack or would those souls be captured as Yamantakas source of growing power. If we went down the relative path would it be delusional to argue that each soul Yamantaka has inhabited the body of, he’s also kept? Like how izumo’s familiar foxes can summon small and dozens of versions of little helpers in the Kyoto arc. Would Yamantaka be able to summon the souls of previous vessels to use as “helpers?” In this case was renzou really possessed by say takezou since he was the last to have Yamantaka before renzou took over? Like a switch out moment? Of course we have no evidence of this but it’s a fun theory! It’d be really cool to see all the previous vessels being summoned by renzou to help in the battle and as dead souls I can’t imagine any of them are happy.

Adding onto the possession theory, yamantaka is technically heralded as a familiar but renzou doesn’t summon him by blood or paper, literally just recites his summon script and he appears, unlike izumo or shiemi’s familiars who disappear or “can die.” Now obviously I can’t say every familiar is the same because they’re not but it’s an interesting difference. I assume Yamantaka would have a death verse like most other demons and if so wouldn’t it be a fun twist if say it’s well known to the shima clan or even just the vessels know it? From my own headcanon takezou didn’t die from the fall or the burn of the blue flame but instead let himself die by reciting the verse so he wouldn’t have to deal with Yamantaka anymore and passed it on instead to renzou.

I’m gonna stop rambling now but yeah what’d you think? (Should I release the rest of my shima head canons into the wild?)

Sander Sides s2 Finale Theories

Hi,

A few days ago, I suddenly remembered Sander Sides exists and that I like it. I've been AWOL for a year or two, drifting in and out of the fandom BUT now, I have come back in full force. I am present, once again.

So, obviously, I have been wanting to see what other fans think of the series. Specifically, I want to find anyone theorizing on what will happen during the season 2 finale. Because, listen, I've been theorizing on what will happen since "Why Do We Get Out of Bed in the Morning," and that was when I was in middle school. So, obviously, my own theories have changed drastically and I want to know how others have as well.

So, please, if you have a theory, tell me all about it on this post (or any other way if you want)! I am eager to hear ANYTHING. I don't care if you do or don't have evidence, I want to know what you think will happen. You can even tell me what you think will occur to one specific character (I do/did it all the time to Roman, so I understand).

Please, let me know!

HES RECREATING HIS CHILDHOOD TOWN WITH THE PEOPLE HE ONCE KNEW BUT THEY CAN NEVER BE BROUGHT BACK SO THE CLOSEST EQUIVALENT ARE ARMOUR STANDS ATTEMPTING TO RECREATE THEM BUT THEYLL NEVER BE THE SAME SO HE CREATED MINDED TO ATTEMPT TO BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE BUT ITS HAVING ADVERSE AFFECTS ON HIS OWN HEALTH

[kara-knuckles]

Considering his distaste for killing Sarkaz, I like to think that the main reason Hoederer preferred to prey on Laterano caravans wasn't out of any animosity towards Sankta, but rather because he was guaranteed not to fight other Sarkaz. Ursus, Leithanien, whatever, could hire other Sarkaz mercenaries to protect them, but Sankta would never do that.

Relatedly, Lateran is probably one of the languages Hoederer can understand at least passably well. Lateran teachings are widespread, so it shouldn't be too hard to find Lateran-Common dictionaries and such, and, since his main targets were Lateran caravans, he probably got a bunch of its books over the years.

I also headcanon that he and Mostima are at least on friendly basis. Both of them are chill towards other races, both have non-Teekaz companions with similar temperaments who follow them around and have some issues about not being a part of Sarkaz/Sankta collective consciousnesses, both have jobs that require to travel a lot, both are not exactly welcomed home, and both have a connection to the same Feranmut. They also have a complimentary red/blue scheme and people seriously undervalue them in gameplay, but this is beside the point.

I actually started headcanoning them as something akin to friends before Ep 13 gave Hoederer the Feranmut connection. My tangent was that, considering his background, Hoederer probably isn't very versed in various foods, and Mostima is known as something of a foodie. So I thought about how they could bond over snacks Mostima would bring for him to try, and then I just noticed that they are surprisingly similar and it would be neat for them to interact.

I'm thinking about that one hella fun fact we got about our dear zestial over here...

Yeah the one that says zestial is the oldest overlord...

We know in the pilot we learned Alastor finished the previous overlords that have been ruling for centuries almost overnight..

Which makes me wonder how is zestial STILL an overlord?

There are two possibilities in my view:

• he is a surviving overlord, means he was an overlord before and after Alastor came and stayed that way, how so:

1- either he stayed low and hidden untill Alastor got bored .

2- or he was stronger than Alastor so he stayed.

3- he took the chance and became Alastor's friend so he could avoid his demise.

4- Alastor simply liked him enough to let him be or he got bored before he met zestial.

• he is a new overlord, means he climbed his way to the top after Alastor got rid of the previous overlords , how so:

1- Alastor got bored which made an opportunity for new overlords to rise

These are my theories of how he is an overlord...

I don't know which one is ..well ...the most likely to be true .

What do you think?

Thoughts and Theories (Spoilers)

I got inspired by some of the theories I've seen floating around Tumblr and decided to throw some of my ideas with the little info we have rn.

First off, the "Voice" (the entity that's possessing MC and helping them and their party.)

In summary, we know next nothing about who they are other than the fact they know a lot about the afterlife realm and potentially a lot about the Old Gods. Based on this alone, I'd say they are an entity that is god-tier, maybe somewhere around the Old God's level.

During Chapter 2, they said "knowing my name would be more dangerous to you than ignorance," but the wording is strange. Dangerous to us how? My first impression was that they wanted to keep their involvement a secret from Nifara, but the wording is just too weird for it to just be that. Is their name a Cognito hazard or something?

Current Theories (Crack and Serious)

Nifara and the old gods aren't the biggest power to worry about in the afterlife realms: Based on what I understand about the old gods, they are the kind that were willing to annihilate the dwarves and separate the realms to stay in power just to have it their way and remain in power. I really doubt that someone like them would allow the existence of other afterlife's (and potentially gods) if it were up to them. Who knows? Maybe they did try but realized it would be a Punic victory at best, impossible at worst if they tried.

We will be making allies within other afterlife realms: I am under the impression the other gods/entities involved in the other afterlife's are not pleased the old gods interference and are willing to interfere with them regardless of the debatable power imbalance. Considering the story seems to be going into a "we are traveling through the afterlife's" route, I think we would be making allies in these realms going forward.

MC is also a construct: I played around with an idea in another tumblr post where MC was also a construct of sorts similar to Valax. Sure, it could be because MC is the leader and the party are more likely to listen if it came to them, but I get the vibes to that old theory when the Voice is able to puppet MC's voice.

The "Voice" is somehow connected to MC's family: This is more crack-theory-ish on my end, mostly because I want to know more about MC's family other than what we currently have. Also, it could be a potential motivating factor as to why the Voice is risking defying Nifara?

[the-royal-hyrule-library]

Lately, I’ve been thinking…

…about Sidon, Yunobo, Teba, and Riju after “Age of Calamity”.

The four of them helped save Hyrule. Sidon got the chance to reunite with his beloved sister, while the other three got to meet the heroes they had known only from legends.

But then they returned home, to a Hyrule that hadn’t been saved; where the four Champions, along with countless innocent people, died brutal deaths.

Yunobo, Teba, and Riju had known this before; having grown up hearing stories about the Calamity, and seeing ruins scattered everywhere. But now all those stories and statistics have actual people attached to them. Now they can remember the thriving towns and bustling outposts all those ruins used to be.

Sidon, meanwhile, already remembered the Calamity; and had spent nearly his entire life mourning those who were lost. Reuniting with Mipha helped heal some of his grief, but parting from her again reopened old wounds.

Then there’s the Yiga Clan. Sidon, Yunobo, Teba, and Riju got to see Master Kohga as a brave, caring, beloved leader; and the other Yiga as actual people, instead of faceless goons. But now the Yiga are their enemies again, all attempts at peace and healing soundly rejected.

The worst part is, the four can’t talk to anybody about what they went through. The only people who would believe them, and who would understand, are the last people they want to confide in. Link, Zelda, Impa, Purah, and Robbie already feel intense grief and guilt over the events one hundred years prior; and no one wants to make it worse.

Ultimately, the time-traveling Champions only have each other to talk to. But the fact that each lives in a different corner of Hyrule, combined with their respective responsibilities, means that they aren’t able to see each other very often. And on the rare occasions when all four are together, they inevitably have more pressing matters to discuss than their adventure in the past.

I have Thoughts about Guardians 3, and Rocket's arc.

Spoilers of course if anybody watching me here still cares.

--------

A name isn't just a callsign, especially if it's one you chose. A name is part of how you see yourself.

Rocket chose his first name as an act of *hope*, which was then absolutely pulverized. And in that pulverization, he lost every meaningful root he had, and every social link to anyone who could truly understand what he had been through.

Rocket refuses to be a Raccoon.

I don't mean that he just objects to being *called* one. I mean that he feels he *has no common species* at the beginning of the film. Even if he *was* a Raccoon-based prototype, which he doesn't know or believe for certain, he was deeply, fundamentally Changed. When he was modified, uplifted, and *tortured* "for his own good," he became something different than everyone else cowering in his cage. His species and his family was his experimental Batch now. And he is the only survivor.

He had believed that meant they were going to be a part of something beautiful and good and better than himself, and he was willing to serve that goal right up until he learned first that he was worthless to his maker's ideal of that beauty, and then that his family was going to be deleted like a typo out of the grand plan.

His whole life, right up until his near-death vision, he feared that all he was was somebody else's fuckup, wearing the name of a lost dream.

And then that changed.

He began to have hope. Then he made a choice of his own that he couldn't hide from his past anymore: whatever happened, he was going to stand or fall on his own power, and have a shot at making a difference along the way. And then...

He chose to be a Raccoon. To my mind he didn't just discover the name applied, he applied it himself; his kinship was with everything he wanted to save, all the potential experiments, not with his prototype path.

And that is also why it bothered me *much less* than it usually does when they mowed through minions and spared the final boss. Because they made it *Rocket*'s choice, and he chose in confronting his abusive father and disavowed God that *he would be Named by his choice to protect when possible, not just by his rebellion against the pattern set for him.* He was neither an heir of the Father's plan, nor a violent aberration who only existed to fuck it up.

He is Rocket Raccoon, and he's a Guardian of the Galaxy.

This is extraordinarily cruel, and likely something they picked up from the Celestial Dragons

[ruindunburnit]

Honestly one of the biggest lessons from Death Note that is increasingly relevant today but that we don't acknowledge enough, is that one of the biggest mistakes you can make is assuming you are "far too intelligent" to fall for violent, reactionary ideologies and movements. The idea that "only stupid people" fall for them rings more and more false when you realise just how much easier you can rationalise violence to yourself and aid in your own radicalisation when you're already well practised at thinking your way through any problem. Thinking you're too smart to fall for it sets the clock on when--not if--you will.

Do you have any new headcanons? I found the ones in your pin very interesting!

Firstly: forgive me for the delay in responding, I started collecting my new headcanons and ended up forgetting to come back here to show them.

Anyway, my new headcanons:

1. Olive's tiara/crown is also made from a heavy material to help her stay on the ground and not fly away. It's extra weight to give her more comfort on the ground.

2. The council of ymbrynes never learned that Bentham accidentally created the hollowgasts. If they had known, Bentham would probably have been arrested. Even if he didn't create the hollows on purpose, he definitely planned a small genocide. This is probably considered a crime by the council.

3. Peculiar souls are not acidic, ambrosia was only acidic because the Wights wanted it, they made it that way. An addictive and corrosive liquid. It was their way of harming their peculiar "allies".

4. Caul always knew that Miss Peregrine was the successor of one of the 12 great ymbrynes who sealed Abaton and this probably made him hate her even more.

5. Nothing bad happened with the old Enoch loop, he probably just didn't suit the place and asked to change loops and ended up in Cairnholm,As grumpy as Enoch is, he likes living there, if he didn't like it he would have asked to change loops at the first opportunity.

6. Every time Abe visited Emma after the war he always went with the intention of ending everything with her, but personally he couldn't, he never had the courage to break her heart personally. Ending everything by letter was easier for him and more painful for her.

7. Claire is very young, she was probably found by Miss Peregrine when she was still very little and Ymbryne adopted her, that's why Claire is so attached to Miss P, she's the closest thing Claire has ever known to a mother.

8.Just like Olive and Noor, Claire is also a peculiar "Infant" she was born with a second mouth on the back of her head and her story must be quite sad.

9. When Victor's body was brought to the island, Enoch was the one who sewed up the entire body, he was the only one who had the courage to do this for his friend.

10. Millard has never feared being forgotten by Miss Peregrine, and probably enjoys being in her presence because she never fails to notice him. She feels his peculiarity, it's as if she sees him. Even though she doesn't really see him, she feels him, she always knows where he is, he will never be forgotten by her, she is the only one who notices his presence all the time.

11. Horace's dreams are completely meaningless, sometimes he manages to interpret and avoid the bad future, and sometimes he cannot understand what he dreamed but tries to explain and everything comes out confused and meaningless.

12. During the entire time that Fiona was missing, she was recovering from the injuries caused by her fall and the violence of the wights.

13. When Miss Peregrine saved Abe she probably didn't know what his peculiarity was, he was too young to be able to kill a hollow, he probably only discovered his gift when he was older and managed to survive an attack by hollowgasts. After all, there is no way for him to discover his power without having met Hollow in person.

14. Hugh has a whole routine organized for his bees so that their life in his stomach is as comfortable as if they lived in a normal hive.

15. There was probably a burial for Caul, and for all the current wights, after all, before they discovered what they had become, they were all presumed dead.

16. The constant transformations of ymbrynes into their respective birds harm their bone health. Their bones keep changing size and becoming hollow, their joints are also damaged, which is why they develop bone and joint problems early. Like Miss Peregrine's arthritis and how Miss Avocet became a wheelchair user.

17. Mr White and his men always knew that the children were with Caul and not Miss P. He was only so worried about knowing where the Falcon was because he knew that it was his master, and he was worried that he wasn't with the children. The wights were only chasing the children to force them to look for Miss Wren faster.

18. Wights do not have complete control or trust in hollows, and they can see the creatures, but they do not trust them enough to ride hollows like Jacob does.

19. Miss Peregrine's greatest fear is losing one of her children. She's already lost many children to tragic deaths, and she definitely doesn't want to go through that again.

20. The ymbrynes of the primordial era of the peculiars were also giants. Gigantic and very wise bird-women.

Shima/Yamantaka/Shima family HCs because I said I would ages ago and never got around to it #3

The Illuminati’s training for shima held more focus for yamantaka than him. Sure, he learned the moves and is more capable as a fighter than he lets on but most of the training was done when he was unconscious as it was yamantakas capabilities that they were more interested in.

Such as that yamantaka has the ability to summon “familiars” the same as uke and mike. Except they’re not really familiars, more like Shades aka the spirits of yamantakas previous vessels that can be summoned as an army composed entirely of black flame. (See hc #1)

Shima has met all the previous vessels, he can’t see them all the time of course but in times of trouble or contemplation, sometimes they appear and tell him things. Battle strategies, things he didn’t catch from others expressions. It helps his spy work immensely but most of the time it’s because the vessels want a fight. Its been happening ever since he was a kid and it kind of terrified him at first but no longer. In a way he’s not really alone and sometimes they can be useful if their soul isn’t so degraded. (The longer it’s been since the souls body died, the more degraded their soul gets to the point where the older can’t talk and are husks that follow orders and yearn for battle or the younger who can talk and recognize things and are somewhat calmer)

Sometimes he talks to takezo. As a kid he made it known his displeasure of Takezos decision for 6 month old baby him. At that point he wanted takezo to feel at least a little guilty but you can’t pry emotion from the dead. Now they just sometimes sit together because despite shimas complicated relationship with yamantaka, he’s alive and having more fun than ever and for that he can’t be anything but weirdly grateful. Takezo is the only who can relate to the feeling of just not caring anymore, of being tired and sick of overly complicated people. Of wanting the simple pleasures in life. It’s like two bitches telling each other exactlyyyyy.

When shimas father questioned if shima was prepared to betray those he held close, his response was immediate. “Of course that’s what he does best.” He’s known the moment he was met by the pretty girl from the Illuminati (hc that it was homare) and given that business card that this was the out he’d been waiting for. The worse he acts out the less his family will want anything to do with him, leaving him the freedom he so wanted without the blowout and drama of a fight. And of course there was a fight after he said that, he got brutally lectured and even a little beat up but it’s worth it to him. Sure he’s pretty much selling his soul to a terrorist organization but he’s doomed to Gehenna anyway, who cares… certainly not him, at least while he’s not on deaths door and he’ll do what he can to avoid that at all costs.
