#this headcanon was inspired by autocorrect

[headcanontheshitoutofsoulsborne]

Ornstein is the only person who bothers to remember Smough's name.

Most people of Lordran have difficulty in remembering Smough's name, oftentimes settling with such names such as Smith, Smother, Simon, Samantha, or in the odd case, McHugh, much to the executioner's ire.

The list goes on...

I really like hearing about old man Mike and I dunno how much inspiration you take from real life Nesmith, but I was wondering how tech-savvy he is in your headcanon? I imagine since he spends a lot of his time at home it makes sense he’d be an avid user of the interwebs, and in some 2018/2019 interviews I’ve read he said he played a lot of World of Warcraft and tells everyone he meets about how much he loves Vaporwave which is just a very funny concept to me :) https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/monkees-michael-nesmith-vaporwave-714253/ | http://www.rebeatmag.com/michael-nesmith-interview/ Here’s the said interviews since I think they’re cute reads, I especially like the quote, “This is on the channel called Shitpost Wizard.”

(If I already sent this ignore this one my computer froze or whatever so I'm not sure if the original went through or not)

honestly in my canon mike is Not tech savvy whatsoever. he does learn to use a computer in the late 90s, but only enough to know how to email and play the little solitaire game :) later, by the time he's much older and there's phones and everything, he just has no clue. also, he has a horrible habit of breaking every phone he gets his hands on. he can just barely text, and he fat fingers his texts all the time and autocorrect makes anything he types barely understandable. he probably has a facebook that only has one post.

micky on the other hand is very tech savvy. he's constantly keeping up with all the newest things and is just very into tech and new things and all that stuff, he has a few social medias, facebook, twitter, stuff like that. he's always sending texts to mike , and mike will just be like "👍" and then immediately drop his phone and shatter it on the ground

he'd hand his phone to micky and it would have the fuckin linux error on it and micky would be like "what on earth did you do!!??" and he's just like "I just don't know what went wrong 😦" he's always giving micky his phone after breaking or bricking it. he'd have like every single app running and the phone would be hot to the touch😭

TL;DR mike is terrible at tech, doesn't understand the Internet and is very indifferent to it all. he likes puzzles and crosswords

Meant to say “Will reblog with headcanons” fuck autocorrect.

Anyway, wait whaat?? My favorite character is Romeo too! And Ivor. I was actually kind of dreading that you would say him because I have far too many things to say about him. There is another reblog of an answer to one of my ask not too far down from this one (hopefully) that contains my collective thoughts on the events that led up to Fred’s death and Xara’s imprisonment and it was also way too long, if you want to go read that.

Anyway, to begin:

• Back when he was a human he had this sketchbook full of fantasy mob ideas he thought would be cool. He would work out their fictional anatomy and think about their habitats and imagine ecological niches that would make them thrive. And sometimes he would draw like, landscapes for those habitats that he thought he could actually terraform if only he had the resources and the patience.

• He also loves the cold! He grew up in some sort of hot biome, possibly the nether, but he liked the fact that he can exert himself and fight stuff for way longer without getting heatstroke in snowy biomes. As an admin he was just intrigued by the aesthetic. His admin costume is made of garments and armor pieces inspired by Vikings, Russia, and Norway. Is this entirely because of the comment about fjords and how cute snowmeo is? Mind your own business.

• He was a big fan of obstacle courses and mob hunting and fencing when he was human. He knew some redstone tricks because of the obstacle course thing, sometimes he would get bored and try to make them harder using fancy contraptions. So when he became an admin he was just doing the same stuff, but trying to push it what with the problem of resources out of the way. • He was a theatre kid! This is kind of a given with how theatrical he is in general, but I like to extend this to say he has a soft spot for people who are passionate about it. Like, he makes exceptions for them.

• He met Xara first who introduced him to Fred. He was immediately attached to both of them from the first time they met because Xara thought his enhanced obstacles were cool, and Fred payed attention to him, and this man is so hungry for validation. Like, very prone to the high standards and constantly feeling like he’s failing at being a person. He needs you to tell him he’s doing a good job.

• Speaking of which, he has NPD and ADHD. The self loathing, rejection sensitivity, hyper competitiveness, and impulsivity is real. So is the need for interaction and praise constantly. Not getting it feels like a slight against him. (Actually that part is just canon.)

• He would randomly drop by sometimes and give some citizen or other of Romeoburg like, the best armor and weapons. Like, completely kit them out with all the most epic stuff. Just for fun. They would go and do silly stupid things with it to impress him, which he loved.

• The only admin that couldn’t play an instrument. (Xara can play accordion and violin and acoustic guitar, and Fred had this precious little harmonica.) But he’s the only one who can sing good. Not as much work memorizing chords and musical notation and getting to know a tool when it’s your own voice.

• The admins got their power from the command block. Nobody knows where it came from or how it works. Maybe it existed since before the world and is partly responsible for its creation.

• Taking an admin’s power means you have it now. Romeo had three times the original amount of power he was supposed to by the time he bedrocked over the Underneath. Jesse has three admins worth of power but doesn’t know it because survival mode.

• His admin form was so scruncley. Bitey sharp teeth and grabby looking claws, and a devil tail like a some sort of imp. Just. So scribbly. Has the energy of a spring that’s been wound up. Glowy slit eyes. Scruncley pointy ears. They move. Like a wild thing.

• His new mortal form keeps some of the scruncley-ness. His eyes are gold now. (They were brown before) His ears are still pointy. His teeth are still sharp. His hair is still unnatural red. (It was a natural shade of red before. All the admins had natural hair colors before. Xara’s was brown. Fred’s would be black because he’s mixed race Black and Asian, but he would bleach it cause that looks cool.)

• He gets really overwhelmed with physical stimulation in his new mortal body. Sometimes it’s painful and he feels the need to escape his own skin. But sometimes it’s just that the feeling of breathing, of a texture, or the flavor of something will take his breath away, and he’s have to sit down and process it for a while. Being mortal is bad and scary and requires constant effort and ever since he lost his powers he has had nothing to latch onto to chase away the insecurity with bursts of euphoric achievement because that thing he made was cool. But there is something to be said about how much more intense the experience of existing in places is. He’s never experienced just appreciating things so much.

• First thing he does is get to work on rebuilding Champion City. Only some people died, but almost everyone was horribly injured. Have ideas about how that went down, but it would stray into fanfiction territory. (Feel free to ask me about it though!) And then he made his way back down to the Underneath. There are multiple ways down there that I headcanon. The Nether, for instance, goes all the way down. It’s also possible to break bedrock, at least in Java edition. I have an animation about this in the works.

I think that’s it about Romeo? I have more headcanons about a theoretical AU where Jesse Axel and Olivia switch roles with Romeo Fred and Xara that I think is cool, but it doesn’t belong in the scope of this post. Will reblog again later with Soren headcanons for you.

Who is your favorite MCSM character? Will reboot this with all my headcanons about them

AHHHH I LOVE THIS QUESTION! (EXPLODES EXPLODES EXPLODES) /POS

Favorite OVERALL character is probably Romeo!!!! Favorite S1 character is Soren (he’s a POS sometimes but he’s so silly I want to put him a glass jar)

[edengarden]

SENDING IN ANOTHER REQUEST-cause why not-

Can I request headcanons for Akaashi, Tendou, and Bokuto? With an s/o who's favorite past time is writing? 👉👈

{told you I wanna be specific :'))}

Tbh it’s not even that specific boo, you’re doing great

Akaashi

Writer couple writer couple writer c--

plsss as an editor Akaashi just,, understand you so well when it comes to this? misunderstandings are RARE with him because he works with writers, for writers, is probably an aspiring writer himself, he’s got it ALL

he’ll support you TOO well with it, might even suggest that you make a career out of it

he’ll volunteer to read your work in a heartbeat and sometime his feedback is way too professional for your liking

like keiji pls this isnt a client its your s/o

Tendou

Aww he’s so supportive!

Tendou’s also SUPER creative, so if you let him, he’ll be giving you the most original prompts you’ve ever heard in your entire LIFE.

half of them are mind-opening and the other half are just crack material, but both are so good somehow

Will literally melt if you write anything that’s inspired by him. and he’ll keep it, for a loooongg time. he probably had it memorized

proof-reader? proof-reader. Sorry, you aren’t his S/O anymore you’re his autocorrect

Bokuto

Has no idea why one would love writing so much, but he supports you anyway

‘oh so you write stories?? Tell me one!’ pls he’s trying so hard

theres a 50% chance he won’t understand what you’re trying to convey in your work, yet he always wants to read it

he praises you for your hobby and skill so much omg. he will NEVER believe you if you tell him you’re not that good compared to other writers. to him, you should publish books already.

will literally always ask for you to put him in your writing. and no, not like, inspired or nuanced, he wants to see his name and person in that shit bro lmaoo

[runicbeast]

One of my IRL bros is named Antonio, so I thought I’d give a little name insight that may or may not be relevant to fans / headcanoners ~🎵 

The name “Antonio” is a hecking mouthful, does NOT come up in day to day speech / 95% of the time. Yeah, all 3 kids on Pepa’s side of the family have 3 syllables each - Camillo and Dolores, I can see those being used most of the time because of the flow. Antonio? Trust me, if this kid ain’t having his Gift Ceremony or someone is being dramatic, his siblings won’t use the full thing -- in my experience.

So if he isn’t being called “Antonio”, what ARE they calling him? Nicknames! Canonically, when Pepa is going to the Nursery to collect Antonio’s things right before WDTAB, she refers to him as “Tonito”. Now, if you aren’t familiar with Spanish, the -ito or -ita suffix is a cutesy addition / edit to a word. For example - Gato and Perro are Cat and Dog in Spanish. Gatito and Perrito would be the equivalent of Kitty and Puppy ~🎵   This is also seen with Casita’s name, Casa meaning house, the added -ita being a cutesy addition, basically “Housey” or “Homey” :P . This is perfect in this scenario as Antonio is the baby of the house ~

What other nicknames are on the table though? My brother Antonio is closer in age to me than the baby boy Antonio Madrigal, so that may cause some difference in dynamics. My go-to is to call him ‘Onio. It’s a bit informal, but I can DEFINITELY see Camillo using it!  Another option is “Tony”, which my bro often uses as shorthand for himself if Antonio is too long, like in videogames and things ~

Nicknames I wouldn’t go with (This is my personal opinion, and only those I can get from his name itself, nothing that’d be inspired by say his gift or whatever) - “Ant”. Ehh no, weird and wrong. Only if he’s like,,, getting bullied or something. “Nio” what is this the Matrix? “Onion” This is only here because autocorrect always tries to correct my “‘Onio” to “Onion”. Again only if he’s like, getting bullied or something.

Idk if any of this was useful or insightful at all, but happy fanfic writing / headcanoning!! 🤘 🤘

... autocorrect hits again! It was BOROMIR, not brownie. I was referring to the discussion about his character you had with absyhte.

Hello again!! Is it Boromir-loving hours? Yes, it’s Boromir-loving hours.

I have. A LOT of thoughts about him. I’m writing a Boromir/Théodred fic now, because when I have thoughts I express them through smutty fanfiction, which I think is very cool of me. 

After uh, several hours of conversation with @absynthe--minded, I’ve come to some conclusions that I cannot shake, and don’t want to, because they really inform my perception of him as a character. This is probably going to be out of order, but, uh, well, this isn’t school and you’re not getting a formal essay out of me.

Boromir in Fellowship has been watching his father fall--but not in the way he thinks. He’s 41 years old; he’s watched his father govern his entire life. But only recently does he see the way his father governs change. He has no way of knowing that his father has a Palantir, or that he could be corrupted through it, even if only corrupted to a lack of hope. (By the way, that’s the corruption of Denethor I see most plainly--not an erosion of his morals, but an erosion of his hope. Lack of Estel, I’ve seen some people say, though not expressly about him.) So Boromir has been fighting on the front lines of Gondor since he was a teen, and has recently, without much external change that he can see, watched his father go from being Morgoth’s Mightiest Foe, seeing his father basically as a Fingolfin-sort of figure, waging a constant, unending stalemate with Mordor, to his father suddenly acting as if they’re post-Bragollach. I can’t imagine the terror, the anxiety, the despair that would inspire, to see someone you’ve looked up to as a rock against The Enemy your whole life, your leader, your inspiration, suddenly start behaving as if it’s only a matter of time until you all lose everything you’ve fought tooth and nail for.

Boromir thinks his father is essentially always right--and chooses to follow Aragorn anyway. This is a bit more headcanon, but has to do with Boromir’s acceptance of Aragorn. So, I think deep down, Boromir knows that Denethor II isn’t going to want to give up Stewardship. Also on the surface. Because of all the times he’s basically said, you know, the Dunedain have left us to defend alone, no one helps us, we’re the Only Thing standing between Mordor and Total Devastation of the world. That’s very much Denethor II’s identity, at this point. If Boromir had showed up with the Rohirrim at his back ready to assist as allies, Denethor II would probably have been weird about it, because in his mind, he’s the only thing keeping Sauron at bay. And Boromir still swears to Aragorn with his last breath. Even in the books, where he tells Aragorn, “Save my people,” he’s commending the soul of Gondor--its people--to Aragorn, rather than saying something like “Help my Father,” or even “Destroy Sauron,” etc. With his final breath, he chooses to trust, which is huge, given that in my perception...

Denethor II doesn’t want Boromir to be a big thinker. Again, this is headcanon, but I think it’s borne out. Boromir is noted as being unfond of learning, romance, etc, preferring “arms and warfare” to all of this. While I think a good portion of that is natural inclination, I also think Denethor II sees him that way, and encourages it. He doesn’t want another son to question what he does, he wants his son to be a faithful lieutenant and follow orders without wondering whether they’re right or wrong. Boromir isn’t known for creativity and decision-making, he’s known for being told what the simplest situation is and achieving it at whatever the cost. I’m not calling him stupid here, but he’s not clever, either. He’s not crafty or innovative. He’s a weapon in his father’s hands, and his father likes that, because deep down, Denethor II knows Faramir is a lot more like him, and that’s why they butt heads. He treats Faramir more like an heir--constantly evaluated, challenged, found wanting, because he’s supposed to replace him someday, whereas he treats Boromir as an extension of himself, his Longer Arm.

“I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”

Faramir loves not the sword for its sharpness, the arrow for its swiftness, the warrior for his glory. Denethor II does love the sword for its sharpness, loves the arrow for its swiftness, the warrior for his glory. Boromir is the sword loved for its sharpness, the arrow loved for its swiftness, the warrior loved for his glory.

in regards to what you pointed out a few posts ago, ngl one of my least favorite fandom things is when they make Kaminari the Har Har Stupid Joking ADHD Bi Playboy Who Is Never Serious Trope. like, he's very smart, 'worst in ___ area of a UA course' is very impressive and I don't remember if it even said that or just that he was studying with some other students, worried about his grades overall, calls himself stupid with implied insecurities about it, and didn't think he was very smart compared to the other people in the course. quirk overuse makes him loopy, incoherent, and think everything's funny. and yeah, he's a bit of a flirt and made a few perverted comments and actions that he clearly didn't think through that well. I'm pretty sure he's not ever stated to be bi in the manga because it was written by a coward, so I think people should think more about why they're associating and pairing together the idea of "hot flirty playboy who if legally able would sleep with everyone he meets" with emphasis or joke in the captions of whatever the content is on him being bi. I don't think this is inherently bad, even put together, but the execution feels kind of :/ and shallow. and I mainly just wish they'd pause to consider if there's any reason (subconscious or intentional) why one of those makes them think about the other, and at the very least lean back to see if they're blatantly making those traits centric around each other and tweak how they're showing them a little. Part of this is also because it's basically his fanon sexuality, but then they stick together "oh he's bi and everyone thinks that" and "he's made flirty or perverted comments and actions in canon at some point" and then mentally exaggerate and have this Canon Image of him as *waves hand at above* and I don't think that's happening consciously in most cases but. again. Cookiecutter Bi Party Playboy Who's Made a Date Offer to Everyone In The Building. not a flirty Person or a Playboy who is bi and flirts with more than one genders

I myself headcanon him as adhd and while the exact sexuality depends on my mood I think of/have him as bi in a lot of my content, but it's the same thing with why non adhd people see how he acts and label "adhd!" Especially about comprehension speed and derpy acting and intelligence and attention span jokes/tropes. Again, not bad in and of itself, but the specific parts of his behavior that make them think he's adhd, or that they start making jokes about or Ha Ha ADHD'ing, or that they think is why we project ADHD on him, (which they aren't necessarily wrong about, but like right in a really disrespectful look at how funny this is oh look squirrel way that's only funny when adhd people are doing it and it isn't all mocking like that) when they see other people calling him adhd, are the wrong ones, I think, and it shows in their characterization of him.

I'm not saying that any of those traits are bad in a character, but as a queer adhd girl with very high annual test scores and Gifted Kid Intelligence but extremely poor grades, focus, and brain damage (admittedly nothing like his, it was a longterm passive thing that mainly just made me have a Lot of Really Bad headaches, and closest thing it did to me was make me sluggish and emotional on bad days and also techincally have the potential kill my language bit if left untreated or the surgery messed up, which it didn't, and it won't be a problem again. but even after explaining that it wasn't cancer or any sort of tumor, and after seeing it do very little at all to affect my behavior outside of irritability and performance, because y'know, constant migraines, gone after the surgery but this was before that, Certain People I Was Vaguely Kind Of Acquaintances With started to treat my like I was a fragile glass thing going to to drop dead and revive myself speaking like a comic relief cartoon crazy person at any moment which was. patronizing.) I've since had surgery for, the way the fandom combines them into stereotypes and portrays them really just rubs me the wrong way- "Flirty Bi(tm) Playboy" "Har Har ADHD Can't Focus Or Get Things After They're Explained To Him, He's Still Confused And An Idiot" "Stupid Person With Brain Damage Who Can't Take Care Of Or Think For Themself And Acts Stupid And Funny For People To Laugh At" which tbh is super ableist even and especially when people irl do fit that description, and also reminds me of the Autistic Person Freaking Out And Being Dramatic sense of humor. And I know it's not helped by canon, because it done for comic relief and to limit his powers, but explored more I think it as a limitation could have been used way more interestingly than canon did and also call me biased but that quirk induced brain frying sounds at least as concerning as Izuku's quirk's backlash.

And it's a shame!! Because he's so much more interesting than that! Instead, the fandom gives me the Cookicutter Funny Bi ADHD Flirt Who's An Idiot and I am sad about it.

tbh it reminds me of what happened to percy jackson, esp with the ADHD Idiot Trope thing. which sucks because apparently it originated in the author making up stories around characters like his adhd and dyslexic kid inspired by Greek myths to tell him after running out of actual myths because it was his special interest and he wanted more. and then the series got kind of all over the place and the fandom processed that the adhd and dyslexic main character who does dumb things sometimes but is very combat smart and great at strategizing and leading gets bad grades and has trouble focusing and has, y'know, adhd, and made him the ADHD Idiot and erased his Gifted Kid girl friend's traits and ADHD and dyslexia into No Nonsense Calls Him an Idiot And Thinks He's Stupid And Has To Tell Him What To Do And Manage His Life For Him and honestly that just kind of sucks and it reminds me of what happened to fandom Kaminari. and now that I think of it people have jirou like that around him a lot too.

im fine with you answering this publicly if you want or have something to add but probably tag as ableism and maybe a biphobia mention content warning for people who don't have the energy to deal with thinking about those kinds of negative things rn because I kind of Went Off About It

I love this! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences 💚(and double thank you for tag suggestions)💚

I couldn’t agree more that a lot of fandom has messed up Kami’s character, which is why I’ve kinda been posting more about him cause he’s just stuck in my head.

I think a lot of fandoms have trouble with characters like this, people have a hard time with duality in characters and fast/fun posts are easier to make if you flatten a character down.

The did it to Kami, they did it to Percy, they did it to Ron Weasley, they do it to Thor, the list goes on. If being the Smart One ™️ isn’t your thing and you can be goofy than you get pigeonholed into the idiot trope.

I feel for Kami a lot(probably because I have adhd/brain damage too)

It sucks when you’re smart but it’s not the traditional, measurable kind of smart(even if by national comparison Kami technically is).

I got terrible grades growing up, and I pretty much got the absolute lowest gpa you can get and still graduate. But absolutely no one would have known if I didn’t tell them, because I’m not dumb.

(It’s okay if you are “dumb”, I love me a head empty just vibes friend. You’re 100% valid, stil worthy of joining discussions, and should be listened to and taken seriously. This just isn’t about that tho)

I joke sometimes that I’m clever and witty but not smart, because that’s exactly what it feels like.

I have lots of thoughts and ideas that I think I articulate pretty well, I am excellent at finding the humor in things and expressing it in a way that’s funny to others too, and there is almost zero problems I can’t find a work around. And the people in my life love it, and they love to use it.

But eventually everyone in my life finds out that I’m not smart. They see the way I have to pause to Google how to calculate a tip, that I don’t know the name of all 50 states or even where to find them on a map, or I legitimately just can not spell (if you ever see a post where it looks like I used a weird word choice it’s probably because I tried 4 times and autocorrect+Google couldn’t help me and voice to text wasn’t an option)

No one ever questions my intelligence until they find out about my adhd and/or catch me struggling with it. After the mask comes off it’s like they can’t even hear me anymore, nothing I say could be true or matter because I’m now just the goofy accident prone spacy girl. My family literally calls me Spacy

And ya know what sometimes I just let people think that because it’s easier, it’s easier than explaining that I’m dyslexic and that I didn’t have a single geography/history clas until 10th grade and shocker the capital of Iowa doesn’t come up much by then. And it’s easier for me to laugh off losing my keys again than dwell on the fact that sometimes it feels like I’m losing my marbles.

And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if after this post I get a lot more “fact checkers” and push back on anything else I post.(not talking about people who want to genuinely engage,y’all are always welcome, I’m talking those people who don’t wanna look it up themselves but no longer trust me to know what I’m talking about)

Kami is a sweet brilliant boy. He’s in a nationally high ranking school, he loves the weather channel, he’s careful about his quirk that could easily hurt his friends in combat, he has a very high emotional intelligence level, he wears dorky shirts with electricity puns on them, and he pays attention to his friends and remembers a lot of little things about them.

He wants to be a hero and he takes that seriously, and the series has tried time and time again to tell y’all that smiling and laughter are an important part of that. Kami excels at this part! So what if his history grades don’t rival the top of the class, the top 5 students would struggle hard to do what Kami does.

Iida can’t relax, Momos rather shy, Todo struggles with social cues, Midoriya is canonically not funny, and jfc where to even begin with Katsuki. I’m certain they’ll all grow up to be excellent heros in their own right, but none of them are going to bring the level of joy and camaraderie that Denki can. You can’t test that into someone.

Kami also just notices people differently and has any easy way of joining in with them, he doesn’t struggle approaching Katsuki or Shinso. Sure he doesn’t hit the the nail on the head the same way Deku does but he’s the only one who has the guts and skills to try. Also he’s not that kinda friend, he’s not looking to a save these guys but pal around with them

I think Kami 100% realizes what a special case and tough nut to crack Bakugo is, I don’t think he’s just careless or too dumb realize his life’s at stake or whatever.

I think he’s purposely testing Bakugos boundaries all while trying to not be a threat to Katsukis actual ego and calling Bakugo out when he needs it in a way that not to serious. Kami knows how to be just goofy enough that he’s approachable. He’s also keyed in that the way to Bakugo is through Deku, meanwhile everyone else is stuck believing the opposite.

Kami also realized how important music is to Jiro and saw an opportunity to let her display her skills and combin the two worlds she lives, and he wasn’t afraid to get some back lash from her for it.

Like Deku Kami isn’t afraid to be uncomfortable. You really can’t teach that level of social ease, you can teach the posture and feed people a couple of lines but it’ll never hit the same. Funny approachable people have spent a lifetime learning the craft, usually out of necessity.

It’s actually what gives me the biggest adhd vibes from him, because adhd is (speculated to be) a dopamine deficiency disorder. People with adhd are constantly trying to raise their dopamine levels, and that means looking for praise and reward and nothing makes the human brain light up faster than postative human connections.

Adhd children struggle a lot with connecting with peers and often find making people laugh a fast way into people’s circles and makes it more likely people will overlook being interrupted or spaced out on.

Also adhd people are pretty much forced by their own brain structures to be genuine in all they do, low dopamine levels make it very hard to do things you don’t enjoy because there no promise of dopamine from the activity and you don’t have enough to spare, plus impulsiveness makes it really hard to not show when you do or don’t enjoy something.

I agree that Kami is also painted as overly perverted at times, he’s a little flirty but in a fun casual way but it’s not the foundation of his personality and it’s really mellowed out over the course of the series.

And while I subscribe to the bi hc from his interactions with Jiro and Shinso, we should all be very mindful that we don’t lump these characteristics together. The are separate facets of his personality that are not dependent on each other in anyway.

Kami deserves all the respect and love, I can’t wait to see our electric king again 🖤⚡️🖤

Hell I'll say it. I often talk about how characters such as Oowada and Momota represent toxic masculinity, and how it can impact a man and/or his relationships - but there's a character who is much more clearly impacted by it, yet it's vexing to some of the local kids if you say it. Chihiro Fujisaki is the most evident victim of toxic masculinity in Danganronpa. (My autocorrect tried to make me type "in the world", I don't think I would go that far.)

At the end of the day, his view on men and women is quite sexist. Men are big and strong, and women are small and weak. When he meets Oogami and Asahina, he repeatedly refuses to exercise with them, even without the changing rooms involved - and I don't think there's much doubt that his fragile masculinity (and will anyone contradict that his masculinity is fragile?) is hurt from seeing himself weaker than these two women. He's so ashamed of being small and weak that he chooses to present as a woman - and his fears are confirmed when he undoubtedly passes. He's been taught by his surroundings to hate "looking like a woman" to the point that he'd rather people think he's a woman, than a man who looks like a woman.

And I'm not here to justify the canon fact that Fujisaki wants to get stronger and with that goal in mind, revealed to Oowada that he had a male body. Don't let my ramblings get in the way of your headcanons - I'm interested in toxic masculinity and how people of all genders can be impacted by it, but maybe you're not.

I'd also like to think that his will to become stronger was largely inspired by seeing Oogami and Asahina's strength. He'd started presenting as a woman with the belief that women were smaller, and weaker than men, but was challenged by the sheer existence of two athletic and strong women. He realized that being a woman wasn't an excuse. His initial goal was to "not be a weak man" - and "being a woman instead" felt like a solution, but now he looked like a weak woman. His only solution became to actually get stronger.

tl;dr: Chihiro was the biggest victim of toxic masculinity, but also the only one whose toxic masculinity was truly challenged.

At the end of the day, this conversation is very binary, and that's due to the way the game was written. In the grand scheme of things, that may also have impacted a character like Chihiro... Who one could say went to high-school in 2010 rather than 2020.

I’m not sure if you answered this already, but how did, in your headcanon, Ganondorf become the “demon king”, and how did his mother react? I usually go by the Skyward Sword explanation that he was the prophesied reincarnation of the demon king, and I always was interested in how Ganondorf’s mother reacted to finding out that her son was the next prince of darkness. (Also, Demon King originally autocorrected to Demisexual King, so now I have a new headcanon, lol.)

I’m pretty sure I mentioned it a few times but I don’t think I ever went in more depth about it, so!

Ganondorf was a child when he was possessed by Demise, but it wasn’t a “wam-bam outta nowhere” sort of deal. Nah, it was a planned attack. In his first lifetime, Ganondorf would’ve been a significant individual to the Gerudo because he’d be the closest of being a pure-blooded male in that specific timeline: his mother and father were both Gerudo and they ended up having a son, which is so low of a chance in percentage it’s basically unheard of. He’d have been the first pure-blooded male in a long time, and a cult saw that as the perfect vessel for their Demon King.

Not quite the Yiga but perhaps a source of inspiration for them in later timelines, this cult was led by none other than the twisted witch twins Koume and Kotake (best known as Twinrova), who had pledged their loyalty to the Demon King and had become demons themselves. This cult believed that Demise was a “world cleanser” and his reign would purge the land of “sin and the unworthy”, and so they devoted themselves to his cause. After his first defeat and his claim of being reborn, he could have been referring to what the Cult had cookin’ up:

Bring their lord back in a mortal vessel.

So they stole the boy away when he was at a more suitable age (around 7-10), possibly stole his parents too as bloody sacrifices to help infuse their lord with more power in their ritual. They’d have waited for him to be an adult but they ultimately concluded that he’d be far easier to capture (and subdue) as a child overall.

And thus begins the start of Ganondorf the Demon King.

Today is exactly one month since I saw Les Mis for the first time...wow, look what's become of me since then. I can't believe it's only been a month, what the actual hell?! I've done so much in such a short period of time! I've learned all the character names (and so has my phone's autocorrect for that matter), and I've developed little personality quirks/headcanons for them all (or at least for Les Amis). I've written fanfiction and made a bunch of headcanon posts. I've written more in the past month than I probably have in a year (or more for that matter). Gods I missed writing. It's nice to have inspiration again! Also, I've gained followers and mutuals and friends...this fandom has literally changed my life. I Heart Les Mis!!
