#yokai watch headcanons

[anitoko-17294]

Another Venoct headcanon

Venoct, Shad. Venoct, and Illuminoct are brothers

Shad. Venoct's the oldest

Venoct's the middle child who needs therapy and refuses it like the plague

And Illuminoct's the youngest brother and basically the baby of the Venoct brothers (He’s not really a baby, it’s just that he’s younger than Venoct or Shad. Venoct)

[forest-dwelling-abomination]

So I have quite a few different headcanons for the games so I’m just gonna list off some of the more general ones and the ones for the first game (mostly?). Some of them are implied or kind of hinted at, others not.

(Most, if not all, of these can work for either Katie or Nate but since I play as Nate that is what I’ll be writing)

1. A lot more time passes between the games than it does in canon; there’s almost a year between the yokai elevator getting sealed and the yokai returning so Nate is like 12 during the infinite inferno debacle.

2. Lucas and the yokai watch went with the other yokai when the elevator sealed but the medalium and the medals within did not. Nate takes to carrying the medallium around with him in his school bag as a keepsake of sorts, he takes it out sometimes just to stare at the medals.

3. Nate cried immediately after the yokai left as he sat admiring the cherry blossoms. He spent the coming weeks just subconsciously looking for any sign of yokai meddling or his friends just to be reminded that they weren’t there anymore.

4. Nate actually starts seeing and sensing yokai on his own very early on but it’s only like a vague silhouette or sensation in the back of his mind until he scans them. After he’s scanned a yokai they are visible to him forever, unless they’re putting proper effort into hiding that is. This ability to see and sense the spirits slowly gets stronger the longer he’s exposed to em.

5. Between the events of the yokai watch one plot and the infinite inferno, Nate starts volunteering at shoten temple; cleaning off the graves and replacing the flowers around them. He gets paid by the monk (not a lot but ya know) but he isn’t there for the money, it just makes him feel closer to the spirits since he’s doing something to honour the dead.

6. In a similar vein as the last one, he also spends a lot of time up on mount wildwood, mostly around the sacred tree. He’ll do his homework sat leaning against the trunk or even sitting up in the lower branches, no one ever comes back there so it’s kind of his little safe haven.

7. Nate got really into drawing so that he could remember exactly what his friends looked like, he has little fun facts written between each drawing; things about them and who they are as people that you could only know if you knew them personally. He also has a separate little sketch book full of drawings of the bugs he’d caught.

8. The cats up on mount wildwood love him.

9. Nate ends up like weirdly desensitized to a lot of stuff revolving death or anything like gross, he’s dealt with too much to be fazed.

10. He couldn’t look at spiders the same way after the tarantutor incident. Like he isn’t scared of them but they definitely aren’t his favorite thing in the world.

11. Nate acts all annoyed with jibanyan’s chocobar obsession but he’s secretly the one making sure they always have some at home. He told his mom they were his favorite n’ everything.

12. Jibanyan sleeps curled up at the foot of Nate’s bed and cuddles with him whenever he has a nightmare, whisper sleeps next to the bed to keep watch over him.

13. Nate has in fact gotten caught off guard by yokai (it takes him a second to summon his team) and even caught in the crossfire during fights, be it by the yokai themselves or the general debris created. He has a couple small scars from such instances alongside the random scars one gets just by going through life.

14. Boy just in general cannot mind his own business, if he sees anyone looking even slightly concerned he will ask what’s up. He loves being helpful.

15. He has little sleeves with individual slots for medals in the pockets of his cargo pants so he can actually carry like twelve medals without his bag, it’s six medals per pocket, it’d be more if he wanted to just have them rattling around in there but it’s hard as shit to keep track of so he usually sticks to just the six in his right pocket.

what niche ykw headcanons do you have? I mean stuff that isn't even accidentally implied , it's literally something that came in your head one day and now it's stuck,

For example, i like the idea of Fumi's parents being divorced, they just occasionally spend time with their daughter together

IDK why, i think it was just a big ol projection when I was playing a games as a child

Now it's your turn fool!

Special Fan-kai Alert: Elastinyan

This shouldn’t have taken me 4 days but it’s finally complete! With a new title board too.

I made him in the concept art but here he looks much better, a lot more normal cat like i think. i like the addition on patterns/scars on his tail.

Elastinyan Is C rank drain attribute of the mysterious tribe with the soultimate Stretch n Bash, where he springs himself at the target with his claws or head. As i previously mentioned, he can stretch his body anyway he likes(basically like Jake the dog). He can also pull a Kaa like from the jungle book, interpret that as you will. He’s jades first yo-kai he ever met and helped him get one in fact.

I won’t say much in terms of his backstory but there’s a reason he has those patterns and isn’t too fond of humans😅

But i hope you enjoy this rubbery gremlin >:3

Kyubi can’t actually pull off an entire conversation with multiple people without freezing up and that their charismatic personality is their only saving grace

…And I will hear no second opin—

Okay, but seriously, I honestly don’t think that Kyubi can pull off an entire conversation with multiple people at once without thinking of every possible worse case scenario and nearly giving themself a panic attack in the process and in the end, just straight up saying something stupid before dashing off

Like, sure, they might be able to pull off a conversation with like, one or two people, maybe even three or four (Assuming they knew a lot about the person(s)), but anything more than that, and their mind goes blank

I say this because Kyubi is based off a Kitsune, which, in Japanese Mythology, is a mystical fox known for possessing women and using them to seduce men, but in reality, foxes are INCREDIBLY skittish and scared as all hell of humans (As well as water, flashing lights, and loud noises) and in my au, animal Yokai (Or humanoid yokai based off animals more specifically) have both the traits of humans and the animal they are respectively based off

My conclusion?

Kyubi secretly has social anxiety and hides it using their charismatic personality and charm

I might draw this with their human form

There is no greater love than that of an autistic bisexual towards a pathetic fictional man with absolutely no rizz

My Thoughts/Kind of a Summary on "Katie's Yokai Butler"

This will all be from memory, so I apologize if some things are off, out of order, or otherwise incorrect `~` Edit Yomo here! I watched it about halfway through this but i have an awful memory ahhh! Anyways, screenshots n stuff might be included now! This'll basically be somewhat of a summary as well as a few observations I've made. Also, I'll be using the English names for characters! Keita is Nate, Fumi-chan is Katie, Warunyan is Baddinyan, so on so forth—☆

[SPOILERS AHEAD OBVIIIII]

The alternative timeline in summary is basically if Katie had gotten the yokai watch instead of Nate. It's first (and last) anime mention to my knowledge is in the Season One episode "Katie's Yokai Butler" if my memory served correctly! The episode follows Whisper through his 'dream' in what is presumed to be a look into the alternate Whisper's life. After a little argument with Nate about his messy room, Whisp cream goes to bed upset. He first wakes up to the smell of roses, and quickly realizes he isn't where he should be. (Probably bc Nate's room smells like cheeto puffs/j) He looks around to find himself in Katie's room. ( ＞Д＜；)

This brings us to the first major difference in this timeline; it takes place in Katie's house obviously! Makes sense since she got the watch instead of Nate >u○ Her room is a lot cleaner, and even appears to be more spacious than her male counterpart. That aside, Katie comes upstairs at some point to wake Whisper, to which he responds with confusion as to where he is and how she can see her. To this universe's Katie, she thinks he's acting strange. She pinches him upon request to make sure he's not dreaming, to which he didn't wake up. That confirms that!

(*￣∇￣)ノ

After a bit, Katie returns back downstairs when she hears her father calling her. This leads Whisper to wonder about another difference; the inclusion of Baddinyan. Besides the obvious fact of it not being Jibanyan, this also means Katie is probably going to interact with other yokai in a rather different manner than Nate! I say that because Nate met Roughraff in Season 1, Episode 3. He didn't even get Baddinyan's medal! (which sucks because that's one of my favorite yokai! Goofy little cat,,, °□°)

Baddinyan's first appearance in the episode 💞🐛👾

If we're talking on all timeline differences—not just the ones in Katie's house—then the meeting with Roughraff might be a good point to bring up. Considering the fusion was involuntary in Nate's timeline, what happened in Katie's? Did they decide to stay fused after that for whatever reason, did Katie fuse them at a place like shonen temple (which doesn't exist in the anime I think >~>), or did something happen pre-canon for them to have became friends and fuse? Sometimes, a fusion can be in the same place as the yokai that fused them in the anime due to certain yokai like Baddinyan forming a separate consciousness from either original host ( 〃=▽=〃) (I probably sound like a huge dweeb rn </33) Maybe Katie said something to the newly existent Baddinyan to make him give her the medal, and thus hanging around her from now on!

After some vague threats at fighting Whisper from Baddinyan, the yokai butler in question wonders about who replaced Hidabat in the closet. He goes to open it leading us into our next difference; Shadow Venoct. There isn't much from me to say about this one to be honest, he doesn't have any lines except for maybe the hissing of his snake-scarf thingies hissing at Whisper (¤o¤|||. I've noticed that a lot of Katie's friends seem to be more powerful, or at least a higher rank than Nate's. [Ex: Shadow Venoct being S Rank, Baddinyan being B Rank, and another S Rank we'll get into later—!♡]

Sometime after that, Katie calls Whisper down to help her investigate the strange way her mother was acting. Whisper attempts to use the Yokai Pad to identify the yokai...although Katie swipes it away just as quickly. <°[O□o;]°> She says that Whisper (or this timeline's original version of...) promised to try and memorize the information instead. It seems un-Whisper like, but to be fair, alternate Whisper probably formed a different dynamic than the usual! She identifies the yokai with the watch, to which Whisper (discreetly uses the pad and) figures out it's Noway!

To deal with him, Katie said that she'd summon a special rare friend. This turns out to be Robonyan's timeline counterpart; Goldenyan! Upon asking the golden robot cat for help, he says that this was 'beneath' his capabilities and basically that his power shouldn't be wasted on it...; ￣Д￣ Anyways, he leaves to the future and the episode ends with Katie using Whisper as a special attack against Noway, much to his dismay >u<. Oh, and it's revealed here that Whisper was dreaming.

Although it may have been a "dream", I'm 99% sure that was a plot device to not have to script in 'Whisper going to another universe!!' to the episode and how he eventually gets back. I personally believe it would be cool to see a spin-off dedicated to something like this! There's Nyanderful Days I guesssss but that doesn't really count cuz it just has Whisper and Jibanyan and it's just inserting Katie into the og series plot (￢_￢) There's a lot of potential, and I'm sure viewers over here in the west and Japan would be happy to see our girl the the spotlight for once wwwwww. Maybe it'd also be an opportunity to have McKraken put into the anime? Hint hint? That, as well as several yokai who might not have been seen by Nate due to him going different places as Katie, hanging out with different people, etc! Anyways, that's all for now!

Questioning

An amino apps user I came across a Lil while back that there was a decent bit of evidence for USApyon here to be transfem:

And in addition to all that he's got the very not cis implications just tied to what he is. See, he's an otter, but on some level he identifies as a Rabbit. His name is a double Japanese Rabbit pun, his soultimate is 'Bunny Beam' and he literally states in the anime that he doesn't feel comfortable without his Rabbit themed space suit.

So it's easy to see how this headcanon could form but... eh, while I see the vision I personally am not sure how I feel about it.

As much as I joke about transing the genders of random characters in this franchise, I do so mostly if I vibe with that character being trans. And in this specific instance I just don't feel it, so I don't really wanna commit to it.

So, rather instead I decided to use this headcanon as a backdrop to shout out all those people still figuring things out, those who don't really know what label to put on themselves.

I personally think it's a good idea to explore yourself within reason, like experimenting with different names and pronouns. Even if you find you're not queer you may end up discovering something else about yourself you wouldn't otherwise!

Also a side not, it is way harder to convey confusion on USApyon's face then I anticipated...

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this quick Lil piece!
