#you can take this headcanon from my cold dead hands

[taibu]

mmmmkay so ya'll remember this from DBS? Right?

Yeah, it's a screenshot of our boy Piccolo singing karaoke so badly that literally everyone else except his son eternal wing man right hand man student Gohan is reeling over it. Very funny and very much in character blah blah blah BUT!!! You know what I think?

This is all a ruse. This one moment here? Piccolo is faking the whole thing! He's actually a great singer!

Now we know that this isn't the only time Piccolo has canonically sang in BDS, as he has somewhat admitted to singing to Pan in this episode:

Now you may be saying; "but Taibu you dumb fox, kids don't care if you sing good or bad" and you're absolutely right.

HOWEVER! I have some sort of proof for my theory. And that proof is, believe it or not, Krillin!

In the 1994 Broly-movie (which I know isn't canon and all but I have a habit of combining non-, semi- and fully canon things together in the franchises I like so sue me I suppose lol) Krillin sings to the other fighters, and while the English version made a joke about how bad he was, in the original Japanese version; people actually marvel at how WELL he is singing, hell even Vegeta is jealous!

Now, Krillin's OG VA is Mayumi Tanaka who is also known for voicing Luffy in One Piece. The connection between the two characters had actually been hinted a few times in DBS with Krillin's phone playing the One Piece opening theme.

Either way, we know for a fact that Krillin, at least in the OG Japanese dub, is a good singer. But what does this have to do with Piccolo?

Well, Piccolo's OG VA is ALSO known for voicing a One Piece Character!

Toshio Furukawa has voiced Piccolo from pretty much day one (with the only exception being when Pics was just a baby, where he was voiced by Hiromi Tsuru, who also voiced Bulma until her passing in 2017). Furukawa also voices the character Ace in One Piece.

Many OP-characters have one or more character-themes performed by their VA's, and Ace is not an exception to this, having two songs dedicated to him, and being performed by Furukawa: Save my Heart and Living Fire. Furukawa gives both characters pretty similar voices, so it is a safe assumption that Piccolo's and Ace's singing voices are also similar. And if you listen to these songs, you can hear that they are really freaking well sung!

But why would Piccolo pretend that he can't sing well? Because THAT is the most in-character thing for him to do, innit?

If people knew how good his voice was, they would ask him to sing more often in Bulma's many parties, right? Hell, they must have pestered for HOURS to get Piccolo there even once! And once he did, he probably foresaw a lot more pestering in his future, so to stop it immediately, he faked one bad performance, just to stop people from ever letting him on the stage again, for the sake of their ears. The only one who thought it was great was Gohan, most likely because of his endless respect for his teacher, or perhaps he has heard Piccolo sing to himself in the wastelands and knows he can actually sing well.

So TL:DR-version: Piccolo actually has a REALLY nice singing-voice, he only faked to be bad to spare himself from ever having to stand up on a stage again. He preserves his singing to Pan and potentially other babies he has to look after in the future, and no-one else. Gohan knows he is good, due to him walking in on Piccolo singing a lullaby to Pan a couple of times, but keeps his friend's secret because it is clearly very important to him.

And that is the long-winded way of me telling that I whole-heartedly head-canon that Piccolo is a good singer. Thank you for coming to my Ted-talk.

since it’s annual dishonored brainrot period

you know Corvo either being mute from birth OR losing his tongue due to his torture period makes much more sense when Burrows confesses everything to Corvo

It becomes less stupid in way of ‘you’re gonna be executed tomorrow anyway it’s not like you’ll escape’ and more in a way of ‘you aren’t able to talk anyway, who you will tell?’

That way it starts to look like even more of a mockery from Burrows, spilling everything to a man who won’t be able to tell anyway not because he’ll be dead next morning, but because he literally can’t tell anyone

Like yes I know second game straight up denies such possibility with Corvo now being officially voiced, but before second game was even announced it was a solid (and still is honestly) head canon for me when I play Dishonored

There’s also something absolutely terrifying at meeting this masked man and he literally doesn’t answer anything you tell him

New Wukong headcanon!

He is a huge plant nerd, in jttw he's canonically very smart and well studied under subodhi so he's already a nerd, but all that cranks up to 11 with plants.

He collects all sorts of plants from all over the place and sets up habits on his island to let them thrive and he just really enjoys tending to them and watching them grow and thrive, he is the same way with the plants already on the island.

He gets super excited when he notices the plants adapting to the island and changing and becoming something new. One of the coolest things about immortality is seeing plants evolve!

He just thinks they're neat.

He's the nerdiest plant dad ever.

He's also really shy about showing people his plants because he doesn't want anyone messing with them or making fun of him for it (it happened more when he was younger).

When he did show MK his plant hyperfixation, MK quickly clocked it in as very not neurotypical behavior.

Wukong is in fact, not neurotypical.

AU where the family insist on bringing Jason's identity back to life thinking that being in the public eye will make it more difficult for him to crime lord. Except every time they do he just very convincingly fakes his death (because fuck them. If they don't actually want him in the family then he's not giving it to them). It gets to the point that the public is convinced something is very wrong with the Waynes, who have tearfully welcomed their dead son/brother back to the living five times in a row. The three leading theories are:

- they're cloning him and the clones eventually kill themselves when they find out

- they're gaslighting/brainwashing body doubles to believe they are a dead guy (who then kill themselves when they remember their actual lives)

- the family falls for it every time a half convincing conman approaches them saying he's the dead kid, and they kill him when they find out the deception, making it look like a suicide to avoid further investigation.

I don't usually ask for prompts starring a villain, but this one seems an interesting concept to me:

Cinder meets her biological parents in Atlas. They're not what she expected Atlesians to be.

(You know, I always thought of her parents as being from Mistral all things considered. That said, I do have a bit of fun with this)

Cinder paused in her step as she watched a woman who looked similar to her walk down the street in front of her. It had been years since she had thought about her parents, who they were or what they did, and for years she had always imagined she’d be angry at them for dumping her off at that blasted orphanage. And yet, as she watched this woman, she wasnt sure why that anger seemed to disappear and instead curiosity took its place. 

“We have a job to do, dont we?” Neo signed as he tried to get Cinder’s attention. 

“Give me a minute,” Cinder said as she pulled away from Neo, her eyes stayed on the woman as she watched her walk away. She didnt know when she had started to walk after or when her pace started to pick up as she moved her way past a few people who walked the street. Her heart raced the longer she followed, uncertain what to say as she tried to think about what to tell her. “I hate you,” and “Why did you leave me?” ran through her mind as she tried to think of other things to say, words caught in her throat the moment she saw that she was spotted. Cinder froze in her tracks once more, eye locked on the woman’s as she took a step back. 

The woman stepped forward with a smile. “Ed, is that you?” 

“E-Ed?” Cinder repeated slowly, her voice cracked as she tried to find the other words to say. “I-I think you have the wrong person.” 

“I’d never forget those amber eyes, Edwin. They look just like your father’s.” 

Cinder took another step back as she listened to the woman, her voice sounded just like hers yet calm. Looking at her face was almost like looking in a mirror from before she had the maiden powers, blue eyes instead of amber. And yet, it was all real. From the way the woman rushed over, footsteps clicking against the stone road, all the way to the way the woman pulled her into a warm hug. 

The woman squeezed Cinder in the hug, holding her tight. “I thought I’d never see you again after I had to give you up.” 

“You… you had to?” Cinder asked quietly as she watched her mother cry against her, her fingers shook as she wrapped her arms around her mother. “Why… why did you… why did you leave me there?” 

“I didnt want to, but… but I couldnt afford to keep you around either.” Her mother pulled back and gave Cinder a warm smile as she wiped away a few tears. “I couldnt give you the life that you deserved, so I left you at the orphanage so someone else could give you that opportunity. I only wanted the best for you.” 

Cinder slowly frowned as she pulled away from her mother as she held back her maiden powers from manifesting. “The life I deserved?! You left me with a matron that would beat me if I so much as tried to defend myself! And then when I was finally adopted, I was treated like a slave, a collar put around my neck to shock me every time I did something she didnt approve of!” She pulled down the collar of her shirt to show the scarring from the shock collar. She panted in anger as a few tears rolled down her cheeks, her frown softening a bit as she watched her mother slowly reach out for the scars and quietly spoke. 

“I’m sorry.” 

Cinder went quiet and her body relaxed as she hid her scars again, caught off guard by those two little words. “I’m sorry” ran through her mind over and over as she felt a few more tears run down her cheeks, her legs shook as she stared at her mother. And yet, no matter how angry she had wanted to be, that anger faded away. Her words stayed caught in the back of her throat for what almost felt like an eternity. “C-Cinder.” 

Her mother looked at her curiously. “What was that?” 

“Cinder. I go by Cinder now.” 

“Cinder. Its a pretty name.” 

“Thanks…” Cinder wiped away her tears and sighed. “I should get going-” 

“Why not come home with me for dinner? I’m sure your father would want to get to know his daughter just as much as I do.” 

Cinder stopped mid step as she turned to look at her mother, almost surprised that she’d ask her to join her for a meal. Though, what surprised her the most was the answer that left her lips without even a second thought. “I’d love to.” 

Her mother smiled and reached for her hand. “We have a small apartment here in Atlas until we can get everything moved over from Mistral. Its a bit small, but we can fit you for dinner as long as you’re not too busy.” 

Cinder pulled back for a moment as she looked at her mother’s hand, then looked behind her towards Neo as she hesitated, almost hoping that her partner would be able to save her. Then, as she watched Neo disappear for a moment, she took her mother’s hand and nodded. “I’m sure it’ll be fine. It’ll only be for an hour or two, right?” 

“Unless you want to stay longer.”

I recently saw this and besides how accurate it is, I need us talk about how Kagi is heavily k-pop idol coded.

Here he was drawn in the same way people draw idols such as JK or Chan and who more to be cute but also ripped than a kpop boy?

Having said that, my friend and I came with the headcanons that he envies kpop idols' bodies so he ends up copying their exercise routines.

How did he come to discover kpop you ask? Niibashi, ofc. And yeah Niibashi is more of a girl group stan but he was watching random choreographies to practice anatomy (since he's a member of the art club)

Viktor and Blitzcrank

Special thanks to @valiantthearts for the idea

// Due to the complete rewrite of Viktor's story in League of Legends, his more in-depth past has been eradicated. Including the creation of Blitzcrank - a fellow champion in the game.

// I'm not having it! 😂 I love the idea of inventor and invention, and how they share a rather interesting, almost human connection between them. I will be going over my headcanon's for Viktor's past heavily inspired by his old lore - because I still think it's important to remember who League-Viktor was before Arcane changed him almost entirely. I will write a full timeline for him soon!

// I'll be using direct references from League (thanks wayback machine) and some images too. I'll put it under the cut though because I'll probably ramble.

Viktor wasn't discovered by Piltovian scientists until he was nineteen (by Stanwick in his old lore, now Heimerdinger in new lore) - so what did he do before that to catch their eyes?

According to his old lore, Viktor was very keen on helping the workforces of Zaun to avoid accidents/deaths in dangerous environments. Further into this lore, it states that after the Chem-forge gave him a chance, he had lowered the accident rates to 0% within a month thanks to his inventions. This caught the eye of other businesses that also started to request his aid.

Always keen to expand on his abilities and now having a chance to make a real difference to the people of Zaun, Viktor continued to create more machines and automatons to help those who needed it. As an older teen/young man, Viktor came across an old steam golem.

Golems used to be used throughout Zaun, designed to clear toxic waste and to enter environs too dangerous for people - but they largely had suffered from caustic damage and went unused.

Viktor, believing these golems could be of use again with just a tweak to their designs, managed to find help to drag the machine back to his makeshift laboratory where he worked on it tirelessly.

In the old lore, Blitzcrank was brought to life due to Hextech - named after the lightning effect Blitz gave off. Since Hextech hasn't been invented at this point in Viktor's life, Blitzcrank's improvements were purely down to Viktor's intelligence in the automaton field. Blitzcrank was programmed, but had developed their own intelligence over the weeks and months.

Viktor instructed Blitzcrank to help those who were in toxic areas - such as chemical spills or gas leaks - that would have been dangerous for others to rush into. Blitzcrank was a great success, but often couldn't understand the requests they got from Viktor or other Zaunites. Couldn't get into your home? Blitzcrank may smash down your door.

Viktor had sent Blitzcrank into a neighbourhood that was suffering - the robot soon discovered the source; a chemical runoff coming from a factory. Taking Viktor's request too far, Blitzcrank tried to rid the area of pollution by completely destroying the factory. This factory belonged to a very dangerous Chem-Baron (let's say Renata Glasc for funsies).

Viktor may not have seen Blitzcrank off - but had heard of their good deeds here and there. So had a Piltover scientist, who took a keen interest in the nineteen year old inventor that created the most dedicated, caring, hardworking Golem Zaun had ever known...

Knowing Blitzcrank would continue to learn, and continue to do good work whilst he was away, Viktor bid farewell to Zaun to further his prowess even more in the City of Progress.

okay guys gonna say it

[unauthorized-author]

The Snowbird-Scorchfur age inconsistency thing certainly exists :( Here's what I'm thinking to combat it in my pseudo-au; Ratscar and Snowbird were born in different litters. Ratscar's birth is pushed back to the end of TPB, so he can be an elder by the time of Rowanstar's leadership and serve throughout Blackstar.

(also, Snowbird somehow served under Blackstar but Ratscar didn't?? not to mention Snowbird somehow isn't an elder?!?!)

Snowbird's birth is being moved to somewhere in TNP, so by the time of PoT, she can be an apprentice. This would make her around the same as Scorchfur. This would also make it so that Snowpaw and Scorchpaw had a litter as, yk, apprentices. I would age Scorchfur up, but he actually plays a role in Rowanstar's leadership in canon, mainly criticizing him, so yeah. Kinda need him to be as old as he is, because he'll also be a Kin advocator in my AU.

So, I was thinking that Snowbird has postpartum psychosis as a result of giving birth as an apprentice. The cats can refer to it as Queen-Isolation, not as an official name, but as a "treatment" name. Probably will elaborate on this later. I'm planning to give it to a few other cats, so it wouldn't be just a one-time thing, but something seriously dangerous, and the cats understand this. Snowbird gets treated pretty early, but it permanently fucks with her personality. I should mention that Scorchfur is a bit violent here. He's blinded in one eye from a battle fought as an apprentice before he joined the Clans, and as one of the results, the eyelid is permanently drooping (similar to ptosis, and yes cats can have ptosis) and reddish. Snowbird is going to be very outgoing and outspoken about her opinions since she's kinda like that in the books unless I'm confusing her with Gullswoop, but something about Snowbird is just… off. It's like talking to a potential murderer and your gut is just screaming at you, but hey they seem nice enough! Snowbird is mindless until she isn't... if that makes sense. The lights are on but somebody IS home, they just aren't doing anything Like, she's very attentive in conversation, chiming in with her own thoughts, and doing her best to be a warrior for ShadowClan. Very typical, but something just isn't right is what I'm trying to say. I might have overexplained this bit. Anyway, Since Snowbird would be giving birth in the same book Scorchpaw showed up in canon (Eclipse), there is plenty of room for her other kits to be born since Berry, Clover, and Ripple would be born in PoT, and there's like two arcs between that and ASC (excluding DOTC), technically three arcs between PoT and CS since ASC finished up. And there's even MORE time for everyone to grow up since 15-ish books happen between Hollyleaf's Story and The Apprentice's Quest. The timeline here is still very rough, but yeah this is like an outline.

[tirsynni]

I've seen some people talk about the in-fic possibilities of Hyrule Warriors not being a canon game, but I remain fond of two thoughts:

1) that HW!Link isn't a "canon" Hero because he isn't a born Hero like most of the others or a self-created Hero like WW!Link but was a forced Hero because the Goddesses needed Cia to target the era with the only army which could defeat Cia's and needed bait to do it

and

2) that the war was born of a divine failure, of a Goddess-chosen sorceress being corrupted by their greatest enemy and the timelines being epically messed up due to it, leading to a divine mess and things being crossed and connected which never should have been.
