My collection of headcanons on Henry

⊱─━━━━━━⊱༻♱༺⊰━━━━━━─⊰

Headcanons based on canonical facts or close to the canon

• Henry goes to church every Sunday, which indicates that he is a devout Catholic. He criticizes Joe for not going to church, pointing out a disdainful attitude towards Barbaro's lifestyle. In addition, he immediately recognizes the line from the Bible quoted by Bruno: "Exodus, Chapter 22. Verse 24." Most likely, Tomasino takes religious rituals and traditions quite seriously.

Reference: The 12th chapter of "Mafia 2"

• Henry most likely has autistic traits/symptoms. He has a poor understanding of emotional reactions, is physically more susceptible to injury, and his constant irritability is more likely due to sensory overload. Has difficulty communicating: may not understand some jokes or sarcasm. This leads to misunderstandings, as if he takes everything "head-on" and "seriously." Tomasino also has problems expressing feelings: he often looks indifferent, although he experiences strong feelings. His speech is quite poor, it is clearly seen when Vito asked him and asked where he was from. His answers are so monosyllabic, as if answering an answering machine or rehearsed in advance.

Naturally, he would not even have suspected such a peculiarity of thinking, although if he had found out exactly what was wrong, he would hardly have been thrilled.

Reference: 3rd chapter "Mafia 2", 11th chapter "Mafia 2"

• Henry is reserved and has few friends. Maybe he didn't understand the concept of "friendship" until he met Vito and Joe. He told Vito that friendship was not appropriate in a criminal environment (Similar to what Sam from the first mafia said), but unlike Sam, Tomasino still tried to keep in touch with Scaletta and Barbaro, and also kept his promise not to kill Leo Galante. This further proves that with more screentime, Henry would gradually understand not only friendship, but also gradually trust both of them.

Reference: The 11th chapter of "Mafia 2"

• According to Frankie Potts' files, he has several registered addresses, but mostly he lives at the Empire Arms Hotel. In fact, this is a strange detail, because why would he stay in a hotel if he already has a house? Personally, I think it shows him, on the contrary, as not quite an economic person. Usually, the price of the hotel also includes cleaning and linen change procedures, breakfast and other services. Most likely, Henry registered these addresses to deflect suspicion from himself, because permanently staying in a hotel without a "home" would raise questions.

Reference: Frankie Potts' dossier on Henry (by the way, his whole family and date of birth are also listed there)

• Rather, Henry grew up in a very isolated society. Upon arriving in Empire Bay, he came under the protection of family friend and ruthless mafia boss Alberto Clemente. Now, as a full-fledged member of the Clemente family, he was considered a loyal soldier and a respected killer. He's good at negotiating, but he doesn't have much contact about personal matters outside of work. His connections with people are based only on certain goals, deep or friendly as such — he probably doesn't even know. Perhaps they didn't pay enough attention to him in his own family, and his father only "helped" one of his sons with connections. He rarely and little speaks about the Tomasino family as a whole, even about his wife he was silent. The only family member he mentioned was his father.

In fact, Henry's attitude towards the Clemente family is not the most pleasant. When he informed Vito that Clemente was now dead, he showed no sympathy and confessed his indifference to the former boss of the crime family. Most likely, many of the guys in Clemente's family disliked him from the very moment he arrived, because they believed that he was receiving privileged treatment and that his success was not deserved (his father got him a job and the like). Besides, most of them grew up in poverty, while he didn't know about it. They perceive Henry as a spoiled young man, which did not improve the situation, because Tomasino himself behaved aloof.

Headcanons that complement his personality

• Henry doesn't know much about technology. He doesn't really recognize the new, although if necessary, overstepping himself, he would still register in some social network. I would go with the same phone, even if it was outdated. At the same time, he would complain about the performance of his own phone (I wonder why?).

• Besides English, Tomasino studied French because his wife was originally from France. However, after her death, he stopped even listening to songs in French and generally speaking it, because it constantly reminded him of her. By the way, it's interesting that "Bettina" translates as "My God is a vow Dedicated to God." It's quite ironic, knowing that Henry is a Catholic.

• Has the skills to play the organ and the violin. In his youth, he attended music school and went to church every Sunday, where he participated in the choir. He can sing a little bit, although he doesn't particularly like this activity.

• Prefers classical music more. But if he lived in "our time", he would listen to Depeche Mode, London After Midnight, IAMX, soap&skin, Electrophoresis(Электрофорез), Grad!ent, And One, Fish in a birdcage, and some gothic music.

• Is a big fan of theatrical art. He would occupy the most luxurious seats, criticize everyone who did not follow the dress code (although there is no such thing in theaters). He himself is unlikely to perform on stage, but watching the "show" is always not against it.

• Henry has a weakness for cats. Although he didn't start them himself, but after making sure that no one was watching him, he would secretly pat one of them on the head and maybe even try to feed her. Being a closed person, he will hide this, but sooner or later he may admit it himself.

• He has a whole collection of ties with different prints. They're all made of expensive materials and he won't let anyone touch them. Especially Joe. Once, he nevertheless touched one of Tomasino's ties, and after that he would not allow anyone to "touch" his things.

• If he had survived the attack by the Chinese from the Empire Bay Triad, his health would have deteriorated greatly. Yes, it wasn't perfect from the very beginning, especially after the "hole" in his leg, but this case would have finished Henry off both mentally and physically. Most likely, a huge scar would remain on his right eye for life, and his eyesight would deteriorate. Because of this, he would wear glasses and recover for a long time. He would also walk with a cane because of his eye and injured leg. His pain threshold is much lower than that of Vito, whom Joe describes as "tenacious" and that he does not need to go to Dr. El Greco.

In fact, he hates the treatment process, and even after staying with El Greco, he felt like he was in a cage. Tomasino hates the concept of "diseases", considering how he reacted to the pain in his leg.

• He is quite fastidious in food and drinks, preferring red wine, refined and expensive, rather than its cheap counterpart. Therefore, because of this, he can spend hours studying the menu. This caution, this preferred choice, does not allow him to go beyond the ordinary; he does not like to try new tastes. He finds solace in the familiar, in what has already established itself as the highest manifestation of culinary art. That is why Henry chooses only what makes up the golden moments on his table: all the best, high-quality and delicious, which only suits his exquisite taste.

• He would be the kind of friend who has everything he needs with him, from money to a whole first—aid kit. This is due to the fact that Tomasino is used to planning ahead, therefore he takes into account the possible consequences. Although when something doesn't go the way he thinks, he breaks down quite easily. He's so irritable by himself, even though he tries not to show it (he's not doing well). He might have taken some medications or sedatives himself to control it.

× | That's all. I will be waiting for your feedback and thoughts about it all. I hope you enjoyed it. I want to add here a couple of songs that are associated with him. So...yeah. | ×

[fountainpenguin]

Do you think all 4 of Butch Hartman's shows (The Fairly OddParents!, Danny Phantom, T.U.F.F. Puppy, and Bunsen Is A Beast) all take place in the same universe?

Depends on my mood.We saw in “Opportunity” that FOP, DP, and BIaB do seem to be canon in the Prompts to some degree. Basically, I mash the Hartman shows together (excluding “T.U.F.F. Puppy”, which falls under the genre of alternate Earth rather than contemporary fantasy and therefore doesn’t fit), but I make no attempt to explain any inconsistencies, like why godkids don’t solve Ghost-related problems by wishing.

Sometimes I lean more towards what we saw in “Power Hour” with Jimmy and Timmy existing in separate universes that are still very similar. The Hartman universes could be portrayed like that, but due to similar art styles, the transition between worlds is simple. There’s an upcoming Prompt called “Saving Grace” that lightly brushes this topic where Nega-Timmy and Croissant Head Evil Jimmy bump into each other on Unwish Island after Evil Jimmy pulled a universe jump to escape the collapse of his world in “The Trouble With Clones”. Oh, those two. It’s pretty clear who wears the lab coat in that relationship.

Sometimes I imagine there’s just an FOP universe where Fairies are the main supernatural force and there are no Ghosts or Beasts at all, and vis versa. Different universes. That explains the “Why don’t godkids interfere with Ghosts?” and “Why can humans know about Beasts but not Fairies?” questions, but it’s less fun.

Whether the shows exist together or not is one of those things I play with and vary sometimes, like how sometimes I treat Foop’s dissociative identity disorder more seriously (The other personality is “asleep” when the other is out and loses awareness of the world) and sometimes I treat it closer to what we see in show canon (They’re both aware of the world and talk to each other). The whole concept is just kinda… malleable that way. Think of it like I’m cameoing other shows rather than 100% confirming they exist together in full.

But, one of the reasons I fell in love with the Pixies is because they canonically exist and make all my dreams of crossovers and politics possible. If they weren’t here, then I just would have invented my own company in the FOP world that manages all the paperwork that comes along with jumping universes.

For the purposes of my fanfics, it’s safe to say that BIaB and FOP both exist in the same universe in my works without much disruption. “Gravity Falls” and “Star vs. The Forces of Evil” do too. So does “ChalkZone”… I’ve got a bunch of CZ pieces I’d like to finish and post. Cramming DP canon in there is always trickiest, but since it doesn’t come up much, it’s not really a problem.

As it stands right now, the “official, long-term” canon of my works is, “many cartoon ‘verses coexist in the same universe, but any inconsistencies are smudged over so that things that don’t line up in one universe are just treated as rumors instead of hard fact.” Jimmy Neutron and aliens? Weirdmageddon? Meh.

Rudy Tabootie is confirmed to attend Chester A. Arthur Middle School, which if I remember correctly is also the school Charles Darwin Middle played football against in one of the earliest “Gym Partner” episodes, so if I were to write fanfics about them, it’s the same school. I was gonna draw a bunch of cartoon boys engaged in their respective sports a long time ago (Timmy = soccer, Mikey = hockey, Adam = football, Danny = the Ravens mascot probably or maybe some Ghost sport), and Rudy made posters and banners and cheered for everyone. I just didn’t get around to doing so.

Also, Linzie and I made it a thing that Timmy and Rudy are pen pals as a joke and then it just kind of stuck.

FOP is a show in the Total Drama universe and Total Drama is a show in the FOP universe, as we have previously seen in “LARP Around the Clock Tonight” and “Back In Action” I need to finish “Lions” it’s over a hundred pages long in my files but I got distracted by Fairies goshdangit. It’s actually a running joke in my works that Topher is a massive FOP nerd and he keeps making pixie references. And, you may remember that Sanderson was allegedly born on Hole 10 of a certain golf course as we saw in “Baby, You’re a Rich Man”. Hole 10 of the course where Leonard, Tammy, and Topher were playing LARP mini-golf in “The Lyin’, The Rich, and the Warzone” looks identical to it. So just. Cameos.

… “Lyin’ Queen” hasn’t been going anywhere, so maybe I’ll just keep it on hiatus and finish “Beatin’ Path” and “Lions Under Palm Trees” instead, because honestly writing a protagonist who is not a canon compulsive liar would be swell. And the first chapter of “Beatin’ Path” kinda needs to be alllll redone because it makes me cringe.

I love Topher. The monster. Literally the smoothest straight-up manipulator to ever grace the cartoon world I still can’t believe he’s canon he’s amazing.

Oh my gosh, I need to get back to “Lions” very badly I just remembered how good it gets. Leonard is problematic and savage and delusional. Tammy is precious. Topher is a boss. The Adversity Twins are there and they’re Milo Murphy’s cousins because of course they are. Dwayne Junior is going through cartoon physics puberty. Leonard and Topher getting into a huge fight about metal being a weakness for fairies and Topher threatening to LARP a Mary Sue if Leonard doesn’t let him be a fairy blacksmith. Leonard thinking Tom and Jen are avatars for their creators. Leonard convinced that Ezekiel who went feral during Season 3 is his familiar. TOPHER! I… I miss my other children a lot!

I’m sorry. That wasn’t your question. Nostalgia.

Oh. Also, Showtown and Skatoony are still 100% a thing and that Fourth Wall religion from my TD works exists in every universe I write. You can’t stop me.

So that’s that. There’s also Diderot’s Court AU if you wanna take that messy plunge, but no one ever does. Which is a goshdarn shame, because I wrote some lovely scenes of Amanda Killman and Lincoln Loud bickering while Bruno the Kid tries to force a compromise out of them as he drags them up to the top of the Fourth Wall, but I guess those are just for me now. Ah, well.
