dethcanons - Tumblr blog

With the current tumblr environment I feel this isn’t a good home for dethcanons anymore. It’ll stay up for archival purposes, but this blog is coming to a close.

Wat. Of all the images you could have flagged (and in a few cases justifiably have done so) THIS is the one you flag?

There’s been quite a few that got flagged and none of them even have graphic content, this is just the most bizarre example. 

Also I have deleted a few headcanons that may get pinged under the new content rules.

Nathan and Pickles cameoed in both the Mamma Mia movies. They didn’t have any lines, they just were in the background flipping off various buildings. Dethklok fans debate on whether this means ABBA is brutal or if Dethklok is softening up too much. (If they bothered asking Nathan and Pickles, they’d shrug and say they just did it for shits and giggles, and to meet Meryl Streep.)

Pickles is an Ariana Grande fan. Of course he doesn't reveal this, though. One time, he went to one of her concerts undercover-- he claimed he heard rumors she was talking trash about Dethklok at her shows and wanted to see for himself, when really he just wanted to see/hear her sing.

Pickles’s favorite horror movie is Dead Alive (well, that’s what it’s called in the US, elsewhere it’s called Braindead). To him it’s the perfect mix of horror, grossness, and comedy and, without spoiling it for you guys, he thinks the ending is the most satisfying ending ever. Besides, it was done by the Lord of the Rings guy, so that means it’s definitely good.

Mod Note: Braindead/Dead Alive IS a good movie, but not for nothing did it once (and probably still does) hold the record for most amount of fake blood used in a movie, so if gore’s a squick or trigger, you should probably not watch it.

Dethklok stopped using opening bands after an impatient crowd rushed the stage and tore the other band apart. Literally, with their hands

Nathan spent his teenage years literally following Morbid Angel around Tampa.

He’d be at every gig without fail, even on school nights. The band thought he was some really quiet, really weird obsessed fan until they see him being interviewed years later and he credits them for inspiring him.

Toki's middle name starts with B. Everyone jokes that it's bumblebee, which is why the theme song says toki wartooth not a bumblebee

For businesses within a 20 mile radius of Mordhaus, passing by Mordhaus is an accepted, and more importantly, EXCUSED reason to be late for work.

Pickles can death drop. He typically death drops when he doesn’t get his way and wants to be especially petulant about it. There have been numerous instances of him not being able to get up afterwards, either.

Toki can't write in English and can probably barely read it either. He wrote the lyrics to face fisted, hence the horrible grammar.

Pickles still has a ton of clothes from his glam days and occasionally will wear it. It's still a shock to the band to randomly see pickles wearing a crop top and tight pants

“The Cyborg Slayers” was written under the influence of marijuana.

Pickles would never have children. He has nothing against them, he’s just too afraid if he had his own kids he’d turn out just like Calvert and doesn’t want to take that risk.

Offdensen’s favorite movie is Trading Places.

There’s a great debate within the fanbase about Pickles’ Birthday

It started as a joke when he was in Snakes n’ Barrels that his birthday was St. Patrick’s Day because, y'know, he’s an Irish alcoholic. It just kinda stuck even after SnB broke up, so even now lots of people celebrate Pickles’ birthday on March 17th every year, resulting in more than a few deaths by alcohol poisoning. His birthday is actually April 10th, a fact that no one outside Mordhaus really knows or cares about.

Ishnifus Meaddle visited each member of Dethklok’s family before they were born and told them all about the prophecy. As a result it had an impact on each band member’s life.

Toki’s family were religious so naturally they thought he was evil or a demon, which explains the horrific abuse.

Skwisgaar’s mom figured her son would be destined for greatness in some way but since she didn’t know who his father was, she didn’t really believe in the prophecy. It did cause her to become somewhat wary of her son, and she goes out of her way to not really form a strong bond with him.

Murderface’s dad doesn’t believe in the prophecy but his mom does. They get into a drunken fight over it one night after William was born and the murder-suicide happens. Stella and Thunderbolt never find out the real reason behind it.

Pickles’ parents take this to mean that he’s illegitimate or a bastard somehow (this is a whole other headcanon but I do think he’s the product of an affair), which is why they favor Seth so heavily over Pickles.

Nathan’s parents had the most normal reaction. They don’t know if it’s true or the ramblings of a crazy old man, but whatever happens they will love and support their son.
