#✫ Headcanons (Sheshe(Canon)) ✫

[starsmuserainbow]

Some of these answered for Sheshe!

How loose is their use of the phrase ‘I love you’?

Simple answer, Sheshe very much doesn't use the phrase loosely at all. There's basically only one person having heard it before, Mimi, and she's probably going to keep being the only person too.

When do they feel the most guilt? How do they respond to it?

Guilt usually comes from when she argued with Mimi. Once the argument is over, or if it's broken up by something said in it, the guilt comes fast and if Mimi by then isn't around anymore, it can somewhat down her until she can properly apologize.

Outside of with Mimi (or, like, someone else she'd care about but as of now there's no one like that), Sheshe usually doesn't actually feel guilty. Whatever she does is done for a reason, and there's no use in feeling guilty about it.

headcanon adrien prefers weed pens, marinette prefers joints, alya prefers pipes, and nino prefers bongs. Nino seems like he would have the funkiest bong collection ever

You are completely right

Adrien mostly prefers it cause ofc super easy to hide and zero smell 😏👍

During shesh with the gang he likes to buy the highest quality of top shelf products cause fuck daddy’s money you know and it’s his way of spoiling his friends in like the best way ever

OMG the moment he finds out as chatnoir that ladybug is about that za life you KNOW he’s gifting her some weed bouquets or something stupid like that, top shelf only best for his lady

Marinette loves to smoke at night on her little balcony. She likes to keep level headed during the day, esp as ladybug, when she’s fighting, quick thinking and staying alert, all that- but at night she she found that it really helped with her anxiety, and after a few months of being kept awake at night she gave it a go. Boo ya.

I guess that would mean she would start smoking around the time she became guardian, but she wasn’t like unaware of it before all that as boom nino is prolly the pot head of the group If anything , music while high is just 100% better Imo, I love the though of him having weird ass bongs -esp Rick and north bongs like cmon that’s a iconic creation- and his parents are probably the most relaxed about it -mind you I’m saying this with zero memory of what his parents are canonically- they wouldn’t exactly like let him smoke in front of them but if they walk in and see a weird bong or two that he forgot to hide they wouldn’t ask allowing him to grow a lil collection 😌😌

Maybe Alya would get a pipe that looks like one of those old timey detective pipes, play into that journalist side but there’s just weed in there. She like mari smokes more at night wanting to be a lil more level headed while writing articles or blogs, but she wouldn’t be able to deny that she was high while making the ladyblog 😅

"Give me a character and I will tell you…" Draupadi, the Pandavas, Karna, and Duryodhana please? Also Krishna and Balarama. (please feel free to pick and choose from this wide selection; I apologise for my thinly disguised greed. :P)

(Don’t apologize! Greed is good–in this situation alone ;)

Behind the cut because this is LOOONG. 

Draupadi

* How I feel about this character

One-half of my top two favorite characters in the entire epic and obviously a best beloved.

* All the people I ship romantically with this character…In a likely unpopular opinion, I only ship Draupadi/her husbands, and, honestly my preferred version is very much without angst at having to marry all five. My!Draupadi also doesn’t really have a favorite, other than a mild wistful partiality for Arjun; but both of them know for her to be married to him alone would work better in theory than practice, and that neither would really be happy were it so.

* My non-romantic OTP for this characterTEAM KRISHNA(A) FOR LIFE.

* My unpopular opinion about this characterRupa Ganguly was the One True Draupadi *tries to look fierce, fails*.

* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.B.R. Chopra brings up the tantalizing possibility of Draupadi volunteering to ride on Arjuna’s chariot when the Pandavas and Krishna are coming up with the plan to defeat Bhishma, and though they end up going with Shikandi instead….True, my headcanon-Draupadi is no warrior, but the thought of allowing her some agency in avenging herself is wonderful.

* Something about them I consider true, even though it’s only my head canon/fanon

….Not true, necessarily, but one of the more-realistic-alternatives for Draupadi’s miraculous birth I really love is that of it representing a rebirth in the form of a oath witnessed by fire that two of Drupad’s pre-existing children took to wreak revenge on the Kurus.

Pandavas

* How I feel about this character

Five arrogant, dorky, but essentially good-hearted heroes whose best quality is perhaps their devotion to each other against all odds. (Their brotherly love survived being wagered away by their big brother without losing their temper–how, I can’t imagine.)

* All the people I ship romantically with this character

Mostly Draupadi, honestly–though also Hidimbi for Bhima, and Subhadra/Ulupi/Chitrangada for Arjuna* My non-romantic OTP for this character

I don’t know if I could choose just one, though: but their relationship with Pandu as kids and Kunti much later fascinates me, just in the way they are kept together by love for their parent. * My unpopular opinion about this character

I…actually think that, while they are flawed, my favorite versions are still likeable and sympathetic protagonists as opposed to jerks who are just as bad as their cousins. * One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

…I wish the twins had gotten seperate personalities, and even the other Pandavas more characterization to get rid of the “goody-two-shoes other than the gambling thing”/ “strong but stupid” / “insufferable Designated Hero” flanderizations you so often see. * Something about them I consider true, even though it’s only my head canon/fanon

The Year of Disguise was one of the defining episodes in their lives. Prior to this, they’re so often casteist/classist/less concerned with the sufferings of others, and the forced walk in servants’ shoes must have done so much to make them better people.

Duryodhana

* How I feel about this character

Entertaining villain, often scores one of the most entertaining and talented actors out of the casts in most adaptations. * All the people I ship romantically with this character

I’m come around to Duryodhana/Bhanumati, but Duryodhana/Karna is also a Valid ‘ship. * My non-romantic OTP for this character

Duryodhana/Karna, even otherwise. Give me a version where Duryodhana is just using an sweet-ignorant-and-innocent Karna and you have a very unhappy Avani *side-eyes Starbharat, and, even more so, Suryaputra Karn** My unpopular opinion about this character

I–truthfully, I think the most unpopular opinion is irritation at how much pop culture wants to blame Duryodhana and Shakuni for everything, where Karna and other characters are…actually mostly responsible in actual canon.  The whitewashing of all other characters while Duryodhana is ridiculously evil to the extent where you wonder why no one drowned HIM at birth, is just….illogical. So that’s my grumpiest opinion. * One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I want to know so much about how he actually was as an administrator! The only indication we have Duryodhana’s dying speech about how he was an awesome King and is going to heaven, that’s….showered with flowers by the gods and not disputed by Krishna, and it just makes me wonder. * Something about them I consider true, even though it’s only my head canon/fanon

Duryodhana was a very loving and indulgent father and brother (to Dushala), albeit a hypocritical one–despite his treatment of Draupadi and others, he insisted that the women he cared for be held to a higher standard.

Karna

* How I feel about this character

Rather more irritation than most people in the fandom, I’m afraid. * All the people I ship romantically with this character

I never really–grew up with stories of Karna/His Wife, so I don’t really ship him with Vrushali/Urvi/Supriya/other variations of this character. Truthfully, it’s pretty much Karna/Duryodhana, or nothing. * My non-romantic OTP for this character

Karna & Arjuna as good, old-fashioned mutual loathing, rather than Starbharat’s near-constant ~SECRET BROTHERS~ song, is….always amusing. B. R. Chopra (I know, I know, despite its flaws, a whole bunch of its little character moments have stuck with me) has this part during Draupadi’s swayamvar where Arjuna watches Karna string the bow and just…smirks. He seems almost genuinely pleased, because well–of course his rival would be good enough to string the bow. He would expect no less of Karna.* My unpopular opinion about this character

Though Karna admittedly suffers quite a bit, and is unfortunately affected by bigotry, a) there are other characters who suffer just as much if not more and b) in no way does that justify the suffering he inflicts on other characters. It’s the Snape conundrum all over again. * One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Look, the only fanon I reliably want from any Mahabharat adaptation is the impossible scene where Duryodhana finds out Karna’s true origins after his death and mourns. I’ve said this before, but the “you [the Pandavas] have no right to perform his last rites! Only I do! He was MY friend!” made quite the impression on baby Avani. * Something about them I consider true, even though it’s only my head canon/fanon

Like many a solar hero before him (I’m thinking Gawain/Gwalchmai from Arthurian myth in particular, but I don’t think that’s the only one), Karna’s strength waxes and wanes with the rise and fall of the sun.

Krishna

* How I feel about this character

A warning: I am admittedly biased, because Krishna is the deity dearest to my heart: but a god dedicated to doing the right thing rather than blindly obeying law and tradition, whose response to a devotee saying “I don’t understand” is not to command them to stop asking questions, but rather to explain again and again, is one that I believe in. * All the people I ship romantically with this character

Krishna/Everyone is….pretty much canon, but I have a soft spot for Krishna/Rukmini* My non-romantic OTP for this character

Krishna & Arjuna (if you don’t ship them) is certainly an option, but *points upwards* I’m Team Krishna(a) forever.* My unpopular opinion about this character

I have to hope that Krishna’s offer to Karna that Draupadi would be his is more of a bluff–or rather, a way of guilting Karna rather than a sincere prediction of what would, or even should, happen. * One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.* Something about them I consider true, even though it’s only my head canon/fanon

Krishna’s “women are unreliable, so just go ahead and kidnap my sister instead of proposing” spiel to Arjuna re:Subhadra is honestly tongue-and-cheek and largely because Subhadra begged Krishna to make Arjuna actually get a move on instead of waiting until she got married off against her will. I don’t care that it’s blatantly ignoring canon; but it’s one of the few scenes of Krishna in the Vyasa Mahabharata that don’t fit in with my understanding.  

Balarama

* How I feel about this character

I really like Balarama! I feel like he hardly ever gets any attention, and many of the interesting stories/episodes concerning him often get glossed over. * All the people I ship romantically with this character

I’ve started shipping Balarama/Revati something fierce after getting on Tumblr! But consider: she’s literally from another age entirely, and they still find each other! She’s taller and wiser and stronger than he is! They have no son, only a daughter, and he still never marries anyone else!* My non-romantic OTP for this character

Krishna & Balarama snarking at each other is always great, no matter what the adaptation. * My unpopular opinion about this character

Not unpopular, but I suppose not universally accepted: Balarama is the reincarnation of Lakshmana/Shesh Nag, because Balarama trying to enjoy getting to be the big brother in this birth while Krishna continues to be cheeky and do as he pleases is great. * One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I would have loved to hear more about Yadava politics than what we get, and definitely even more about Revati and Balarama–there’s hardly any mention of her in the Mahabharata. * Something about them I consider true, even though it’s only my head canon/fanon

Balarama and Krishna have perfected bad cop/good cop (or grumpy raging Yadava/ charming compromising Yadava) to an art. Both of them are perfectly capable of exploiting their reputations for political gain.

SHIP ASKS! this will be awesome, won't it? why do you think jimon is so popular? what is the most underrated ship, in your opinion? what’s your favorite headcanon of jagnus? what’s your favorite canon moment of jalec? favorite AU ideas for jonace? rant about malec, velondale, balec - just overall opinion or whatever? am i throwing too much of them at you at once? please dont answer that last one.

*laughs*

Kimmycup: How many of those questions can I cram into one ask…?

*clears throat*

why do you think jimon is so popular?

I… genuinely don’t know? Like, when I first dove into it, I assumed for the same reasons I love it, because canon!Simon is utterly caring, devoted and gentle and thus it is the perfect comfort ship for emotionally-wrecked!Jace.

But… somehow… the majority of the Jimon fics I’ve come across rather makes up mental problems for Simon so Jace is the one doing the comforting…? It’s a very… Simon focused ship, at least in most cases that I’ve come across, and I’m not entirely sure why exactly. It’s not that I dislike Simon. I like canon!Simon. You know, that confident dude who got himself laid repeatedly and regularly on the show, the dork who is never ashamed of talking too much.

So, my wild guess is the maths.

You have six main characters. Alec. Jace. Magnus. Isabelle. Clary. Simon.

By process of “this is canon and it shall be the golden ship that shall never be broken apart”-elimination, Magnus and Alec are out.

People like their main dish with a side of lesbians, so Isabelle and Clary are out.

And thus, we have Simon and Jace remaining as a nice, good, safe way of having everyone shipped off. I dunno. I guess.

what is the most underrated ship, in your opinion?

Underrated? Like. Of all time? You shoulda really put a fandom here to make it easier for my brain. *pouts*

I’m going wiht, since all of those are Shadowhunters, Jagnus. I mean. I read the first book and was pulled hard into it. Really don’t understand why it’s such a considerably small ship.

what’s your favorite headcanon of jagnus?

Okay, so, this my most BDSM ship in the fandom. I just headcanon dom!Magnus and sub!Jace so hard and so far, I’ve not found another character who gives off the same kind of perfect dom-vibes as Magnus. I really love playing up their sexuality. While I turn my Jimons into fluffy fluff-pieces most of the time, Jagnus is filled with the sexual tension. I seem to have this headcanon that they start out with sex, lots of it, and only then start developing feelings for wach other.

Which is rare for me, because I don’t believe in one-night-stands. I find the notion of having sex without any attachment of feelings absolutely disgusting. So, I… usually don’t write that kind of thing. But with both of them and their respective sexual history, they click so perfectly in that and then, once they allow themselves to get closer to the other, they share their tragic pasts.

what’s your favorite canon moment of jalec?

“Hey, so, who’s your favorite child?” *glares at you*

Cheating and saying “all of them” is not allowed, huh…?

Mh. Okay. So. Let me take the one that got me hooked. When Jace and Alec do their first parabatai magic, standing so close, holding each other’s hands, getting lost in each other’s eyes, prominently showing the size-difference between them and Clary in the background commenting “This parabatai-thing seems awfully intimate”.

favorite AU ideas for jonace?

Shesh. Asking about ships I’m still exploring myself…

Okay, so part of me is really yearning for a happy mortal AU where the Lightwoods and the Garroways (Clary and Jonathan) grow up close with each other.

But with the two of them I also want to go full blood. Angel!Jace and demon!Jonathan. I love the whole theme of a demon corrupting an angel.

rant about malec, velondale, balec - just overall opinion or whatever?

Oi, woman. Oi.

Ranting about Malec doesn’t seem like a good idea because I genuinely don’t have a lot of good to say about them. I mean, in the books they start off with centuries old Magnus hitting on seventeen year old Alec and just no. In the show, it’s a mess of Alec still being in love with Jace and in the closet and centuries old Magnus being willing to take that risk. Everyone who has talked to me about Shadowhunters knows how much I loathe the Malec-episode for its bullshit rom-com public coming out wedding crashing plot that was written by a thirteen-year old fangirl in the 90s high on chick flicks… And it did not get better when season 2B can essentially be summed up as “they didn’t communicate. At all”. This… this ship, in canon, is a fucking mess. And I don’t like messes. I don’t like public grand gesture bullshit that doesn’t regard anyone else and I do not like couples who can’t even communicate with each other and where one constantly feels the need to forgive the other. I don’t like unhealthy relationships and by season 2B, Malec has become an unhealthy relationship of apologies, miscommunications and clear distrust. I still wish they wouldn’t have gotten back together in the finale so the writers could actually take their time and develop them into a healthy, functioning relationship. Have them rekindle slowly, have them earn each other’s trust back. Magnus fucking sided with the psycho bitch queen, Alec should not have just blindly forgiven that and taken him back, fuck every lie Alec told before, this one beat it all. The show is so busy rushing the ship to pacify its fans that the relationship isn’t fully developed in a proper, healthy way and it’s starting to piss me off big time. It’s actually the main reason I haven’t written Malace in a while, because the Malec aspect has just been getting on my nerves so much that I went into Jagnus and Jalec respectively, because as of right now I just really can’t even.

Yeeeah. You asked for it. *ducks head and goes hide before the pitchforks come flying in*

Velondale. Oh, beautiful, fluffy, healthy relationship. Same goes for Balec. I love the idea of Bat as an attentive, patient boyfriend who takes care of the person he loves.

I need fluffy comfort ships for Jace and as might have become obvious in the little pseudo-rant above about Jimon, that is currently not it. So Velondale. Not to mention the pretty picture of a fluffy werewolf and an angel.

Balec. I’m still weirded out by the attachment I have developed for it because I usually don’t get too invested in “side ships”. But… as might have become obvious in the rant above about Malec, I think that that couple was too rushed. Alec was still in the closet and he should not have been forced out of it during the wedding. I love the idea of that just not happening and Alec getting the proper time to get over Jace and to settle with being gay, before he finds someone to be with. So, Jagnus fics really make it easy to then inevitably give Alec this time to settle with who he is before he finds a fluffy, caring, gentle boyfriend of his own.

am i throwing too much of them at you at once?

Yes. Yes you are. Greedy bugger. ùû

Some things answered from the Ascendant Sign Headcanons! meme!

For Sheshe I'll answer - Sagittarius Rising What is your muse’s dream job? If they had to give up a prized possession, which would it be? Do they treat others the way they want to be treated?

Dream job, hah, good one. I mean, Ruler of the Seas would be it probably, together with Mimi. At least over one of the Seas, though she - they - probably also wouldn't mind all of them. If we assume a verse where they aren't bad anymore or maybe something like "turned human" or something, I'm honestly not sure. It'd probably be cool as long as she could do it together with Mimi. Obvious thing to name here would of course be become a famous singer-duo.

I think her most prized possessions would be things she got from Mimi. Unless we assume there's some form of object that either is the thing why she (or they) are humanoid now, or something like the mermaid pearls which bring a lot of power. Those would also be very prized posessions. I think, she would be more willingly give up on a possession that is something she got from Mimi (as difficult as doing that might be), mostly because they would still have each other and she could always 'get something new' - them being humanoid or having a lot of power is not as easily to get back.

As for the third question - quite honestly, no. She treats Mimi well, so with her yes, but outside of that? Sheshe isn't all that nice to people. She doesn't exactly expect being treated good either, but what she would want is of course different than that. Who doesn't want to be treated decently even by strangers? But yeah, like said, she certainly doesn't do it for/with others.
