#dancestor headcanons

[luminousbravery]

Greetings I want to request a Kankri coffee date headcanons maybe. I am a big hot chocolate enjoyer and I think that Kankri is a fan of coffee if that makes sense. Mayhaps when the reader listens to his monologue and is fascinated?? Physical contact/kissing maybe with consent? ^^ It would be really cool if that would be a fanfiction but I'm fine with headcanons too!!!!!

aaah i didn't realize you wanted a fic until i finished the headcanons!! but uhm i still hope you enjoy???

Kankri takes the Reader on a coffee date

Okay, so, Kankri would definitely have just an itty bitty slight coffee addicton?

Trust me, he'd be the first to admit that it's bad for him, but he can't help but indulge himself a little.

One day, he gets the bright idea to just take you to a coffee shop.

He completely understands if you're not a coffee person, though.

So he does his research to find a shop that'll offer more than just coffee.

And, during the date, he'll definitely like to hold your hand.

He isn't a huge PDA guy, though, so don't expect much more than kisses on the cheek, haha...

In moderation, of course.

He ends up enjoying the date a lot, though. So expect him to want to take you on a lot more dates like this in the future.

I don’t have a lot of humanstuck headcanons, mainly because a lot of “What if the trolls were human?!?!?!” headcanons are unanimously agreed upon and I don’t want to interfere with them.

But I have never seen Hebrew Kankri before and it’s kind of surprising because…he’s literally troll Jesus?

I understand that race headcanons are usually because certain characters are race-coded (Ex. Gamzee and Meenah) or that people really enjoy a character and “Making this character more similar to me is fun!” But I just genuinely think that being Hebrew would fit a humanstuck Kankri thematically.

Of course, always have fun with headcanons and don’t let my personal headcanon dissuade you from headcanoning what you personally believe. I just like to vocalize my thoughts a lot and I have a habit of making defenses for things that don’t really need defenses. (Thanks 2020 Danganronpa fandom.)

I've certainly seen at least a few people headcanon that the dreambubbles have affected the dancestors behavior in some way, but I haven't seen any attempts at actually explaining how it could have possibly worked, so I've figured out I'd share my own theory.

Quick but necessary disclaimer first, though: none of this is canon. I'd say I'm being quite charitable here even calling it a theory, when in reality it's more like an AU. So by no means assume it's a hard rule or a definite explanation of what's going on. Personally, I see it as a bit of a cheat code that leaves me a lot of free room to write the dancestors closer to how I would've wanted them to be written, hence I'm sharing in case somebody wants to do a similar thing without truly contradicting the information we have in the source material. 

To start with, we can kind of scratch the idea that the dreambubbles prevent you from changing right off the bat, as we see at least three different characters go through some character development in spite of being dead and stuck there (Meenah, Aranea, Vriska). You could probably make it work if you really, really wanted that, but it doesn't seem all that plausible. 

So, if the issue isn't that you cannot change, perhaps the issue is that you change too much.

Let's start from the beginning - how do the dreambubbles work? Well, they allow for the ghosts to continue existing, as well as for the dreamers to wake up in there and interact with them or each other. How does the awakening happen, whether for the dead or the sleeping?

Through a memory.

Examples I can think of are:

1 - dead - doomed!Dave, playing a game, still in his triangular shades, until Aradia starts trolling him and eventually he realizes this is not actually real, so both his surroundings as well as appearance change to match what he remembers, until he reaches the realization that he is, in fact, dead, and blood appears on his body, too.

2 - sleeping - Terezi goes through a memory of her conversation with Vriska after she'd blinded her, and it takes her a moment to realize something is wrong, as well as that the person she was talking with wasn't even Vriska, but Aranea instead; it's more or less then, that her surroundings change.

In other words, one of the main pillars of the dreambubbles are memories.

But the thing is, memories are quite subjective and heavily influenced by the way we perceive things. So, if we assume that the perception of an event can affect the surroundings as well as your appearance and state (eg. dead!Eridan who still has his eyes, as he apparently hasn't realized he's dead), wouldn't it be possible for the perception of a person to affect their behavior?

The way I imagine it working is essentially a positive feedback loop. Regardless of whether it was true or not, from your perspective the person you interact with was a self-absorbed asshole who looked down on everybody, and tried to sound smart and objective when in reality they were just insulting everybody and to make themselves look better in comparison. 

It's possible you weren't the only person who thought that way or thought something similar (and there were already thousands of yous) and in the same manner the surroundings were adjusting to your thoughts, the person in front of you was also changing slightly to fit better the subconscious description you've had for them in your mind.

What if the person was a bit of a shameless flirt? Maybe they weren't all that serious about it, but you've always got the impression that all they've ever wanted to do is get into other people's pants. Or they were really passionate about horses, to the point where you've seriously thought it was all they cared about, hell, maybe they should've just been hatched as a fucking horse! Or they really loved to talk about shipping, as if nothing else was more important. Or in reverse, you've always seen that person as level-headed and respectable, in spite of them being actually pretty head-strong and at times just genuinely shitty. Or you've seen somebody as cool and assertive, when in reality they were extremely insecure and conflict-averse.

The more you see these people that way, the more their personalities shift to fit these descriptions, and the more they shift, the more confirmation you get about them being like you've always thought them to be, which ends up making these perceptions even stronger, and makes them behave even stronger in that specific way, which once again validates your perception of them, and… And it just keeps happening. 

Personally, I don't consider this to be a completely unavoidable process, especially when you're aware of this happening. But the real question is, is there actually a point? The dancestors have spent an eternity in the dreambubbles, surrounded by thousands of other versions of themselves, affected by all these various versions of each other. It's got to get tiring at some point to just remain so vigilant in differentiating your own thought patterns from what is something you wouldn't have actually thought in your right might. It's just… too much effort. Who even cares what becomes of you? Your world is gone, everybody around you is dead and just as tired of it all. Why bother?

Or in case you still want to retain the clarity of your mind, but without all that conscious effort, the only other option is to get as far from people as possible. The less ghosts around you, the less perceptions to affect you. That could explain how Meenah is… pretty normal, after staying away from everybody in the memory of her hive for however long she was there.

To sum it up, the dreambubbles are essentially the place where believing in something makes it less and less fake until it becomes real.

Transfem Latula headcanon because I say so 🏳️‍⚧️

[meunin]

does she pray? if she prays, who taught her too, was it kurloz? if it was kurloz, who taught him. etc etc onward and upward you get the idea

[inatyzzy]

ok so concept:

on beforus, trolls that were culled were adopted and coddled by trolls from either cobalt-violet blood yeah?

and we all can pretty much agree kankri was culled right?

so imagine if (going off my limited rememory of culling knowledge) kankri was assigned to a violet blooded guardian (makes no sense, but this is a funny idea so give me suspension of disbelief).

violet blood lives on land but beside ocean. so thanks to beforun culling culture, kankri is pretty much forced to wear those little fuckin arm floaty water wings every time hes outside the hive because obviously a mutant blood could never handle being able to swim

edit: i drew it
