#mama tohomiko

If they got to meet (and pretend Hai and Fei weren't dead), how would the parents of the dragons get along?

Hai and Fei, Daddy Baily and Mama Bailey, Toshiro Tohomiko and Mama Tohomiko. Like, if they all met at a parent-teacher conference with Fung or something.

I headcanon that Mama Tohomiko isn't alive in present day either, but we'll go with the assumption that she is, and hypothetically include Raimundo's parents too.

I feel like while Mama Bailey and Tohomiko would get along swimmingly, Daddy Bailey wouldn't think very highly of Toshiro even though Toshiro thinks he's a neat guy. Toshiro is a businessman, which is respectable, but he's also a city man and an inventor at that, and I don't know that Daddy would be altogether too impressed by a man who spends most of his time playing with toys and inventing games for children.

Given how Raimundo is, and how he implies he has a large family with pretty laid back parents, I don't know that Daddy Bailey would get along very well with them either. Seems like he wouldn't very much approve of a big rowdy family without a lot of discipline.

I think Toshiro and Mama Tohomiko would get along well with Raimundo's parents, though. Toshiro seems like the type that would treat anyone with respect no matter what their background, which would probably go over well with Raimundo's parents. Plus Toshiro loves kids, and given Raimundo seems to have a lot of siblings and cousins, he and Mrs Tohomiko would probably be thrilled to see such a big happy family.

Honestly I don't see Hai and Fei getting along badly with any of the other sets of parents either.

Hai and Fei aren't ranchers like the Baileys, but they do raise their own animals and grow some of their own food, so that would probably earn them some respect from a salt of the earth type like Daddy Bailey, and Mama Bailey likes the sound of their peaceful sort of life. Hai and Fei having such a big family themselves they'd probably get along with the Pedrosa parents, too, all the people they know would make them feel right at home. And Toshiro and Mama Tohomiko would get along swimmingly with the couple; the Tohomikos would be fascinated by their lifestyle being so traditional, and Hai and Fei would be amazed to see what kinds of technological advancements are in the modern world, especially with all the stuff Mr Tohomiko had a hand in developing.

i could write an essay on grief and the tohomiko family and the three way dynamic between the living tohomikos and how it's all probably very messy tbh

Please give us some of your headcannons, all your posts are amazing!!!!

Just some random misc. Xiaolin Showdown headcanons? 

Omi and Chase both have a huge sweet tooth, but most of the fallen warriors don’t share that trait, especially to the extent that Omi and Chase do. Some of them prefer heartier things, some just dislike less saccharine tastes in general. The warrior who comes closest is the Samurai.

Chase gushes about Omi to the warriors whenever he’s not gushing about them to Wuya, and the warriors have each come to have varying levels of interests in Omi, and some have almost as much of a soft spot for Omi as Chase does himself.

Guan comes from a military family back in the day, and designed his signature weapon himself.

Omi is multilingual and can speak all of his friends’ native languages and then some, but he’s got that same formality and clumsiness in every language he knows. He’s even sort of clumsy when trying to be informal in his mother tongue, because he learned so much from ancient scrolls.

Omi regularly sneaks into Chase’s lair just to hang out sometimes on days when there are no missions or Shen Gong Wu. He’s the only person Chase would happily allow to do that.

Kimiko’s best friend Keiko loves making clothes and accessories, and that she's the one who makes most of Kimiko's outfits. She dresses pretty plainly herself, but she's a master seamstress, and she and Kimiko still design outfits together even now that they’re far apart. She loves taking photos and videos of Kimiko modeling her newest outfits. Growing up, they started with making outfits for their dolls and playing with their hairstyles, sometimes with pretty tacky results, but they grew into their fashion skills pretty well. Kimiko’s dad bought Kimiko lots of toys, but his style in clothes for her has always been too traditional for Kimiko’s taste, so most of Kimiko’s clothes come from Keiko.

Keiko is big into the occult and legends (some of which of been directly influenced by Dashi’s travels in Japan, unbeknownst to them), so while some other kids were very offput and scared of Kimiko after her first fiery outburst, Keiko thought it was the coolest thing ever. 

Keiko works as a miko part-time, although she and Kimiko agree that the outfit is a bit too plain and traditional for their tastes. 

Keiko and Kimiko were each other’s first kiss, back in grade school.

Clay refers to his mother as “Momma Bailey”. She’s hard-working and headstrong, a great cook and an even better shot. They’d worked together as farmhands on her daddy’s farm and alternated between flirting and butting heads. The family farm was inherited from her side of the family. She and Daddy Bailey had a literal shotgun wedding once they could out she was pregnant with Clay. They’re still married, but they separated after Jesse ran away from home when she learned Clay was accepted into “monk school”.

Clay was very bookish and nerdy in school. Even though all the sports teams were dying to recruit him, he would have been more inclined to join the chess club. It was a moot point though, since Clay had too many responsibilities at home to ever have time for a club. Jesse wasn’t as good at Clay in classes or with sports, and it bothered her being compared to him both at home and at school when her big brother always seemed so perfect to her.

Jesse became the leader of the Black Vipers by beating them all 1-v-3 in hand-to-hand combat. They had a tendency of running off new people who took control of them this way because despite that being their rule, that doesn’t endear them to their new leader in any way. But Jesse has personally earned a lot of respect and comradery with the girls. 

Jesse and Belle are very obviously crushing on each other, but neither has come out and said it yet. They have even kissed once in the heat of the moment, but both are still somehow in that will-they-or-won’t-they phase.

Raimundo trained in capoeira back home. He comes from a big family and a lot of siblings, and he’s somewhere in the middle, with a lot of younger siblings to look after and a lot of older siblings to look after him. He’s not used to having his own space, so his cubby at the temple is more personal space than he’s used to not having to share, but he’s also used to a lot of fun hustle and bustle, a lot of stuff to keep him occupied, and so many siblings that were just as big troublemakers and pranksters as him that they could often get away with pulling stuff and no one knowing which of them was a fault, which got him out of having to deal with a lot of culpability or punishment. A few of his siblings are already working adults and he even has a few very young nephews and nieces already, but they all still live together or at least in close contact.
