#name headcanon

Here's a completely random swap au thats thoroughly thought out of!!!

(this au was a definite excuse to make the blue jay emo)

[tabl3]

excerpt from the new chapter:

Kaz scooted down the bed, raising his eyebrow in question. Chase nodded. Kaz took his foot into his lap, beginning to massage it. “Talk to me.”

“About what?” Chase flapped the too-big sleeves in one of his stims that Kaz loved.

“Anything,” Kaz shrugged.

“Chase isn’t my name.”

“Cool,” Kaz froze. “Wait- woah- HUH?”

Chase snickered, piling up pillows behind him to sit comfortably. “It’s a nickname. My full name is Chasen.”

“Like the whisk?”

“No, it means huntsman- y’know what, yes Kaz, I named myself after a whisk.”

[btw most of these headcanon names are based on this theory post about the 4 Collectors. Pls read it, it's very good]

since it's been confirmed that there are multiple Collectors, what are y'alls headcanon names for each of them?

I know some people call baby Collector 'Colly', but maybe we could come up with more appropriate names for them?

I thought of 'Proxima', named after the red dwarf star that is closest to the sun. Red dwarf stars are also the smallest and coolest stars, representing how little Collector is the smallest one, and is likely the least temperamental compared to the other four Collectors.

Proxima also works since the Collector with the yellow star (which can be interpreted as a 'sun') is the one with their arm outstretched to the baby Collector, representing how close the two possibly were. (also if we name them Proxima their nickname can be 'Proxy' which is funny if u know creepypasta)

I also thought of 'Tauri', named after the T Tauri star, which is the youngest red dwarf star ever recorded. Again, representing how baby Collector is the youngest of the 5.

For the 'Moon Collector', I thought of naming them 'Leda', after the smallest moon of Jupiter, considering how they're the second youngest of the Collectors. I couldn't find what the second smallest moon of Jupiter was, so if someone knows please let me know because that will be my official hc name for them.

For the 'Yellow Star' or 'Sun Collector', I've named them 'Polaris', after the biggest star in the Ursa Minor constellation. I mostly chose this name because it sounded nice.

A more lore-related name could be 'Centaurus', after the constellation that holds the biggest yellow hypergiant star ever found. The ACTUAL yellow hypergiant is stupidly named 'HR 5171' instead of something cool, so bear with me here. I'm gonna go with 'Centaurus', since this constellation is the same one where 'Proxima Centauri' is located, and this goes well with the yellow star Collector being closest to the baby Collector.

The 'Planet Collector's' name is pretty obvious, I'd either name them Saturn or Jupiter. I imagine them being the more 'protective' or the 'guardian' of the group, so I prefer the name Jupiter here.

Finally, for the 'Red Star' Collector, I'd name them 'Betelgeuse', after the Betelgeuse star. It is a red supergiant and one of the largest visible to the naked eye. This name is absolutely perfect, especially if we believe that the Red Star Collector is the eldest of the 5.

So Proxima, Leda, Centaurus, Jupiter and Betelgeuse, the 5 Collectors who wiped Titans from existence. Hope y'all enjoyed the name headcanons, and please please please tell me yours! I'd love to know!

As someone considering writing Voltron fanfic, but not wanting to use the Paladins' surnames from past versions of the show (Lance McClain, Hunk Garrett, etc.) because those are So White and I want them to have properly ethnic names:

Can anyone please point me toward any widely accepted surname headcanons? There are so many Hispanic names Lance could have, and I'm currently considering using Hunk Mauga (I made sure that there are instances of real people having Mauga as a surname), and then there's Keith's deal of "is he Japanese for Kogane, is he Korean (somehow), is he White (like the show treats him)"?

EDIT: Sorry to everyone also interested in this, I forgot to update. Turns out the blog lanceiscuban has a page for this exact thing!

OFMD Idea:

When the crew reunited and Pete learns of Blackbeard's (unsuccessful) attempt on Lucius' life, he immediately renounces Blackbeard as his hero.

He turns to the crew, Lucius lovingly swaddled in his arms and says "I've never served on that asshole's stupid crew on his dumb ship! In fact, from now on, I am no longer Black Pete! I am Pete Black!"

And when the crew looks at him, confused, he adds, "Oh, Black's my actual last name. Just a coincidence. No relation."

"Lucius Black, that sounds good," Lucius says, barely conscious.

Pete wrinkles his nose. "Nah, Pete Spriggs sounds cooler."

Hi! I wanted to say that I love your work and your blog and I have a question I've been curious to know.

Why did you choose Ileana as Ich's name? I read recently that one of Daphne's idea before deciding on a nameless narrator was to have her be called Gabrielle, but I love Ileana and I find it really fitting.

Lots of love

OH MY GOD THANK YOU ANON!!!!

A few months ago I saw a post by @womeninroyalty on Instagram that was summarizing the life of Princess Ileana of Romania. I thought the name was pretty and when I looked up its meaning I thought it was really fitting to who Ich/I is as a person and immediately went “Yep, that’s my Mrs. de Winter right there” and it stuck. It helped that as far as I researched, Ileana isn’t a very common name in the UK (it’s basically a fancy foreign version of Helen, Eileen, or Elaine) and it could easily be misspelled by people who haven’t heard it or seen it written down (ex: Illiana, Iliana, Eliana, etc).

I did find the letter du Maurier wrote, but only after Lauren Jones talked about it during her Instagram takeover a few weeks ago. Considering what we do learn about her name in the book, Gabrielle doesn’t feel unusual enough to me, but du Maurier basically gave free reign to everyone’s headcanons in the letter so I think she’d approve of whatever name people want to call Ich 😉

i lowkey forget that percy's full name is perseus. and like. that name goes so hard. because it just sounds like this mf could kick your ass. like imagine you're a junior in high school and your teacher introduces a new student by the name of 'perseus jackson'. and before you even raise your head to look at the guy. you just know this mf could clock you.

Since Percy can talk to sea creatures, I'd like to think that one day he passed a pet shop with all these fish screaming at him in agony. Since then there has been a giant aquarium in cabin 3 with fish. He converses with them daily when he's at camp. He gave them all names (they were delighted to hear his suggestions).

There is one grumpy grouch that always tries to eat as much food before all the other fish. He has to keep him forcibly apart in a tiny water ball during dinner. He named him Zeus. Percy doesn't give a shit. Poseidon knows and thinks it is hilarious.

Chiron, who takes care of them when Percy's gone, cannot understand them but he doesn't like the way they look so judgemental. They are very much gossiping about him to his face.

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

Anyway kind of ironic that it’s called downtime when it’s always the most stressful part of the season

I like the idea that demons and angels don't need water to survive and most of the cast was deeply confused by MC drinking it so often because "it didn't taste good" and they couldn't wrap their heads around why MC was so "obsessed" with it.

And then they found out that water is crucial for a human's health and humans DIE if they go for a few days without it and suddenly a whole new fridge was installed in the kitchen filled with just water bottles, MC started getting "h2o deliveries" completely unprompted throughout the day, texts from all of them reminding them to hydrate, etc

"MC, here's your water."

“Oi, have you had yer life juice yet?”

"Remember to hydrate."

"I still can't believe you humans depend on this to survive. How stupid is that?"

"MC, do you need some water?"

Since demons don't have middle or last names, an angry MC resorts to using their titles when they're really mad.

"Did you seriously just turn the router off? After I've been refreshing this page all day? Lucifer, Avatar of Pride, turn it back on now."

"It seems somebody swapped my homework with blank pages. Mammon, Avatar of Greed, do you have anything to say about this?"

"It's 3am. Leviathan, Avatar of Envy, you need to turn that concert DVD off right now and go to bed or I'm snapping it in half."

"Satan, Avatar of Wrath. This is the third time today I've stubbed my toe on one of your cursed books."

"Asmodeus, Avatar of Lust. You're a doll. But it has been seven hours. I can't try on any more clothes. I'm exhausted."

"I know my name was on this cup of expensive ice cream. Beelzebub, Avatar of Gluttony, how are you going to make this up to me?"

"So help me, Belphegor, Avatar of Sloth, if you're late for class again, I'm the one who gets an earful of complaints. You're leaving this house right now."
