sheriff hoyt hcs?

Quote from [Elfen Lied]. I apologize for the late reply, I've been busy and I was gathering reference material while also working on the illustrations here.

In my list of headcanons, I will be mentioning sensitive subjects. I'm talking about Hoyt afterall. Please be mindful of that and proceed to read the rest under the cut. It's a long text too. Thanks in advance for stopping by n.n

The following headcanons are written by taking in consideration both movies and comics. I personally belive that the comics, altough they provide interesting complementary material, are inconscistent with the canon source but I still borrowed some comic elements of Hoyt to create the basis of various hedcanons here and adapt them to the character we see in both films.

░𝕆ℝ𝕀𝔾𝕀ℕ𝕊░ I've read a theory about why Luda Mae is referred as his both mother and sister of Hoyt, the reason being him a product incest between Charlie Hewitt Sr. and Luda Mae. It is a very solid theory taking into consideration that the events take place in a rural, southern isolated community. However, I decided to add another possible reason why Luda Mae is called "Mama", a more psychological one. I'm not dismissing the Incest Theory, I'm just giving my own opinion and the movie doesn't really provide any complete information of the Hewitt Family Tree. Now, in my theory, I do not doubt there were cases of abuse inside the family but I do not think Hoyt is the result of inbreeding. Mostly because -at least at first sight- he doesn't seem to have genetic malformations, which should be visible considering he's supposed to be the product between very close relatives that increases the percentage of disorders appearing in their offsprings. You can call him ugly if you want (lol), but he seems genetically proportioned for me at least. Perhaps it's something internal but he wouldn't have made it as far as 59 years of age if he had a genetic illness, considering there's no medical assistance at that town and he doesn't look the type of man to have a healty life style. Also, he definitely shows no signs of intellectual disability: he's too much of a manipulative, sadistic man to have that. Then, why does Hoyt calls his sister "mama"? Mrs. Hewitt must have been a submissive, traditional woman… perhaps she was forced to marry Mr. Hewitt. The father could have been a stern, rough man… (a foreshadowing of what Hoyt would turn into the future.) The husband abused his own wife and I theorize Hoyt was a product of that: an unwanted child. Monty was the firstborn, the one to heritage the land, then Luda Mae was born shortly after. Or Luda Mae might have been born first and then the couple tried a second time for a boy with the intention of leaving the land to a male that could carry the family name, this second child being Monty. In general, I see Monty and Luda only being a few years apart. Charlie was probably conceived after the marriage was slowly falling apart/ becoming toxic. We are talking about a conservative and religious family and so, Mrs. Hewitt was forced to keep the child, and thus, Charlie was born. The mother I think either died during childbirth or managed to abandon the husband after reaching a breaking point, the second option less likely since a trad wife like that would have endured it all just for the sake of her children but I do belive she was completely absent from Charlie's life. And so, Luda Mae became the closest thing Charlie had of a mother figure, clinging to her during his early years, like a stray child looking for motherly love. These feelings would linger still as an adult, Luda Mae seems to be his most respected family member. She is the only woman to put him in his place and the only one which he cares deeply for or we wouldn't had these scenes.

The father, now without his wife… would end up venting his frustrations at his own daughter. All of this domestic violence will end up affecting the young psyche of Hoyt…

░𝕎𝔸ℝ𝕄𝕋ℍ░ He doesn't like winter because it reminds him of his time as a POW in Korea (Based on "By Himself" comic.) One of the things he missed the most from his hometown during the war besides home made food, was the summer. Warmth. A feeling that also associates with his family. If there's a thing that the man genuinely cherishes is his home and his family. During winter, his war flashbacks probably get worse: getting more irascible, having nightmares and drinking more. He also tends to get sick during cold days.

░𝔹𝕃𝕆𝕆𝔻𝕃𝕌𝕊𝕋░ He has a thing for blood. He sucks his fingers when he has the blood of the original sheriff and also licks a glass shard that he pulled out of Bailey's chest… so he gets very freaky with that kind of stuff. Very likely that he likes to lick bleeding wounds from his female victims. A sadistic satisfaction from feeding from others' weaknesses. Dog mentality.

░ℍ𝕌ℕ𝕋𝔼ℝ░ Back at the "Dog mentality" thing I said, the comics present a small trophy room. We can see music albums, toys and comics too. The later are a kinda curious thing since he's a grown ass man, perhaps he wanted to gift them for Jed or Thomas. But then, they would be at home and not at his private "office". Maybe another projection of that may represent a lost childhood… There are also newspaper clips and, of course, female underwear. He's a collector, keeping his hunting trophies. I think his favorite kind of trinkets are female accesories since he's an old perv. His most prized ones are probably kept in a drawer in his room for "easy access". I would add pr0n mags too, could have a thing for linguere since he collects their undergarments.

░𝕃𝕆𝕍𝔼░ In the comics, there are some instances of Hoyt talking about "when does Thomas will find a girl of his liking?". I personally believe he's kind of projecting, in a similar manner when he tortures his victims based on what he went through as a POW: He's expressing something about himself.

In movies we do not see this kind of dialogues but I do not think is unlikely if he has thoughts like that. As a conservative, country man that has a strong attachment to his family, he would probably consider leaving a legacy an important thing, even if said legacy is not completely made of his own flesh and blood. Both movies and comics show the Hewitts keeping the children of victims alive, as if claiming them for themselves and thus, he might want for Thomas to have a woman and continuing the family line. However, Thomas does not seem to be particulary attracted to any of the victims that appear in both media or at least not enough for sparing their lives. I think Hoyt would find that sightly dissapointing, and sometimes might consider of doing it himself: getting a woman and having a child of his very own. Yet, altough Hoyt shows interests in these young women, they are all discarded, dispossed of in the end. That's because he sees them as pieces of meat to be consumed and then moves to the next, like an alcoholic drinking bottle after bottle of licor: never fully sated. One bottle is not enough, one blonde won't ease the craving for flesh. In "The Beginning" we don't see him drinking like in the 2003 film. That vise must have started the more he got lost in his delusions, his PTSD must have gotten worse the more people he killed and abused. Now taking into consideration the aformentioned points of a possible desire for lineage, his tendency of projecting his issues on others and his violent desires that are never fully satisfied which create and trap him in a viscious cycle, I theorize the following: Hoyt might want a woman by his side, a warm body to wake up next to him and that can satisfy him in all senses and give him a son of his very own blood. He caress them, kisses them, tells them he loves them. Logically, they reject him. And so, they die. The cycle never ends, the "right" woman never shows. And never did.

In his youth he probably had flings or took advantage of women in bars knowing their unwell condition wouldn't let them to stop him or even remember him. He wasn't one for serious relationships. He was young and lived his days as they came, continuing his life as a farmer. But time went by, he got older and went to war. He came back home as a changed man, traumatized.

Illustration by me: on the left, a young Charlie. On the right, the POW.

Later, he was not the only one who was changing, the town was slowly dying too. His mind and his cherished hometown were both decaying. This must have been a breaking point for him and that's why as soon as he saw the chance to steal the identity of the original Winston Hoyt, he didn't hestated. As Hoyt, he takes what he wants when he wants it and feels powerful. He feels in control. Control that he both craves and needs in all aspects of his life since his biggest fear is being brought down to his knees and beg like what happened in Korea. That's why he strongly states that Charlie is dead once he adopts his new role as Sheriff Hoyt.

Charlie couldn't had a woman, but Hoyt can. He can have as many he wants until he gets tired, until the right one for him shows up, one to be worthy enough for him and his legacy. Charlie was beaten up and weakned, Hoyt is the one that does the beating. Charlie is dead in life, Hoyt is living at his fullest. Such is the perception of a fractured mind.

Old fanart by me, 2022.

And speaking of double identities… allow me to present my extended analysis:

『𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝕆𝕋ℍ𝔼ℝ "𝕊𝔼𝕃𝔽"』 I recently rewatched both films and was keeping an eye for background shots and Hoyt close ups for drawing references and so. This scene where he looks at himself in the window took my attention more than what it means to be.

It is also interesting to note that this Window scene happens after being scolded again by Luda Mae for getting his new role way above his head.

In the context of the movie, this is just a very humble attempt of a jumpscare. It's just Hoyt staring at the window when the final girl tries to save of what's left of her friends. Nothing more. But here I will go full creative mode and imagine this shot from both Window and Mirror scenes could be more profound, making a parallelism to another horror media: Silent Hill.

In Silent Hill 2, the player takes the role of James Sunderland. A man that gets a mysterious letter from his late wife, waiting for him at Silent Hill. The starting scene is him staring at his reflection at the mirror… Fans later discovered that James is not really looking at the mirror but at the player. Something similar we see on the SH2 remake when James learns the truth of what happened with his wife: he's avoiding looking at his reflection.

The scene is interpreted as a way to James to avoid facing his demons, his sins, the true reason why he was called in Silent Hill: to look at the face the killer of his wife. Something extremely interesting about Jame's info from offcial media is that he was conceptualized to have a doble personality. Sounds familiar, right?

On the third game of the SH games, we play as Heather Mason. She's the girl that our protagonist from the first game -Harry Mason- had to save from The Order -the main game antagonists- from using her for a ritual to summon a deadly God. Heather's lore is extensive but I will sum it up at this: Heather was "born" from another girl named Alessa Gillespie, a girl that was used by a cult to bring horrors beyond human cohomprension at the town of Silent Hill. Heather is like both twin sister and daughter of Alessa, the other half of her own flesh and mind. SH3 also has a mirror scene in early game:

By reading Heather's words, can you guess what I'm trying to talk about here and how can it be linked with Hoyt and his own mirror scenes?

I know I'm looking too much into scenes that were planned in the movie in a very superficial manner but I think that, in the end, one as a viewer can perceive art in different ways. I mean… if the actor himself gave more to the character than what the writters intented… one can do the same as a spectator. That how art is.

Now, what we see with Charlie/Hoyt is not punishment of one's sins (James) nor confronting the inner darkness that lurks in one's mind (Heather)… but to completely embrace this doppelganger that has taken full control of the self. Hoyt looks straight in the eye at his own reflection, accepting this fracture and replacement of himself. The world from the other side of the mirror calls to him to be reborn as someone new.

elfen lied as a manga and anime are trash, but elfen lied as a cultural artifact? irreplaceable. madhouse did a superb job cleaning the piss off of elfen lied's source material just enough to make it watchable, but the middle school girls who identified with lucy's self serving rage harnessed and refined what could be salvaged further from that project into a power fantasy greater and more complex than the sum of its original texts. to me, elfen lied's proper and canonical form is edgy spiral notebook drawings uploaded to deviantart and animal i have become amvs.

Do You Know This Anime?

[maykitz]

a few years ago i read elfen lied in its entirety and sometimes i still remember how bad it was and how i couldn't believe it ever got an adaptation. the art wasn't amazing anyway but the plot was so contrived and ridiculous i had to put it down several times because it just couldn't be taken seriously i was like offended the author was making me read that nonsense. the anime was still pretty cheesy but in comparison they really polished the source material by focusing on the premise and drastically cutting and altering everything else. which for example included deleting a whole recurring character whose entire personality was that she's a school girl who wears diapers and pees nonstop lmao like come on man

Saya no Uta is kind of the Elfen Lied of visual novels I feel in that I think it's overrated in the west or at least english speaking countries due to a lacking of other sources in a much broader medium than one can experience in english at least at the time. Steins Gate is also pretty overrated for similar reasons, as is Ouran High School as another anime reference.

The Byronic Hero Bracket: Qualifying Round Batch F #5

Lucy from Elfen Lied vs. Huey Freeman from The Boondocks

Reasons under the cut (spoilers for both)

(All sources from TV Tropes)

Lucy:

Lucy from Elfen Lied is a perfect example. Morally neutral? To put it mildly. Largely concerned with personal interests? Check. Disrespect of common authority? Check. Tragic past? Dear God... Defined by conflict, inner and outer? Definitely. Attractive? Oh yes. Introspective loner? Check. Cynical, jaded, brooding and self-destructive? Definitely.

Huey Freeman:

In The Boondocks, Huey Freeman is defined by his cynicism and intelligence, being aware of an apparent "white supremacist power structure" and having several accounts of radical activism and domestic terrorism under his belt in his efforts to tear it down. His Byronic nature was more pronounced and played for laughs in the comic strip, where his pessimism often frustrated the few people who could be considered his friends. He's more well-rounded in the animated series since this version of Huey is a Composite Character of him and his best friend of the comics, who serves as his straight man.

[fictionkinfessions]

for the playlist ask game, I don’t think any of the songs from my fictive playlist are particularly out there if you’re actually familiar with the source, but maybe “Leviathan, the Girl” from Phemiec? Homestuck song jumpscare.

[xbuster]

@anotherfandom Normally, I would agree! And I think I saw you on some of my posts explaining why I was unhappy with numerous changes made to the Urusei Yatsura manga's stories in the remake anime, so it's actually pretty uncharacteristic of me to be unbothered by this. I think I'm just willing to excuse it for the sake of gore anime. The thing with gore-heavy fiction like Elfen Lied is that it's one of those genres that can benefit the most from animation. I think changing some plot beats can be justified if it compliments the strengths of animation. It's one of the reasons I'll even defend the Corpse Party OVA that everyone hates.

If you're interested in a fleshed out story, the source material already has that covered, but despite being a gore-heavy horror story, the original games weren't able to show most of the violence since the presentation was so limited. I think making up for that in animation at the expense of story (which, again, you can just play the game to experience) makes sense. Likewise, this scene in Elfen Lied works fine in the manga but would feel a little drawn out in the anime and it would take away from the immediate horror next to Kisaragi. The change made it quick and snappy. And the image we're left with of Lucy facing a line of gunmen with Kisaragi's decapitated body slumped to the ground and her confused head facing the viewer sticks with me for that reason.

It's interesting how the Elfen Lied anime gives Kisaragi's death a completely different tone than the manga. In the manga, Kisaragi recognizes Lucy as a threat but is commanded by Kurama to give up her life so they can stop Lucy. Kisaragi agrees through tears and Lucy kills her knowing she won't be useful as a hostage anymore.

In the anime, Kisaragi is just confused and is killed by Lucy without Kisaragi even realizing it while Kurama yells to her, wishing to save Kisaragi. It goes from a scene about a woman who doesn't think her life is inherently valuable and for that reason she gives up her life in the hopes it will help Kurama to one of needless death.

I'd like to ask for 🍀✏️ and 💀 for Mason, if it's alright?

ANOOONNNN you really made my heart skip in joy when you sent these asks for Mason like wowaa it makes me happy that someone out there is interested to know more about him 🥺🥹💗

Ask Game for someone's OC

∘₊✧───────────────────────────────✧₊∘

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

My answer falls more under inspiration from another media that isn't Jojo, so if you've never heard or watch the anime Elfen Lied before then it may be a bit confusing to understand 😅 But basically, the source material hardly touched on the idea of male Diclonius since they often come in rare and don't live long compared to their female counterparts, so really I'm just ✨️yoinking✨️ the lore from an existing media and playing a "what if" scenario as I try to explore more on Mason's backstory ✌️😚💅

Adding to that! I had some ideas for Madison that I originally wanted for her but felt like it was too much, like for instance her Stand powers! I, for some reason, also really love the concept of twins and the sense of them being close since they were born on the same time/same day yadda yadda so I put the twins on some angsty fix and liked it enough to keep him!

✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?

Not as often but I am trying to change that! I do have concept art and sketches as well as some notes that try to give a jist on his story in Madison's life, so there's that.

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

He has a fear of needles, and similar to Madison a fear of tight spaces and loud sounds like explosions!
