#the hasa one is me just making shit up as I go along but that's just how character development works ain't it

[mythandral]

What memory would your OC rather just forget? (for Outis)

What is your OC's weapon of choice? Have they ever actually used it? (for Hasa)

Do you have a specific lyric or quote which you associate with your OC? (for Robin)

What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them? (for Alorus)

What is your OC's fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw? (for Wyn)

Outis - there's a lot of people Outis has been cruel to via inaction (most of their 'friendships' are very one-sided - not entirely their fault, but it can end up with feelings hurt) and I do think they regret much of it once they actually start to figure out how relationships work and how to be present in them.

There's lots of situations that they think back on and wish they had handled differently, and that includes tiny little things that the other person has almost certainly forgotten (Outis is, after all, highly forgettable) and would cause no harm for them to forget as well - it'd be those that they'd choose.

Of course the person that really helped them figure out all of this in the first place is the person who has the ability to remove those memories, but Outis isn't going to use it - they know that they'd still exist in crystal, and would rather keep them in their own head.

Hasa - Hasa uses his knives quite regularly. It's not just for combat, he's been living out in the wilderness for upwards of a century and they see a lot of use for hunting, cutting away vegetation, rudimentary cooking and what have you. He's amassing a collection - he's never been close enough to civilisation to purchase them so they're mostly stolen, or lifted from what's left of unfortunate explorers, in payment for the small rites he performs for them. I think he has a favourite, old set that he keeps sharp but barely uses - they're very ornate, with gems set in the handle and he likes just looking at them.

Robin - the rest of the song doesn't especially fit, but I like these lyrics from Schism by Tool for them:

I know the pieces fit

'Cause I watched them tumble down

No fault, none to blame

It doesn't mean I don't desire

To point the finger, blame the other

Watch the temple topple over

To bring the pieces back together

Rediscover communication

They're a conspiracy theorist at the time of the fall of the Allagan empire, managing to make contact with a survivor in the now-buried Crystal Tower, so I think they fit really well!

Alorus - Alorus went from being a bastard deserving of no sympathy to a bastard deserving of all of it as his motivations and themes came together. The underlying question of his character has remained constant - what happens if a shard of Outis was given great attention and influence from birth - and the answer remains much the same (it ends badly - their soul is never supposed to be in the forefront), but the journey has become far less pointing and laughing at the hubris and bad decisions made, and more crying about them. And way more butterflies (and crying about them, too).

Wyn - Wyn's (and the other shards', really) fatal flaw is failure to take action or connect. The world goes on around him, and doesn't change for his presence or lack thereof. He was at the Waking Sands during the massacre and hid. He flits around and does small, helpful things but if he's paid attention to he's prone to disengage. It takes concious effort for him to be involved with things, and for the most part the effort isn't going to be his. Like any fatal flaw it's addressed as time goes on, but aspects of that are always going to be present.

HI RACHEL IF YOU WANT TO DO MORE HEADCANONS I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THE GREENDALE 7 + MEMES OR THE GREENDALE 7 + MUSICALS AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE AMAZING

UMMMM MUSICALS AND MEMES ARE MY SHIT LET’S DO THIS

MUSICALS

Annie’s favorite musical is Wicked. Someone introduced her to it while she was in rehab, and she relates to Elphie a lot, which helped her cope

Shirley also loves Wicked, but her favorite is Glinda. She and Annie sing their duets together

Troy and Abed are into comedy musicals along the lines of Avenue Q, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and the Book of Mormon

Shirley was on the fence with Putnam until My Unfortunate Erection. She still doesn’t know about the Jesus part. No one’s brave (or stupid) enough to mention it in front of her

Britta hates most musicals because they send bad messages to the audience, usually about a woman choosing a man who’s bad for her. She particularly hates Phantom of the Opera because of this (or so she claims, several members of the group have seen her dramatically pretending to play the organ while listening to the overture)

Annie and Shirley do manage to get her onboard with Wicked because “it’s more about two women and their powerful friendship than romance”

Britta loves Spring Awakening. There’s literally a song called “The Bitch of Living” and if that’s not the most Britta thing, then idk what is

She also unironically loves Cats

Troy and Abed ironically love Cats

Everyone else hates Cats

Jeff didn’t really like musicals, but Annie got him into them. His favorite is Guys and Dolls (which has nothing to do with the fact that Annie reminds him of Sarah and he relates to Sky, Shirley!). He hated Phantom of the Opera for a while for the same reason. He saw himself as the Phantom and Annie as Christine (because the Phantom was a creepy older man who preyed on an innocent girl) before he dealt with his feelings about their age difference. Now, he’s not super in love with it, but he’ll still watch it with her

Pierce loves Carousel. Britta goes on a rant for an hour about why it sucks, and for once people actually agree with her because “Carousel blows, unless you’re watching it to make fun of it”

The Dean loves every musical ever made that he can base a costume or pun on

Jeff surprises Annie by learning the male parts to her favorite duets and sings them with her. He also hums the more romantic ones to her while they’re lying down together

Jeff finds out that despite loving Wicked, Annie has never actually seen it live. He surprises her with a trip to New York to see it for an anniversary

Chang loves Sweeney Todd. He just wishes there was less singing and more murder. “Chang, you know that’s the basic premise of a musical right?” “Shut up, Frankie. More murder makes everything better.” “You need professional help.”

Frankie doesn’t get or care about musicals at all

One time, Troy and Abed were listening to Hasa Diga Eebowai from the Book of Mormon, and Shirley came in and had a conniption

Britta hates Hamilton, Annie really only cares about the Schuyler Sisters, Jeff and Pierce hate it, and Troy, the Dean, and Abed are the ones who become known as “the Hamilton dudes”

Troy and Abed introduced everyone to Starkid. Everyone loves them (even Pierce who doesn’t understand most of the jokes and references) Annie’s favorite is Twisted, Troy and Abed love Holy Musical B@man, Britta likes Firebringer, Jeff and Pierce like Me and My Dick, and Shirley likes A Very Potter Musical

MEMES

Troy and Abed are the meme kings. They make Greendale specific memes, and everyone loves them

They try to keep Pierce from finding out memes for as long as possible. Whenever a new one shows up, they try to avoid mentioning it in front of Pierce because he overuses them and runs them into the ground. To this day, if someone even mentions Pepe the Frog, they’ll get at least five dirty looks and possibly something thrown at them

The human being is a meme all on its own, but there are so many other Greendale specific memes about it too

Britta refuses to use memes because “they’re just a way to distract ourselves from the horrors of the real world. We need to pay attention to people in need, not memes!”

No one ever needs to know about the giant folder of cat memes Britta has on her phone

Whenever Britta gets on an anti-meme tirade, Troy and Abed only reply with either “You mad, bro?” or “oh, shit waddup?”

Britta thinks those are both legit questions, and Troy and Abed say that if anyone tells her that they’re responding with memes, they’ll give Pierce every meme they have

Jeff has a select few he likes, but he’d never admit it because it would make him seem “uncool”

Annie likes a lot of the ones Troy and Abed show her, but she doesn’t go look for them herself. Sometimes, if she comes across one, she’ll send it to Troy and Abed

Shirley doesn’t get them. Except the minion memes. She loves those. No one has the heart (or the courage) to tell her that those are associated with uncool, white, suburban moms

Frankie hates every single meme. She thinks they’re stupid. Britta’s finally happy someone agrees with her until Frankie tells her that her that her reason for not liking them makes no sense
