#this is not to discourage headcanons

[chuuya-fan-page]

yeeeaaaah, the minute I saw that tiktok was referring to sigma as “she/her” I knew it was going to be full of takes based on a bastardization of canon. like no shade or disrespect to anyone who does use those pronouns for sigma, i don’t get why but that’s not my business, but the facts are that if you’re dealing explicitly and unbiasedly with what actually is canon, which this tiktok pretends it is, then the facts are that that’s just not canon. acting like it is, tells me that this person has their own idea of what canon is and it’s not an accurate picture

Headcanons are all well and good, I am fully for any and all pronouns for Sigma honestly, but like you said, that user is merging their headcanons with canon, they are not stepping back to view Sigma without the lens they have imposed on him. And we see that their interpretation is suffering because of this.

BSD is something that has to be viewed without bias sometimes, because if you ignore the characters you hate or dismiss relationships because you prefer other ones, you are not going to get the full picture.

Some examples of this is that the BSD fandom hates Mori so much, which comes from a fair place of disgust at his actions, but it's to the point that they ignore him entirely, and refuse to acknowledge his existence, which is a terrible decision given that he is one of the smartest, most powerful (in terms of status) and knowledgeable character in BSD.

Another example is that some Soukoku shippers will prioritise Dazai and Chuuya's relationships with one another over other's that are just as important, such as Chuuya and the Flags, or Dazai and Odasaku, which leads to an interpretation of them that makes them seem codependent and isolated from others. Even the inverse happens, where Soukoku antis will refuse to admit that Dazai and Chuuya have a canon, platonic partnership based on trust and years of working together, a bond that is deeply important for both of their characters.

I've found I enjoy BSD more when I look at it from an unbiased lens. Of course you can have favourites and characters you hate, god knows I do (Ace you slimy motherfucker, I'm coming for you and your hairline), but you should allow yourself to explore the entire world, investigate the characters you dislike; you might find yourself liking what's below the surface, acknowledge the relationships that aren't romantic but are still important. Look at the entirety of BSD, because Asagiri is frankly a genius, and his worldbuilding and character development are some of the best and most beautifully crafted examples I've ever seen.

The way it’s just fandom culture to fixate and ship two characters who show up for two seconds in a book

a question - 1 2 3

Star Trek is never mentioned in Stranger things so headcanon that Steve grew up watching it (he has a youngish great-aunt who took care of him when he was baby Steve), utterly convinced Kirk and Spock are married, also convinced it's old lady tv. She took him to Star Trek: The Motion Picture and like. Fifty percent of the audience was older ladies. She had zines and later gave them to him.

Dustin finds out Steve is what one could consider a Trekkie when Steve offers to take them to see Star Trek IV The Voyage Home in theatres, and he flips because, Steve, you like something nerdy!!

And Steve's like 'no?? I like an old lady tv show? Kirk takes his top off like every episode and it was on during the day for housewives. My auntie was really into it and I watched with her and she gave me her little star trek fanclub newsletters. Basically everyone working on those were women. Idk man, maybe you like something mundane.

He attempts to recruit help but everyone agrees it's very nerdy to have fanzines from the sixties and seventies of star trek and Steve is like whatever I like the romance!! To which everyone is also confused because romance is never really a big part of it?? Kirk is a ladies man, sure, but it's not super romantic? And now it's Steve's turn to be confused because 'Kirk and Spock are Vulcan married!! They got married when Spock had Pon Farr! They do the weird Vulcan hand kissing thing!! Obviously they are soulmates and obviously I would scour the galaxy for you, Robin, but I also very much do not want to make out with you which is what Kirk and Spock do when they touch hands!'

Everyone is like what the fuck are you talking about? Because Steve is a Spirk truther lmao.

I did a survey on my Instagram about what people wanted to see for Inktober, and it turns out a lot of Whouffaldi people still follow me because this fanbase is dedicated af, so I figured I should get some practice in.

Random fun facts about the Burns:

Please Note: This is all information I (mostly) collected from Nicole Dubuc’s Twitter.

If you would like me to add screenshots as some sort of ‘evidence’ it might take a small while, and I simply made this post to have all information collected in one place.

Age (at start of show):

Cody: 10

Graham: 20

Dani: 21

Kade: 22

Charlie: 52 (but 53 in ‘Little White Lies’)

Favourite Colour:

Cody: Orange

Graham: Green

Dani: Blue

Kade: ‘Himself (even if it’s not a colour)’

Charlie: Grey

Second Language:

Graham: French

Dani: Japanese, and apparently sign language

Kade: Spanish (took it in school but remembers none of it)

Charlie: Spanish

Bonus:

Woodrow: Many (Greek, Latin, Aramaic, Urdu, Gorilla, Japanese, reads Hieroglyphics and more).

Favourite ‘Copyrighted Materials’:

Cody: Action-adventure

Graham: Myth Busters

Dani: NASCAR and romantic comedies

Kade: Blockbusters (especially ‘Maven Danger’ (James Bond))

Charlie: NCIS (the show)

Activities done with Cody when he was younger:

All siblings babysat him at some point.

Graham: He used to wow him with science experiments from his science kit. They also built their own tree fort together.

Dani: She was probably the best at babysitting Cody, because they liked similar things, and Dani always shared her stuffed animals with Cody. She liked to refine his basketball skills so she could have him on her team against Kade and Graham in family games.

Kade: He was super-protective of Cody when he was little, and Cody hero-worshipped him for awhile - until he figured out that “let's do Kade's chores" is not actually a game.

Charlie: This is with his family in general, they had ‘board game nights’ and ‘movie nights’, along with ‘story night’ (when everyone unplugs and just shares tales).

‘All the Burns kids love Cody and liked hanging out with him.’

Which Hogwarts house they would be in:

Cody: Gryffindor

Graham: Ravenclaw

Dani: Gryffindor

Kade: Hufflepuff (but would be mistaken to be a Gryffindor)

Charlie: Gryffindor

The idea of Hanzo cutting Cassidy's hair is just smooch.

I mean, it makes sense. I feel like Hanzo, while still on the run from basically the world (including himself), would keep himself very groomed and Cassidy is the exact opposite.

So Hanzo cutting Cassidy's hair would be great, especially since I believe that hair cuts/grooming can be such a personal thing, it's something between them that's a lot more intimate that other people might think.

Oh Snowflake Anon!! I absolutely agree!! I thought this deserved more than a lil blurb so take this :>

I love trans headcanons as much as the next guy but sometimes I see fanart of a guy with top surgery scars and all I can think is "he can NOT afford top surgery"

See, here's the thing that kills me about the popularity of the nonbinary Xion headcanon, is that Xion was not assigned male at birth before she transed her gender.

She was assigned agender at birth.

Xion is constantly getting misgendered throughout all of Days, and it visibly upsets her every time, but crucially she is not being misgendered by being called 'he'! She is being misgendered in a dysphoria-causing way by being referred to as not having any gender, let alone the gender she knows she has (which is girl). She has a full-blown crisis when she finds out she was not born a girl. The narrative also positions everyone who refers to her with non-gendered pronouns as doing active harm to her or as being villainous in that moment; Saix constantly calling her 'it,' DiZ scoffing at Namine using "she" to refer to Xion. The narrative is clear that what is upsetting and dysphoric to Xion is being referred to as having no binary gender, even moreso than being forced to become masculine, which only becomes an added layer of dysphoria at the very end of the game.

That being the case... WHAT is the deal with why it is so popular to misgender her in the exact same way? She's a girl. She transed her gender so hard she forced other people to literally see her as a girl even though her physical body was a doll's.

- Is it that this fandom doesn't think she 'passes' well enough, so she can't really be a girl like she says she is?

- Is it that this fandom thinks that even if she says she's a girl, her body doesn't have female sex characteristics so she can't really be a girl, she must be what her body dictates she is?

- Is it that she's not demure and soft like the other two girls with her face, so she can't really be a girl like them? That girls don't have open and assertive body language?

- is it that she was born from Sora, so she can't really be a girl because her origin was a boy and she must be somewhere in the middle?

- is it just an empathy gap, where people can't identify with a trans girl and need to make her less trans somehow? An inability to square the idea of choosing a binary gender on purpose? An inability to see why she would choose to be a girl specifically? Is it the thing where so many people in fandom right now can't get invested in characters unless they're "just like me frfr" and so she can't be a trans girl?

What is it?? Why is the ONE canon trans girl not allowed to be a trans girl? When there is an entire cast of characters to otherwise choose from whose narratives are not SPECIFICALLY ABOUT being trans and a girl? I simply do not get it.

okay but why has Piccolo not had a kid of his own at this point? we all know that pics is a great dad/uncle to everyone else's kids, so why hasn't he had one of his own yet? yeah, maybe he is just content baby-sitting/training everyone else's kids for now, but... what if he can't? not in a way that he is physically incapable, I mean... mentally, he cant. because no matter how you see it; piccolo being the re-incarnation of king piccolo, or just his son with all of his sire's memories, the fact is: Piccolo remembers the deaths of his sons/brothers. It is literally canon that father nameks can feel when their sons die. We saw King Piccolo feel it, we saw Guru pretty much dying because of the physical/emotional pain related to it! even if king piccolo didn't feel anything else but physical pain over their deaths, junior has become a person with a good heart, with empathy and sympathy. if he were to have a kid of his own, and they died, he would not just feel the physical pain of it, but the emotional as well.

maybe he can't bring himself to have his own child, because he still remembers the deaths of king piccolo's, and even if he didn't feel anything for them, he would for any child he would have now... and he just can't bring himself to have any because of that.

i really wish 'fandom' and 'fanfic' wasn't considered synonymous with 'shipping' tbh

Random SHHEEP ponderings #12

What if the reason The Company thinks that Bilbo has such good eyesight is really because dwarves are nearsighted, and after BOTFA the tales of Bilbo spread, leading most of middle earth to think that Hobbits have unusually good sight.

[luke-life]

bruh people still argue the liyue gangs ages

They are all the same age and they are unconfirmed.

Idk where people get hu tao is 4-8 years older than her friends or that chongyun and xingqiu are 17 never mentioning xiangling.

Then when they ask where it was confirmed they give vague statements.

Cleary you don't know.

I saw someone discouraging shipping chongming because Ga-ming is an adult and their first price of evidence is that he travels by himself ???

Xiangling was in mondstadt when we first met her?? Yet people see her as minor.

DIBS ON MARRYING DEMON CROSS

"good luck with that kiddo, i called dibs on them before they even turned into a demon lol"

[jotun-design-party]

My personal headcanon is that although there are warriors in Jotunheim, magic is praised more than physical strength is.

second ask:

well, to continue the magic talk.

It'd be something biological that all Jotuns have, but it's more about who can give more use to it. Being royalty one with the best use of it.

This wouldn't mean fighting with your bare hands would be look down upon though, it's just different kind of strengths.

(i like imagining jotunheim would have a positive view on it thats it)
