Just saw a great post about Vegas' hedgehog and the symbolism of its ill-fitted enclosure, and I can't stop thinking about it; it's a hedgehog in a birdcage, an enclosure it was never going to thrive in no matter what because that cage could simply never meet its needs, and in that cage the hedgehog grew sick and miserable, until eventually, it died. Vegas is the hedgehog in the birdcage; his home and life were never going to meet his needs. It was never going to be a healthy environment where he could thrive. Just like the hedgehog, Vegas grew sick and miserable, and almost died because of it.
And there's even more to it: the hedgehog couldn't be saved, but Vegas did. Vegas got put in a better environment suited to his needs where he could heal. He is the hedgehog of his father that didn't die. And see, the series sets Vegas as the owner and Pete as the pet, but I think this goes just as much the other way around, because Pete took the hedgehog out of the birdcage, Pete made sure Vegas' needs were met.

khun spikes is a funky good name. straightforward, versatile even. i just don't think vegas would have passed on the opportunity of calling his hedgehog the Zodiac Quiller

throwaway kinnporsche headcanons ft. crudely drawn visual aides for your inconvenience
the bodyguards canonically gossip over tea and biscuits, so at least once all of them have gotten drunk and confessed who was the hottest of their superiors. daddy chan won by an overwhelming amount of votes
big catches ken wearing a hawaiian shirt one day, it unsettles him how natural ken looked in a big over-sized short-sleeved button up. big excuses himself quietly and pretends he didn't see anything
pol and arm have had to restrain tankhun from trying to assasinate macau several times. usually pete distracts macau whilst arm and pol are seen flailing around in the background with a blood thirsty tankhun
everytime kan is the worst father™ towards either vegas or macau, the other brother would make up an excuse to get out of the house like macau would pop into vegas' room and be like 'i want to eat out tonight at that random street restaurant an hour drive away' and vegas is like 'done, grab a jacket we're going'. and they stay out late together, just the two of them, until vegas doesn't feel the sting of his father's hand and macau's hands stop shaking.

Soooo, I was reading this vegaspete fic in which Pete brought Vegas a bunny to take care of. And this fic specifically mentioned that Pete made sure the rabbit was healthy and disease free.
And I don't know if the author intentionally mentioned that or it was just something they said in passing but now I'm imagining how did Vegas end up losing EVERY hedgehog he ever took care of.
One could say that may he be was careless or its supposed to show how Vegas hurts everything he cares for but what if that's what Gun wanted Vegas to feel? So he PURPOSEFULLY gave Vegas hedgehogs the he KNEW wouldn't last long.
To make Vegas feel worthless, to feel him like he can't do anything right?
I mean if he had the series reaction to every hedgehog, I'm sure there was no Pete to comfort him.

"Canon isn't real, do whatever you want with the media property!" is really just "turn your brain off and enjoy things" dressed up and pretending to be a reasonable argument.
Sorry but I LIKE the canon. It's sort of the reason I'm here in the first place. If you don't like or care about the canon then I'm not sure why you're even talking about it in the first place. For the same reason I'm not sure why you're talking about enjoying something if you didn't actually bother to use your brain when engaging with it.
You know, you never see people saying "canon isn't real, stop caring about it, play with the toys in the sandbox" about something they actually think is good. About something they actually respect as a piece of art. You're pretty much just tacitly arguing that the Thing in question is a steaming load that nobody should care about. In which case either I think the Thing in question is bad and you have no argument to refute my assertion of how bad it is, or I think the Thing in question is good and you're insulting it and are not worth interacting with because you are not discussing the topic in good faith.

Headcannoning that Vegas’ hedgehog is from Macau. Macau comes home one day with a hedgehog, said he found it at school, and asks Vegas to hide it from their dad and to take care of it whilst he’s at school. He also makes an off hand comment about how it reminds Macau of Vegas, prickly and hard on the outside but soft on the inside, the Vegas only Macau truly knows. Macau pets the hedgehog fondly before handing it over to Vegas. Vegas, knowing he has trouble forming attachment and is not equipped to look after anything, not even himself, takes it and the next day he tells Macau that it died because Vegas fed it something that he wasn’t suppose to. Macau cries but reassures Vegas he doesn’t blame him.
But the hedgehog isn’t dead. Vegas keeps it in its cage in his office because he can’t bring himself to kill it. Not only did it mean something to Macau, a gift from his darling brother, but also because maybe, just maybe, he would be killing himself.
