nevermore modern!au headcanons i have! this idea won from the last poll. (:
montresor has a tongue piercing. done deal.
eulalie loves collecting little trinkets! whether it be shiny bottle cops or rusted necklace chains, it's hers now. 100% crow energy.
morella would take a gaelic language course if it was offered in school. i feel if she was irish, she would want to be more in touch with her ancestral roots and culture.
pluto's major in university would be history with a minor in latin studies!
i can imagine berenice maybe playing some type of sport as a hobby. maybe softball?
lenore and duke would definitely be the students who write on the inside of bathroom stalls. probably got a whole conversation going on with three different people.
annabel lee definitely forced her father to join in on her tea parties as a child.
ada, sweet ada. she does not have a green thumb, so she would end up killing every plant she's tried to grow.
if prospero were forced to work in a group project, he would end up just taking over and doing everything himself because the others aren't doing it right.
theo would be an orchestra kid since he plays the violin. lenore was forced to take piano lessons as a child.
will would run a secret fan tumblr blog dedicated to his favorite franchise of movies or books. when asked about it, he denies it.
as a summer job, duke would perform as a magician for little kids' birthday parties.
annabel lee? hates baths. lenore? loves them.
morella and eulalie LOVE scrapbooking!
morella 🫱🏻🫲🏽 mom jeans.
many of these are pretty tame, so i hoped you enjoyed them! i may write seperate headcanons for annabel lee's group and the misfits. ♡

Modern AU LOTR where Frodo, Merry, and Pippin have their own MBMBAM-style advice show.
"Welcome to My Cousin, My Cousin, and Me; I'm your eldest cousin, Frodo Baggins"
"And I'm your middlest cousin, Merry 'Tall Boy' Brandybuck"
"And I'm your sweet baby cousin and 30 under 30 Middle Earth luminary, Pippin Took"
"It's really not fair that you were the only one under 30 when they were giving those out, Pip. Why couldn't they have come round a few decades earlier?"
There's a lot of Munch Squad because they're hobbits and they care a lot about food. Frodo does do them, and they are just as filled with weird characters as Justin's Munch Squad, but they're all much more obviously based on people they know. Frodo, as it turns out, can do a killer Legolas voice.
Pippin has a tendency to make up weird games and/or go off on weird tangents a la Travis, so Merry then takes Griffin's spot as the one getting increasingly more annoyed with him. Frodo just does Justin's weird little balloon-deflating laugh.
Guest-perts have included Bilbo, Gandalf, and Merry & Pippin's fathers. One time someone sends in a Wikihow article about gardening, so they bring on Sam as a Guest-pert, but it's like the most absurd advice ever, and while the cousins are all riffing on it, Sam spends the entire time getting more and more audibly offended. This is so entertaining to the audience that Sam continues appearing on the show, to the point that it's more like "My Cousin, My Cousin, and Me...and Sam"

Oh hey look it's an AU of my AU because my brain won't shut up :D
Ganondorf dragged his feet, slowing his pace as he stared at the deli.
"No," Nabooru immediately cut in. "I know what you're thinking."
"I want some," he said simply, stubbornly, resolutely.
"You're not a child," Nabooru argued. "Have some blasted self control. It's not on the grocery list."
As the pair argued, Link wandered over, a box of goldfish in hand. Nabooru immediately raised an eyebrow at him.
"My budget," he reasoned with an innocent shrug.
Nabooru sighed. "Fine. Put it in."
"Oh, so he gets to grab anything he wants, but I can't?" Ganondorf grumbled.
Nabooru rolled her eyes. "He is paying for his own groceries. How old are you?"
As the two continued to bicker, Hemisi poked Link, motioning with her phone. "You've got to see this meme, it's hilarious."
Link peered over her shoulder, eyes curious as a smile pulled at his lips. Meanwhile, Ganondorf finally conceded, glaring into the void as they continued their trek beyond the beloved meat section.
When the family got home, Link helped Ganondorf unload the groceries, setting his own aside, while Hemisi and Nabooru greeted their poodle and made sure he had dinner. Eventually, everyone settled, with Ganondorf and Nabooru humming along with the radio while they meal prepped for the next day, and Hemisi and Link relaxing on the sofa together, both on their phones. Occasionally the teenagers exchanged memes and videos, giggling.
When the parents were finished, Ganondorf moved to dismiss Link for the night when he saw that both children had fallen asleep on th sofa. Hemisi was laying across it, her legs draped over Link's lap while he sat slumped on the corner, arms resting over her. Nabooru smiled at the pair as her husband sighed.
"The boy might as well move in," Ganondorf half joked. "He almost always falls asleep here."
"That's a dangerous idea having them actually live together while they're dating," Nabooru chuckled. "I can't watch them 24/7."
Ganondorf hummed in agreement, walking over and gently picking up his daughter. Yes, she was fifteen, but he didn't care - she would always be his little girl, and he was gentle enough that she didn't wake up. He tucked her in to her bed and watched her a moment, smiling.
Meanwhile, Nabooru grabbed a pillow and helped ease Link to lay down across the sofa, covering him with a heavy blanket and kissing him softly on the temple. "Rest well, baby."
The parents stayed awake a little while longer, chatting quietly at the table as they sipped some hot tea. When Link abruptly startled awake, falling off the sofa and nearly hitting his head on the side table near it, the pair rushed into the room to settle him. His nightmares weren't too frequent, but they came often enough that both were familiar with it.
"Link," Ganondorf said gently, grounding him as he gasped for air. "It's all right. Relax. You're safe."
Link stared at him, disoriented, and the man sighed, pulling the teenager into a hug. Eventually, he picked him up, settling on the recliner and letting Link rest on his lap. He yawned as he rubbed the boy's arm calmingly.
"Maybe he should move in," Nabooru said with a half smile as she threw the blanket over them both. "You gonna stay here for the night?"
Ganondorf grunted in the affirmative, and Nabooru's smile grew. "Perfect. That means I get the bed to myself. Come on, Ghirahim!"
Their poodle trotted happily after his mother as Ganondorf scowled, but he got over his grumpiness soon enough. The house grew still, and peace filled the air.
