Another Venoct headcanon

Venoct, Shad. Venoct, and Illuminoct are brothers

Shad. Venoct's the oldest

Venoct's the middle child who needs therapy and refuses it like the plague

And Illuminoct's the youngest brother and basically the baby of the Venoct brothers (He’s not really a baby, it’s just that he’s younger than Venoct or Shad. Venoct)

So I have quite a few different headcanons for the games so I’m just gonna list off some of the more general ones and the ones for the first game (mostly?). Some of them are implied or kind of hinted at, others not.

(Most, if not all, of these can work for either Katie or Nate but since I play as Nate that is what I’ll be writing)

1. A lot more time passes between the games than it does in canon; there’s almost a year between the yokai elevator getting sealed and the yokai returning so Nate is like 12 during the infinite inferno debacle.

2. Lucas and the yokai watch went with the other yokai when the elevator sealed but the medalium and the medals within did not. Nate takes to carrying the medallium around with him in his school bag as a keepsake of sorts, he takes it out sometimes just to stare at the medals.

3. Nate cried immediately after the yokai left as he sat admiring the cherry blossoms. He spent the coming weeks just subconsciously looking for any sign of yokai meddling or his friends just to be reminded that they weren’t there anymore.

4. Nate actually starts seeing and sensing yokai on his own very early on but it’s only like a vague silhouette or sensation in the back of his mind until he scans them. After he’s scanned a yokai they are visible to him forever, unless they’re putting proper effort into hiding that is. This ability to see and sense the spirits slowly gets stronger the longer he’s exposed to em.

5. Between the events of the yokai watch one plot and the infinite inferno, Nate starts volunteering at shoten temple; cleaning off the graves and replacing the flowers around them. He gets paid by the monk (not a lot but ya know) but he isn’t there for the money, it just makes him feel closer to the spirits since he’s doing something to honour the dead.

6. In a similar vein as the last one, he also spends a lot of time up on mount wildwood, mostly around the sacred tree. He’ll do his homework sat leaning against the trunk or even sitting up in the lower branches, no one ever comes back there so it’s kind of his little safe haven.

7. Nate got really into drawing so that he could remember exactly what his friends looked like, he has little fun facts written between each drawing; things about them and who they are as people that you could only know if you knew them personally. He also has a separate little sketch book full of drawings of the bugs he’d caught.

8. The cats up on mount wildwood love him.

9. Nate ends up like weirdly desensitized to a lot of stuff revolving death or anything like gross, he’s dealt with too much to be fazed.

10. He couldn’t look at spiders the same way after the tarantutor incident. Like he isn’t scared of them but they definitely aren’t his favorite thing in the world.

11. Nate acts all annoyed with jibanyan’s chocobar obsession but he’s secretly the one making sure they always have some at home. He told his mom they were his favorite n’ everything.

12. Jibanyan sleeps curled up at the foot of Nate’s bed and cuddles with him whenever he has a nightmare, whisper sleeps next to the bed to keep watch over him.

13. Nate has in fact gotten caught off guard by yokai (it takes him a second to summon his team) and even caught in the crossfire during fights, be it by the yokai themselves or the general debris created. He has a couple small scars from such instances alongside the random scars one gets just by going through life.

14. Boy just in general cannot mind his own business, if he sees anyone looking even slightly concerned he will ask what’s up. He loves being helpful.

15. He has little sleeves with individual slots for medals in the pockets of his cargo pants so he can actually carry like twelve medals without his bag, it’s six medals per pocket, it’d be more if he wanted to just have them rattling around in there but it’s hard as shit to keep track of so he usually sticks to just the six in his right pocket.

what niche ykw headcanons do you have? I mean stuff that isn't even accidentally implied , it's literally something that came in your head one day and now it's stuck,

For example, i like the idea of Fumi's parents being divorced, they just occasionally spend time with their daughter together

IDK why, i think it was just a big ol projection when I was playing a games as a child

Now it's your turn fool!

One of the funniest parts about the whole “Leo not giving Draxum any grace” idea is that Draxum is one of the ONLY notable older men in the show that Leo isn’t willing to give a proper second chance to OR really hear out in the first place.

No seriously it’s genuinely a Thing.

Hey there all three people who are still in the yokai watch fandom

[nayuu]

Woke-kai watch my beloved.

Love these trans hcs for main characters. They look very squishable..... (Natsuki belongs to @amf-studios, and Kenji to @river-tides)

[amf-studios]

I turned the disphoria demon into a yokai!

We all know mirapo, right? Well, this is his much less helpful cousin, Kagameanie. (Kagami(Japanese for mirror)+ meanie).

Like Mirapo, Kagameanie is a ungaikyo, a demon mirror. While mirapo connect to eachother in a network, Kagameanie is... less helpful. They make people focus on the imperfections in their reflections, no matter how minor they may be...

In layman's terms, they give you dysphoria

Less extreme than the original myth twisting your reflection into a monster, but still ruins your day.

Kagameanie is a D rank, fire attribute, and a classic yokai of the Eerie tribe. His soultimate move is "self shatter" which inspirits opponents into attacking into their opponents.

I hope you enjoy the fankai, and the comic along with it! If you do, I take commissions, details on the blog

I have this Yo-Kai Watch headcanon that scientists are fully aware that Yo-Kai exist.

I mean they are scientists, I feel like they should be aware.

And anytime we have seen an scientist character In the games they could see Yo-Kai.

Coincidence? I think not!

Kyubi can’t actually pull off an entire conversation with multiple people without freezing up and that their charismatic personality is their only saving grace

…And I will hear no second opin—

Okay, but seriously, I honestly don’t think that Kyubi can pull off an entire conversation with multiple people at once without thinking of every possible worse case scenario and nearly giving themself a panic attack in the process and in the end, just straight up saying something stupid before dashing off

Like, sure, they might be able to pull off a conversation with like, one or two people, maybe even three or four (Assuming they knew a lot about the person(s)), but anything more than that, and their mind goes blank

I say this because Kyubi is based off a Kitsune, which, in Japanese Mythology, is a mystical fox known for possessing women and using them to seduce men, but in reality, foxes are INCREDIBLY skittish and scared as all hell of humans (As well as water, flashing lights, and loud noises) and in my au, animal Yokai (Or humanoid yokai based off animals more specifically) have both the traits of humans and the animal they are respectively based off

My conclusion?

Kyubi secretly has social anxiety and hides it using their charismatic personality and charm

I might draw this with their human form

There is no greater love than that of an autistic bisexual towards a pathetic fictional man with absolutely no rizz

a little extension/alternate scenario to my christmas mackei fic, if you’ve read it! this was sort of the product of all the ideas i have in my head for the hazeltine family, and i’ll offer some explanation for anyone who isn’t familiar ⬇️⬇️

in summary, buck hasn’t ever been too close to his dad. for the most part, his father has taken his career as a priority over taking care of his kids. even when interacting with them, his position has always been more authoritative than nurturing in any regard. if what interests them doesn’t align with what he finds to be productive, he shuts it down as soon as possible.

this can also include things that seem abnormal, from his perspective (which, as is far too often the case in real life, includes sexualities that deviate from the traditional standard). as a result, buck has always felt repressed to a deeper level than his non-academically focused skill set. for his dad, unfortunately, buck ends up turning into exactly the son he never wanted. comfortable rebelling in some ways, and absolutely paralyzed in others, buck ends up relying on nate for comfort as he figures out how to confront his father.

(this, of course, is mostly headcanon and extensions of the ways that i think some of buck’s actions could be explained a little further in the story!)

idk why but still giggling over Whisper and McKraken being bitter exs if you have more about that do tell

ADHJD GLAD YOU?? THINK SO?? (<< Giggling to myself as we speakgskded glad to know someone found my idea entertaining ^u^) I don't have terrribly too much, but a few things :) Putting this under a cut because it got LONG...WHOOPS....

ꨄ Honestly was ,keyword was...bites nails, more of a jokey thing with a friend of mine ;'u' I thought it was funny that Whisper just seemed to?? Especially dislike him??? Like ofc Whisper has his moments with other bosses/characters too where he says. Things (IE: "Now that we understand his tragic past, let's go remind him of it!") but. Idk it just seemed especially hostile with the squid </3

Mainly this vvvv and the fishbowl remark he says during the phase 1 confrontation, but I couldn't find my screenshot of that one...sobs

I mean. Whisper a simple hell no or 'I don't deal w meanies' would've sufficed,,,

ꨄ Probably met before McKraken got like suuuper into the whole yo-politics bizz or whatchamacallit. Still didn't like humans but it took a while for Whisper to realize "Oh he like Hates hates them...awkward" <<< guy whose job is to like. establish friendship between humans and yokai. More on this later

ꨄ They'd be terrible together. It'd be fun!! 😊👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽; if we're going under the assumption that the 'Whisper is Usuta' thing is true, then they would've been a brief thing aboutttt I wanna say 20 years before the events of ykw 1? Yur. So in yokai time it hasn't been long...yikes ^u^;

ꨄ First meeting! In my hc Whisper would've still worked under the previous Enma at this time and Squisker's been minister for a while yk, so it was probably at an Event of someeee kindddd....I'm not too good at politic stuff so imagine whatever you want. Partyish thing, meeting, rally, etc.

ꨄ They had different ideas on what would be best for all yo-kind, but could agree to disagree. Got along well enough beside that :) both formed a little mutual crush over the years and wanted to test something out. Went well for a decent while but then. Well when you get to really know a guy...

ꨄ Was not a clean break-off because it was funnier def made more sense. Couldn't tell you exactly how it went but Whisper left that night

ꨄ tfw a few years later your ex becomes the chairman of Yomakai and you gotta go to the human world to find the human for the one prophecy thing he hated </333

ꨄ And then that's where ykw 1 happens after a while etc etc.

OK THAT'S ALL THE YAPPING FOR NOW...IT'S LATE AT NIGHT HERE QuQ

^^^ Little doodle,,, will probably post more to the sillies group again later,,, BYE BYE

Carniboy and Herbiboy

My two underrated boys, here are some headcanons.

Herbiboy goes by the nickname "Herbie".

They have a slight Jekyll and Hyde thing going on. Carniboy is a form he takes when feeling confident, happy, romantic etc. While Herbie is the opposite. ( I'm thinking of making a design that's somewhere in between.)

Carniboy is a form he took a bit after the war when he got slightly older. He still kept his hat.

Pansexual
