What's your favorite headcanon?

[Gnoman]

Stacy's mom is Jesse's girl, I get.

The only other thing I have is Jenny from The Kids Aren't Alright if I recall lyrics correctly

At least, I hope that's the Jenny you are referring to if we are talking Offspring references.

Tommy Tutone.

Jenny (867-5309)

[Rogar Demonblud]

For those missing the other references, it's Fountains of Wayne and Rick Springfield respectively.

with Undying Undyne, who is the last hope of the monsters and Sans, who has lost most of his hope due to all the resets,

it makes total sense.

Some Forum patter inspired my headcanon on Stickverse Elves:

Remembering that Inkyrius and Vaarsuvius adopted their kids, my own headcannon is that with their long lifespans Elves live most of their lives without having a sex, or only a few Elves ever do, so there are few births among the Elves, maybe only Elves near the end of their long lives reproduce, and raising children is usually done by parents who adopt, or is very much a whole village endeavor?

Veldrina seems girlish, or child-like and of indeterminate gender rather than womanly to me,



and is referred to as a priestess by a Gnome, and as her by Wreccan, but that may be non-Elves assigning gender to Veldrina, and maybe she's just been away from Elves long enough that she's adopted non-Elvish ways and decided to be female.

Lirian is the only Elf who seems like a women to me,



other Elves look like they could be male or female to me.

In contrast to Veldrina, human women Beatrix "Bandana" Secundus



seems more like an adult women to me but at least one Playgrounder was suprised:

So wait, is Bandana a woman?

But yeah, I'm going with that Vaarsuvius is being a typical Stickverse Elf, and "gendered" Elves are a minority, but we really haven't seen much on Elvish ways yet other than V.





I just can't tell with the Elves, but I can other races, hence my headcannon.

My version is very similar, but rather than little sex, it's fewer heterosexual couples. My headcanon is that they have biological genders like humans but no gender norms or gender socialization, and secondary sexual characteristics are less pronounced physically and de-emphasized socially, and many elf couples fall in love before even finding out the gender of their significant other. Subsequently, the heterosexual pairings produce many children to make up the difference and they are adopted by elves who can't or won't have children (asexuality is probably also more common). Lirian is shunned or at least not considered attractive because of her more obvious gender, which is why she ends up in a relationship with a human.

Weird Al song headcanon: The subject of the song Eat It gets inspired by Al's performance and grows up to be the subject of Fat.

Wheel of Time

Spoiler: Because AES and his lets read

Show

Mat Cauthon is the hero that doesn't want to admit that he's a hero, he's a scoundrel that refuses to be tied down, but in a universe where everyone is reincarnated time and time again, and certain heroes are tied to the Wheel to be spun out when the world needs them most, it seems that Mat would refuse.

Publicly, and vocally? He absolutely would, but in his heart-of-heart where he keeps secrets even from himself? He desperately wants to save people. My head cannon is that Mat Cauthon is in fact, a Hero of the Horn. He's the Gambler, the Father-of-Battles, and a rogue to boot. When he dies, he's going to find himself in Tel'aran'rhiod and his first reaction is going to be "wtf Arthur Hawking lied to me" but Birgitte Silverbow will be there and look him in the eye and say "You belong here, do you truely want to be anywhere else?" and Mat looks at her, looks at his medallion and simply says "No."

I keep wanting to write a fan-fiction of that scene, but I've never been a big writer, and I know I can't do the scene the justice it deserves.

Batman doesn't kill, not out of any real moral reasoning(despite what he may say), but because he psychologically cannot: he is unable to bring himself to that final step. Fodder for this includes his inability to kill Joker (despite very much wanting to in some interpretations) and the scene in BTAS where a robot double of him commits suicide as soon as it believes it's killed him. He may give any number of reasons or justifications, but the true motive for his semi-pacifism is trauma.

Well, that and the whole "no-one dies in comics" thing, but I like that idea better.

[Ebon_Drake]

A popular Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines one that I like - Deb in "The Deb of Night" radio show is a Camarilla (probably Toreador) vampire, or at least a ghoul in their service. The point of her show is to help protect the masquerade by deliberately giving a platform for shouting out genuine masquerade violations, which then get buried amongst the crackpot conspiracy theorists, stoners and other assorted weirdos that also call in. In particular, the way she reacts when the Sabbat leader calls the show is very noticeable.

I'm aware that there was a first pilot for Game of Thrones that wasn't very good. Then they made a better one and the series sold.

My headcanon is that the first one had a five-minute scene of Peter Baelish explaining the politics, with two of his Master of Coin assistants in the background practicing their accounting skills.

[Bohandas]

The title character from Jimmy Two-Shoes is gay. This explains both his obliviousness to Heloise's advances as well as why, even though he is a good, moral, and benevolent person, he is in what appears to be Hell

[Bohandas]

In D&D, the verbal components for all charisma based spellcasting consist of shouting the name of the spell in a dramatic manner like in an anime

[Bohandas]

I don't think I realy adhere to this one myself but there's a fan theory out there that Totoro is really the grim reaper, based on similarities between the girls in the movie and the victims in a famous Japanese double murder case

[sengmeng]

Sergeant Schlock (from Schlock Mercenary) can rewrite, copy, and edit his own memories. He has not used this ability (as far as we've been shown) to forget traumatic experiences, but my headcanon is that he has been editing out useless boring stuff, and has gradually lost the ability to deal with boredom, resulting in the hyperactive and childish Schlock we know and love.

Sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic, and sufficiently controlled and understood magic is indistinguishable from science.

It's the lack of control and understanding that makes me think what I do.

[Knaight]

Sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic, and sufficiently controlled and understood magic is indistinguishable from science.

This is a much more valid statement when applied to actual science as it appears to people sufficiently unfamiliar with science, and not when applied to special effects with Science! (TM) branding and no actual scientific principles behind it. There it's a cop out.

The settings/inputs for the hyperspace ram attack in The Last Jedi took a significant portion of the time they were on to calculate

[Xatres]

I've always been a fan of the theory that James Bond is a title handed down to each agent designated 007 - that way each bond is actually a different character.

I can think of multiple meanings for "the time they were on," so I don't know what you're saying here until you clarify it. Do you mean the few seconds shown with Holdo at the control panel? The amount of time the Supremacy was in front of the Raddus? The amount of time(hours) the Supremacy was present at the battle? The amount of time (more hours) that people were onboard the Raddus? Some other period of time?

It's a mystery until you clarify.

It looks like my crap keyboard cut out a couple words there. I forget the exact wording I was looking for but the gist was that it took a significant chunk of that days long chase to calculate that maneuver and that;s why all their weapons aren't based on hyperspace ramming

This was actually explicitly the case in the 1967 version of Casino Royale

Ah, thanks. It makes sense that this is a headcanon, too. As this is yet another thing that could have explained some of the weird non sequitur parts if it had actually been in the text of the film.

Of course, my frustration is with Rian Johnson and others in control of the production, not with you.

But still... It definitely makes more sense then them all being the same character, and technically assuming no easy interdimensional travel to surprisingly similar alternate worlds it also makes more sense then them all being the same guy in different continuities. Not to mention the idea that they're all different people who are all the top agent of the British secret services and all happened to be called James Bond at birth. M would have started cracking jokes about that by the time the third one came in for an interview.

I agree that the theory makes sense. I just disagree with using the 1967 Casino Royale to support it.

[Gnoman]

The "different" James Bonds in the films are shown doing things that would only make sense for the "previous" James Bonds to be doing. This shoots the theory in the head even before you consider that the films are adaptations of novels, and it is the exact same person in every novel.

Those hints are very subdued, though. There are some allusions to a dead wife or a loved one that James could not protect. If you have seen On Her Majesty's Secret Service you can connect these hints to the events at the end of that movie but they could conceivably be just a common tragic backstory for people who live in constant danger. The only instance of irrefutable evidence for continuity across different James Bonds that I can thin of is the beginning of For Your Eyes Only where Roger Moore is seen standing next to the grave of George Lazenby's wife. Can you think of more such incidents?

Of course, the new movies go full out on continuity but as of yet, all those Bonds have been played by Daniel Craig.
