Headcanons!

[Oswin Oswald]

Post 'em here!

For those of you that are peasants and don't know, here is Urban Dictionary's definition for headcanon.

An idea, belief, or aspect of a story that is not mentioned in the media itself, but is accepted by either the reader themselves or the fandom in general. If it is confirmed by the author of the story, it becomes canon.

Basically, a headcanon is something that could be true about a character, but hasn't been confirmed in canon.

Post away!

[Regina Mills]

fekdhjkddfgdf i have so many omg. Most of them are probably gonna be Regina-centric since I've been putting serious effort into developing her character lately - and since I find her character itself so fascinating. But I'll post some for other characters too, though I've forgotten a lot of them. >>


Regina:

• That faint scar she has just above her lip? Yeah. Lana got that from scrappin' with her brothers as a kid. Regina got it as a result of Cora going a little too far using magic as a "punishment.
  
  
• Killing her father was probably the hardest thing she's ever had to do - but a part of her resents him for always pretending to be oblivious to how Cora treated her.
  
  
• BBY!REGINA's HORSE IS NAMED BREE. DON'T QUESTION IT.
  
  
• Younger!Less Evil!Regina and Jefferson used to be bffs and go on crazy hat adventures or something. Seriously. They are so bizarrely familiar with each other in 'Hat Trick', what with Jefferson being one of the few people to call her by her first name and Regina being so weirdly relaxed around him, that something had to have happened.
  
  
• Regina is the one that somehow trapped Cora in Wonderland, in an act of vengeance. Because Cora is legit the Queen of Hearts, you can't even tell me she's not.
  
  
• That moment when Regina snaps: When she realizes that Snow got Daniel killed, you can see that she's stunned and hurt and sad - but when Snow says "I'm sorry...I just didn't want you to lose your mother. The same way I lost mine.", I think that is when Regina's hatred sets in. And what's going through her head there as 'that's why you did this, isn't it? because you wanted a mother so much, and you made sure you were going to get what you wanted no matter what the consequences were.' VIDEO FOR REFERENCE HERE.
  
  
• Being bound/tied up/anything of that sort is sort of a trigger for her. Hello, childhood abuse.
  
  
• Regina designing the curse and everyone's new names and occupations and all of that was done through some Sims-like game
  
  
• She likes animals a whole lot more than people. Especially horses.
  
  
• She tends to despise her fellow monarchs, as a rule. She never wanted to be one of you, yo.
  
  
• After the adoption went through, the moment she first held her new baby boy in her arms was the happiest moment of her entire life.
  
  
• She gave Henry the middle name 'Daniel'.
  
  
• Her feelings for Snow aren't as one-dimensional as they appear to be. She actually has some protective maternal instincts left as far as Snow's concerned; but they constantly come into conflict with and are usually overpowered by the reasoning of her hatred. THIS STATEMENT WAS INSPIRED BY LANA PARRILLA BECAUSE LANA PARRILLA HAS THE BEST HEADCANONS.
  
  
• Her love for Henry filled the void the curse created in her heart. HEADCANON IS NOW TRUE CANON.
  
  

Anya:

• Her fear of rabbits comes from her subconscious, vehement hatred of her “first” human life (the one where she was living in Sweden and had a bunch of pet rabbits) before she became a vengeance demon. I think that over hundreds of years, she forgot what she even associated the rabbits with / what they reminded her of that she hated, and she just developed a sort of phobia of them.
  
  
• She still loves Xander. A lot. A part of her will probably always love him.

Vickers:

• Vickers liked Janek a lot more than she let on. She just didn’t really know how to show it without letting her guard down.
  
  
• The whole xenophobia thing she has going on is basically one big headcanon of mine, xD.
  
  
• She began working for her father’s company in the first place in order to compete with David. A part of her could never really accept that her own father favored a robot over his living daughter.

Phoebe:

• Phoebe still carries around a lot of serious guilt for Prue's death. And deep down she's sort of afraid that Piper blames her, too.
  
  
• She kinda misses being the baby of the family.
  
  
• If she knew what Cole did for her; how he helped her sort of get her life back on track with the whole Drake thing, she actually might be able to forgive him.

MORE TO COME PROBABLY.

[Oswin Oswald]

Oswin

• After being trapped for a year (or, thinking she was) Oswin has mild claustrophobia. Being enclosed anywhere without a way out, no matter how big or small the place is, will make her nervous. And that nervousness will escalate as long as she's trapped.
  
  
• See this? Oswin does this all the time in AM!verse. Just chills on the edge of the TARDIS while she's in space and watches galaxies go by. Like a boss.
  
  
• Also her room on the TARDIS somehow has a giant skylight. Don't question it. She likes to be able to see the stars before she falls asleep.
  
  
• Robots in general make her nervous, particularly ones that resemble Daleks in any way, shape or form.
  
  
• Oswin is under the impression that sleep is boring and therefore, she doesn't need a lot of it. In reality, she probably does, but yolo. Who needs sleep when you can time-travel?

Eponine:

• Eponine never actually prostituted herself in my head-verse. She came close to being desperate enough a few times, but always managed to avoid it. Her father wanted to try and whore her out to get money, and that was what drove her to run away and live by herself.

THERE WILL BE MORE HERE WHEN I CAN REMEMBER THEM.

[Once-ler]

Jumping onto this bandwagon of fun. Some of these are obvious, some of them not heard of.

Once-ler

• Greed hates the color pink, even though--funny enough--most Thneeds were pink.
  
• Greed smokes fine cigars.
  
• Greed likes to flirt with pretty girls.
  
• Once-ler & Innocent are oblivious to flirtation.
  
• Innocent likes to knit and sew.
  
• Once-ler has been to therapy for his relationship with his family.
  
• Once-ler's mom abused him emotionally as a child, think of it like he's Cinderella and Bret and Chet are his two step-sisters...well step-brothers.
  
• Greed hates the rain, it ruins his coat.
  
• Innocent and Oncie love the rain.
  
• Old Once-ler enjoys hot black tea with honey, sugar, and milk.
  
• Old Once-ler grew his mustache out to remind himself of the Lorax.
  

Sora

• Sora is oblivious to flirtations.
  
• Sora isn't dumb, he's just naive.
  
• Sora has tried to adopt animals from other worlds, but Donald wouldn't let him.
  
• Sora blames himself for what happened to Kairi and Riku during his adventures with Donald and Goofy. He beats himself up about the subject regularly.
  

Bruce Banner

• Bruce enjoys home cooking.
  
• Bruce listens to calming music and does perform yoga.
  
• Bruce feels his has a long lasting friendship with Tony Stark, even if he won't admit it. He sees Tony as that best friend/older brother figure.
  

[Sherlock Holmes]

Sherlock Holmes:

• Sherlock claims to be a sociopath and isn't, but he himself is not sure whether he's a sociopath or not. He tends to tell people he's a sociopath to push them away from him.
  
  
• Sherlock enjoys games involving deduction just because he can usually guess who it is after a couple of minutes.
  
  
• Sherlock may claim it's impossible to keep up a smoking habit, but if he were to have the means to do it he would certainly start smoking to help him relax.
  
  
• Sherlock actually has some feelings for both BBC!Irene and John. But, he refuses to admit it - even to himself.
  

Dean Winchester:

• Dean is a big fan of bad movies. It might confuse Sam, but for some reason he just loves terrible films.
  
  
• No matter what you are, if you aren't human Dean won't trust you unless you're with him for a long time. The only non-human he really trusts is Castiel.
  
  
• If given the option to stop hunting, Dean would keep going. This is not only because of his loyalty to his father, but because despite the terrible lives hunters live, he prefers it to a normal life.
  

MORE SOON C:

[Nyarlathotep]

Hazama

• Relius is the closest thing to a human relationship Hazama can have. I believe on some level, beyond mutual respect and acquaintanceship, they have some sort of sentimental fondness for one another, even though they would never admit it.
  
• Relius is naturally curious about Hazama, being the entity that he is, but Hazama's side of the 'friendship' isn't explored. I believe that Hazama likes Relius because he's both an extremely intelligent person, and because not only can he stand to be around him, but is also legimately curious about him without him needing to make him curious. And curiousity and interest are basically the only things that parallel 'friendship' in Hazama's mind, thus the connection.
  
• Hazama has a similar fondness for Hakuman, but for different reasons. Also, he hates Rachel, not just because she's a vampire, but because he is somewhat impressed by her and her father, and they don't think of him as anything other than a raving madman. In addition, they don't fear him, which he takes personally.
  
• Kazuma loved Platnum, and when he met Terumi, his base personality was slowly overridden. Traces of that relation still remain in Hazama, though.
  

Nyarlathotep

• Nyarlathotep is Azathoth's lost personality. When Azathoth ascended to the Blind Idiot God, his rational mind was made into Nyarlathotep, and all the Outer Gods serving Azathoth are somehow connected Nyarlathotep either biologically or mentally. This is also why he hates Azathoth, and most of the Outer Gods.
  
• It's the above qualities that make him extremely well suited for integrating into human and non-human existence.
  
• Nyarlathotep finds it extremely unpleasant to stay within a comprehensible state, aka, the first five dimensions. He views anyone who exists within them in a way similar to how a failing geometry student views points on a graph.
  
• Nyarlathotep is the only Outer God that cannot create life because he is a force of entropy.

Raidou Kuzunoha XIV

• The reason Raidou is so shy is because he's never really had a social life. Having trained to become a Summoner at an extremely young, none of the fellow Devil Summoners training in his shrine were his age. As such, Raidou is more mature than his age would suggest. He also never really had many friends because of this. Even when he enrolled in a school, his training took up so much time that he never really 'connected' with people.
  
• Raidou felt sympathy for Raidou Kuzunoha XL when they fought, and occasionally wonders if his actions were justified. Now that he is flung into AM and knows that World War II is on the horizon for Japan, he is conflicted on weither to alter the past as XL attempted to, or not.
  
• Raidou's excellent singing voice was fine tuned by High School musical productions.
  
• Raidou enjoys movies, especially French and American ones, and he speaks both languages fluently.
  
• Raidou contain his alcohol. At all.
  
• His dream? Perfect Hat.
  

[impact]

Goemon Impact:

• Impact is very close to his master, Goemon, and considers him much much more than just a good friend. In other words, he holds a strong crush to where he has the inexplicable need to be with him whenever he is around.
  
  
• He also has 100% trust in him to where he will not turn down any given commands, or open his mouth to say no. When it comes to who is piloting him, Goemon and his allies are the only four he will trust to control him. Anybody else will be denied.
  
  
• Impact is a philanthropist. This means he holds a strong, fond love for humankind and their society.
  
  
• His Astrological sign is Gemini.
  
  
• Impact’s chassis is composed both of mechanical and biological material.
  
  He possesses a fully functioning heart, complete with a circulatory system that cycles oil within his body. His brain is composed of a an organic CPU and a Hard-Drive with an astronomical amount of capacity for information. The data (memories, names, information, etc) are backed up through cloud storage to a system on his planet that is equally organic just in case if an emergency were to happen.
  
  His mind IS however capable of being changed, altered, or controlled.
  
  
• Impact is capable of speaking in both Binary and Hexadecimal machine language, as well as for English and different forms of Japanese.
  
  
• His taste of music ranges from Disco, House, Disco House, Soulful House, and Progressive House. Anything with a beat will make him dance. And speaking of dancing-- Impact is phenomenally good at it! It is speculated that he is the one who performed and sang for his theme song.
  
  
• Impact incorporates the art of dancing within his fighting style.
  
  
• He also runs a Dance Club on his Planet. It is very very popular.
  
  
• The explanation behind how Impact is both mechanical and biological is through how he was created. It was speculated that Monoshiri Ojisan was responsible for inventing him and the likeness that occupies his chassis. The truth is, he is only responsible for crafting his chassis.
  
  A long time ago, Impact was a living being, an alien who held the title of leader for his planet. When his planet was threatened by another force and war was imminent, Impact went to battle despite his pacifist ideals, won, and died a hero. His body crash-landed into Ancient Japan, high in the snow-covered mountains of Mount Fuji.
  
  Monoshiri Ojisan was on an expedition to investigate the anomaly that crashed into Mount Fuji, wanting to be the first to gather samples. Instead, he found the body of Impact, and felt mercy for the poor soul. At the time, Monoshiri was exploring robotics, so he wanted to see if he could transfer Impact’s memories into a machine body. Instead of creating a burial, he carried his body off back to his laboratory, and through years of hard work, he managed to craft a robot body based off of a design that he had been developing. Impact’s memories were successfully transferred. As Monoshiri befriended Impact, he kept up with the upgrades, leading to Impact’s current robotic appearance and the grand heroic colour scheme that decorates his chassis.
  
  One day, Monoshiri was curious to see how he would respond to a decision given to him, so, Monoshiri gave him complete free will. Monoshiri did not want him to be kept here against his will, so he explained to him that he was free to leave at any given moment. Impact, being extremely grateful for Monoshiri’s efforts of bringing him back to life and creating a body for him, chose to adopt Earth as his second home and help defend the human world.

[Alucard]

OKAY LET ME SEE IF I CAN HEADCANONS HERE! I will be adding on more as I can think of and/or remember them, all the time.

Alexander Anderson

• Anderson is actually older than he looks. A lot older than he looks. Like in the hundreds of years range.
  
• Anderson is no mere priest; he's some kind of truly divine agent or angel in human guise, or other powerful holy spirit/creatures.
  
• Anderson has deep ties to all things demonic and satanic in a past he can't remember, driving him to his irrational hatred and slaughtering of them.
  

Richard

• Richard doesn't really enjoy all of the senseless slaughter and chaos he causes. But he does it in such ridiculous ways, and feigns amusement for so long, it actually starts to bother him less and less, to the point where he can cope with it, and continue with his violent, psychopathic ways and keep his source of power and life flowing.
  

The Joker


Albert Wesker


Barry Burton

• Barry is actually a phenomenal coward. If it was just him on his own, with no one else to rely on or protect, or when he's seriously wounded or in great danger, this shines through, as he breaks down utterly, often breaking into tears and blubbering like a moron.
  

The Music Meister


Thor Odinson


Ridley


Alucard

• Alucard is much more human than he appears. While he'd never admit it openly, he deeply regrets everything he's done.
  
• Alucard actually can't eat anything solid, because of his changed physiology since becoming a vampire.
  
• Alucard does, however, have a taste for fine wine.

[Loki Laufeyson]

LOKI GETS HIS OWN POST

• The only reason Loki started training with magic was to make himself powerful, like Thor, and to gain Odin's attention.
  
  
• Loki resented Odin and Thor from a very young age, but he never quite realized it until later on.
  
  
• Loki, to experiment with his budding magical skill, messed with the creation of Mjolnir to make it's handle too short, although it was just mischief and he meant no harm.
  
  
• Loki, since being defeated by the Hulk, has become more wary of others in battle instead of believing he can defeat anyone.
  
  
• Before experimenting with magic, Loki tried to become as skilled as Thor in physical combat. It didn't work.
  
  
• Loki cares very little about Thanos and his command over him. In fact, Loki has been planning to kill or overthrow Thanos from the start.

• Jefferson owns an apron with the White Rabbit holding a pocket watch sewn on with "Don't Be Late!" embroidered on it. It was made by Grace.
  
  
• Jefferson and Regina used to be best friends.
  
  
• Cora never viewed Jefferson as a threat to Regina's future wedding plans, so he was allowed to visit her.
  

[Regina Mills]

As if Regina didn't have enough headcanons already lololol. BUT. As some of you probably know, I have a... 'thing' for psychology. And analyzing characters from a psychological point of view. And just sort of obsessing over people's psychological well-being in general. And I've always sort of thought this upcoming thought was sort of implied, but that OUAT would never be dark enough to go and spell it out - but this image really got me thinking about it in more detail than I ever have.

Warning: this might get dark. and uncomfortable.


Headcanon: Regina was sexually abused by her husband.

King Leopold, from what we have seen of him, is a kind and fair king under most circumstances. He completely adored his daughter, and wanted only happiness for his subjects. What we've also seen, however, is that he has never spared even so much as a single thought for Regina's happiness. He forces her into a marriage for ONLY Snow's sake. He completely ignores her in most of their scenes together - which would lead one to assume that he doesn't care much about her. However, in Sidney's episode, he reads her diary, and as soon as he thinks she's cheating on him, he has her locked away in her chambers. In the same episode, he ACKNOWLEDGES the fact that Regina is not happy, and that he's known this for some time, but he does absolutely nothing about it.

He just doesn't care about her. He never has.

I don't think it would be that much of a stretch to say that he probably forced her to have sex with him throughout their marriage - in that world and time period, it wouldn't really be looked on (at least by him) as 'rape', it'd just be something that a man's wife is expected to endure for him. It's not like it would be some horrible crime in his eyes.

But then you have Regina, barely even an adult by today's standards by the time she married Leopold - and how far she and Daniel went together is questionable. That is to say, she could have still been a virgin at the point when she married Leopold.

Think about the implications of that for a moment.

Yeah.

Now, getting to what really made me think, the psychological evidence: Regina shows so many symptoms of sexual abuse now that I'm rewatching some episodes with this in mind. Some of this comes from the writers, and some of it comes from Lana's acting choices, and it makes me wonder how much of it was intentional: Regina has difficulty showing affection. She's emotionally closed off. She seems to see sex as a tool to manipulate and control someone (take her relationship with Graham, for instance) and not as something that's meant to be loving and intimate. You could count her dependance on magic as substance abuse. She frequently dissociates whenever she feels threatened, reverting to 'the evil queen'.

She is also, in the rare instance that she grows to care about someone, almost suffocatingly protective of them. Now, that could just be because she lost Daniel, but a known manifestation of past sexual abuse is how fiercely the victim sometimes clings to people who are important to them. Unfortunately, Regina's relationship with Henry has definitely suffered because of this.

There are also these little things Lana does that make me wonder - the way Regina holds herself sometimes. When she's feeling vulnerable, she doesn't typically express it, but she does hold herself in a very specific way - she wraps her arms around herself, or kind of rests a hand over her lower stomach. People frequently come up with theories about how Regina had a miscarriage at some point, and while that would make sense too, that behavior being an instinctive way of making herself feel safer as a result of her being raped would most definitely fit the bill too.

I see this as a very, very private part of Regina's past - because it was a period of time in which she was not in control, and entirely at the mercy of someone else. Out of everything she might come clean about - Daniel's death, her mother's abuse, Rumpelstiltskin's manipulation - I think this would be something she's least likely to ever share with anyone. It also, in my mind, definitely helps to explain why her hatred towards Leopold and Snow (who was the initial cause of Regina being forced into this marriage) grew so strong over the years.


OKAY AAAAAND ESSAY OVER.

[Mituna Captor]

Mituna cannot fully remember the incident that caused him to lose his psychic abilities and gave him brain damage. When he tries to remember, his brain scatters around the bits and pieces still inside his head. It hurts him to remember, causing him pain, and terrible red and blue erratic flashbacks.

The memories can come in via a dream and trying to remember the event to tell others.

If he's sent into trying to remember, his eyes will flash white--since he is dead they have no color to them--and the images terrify him. Most events cause him to curl up in a ball screaming in horror--his body remembering the event, while his imagination is still trying to put the scattered pieces back together.

[Death]

Death

Death secretly holds a small bit of pity towards souls that die young. He will never show it outwardly towards others, but upon reaping the soul he will apologize for their untimely death, and state that this wasn't the death time he slated for them.

Death also tends to make "Friends" with creatures not allied with Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory. (If you know nothing about that "war" he'll like you even more.)

/Like Kalypso, he enjoys her company because she is an angel that couldn't care less about what's going on upstairs. Also, he holds pity towards her since she was reaped before her slated time. They're totally bros/

He also inwardly enjoys the company of those who respect him and treat him kindly. Meaning, if you respect him, he'd happily have lunch with you, especially if there's junk food involved.

[Mithos]

Because hahaha I like giving myself Mithos feels and I've gotten a few of these.

• In the original process to become an angel, one didn't lose the ability to sleep - Mithos selectively added it after discovering just how many nightmares he had after Martel's death.
  
• His spirit should have been absorbed into Lloyd's exsphere. When he's feeling really morbid he wonders if he would have been happier, watching the worlds reunite and slowly losing his grip on his consciousness.
  
• Mithos does not deal well with children, especially orphans. They remind him too much of himself and what he went through. He can't fool himself - he knows that he has done the exact same thing to thousands of innocents.
  
• Besides being a magical prodigy, he's really good at playing all woodwind instruments. It became something of a hobby while he was travelling to save the world.
  
• What he misses most after his death - other than Martel and a chance to bring her back, obviously - are his pacts with the spirits. After having them for so long, he feels very cut off from the world.
  
• Despite all his efforts to convince Raine and Genis to join him, he somehow wasn't all that surprised when they refused. After all, everyone else disappointed and betrayed him.
  
• Besides, he could never imagine them as angels anyways.
