Tuesday DE: This old thing?

[bjornwilde]

What is something you've added to your pup's canon?

ETA: As always with my topics, make of it what you will. My intention was more what have you to come up with that you've used in fic or OOMs. This can be physical objects, food preferences, aspects of culture, and the like. Sort of head canon, but more nitty gritty than meta. Bonus points if canon eventually used your ideas. :)

From Milli-canon, Ahsoka now loves sauces after meeting Cassian and tasting some of his.

With Sabine, I invented a musical genre called Mirialan minimalism which sounds suspiciously like the "Parasite Eve" soundtrack. It is not created by the Mirialan culture and might be viewed with disfavor there.

Jessica buys all the cheesy superhero merch of her friends she can find.

All of Zenigata's family history is mine, because he's never filled in and probably won't be. We only get scraps across variations of him, so... We do know that he's been around on Lupin's ass long enough that he knew Lupin when he was much younger, and long enough that when a young woman who was a near double of one of Lupin's past partners (and lovers) showed up, Zenigata recognized her despite knowing that said partner couldn't be that young anymore. So I give him about 20 years on the Lupin case, gave him some history before that, filled out his marriage / divorce / children from the scraps we got, and went from there.

Zuko and Firebenders are advised not to drink because they overheat easily -- and dehydrate easily, and that's my add in from millicanon.

Vex is a mesmer and we know they feed off humans with their hands. That's it, that's all we know. We don't know if it's like nearly every other Fae who touches someone -- or drains frmo a distance if they're especially powerful -- and that it takes the energy type from the human to the fae. IE, luck eaters consume luck and leave their victims unlucky. Vex is a mesmer, and they take your will, so the assumption that the people they feed on become weak-willed/physically weak is suggested, but never confirmed. Also had to fill in some of his relationships with his boss the Morrigan.

Lan Zhan's more complicated and i'm still thinking about things beyond his composition, things he did while Wei Ying was dead, and just how hard he told everybody else to fuck off.

Example 1, headcanon only - Bucky drinks black coffee. A lot of it. The stronger, the better. He's very much a fan of the particular coffee that Jay introduced him to a while back.

Example 2, for bonus points - As of the most recent OOM, two blankets, one purple and one green, have been obtained in Millicanon. Post timestamp: 22nd Feb 2021.

Anyone who's watching The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, I invite you to take a close look at the scene in the first episode where Bucky wakes up (I'm being a bit circumspect to avoid spoilers). Please note the number and color of the blankets present in that scene. Episode airdate: 19 March 2021.

For Sherlock, thanks to gifts from Jim Sherlock has expanded his musical instruments to the guitar family, specifically the vihuela.

Oh yes, and he married Jim. La la.

John is still shaping as a roleplay character, so I'm sure there will be more to come. He's friendlier in Millicanon than he is on either TV series he's been in so far. I justify this by 1)necessary to play the game and 2) John is safe in the bar, not worrying about demons, ghosts, or any other monsters no matter who he encounters. Basically, he's not haunted when he's in the bar.

well I am badly making efforts at a Twi'leki conlang lol

I also invented that Twi'leks prefer bitter/acidic tastes just based on a Wookieepedia article saying mynock is a specialty on Ryloth.

........ and honestly just a whole slew of Twi'leki culture/background history for Hera. Kanan's is more or less established between the comics and what we know about Jedi, and also I very much hate what the old EU did with Twi'leks and let's face it nothing spurs me on more than spite.

There are other things to be sure, but a big one was adding a couple of bad guys to Barry's rogues.

Camera Commander, a metahuman with the ability to control tech, was a guy was invented for Yamato's first trip to Central City. He currently resides in Iron Heights after Barry and Yamato brought him down. The show does get its own version later on named Kilgore.


And then Man-Man. A metahuman who has all the power and ability of TWO men before evolving into Man-Man-Man who ended up doing all the things including spitting acid and throwing fireballs.

It started out as a joke, and then turned into an actual bad guy when Yamato visited Central City again, and someday I will actually have to figure out what to do with the guy because he's currently hanging out in the S.T.A.R. Labs' pipeline cells.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato's rooting for Man-Man to one day achieve his true destiny and become Man-Man-Man-Man.

We know basically nothing about Gaster in-game, other than he's the former royal scientist, created the Core, and was basically erased from existence due to a failed experiment. Everything else is my own mish-mash - some borrowed from fanon, some my own. It's Free Real Estate, as they say.

Same deal as above with Urania. The Muses don't get fleshed out much in myth.

My version of Phoenix is absolute disaster levels of multiracial -White, Latino, Japanese - and is bisexual.

A bunch of years get skipped over in the Stolen Century arc in TAZ, and I definitely plan on making up some of my own worlds to fill it in. Apart from that, one headcanon is that Lup likes spicy food.

the best one i have is for an RP character from else-web: Mike Ross from Suits - i had headcanon'd/RP'd that he didn't know how to drive - since his parents died in a car accident when he was younger (like under 11), and his grandmother wouldn't have had a car or need to teach him. then in an episode titled 'Fork in the Road' - we find out that Mike never learned how to drive.

for Peter - usually just that he has very limited access to some Avenger records on stuff like missions. and that he sneaks into some other stuff and thinks Tony doesn't know (tho he probably does).

for Harry - unless i AU him... don't generally have to do a lot of headcanon'ing for him - the books have a fuckasston of info, plus WOJ via AMAs and convention Q&A's and stuff.
