Tell Me Your Headcanons

[Kim]

For any media, including games.

(Headcanons being your own personal canon for a work or franchise or character or whatever)

The thing I have the most headcanons for is Metroid, more specifically Samus.

My Samus is closer to her original incarnation than her short, scrawny Other M one, tho I also think of her as havin lovehandles. She spends all her free time loungin around in her ship in just a tank top and panties. Her ship is a mess. Wires and cables all tangled up, and instead of a bed she has a pile of blankets and dirty laundry as her nest.

She eats mostly microwaveable food or gets quick meals from space drive-thrus at like Space McDonalds or whatever. She takes forever to throw things away so there's a lot of loose candy wrappers and empty Space McDonald's bags lying around. She has a ratty old couch that she chills out on and watches TV on. She mostly just watches old VHS tapes of 80s anime. Her TV is from the late eighties too.

When she's really bored, she'll sometimes hit up a bar and fool around with someone, then never call them again. She doesn't care about gender or even if their human. Just if they seem fun.

Once every couple weeks she'll do dishes and clean up a bit, but it doesn't last long.

Samus smokes a couple cigarettes a day. She'll smoke while on missions too, but if anyone else is on the mission with her they always hassle her about it.

She also drinks, always buying the cheapest beer she can find and always regretting it.

She only really gets her missions through the federation, so she has lots of free time between the important stuff. If a mission sounds boring or she's just not in the mood, she won't even respond to the request.

Event Horizon is a 40k prequel.

The Thrawn/Empire trilogy is the true sequel to the Star Wars series.

And DMC2 didn't happen!

That is all.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

The alt-universe Bruce Wayne seen at the end of the pre-Crisis "To Kill A Legend (http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/1361880.html)" is specifically the Bruce Wayne/Batman of either the TV series or the 'Batman '66' comics.

[mauve]

And DMC2 didn't happen!
I think that's EVERYONE'S headcanon.

Arkham Origins takes place in an alternate universe from the rest of the Arkham series.

The TF2 mercs are basically immortal as long as they remain on the battlefield, thanks to Mann Co technology. Judging by the in-game character dialogue, most of the mercs are aware of the fact that they are killing the same nine dudes over and over again and watching their same eight companions die over and over again, and some of them have probably put two and two together and figured this out. They are brought back from the dead by an advanced version of the immortality machines developed by Engineer's ancestor for the Mann twins. Current engie Dell knows this and has most likely worked on this respawn generator for his team. Grey Mann has no idea it exists, since he can't figure out how nine people managed to hold back his entire army of robots, and it probably runs on the Mann Co supply of Australium he's been searching for in the comic series.

That is quite the head cannon.

A lot of people have this headcannon, but Kirby is basically the most powerful being in existence that has toppled the embodiment of nightmares, multiple entities that could cross dimensions with no issues, and a giant living planet made of FUCKING DARK MATTER. He is also incredibly dangerous, since he will go on a warpath if so much as interrupt his snack time.

If an actor or actress plays a very similar character from one show to another, i assume they are the same character and something epic happened behind the scenes to make them chance their lives.

That means that the goofy dad from The Adventure's of New Christine is actually Agent Coulson's secret Alias, which makes Old Christine actually Elaine Bennes, which technically makes Seinfeld a Marvel Character that is a superman fanboy.

I'm expanding the Marvel Unniverse in unique ways in my head...

[Ryong]

Like most bosses in Dark Souls 2 have a fragment of a soul from a Dark Souls 1 being, I believe that the Emerald Herald has a fragment of Priscilla's soul.

The Middle shows the family the Janitor from Scrubs had and we never knew. He worked two jobs for a long time.

All characters in games are aware of the fact that they're in a game and can't do anything to escape their Sisyphian hell.

It warms my burnt up crusty heart to think about it.

[Solid Snake]

I really like the crazy but surprisingly popular theory that Squall actually dies at the end of Disc 1 of FFVIII, and the rest of the game is basically him fantasizing in his last few seconds of life, or in the afterlife. It is literally Squall's 'Final Fantasy.' It explains a lot of sudden shifts in characterizations in Disc 2, as Squall tries to resolve everything to his benefit. Rinoa suddenly drops Seifer and falls for Squall because he likes her and wants those feelings to be reciprocated; Seifer becomes an unambiguous villain because Squall hates him; Laguna, who Squall had these weird fantasies about, is Squall's father because Squall wants to justify why he had those visions and wants a father figure in his life; Edea is redeemable because Squall wants to redeem her; Squall frequently saves the day and becomes vastly more competent, and meteorically rises through the ranks of leadership despite his personality flaws because that's what he wants; the entire awful "We were all raised in the orphanage!" scene is actually about Squall desperately seeking meaning and seeking to validate his friendships with otherwise random people in his life; he gets to go to the Moon because who the fuck wouldn't want to dream that?

Ultimecia, who suddenly appears as the main antagonist, is actually the personification of death itself, a representation of Squall coming to grips with his actual demise. The kooky scenes of Squall wandering around a barren wasteland after 'defeating' her is actually Squall confronting his soon-to-be-terminated existence, the finality of death and the loss of his soul; he's realizing that this fantasy has been false all along, that he's been deluding himself. Then he's reunited Rinoa and the others, only it's in the afterlife, either actually a heaven where Squall is reunited with the souls of his friends, or some kind of Matrix-style afterlife where Squall gets to chill with versions of the characters in a happy place conjured in his own heart or some shit. I think it just represents Squall making peace with his death, accepting the fantasy for what it was, and either continuing to perpetuate that fantasy for his own peace of mind, or actually ascending to heaven after his time in purgatory.

This interpretation of FFVIII, if it were accurate, would actually elevate FFVIII to one of my favorite FFs, which is certainly why it's just headcanon and not actually true.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Its my headcanon that Braid has nothing to do with the atomic bomb at all because the idea of that is fucking stupid.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Not my own writing, and not for a particular piece of media so much as media in general, but it does express a point I've agreed with for a while. Source post (http://meganphntmgrl.tumblr.com/post/74431995485/im-starting-to-think-that-instead-of-vampires-as)

I’m starting to think that instead of vampires as a metaphor for oppressed people, we really need to start using vampirism as a metaphor for privilege.

Like, yes, you’re a vampire and you probably can’t help that, and sometimes people will freak the fuck out when you’re coming at them even if it’s just to ask if you can borrow a cup of sugar for your blood muffins or something, and you’re like, “Hey, don’t judge me just because I’m a vampire!”

And then a human’s like, “Um, well, historically, vampires tend to attack us humans and drink our blood.”

And sure, your first instinct is to go “Hey, I’m one of the good vampires! I have a subscription service at a blood bank and everything!”, but… that… doesn’t change the fact that historically, yeah, vampires have survived by eating humans. Any changing perception of vampires is going to have to start with vampires.

So instead of protesting your innocence, you have to start by going to find other vampires and being like “Hey guys, we have to stop eating humans.”

And unfortunately, a lot of vampires are gonna think they’re already doing everything they need to to be Good Vampires, and this needs to be combatted. Being a Good Vampire is a never-ending struggle, and it’s not very rewarding, but it’s what has to be done.

And some humans will never, ever stop being suspicious of you, and you’ll have to accept that. Humans don’t owe you their respect just because you’re doing them the basic service of not flapping into their bedrooms at night and biting their necks. That’s like, the bare minimum of not being an asshole vampire. And some humans will probably still make jokes about how vampires can’t go in the sun without burning up and how they have no reflections and how for some reason they think “Alucard” is actually a cute baby name, but you’ll just have to deal with that, because they’re coping with the fact that this is an entire population of things that historically have always eaten them.

But it’s not about you. It’s about making the world safer for humans, and combatting it every damn time you see another vampire planning out a good old-fashioned round of feasting on virgins in nightgowns, and saying “Okay, no, that’s really offensive” the next time one of your vampire buddies refers to a human as a bloodbag, and generally working overtime to present a pro-human standpoint.

Because really, what good does it do to make the monsters the oppressed ones?

[Ryong]

Its my headcanon that Braid has nothing to do with the atomic bomb at all because the idea of that is fucking stupid.

Given the creator's reaction of "You don't get it." when people said "oh so it's about the atomic bomb" I think it's fair to assume that headcanon is better than anything the creator could come up with.

Rinoa suddenly drops Seifer and falls for Squall because he likes her and wants those feelings to be reciprocated; Seifer becomes an unambiguous villain because Squall hates him; Laguna, who Squall had these weird fantasies about, is Squall's father because Squall wants to justify why he had those visions and wants a father figure in his life; Edea is redeemable because Squall wants to redeem her; Squall frequently saves the day and becomes vastly more competent, and meteorically rises through the ranks of leadership despite his personality flaws because that's what he wants; the entire awful "We were all raised in the orphanage!" scene is actually about Squall desperately seeking meaning and seeking to validate his friendships with otherwise random people in his life; he gets to go to the Moon because who the fuck wouldn't want to dream that?

Rinoa has barely known either Seifer or Squall by that point, though. Seifer also shows up allied to super evil sorceress. Also, the game never actually says that Laguna's Squall's father. Everything else is excuseable via Squall being the protagonist and obviously pulling through everything.

I didn't say it was a good excuse.

Also why the hell is "everyone's in purgatory" such a common fan theory?

[Solid Snake]

Aww man, Ryong, you won't even let me have my own headcanon? :P

[Krylo]

Also why the hell is "everyone's in purgatory" such a common fan theory?

Because people just want Squall to be dead.

[Ryong]

Aww man, Ryong, you won't even let me have my own headcanon? :P

Purgatory headcanons are just weird.

See: Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy purgatory fan theory.

Because people just want Squall to be dead.

But Squall is such a great character in kingdom hearts.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Given the creator's reaction of "You don't get it." when people said "oh so it's about the atomic bomb" I think it's fair to assume that headcanon is better than anything the creator could come up with.

Man that makes zero fucking sense that game is obviously about a dude with time travel powers who uses them to stalk and creep on some girl there is literally no other alternative that makes an iota of sense.

Also in Assassin's Creed 3 I like to think that Connor bathes in like, deer blood or something because the bears and wolves and shit of the forests of New England really seem unnaturally aggressive and it seems to have no other reason or purpose than dragging out the forest segments/jamming in more QTEs.

[Solid Snake]

Because people just want Squall to be dead.

Honestly, even if the Squall's-dead headcanon ended with him being revived or something, it'd still be a better game by sheer virtue of explaining all the ludicrous coincidences in the latter portions of the game as part of Squall's overactive imagination.

[Ryong]

Honestly, even if the Squall's-dead headcanon ended with him being revived or something, it'd still be a better game by sheer virtue of explaining all the ludicrous coincidences in the latter portions of the game as part of Squall's overactive imagination.

Here's a super great explanation: Bad writing.

I don't mind the "future sorceress sends her consciousness back in time for magic bullshit shenanigans" nor "we were actually all in an orphanage and just forgot because our summons cost memory". Sure, that second one you could only find out if you read the terminal, but it was part of their training, it just feels right that they go "oh fuck, Irvine you're totally goddamn right" exactly because it deals with memories and they're trained to just deal with it because it's just a weapon they use.

It'd have been nice if someone mentioned that monsters come from the moon prior to Lunar Cry and Zell going "oh yeah monsters totally come from the moon btw". Also, what's up with Esthar in general? Also, I always felt that the music in FF8 was much more powerful than the events that accompany it.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Oh yeah also in Frozen I like to imagine that when Elsa sent Hans back home she also sent his brothers a letter that said something to the effect of "Hey here's your little brother execute him for me or you'll never see the sun again kthxbye."

Like, if Elsa was willing to cut off trade relations with that Duke guy (apparently her kingdom's largest trading partner) for ineffectually trying to kill her, then you can't convince me that she'd just let the guy that literally almost beheaded her (and tried to kill her younger sister) off with just a slap on the wrist.

[Solid Snake]

Maaaan I just don't understand getting so worked up arguing against someone's headcanon.

Like, it makes sense to argue if I were to declare that Squall dying at the end of Disc 1 was my actual objective interpretation of canon intended by FFVIII's writers, because then I'd clearly be delusional, but I've actually conceded the opposite, namely that yes, it's absolutely true that everything that happened in FFVIII is intended to be 'real' and that Squall isn't killed there.

My headcanon just transforms a game I'd despise into a game I honestly wouldn't mind playing again some time.

[Kim]

I haven't watched Frozen but my headcanon is that the sisters totally makeout after the movie ends

yeah throwin a fit about someone's headcanon is against the point of this thread

[Ryong]

I'm not throwing a fit about your headcanon. I only talked about how the "sudden changes" weren't that sudden and also had begun in the first disc.

My other post is just commentary on FF8's writing.

Sorry if it seems antagonistic, that was not my intent.

[Krylo]

Exalted:

The void is actually just a portal to Nigruna, the Shinma of Existence (who defines existence by not existing).

Foffles is actually the most heroic (canon) figure in Exalted, and took the deal with the Neverborn because he knew no one else would know about Deathlords and someone had to stop them--he has spent the last few thousand years purposefully fucking up everything they do and scaring the other deathlords out of doing anything too big or overt. The Neverborn know this, and his punishments (and those of Magnificent) are attempts to make him hate creation enough to honor his promise. It's also why he was punished for his part in stopping the plague but Eyes wasn't.

There's lots more but they aren't as interesting and/or would require spoiling potential plot points if I ever GM exalted again (which I probably won't, but yanno).

Flash Gordon:

Ming the Merciless actually just really wants to fuck Flash and just keeps trying to kill him in a 'If I can't have him NOBODY can' thing.

Dragon Age:

Flemeth is an Old God, which is why she wanted to preserve the spirit of Urthemiel, has her own dragon form, has been around for so long, and was able to escape death from the Warden by putting a piece of her spirit in a necklace.

The Maker is dead.

Andraste was an abomination who was bound with a very powerful spirit of hope or freedom or some such nonsense, which is how she performed all of her miracles. Being the 'Bride of the Maker' was a euphemism for joining with this spirit. When she was killed, so was The Maker.

Corollary: The seat of the maker as a massive font of power in the center of the fade DOES exist, and WAS corrupted by the magisters leading to the dark spawn and the corruption of the Old Gods (who used to be alright, if maybe a little dark/unknowable, instead of trying to exterminate all life).

Addendum A: Hawke ended up going through the Eluvian Merril was repairing and ended up there.

Addendum B: Warden going through the Eluvian with or after Morrigan is most canon ending.

Addendum C: All the Dragon Age games are leading to a plot taking place at the font of the maker where the corruption is cleansed, or attempted to be cleansed, by a team up of Hawke, the Warden, and whomever you play in Inquisition and whatever other games.



Annnnd I dunno, there's more head canons I've developed but I can't think of any right now.

[Kim]

Your Dragon Age headcanons are good and I like them

[Loyal]

I'd like to believe that in the Warcraft universe, basically everything after WC3 w/rt continued factional divides is, directly or indirectly, the fault of the player characters.

Languages are actually really, really easy to pick up, and the language divide only actually exists among small children and the PCs. Orcs and Humans and Night Elves and Forsaken (especially Forsaken) can talk to each other with no problem, when they aren't murdering each other over one slight or another.

It turns out your player character is actually just really dumb and/or lazy. They have no interest in being a productive member of society, or learning more than the bare minimum required to interact with their fellow faction-members, and really just want to fight, all day long. Which is something they're very, very good at.

Especially against other PCs.

The vast majority of people, Horde and Alliance, want to just live out their lives in peace, but via the continued violent action between the PCs, the faction leaders see fit to continue escalating the war efforts, building weapons of war and recruiting in ever greater numbers, since their people are dying on the front lines, dammit.

Sure, in their fighting, the rank-and-file soldiers will do battle, and die, and make some small gains here and there. But absolutely nothing compares to the swathes of death and fury your character leaves behind when they tear through an enemy camp, singlehandedly and in mere minutes, tipping the balance of power wherever they go. Thereby spurring further escalation.

Uhhh....

Flemeth is an Old God, which is why she wanted to preserve the spirit of Urthemiel, has her own dragon form, has been around for so long, and was able to escape death from the Warden by putting a piece of her spirit in a necklace.

Annnnd I dunno, there's more head canons I've developed but I can't think of any right now.

Hmm, I thought the Flemeth thing was actually canon. I heard about this months ago, but it's interesting to see it come up again.

That's an interesting taking on The Maker though and actually makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised though if they bullshit up some excuse. As for what type of spirit, you'd have to go by the Seven Virtues, so maybe Hope, like you mentioned or Faith. (Either one works.) It also wouldn't be surprising if the Faith wrote up those scriptures as a control method for the populace and simply used (malevolent spirit)abominations to cement their position on on controlling mages.

The fact that people feel the need to use blood magic might also be a ploy by the Faith. As a reason to have the Templars and secure their own power position in order to create Theocratic Oligarchies(Or Police States). Commander Meredith in the second one is a good example. As was probably the Archmage for how they force Mages into a corner to rely on Blood Magic, so the Templars can continue to use them as examples for why the Faith should be on top. I could be completely wrong though and maybe she was just a well intentioned extremist who went too far.

As for the Imperium and their version... I don't think I have anything for that, since the games haven't elaborated much on them outside of: They can use blood magic freely, they can own slaves, they caused the Blights and they use to be the number one empire. All in all, a bunch of aristocratic mages that think pretty highly of themselves.

My Own HC stuff:

I can't really contribute one of my own, but one big one I've seen floating around was the VR Theory for MGS 2, which does make a whole helluva lot of sense.

[Marc v4.0]

Like most bosses in Dark Souls 2 have a fragment of a soul from a Dark Souls 1 being, I believe that the Emerald Herald has a fragment of Priscilla's soul.

My Dark Souls 2 headcanon is that the PC Undead is high as almighty balls, and that's how taking an elevator up from a windmill with open sky above it leads you to end up in the middle of a fucking volcano.

[Kim]

Holy Shit so official art of slightly older Ken Amada from Persona 3 (https://31.media.tumblr.com/d01223d6311d23f2d04cbe1de08d2755/tumblr_n5xcmrdNch1qbhsfoo1_1280.jpg) came out and not only is he a babe but now I'm headcanoning him as a closeted trans woman.

[Ramary]

His shadow's eyes are PARTICULARLY creepy.

Also will Koromaru's shadow have a big self reflecting monologue...entirely in woof woofs?

[Arcanum]

Halo:
Despite the fuck ups with the dates, my headcanon is that the game Halo: Reach takes place before the events in the book. The covenant forces that you fight during the game is an advanced strike team (thus also explaining their unique weaponry not available in the Halo games that take place later in the chronology) which gets mopped up as the Pillar of Autumn heads into orbit at the end of the game. The Spartan IIs are kept in the dark about it because they have a more important mission at hand and higher ups don't want to risk their lives when the S3 team can take care of it, and bring Cortana to the ship. Once in orbit, the events of the book take place, where Cortana is performing the final systems check on the Autumn, and they start heading out of system as the main Covenant fleet shows up. At which point they turn around, and deploy the S2s to defend Reach.

Dark Souls (2) / Demon Souls: (here be extensive spoilers. Like, consider this whole bit spoilers)
They actually take place in the same world. In Demon's Souls there's the broken Archstone in the Nexus, which leads to the Land of the Giants. In Dark Souls 2, giants are kind of a big deal. But more importantly: The Old One was a giant tree-like thing, on an ashen beach. My theory is that zone is Ash Lake, and to keep the Old One sealed away for good (or slumbering forever) the Maiden in Black broke him apart and scattered him across Ash Lake, where each piece grew into one of those trees. Soul arts were lost to humanity (according to Demon's Souls end-game text for the good ending).

Your player character becomes a Monumental to hold the fabric of the world together, but when he/she dies then the world starts to fall apart, and the Dark creeps in through those seems. Light is eventually extinguished, but there are those strong enough to survive in such a harsh world, which are the Giants, the Dragons, the Serpents, and Gwyn and his kin (and maybe others). And the rest is known through Dark Souls' beginning cutscene and various lore, and Seath's discovery of Sorceries would actually be the rediscovery of Soul Arts.

This also leaves the possibility of the Dark Soul being connected to the Maiden in Black. The spell you can create with her soul is Soul Sucker, which siphons souls from enemies. The Dark Sign siphons souls when you die, so if her soul became the Dark Soul, and if the Dark Sign is an effect of the Dark Soul on humanity, then you can have the correlation right there. Not to mention she was the oldest and strongest demon, so she could have been spawned from the Dark before the Monumentals found a way to keep it at bay.

Also, this gives an explanation for why the giants suddenly wanted to invade and destroy Drangleic. They knew of Nashandra's affiliation with the Dark, having survived through an Age of Dark before the Age of Fire, and were pursuing her in an attempt to stop her from bringing about another Age of Dark. Which is why she knew the Giants were going to attack Drangleic, because they would have followed her there.

This is probably full of holes, but to be fair most of the details I thought out as I was writing this. Before I typed it up I had just thought "hey the broken archstone led to the land of giants, and there's an emphasis on giants in Dark Souls 2, it would be neat if they were actually in the same world." Also if I had played King's Field I'm sure I could fit in some King's Field lore into this headcanon, but I have not, so it's not there.

My Dark Souls 2 headcanon is that the PC Undead is high as almighty balls, and that's how taking an elevator up from a windmill with open sky above it leads you to end up in the middle of a fucking volcano.

That elevator is totally an optical illusion (or magical illusion, not that much of stretch), and you're actually descending into a volcano instead of ascending.

[Locke cole]

I believe that Termina, the land seen in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, is a province of, or different country within the same world as, Lorule, the kingdom explored in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

My main reason for this is that, in some places in Termina, you come across the inverted Triforce symbol that is also seen in Lorule, a symbol of that land's similar Triforce. The two lands are also each strange mirrors of Hyrule as explored in Ocarina of Time and A Link To the Past, respectively.

The reason that most sticks, for me, is how, at the end of A Link Between Worlds, it's revealed that long ago, the leaders of Lorule, in a bid to quell eternal war and strife caused by people fueding over the Triforce and attempting to sieze its power, destroyed it. In doing so, they inadvertently doomed their land to a slow, rotting death by removing the gifts that kept it alive. Termina was a land that felt somewhat less alive than Hyrule, in some ways. Sure, a lot of it was due to the Skull Kid's curse, but there were already some curses and decay woven into the world, especially around Ikana. Majora's Mask takes place a great many years before A Link Between Worlds, so I feel like Termina is an example of the world only a scant few years after the Triforce was broken; before the slide into ruin became really overpowering and readily apparent.

[Magus]

Bruce Wayne was actually driven insane by his parents' death and his adventures as an enigmatic dark detective who dresses as a bat and uses high-tech weaponry are simply the waking dreams he has doped up in Arkham Asylum. This explains the massive continuity errors inherent in New 52 timelines.

This is in comparison to the other headcanon theory that Bruce Wayne died in Crime Alley and his continuing adventures are simply the hallucinatory effects of his brain dying.

[Ryong]

massive continuity errors

In comic books? whoddathunk.

Totally this for Majora's Mask

[character] is dead, huh?

[Bells]

They do make a very compelling case in that video though

[Kim]

My only Majora's Mask headcanon is that Tingle is Termina's Link

[Red Mage Black]

That's a very very scary thought, Kim. Ultimately wouldn't be very surprising though, since like that, he turned out to be a flamboyant, fairy obsessed and balloon riding cartographer. Since Link already travels around enough as it is. One wonders if you used reality, how strong his legs would actually be or his arms, judging by how much in every game, he swings around a massive hammer or other bludgeoning object. (That ball and chain from TP, for instance.)

Like, Majora's Mask establishes that there's a parallel to every character in Hyrule in Termina. Except there's not Tingle in Hyrule and there's no Link in Termina. They both wear green. Link grew up thinking he was a one of the forest children. Tingle thinks he's a fairy. Plus, Tingle's had a game where he's the hero.

[Bard The 5th LW]

I lack a playstation 3 so I have no real access to Demon's Souls, but from what I've seen I like to think there is a connection between the two partially due to some visual similarities to the Old One and the Bed of Chaos, who are both basically giant trees heavily associated with Demons.

Well Tingle SORTA appears in Hyrule in Wind Waker, albeit a post-apocalyptic flooded Hyrule. I kinda like to think Kafei is Link's alternate if just because Kafei is one of the only characters besides Link that you actually get to play as, and he is also an adult trapped in a child's body while in Ocarina of Time link is a child trapped in an adult's body.

[Kim]

Bed of Chaos is the Witch of Izalith, who was punished for trying to turn one of the archtrees into a new fire to replace the dying first flame.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Yeah I know its the Witch, I just like to think that the repeated imagery implies some sort of connection between the two.

[Kim]

Old One is less of a tree and more of a forest tho

Alex Mercer in Prototype 2 was actually the Supreme Hunter from Prototype 1, that had regenerated with some of Alex's pool of memories. The real Alex Mercer is in another city entirely, and is unaware that the events of the sequel are even happening. The Alex Mercer skin is a "what if?" that he found out.

I believe that the Chosen undead in 1 and 2 of Dark Souls are the same person. They didn't light the fire, and found that there was no end to their undeath curse, so they wandered in search of it....for a very, very long time, and eventually the lack of souls and drive wore away their will and memories, leaving them near the breaking point- which is why they begin back at square one at the beginning of the game.

Generally, any time in a game I'm given a lot of choices in terms of good or evil or plot progression, and yet they still railroad certain plot points or endings regardless of my choices, logical or not, I tend to "repair" things by having my own headcanon to make up for the more dumb things PCs will do when not under my control and in Cutscenes. Or if they die/disappear/turn evil "off screen" for silly reasons other than some new writer thought it'd be cool.

More recently I played a Oblivion Mod called "Tears of a fiend" that's entire premise was "Hey, all that cool stuff you do? It's all because you're secretly a demon in a mortal body, you just don't remember it and you're really a demon bad person."

And if you go up to the demon in your head and say "I'm not you, you gave me nothing, all my achievements are mine", you character is immediately possessed by the demon, because apparently you were in denial and thus more possessable than "Hey, cool, I was once a demon, but I wanna do my own shit." and thus I deleted the mod after finishing it because my character was a self-made thief who punched out demigods and Daedra. I do hate when games give you a character that you define, but then tell you to shut up and THIS is who you are, so I was annoyed.

The character in question is a bit of Head-Canon too, as I've modded out my game a bit, and thus thanks to MorrOblivion, my wood Elf is not only absconded with the title of "Nerevarine" but also "Mad God Sheogorath", and is on a mission to defeat as many Daedra and god-like beings with just her fists. She has thus far punched out Mehrunes Dagon (with Wabbajack help), Sheogorath/Jygallag, Vivec, Almalexia, (Sotha Sil got tea-bagged, but sadly avoided being defeated by being murdered), and Hircine's personal avatar at full power. When I get skyrim, she'll wake up after Thousands of years of nappytime and letting the timey-wimey dragon break alternative self Sheogorath take up the job of being Duke of Mania, and beat up some dragons and Alduin with the good ol' fistycuffs.

Also, the yellow Yoshi in Yoshi's Island is actually a doof, because he keeps being given a baby and goes through an entirely optional castle on the way to the important, Key holding castle. I call him "Danger Prone Yellow."

The plot of Binding of Isaac is actually entirely in Isaac's head, his mom and co have no actual plans to kill him, he just believes that they do because his name is Isaac and he's read the bible story, and as such plays out disturbed fantasies about his being sacrificed and dead, up to pretending that he's killed himself.

My other HeadCanon is that I combine a bit of Metro 2033 with Fallout, in that I believe that the bombs did not just blow up the world, they blew up reality- and now everyone has reality warper powers. The world of Fallout is actually built up heavily based on pure belief- the reason why you're smarter at science with nothing but a lab coat is because you believe that you're more like a scientist and this translate to actual extra science skill.

We get special weapons that have better stats and abilities because they are designed better, made out of better materials...but more often than not you'll get a tomahawk or a particular named weapon that not only shoots, but also does insta-kill, sets the enemy on fire, etc. And killing a smart guy and wearing HIS glasses gives you more INT and PER than ordinary glasses.

So, the reason why everything works in fallout? The Placebo effect. Why is Nuka Cola so refreshing 100 years old? Because all the old advertisements talking about how great it is. Why do people explode messily when you shoot them with a pistol? Because the player expects them to.

The world of Fallout has more in common with Genius: The Transgression, and all PCs and major characters are Reality Warpers who follow a basic consensus few of reality.

[Loyal]

Meta-Headcanon: Homestuck's Caliborn would never have been written into the story, and Lord English would have been just a stand-alone eldritch megaboss along the lines of Mobster Kingpin. No origin story, just a looming incarnation of sheer malevolence to be overcome by increasingly showy and impossible displays of bravado, power, and pulchritude.

But then after fan reactions to Vriska, Equius, Eridan, and later Cronus (among others), Hussie had to see just how far he could push the envelope in writing a character, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, whom people would nonetheless still find sympathetic.

[Locke cole]

Eh, maybe. Maybe not.

[Doc ock rokc]

Zelda:
Powers of Courage:My friend and I got into an argument one time on the powers of the triforce. He argued that the Triforce of Courage was a placebo. That While Power gave Gannon resilience and the ability to summon minions (to explain via gameply:All the monsters)and Wisdom gives Zelda intelligence and the ability to see Gannon's plot/others significance(Gameplay:Being able to see the plot of the game). Courage does nothing but makes the user think he is better then the beasts he face. A teddy bear to hug tight and give one courage.

I thought differently. It seems to me that Courage allows Link to contact a extradimentional achronological bring that whispers secrets into his ear to encourage him to go forward...Or to explain it in gameplay terms Link gains contract with the Player who experiences all of link's failures and forewarn him before he actually does it.

Doctor Who:
Meanwhile Gallifrey...: The Gallifrey the Doctor has saved isn't the "True" gallifrey. It is a "Meanwhile" of it. Meanwhiles are time anomalies of the same entity from a divergent time line brought into one timeline. They are very very similar often to the point that they are absorbed back into the main time stream but for various reasons are not causing a duplicate. The moment caused a change in the timeline to be stolen earlier resulting in one gallifrey to be saved before it could become the monstrous hell hole the 10th doctor spoke of.

Could-Have-Been King: I have two differing head cannons on this.

1)The Could-Have-Been King is the Valyard/doctor who in an alternate time line succeeded in getting a new cycle of regenerations and took over a "never-were"(a timeline that is vastly different but intersects and merges with ours temporarily due to similarity) of gallifray. The weakening of reality around the time war brought him into the war. He calls himself The King and is nicknamed the rest of his title by the Doctor.

2)The Could-Have-Been King is the Master who went back to the time war. Being the thing he was in The End of Time. He slaughters the high counsel and deems himself "The King of Gallifray." Inadvertently causing the war to get much much worse.

Totally Canon!:Problems with shifting canon and technology are ripple effects of the time-war, Time active species, and the doctor's own meddling. because of how much it centers around humans human history is constantly shifting as a result.

Legend of Korra: Lin is Sokka and Toph's daughter. The result of an affair during their mutual time in republic city. Since he was married to Suki and because of both their positions they hid the fact he was the father even from Lin herself.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Another Dark Souls II thing that I originally thought was that the Sublime Bone Dust was actually Solaire's remains, and the Chosen Undead from the first game became the Dark Lord. The presence of hexes and various other 'Dark' spells made me think this even more, but I'm not really sure where the Dark Lord would fit in the grand scheme of things, except perhaps as Vendrick's predecessor. Ultimately, the theme of things being a cycle makes it rather clear that the Chosen from the first game probably chose to Link the Fire though.

[rpgdemon]

I believe that Termina, the land seen in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, is a province of, or different country within the same world as, Lorule, the kingdom explored in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

My main reason for this is that, in some places in Termina, you come across the inverted Triforce symbol that is also seen in Lorule, a symbol of that land's similar Triforce. The two lands are also each strange mirrors of Hyrule as explored in Ocarina of Time and A Link To the Past, respectively.

The reason that most sticks, for me, is how, at the end of A Link Between Worlds, it's revealed that long ago, the leaders of Lorule, in a bid to quell eternal war and strife caused by people fueding over the Triforce and attempting to sieze its power, destroyed it. In doing so, they inadvertently doomed their land to a slow, rotting death by removing the gifts that kept it alive. Termina was a land that felt somewhat less alive than Hyrule, in some ways. Sure, a lot of it was due to the Skull Kid's curse, but there were already some curses and decay woven into the world, especially around Ikana. Majora's Mask takes place a great many years before A Link Between Worlds, so I feel like Termina is an example of the world only a scant few years after the Triforce was broken; before the slide into ruin became really overpowering and readily apparent.

I loved that game, but my biggest disappointment in it was that they drew so many parallels to MM, even going so far as having Majora's Mask hanging on your wall when the game starts, essentially saying, "HEY, REMEMBER THIS GAME? JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND WHILE YOU PLAY, WE MIGHT GET SOME SYMBOLISM OR SOME TIE INS. JUST A THOUGHT," and had the whole cultists of the mask thing, which had no payoff at all to it.

Tool-assisted speedruns of Metroid games are actually the way it happened. Samus is just that good at her job.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Super Mario is a delusional man wreaking havoc in mushroom kingdom thinking he's saving a princess who is actually running away from him, protected by her loyal bodyguard bowser. and that's why she's always in another castle.

I made that up as a kid because I thought it'd be cool to play as the bad guy for once.

Also, Metroid Other M never happened especially not the part where Samus submits to a dude who has no authority over her letting him arbitrarily restrict her abilities when there's no logical reason to do so. Samus should just show him the inside of her arm cannon whenever he pulls that shit so he has to ask himself whether it's actually worth it to boss around an established bounty hunter badass who should be intelligent enough to tell the little guy to fuck right off and take his stupid little unit out of that place before they get themselves killed because they are obviously just cannon fodder. Little furry Ridley is definitely canon, though. Don't take that away from me. He's just the cutest little thing.

Also also: This next one takes a little more effort because you actually have to mentally replace a character from the prequel trilogy of star wars with Steve Buscemi just holding monologues about inane shit. Yes. It's Jar Jar.

[Krylo]

Samus is actually just trying to do a no power run but this guy keeps bitching at her to use her upgrades and she's like 'God, fine, you wuss'.

[PyrosNine]

Tool-assisted speedruns of Metroid games are actually the way it happened. Samus is just that good at her job.

I also second this, and that the speed runs of Metal Gear, Splinter Cell, and several FPS/ALL games are how these events actually went down- this justifies the protagonist's being super skilled in their field much better than "circle strafing" and "hid in the corner until the alert went away" of actual gameplay.

Solid Snake pulls out his pistol, getting tranq head shots on all the guards within range, runs through an open field, rounds a corner and passes by a Guard so fast that the guard isn't sure if he actually saw anything, and on the way towards the area's exit rolls with perfect timing to knock another guard out and on his ass. The Legendary Solid Snake!

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Samus is actually just trying to do a no power run but this guy keeps bitching at her to use her upgrades and she's like 'God, fine, you wuss'.

That is an acceptable headcanon too. I approve.

[Ryong]

I've realized I have a headcanon that Samus, due to being raised by birds and wearing a goddamn power suit, has conservation of movement in every action she does. She moves exactly as much as necessary to take any action and does it in a fast, single motion, instead of a fluid series of motions.

Chrono Cross is merely an alternate reality from the events of Chrono Trigger due to Timey Wimey bullshit

[Ryong]

Chrono Cross is merely an alternate reality from the events of Chrono Trigger due to Timey Wimey bullshit

Actually, that's PART of the actual canon.

Every single ending in Chrono Trigger has happened and there are thus several alternate timelines and, in a less stupid way than the bullshit "timeline where Link died" Zelda timeline, Lavos wasn't defeated in every timeline by 1000 A.D. and, somehow, after fusing with Schala in the Chrono Trigger DS "true ending", becomes not only aware of alternate realities it also becomes able to fuse timelines to its own benefit, eventually only leaving the two timelines in Chrono Cross, which it is now trying to fuse so it'll have destroyed Earth in any timeline.

Sheik is a gay trans dude who is incredibly awkward and easily embarrassed in intimate situations, because his cool and mysterious persona is just a facade.

My headcanon (http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=121906)

[Solid Snake]

Oh man, are we doing Persona headcanons now?

* The protagonist of Persona 4, Yu Narukami, is the intelligent, hard-working, lovable, compassionate human being he is when you actually choose the game's decent dialogue options. He repeatedly lays into Yosuke when Yosuke acts crude or bigoted. He's in a committed relationship with Chie and he doesn't lead on the other women in his life, who he respects deeply and fiercely as his friends. He's a genuine progressive ally who will cut your face if you make transphobic remarks in front of Naoto or homophobic remarks in front of Kanji. He doesn't tolerate Teddie's juvenile antics. He loves Uncle Dojima and 'Sis' Nanako and values his family.

* Yosuke's homophobia stems from the fact that he's secretly a closeted homosexual. He starts off with a raging crush on Yu, and most of his bigoted reactions to Kanji are actually out of jealously (that Kanji's more open and honest with himself, and that Kanji and Yu's budding friendship might shut him out of Yu's life.) Once Yosuke accepts his true sexual identity he becomes a much better person, but Yosuke isn't Kanji's type so that never works out.

* Naoto is truly a transgendered man and is ultimately fully accepted as one by his friends. I'm torn as to whether Naoto identifies as heterosexual and dates Rise, or homosexual and dates Kanji. Actually, I think Naoto's pansexual and subsequently struggles with feelings of attraction with both of his friends, who both have huge crushes on him. I like this idea because it's rare to see a fully accepted and adored transgendered person in the center of such a love triangle, and because I think Naoto would be mature enough to handle the situation delicately and retain friendships with both, no matter who he ultimately chose. Rise and Kanji both appeal to Naoto for gender-inverse reasons; Rise's the assertive, career-first free-spirited adventurer, while Kanji is more submissive and more geared to a role of the supportive, compassionate house-husband.

* Whatever Yukiko's sexual identity may be, she exclusively dates outside her group of friends, and she finds their insular approach to dating bizarre. Defying the 'Princess' stereotype of her shadow, she's the last in the group to get married. (I'd like to believe same-sex marriage is legal and readily accepted in this version of Japan.) As interest in Inaba peaks in the wake of the Midnight Channel scandal, her inn is constantly flooded by guests, and she flirts shamelessly with anyone who catches her eye.

* Dojima eventually finds happiness and remarries after he's able to let go of the death of his wife. Chie eventually becomes his new Adachi in Inaba's Police Department and they're the best team of detectives in town. Naoto's often brought in from his detective agency whenever they're tackling a major case with national or international implications. Yu ends up moving to Inaba and he becomes a member of the faculty at Yasogami High, which allows him to spend his adult years doing what he does best...relating and identifying with high school students.

* A decade or so later, Persona 4's sequel stars a high-school aged Nanako and features most of the rest of the P4 cast in cameos. Nanako and her friends in high school earn their own Personas and experience wacky hijinks. Nametame returns in a major supportive role. Inaba itself is still a quiet rural hamlet, but it's modernized a fair deal so the town has a unique vibe. Yu teaches one of Nanako's classes and that leads to some fun classroom scenes. Labrys shows up and is actually a playable team member because Labrys was awesome.

* The big twist in the P4 sequel is that Teddie's actually become the 'bad guy.' It all stems from the fact that all his friends are aging, while Teddie is not, which forces Teddie to confront the concept of mortality. As the original P4 cast grows older, they visit the purified TV world less, and Teddie increasingly feels isolated and alone. Nanako even manages to forget that Teddie ever existed. Thus, Teddie begins down a dark path that sorely erodes his own identity, as he becomes a tool of some god or goddess or whatevs.

* In my headcanon of Persona 4, those awful beauty pageant competitions never happen.

* Most of the content in Golden doesn't happen, either, though a PSVita version of Persona 4 exists which looks quite beautiful on its OLED screens.

Fun Fact about Yosuke. Cut content really overtly hints at him being a possible romance path that was cut from the game. (http://fakegirlgamer.tumblr.com/post/86980906044/so-heres-an-interesting-thing-about-persona-4)

[Aerozord]

This is kind of pointless since its a table top RPG so its a meta-plot to start with, but for Exalted.

Scarlet Empress is simply dead. She isn't going to release the yozi, she's not pregnant, she isn't releasing some super weapon, she is just dead and they are covering it up. Admittedly this is because I she is a freakin Mary-Sue and I hate her as a character and NEVER want to see her ever appear in any game I am in or run because its so boring, predictable and overused.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Spoilers for Godzilla 2014

While Serizawa is right that there's a predator/prey dynamic at work with the behavior of the monsters, the roles are reversed from what he thinks. Instead of being the top predator in their original ecosystem, creatures like Godzilla were the main prey of the MUTOs, at least when the MUTOs needed to brood. The male stealing the warhead for the female to bury with the eggs indicates they need a constant supply of radiation to nourish the offspring; the natural source is obvious when you remember that the MUTO cocoons were originally found in the ribcage of another Godzillasaurus' corpse. Like tarantula hawks, in the absence of environmental radiation the MUTOs probably try to implant eggs in a still-living Goji, who ends up dead from either the larvae consuming too much internal radiation while gestating or from the actual hatching (if John Hurt from Alien were the size of the Space Needle). It may be that they seek out injured or elderly individuals to have a better time of it, and Godzilla's body language throughout the film, to me at least, certainly feels like that of an older monster, especially when we see how taxing using his atomic breath is on his system.

This is why Godzilla fights so viciously and almost theatrically (having your jaw broken and radioactive napalm shoved down your throat was not a peaceful end for the female MUTO) and also why he doesn't do obviously predatory things like haul the corpses off to snack on later; he's not looking for food, he's preemptively wiping out a potential threat to his own existence while demonstrating his vigor despite his age. Maybe there's still an entire population of Gojis under the sea he's looking out for once he realizes that the MUTOs aren't extinct.

Apparently this is really dubious content that may or may not have been from an entirely different source.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

Die Hards 3-6 have not happenned.

[Ryong]

My headcanon of Persona 4:

Yosuke is your typical asshole who thinks he's tough shit and can get away with it, but fails to do so repeatedly. Maybe he'll get better eventually. Maybe he won't.

Kanji definitely is at the very least bi, but his biggest problem is not his sexual orientation: he's so deep into the mindset that "men cannot like cute things, men must always be tough" and so on that he puts up the strong guy facade. By Golden's one year later epilogue, he has dealt with that issue and now presents himself the way he wants.

Naoto is a similar case: she's got hit so hard by the ideas of a patriarchal society that she believes there is absolutely no way she could be respected, seeing she's a female teenager, the opposite of what she believes society respects: an adult male. She's so serious about this that she considers a sex change just so she can be respected, but deep down she's not sure if it will actually help: not only would she still be treated as a child amongst her profession, she'd face prejudice for being trans. By Golden's epilogue, she has come to terms that not only strong women exist, she can be one.

Star Trek: Nicholas Lacarno actually is Tom Paris who, due to the established rough relationship with his father, entered Starfleet using a name from his mother's side of the family. His initial expulsion from the academy was overturned sometime after the events of 'The First Duty', and he later re-enters and graduates from the academy, now going by his given name, Thomas Eugene Paris.

Unable to escape the stigma of his previous failings, however, Tom's attitude towards authority worsens, and history repeats itself when Tom is discharged from Starfleet after covering up the piloting error which lead to the death of 3 officers. And the rest is Star Trek: Voyager, except for 'Threshold' which didn't ever happen. Ever.
