Tell Me Your Headcanons

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.
