Tell Me Your Headcanons

And now I'm watching tool assisted runs of metroid games. Way to go.

Metroid Other M was a really bad fever dream after the events of Metroid Fusion.

Dragonball GT never happened (oh wait Dragon Ball Online confirms that )

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. He drinks so he'll be less nervous in these situations, but he's a lightweight so he overdrinks and Link ends up having to take care of drunk, sick Sheik.

Minako is the real protagonist of Persona 3 amd she and Akihito-Senpai totally get together after she wakes up from her coma. Comatose for a week tops.

My headcanon

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.

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.
