HEADCANON MEME

1. Comment in the post listing your characters.
2. Other will reply with the name of one of your characters
3. You list three things that are your headcanon for that character.
Alternatively, someone can ask you a specific question about the headcanon you have for a certain character. This gives you the option to answer questions pertaining to certain subjects, or think about a question you hadn't considered/answered with your headcanon yet.

There's no limit to the topics or the amount of times someone can ask about a character. It can be huge things like how their life was before their canon, or something smaller like their first time making sweet sweet... um, baked goods for the family. As long as you think it's something that is accurate to your character but it isn't in their canon.

Now that he knows he can fly, the literal jumps... he's getting to the point of being eager for them.

Different kinds of jumps... I'd say trust. Open as he is, there are barriers that few people have come close to since ...probably since he last left his family in Ireland. He's had years of spending long times away from home and he's learned to not make those obvious to his peers, but still. Having more people with abilities around him is making him consider the possibility, if not the probability of it.

He also likes the thrill when somebody else trusts him, the way Alex jumped, knowing Sean would catch him.

So yeah, I think at this point, I can say trust is that one jump. (Older? Ahhh different things.)

They don't glow because they're not circuits. See, in some places, we don't have huge surpluses of energy, but we still like to express ourselves.

Also? If they glowed, they'd take attention away from my abs. Not the intended effect, there.

[userless]

How did I know you'd avoid the question?

Oh, and I'd like to share that you're really creepy.

[chozobloodrites]

Only if that's a mission log in your body-suit.

I highly doubt that's the case.

Because ISOs have miraculous woo-woo powers beyond all Basic life?

[That was the sneeringest sneer to ever sneer, in case you missed it.]

Hey, I don't walk around half-naked.

[userless]

You really do get jealous easily, don't you?

Probably just as well. You wouldn't look ass good as I do.

Kanaya's rainbow drinker instincts are kind of making her act a little more troll-ish. She's more violent and quicker to act on it than she usually was before, and she also lets her grudges fester. She's also got the urge to climb through windows and stare at people like they're food and generally be sneaky in bright places now. She's getting the urge to sneak up and bite people more and more

THE GAME kind of rocked her world on what she thought her purpose was in life. She used to feel like she was going to be pretty extravagant and shit when she grew up, and now she doesn't even know what is going to happen next. The only things that are really concrete for her are her desires to help other in spite of herself, and her desire to have the Matriorb back. Karkat is also a certainty in Sing.

Kanaya is finding being a rainbow drinker disappointing as fuck. She spent her entire life reading these romantic books that painted them as ideal everythings and now she's finding out how wrong they were. She feels kind of cheated by the whole CONSTANT CRAVING FOR BLOOD but she doesn't like how she gets more and more unreasonable the more she doesn't drink. She is also finding it sort of disappointing because there are things the books lied about (hypnotism based on eye contact and painless bites) that she liked the concept of, and things they told the truth about (stalking and preadatory urges) that she is not okay with.

FOOD!
-Anything with caramel. Caramel is definitely her favourite thing, followed by coffee.

MUSIC!
-As for music I imagine she doesn't know a lot. I think she'd have a fondness for the beatles though esp Lucy in the Sky. Otherwise a lot of her music is what Karolina listens to.

Darrow's ending. The world might have a negative reaction to it, but it's the truth and Jensen's kind of a goody two-shoes (but not to the point of his mun letting him die). Sarif and Taggart can huff and puff all they want. :)

SO I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REASON THIS OUT AND FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE SHEP WOULD GO WITH SINCE THE GAME CAME OUT. NGL, it's been tough. I'm almost in complete denial over all of them, and I hope the extended content helps me reconcile my INTENSE RAGE over the endings, but if it doesn't HAVE MY REASONS:

TL;DR WARNING.

THE BLUE PILL:

Control isn't an acceptable choice. So far no one could really be certain that they could overpower the will of the Reapers. Saren had tried it. The Illusive man had failed. Shepard believed she could, mostly because failure wasn't an option, but there was still a chance that she could fail. Beyond that, setting up the cycle for a new phase, taking the word of some alien kid or hallucination that the Reapers would just...leave after she sticks her hands into some generator?

The amount of blood she'd have to lose for that to start making sense would leave her in the negative range.



THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER:

While Shepard isn't particularly invested in the concept of species or cultural diversity, or even race, she is very invested in the idea of individuality. She was a kid who refused to be told what to do, a person who deliberately chose every action they took in life and understood that those actions had consequences. She didn't hold with people telling her the way things had to be, and parsed knowledge and intelligence for herself.

Because of all these things factors (and a few others), she is supremely athiestic.

She's not taking it on the word of some little child creature, a completely unreliable source of information, that if she hurls herself into this beam of light everyone will become some supreme and ultimate evolution of life. The reapers won't have a purpose because there will be harmony?

Bullshit.

I don't think she's ever subscribed to life being on some divine order, or fate being some fantastical element behind the scenes. Because of that, I can't see her accepting that life had an ultimate evolution or that this little fucking kid would be so goddam all-knowing that he had forseen/calculated/determined what it inevitably had to be.

Whatever the ultimate, endgame, evolution of life was going to be, if there was one, it sure as shit wasn't going to be anything this little pissant kid could explain to her in thirty seconds.

(Shepard's really an optimist at her core.)



RED ENDING GOES HERE:

Ultimately, what it comes down to, is this: Jane Shepard doesn't deal in maybe.

The control option might work, might humanely spare all the races of the galaxy and give them the time and the freedom to progress, to reach a point where they could defend against the Reapers...but it might not. She might just be hooking herself to a battery. She might just burn up and leave everyone to die. If they did retreat, no one would know why or how. No one would know when they were coming back. That is not an end. Everyone who had died to get here, Anderson, everyone still dying? They didn't do it so that they could buy time before the next invasion.

They did it so this would be over.

Synthesis was a better choice, but based on intel so flawed and incomplete she might as well have dreamed it up for all it was worth. She didn't live her life, come to this point, just so she could tell other people what they could and could not do, what they would and would not be. She was a commander, but that was means to an end and this? Not an end. Just another stall, assuming it was true.

The only option that would work, whether the kid was lying or not, was the third.

She was standing in the central reactor on the citadel, heart of the Mass Relay network. The vast majority of Reaper dreadnoughts were gathered around Earth, fighting in the SOL system. The Crucible could have amounted to little more than a Prothean hood ornament, at this point. If the kid was telling the truth, then Legion's sacrifice was for nothing and EDI was going to die, to really understand what death was. She would be betraying everything she'd ever promised them. Shepard loved them as crew, but she never assumed anyone told her the truth.

If she shot at that juncture and set off the reactor core of the citadel? Earth was toast, the SOL system would go the way of Bahak, and all her crew and aid would be dead, but so would the Reapers.

It was the only way to be sure.

Everyone who had come to this point with her knew that they were probably going to die, they had come anyway, they were all ready for it. Many of them had already died so they could get here, to this moment.

This was a command decision.

If there was one thing she could make, it was command decisions.


SO. Seriously, TL;DR: RED ENDING.

TEREZI DOESN'T LIKE TO SLEEP. She used to love doing it, back when her dreamself was alive and she could talk to her dragonmom, but after SHODANCEparty things just fucking suck. Her nightmares are worse than ever before, and she's so sensitive to heat that the sun would wake her up. Kanaya ended up making PVC curtains for her, so that helps block out the light. Alex was helping stop her nightmares; Terezi was originally incredibly wary of the idea of letting another person into her head, especially since the last person who traipsed around in there was SHODAN, but Sollux seemed to be perfectly okay with her, so Terezi decided to give it a go.

She's becoming a little more comfortable with being a cyborg. For a while after zone 07, she mostly used text and audio, but now she's using video a lot more.

After Terezi went blind, the first colors she learned how to smell were the primaries (red, blue, yellow), because they're the most basic and make up pretty much every other color out there, unless you're one of those weirdos who go by the primary colors of light, in which case gfto. It took a very long time and a lot of practice before she could pick up anything even remotely resembling a picture of her surroundings.

Red was the very first color she had any sort of success with.
