IT'S TWO TICKETS TO THAT THING YOU LOVE!

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.

((Basic idea taken from [livejournal.com profile] spamnotmunky))

Alright, might as well get this out of the way.

Dave Strider!

OKAY UH as someone new to this HM LET'S SEE IF I CAN DO THIS RIGHT...

1) Along with his understanding of time, I see his remixing capabilities / comprehensions of rhythms as having increased exponentially during his time in the Incipisphere. In all honestly, his remixes are kind of simplistic at first, and I see that capability of his as having evolved at least somewhat. (To be honest, for the longest time, that was what I saw Descend as - a later remix of Dave's.)

2) Dave is stupidly intelligent. He's also the kind of person that puts in no effort whatsoever in any class, ends up having his grades drop, and still scrapes by without a problem. THIS ALMOST ISN'T HEADDCANON UH OH JEEZ. He's also gotten in trouble more than once for writing an ironic book review. And this transitions into part 3:

3) I imagine Dave as having had much more frequent contact with Bro earlier on in his life. Like, getting in trouble over said ironic book reports, going home, giving bro the reports when asked about em, and sharing a laugh over it. Thanks to Teal, I have the unshakable thought that Bro made Dave read every now and then (not really that difficult, since Dave's more of a book person than he'd ever let on), with the most notable example being Lord of the Rings. (THAT PART IS A WHOLE NOTHER PART BLAH BLAH JUST QUICK FACTS HERE.)


orz I PROBABLY DID NOT DO THIS RIGHT

Favorite NON LOTR book.

[identity profile] timeturntable.livejournal.com 2010-12-22 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh man this one. I can tell you about it, since I've had a clear idea for this one, but I can't find the name. I know it exists, though; I read it.

When he was pretty young, and on a fantasy kick after bro made him read LotR (which he liked a lot holy shit), he discovered the Arthurian mythos. This shit was like crack to him. Knights, wizards, fantasy - even if he never admitted it, dude had a soft spot for it. Less the wizards and more the knights in shining armor. They were coolkids, pure and simple, even (especially) when they were being complete douchebags to everyone around them. Even though he'd never have admitted it, he kept reading that shit.

Dave, looking for something to read at the ripe young age of like 10 or 11, went to the school library and checked out yet another old (read: 1980s/1990s) book with King Arthur listed as a tag. YET THIS WAS NO ORDINARY BOOK. Modern day setting, the knights are a biker gang, everyone's kind of an asshole, the main villain's this psycho who slits women's throats and plasters them into a statues of washerwomen, and Arthur is kind of an idiotic twerp. (HM A DERP FOR AN HEIR TO THE THRONE DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR...)

The book was not written particularly well, but Dave couldn't have given less of a shit. He wasn't in this one for the prose - the concept alone was pretty much the greatest thing ever. A knight of the round table, wearing a leather jacket, tattoos all the hell over, shaved head and on a motorcycle. It was like the book wasn't even trying to be an ironic outdated piece of shit - that just came naturally.

Someday, if Dave could ever have found a motorbike in Sburb, he would've made the sleekest ride he could've, alchemized a leather jacket and sleek shades, and ridden around on his trusty fucking steed as a true Knight of ironic allusions. All thanks to that goddamn book.

How did Dave meet the other kids?

[identity profile] timeturntable.livejournal.com 2010-12-22 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I actually see Jade as being the catalyst for that. Something tells me (namely my righteous sense of STRIDERIRONY) that Jade and Dave met on a furry forum or furaffinity or something, with Dave trolling and Jade making such a derpy happy comment that Dave assumed she HAD to be the best troll ever.

Except she wasn't trolling, as Dave soon found out. HOWEVER, Jade turned out to be - well, Jade, and Dave ended up talking to her for a while on out. I get the feeling Jade introduced him - possibly directly - to John, and maybe led to his introduction to Rose in some counter-intuitive way - whether by John's introduction, or maybe by linking him some exceedingly erudite youtube comment or something.

AND THEN THEY WERE ALL THE BEST KIDS >:]
