Meme: Headcanon!
Okay, so I think I'm done being productive for the day. Thus, a meme we haven't done since August 2009! It's about time to revisit, eh? The instructions, as stolen from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sith_happened are as follows:
Easy, right?At least if LJ doesn't decide to log me out in the middle of posting. Again. Have at.
sith_happened are as follows:Even the most obsessive of canons (yes, Star Wars, I'm looking at you) leaves some gaps in information as you play a character. But canon also provides some truly random factoids. So today's meme:
Provide us five bits ofthings you totally made upheadcanon for your character, as well as five things that are, sadly, canon but could sound like you made them up.
Easy, right?
no subject
1. Ramona's little brother was killed in a car accident, and was named Randy. (This is semi-canon, since BLO apparently told Mary Elizabeth Winstead that Ramona had a dead younger brother, but we never got details.
2. Her parents barely talk to her, because their family dynamic got all messed up after said brother died, and also because Ramona started acting out and it was just easier to ignore her.
3. The drug use. I'm pretty sure it's never explicitly mentioned in canon, but a girl like Ramona doesn't get around without doing a little experimenting in her formative years.
4. Her favorite color is fuchsia, which is why she defaults to it hair-wise.
5. She's a terrible driver.
Real Canon
1. Yes, her ex-boyfriend punched a hole in the moon for her. And then left her for Vegan Academy.
2. When Ramona is upset or dislikes a situation or something about herself, she changes her hair. It's a defense mechanism. When she's comfortable, she actually lets it grow out a bit.
3. She smokes (though later that becomes "only on special occasions.")
4. When things get rough, she disappears. Eventually literally. She just doesn't have subspace yet.
5. Her actions really are often followed by comic book/video game effects -- hearts over her head when she kisses someone, a 'POW' when she punches
Tophersomeone, etc.no subject
1. Luke has no idea how to drive and has had no desire to learn
2. Doesn't know if he has a middle name or if his real name is Lucas or anything like that. It's not like he could ask his mother that kind of information.
3. Is a cuddler
4. Has little to no sense of fashion
5. Before he met Percy he was not at all picky about who he slept with. I gathered this from the fact that everybody in the books, from monsters to wood nymphs, fawn over his looks. He'd be crazy not to take advantage of it.
Canon, but random
1. His flying shoes were a gift from his father and not, as the movie wrongly assesses, something he stole.
2. There are secret camping spots/hideouts all over the east coast from when he, Thalia and Annabeth were on the run.
3. In giving Annabeth a knife and promising never to hurt her, he unknowingly cursed himself
4. His face gets really red when he's angry
5. Known as best swordsman in the last 300 years (but he's never beaten Thalia)
no subject
1. Being bisexual
2. Getting bounced around the foster system thanks to a tendency to appropriate technology for her own purposes (look, she NEEDED that car’s catalytic converter, okay?)
3. She has her own wishing kettle ferret (who lives in South Dakota)
4. Her (now far less strong) aversion to calling things “magic”
Random canon:
1. She’s turned on by tech talk
2. Playing accoustic punk covers. How much do I love my canon for giving us that this season?
3. Her crippling self-esteem issues. And abandonment issues. And fear of being crazy.
4. She breaks into dance moves when she gets excited.
Yeah, I only have four for each for now.
no subject
1. Extrapolation from his canonical love of astronomy: he's kind of wanted to be an astronaut ever since he was a little kid. He also already knows that's never going to happen, so he's set his sights on getting involved with a space tourism program instead.
2. He dislikes Justin Bieber. A lot. Bad encounter at a party, don't ask.
3. He's never had an actual relationship. Not one that lasted more than a few weeks, anyway.
4. He loves to dress up, but his idea of a perfect day still consists of playing video games in his pajamas.
5. He thinks Jules is the brains of their twin operation.
Actual canon:
1. He lost his virginity at age 13.
2. He's going to fake amnesia for a whole three months just to help the woman he's in love with.
3. He's going to have his 25th birthday party on the Brooklyn Bridge. It will end with him getting arrested for drunkenly singing All By Myself, in his underwear, on the edge of the bridge.
4. He fails to see the point in watching baseball/football/basketball/whathaveyou games if you don't own one of the teams.
5. He's friends with Justin Timberlake and Ethan Hawke.
no subject
1. Doesn't really think Envy has a horse face, he just likes the insult
2. Has never had any sexual attraction towards Scott
3. He does wish Stacey Pilgrim was a guy sometimes 'cause he thinks she's amazing
4. Not that great of a fighter, despite the world he comes from.
5. He would, however, be willing to attempt to kick your ass if you hurt Scott. In an emotional way 'cause, let's face it, the guy deserves to get punched every once in a while.
Canon, but random
1. A band really did dedicate a song to Wallace called "We Hate You, Please Die"
2. Doesn't wear pants around the house
3. When things get bad he just thinks about how awesome bacon is and perks right up
4. Drunk dials/texts like nobody's business
5. His favorite restaurant is Hooters
6. Very attracted to guys in glasses
no subject
1. She can intimidate a woolly mammoth off a cliff (but I don’t think this is a stretch!)
2. She goes all pouty faced if someone calls her a bully (she’s totes just misunderstood!)
3. She can readily identify axe varieties (even when they’ve been made into guitars)
4. She has very good balance (You try tap dancing on top of a stack of suitcases)
5. And loves Hannah Montana (because it’s funny)
Random
dancingcanon:1. She’s a former beauty pageant girl
2. With wilderness trapping skills
3. And a recurring nightmare about a monster stealing her soup
4. And an aversion to the word “panties”
5. And the ability to throw grown men twice her size from a stand-still
6. And a love of giant forks
7. And a crush on Freddie
8. And some impressive artistic ability
9. And a whole family of convicts (except her sister, the good twin)
10. And I could go on and on and on, here. Seriously. This is a canon that introduces (and lampshades) a new random fact/talent in practically every episode.
no subject
And then went and punched another hole in the moon for another girl. Sigh, Todd.
no subject
1. She's an only child; her parents are well-educated upper middle class.
2. She was made to take piano lessons from an early age and is pretty solidly good at it, though not exactly concert pianist material.
3. The elusive middle initial V? I'm not a 100 % decided yet, but I'm starting to feel like it could stand for Valkyrie. My headcanon versions of her parents seem like the type to grace her with a strong, unconventional middle name like that. Also, there's an instance of Scott lamely attempting to insult her with "Why don't you go back to… to… Montrealhalla", and I feel like giving him more reason for that. (Plus, the meta with regards to Princess Valhalla amuses me.)
4. She speaks French fluently enough. She's from Montreal and a pretty bright girl so this doesn't seem like that much of a stretch.
5. The Princess Bride and Breakfast at Tiffany's are two of her favourite books. She likes the romance and the meta of the former, and secretly admires Holly's ability and guts to reinvent herself in the latter. Dun dun dun.
Actual canon:
1. The backs of her knees are her weak spot. And a source of extreme sexual pleasure for her.
2. Italian Vogue is going to write about her 25th birthday party. Also, David Bowie is going to be in attendance.
3. She can go long stretches of time without blinking. Technically, this is actually movie canon (and as such, the only bit of it I'm using); apparently, Edgar Wright told Brie Larson to keep from blinking during takes to give Envy that intimidating ice queen stare.
4. She's basically blinded by her love for Todd Ingram. This leads to her getting cheated on right under her nose.
5. She doesn't know chicken parmesan isn't vegan. Though to be fair, even the vegan police have to think about it for a sec – they come to the conclusion it's not, because "isn't parmesan some kind of a rodent?" So.
no subject
1. Her chakra is totally an erogenous zone. (Not a crazy button, Jono!) So is her neck. Hush.
2. Wearing all black most of the time -- yes, it's blue in the comic. But I think that was because between her clothes and her hair it would be too much solid black on the page or something. Because, c'mon, Raven? Black.
3. Being bisexual -- it's somewhat implied in canon, though she only kisses girls when she's evil. Sigh.
4. Her favorite scent is frangipani.
5. She looooooves strawberries.
(6. Her healing ability is something else I have to head!canon fix. Much like how the artists constantly move her chakra around and resize it and reshape it, the writers are horribly inconsistent with the strength of her powers. Seriously, they go from "she can only heal simple wounds" to "she can heal anything!" in the blink of an eye. She can heal diseases. She can't heal diseases. She feels the pain of the healing for the rest of her life and just sucks it up. She dispels it into the netherverse. Auuuuuuuugh.)
Random Canon:
1. Raven's obsessed with Gossip Girl. No, really. During a bit where the Titans had to reveal something no one else knew, Raven's big confession was "I watch Gossip Girl...religiously."
2. Bright colors hurt her eyes. SHE REALLY SAID THAT.
3. Her soul exists in every dimension at the same time. The BDE is gonna hurt.
4. She totally has a thing for bad boys. Her first real relationship in the comics was with a guy all the Titans hated (and caused her to flip out on them because she thought they were wrong in judging him, GOD, RAVEN) because he was a creep. Of course they were right and he was totally trying to pressure Raven into having sex so he could eat her soul (which was fortunately saved by Jericho-interruptus).
5. Her tattoo -- she really did get a tramp stamp of a raven on her back, except it was flying down into her ass crack. Seriously.
6. She doesn't wear pants (well, she started to down the line as artists forgot). The first time she did was while going undercover as a follower of Brother Blood. And she bitched about it. :)
no subject
1. She has no concept of modern technology
2. She can’t read or write in English (Equestria in canon seems to mostly use squiggles and pictographs)
3. She has an awareness of and the occasional ability to break the fourth wall (this is actually a popular piece of fanon for Pinkie, based on elements of the series that have been explained by the animators as errors rather than intentional choices)
4. One of her sisters grew up to become a classically trained cellist in Canterlot (also fanon)
5. She’s terrified of the concept of no one controlling the weather
Random canon:
1. Her various bodily ticks and twitches can predict the future
2. She’s flightier than a flock of migratory birds
3. But also way more aware of what’s going on around her than people think.
4. Rejection can send her spiralling into a psychotic break
5. She breaks into song on a regular basis
no subject
1. Didn't have a lot of friends prior to Fandom. She had a group of girls she hung out with, but that was really the extent of it.
2. Smoked as a stress relief thing. Will be trying not to pick the habit up again once things start getting way stressful over the coming months.
3. Her heteroflexibility. Nothing in canon points to it, but I can't see her not being openminded about experimentation, at least.
4. Doesn't like being encumbered while sleeping. (I think this was actually an observation from Bod, at first, which then stuck with me because it just made sense.)
5. Doesn't actually hate Overland Park and Kansas as much as she lets on.
Actual canon:
1. Is the only person in her immediate family who's never taken a single pill of Xanax.
2. Graduated high school early.
3. Weighed eight pounds and seven ounces when she was born.
4. Is actually called Katherine. However, she's only ever called this in canon vaguely creepily.
5. Has a penchant for dating creepy, controlling older guys. No, seriously. It's pretty sad. Thank zombie Jesus that S3 fixed that.
no subject
1. Because I like the way I worded this in a ping recently: Growing up at the Watchers' Academy, he's come to form an almost idolatric reverence for powerful women. It's entirely unhealthy and leads to putting girls on pedestals.
2. Was pretty much loathed at the Watchers' Academy for being a kiss-ass, and didn't have a single friend in his life before he met Angel.
3. Has a serious thing about his neck, sexually speaking. He doesn't have the scar (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/112353829/28481635) yet, which'll be the clincher, but IMO you can't grow up studying vampires and not be a little extra-special sensitive there.
4. Speaks English, French, Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic, Ancient Greek, Portuguese, and a number of demon languages and runes, all fluently. He's proficient in many others as well.
5. Can handle swords (rapier, broadsword, falcata, zweihaender, seax, sidesword, sabre, claymore, barong, sickle, shamshir, khanda, dagger) and guns (handgun, revolver, rifle).
6. His family owns a tudor manor in Fawley where he lived until the age of five. Because of the Academy’s proximity to their home, he had the option to be a day student, but it was Roger’s insistence that he reside in the dormitories like a "proper student." His wing is in the northern part of the house, and he had his own library from which he still occasionally has his books sent over to Fandom.
7. Has always been a bit nauseated by the Cruciamentum test administered to Slayers on their eighteenth birthdays. Hates that it was that mistake of Giles that led to his being instated as assistant Watcher.
Actual Canon
1. Was, yes, Head Boy at the Watchers' Academy. (Yes, yes, to quote Cordelia: "Wonder how you got that nickname.")
2. His father used to lock him in the closet under the stairs when he wasn't "good enough."
3. Has a tendency to sit in the dark and drink scotch when his world is crumbling, yes.
4. Once attempted a resurrection spell on a bird that had flown into his window. (And head canon: Even though he knows now that it was stupid, the fact that he was interrupted has always bothered him in that he doesn't know if it would even have worked.)
5. Comes from a very, very long line of Watchers. (Now, I won't touch the Angel comics with a ten-foot pole because
Shanie has scared me off themI know better, but the wiki tells me that Wes' grandfather and great-grandfather have both been mentioned. Wesley's grandfather, Geoffrey Wyndam-Pryce, briefly allied with Angelus against a vampire cult during WWI. I can't make this up, people.)6. Doesn't know yet that he can be ruthless. He'll learn.
no subject
1. Is straighty mcstraightserson. For some reason, I can't picture him as anything but. (Besides the copious amounts of not-quite-FoeYay he has with Bean, but Wiggins and Bean is always a potent mixture...)
2. Is not a big fan of alcohol, much like his siblings. Control issues rule the house here.
3. Has never really had any actual friends. Pretending to be nice enough to pass - fine. Pretending to be nice enough to get timesucks attached to his behind - no thanks. Clearly, he's not trying hard enough in Fandom.
4. He's written his Ender all of one letter. He wrote it shortly after Ender left, and when he didn't get a response, he took it personally. It took him a while to figure out why he didn't get one - it hurt enough that he didn't want to think about it.
5. Calls home to Valentine frequently, often under the guise of 'planning', when really all he wants to do is make stupid jokes with her. Not that he admits that even to himself.
Actual canon:
1. Used to torture squirrels. However, Peter stopped the first time he realised it felt pain, and has felt vaguely sick about it since. He sincerely hopes that means he's not actually a monster.
2. Is incredibly attached to his siblings - some time in the future, he's going to nearly get Valentine and Ender thrown in the brig of their colony ship because he was a dumbass and sent them a huge letter on high priority that set off all the monitoring systems. NICE GOING, WIGGIN.
3. According to Peter, relationships are an utter waste of time, and he's made it very clear that the moment he winds up caring more about dating some girl, someone should shoot him.
4. Has two modes: supremely confident about what he's doing, and hiding in bed rambling about wanting ninjas to kill him because whatever just happened IS THE END OF THE WORLD. No, this isn't going to end after he gets out of his teens. Boy's a born drama queen.
5. Like Valentine (and Ender to a point), has a sense of humor that cherry picks all the good bits from 'morbid' and 'scatological'.
no subject
1. His parents, Zachary and Alexandra Brink, are really liberal humanities professors with a lot of money. Topher does their taxes.
2. Has been to about seven or eight prep schools by now and always manages to piss off the administration so much that he's asked to leave.
3. Got his first computer when he was seven, a bulky white Gateway desktop that could hardly run. Through some tinkering, over the next three years he not only got it running, but he learned a ton of nifty tricks to optimize his use of it. He used his college library card to slip into lectures over the years that taught him even more; by the time he was twelve, he could hack tightly-secured files and even program viruses if he wanted to.
4. When he's anxious and his mind is on a zillion different things, he'll sometimes take out a Rubik's Cube and do the whole thing as many times as it takes to calm down.
5. Never really had any friends before coming to Fandom (apparently I have a type). He's never tried to tone down his smartassery for the sake of meeting people, and it's not until he got to Fandom that he realized that, despite being smarter than everyone else (debatable), it's worth it to have people who are decent to him.
6. Though it's not stated in canon, I figure that he dies a virgin. That can be changed by way of Fandom circumstances, of course, but on the show... well, you tell me.
7. Will, as he's predicted, go to MIT and study Brain and Cognitive Sciences.
8. Has a looooot of social disorders. I'm not going to diagnose them until I take a lot of time to actually figure out, but they are there.
9. Doesn't have one single clue what his sexual orientation is. The idea of being physically intimate with anyone, regardless of gender, genuinely freaks him out, but (as, you know, maybe one or two people might have noticed) he's recently come to develop his first crush. Way, way behind schedule. Oh, Topher.
Actual Canon
1. Always wears a thin silver bracelet that says "Kill your idols." The real prop was apparently auctioned on eBay a year ago and I've kicked myself a lot for not bidding on it.
2. Has, yes, that NCC-1701 tattoo on his left ankle. He's a Star Trek freak.
3. Is afraid of the dark and rats, and is pretty agoraphobic later on in canon. For now he just doesn't like being outside.
4. Will one day have a lab filled with chess, darts, tacked-up comic strips, a Buddha, whack-a-mole, juice boxes, magnets, gumball machine, dolls, action figures and a trampoline. (And, my new headcanon thanks to Lainey and Fry, this, which is NSFW.)
5. Underneath the asshole exterior, there is more asshole. Underneath that, though, he sort of hates himself sometimes. Not enough to change the way he is, but then, he wouldn't really know how to.
6. Only ever wears sweater vests and khakis. Despite his room being a huge mess, he has to be clean and showered and well-put-together every day.
7. Is a dork about the NATO phonetic alphabet.
8. Will never ever think of anyone else as remotely equal to himself -- either in terms of brilliance or accountability for the end of the world.
9. Grows up to be very, very lonely.
no subject
1. Kate dislikes her full name, which is why she's never used it.
2. It also isn't her actual name, given spreading the one her mother gave her at birth around in any variant would have drawn far too much attention so she took hers from her adoptive father.
3. Believes her adoptive father's suicide was some misguided attempt to keep her safe, and she hates him for it, but takes it out on her guardian Greg because he's the one who reminds her of that just by being around. Anger at a living person is easier than grief over a dead one.
4. She really loves mythical creatures and legends. She'd say knowing it is necessity, but truthfully she'd read about them even if it wasn't.
5. She can read Hebrew, Latin and ancient Greek. Ilona says she reads 'several' languages for mystical purposes, so I may end up adding to this list.
Actual Canon:
1. Teenagers in her care are forced to learn Latin. Eventually, yes, there will be teenagers that she is responsible for. No, she will not often like this, especially when they start mailing themselves to her.
2. Technology and Kate do not get along. Phones and guns and the like are dicey at the best of times in her world, but she has such a strong aura of old magic that it throws anything remotely tech-reliant off.
3. She realises the sword is not actually sentient, but talks to it and likes to pretend it is all the same.
4. Literal growling at people who irritate her is not unheard of. Neither is literal thunking of her head against hard surfaces. People are annoying.
5. She killed her first man at the age of nine, and then threw up. Her father was the one who paid him to attack her. He was a fun guy, clearly.
no subject
THIS IS WHY THEY'RE FRIENDS.
...Except Topher has a third mode, which is the desperate craving for validation on what he's doing. And he won't actually get to the hiding-in-bed part until late season two when he's crazy.
no subject
1. Is really, really, really torn up about the future and what he knows about it. I suspect this'll become more obviously canon once the new series starts (THIS SUNDAY OMG OMG YAY), but for now, it's in this section.
2. Thinks Nathan is his best friend. The one where he's from, obviously.
3. Prefers tea over coffee, and even moreso now that he's in the States, because tea reminds him of home.
4. Sees the world of superhero comics in a whole different way now that he has a power. Sometimes it hinders his enjoyment.
5. Kind of does and doesn't want to take Alisha to Vegas.
Actual canon:
1. Doesn't like cheese.
2. Tried to burn someone's house down, then changed his mind because there was a cat in the house, and then tried to put out the fire by pissing through the letter box.
3. Has a 13-year-old sister, and parents we never hear of except in a non-mainstream timeline where they freak out over the superpower thing.
4. Would do anything for those he cares about. Anything. Up to and including covering up the fact that he accidentally killed someone.
5. Drugs (or at least whatever he was slipped that one time) make his powers reverse: he becomes the center of everyone's attention. Basically, everyone adores him when that happens.
no subject
1. Bisexual. Then again if Nathan Stark showed up in Jack's personal hallucination looking like this (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y244/iamgumboy/tumblr_lrhzbwh7h01qavwluo6_250.gif) and claiming that "this is your fantasy, not mine"? Yeah, there's no way Jack's completely straight.
2. He has a think for snarky and intelligent people. Granted that's all that's available in Eureka but his ex-wife seems to fit the bill.
3. Clone - Yep. Totally me on that one.
4. Doesn't get along with the original Jack Carter - It's just awkward.
5. Lojack makes a damn good pie. - If a dog has 130 IQ points he can totally make a pie. Seriously.
6. SARAH in a laptop. She was copied into a car and thought it would be fun to carry into Fandom.
Real Canon:
1. His personal vehicle gets destroyed in every episode/BDE - It's a running gag in the show. Apparently it's the same jeep just rebuilt everytime even though it's been melted or squashed like a pancake.
2. Rotten Parenting skills - He's better but in the first episode he put his own daughter in a jail cell instead of taking her with him to a hotel.
3. Fear of heights - Makes him nauseous. It's better to be above him than below him on a ladder.
4. Lojack - He was in the original pilot and was featured in one episode in the second season. Never was seen afterward.
5. Comes up with a solution to EVERY PROBLEM when Eureka is about to be destroyed despite being surrounded by geniuses. It's been done so much they've just turned it into a running gag.
no subject
1. For a brief window in her childhood, used to want to be a professional equestrian, but the series finale of Full House where Michelle gets amnesia scared her off that dream.
2. Has always felt that the Hannah secret made her "special" when kids were picking on her for her accent. She's been tempted to spill it A LOT, but losing that secret-smile feeling has (so far) always kept her mouth shut.
3. Is actually really good friends with Justin Bieber, because it amuses me.
4. Can totally just sit down and milk a cow without even thinking about it.
5. Has a thing for shallow, less-than-bright boys who will buy her things. So sue her.
6. Sometimes really wants to wear a flannel shirt and sweatpants outside, like back in Crowley Corners. She doesn't, but it's a close thing some days.
7. Totally still doodles boys' names on her notebooks.
8. Dances at least an hour a day to work out and make sure she's keeping up with her routines. Her choreographer will sometimes get on Skype to make sure she's doing it right.
Actual Canon
1. Has an identical cousin (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/111889490/33353146), Luann, who's evil. Miley also named her pig after Luann. Affectionately, don'tcha know.
2. Her mom died five years ago. Some ambiguous but small number of months later, Miley's first Hannah album hit the charts.
3. Convinced an entire town of people and one paparazzo not to spill her secret to the press despite the (assumed) enormous monetary reward they would get for doing so. I didn't write it, okay?
4. Once fake-dated her brother for about two and a half weeks. Disney doesn't get that that's weird, for some reason.
5. Speaks terrible French.
6. Is the world's worst athlete (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/111603932/33353146).
7. Hates raspberries. Hates 'em. She once was in a raspberry pie-eating contest as a kid and puked all over the mayor's suit. Oops.
8. Has (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/111590649/33353146) a (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/111590910/33353146) slight (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/111604171/33353146) occasional (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/111921867/33353146) tendency (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/111889673/33353146) to (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/111926888/33353146) dress (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/112341053/33353146) in (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/111603932/33353146) costume (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/111940378/33353146).
no subject
... That also reminds me that I forgot to add Actual Canon Point 6: Peter doesn't watch movies. Or play video games. Or watch TV... except for the news.
no subject
...I'm trying to imagine Peter making Topher watch the news.
Topher: This is boring. I want ice cream!
Peter: Could you just --!?
no subject
1. Her favorite music is old R&B and soul. Second favorite is pop.
2. She works out every single day. If she can, she runs because it clears her head; if the weather's too bad, she'll do time on the elliptical instead. She also goes through her gymnastics stunts a couple times a week, just to stay in practice.
3. She doesn't actually miss cheering most of the time, but she figures she'll do it again at college anyhow.
4. She's given up on the celibacy thing, but she still doesn't believe in random hookups. At least not for her.
5. She kind of wishes she'd been born in the '40s or something, just because she really loves the clothes from that era and she thinks guys used to be gentlemen.
Canon, but random
1. Her mom and dad call her Quinnie. Her cheer friends call her Q. Her name is actually Lucy Quinn.
2. She was an unpopular, nerdy fat girl until the summer before 9th grade, when she decided she had to be popular in her new school, starved herself, got a nose job, and started going by her middle name.
3. She has an older sister who's married to a guy who runs UPS stores.
4. When she's bored in class, she draws caricatures of people she doesn't like.
5. Her mom kicked her dad out because she caught him cheating on her with a tattooed freak.
6. When she gets drunk, she tends to get belligerent at anybody in her general vicinity.
no subject
It seems comic-book-y. He figures if he's going to get hit by a girl, it's cool that it makes a fun noise.
no subject
1. Always sleeps so that he's closest to the door in case anything/one tries to attack.
2. Keeps his lightsaber in a nook above the bed, just in case.
3. Has mindwhammied Juliet's pediatrician on every appointment because you try giving a Force-sensitive toddler a shot and have her not throw something at your head.
4. Hates children's television with a passion.
5. Adores sushi because it reminds him of one of his first dates with Rory.
Actual Canon:
1. "I can't believe they let you teach": what Padme told Anakin when she sees him in action with his Padawan.
2. THEY GAVE HIM A PADAWAN.
3. Built Threepio when he was 9. Sigh.
4. Can bring down a Star Destroyer with the power of his mind. And buildings. Don't mess with him.
5. Totally walks around like he has a cape flapping behind him.
no subject
1. She's already been in a couple commercials and done a tiny bit of modeling back in New York, all stuff her dad set up so she doesn't really count it.
2. She doesn't really understand dating. She wants the kind of love that hits you like a thunderbolt and never goes away, and it'll be hard for her to really get interested in anyone until that happens.
3. Her favorite drink is mimosas.
4. She'll scan the headlines so she doesn't look like a complete numbskull, but in general she's not interested in the news unless it's Variety or Page Six.
5. She thinks Jeremy is the brains of their twin operation.
Actual Canon
1. When she's 24, she'll semi-seriously attempt suicide because she's so upset that her dad keeps trying to help her instead of letting her make her own way.
2. She's a serious camera whore; she's the type who will pose for paparazzi at a funeral.
3. She is convinced she has a psychic link to Jeremy.
4. She's good with kids, if inclined to spoil them rotten.
5. She thinks moving to a hotel suite on her dad's dime is running away.
no subject
1. He can't stand the heat. Canon never mentions it, but he is said to be build to withstand the cold. I found some site theorising the wolves would be able to stand the heat/fire as well and decided they were too Mary Sue as it was, so I turned it around and decided that he's not good with heat.
2. This is based on vague hints from canon. After his mother died, his family sort of fell apart. His sisters blamed his father and wanted to get away from La Push as soon as possible. Jake was too young to understand and stood by his dad.
3. He used to drive his dad's truck long before he ever turned 16.
4. His dad taught him to whittle, hoping to make him appreciate at least some of the Quileute traditions.
5. He likes getting his ears scratched even in human form. It calms him down.
Canon: (though it's more like sadly they sound like they should never have been made up)
1. He's not actually in love with Bella, he's in love with her ovaries.
2. If Jake's hair is long, then the wolf's pelt will be all long and shaggy as well.
3. As a werewolf he runs faster than a vampire does. Vampires in canon run so fast they turn invisible...
4. Will lose all his personality when he imprints because only the creepy spawn matters to him then. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. (Never happening.)
5. Uses cheesy lines like age is just a number, baby and knows too many blonde jokes. Somehow it fits him.
no subject
WHAT? A Date?! But they were just friends omg!
no subject
1. He doesn't understand how "little person" is meant to be less insulting than "dwarf." At least dwarf sounds honest.
2. He's seriously obsessed with the Internet. Online he can find more books than he could ever read in his lifetime, all in one tiny box.
3. When he goes back to King's Landing, it will be with a box full of electronic devices jury-rigged to run on batteries almost indefinitely.
4. He feels surprisingly competent, running his apartment more or less by himself. Impoverished, but competent.
5. He dreads the day he'll get summoned home again, but he knows he'll go.
Actual Canon
1. His father will never forgive Tyrion because his mother died in childbirth with him. Their animosity is at the point where it's more than implied that Tywin sends Tyrion into dangerous situations in hopes he'll get killed.
2. He is heir to Casterly Rock, since Jaime is a knight and can't inherit and Cersei is a woman. Neither he nor his father has ever acknowledged this.
3. He designed an adapted saddle that would let him ride a full-size horse instead of a pony.
4. He has a serious thing for prostitutes.
5. He once brought a honeycomb and a jackass into a brothel ... and that is where he quit telling the story.
no subject
1. Ender still doesn't wear socks. He was forced out of the habit in Battle School - no socks there (that's actual canon) - and never really got used to wearing them again, because they seemed unnecessary.
2. Prefers big intellectual movies, Shakespeare adaptions, and explorations of the human psyche. Winds up stuck watching racing movies with Ben more times than not anyway.
3. Because of years of getting the routine hammered into him, Ender spends every morning working out. It's got absolutely nothing to do with keeping up his physical condition or looking good - it's just that it's what he's always done, and it gives him some sense of structure that's too-easily lost on Fandom.
4. Likewise, he spends a lot of time in the pool. It reminds him of being in zero-g; swimming is calming.
5. Has about eight separate email accounts for home, Fandom, and Ben's world, and receives and sends large amounts of correspondence every day that I never type up because it's too much damned work.
6. Sometimes lets Jane talk him into playing Pong against her. Shhh.
7. For a while, the Battle School kids had a betting pool going on him and Alai. That... died a slightly awkward death.
Actual canon:
1. Has issues being touched. This gets less as canon goes on - when he's eleven, he's going into full-blown threatening mode on his sister for trying to tickle him, by age eighteen he's just narrativing semi-pissedly about how most people just use casual touches to assert dominance over you. However, it remains a thing for a good long while.
2. Never finishes a whole plate of food. Kid never did get the teenage male binges.
3. Doesn't drink, and much prefers to keep to milk or something equally innocent.
4. Has a tendency to over-analyze morbidly, with Jane at one point noting that thinking about the end of the universe seems to be Ender's own peculiar manifestation of motion sickness.
5. Prefers to live somewhere where he can see the sky and the weathers of the world, due to spending most of his childhood trapped in what was essentially a big bunker in space.
6. Has a massive obsession with Shakespeare and can quote from any of his plays on a whim.
no subject
1. Once had sex with her boyfriend while they were committing grand theft auto.
2. Stayed with relatives who cared about her off and on after the first time she ran away at 10, and continued after she permanently ran away at 15; that she's still in contact with them is canon, and I figure that's how she escaped the worst life on the street can offer a kid-- whenever it got too bad, she'd couch-surf with a cousin or aunt who'd cover for her for a few weeks.
3. Has three different fake passports: Canadian, Russian, and American. Any of them would pass an inspection checkpoint.
4. Can use a knife in a fight fairly well, and isn't afraid to do it.
5. Immigrated with her family when she was 5 (per the actress). Does not have any siblings; her dad died when she was younger than ten, her mom remarried when she was about ten.
Random Canon: (which is sadly still very sparse)
1. Her street name was "Meow-meow." She would really love it if no one in Fandom ever found that out. Also had a friend named Thumper. Oh, canon.
2. Her stepdad locked her in a closet for laughing too loud. It's intimated he was also physically abusive, although she's said, "He didn't hurt me... hurt me." So I'm guessing there was no sexual abuse. But he scared her more than Baba Yaga when she was little.
3. Broke up with the first guy she loved, Tim, when she caught him "lurrrving another girl from behind." Despite trying really hard, and forgiving him, she couldn't love him any more after that. She will never cheat on any boyfriend she has because of that.
4. Studied ballet for years when younger; her aunt shows off adorable pictures of her as teeny blond in a tiara and tutu. [Ksenia Solo was a ballerina until a back injury diverted her into acting, and she danced in Black Swan most recently.]
5. Could summon Baba Yaga. Let's all be glad she has no reason to.
6. Drinks like a Russian kid raised on vodka. She's not an alcoholic, but if there's booze, it's there to be drunk!
no subject
1. He actually finds Fandom less weird than Eureka. I mean, his restaurant hasn’t even nearly been destroyed, yet!
2. He’s 32 (canon isn’t real specific about Vince, okay? Dude doesn’t even have a last name. In a canon where most characters do.)
3. He’s a homoromantic asexual. He likes boys, but he’d rather make cupcakes than have sex.
4. He was born and raised in Eureka. Which means not only is the weird his normal, but also that he’s got at least a background in a lot of advanced science topics, though his PhD is in molecular gastronomy.
5. He’s a local history buff.
Random canon:
1. He’s really that blase. His whole restaurant gets eaten by a black hole and his response? “Well. That sucks.”
2. He can cook anything.
3. He loves a good theme day.
4. His freezer is large enough to require a shuttle and is powered by a nuclear reactor
5. He lives above his restaurant in case he gets “the midnight urge to baste something.”
no subject
1. Sleeps better when someone is in the room with him, but still only sleeps four or five hours a night, tops.
2. The ice cream addiction, though it's canon that he pretty much eats constantly.
3. Has a weird love of racing movies.
4. The bisexuality thing, though canon does have him falling for people who are a little broken. OR SITH.
5. His scars: canon is very bad about beating the shit out of him and then moving onto the next character. So I'm guessing that periods of torture with no access to bacta means that he's got a fairly gnarly looking back by now.
6. Jedi are constantly doing insanely athletic physical activities like it's nothing, so I think Ben has a very rigid exercise regime: running, weights, lightsaber training with Anakin (handwaved so my brain doesn't explode), abs...the less he's sleeping the more toned he becomes due to even more time spent in the gym.
Actual Canon:
1. The British accent that no one else in the family has.
2. His very terrible sense of humor (the joke about an Ewok in a lunchbox? Trying to name people Whango Mittphool? ALL HIM)
3. He really did grow a Padawan braid for a year.
4. He learned to become an assassin in a MORNING. As you do.
5. He has no friends at all that weren't friends of his parents or his older cousins first. NO WONDER HE MAKES BAD ROMANTIC DECISIONS.
6. Sithkisser. SIGH.
no subject
no subject
1. When her parents got divorced she chose to stay with her mom because she didn't want to abandon her.
2. Since in canon we only heard about Caroline going to visit her dad in some other city once and met him in town once over the course of more than a year, I'm saying she has a mostly monetary and approval-based relationship going on there. So yeah, daddy issues in case the whole Damon thing didn't make that obvious.
3. This is based on canon, but I don't think she ever deals with any of her issues, just shoves them aside and obsesses over something like nothing was every wrong.
4. Is a straight A queen. It goes with her weird perfection issues nicely. That said, finals in Fandom freak her the hell out because there's not usually something she can study or make notecards for.
5. Gets freaked out by medieval-looking people. She doesn't understand how they function or can survive in life without an iPad (which she canonically possesses).
Canon:
1. Has an activities list a mile long, including Miss Mystic Falls, StuCo VP, cheerleading, pep squad, MF Go Green initiative, volunteer work in soup kitchens, etc. I get tired trying to remember it all.
2. Has some serious self esteem issues and is kind of obsessed with being perfect.
3. Gets frisky when she's bored. Heaven forbid a guy want to watch sports.
4. Is a wolf-whisperer. Seriously. She was able to quiet wolf!Tyler by talking to him.
5. Aaaand she has a thing for whatever guy is probably the worst choice for her at any given moment, i.e. vampires when she's human, humans and werewolves when she's a vampire. At least she doesn't see dead people.
no subject
1) Had a foster sister who stole a car and took him for a joyride in it.
2) Due to the whole "constantly shuffled through homes because people thought he was crazy" thing, doesn't trust people easily.
3) Has never been outside of Ontario before Fandom.
4) Is incredibly tight-fisted with money to the point where he only owns the very basics.
5) Is still waiting for Child & Youth Services to track him down and try to bring him back 'home'.
Actual Canon:
1) Doesn't remember anything of his childhood pre-foster-care besides a few flashes.
2) Has a younger brother out there somewhere. Unless he doesn't. The writers sort of forgot about that plot point.
3) Doesn't know his father, his mother may or may not be alive. Again, canon's forgotten that storyline.
4) Brings homeless people (or at least one homeless person) to the hospital reguarly under the pretense of them needing medical care, when really all they need is someplace warm to sleep.
5) Set his foster father's garage on fire when he was eight before the guy had the chance to act on certain totally inappropriate thoughts.
no subject
HEADCANON
1. Went through a phase where she couldn't even stomp on bugs. She got over this.
2. This is actually canon, but I expand on it more: she's got these little rules she sets for herself about what she can do and how she can behave. It's partly a defense mechanism, knowing what she's going to be going into, and will be totes unhealthy right until book seven.
3. Keeps her dirt collection in her quarters at home. It's one of the few things from Earth she still has and keeps out.
4. She's Han's kid, and the Rogues used to refuse to gamble with a Jedi. I take that to mean she's pretty good at it. Which means that she can afford to do stuff thanks to savings from Fandom and the occasional trip to Vegas!
5. Thanks to having multiple ones a year sometimes, she tends not to celebrate or even acknowledge her birthday. Usually.
6. Knows way too much about bad daytime TV than she should.
7. She pings me as straight (save for her sekrit gf), but mainly I have her stick to that because SHE HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE WITH BOYS LET'S NOT ADD ANOTHER GENDER TO IT.
ACTUAL CANON
1. Can still finish Zekk's sentences, but this is less of a Joiner thing now, and more because they're just close partners. (Not dirty.)
2. Forgets to do things like eat when she gets all determined and into things.
3. Has decent fashion sense, when she's not wearing her robes or a flightsuit or something. (Headcanon: I say it's due to the time she spent getting Barbie Dolled on Hapes.)
4. Is a really moderate drinker. She might be described as having a glass, but save for one time (the membrosia hangover in the DNT that partly led to the "Nothing happened" morning with Zekk) she's not described as having more than a sip.
5. Tinkers with machinery when she's really upset.
6. She throws Star Wars curses around kind of a lot. Zekk narrates at one point that he didn't even know most of those words before getting Joined with her.
7. As far as I can figure, her first kill was at fourteen. (Unless that particular Nightsister comes back somehow, which, let's face it, is always possible.)
There, now it's even.
no subject
1) That total inability to cook has now graduated to not-entirely-hopeless thanks to a couple cooking/baking classes in Fandom.
2) He's thisclose to getting his ABA accreditation (uh, hopefully I've got the right term here, I am not an accounting student myself) thanks to correspondence/NPC classes & the fact that his home universe's time moves much faster than Fandom's.
3) Has a copy/shadow/imprint of Emma Frost hanging around in his brain. This was a canon thing that never really was explained before it was never heard from again, but I love the idea so I'm running with it.
4) Can heal himself from most injuries by switching between his ice and human forms.
5) Is totally still only allowed one coffee a day. Seriously, he's got enough energy without the caffiene.
Actual Canon:
1) Pretty much ignores the fact that he is (or has the potential to be) one of the most powerful mutants on the planet. Something that smacks him in the face every so often when he's forced to deal with it.
2) Is conflicted enough about being a mutant that he actually ended up creating an extremely powerful mental block that convinced him (and everyone around him) that he'd lost his powers.
3) Traveled back in time and spent an undefined period of time living in 1970s Israel.
4) Was put in jail "for his own good" after being publicly outed as a mutant.
5) Occassionally resents having to be "the jokester" all the time, but won't ever stop because he believes that's what people need him to be.
no subject
1) Due to being good at chemistry, will actually be a good baker whenever I get around to having him try it.
2) Has a secret fondness for really good cheeses.
3) That whole 'likes boys' thing. Although that's actually fanon for a good chunk of the fandom, apparently.
4) Took piano lessons for most of his childhood and still practices in his spare time, with a fondness for piano covers of classic rock. (Canon does say he plays keyboards for Magnet 360, so this is extension-of more than anything else.)
5) Despite (canon) attempts at making money for college, every now and then he gets the urge to drop out of school and run away to be a rock star.
Actual Canon:
1) Once felt so ignored that he turned invisible. No, he did not then go on to become a government assassin.
2) Once almost got eaten by a venus flytrap turned into a girl, owned by the girl who would go on to become his girlfriend.
3) Once almost killed every single member of his science club by typoing 'A club member will diet' as 'die' in a list of fake horoscopes that then, by virtue of SKIENCE!, became true.
4) "Let's put that sucker in that other sucker and see what these two suckers can do!" No, seriously.
5) Once gave his high school a cold. The building, not the student body.
Okay, so I've talked about most of the canon stuff so far, but seriously, this show, how do you even
no subject
1) Ryan's parents keep their distance from her because they feel guilty about not getting medical care for her until it was too late.
2) She's afraid that other people will keep their distance when they find out how sick she is, so she doesn't tell anyone.
3) She'll try anything once. Her mentality is that she never knows when she'll get a second chance.
4) She's terrified of insects (you would be, too, if you got bitten by an assassin bug).
5) Besides the damage to her heart, her illness also causes problems with her stomach. So far, she think she's gotten pretty good at hiding her symptoms from everyone.
Actual Canon:
1) Ryan is slowly dying from something called Chagas disease.
2) Her first appearance in canon is when she steals another doctor's taxi because she needs to get to the airport ASAP after quitting her job.
3) She never actually bought a plane ticket. She just hung around the airport for a couple days before heading back to the clinic to get her job back. This was a regular occurrence for her.
4) Loves her work as a doctor, but hates being in relationship limbo with the clinic's director.
5) She takes her baths in a local river just steps away from a public hiking trail. It doesn't bother her when hikers accidentally see her naked.
no subject
...I'm not sure I've filled anything in for Dave. I swear, everything I need can usually be pulled from some part of canon. Well...
1) Dave can't hold his booze as a teenager. I know this is not typically a problem for Midwesterners, but he's still young.
I can't even use the whole "girl way out of his league finds him attractive, especially when not in her right mind," since he ends up reluctantly picking up an Australian supermodel in canon while he's already in a secret office romance with one of his reporters.
Actual Canon:
1. Dave has a past as a performer named the Great Throwgali. He even keeps his throwing knives in his desk.
2. Actually is terrified that someone will find out he's Canadian and therefore think he's a spy. He realizes that this is a stupid, childish fear, but that doesn't stop him from having a complex because of it.
3. Actually was hooked on Stargate Defender in high school. He did poorly on the SATs because he stayed up all night before the test playing it. He would do this again as a 31 year old when his girlfriend makes him take a practice SAT with her because she's concerned she's becoming stupider.
4. Complete caffeine addict. In season 1, he says that he's up to "2 or 3 pots a day, 4 on a Monday."
5. Can handle stress pretty well for a while, but will eventually break. At one point he tells a coworker that his blood pressure tends to rise steadily throughout the week. "And then it goes down over the weekend?" "No."
See? Even I can't top stuff like that.

ZING. Take that Billy Ray!
no subject
1. Bruce hasn't been back in Gotham City since he started his training, not even for the anniversary of his parents' death. He feels he can't go back until he's made substantial progress with The Plan.
2. Up until fairly recently, most of Bruce's romantic interests have been redheads. The great love who will nearly derail his plan will be a redhead. The sidekick who he starts a relationship with in DCAU canon? Redhead. His mother, naturally, was a redhead. I'm just going ahead and calling Dr Freud.
3. A lot of Bruce's tutors. Generally I try to find someone who at least cameoed on JLU who I could justify as being old enough to teach him (like Wildcat) or I take someone from Batman comics and just vague it up if they never appeared in the DCAU (like Henry Ducard a month or two ago).
4. Bruce's friendship with Jason Blood. It's made clear in TNBA that the two go way back, but it's left vague as to how Blood knows that Bruce is Batman. So why not make him a tutor?
5. Bruce's upcoming college career at Gotham U. Mask of the Phantasm makes it clear that at SOME POINT he's at the university regularly,
Actual Canon
1. This isn't necessarily B:TAS canon, but it is comics canon and I needed to steal it: One of the many languages Bruce has mastered is Esperanto. Fits in well with my decade-long obsession with Esperanto.
2. As shown in Mask of the Phantasm, Bruce's limo has a car phone. A ROTARY CAR PHONE. That's B:TAS Gotham in a nutshell.
3. One of his gadgets before he picks the bat motif? A hammer for smashing windshields. This from a guy who will eventually be able to punch through most windshields with two shots, tops.
4. Bruce is so rich that he will one day secretly build and launch a high tech satellite to serve as the base of the JL, purposely crash it within two years, then build a better one, with teleportation platforms and giant lasers, AND NOBODY WILL BLINK AT THE MISSING MONEY.
5. Bruce's dating history in the DCAU is pretty spectacular. You get the standard Catwoman (although only while she's reformed, not when she falls off the wagon later) and Talia. Then you get to the surprising choices like Lois Lane (he totally stole her from Superman), Batgirl, and Wonder Woman. And then there's the original creation, Andrea Beaumont. But the only woman to ever win his hand in marriage? Susan Maguire. She's a plant. Literally, a plant, made by Poison Ivy. The marriage was annulled when she tried to kill him, then Bruce locked her in the stateroom and blew up the cruise ship they were honeymooning on. It's a good idea to never marry Bruce Wayne. He will watch you sink and flip his ring into the ocean while his hot female sidekick takes him away in his helicopter.
That episode gave us this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emgeMj13cxg), one of the greatest Batman clips ever. You know what? Screw it.
6) Bruce doesn't know what happiness is. BUT HE LIKES IT.
no subject
1- Pretty much everything happening in Faerie. Canon never explains what happens to her once she leaves Bordertown.
2- Leda being an Anarchist. It just seemed to me that a girl who rejected the social morays of her parents, living in a city that had no central government would be one.
3- Leda's aversion to the ocean and forests. Bordertown is a landlocked city. Most of the time.
4- Much of what Leda's magic can do. The extent of Elven magic in the Borderlands series is never fully developed.
5- Lord Corwyn is the central villain. He is a canon character who shows up in one of the short stories having nothing to do with Leda. But he seemed like a perfect choice.
Actual Canon
1- Leda's substance abuse.
2- Leda has dated both Mooner and his sister Wiseguy
3- Due to accidental time travel, child Leda was living in a shack in back of Castle Pup at the same time that teenage Leda was living in the actual building.
4- Leda is a big fan of classic literature, particularly adventure stories. She named Strider after Aragorn.

1. Since we've heard very little about Annie's dad so far and he doesn't seem at all financially responsible for her, I assume he's a good guy, but that she doesn't see him much.
2. Her giant list of extracurriculars that she signed up with for StuCo. I basically polled a couple people and asked what they had at their high schools and picked and chose the things Annie would have most likely at least tried in three years. And she'd still put those things on there even if she hated them and didn't stick with it.
3. Her mom is the type to sweep things under the rug and not deal with problems. If something's wrong, you're just going to have to suck it up and get through it. While this is something Annie's guilty of sometimes, when it really comes down to it, she'll work through it.
4. I figure Annie's repression and self-esteem issues have a lot to do with her mom, too, and being away from her in Fandom is slowly chipping away at the issues.
5. Watches Celebrity Rehab to see if it compares to the real thing.
ACTUAL CANON
1. Jewish on her dad's side. Please don't invite her to any pool parties that are secretly baptisms.
2. Was a cheerleader. Also wanted to quit but her mom wouldn't let her.
3. Her mom also opposed Annie going into rehab. This eventually led to Annie getting financially cut off.
4. Lost her virginity to her boyfriend on the floor of a closet to Madonna's "Erotica." He's gay now.
5. Knows how to handle a gun. In fact, she owns one (or, in Fandom, will). It is the girliest damn gun ever.
6. Has some degree of bicuriosity going on. (Hi, Britta.)
7. Has seen Star Wars. But not enough to GET THE QUOTES RIGHT, GOD, ANNIE.
8. Got her first stress headache when she was four.
9. Once tried to straighten the lines on the football field during a game.

Oh, really? ;)
no subject
1) The entire idea of Troy deciding to do both basketball and theatre (which, for my Troy, eventually ended up as just theatre), which was initially jossed when the second movie came out, and then confirmed when the third movie came out.
2) Nasty scar on his upper left thigh (from falling out of a tree and gouging it on a branch) when he was seven, long but narrow one on his right shoulderblade. Because no one that naturally athletic comes out of childhood unscarred.
3) Troy and Chad were each other's first kiss, when they were twelve. It was for SCIENCE!
4) Troy possesses reality-bending powers that allow him to be the most awesome basketball player on any team. At 5'7". It's the only explanation I've got.
5) Troy did basketball camp every summer from the time he was seven, until the year he came to Fandom instead.
Actual Canon:
1) Between the first and second movies (so, in FH canon, around the time he arrived at Fandom), Troy's singing voice dropped approximately an octave.
2) Is... really kind of a dick, in canon. Ditches his friends for the Hot Brainwashy Girl and then ditches his best friend on no notice to go to a completely different university.
3) Has a thing for climbing trees.
4) Troy possesses reality-bending powers that allow him to be the most awesome basketball player on any team. Seriously, it is the only explanation I've got.
5) Is kind of an insane natural at theatre, too. Moreso in stage canon, where Darbus is actually a competent teacher, but even in movie canon it's the only explanation for how he's managed to be that good with so little practice or training.
6) Looks absolutely smashing in this hat.
