#elaborate head canon

[alynnl]

@cakesandfail's post about Vetinari and Vimes got the gears in my head turning. (One can also point out my obsession with Ace Attorney for this plot bunny I'm about to share.)

The idea: What if there was another assassination attempt on Vetinari, and all the forged, circumstantial evidence points to Vimes?

Public opinion is split between those who only have an idea about who Vimes is and think "Of course he did it!" and those who actually know him arguing "Of course he was set up!"

Vimes gets arrested by Carrot, and he goes quietly. It's to show that even he is not above the law. Even the Commander of the Watch has someone who watches him. Carrot is overly polite about it but the arrest is very real.

Vimes has only one request, that Sybil and Young Sam are able to visit him so he can still read to his son every night. This request is granted without question because the accused have the right to see family, no matter the crime.

Carrot, Angua, Cheri, and a few other members of the Watch form their own investigation team to find out what really happened.

Vetinari is fighting for his life. It's touch and go at first but even in a state of fever he has moments of lucidity. In these moments he sends coded messages to Drumknott to give to the task force important information. (He just knows some members of the Watch will rally behind Vimes to find the truth.)

Vimes knows the best thing he can do is wait and see and he hates it. But he also trusts the rest of the Watch to do the right thing.

Things come to a head when Vimes's enemies (Lord Rust and others like him) call for him to be brought to the gallows, while Carrot and company argue with decisive evidence for his innocence. Neither side will budge.

A single voice, saying a single word "Silence." cuts through the crowd. It's none other than Vetinari, who has recovered. And who commends Carrot for his efforts, but points out there is one piece of evidence he's been missing. (It's been with Vetinari all along.)

It's a very specific device, not made by the Guild of Alchemists or Assassins, but by the Cunning Artificers. And every single forged piece of evidence is also linked to this one person, who has been getting people framed for different crimes left and right and profiting off the reward money that comes from turning them in. Vimes and Vetinari were on the verge of catching them, so they raised the stakes to their highest.

The artificer made a miscalculation. They didn't count on Vetinari's recovery or anyone coming to Vimes's defense.

Carrot arrests the artificer, and reads their charges as always. After they're taken away he releases Vimes and there is much cheering, and to everyone's surprise, confetti. Sybil and Young Sam go in for a family hug with Vimes and Vetinari slips away from the fanfare with Drumknott, completely unnoticed.

Carrot and the other watchmen approach Vimes and salute, welcoming him back. He returns the salute and wonders how they managed to pull everything off.

Carrot mentions offhandedly "We did what you would do, sir."

"You mean you called every one of those “clues” fake and every person of interest a suspicious bastard?”

“Well, I didn’t use that language, sir, but I couldn’t stop Angua once she got started.”

“Good on her, I think she’ll be up for a promotion.”

Later that night, long after the fanfare has died down and normal city life assumes, Vimes marches into Vetinari’s office without being summoned. Of course His Lordship is expecting the Commander and greets him with his trademark “Ah, Vimes.”

Vimes hits him with the “You knew” line he often does and Vetinari gives no indication of what he knew at all. Only that things worked out in the end “And isn’t that enough for you?”

This stops Vimes in his tracks because of course it’s enough. They’re both alive and because of that, Ankh Morpork as a whole will be safe. He knows that. He pauses, and then tries to get the last word in, saying that since the case is finally solved, he’s going to spend more time with his family since he missed a week with them as it is.

“Yes, I expect some time at home is long overdue.”

“And one more thing!”

Vimes hand Vetinari a get well card, making it very clear that it was Sybil’s idea, and she wrote it on some very expensive stationery but couldn’t get it to him until now. Vetinari receives it and asks Vimes to send his regards.

They finally part ways, with Vimes unsure of what their meeting really meant (feeling almost like Vetinari was in control even though he approached the Oblong Office first.)

Vetinari, in the meantime returns to a Thud board he’s been playing by correspondence. He makes a move and has Drumknott write down a Clacks code to send it. Drumknott comments that he made a rather daring move.

But sometimes a daring move is what it takes to win the game.

Tartaglia as ur husband who’s got a breeding kink. He’s already given you three kids and wants to fuxk more into you. When he sees you being such a good mom to your children it makes him go feral. He can hardly hold back until they’re asleep and it’s just you and him.

Of course you’re tried from taking care of three kids all on your own, while your husband is away for long hours…if not weeks or months at a time. But don’t worry, he’ll take care of your tired, worn out body! In more ways than one!

You know the Jedi Temple lightsaber training halls and dueling rooms almost certainly must have had sound systems. Probably useful for announcements and instructions during lightsaber tournaments. Some Masters like to practice with music for battle meditation reasons: particular chanting, new age flutes and hand drums. Very zen.

OR. You're a sixteen year old shitboy Sifo-Dyas, you use it to pump in the filthiest club hits of the early 2010s to totally throw off your lightsaber prodigy best friend's game during sparring matches. Can you imagine how super serious, Temple-sheltered, Yoda-is-my-dad teen!Dooku's experience of radio pop and hip hop would go?? When he's trying to focus on super serious lightsaber calculus Makashi? How distracting and upsetting he would find it? How confusing? “But that booty don’t need explaining”?! But it DOES. It does. 

And I would sit down and write this one shot right now except I can't figure out how Sifo-Dyas knows every line of Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty" except that I just spiritually know that he does. I read those teenage chaos sections of Dooku: Jedi Lost and I know it. There's just no conceivable way that the lyrics "first class seat on my lap, girl" hasn't come out of his mouth. Probably, let's be honest, directed at Dooku.

Oh god, and what did Anakin use that sound system for?!

#this is an elaborate head canon but I feel it in my bones #I'm not here to explain myself #except I guess yes that is specifically why I am here #sifo dyas #makashi #dooku jedi lost #star wars shitpost

thinking about how both tfa (2015) and rogue one (2016) came out post-disney's acquisition of lucasfilms (2012) and both those films live on so fondly in my heart but have also, somehow, been earmarked in my head as the last true additions to star wars canon to have come out ever since

#personal #like even if i enjoy watching things that aren't those two movies post-disney it's like #for whatever reason. my head files it as ''haha that was fun. glad that's not canon'' #WHICH IS ADMITTEDLY. A WILD THING TO THINK. LIKE THOSE TV SHOWS AND CARTOONS ARE DEFINITELY CANON #but my brain REFUSES to acknowledge them as such #obviously half of it is ''some of this reads like absolute bullshit'' #but the other half is ''i straight up enjoyed this. this was fun to me. but also it's not canon <3'' #wish i could just unequivocally like everything but alas my standards are hard to parse even for me #the person who has them #AUGHHHH #don't ask me how tcw fits into this as it's in a weird middle ground #tcw in my head is like...... jedi apprentice.... or the comics...... in that it's canon except it isn't except it IS. #i CANNOT elaborate. my thoughts are an enigma unto myself.

moments from the torres family holoscrapbook!

#star trek voyager #miral torres #my art #trek #scream 11 pm but i made it. day 2 yayyyy #very hard to get a grip on miral's personality from canon but. i truly believe that john torres was on the receiving end of a lot of jokes #that not just flew they Soared over his head because miral tells them with a straight face <- klingon humor my beloved. #to me its like they're at a restaurant john goes oh the sky is so blue today. miral nods and says how unfortunate #and then pointedly looks down at the bowl of cooked meat in front of her and doesn't elaborate #<- she is very amused by her joke john thinks she hates the weather #which is only the beginning for them i fear. #LOL anyway !

woo. mew/two-ifying fandom character trend thing

tbh my “favorite” character fluctuates often, but I’ve been thinking about this rich, entitled bastard a lot recently ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(also uh. I should probably note that I am aware of the controversy surrounding Danganronpa, and I do not support the creators or the games themselves. canon sucks ass and I do not care for it)

+ some stupid cleaned up doodles under the cut because I am completely sane and normal

#my art #pokemon #mewtwo #mew #lucario #danganronpa #byakuya togami #multifandom crossover #I guess #danganronpa canon sucks and the elaborate fanon story I’ve created in my head is superior /hj #i am cringe but i am free

people who make thorough analyses of bkdk’s relationship,, you’re literally so talented, I would start breaking down in the middle with “dude trust me” hddjgssjhd

#there’s so much canon evidence and you just expertly analyze the narrative while pointing out literary themes/parallels 😭 #AND staying level headed while touching on counter arguments #you’re able to put it IN WORDS!!!! #my discussions with people is either: ‘there’s something going on between bkdk’ ‘elaborate..’ ‘No.’ #or rambling on for hours to anyone who will listen #bkdk #dkbk #bakudeku #dekubaku #:’)

[kinokoshoujoart]

note: “69” is the word “rock” written in goroawase (substitution of letters for homophonic numbers) so it’s not uncommon to see him called 69 by jp users…

“the young lady” = lumina. (the “he” saying interesting things is rock. the other “he” is an insertion…)

taelwoo = they wrote teilou and this got auto translated funny

i wanted to spotlight these posts by twitter user wl_mihaya who has consistently neat writings regarding wonderful life’s characters

somehow i read this as Wada and Matsuyama showed the writing team the reference sheet again like “Look at this irredeemable debauchee. This spoilt summer child, this pampered prodigal prince who has tasted not the bitterness of life. This libertine, this chaud lapin. Coasting on the coattails of his well-to-do family in his obnoxiously baggy clothes. Disgusting. Good-for-nothing worthless son. Into the Romance Scenarios with him.”

AnWL’s NPC to tumblrsexyman conversion pipeline scenario writing department: “ok got it boss🫡(ohhhhhh what a tragic little meow meow 🥺 are you guys even seeing this. isn’t he just the most heartachingly aware of how pathetic he is yet utterly determined to carry on this pretense of confidence. let’s secretly make him wet and pathetic and impossibly stupid and so very Adopted)”

#queue tea pie #this is canon to me now #this would genuinely explain everything about his character change between awl and anwl #it’s bizarre to remember that rock being stupid was added for anwl #in awl he was just shallow but anwl transformed him into the dumbass king we know and love #i’m always nervous every time i translate stuff myself because. idk what if i inject bias. what if someone asks why it isn’t exactly #i especially don’t want to inject bias into someone’s twitter post so instead i just . leave the machine translation alone because #in my head that’s the Neutral choice #it’s still so incredible to me that this characters name accidentally perfectly fit him #SOMEONE at marvelous decided to include a number of extremely unnecessary physical facts about rock so. it feels like they still wanted him #i’m still mad that i went snooping in the dialogue files hoping for answers about his past and instead found out how much the writers #pondered his sweaty hairless surfer twink body and needed all of it to be canon information #i will NOT be elaborating at this time you don’t need to be hit with each round of psychic damage rapidfire like i was #trickle down rockonomics. because i care #rock tumbling (sos)

[lenievi]

ok, so uhm, I was walking the dog and had an idea (blame the hot weather at 11pm)

a year ago I had a one day long phase where I was like Farragut AU with Kirk/La’an and McCoy/T’Pring, and I’m low-key back on that nonsense

because!

McCoy and Sevet. Imagine McCoy meeting T’Pring’s father. 

“Jim, a smiling Vulcan?”

this is even better than McCoy&Sarek (blasphemy!)

McCoy and Sevet visiting various restaurants and just getting along nicely, and McCoy teaching him a lot of weird human traditions. 

#snw is slowly becoming the show where i'm like who cares about canon. i just want to take these few characters and do my own thing with them #then again i have such elaborate sarek&mccoy stuff living rent free in my head that i almost forgot that they didn't really interact lol #i'm converting myself to mccoy/t'pring. spock doesn't want her anyway #spock can stay on the enterprise with pike and chapel and the farragut can be filled with my faves lol #mostly kidding but i hope i convince my brain to write a fic how la'an got to serve on the farragut #snw nonsense

BUTCHER VANITY by Vane Lily is c!Pungence's theme song. No, I will not elaborate. (I will elaborate and that's a threat.)

#i am desperate to elaborate #obviously #obviously i mean my version of c!pungence thats only inspired from whatever canon hermitcraft has and i have nutured into my own #cycle of abuse narratives do something to me #no hes not a cannibal #hermitblr #hermitcraft #pungence #angst #angst angst angst #c!joe and c!pungences relationship be like #i told you hes a watcher #his brother did tell him hed join a cult #and desperately tried to not fall into the cycle of abuse #but he forgot hiding history doesnt prevent the cycle of abuse #and pungence fell head first with a smile flint and steel and a partner in crime #ask and i shall answer #not rpf

[cult-of-dollbabies]

(Salt I've already talked about incoming)

I think the worst part is the idea of the Colonel is actually terrifying, a chucky capable of taking out the whole army would be dire, with the priest strangulation scene the cabin of horrors was my favorite visual, the whole thing was just creepy as hell. The execution though.. in my opinion if the Colonel had been a possessed Andy it would've made more sense, a grown human man doing this is actually believable, not to mention his Kent Academy graduation, then the title ""the Colonel"" would've fit so well. and i genuinely believe he'd be much scarier than fuckin.. bald chucky. The disgrace

#cult talks to himself #probably will elaborate later #dont tell me Alex couldn't pull it off cause yes he could #variation of different dolls means VARIATION #he doesnt need to be loud or over the top hell the colonel in canon wasnt #remember his performance torturing the head in cult? anybody? please
