What are your previous Golden Guard headcanons?

BIRDIE MY BELOVED.

The first thing you need to know is that Birdie is a girl. A trans girl! And I am Not arguing on the specifics of what sex the Golden Guards are bc frankly I Don’t Care. Schrödinger’s gender baby they’re all simultaneously trans and cis. None of my Business. But she is a girl who would really like to kiss other girls <3

ANYWAY Birdie is Not her actual name. Bc she doesn’t Have one. Though I think she might have eventually landed on Birdie as her name if she survived long enough to think about it. But for both Transing her gender reasons and also bc she’s a lil shit she changed her name like allll the time. Completely on a whim. The only thing all of her names had in common was that she kept naming herself after random birds (hence Birdie). Jackdaw, Bluejay, Canary, Nightingale, etc. Darius tended to just riff off of whatever bird she’s chosen today and move on bc he can’t be assed to come up with a new creative nickname every day. Iconic. But he eventually started calling her Birdie to keep his sanity lol

Birdie was young in all aspects, really. She silently replaced the Guard that had been with Belos when he rose to power, whom had served Belos for like 20 years at that point. Most thought they were the same person, though some who had been around the old Guard noticed she was bit Off. I used to have a more solid timeline on when she came out of the ground and her age in relation to the Guard before her & Darius & Belos’ rule but I have since lost it and I am SO bad at math so I’ve been putting it off lmao. The broad strokes is that she came out of the ground as a teenager and was 2-4 years older than Darius “biologically” but significantly younger than him chronologically. They started their mentorship when Darius was 16, though they met when he was 14 and had regular interactions because of his initial mentorship with the previous Head of abomination. Darius was one of the few people who knew that she had replaced the old Guard.

Her relationship with Belos was… hm. Well. Rocky is a nice way of putting it. She served him loyally initially, but she was a curious person by nature and she never took anything at face value. Inevitably, she began asking questions. And when Belos didn’t give her satisfactory answers, she went to find her own. She didn’t have the all-consuming trust in Belos that most of the other guards did on account of Belos creating her as a teenager, instead of a younger, easier to manipulate child. She trusted him, of course, but hadn’t served him very long and didn’t have years of his gaslighting muddying the waters. He rushed her creation, admittedly, and didn’t handle her with the same careful manipulations as most of the other guards since he was trying to set his long-awaited plans in motion. She had been created to fill the space at his side, as he couldn’t be without a golden guard at that time, since he was just starting to enact his anti-wild witch policies. Overtime, her curiosity turned into subtle rebellion, and that in addition to her transition put her at constant odds with Belos. This paragraph doesn’t do them justice, but my brains mush rn so I’ll have to talk more in depth about them some other time. But also the only thing belos hates more than witches is Women. Birdie is a girl with his brothers face. You Know How He Is.

She died trying to kill Belos. Very brazenly. It was entirely based on impulse and a Very Bad Idea.

Her head got chopped off.

Birdie, when not donning the Golden Guard persona, was an absolute MENACE. She was sooooo annoying. In a similar way to Hunter as the Guard, honestly, but less condescending and more Loud & Obnoxious. Also she was significantly more willing to bite people. Which is saying a lot because Hunter bites a lot of people. Her GG persona was based off the previous Guard, who was almost entirely silent and only ever spoke when spoken to by Belos or a Head.

She was also suuuuper angry. All the time. She was fun and chill with her friends and No One Else. She was absolutely fuming 24/7 even if she could rarely express it through anything that wasn’t Violence. But had she lived into a full adulthood she would have chilled out and become a super cool but wildly irresponsible lesbian aunt.

She wanted to be a bard soooo bad. She LOVED music. And magic!

She was kind of a dumbass teenager and I love that for her, honestly. She and Darius did Stupid Teenager Things whenever they could. Granted some of their Stupid Teenager Things involved a lot more underground fighting rings, accidental vigilantism, breaking the laws of nature and arson but that’s another story.

Darius and Birdie were BEST FRIENDS, okay. Platonic Soulmates. Up until the point that it would be funnier for them to be dating. Then they were dating until it stopped being Funny. This was a constant loop that neither took seriously. (They were of all each other had, at the time.)

Both of them live and die for the Bit. Yes/and is their life’s motto. This has gotten them into just as much trouble as it’s gotten them out of.

Darius and Birdie had a small group of friends, for a while. They were a bubbly bunch of Coven Scouts. They befriended Darius (read: forcefully adopted) initially and Birdie got absorbed into their group despite her insistence on being their rival bc they “stole her trainee”. The coven scouts were a good bit older than both of them and eventually made it to elite squad status. They all ended up dying, except for one. She’s still alive, but Darius cut her off after Birdie’s death.

Darius first thought when he saw Hunter’s face was “WHEN did birdie have time to procreate” followed by a slightly hysterical “I can’t believe she cheated on me”. He continues to think he’s Birdie’s kid until Hunter outright tells him about the grimwalker thing and he has a Crisis about it

I have an au where Darius and Birdie panic-kidnap Hunter and dip. They get the hagsquad involved Against Their Will. Questionable parenting abound. It’s fun!

This does NOT do her ANY justice but I can’t think rn :(( if you’d like to know something actually substantial about her lmk!!

#FUN FACT I actually have another version of Darius mentor named Jasper #and he’s super fun too and I looove himmm and I think he probably makes more sense for TOH and Darius as a character #BUT BIRDIE IS MY BABY AND I LOVE HER.#toh #not proofread bc if I stopped to think about what I was typing I would have gotten too nervous to post #darius deamonne #oc: Birdie #anon ask #mine

Can you imagine Hawk and Demetri being protective of Miguel and Sam’s relationship!

Oh yes, they absolutely would be!!! Those are their Emotional Support Token Straights must be protected at all costs!!! Man, they ship it SO hard, especially Demetri XD I mean, it’s basically his best guy and girl friend dating and being in love, and he’s totally on board with that. Not to mention it makes it easier to hang out with both of them, even if they’re a bit on the mushy side sometimes XD Man, Demetri just thinks Sam and Miguel are MADE for each other, and you best believe he is just positively GLEEFUL when they become a thing again! I’ll bet he came up with a ship name for them in-universe and has long-since called dibs on being the best man at their wedding (bold of Demetri to assume this high school couple is gonna end in marriage, but he has more hope than than he probably should XD).

Granted, I do think Sam and Hawk’s relationship would have a bit of a rocky start--mainly because Hawk would be wary of Sam breaking his boy Miguel’s heart again, and Sam would be none too fond of Hawk after all the shit he put her boy Demetri through previously. But Miguel vouches for Sam to Hawk, and Demetri vouches for Hawk to Sam, and eventually Sam and Hawk learn to trust each other. And once they warm up to each other more, they actually realize they MAD VIBE and become weirdly close friends. It surprises everyone in the damn dojo because they’re such vastly contrasting people, and are definitely the most bizarre, random unexpected friendship there. Even Daniel and Johnny are both thrown for a loop, having resigned themselves to the fact there’s no way those two will EVER get along, and now they’re like...best friends??? What the fuck???

(The secret is they spend a lot of time bonding over what a fuck Kyler is and making fun of Demetri for That One Time he dated Yasmine XD)

And Demetri, oh man...he gets SO much mileage out of teasing Miguel about the fact that he is now regularly making out with and exchanging handjobs with a rich girl, a feat Demetri once believed to be impossible. And Miguel just rolls his eyes like “Dude you literally ALSO did that for a while” and Demetri pretends he didn’t hear him because We Don’t Talk About Yasmine. Boy, was that embarrassing.

Demetri also regularly greets Sam and Miguel with “HEY, IT’S THE STRAIGHTS!!! Okay guys, everyone relax, Sam and Miguel are here! We now have our legally-required heterosexual representation! The SJW-haters can’t come for us now!” (because...can you think of??? A single other heterosexual pairing in the entire damn combined dojo??? Even if Aisha were to come back, ain’t nobody convincing me she doesn’t have the biggest Butch Lesbian Energy on the entire planet) and Miguel and Sam lowkey lose their shit every time. Demetri and Hawk both get suuuuper protective of Sam and Miguel, and they joke it’s because if the dojo loses its only resident heterosexuals, it won’t legally be considered sexually diverse enough and will have to be shut down XD

Also these four lowkey become a Power Squad, with Sam and Miguel as the dojo’s resident Straight Karate Power Couple and Hawk and Demetri as the dojo’s resident Gay Karate Power Couple (if Aisha were to ever come back, she would definitely join the Power Squad and there would be no end to the chaos and shenanigans XD). These four highkey constantly tease and roast one another, but they’re also all super Ride or Die for one another at the end of the day, and you best believe Demetri and Hawk are Throwing Hands if anyone comes for their Straights! Same goes for Sam and Miguel being pretty protective of Hawk and Dem--Miguel certainly has a soft spot for his first two friends at West Valley High, and Sam will do anything for her boys!

Maybe all I need in my life is just some wholesome fics of Sam, Miguel, Demetri, and Hawk just all hanging out and goofing off and going on double dates and being generally #SquadGoals ;__;

Just out of curiosity since you mentioned it, is there anything else that gives you the “ick” in the fanfiction/blogging world? Because I agree with the triplets thing, and there’s just a lot of other tropes and habits that sometimes make me cringe when I see them, so I was wondering what yours were?

oh GOD there’s so fucking many idk where to start.

I mean, let’s start with them blatant disregard for characters personality to suit someone’s fantasy. I won’t even read fics that don’t match a personality because I’m like “this isn’t even the same character?” like when people make Stiles suuuuper dominant and stuff. like, that isn’t stiles?? he’s so spazzy and it’s adorable and we love him that way but it’s so not him when people portray him like christian grey it’s so bad it actually makes me laugh because it’s not even the same character anymore.

on the topic of that though, it irritates the shit out of me when people overkill certain trends. using stiles as an example, overkill on the jeep, Star Wars, curly fries, his twitchiness, his flannels, you get the picture. like, seriously? seriously? i can’t even finish fics that overdo it with those things. reference them. they’re just a part of his personality, not the whole personality, y’all!!

some nicknames just make my skin crawl and idk why. I see them and I’m like oh god no. ones that immediately come to mind are out of character nicknames which again is just a personal thing I guess but it icks me out when people use nicknames characters just wouldnt use. mitch can pull off ‘kitten’, stuart absolutely fucking could not. stiles would say ‘buttercup’ or ‘cupcake’, sam would make it feel weird. you catch my drift?

with nicknames though, some just make me all kinds of NO. I hate “lover” as a nickname. as a word it’s fine but calling someone lover unironically makes me wanna gag. putting boo on names is something i don’t like but putting poo on the end actually makes me ick. like take the name bobby for example, bobby-boo is barely acceptable, maybe as a joke, but bobby-poo actually makes me wanna dry heave i would close the fic. I don’t know why. I just hate it. I don’t think it’s cute and if someone called me chloe-boo or chloe-poo or something i would legitimately feel uncomfortable in my own skin. other nicknames with this same affect are rhyming names like are you writing song lyrics?? no?? then stop it was wavey navy davie pavy blah blah like girl what is you doing??? hate it. kids have rhyming nicknames not your literal lover (acceptable use I’ve the word lover, example given). however, boo itself is cute for friends. my friends call me boo, puddin, babe, and they’re all cute.

god i have so much fucking ICK what else, i mean I’ve mentioned it before but nothing makes me roll my eyes harder than girls being bitchy for no reason or girls against girls for no reason. there’s literally NO need for female protagonists to be so mean, and there’s no need for girls to be up against girls.

also, the “falling in love with someone who’s in a relationship but you don’t do anything but they leave the other person for you in the end” thing. tv, books, fanfic, i don’t care bc it’s toxic. I hate it. the “you can’t help who you fall in love with” UM YES THE FUCK YOU CAN. if someone is in a relationship even if it’s rocky or going through a hard patch literally do not get close enough to one of them to develop those feelings?? like??? i know a blatant case of it that happened in real life and it’s fucking awful and it makes me sick. don’t be so generic and toxic.

hmmm oh also there’s versions of that “bad boy who’s soft only for his girl” thing that make me want to choke. like i don’t want him to be nice only to me, i want a badboy who’d take a bullet for his friends and has six rescue cats b also punches racists. I want someone who stands up for themselves but can admit when they’re wrong. like what the fucking is hardin scott. I know we all laugh about FuCkInG tReVoR but for serious thats the most toxic man ever don’t do it

that’s all i can think of right now but there’s so fuckinf much like honestly it makes me wanna scream but thanks for asking :)
