Star Wars Thought

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Headcannon

I was feeling nostalgic thinking of the show and had this thought, where did Yusei, Jack and Crow learn to ride their duel runners? The show says that the duel runner Jack stole from Yusei was the first one he built, but they already knew how to drive and do so well enough that Jack became the King of turbo duels shortly thereafter. All three do some pretty spectacular stunts while riding, and that’s not the kind of thing you learn in a day. So I was thinking, Satellite’s a dumping ground for junk and trash, and something that probably became a lot less popular after duel runners were invented are regular old motorcycles. What if the guys found some, or parts of some that Yusei and Crow then built into bikes, and taught each other how to ride. Martha’s great but there’s no way she had the time to keep constant supervision over all the kids she was raising all the time. It’s canon that Yusei, Jack, and Crow had the time and lack of supervision to get caught up in gang fights, so clearly they had pretty free reign to get up to who knows what. So we’ve got three pre-teen boys with little supervision who find and reconstruct some old motorcycles where they then teach themselves how to drive. They would have had plenty of space to run around and I imagine they probably dared each other into doing stupid stunts. They also probably taught themselves turbo duels with regular duel disks. I’m just picturing them being the adrenaline junkies that they are and doing all sorts of stupid stuff that probably eventually ended in the three beat up motorcycles being destroyed and then after they met Kyousuke and made their gang. We never got a full idea how long that stuff went in for, but I’m guessing only like a year or so. So, pre-teen trio teach themselves to drive and run their bikes into the ground over the course of a few years. Then the three, probably age 14-ish meet Kyousuke and all that stuff happens. The three split after the gang fell apart, at some point Yusei falls in with the three friends we see at the start of the show and he builds his first duel runner. This was something he probably started after their motorcycles broke and worked on off and on over the next three-ish years until Jack steals it at age 16-ish. Two years later and we’ve got the beginning of the show with Yusei at 18.

Fandom Complaint

I really hate the Marvel Superfamily trope for a number of reasons, mostly centering on the infantilization of Peter Parker and the erasure of his actual family in favor of Steve and Tony which makes me sick, I actually like that pairing but just give them their own kid, Peter’s characters is so OOC in all those stories anyway, just go all the way and make an actual OC.

But whatever, right now the thing that pisses me off the most about Marvel Superfamily is that they’ve stolen the term “Superfamily” from Superman and his actual family. How am I supposed to look up content about Chris, Conner, Jon, Kara and various related family members if Superfamily isn’t about the actual Superman Family?

Superman Problem

So the one thing about the old Superman movies I’ve never liked has been the Jesus analogy. The idea that Joe-El sent his son to earth so he could guide the humans and be their savior. I think Smallville did this too and I didn’t like it then either. Why would a man from a completely different planet who has never been to Earth and has no reason to care anything about it except as the planet where his son is going so he doesn’t die on Krypton care at all about saving humanity? He was facing certain death as his planet died around him and risked a lot n the chance that his son would survive being sent away in a ship, why would he spend any time creating a plan where he ordered his son to be alone and isolated apart from the species he was being sent to spend his life around. It just doesn’t make sense.

Doctor Who Headcannon

I have this idea about Susan and why the Doctor already has a granddaughter when he was still in his first incarnation. Like, his partner was much further along in their regenerations so the Doctor ended up having a kid really young. I’m going to say this was kind of a scandal, someone in their first incarnation with someone in, like, their seventh or something. Then Susan’s mother followed in her dad’s footsteps, kinda, only going even further and having a kid not only while still in their first incarnation but then with a non time lord, some other species with a lifespan about as long as a single regeneration. So Susan only has the one life, but it’s several centuries long. That’s a big reason why she left with the Doctor, Gallifrey does not look kindly on mixed species. They seem like the conservative type that way.

Hetalia Headcannon

This is a lot more AU than an actual Headcannon but I still like to apply it when I can. The Nations have the ability to look like whatever way they want to, they can switch their height, weight, race and gender whenever they feel like it, they just have a habit of sticking to the form they knew the best growing up.

PJO Headcannon

How powerful a demigod turns out to be is dependent upon their parents’ relationship. The stronger the emotional bond between god and mortal the stronger the half-blood.

Naruto Fic Idea

I have this idea for a time travel fic where Obito manages to do something that ends with Team Minato all returning to their bodies at some point before Kannabi bridge at the moment of their death. Of course, for Rin it would be the Sanbi incident, and I’m thinking for Minato it should be the Kyuubi attack, then Obito from the fourth shinobi war. So these three are coming from pretty bad moments in time and they find waking up in the past a second chance to fix things. Minato and Rin don’t know what’s going on, but they think Obito dies at the bridge and saving him is one of their major goals. Obito has a plan, he wants to change everything and go after things like a real fix-it, he gets Rin and Minato on his side easily, and then there’s Kakashi.

Kakashi died in his sleep, probably sitting in a chair on his deck watching the sunset, surrounded by his ninken and maybe with Tenzo or Gai sitting next to him. (I’m a kakayama and a kakagai shipper but it can be whoever you want or no one if you don’t want to have shipping involved.) Anyway, when Kakashi wakes up in the past he’s horrified. He has spent his entire life fighting for Konoha, first as a solider, then as Hokage and finally as an advisor, working towards real peace. And they succeeded. (I choose to ignore all Boruto related stuff, I kind of like combining this idea with my Daimyo Kakashi fic idea.) Whatever you imagine future Konoha being like, I like to think they brought the shinobi age to an end. They were moving past the time of mercenaries, fighting and war in favor of real progress. Details aside, Kakashi died feeling genuinely accomplished, having lived a long and full life, he was ready to pass on and he is not thrilled to find himself in the past.

When he finds out Obito is behind it, he is absolutely furious. He had mostly come to peace with what Obito had done, but he is now confronted once again with just how selfish and shortsighted he is. I imagine this fic mostly from the POV of Minato and Rin, maybe Kushina too. They are completely confused, they remember Obito as a happy and brave young man, and Kakashi as a cold and detached kid with stunted emotional growth. They have no idea what’s going on, they’re in favor of changing things and trying to fix it, Obito is trying to convince Kakashi that this is a good idea. All Kakashi really cares about is whether or not his future still exists somewhere and completely done with things otherwise. He doesn’t think it’s a future worth giving up just to appease his regrets. He’s also tired, Kakashi died from old age so he was, like >90, and he has no interest in repeating it all again.

I’m not really sure what to do from there, I just think it’d be an interesting set of dynamics.

My One Change to Star Trek (2009)

There are a good few flaws to this movie but if I were to make one change and leave it mostly alone, it would be the time skip after Kirk gets on the shuttle to Starfleet Academy, right after he meets Bones. Instead of jumping ahead to his final year as a cadet I would have it be more like 7 years, and introduce him as a new transfer to the Enterprise as a Lieutenant or Lieutenant Commander.

You can still have him get off on the wrong foot with Spock because of the Kobayashi Maru, but it can be because Spock doesn’t approve of him getting a commendation for what he considered to have been “cheating” and then they just rub each other the wrong way to start. The rest of the gang are all already posted as lower ranked members. I think you could have a fun scene of Kirk reuniting with Bones and Uhura (with very different reactions going on there).

You can still have Kirk overhearing Uhura about the communication because he’s with her roommate, it’s just that the room is a ship cabin instead of a dorm. Basically, instead of the Academy stuff you just have Kirk getting adjusted to the Enterprise. Maybe have Commander Una be injured or on leave or something so Spock is the Acting First Officer at the time.

Then the distress call from Vulcan comes in and the ship get assigned to check it out. Everything else from the time they’re out of warp could pretty much be the same but it would make more sense for Pike to name Kirk as Spock’s Acting First Officer when he goes over and for the gang to be taking over for their commanding officers when they’re injured during the attack from Nero. It just would make so much more sense for already instated officers to take on the roles they do then not even graduated cadets.

(I know this thing is, like, 15 years old now but I was rewatching Beyond and it made me think)

Naruto Fic Idea

There are a lot of time travel fix it fic, and even a few time travel nothing was wrong fic, and it occurs to me that both perspectives could happen depending on when in the Naruto timeline the person travels back from. So, Obito is dying at the end of the fourth shinobi war and pulls some crazy something or other and travels back in time along with everyone else from Team Minato at the point of their deaths. So Rin and Minato are obviously on board with this, Rin just committed suicide after the Sanbi sealing and Minato just turned his son into a junchuuriki, they both think Obito died at Kanabi and it takes a while for everyone to figure things out. So three out of four are thrilled with the chance to make things right, but then you have Kakashi. Kakashi has lived through all the wars to see all of the hidden villages find real genuine peace and see the end of the shinobi era. As far as he’s concerned despite his regrets and all the pain it took to get there, the word ended up as good as it was going to get big picture, he just died in his sleep, at peace with his incredibly long life, he was probably like 90 something which is an insane age for a shinobi to be, let alone dying of natural causes. Then he wakes up as a ten year old in the middle of war and he is absolutely pissed. Minato and Rin have no idea what’s going on because as far as they know Obito gave them a huge chance but Kakashi is so done with everything, he’s an old man, the word isn’t his responsibility anymore but now it is, and he’s the only one who knows how good it could be if a very particular set of events take place, the peace is strong and sturdy when he dies but it’s beginning is so so fragile, and now it’s all on him to make sure it happens. So, of course, he just wants to rip Obito a new one, the incredibly selfish bastard. No one has any concept of the type of peace Kakashi knows, for Minato and Rin, peace is just Konoha not in active war and Obito doesn’t really care about anything except screwing over Madara and Kaguya. It’s all on Kakashi to make sure they get to what he got to live, but he’s really fricken old and is just so tired.
