Oct. 11th, 2021 02:38 pmI’ve been trawling my headcanons tag, and like… 99.9% of them are still dear to my soul.
[Later that day]
Eh, pulling them out of the tags:
- #1 at all times: Darcy is on the autistic spectrum (this is a pretty common headcanon, for kind of obvious reasons).
- Luke Skywalker uses the Skywalkers’ ancestral language with Anakin on the second Death Star; Anakin uses the language when he proclaims “I am your father,” but resolutely sticks to Basic on DSII until he’s reclaimed himself and is dying (I wrote a fic about it here).
- The Stewards’ origins as 1) a family of ultimately royal origin and 2) the descendants of a Faithful family in Númenor come together with the House of Húrin originally going back to a Faithful family established by Númenor’s first princess, Tindómiel.
- Vanozza dei Cattanei in The Borgias is Castilian, a courtesan out of Toledo originally named Juana de Castañeda.
- Darcy and Elizabeth have separate bedrooms along the lines of Congreve’s Millamant and Mirabell.
- The Elvish aesthetic of the First Age is primarily ancient Egyptian and ancient Greek (to go with Tolkien’s Egyptian-Byzantine-Roman influences with the Dúnedain).
- Kuvira from Legend of Korra chose to call herself ‘Kuvira’ after she was abandoned by her parents, guided by her quasi-foster mother Suyin Beifong.
