Headcannons About Yourself

Tuesday, September 12, 2023 - 12:57 AM

It feels weird to have a headcannon about yourself? But I have a headcannon about myself? Headcannon feels like a wrong way to phrase it, but also I don't have a better way to put it.

So, some Mobians are born with powers (I usually go with 20% of Mobians and about 10% of humans, though there could be sampling bias (and also these percentages are pulled directly out of my anus)). And naturally there's a need to make sure all these super powered kids are able to not hurt themselves or anyone else with these powers, so powered kits go to a special preschool to help them with those particular struggles.

And then...the things that happen in It Doesn't Matter happen. (Oh yeah! I put the scripts so far up on my AO3 last week, so you can actually see some of what I'm talking about instead of there being just a void where context should be!) And suddenly people end up transforming into Mobians, and developing powers, and the perception filter will do some of the heavy lifting, buuut, it won't do all of it. So there ends up being a hole in support where powered kids are being born and there aren't any structures in place that can help them get their powers under them.

And I think that if shit could CALM THE FUCK DOWN FOR FIVE FUCKIN' SECONDS I'd be super down and like, actually pretty good at helping kits out with that. Sonic's Xavier School, bet better.

Yeah, shit gets weird because this is my parallel life and...it's just so much to just talk about.

Anyway, over here I've been teaching mostly kids but also some adults and doing pretty damn rad at it, so I'm starting to think this "headcannon" holds more water than I originally thought when it first occurred to me.
