    All your sad, scary, angsty, etc ideas can go here. The fluffy headcanons thread is great but sometimes we need the darkness too.

    Ganth masturbated to his kids multiple times because they looked like their mother. He was very upset by all this. Just a ball of self-hate and guilt. But also hatred of his children. He'd cry and say over and over that he wasn't like his brother Greshan. He never raped the kids themselves and he never bloodbound them. But they still got him randy and he still chased out his daughter for it and still beat his son regularly for it.

    One I sent to sadstuck-and-headcanons ages ago which I'm still proud of. Killing the Summoner would just have created another martyr; the Condesce had the Highblood use the voodoos to destroy Summoner's powers and then had his wings cut off, and left him on-planet for the rest of his life with animals he couldn't control and children who hated him for failing them.

    Fwirl was indeed Madd's lost daughter. Fwirl would have hated what her mother became and Madd was so far gone she probably wouldn't have recovered/repented even if she knew Fwirl was alive; it may be for the best they didn't meet again.

    My user title is what it is for a reason, and I could provide awful RH headcanons all goddamn day. Heaping trauma on the main character is one of my favorite pasttimes. A lot of it is spoilers, though.

    The reason why Toriel was so harsh on the Froggits and Whimsuns in the Ruins and had locked off the Ruins from the rest of the underground was because of a past betrayal. One of the human children had actually chosen to remain with her, only for a group of Froggits and Whimsuns to steal the child away and bring them to Asgore themselves. Hence why there's a battalion of Final Froggits and Whimsalots in the final CORE before his fortress, of which the Final Froggits will become easier opponents the more they understand you and the Whimsalots will surrender when you start praying for your life as they find their conscience. Also, this is why you can find a plastic knife and a lost piece of armor (the ribbon) lost in the ruins, as they were either lost or tossed away in the kidnapping scuffle.

    It adds to Toriel's anger and hatred of Asgore. It's not enough that he was willing to kill any child who might have gotten into the underground, but he was also willing to hunt down the ones that tried to stay out of his way.

    The minimum age for volunteers in Alistel's army is 16, which was originally set with the assumption that the youngest volunteers would be aides, and everyone would spend a year or so in training and on jobs like road patrols where they wouldn't see pitched combat. That training/probation period has gradually gotten shorter over time as the war has dragged on.

    Pretty much everybody suspects Kiel lied about his age to join the army, which is part of why Rosch tries to keep a close eye on him in particular. They assume he's 15.

    They're wrong. He's 14.

    If you don't know why this is horrifying you probably haven't played the game.

    There is a not-strictly-illegal practice in the Mid-Childan bureaucracy that goes like this:

    The TSAB allows children under the age of adulthood to enter the forces if they have the permission of their legal guardians.
    Children who have some kind of special talent or ability and no parents or guardians often end up fostered by the TSAB until they can be adopted.
    Unscrupulous officers will, in some cases, adopt children with special abilities, then turn around and use their parental authority to enlist the kid in their unit.
    In fact, there are certain cases where investigative officers will pick kids to take in while working on their case. There's legislation in the works to cut down on this, but it's slow going, especially since one of the results of the Many Kings War is that everyone accepts kids are able to fight at a young age.

    Fate Testarossa had a lot of sleepless nights over this when Hayate was trying to get Caro and Erio into Section 6, by the way.

    When Stocke got mindwiped, Heiss, with genuinely good intentions, tried to make his childhood suck less by altering his memories to remove all of his dad's physical abuse and most of his emotional abuse. Heiss also had to remove a lot of what Stocke did in response to his dad for practical reasons, but had trouble messing with memories of emotions. The net effect of this was that Stocke has spent the last five years thinking of his teenage self as a whiny, self-righteous, spoiled hypocrite with a martyr complex and no sense of scale. This has a lot to do with how he first started down the road to "I'm a terrible person and my life is worth less than everyone else's."

    Kiku and Ludwig went into the Pact knowing perfectly well they were expected to eventually stab the other in the back to take the rest of the world, and knowing the other knew that and was planning the same. Feli knew more about it than they thought.

    It's generally accepted that Undertale skeletons are magical constructs rather than being undead, and that Sans is the older brother. I did not know this when I first encountered the game, and I still struggle to read Sans as anything but a kid/teen. Thus, I concluded that if they are undead, Sans died much younger than Papyrus, but is the older brother in that he was born earlier and has been undead for longer.

    To go with my silly FF4 headcanons from my playthrough, I decided that it was boring if the only reason everyone is so insistent Cecil stop being a Dark Knight is a combination of SYMBOLISM and "Golbez resists darkness damage," and Cecil's angsting about wanting to be ~rid of this dark sword~ is way more interesting if there are legitimate reasons he can't just buy a normal sword and get on with his life without needing to climb a magic mountain for a class change.

    So this is what I decided:

    The Dark Knight armor and sword is all a system to let the wearer tap directly into their life force to weaponize it. Portions of the armor are bonded directly to their body and can't be removed. Some parts can be swapped out, but there's an underlying layer that's stuck directly to the skin. It leeches off their life force to reinforce the armor, and the sword draws life force from the things it hits (which is why it's pretty much useless against undead- there's no life for it to feed on). While healing spells and potions can fix mundane damage to a Dark Knight, they can't undo the damage the armor causes to them, because the armor just sucks up the extra life force until they're back to baseline. You can't fight very effectively in Dark Knight armor with a normal sword, since the system is designed with the assumption of infusions of power from the things you kill. The Dark/Darkside ability converts life force into dark magical energy; use it enough and that energy starts slowly building up in your body and interfering with bodily processes, essentially turning you undead.

    Be a Dark Knight long enough and it'll eventually either kill you or turn you into an armored zombie that has to keep constantly killing to stay "alive."

    here I go talking about metal gear agian... this isn't a headcanon I always hold since it makes me very sad but anyway (cw mention of canon csa under the spoiler tag)

    Otacon is a closeted nonbinary person, and probably pretty dang feminine. The only person they've ever told for most of their life was their step mother, who they where very close to at the time. She... didn't take it well, and her abuse was an effort to "make them a real man". This, along with what happened after with his father when he found out, insured that they where to scared to come out in any form until near the end of Snake's life when they told him.

    Click the button on the post editor menu between the video button and the floppy disk. Or just type
    Code:

    and put it between the tags.

    SCP-682 is actually a baby whatever-the-hell-it-is. Remember MLP's Ursa Minor and Major?

    There's a Foundation Tale that makes it basically come across as a very lost and upset college student.

    Kankri underwent mandatory castration to prevent the passing on of his "defective" genes. Beforus is better than Alternia in the medical department in the matter of not killing everyone slightly unwell, but still doesn't go in as much as humans do for general anaesthetics.
