Weird or Unusual headcanons

  • Eliza has a secret fear of being attacked by vampires and having her home invaded by them.
  • Valentine watches Annie: Girl of the Stars for inspiration of her attacks. Because Weaboo.
  • Filia's Nightmares of Fukua are actually visions of the future; Aeon will send Fukua as an assistant to Double after Valentine betrayed her.
  • There is a rival company to the Medici Mafia known as the Mike Zaibatsu
 
  • Big Band used to be a family man before being sent to the iron lung. His family was killed by his squad.
  • Cerebella got her diamond tatoo on her cheek as a sign of Vitale's appreciation. (It's actually a cheap, permanent tatoo paper Vitale found in a dollar store.)
  • Peacock's hat is actually very hard to lift and takes a ton of manpower for someone other than Peacock to hold it up (Because the Avery Unit is supporting the hat.)

Silly headcanon: Marie has body issues. That's why she's so stunned when Cerebella says she's lookin' good!

I mean, she is skin and bones, after all. And she wants to purge the world...
 
Beowulf before his wrestling career was well-kempt and clean-shaven man CALLING IT NOW
Immediately thought of a sketch I did of Beowulf growing up:

I only come up with good headcanons.
My silly head canon:

Scythana's escape plan plays out exactly like the end of "The Story of Ricky" (also known as Spooky's outro) in which she'll punch down a whole wall and announce "YOU ARE ALL FREE NOW."
 
Marie's wish was for a working deadringer from TF2.
That would explain how she is seen after Eliza kills her
 
I've had this one for a while:
Cerebella used to have a very toned, muscular acrobatic body, but got implants at Vitale's advice so that she would look "prettier" and "More pleasing."
Wow, that's kinda icky. :^(

Fun fact, I actually run the blog this came from.
Blog link please?
 
  • Samson originally wanted to use Filia as a puppet for his own goals, but chose not to because Filia reminded him of Delilah.
  • Alternatively, Delilah's is Filia's ancestor. (Isn't it canon that Filia still has the hairpin swords? And that Delilah is shown wielding them?)
  • The SkullgirlS beta is its own canon timeline.
  • Actually, all of Skullgirls' development stages have their own canon timelines. Aeon owns copies of every version of the game.
  • The concept art's Four Headed God is the Skullgirl's "super mode".
  • Alternatively, Leviathan, Sekhmet, Samson and other Theons used to be part of him.
  • The canon story mode involves Beowulf suplexing Eliza so hard she gives up on world domination until Skullgirls 2.
  • Within the game, each story mode is actually a movie. Everyone is actually an actor. VS mode and arcade mode are just one-shot short movies.
  • The Zone flash is canon
  • Double and Gehenna are made out of the flesh the Skullgirl has stripped away from her minions.
  • Lab 8 has an extensive collection of cartoon tapes to keep Peacock busy.
  • Unfortunately, they forgot to remove super hero cartoons. As such, Peacock sometimes like to sneak out of the lab and pretend she's a super hero.
  • Vice-Versa's favorite activity is lifting.
  • Valley Girl Painwheel is canon. It's how Carol used to talk before being transformed by Lab 0.
  • Every Fukua palette is canon : Brain Drain did so much cloning he has several some back-up Fukuas sleeping in jars?
  • Salty Parasoul is canon. Whenever she plays a game, even with Umbrella, she needs to win. She just needs to.
  • Parasoul and Valentine used to be very good friends.
  • Parasoul calls Valentine a traitor ever since she refused to have a sleepover where they'd watch "Annie of the Stars" all night.
  • Krieg, unlike other Living Weapons, is rather apathetic. He just wants to be left alone, but Parasoul needs him. So he cries.
  • Hungern, in contrast to Krieg, is lively : Easily excited by food, nice smells, or an upcoming fight. He likes to be pet.
  • Adam is trying to teach Umbrella how to cook, but she won't listen. And Hungern eats the ingredients raw anyway.
  • The Black Tree is canon, but when King Franz tried to harness his power, Todd caused it to wilt. And Hungern ate what was left of it, since Umbrella forgot to feed him.
 
A few miscellaneous headcanons:
-Adam and Umbrella are close, but Adam hates being stuck with her versus doing what he signed up for, and Umbrella hates having a "stupid bodyguard" be able to boss her around. So they usually are in a bad mood around each other.
-Beowulf's milk jug is NOWHERE near full. It's closer to two or three pints.
-Beowulf took interest in a "wolf-persona" during the brief time he was a traditional infantryman in the Canopian Army, when he noticed how ferociously wolves would fight over foods or territory.
-Talesin isn't aggressively misogynist. You wouldn't notice without being around him for awhile.
-Valentine's chocolate doesn't melt because of her stone-cold heart.
-Painwheel's mask has some sort of resin on it for loose reattachment, because there is no way to re-stitch and attach a mask perfectly in the middle of a fight.
-Adam being a "jack-of-all trades" quality isn't just in reference to his skill with weapons. Before becoming an Egret, he tried his hand at woodworking, playwriting, hunting, ranching, and even a bit of art. He decided he liked firearms best, and pushed himself to become a Black Egret. He excelled; and his reward is being stuck babysitting.
-Panzerfaust has an INCREDIBLE Tom-Seleck-satche underneath his helmet.

  • Peacock is home-schooled, or should I say Lab-schooled.
  • She hates it, tho, and made her last Lab-hired teachers dismiss. The scientists try and give her lessons when she's in a good mood.
  • Stanley is the one she respects the most, because he's a shark with laser guns! How cool is that?!
  • Stanley tries to give Peacock lessons by either putting on educational cartoons, or attracting her attention to a reference and building from there.
  • Peacock's favorite lesson is Geography. She knows all the countries because that one song in that cartoon was really catchy.
  • (what I'm trying to say is that Peacock singing Yakko's World is canon)
  • Stanley isn't exactly sure how to give Peacock biology lessons. It's kinda awkward.
  • Ms. Victoria is a Beowulf fan.
  • Ms. Victoria is often said to be strict, but all what she wants to do is help her students. Even if it means dragging them to school by herself.
  • Ms. Victoria hosts Filia and Samson during weekdays. It allows her to make sure Filia does her homework and prevent Samson from getting her drunk.
  • Samson brushes his teeth with a chainsaw and flosses with barbed wire.
  • Samson usually cares little for dental hygiene, but he's trying to keep an eye on it to avoid having to deal with the dentist. It's too awkward.
  • Samson ships Filia X Carol.
  • Umbrella regularly trims Hungern's eyelashes and brushes his teeth.
  • She actually cares more about Hungern's dental hygiene than her own's, much to Adam's and Parasoul's despair.
  • Adam doesn't exactly like being stuck as Umbrella's "baby-sitter", but sticks with it because it pays well, he gets to learn about what Parasoul likes and he secretly hopes Parasoul will see how responsible and husband-like he can be.
  • Adam and Umbrella actually like each other, it just doesn't show because Umbrella spends most of the day wanting stuff and Adam denies it, which causes Umbrella to throw fits.
  • Parasoul always tries to do the right thing, and often ends up asking Adam to know what the people of the Canopy Kingdom want to change.
  • Parasoul tried to cosplay as Annie once. Seeing Umbrella's reaction (Flat "what", then loud laughter) she didn't even bother showing Adam.
  • Even though Parasoul's shopping habits are supposed to be secret, for some reason, the Canopolis toy shop she buys Annie merchandise from is one of the most popular in the Kingdom. She tries to change regularly, but whichever shop she buys from suddenly gets a huge spike in popularity.
  • Along with acting out the Skull Heart's will, Double's other job is to buy merchandise for Aeon.
  • Big Band's snoring sounds like dubstep.
 
Aeon constantly shitposts in /v/
 
Cerebella likes death metal.

Annie's crossover into Indivisible is canon, and the two universes will collide to make one fucking EPIC plot-twist/finisher.
 
Big band hates Jazz. He was made to be a musical cyborg by a scientist who loves jazz but he himself hates it.

Everyday is hell for Big Band.

Skullgirls canon is weird. Multiple timelines, some of which converge, others don't. Indivisible also takes place in a multiverse, so Indiv-Annie might or might not be canon-Skullgirls Annie. Or both of those could be different from Annie-Story Mode Annie, who in turn isn't who we saw in Beowulf or Robo-Fortune's story modes.

So, um, basically, yes, I guess?

  • The artificial skullgirl blood Brain Drain has is a heavily modified sample of either Nancy's (during the process of turning into) or Selene's skullgirl blood.
Wait, does Brain Drain actually have Skullgirl blood in him....?

Welp, I just acquired a new weird headcanon!

"I'm different. I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger Skullgirl blood, man. Dying's for fools, dying's for amateurs."

(I know this is from an older comment, but I literally just found this thread and had to comment on this....)
 
The Trinity are literally freaky space ghosts who have been stuck in a void-like dimension since they were murdered. Their current clothing is just some of the clothes that have popped up in said dimension.
 
Leviathan is actually Squigly's pet.

If they're just people, how did they create the Skullheart, an obviously purely supernatural object?
 
The reason why Umbrella was going after the Skullheart was not actually because it was her mother, but she is secretly planning to switch bodies with Parasoul so that people would stop making fun of her shortness.

And she felt no guilt when Parasoul got whacked with the "you will be the next Skullgirl" curse. She's just upset that she's still short. That is why she asks for cereal in the ending, because she is too miserable for her ice cream.

Well they were people,but ever since the whole "murdered by Eliza" thing,I guess transcending to another existence kind of ends up giving people supernatural powers if you're there for a while. Or that's how I like to think of it. Or maybe it's because of the parasites the Trinity has. Could be either.
 
the whole "murdered by Eliza" thing
That brings up an interesting question: What happens when you eat the local controllers of space and time? Do you get any sort of power buff out of it? Indigestion? Does Eliza have to worry about getting enough fiber in her diet?

Unrelated, I like to imagine that whenever Double tries reminding Valentine of the horrible things she's done and the futility of human resistance, she pulls a Wonka and shouts "Mumbler!" At least that's how I respond whenever I hear Double's intros...
 
- Vice Versa has a faux form of "Superstrength". It's actually "tactile telekinesis"... as in, it has telekinetic control over whatever it touches. Not only this, but it also has a telekinetic shield that envelops both it and its user, so that the two act like one body. This is why Cerebella is so durable, and why her neck hasn't snapped from carrying two elephants or from performing other such stunts. But Vice Versa is a "telekinetic amplifier". It only works properly with the strong-minded (though users do not need to have telekinesis in order to operate Vice Versa).
- Double is composed entirely of hyper-unstable stem cells.
- The health meter for Painwheel, Ms. Fortune, and possibly Double only represents their stamina. They regenerate at an alarming rate, but this takes from their energy. Hit them enough times, and they'll grow so tired that they can barely stand or keep themselves together, simply from all the regenerating they're doing. That will be their knock-out.
- Parasoul's salty side exists. It hides beneath an onion-skin-thin veneer of rationality, which she is desperately trying to hold together.
- Yu-Wan had adopted Nadia from the streets when she was just 4 years old. She stopped by frequently, begging for scraps.
- Yu-Wan had adopted Minette as an egg he found dropped at his doorstep, a few months after adopting Ms. Fortune. She grew alongside Ms. Fortune like a sister. This is why the two of them are so close.
- Yu-Wan instilled a hard-working spirit in both Minette and Nadia.
- Nadia's original hair color was dark brown. She commonly dyed it orange, before the Incident.
- The Fishbone Gang were regular Dak'kuul Dubu customers, with whom Nadia became enthralled with. They eventually let her come along on some of their excursions. Nadia's outfit during that time was the outfit from the original concept art for Ms. Fortune.
- Nadia is... mentally unsound. Her pun-making came around as a coping mechanism for the extreme trauma she experienced during the Incident. One such result was adding on the name "Fortune" after the Incident.
- Nadia is a crime-fighter. She doesn't only beat up Medici goons in her spare time.
- Nadia couldn't speak for a day or two after the Incident, as her vocal cords hadn't healed yet.
- While Nadia occasionally stops off at Dak'kuul Dubu to say "hi", she has to stay away from the place, lest the Medicis track her connections and use them as leverage against her. This is why that one day Nadia actually visited Dak'kuul Dubu in broad daylight, when Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber (Lawrence and Riccardo) came around, and she stopped them from messing with Minette, Minette winds up getting captured that very night, along with many of her "half-sisters"... (I believe the River King had many different children with many different kinds of humans/Dagonians... how else could they look so different?)
- Nadia now commonly eats at Madman's Cafe. The food there is superb, but she still reiterates that Yu-Wan's food can't be beat.
- While Minette would always be happy to see Nadia whenever she came around, she secretly thinks and sincerely feels that Nadia had abandoned her. Minette doesn't realize that Nadia keeps away for both their own good.
- Of course Dagonians eat fish. They're not fish themselves... they only resemble fish. Ignorant humans are shocked by this.
- The River King, progenitor of the Dagonian race, is an immortal former human known as "Davy Jones". He somehow became part fish as part of his becoming immortal. His symbol is the Alabaster Shell, which is also an accessory that is carried by all of the children of the River King. So far, only Minette has been seen wearing one.
- When Nadia was six years old, she stated that she wanted to marry a "fishman" (Dagonian) when she grew up, so that she could rear little catfish babies.
- Minette owns a moped. Freaky fast delivery, anyone?
- Those scales on Minette's arms are sleeves to some pretty snazzy clothing she's wearing.
- Nadia is technically not dead. She still follows the four criteria of life:
  1. All life forms contain deoxyribonucleic acid, which is called DNA.
  2. All life forms have a method by which they extract energy from the surroundings and convert it into energy that sustains them.
  3. All life forms can sense changes in their surroundings and respond to those changes.
  4. All life forms reproduce.
- Squigly is technically not dead, but is undergoing severe necrosis. Her brain, most of her muscles, and a few of her major organs still function properly, thanks to the actions of the Lichwurm Theon, Leviathan. The sudden surge of Theonite from the Skullgirl was enough to wake them both from their slumber, but as Squigly wasn't dead to begin with, she didn't become a Skullgirl puppet.
- Marie doesn't control the dead, per se. She only manipulates dead matter... bones, not flesh. In this sense, they pretty much become her puppets, and that's all that's really necessary.
- Eliza's brain is fully intact, and resides inside Sekhmet's skull.
- Sekhmet automatically thrusts away any infected blood. It's thrust away from her in a fashion similar to magnetic repellence. Hmm...
- The Skull Heart is not a supernatural object, as some would claim, even if it "grants" wishes and has a mind of its own. However, it does seem to be a great source of Theonite, concentrated into one little object. As Theonite is a strange substance of unknown potential, with very little research conducted for it, many would think that it truly is supernatural. I'm thinking of that "wish-granting demon" from the Devil May Cry anime, who denied wishes with excuses, until they wished for something which could be interpreted as a death wish. Also refer to Peacock's unused alternate ending. Basically, the Skull Heart can only accept wishes that can granted based on Theonite's properties (i.e. mind control, ultimate power, immortality, etc.), which the wisher herself can enact as the Skullgirl, as she then becomes a source of Theonite, from bonding with the Skull Heart. That "pure heart" clause is a load of baloney. Everyone loses. It's just like selling your soul to the Devil.
- Theonite's power, although great and versatile, is limited.
- The Skullgirl's flesh rapidly deteriorates due to overexposure to Theonite.

How's that for headcanon?

Get outta here science man
I say that if stuff like this can be linked to things that are actually plausible, it'll be more enjoyable. Plus, it allows people to really think about what's going on and take another look at it from a different angle.

I find that a lot of people don't seem to give too many reasons explaining why they think the things they think. So many people pretty much answer along the lines of "Just because..." or "Don't think about it too hard." For me, it's not enough to just say that and be done, especially when things don't make sense.

Ya feel me bro? ;)

I actually like this one. It explains a lot.
Thanks! It means a lot!

Considering this thread is called Weird or Unusual Headcanons, it sounds like you came to the wrong neighborhood, motherfucker.
