In Which I Do A Meme: Headcanon Meme
Yoinked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
erikalyndis! Post five headcanons for any fandom, and as many fandoms as you like. If you can't pick a fandom then ask people for a fandom you should write about. If you are given a fandom to write about you should give one in return.
Alrighty! I'm doing Sucker Punch, not because it's my favoritest fandom of all time, but because I have a buttload of headcanon for it. To make up for my lack of updates, if anyone wants to suggest a fandom I'm in, just post it in the comments section and I'll give five headcanons for it as well.
Please notes, there will be MASSIVE spoilers for the movie.
1.) The dancing sessions in the bordello fantasy were supposed to be analogous to the psychiatry sessions, and not meant to indicate that the girls were really being raped in the asylum. The movie shifts to the bordello fantasy (and Sweetpea doing her dance routine) after Babydoll watches one of the girls going through a therapy session. Also, Dr. Gorski is the one in charge of both the dance lessons and, in the bordello fantasy, speaks about the dancing itself as a sort of therapeutic technique. The orderlies get off on watching the girls act out the various traumatic situations they go through, which is why Babydoll equates the sessions with sleaziness and prostitution.
2.) All of the girls in the asylum had something screwy with them, except for Sweetpea. Babydoll obviously snapped after the deaths of her mother and sister, but Rocket also acts in ways that are a little off (thinking it would be a good idea to fight the cook, who could easily pin her, deciding to run away from home even though she later admits it wasn't a good idea, etc). Sweetpea, meanwhile, is shown to be the only one who doesn't buy completely into the fantasy world (for instance, she refuses to do the lobotomy "dance" and points out exactly why she thinks it sucks) and questions the logic of their actions. Her behavior towards the other girls also seemed to me to be like she was trying to handle people she knew couldn't be reasoned with normally. For instance, when she sees its impossible to convince them that Babydoll's plan is insane, she switches to the failsafe of saying the plan will be over when she says it's over. There's also Babydoll's line at the end of the movie, where she says that Sweetpea is the only one who could make it in the real world. Over the course of the movie, Babydoll realized that she and all the girls except for Sweetpea were too screwed-up to properly function outside of the asylum. Thus, she imagined that the other girls were killed, in order to justify not taking them into the real world.
On a related headcanon, Blue is just as insane as the girls. In his case, he suffers delusions of grandeur. He's completely convinced that he's the most powerful person in the asylum, but he isn't. His story about signing plenty of false lobotomy orders is also complete bunk. He made it up to impress Babydoll's stepfather and convince the guy to pay up for him to do it. Blue's act is only able to get through to most of the girls (or at the very least Babydoll), so they imagine that he is as high-up and powerful as he says he is, in the bordello fantasy.
3.) Rocket and Sweetpea were committed without their parents' knowledge. In the movie, Rocket tells about how she had problems with her parents (problems which Sweetpea didn't have) and thus thought it was a great idea to run away from home. Going off of the above headcanon that Rocket really does have some sort of issues and is unable to acknowledge it, she sees her parents' attempts to rein her in as them being unfair and controlling and thus comes to the conclusion that she should run away. While on the road with Sweetpea, she lashed out at someone and ended up getting committed, most likely after her parents couldn't be found. Sweetpea, of course, went with her.
4.) Sweetpea's escape at the end was to bring back her parents to save Rocket. Zac Snyder apparently confirmed that none of the girls who were "killed" in the bordello fantasy actually died. Thus, Rocket was not stabbed by the cook. Most likely the orderlies intervened and put her in solitary confinement for getting in a fight. Sweetpea realized that the best chance to get her sister home was to get back to their parents and tell them everything, so their parents could get their daughters back.
5.) Babydoll was not actually made braindead by the lobotomy. There have been cases of lobotomy patients who went on to have normal lives, and the lobotomist had no reason to try to hurt Babydoll (in fact, he really hoped the procedure was going to help her). The reason Babydoll was nonresponsive after the lobotomy was because she was in shock after everything that happened. Mentally, she'd retreated to her fantasy world. By the end of the movie though, Blue had been arrested and it was implied her stepfather would be arrested as well. Gorski knew what happened to her, and likely would do all she could to help her out. So Babydoll would have all the time she needed to recover. (Is that overly optimistic? Probably. But that's what I think, and I'm stick'n to it!)

- The "something good" Nabooru promised Link was to make him her new king. She tells him it's not something for a child, was planning on getting Ganondorf kicked out, and later tells Link "If I'd have known you would have been such a handsome man, I would have kept my promise".
- Zelda was a woman when she turned into Sheik. I know, I know, that's the debate to the end of time. I still believe that. I don't even know why (besides the fact that Sheik obviously has a female voice actor in the Kakariko Village scene). I just do.
- OOT Link is oblivious to love and thus did not/will not end up with any of his many female suitors.
- "Them" that go after Cremia's cows are Garo. The Ikana Canyon professor says that he heard of Garo being spotted at the ranch, but also there's the facts that (A) the Gormon Brothers own a mask that can summon Garos and (B) the aliens oh-so-conveniently show up every year to steal the cows that give better milk, leaving the Gormon Brothers' watered-down stuff as the only kind available. And they do it right before the Carnival, when Clock Town has a ton of tourists and no doubt would need to order a ton of the stuff.
- At the end of Majora's Mask, Link uses a combination of the Elegy of Emptiness and the transformation masks to bring the Deku Butler's son, Mikau, and Darunia back to life (the song recreates their bodies, and the masks give them back their souls). I read this theory on TV Tropes, and like it much better than the thought that Link goes on his quest and everyone is suddenly like "Where did my son/guitarist boyfriend/great leader GO? D:"

1.) With America, states that were once original countries had personifications when they were independent. When the country became a state, those personifications died off as the land no longer exists as a country. So Hawaii had a nation-tan for example, before America took the country as the 51st state. She was an island girl, much like Seychelles, who fought wildly against America. America, being the clueless dolt he is, tried to bring her back to the mainland to live with him. She wasn't there long before she died.
Texas had a very young nation-tan, a girl who was the little sister of Mexico. She and America took to each other quickly, with him identifying with her desire for independence. He even sent the New Orleans Greys to help her win her freedom. Sadly, they ended up having a falling out over the Civil War. When Texas was no longer able to support itself as a country, the personification began to die. Her last request was for America to look after everyone in her house, and she gave him her glasses to remember him by. That's why his glasses are supposed to personify Texas.
2.) There was not one "Mother Native America", because there never was one Native America. Each of the Native American tribes had their own personification, a number of whom are still around. One of them even married the personification of Roanoke (who fled her home when she feared England abandoned her to invaders) and they had a child, North Carolina, together.
3.) There was a personification for the Confederacy, because the Confederate states actually did form their own separate country. Because Nazi Germany was technically still the same country as regular Germany though, there was no other personification for it. Instead, Germany hallucinated that there was, because he couldn't deal with the stuff his boss was ordering him to do. It wasn't until the Allies caught him and forced him to see what he did that he finally accepted the truth and tried to make amends for his actions.
4.) In general, the nations treat each other better than their bosses or people treat one another. This is because they know each other on personal levels. A lot of their actions are dictated by their bosses or happen through deception.
5.) Pangea-tan and other pre-human nation-tans weren't human. Since they personified their people, they were actually prehistoric reptiles, birds, and other such things, all the way back to being single-celled organisms. Even though they all had the average intelligence for those lifeforms, they all somehow knew that they were different, and the other lifeforms treated them as such.
I actually probably have a lot more than that, but I can't think of it at the moment. XD If you ever check out my fanfictions though, I stuff it in there.

Oh, I already have actually. I've read A Wish For A Smile (even though I don't ship any of the pairings in it, which is an impressive feat considering I'm picky when it comes to what pairings the stories I read are "allowed" to have XD), America, All Is Well! and The Brothers, The Bear, and Winter and I'm following What Curiosity Brings and Suburban Knights: A Novelization.

XD Awesome! Funny you should mention the shippings, I honestly didn't intend for that to get in there. XD I'm terrible at writing romance, so I aim more for close friendships and the like. But hope you enjoy! :D
