You are a main character of a movie, show, or book. You must live out every fan work that involves you – everything from portraits to fluffy one-shots to, yes, thirty-chapter smut books. Tell us about your experience in the fandom.
Headcanon A: realistic John is biracial. He is described in the books as having a lot of typically white features but that doesn’t mean he is white. If he hadn’t spent 30 years with no sunlight (i hope that boy’s getting his vit D supplements) he’d be brown-skinned for sure. This is the hill I will die on.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious I honestly don’t have very many funny headcanons for my tragic son… but I do love the idea of the Infinity’s Spartan-IV’s approaching Chief and trying to bond with him by inviting him the rec room with them. And they get him drunk. It’s not hard despite his size and muscle mass since he’s never had a drop of alcohol in his life, and he’s cuddly and keeps singing, then just to really rub it in gets no hangover at all the next day. But he’s so enthused about how much fun he had with his ~new friends~ that he keeps getting invited no matter how awkward it gets.
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends John’s never seen a baby that’s alive.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own. Both of John’s parents evacuated Eridanus II before it was glassed and are still alive circa 2558. They were listening to Benjamin Giraud’s broadcasts and though they never got the chance to send him a message to confirm it the way the facts match up is undeniable. They know the son they lost 40 years ago is the Master Chief and though they don’t know how to contact him they’ll hold out hope until they see him again.
@veta-lopis Bringing this back to draw attention to Headcanon B, because honestly this is the dream.
it’s time for more fred because i have gotten 3 asks for him specifically and I have MANY headcanons to share
Headcanon A: realistic
Fred hates most standard rations with a burning passion and has developed a skill for cooking to make up for this
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
He really likes old Jazz music. The thought of him working out with saxophones blaring in his earbuds is hilarious, though perhaps only to me
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
He’s always had trouble shutting his brain off at bedtime, but ever since Reach he dreads lights-out because there’s nothing to distract him from the “leader of the op with the highest Spartan casualty rate” line looping endlessly in his head
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own
He is going to retire on Onyx with Blue Team and Mendez and the Ferrets, where he will help Veta fight crime in order to not become unhinged by the freedom of civilian life
