The Fact that Percy Jackson was named after Perseus and not after Percy Byshe Shelley, legendary romantic era poet who died by drowning after he decided it would be a good idea to go sailing in a storm. will forever be a personal insult to me

differences from canon, own headcanons & other notes: a master list. *below is a list of characters with either big or small deviations from canon, as well as some general guidelines for interacting and some headcanons. if anyone isn’t included on this list then they hold no canon divergence whatsoever or special notes whatsoever. i may add to this as i go along / rewatch things.
SUPERNATURAL.
john winchester. *pre-seasons, season one, season fourteen ft. john winchester’s journal.
john will recognise the following original character as his daughter, @spitfcre. any questions about that then just let me know / ask me about it.
whatever brings back john in season fourteen brings him back permanently, i’ll be referring to this as ‘resurrection verse’ or ‘season fourteen verse’.
in this verse john will be adjusting to his new life, living in the bunker with mary and the boys, reconnecting with his wife and his children.
when john comes back the boys explain about his daughter so john has all the information he needs before actually meeting her. when they do meet, john and sawyer stay up all night talking and getting to know one another, making up for lost time.
as detailed in john winchester’s journal (tie-in supernatural book written by alexander c. irvine) john slept with ms. lyle, one of sam’s teachers who turned out to be a kind of demon. as he explains in the entry he was lonely but still grieving mary, the thought makes him feel sick. when he found out they were a monster who meant to target his children, john killed her and skipped town with the boys.
john still feels guilty over the circumstances of bill harvelle’s death. bill was possessed by a spirit and john was forced to kill him. it was john who broke the news to ellen and was subsequently barred from the roadhouse for life. he never went back there or saw ellen, jo or ash again. 
john was a member of a small hunting group made up of himself, bill harvelle, keith odell, jack sutton & jim cassidy. john was closest with bill, keith and jack. john clashed with jimmy which eventually led to the group splitting up when jimmy blamed bill’s death on john and the two fought. jimmy later becomes a demon who targets john’s children and john kills jimmy himself protecting his daughter.
additional note: i will not engage with any hate towards john. if your muse doesn’t like him that’s fine and dandy, but i won’t tale critique of his character outside of threads. john isn’t a perfect guy but he’s not the bad guy by any stretch. he never once hit his kids or abused them. john was grieving his wife and trying to raise his two boys in a world where they were marked for death so he taught them how to protect themselves and he wanted revenge on the monster that murdered his wife and the mother of his children. he made mistakes, he put too much on dean and he was hard on sam because he was terrified he wouldn’t be safe - and he knows this.
sam winchester. *pre-seasons, seasons one to fourteen.
sam didn’t kill emma, he changed his mind at the last minute when dean begged emma to run and sam to let her go. sam stepped aside and let emma pass him. neither sam nor dean have seen emma since and sam feels guilty that he almost killed her in the first place, even if he thought he was saving his brother. if he ever met emma again he’d try his upmost to make it up to her about it.
sam still has his psychic abilities he just doesn’t use them. sam holds a lot of guilt over the whole thing, so it’s not something he talks about very often and never with someone he doesn’t trust. he’d have to drink demon blood to get himself as strong with it as he was before with ruby, but because of what happened he won’t even touch the stuff and has no desire to go near any of that ever again. he’s very uncomfortable about the whole thing, but it’s something that plays on his mind often. 
dean winchester. * pre-seasons, seasons one to fourteen. 
dean is closeted bisexual. i know it’s never been confirmed so this is just kind of my observation / headcanon from watching the show for years. dean has an attraction towards men but he’s in denial about it so he leans on hyper-masculine behaviour to try and push the focus away from any questioning about his sexuality, but that doesn’t make him any less bi. he’s just scared to come out.
dean was a demon for a lot longer than was portrayed on the show and as a general note / heads up, i would love to explore this period in his life more. dean didn’t go off with crowley straight away, he declined the ‘howl at the moon’ offer and instead stayed with sam in the bunker while they tried to find a way to fix it. crowley kept dropping in on dean and slowly wore him down as dean was struggling to cope and eventually leant in to his ‘darkside’. the rest follows as normal of dean ‘liking the disease’ and sam eventually tracking him down and curing him. 
as above, sam didn’t kill emma and dean  gave her the chance to run. he hasn’t seen emma since but he thinks about her all the time. what she’s doing, if she’s okay and though he won’t admit it or say it out loud, he wonders if he’s missed out on having another shot at having a family, the same that he missed out on with lisa and ben.
additional note: dean is not abusive towards sam. i know this is a thing among fanon but i don’t agree with it. dean is not perfect, he has his issues but he lives for his brother and that’s the tea.
mary winchester. *pre-seasons, season one, seasons twelve to fourteen.
mary will recognise the following original character as his daughter, @spitfcre. any questions about that then just let me know / ask me about it.
mary did not sleep with ketch. don’t even @ me about that. when she’s resurrected in season twelve she’s dealing with her new life, grieving for john and the children she knew back in her old life. she’s not hopping into bed with sociopaths.
mary does she leaves the boys to work with the men of letters while she’s working out where she fits in the world. it’s not something she does lightly and afterwards is something she deeply regrets and works towards fixing, re-connecting with her sons and getting to know her daughter. 
mary has a bit of a shakey start with her daughter, sawyer as referenced above. she meets sawyer when she’s been back in the world for a few months and has already started working for the men of letters. as she’s still grieving for the sons she knew back then, taking sawyer into the mix is a bit much for her, but she’s polite and welcoming. the pair start to butt heads when mary tries to involve sam and dean in the british men of letters (bmols) and sawyer refuses to the point of it being dangerous. when the bmols try to kill sawyer, she cuts ties from mary, sam and dean for letting it happen. when mary comes back from apocalypse world and sawyer reconnects with her brothers, she and mary make efforts to reconnect with one another.
additional note: similarly with john i don’t accept mary hate here. she did bad folks and that’s not something she denies but i won’t play down her adjustment from dying a traumatic death, lingering as a spirit and then being ripped back to life to find her baby boys grown and her husband gone. but i’m not justifying anything either.
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.
elena gilbert. *seasons one, two & thee. canon divergent after season three.
generally speaking i just don’t like the direction the show went after season five and season four is a fairly weak season so i just disregard it all together for all of my vampire diaries based muses and verses.
elena becomes a vampire at the end of season three. personally i would have written elena’s whole journey as a vampire and her transition differently, so that’s what i’ll be doing here. i haven’t figured out what yet and may take smol pieces of canon but won’t follow canon after season three as a whole. 
elena has an anxiety disorder that hasn’t been diagnosed. i’ll expand on this more another time but for now keep this in mind. 
damon salvatore. * seasons one, two & three. canon divergent after season three.
this might be a touchy subject, but here goes .. please note that the following refers to my interpretation of damon and not the show itself or the choices made. cool ? cool. damon did sleep with caroline and compelled her. he didn’t compel her into sleeping with him in the first instance but he did compel her into helping him with various things and keep his vampire-hood a secret to further his own agenda with bringing katherine back, opening the tomb, etc. as damon becomes less of an antagonist and works to be a better person, he goes out of his way to help, assist and generally support caroline not because he expects any kind of forgiveness for her but he knows he owes her for what he did.
damon was physically abused by his father as a child and was generally detested by the man. damon never once fought back against his father even when he knew what his father was dong was wrong, damon grew up in a completely different time and so took whatever kind of abuse his father threw at him, including his father’s constant disappointment in him.
THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE.
tony stark / iron man. *pe-iron man, iron man, iron man 2, avengers: assemble, iron man three, age of ultron, captain america: civil war, post-captain america: civil war, avengers: infinity war, avengers: endgame & post-avengers: endgame au.
the zuccini line from age of ultron didn’t happen. that is all.
i’m pretty much down with everything else from tony’s mcu arc but i’m due a rewatch soon so if anything comes up then i will update things here. 
i have a verse for tony if he survived endgame. tony still does the snap but they manage to get him to a someone who can heal him, with his armour and arc reactor helping to keep him alive until they can help. it takes several months for him to wake up and just as long to heal after that where he’s basically bed ridden. eventually tony gets back on his feet again but his side that used the gauntlet is fucked. this includes him arm, his leg and his mobility is extremely damaged on that side. when he gets better tony works to make something for himself to be able to walk and use his arm without assistance. he gets his second chance with pepper and morgan but hangs up the iron man suit for good. 
natasha romanoff / black widow. *pre-iron man 2, iron man 2, avengers: assemble, captain america: the winter soldier, post-captain america: the winter soldier, avengers: age of ultron, avengers: infinity war, avengers: endgame.
i want the black widow movie to work but i’m nervous for it so we’ll just see where that falls when it comes around in 2020. cross your fingers guys.
i don’t include hulkwidow or bruce/natasha as a thing. it just never happened. 
about the scarjo thing .. i’m gonna keep using her face. i know not everyone will like that and i completely get it, (i’m LBGT+ myself so i get her comments are very damaging, not just for the LGBT+ community but others and honestly i’m just holding my face in my hands every time she opens her mouth) but i can’t see anyone else as nat for me. so if anyone doesn’t wanna write with me or my nat because of her comments then i totally get it. you’re totally in your rights to keep our distance and lbr you don’t need me to tell you that either. stay safe folks. 
i’m slowly working through some black widow comics so i’ll be integrating some things from there and my own additional headcanon. i have a complete bio for nat here which is a mix of mcu, comics and my own headcanon. any questions about it just ask.
i’m okay with endgame. i think it was a fitting ending for her character, she got the red out of her ledger etc. my only really irk about it is not seeing her funeral. i do have a verse for endgame where she doesn’t die if folks want to roll with that.
clint barton / hawkeye / ronin. *pre-avengers: assemble, avengers: assemble, post: avengers: assemble, avengers: age of ultron, captain america: civil war, post-captain america: civil war, avengers: endgame / ronin era & post-avengers: endgame.
i’ll be holding off a bit with some things with clint until the hakweye tv series happens. until then i’ll be drawing from the mcu, comics and my own general headcanons.
i don’t know if clint having a family is still a thing people discuss but i’m down with it bc i love a grounded family man, m’kay?
clint feels a lot of guilt for what he did as ronin which is why he was so willing to sacrifice himself to get the stone instead of natasha. i will have a verse for ronin!clint and am very excited for it.
after endgame clint obviously goes back to his family but is wracked with guilt about letting natasha go and wishes it had been him, even though he’s glad to get his family back. he has nightmares about being on vormir.
peter parker / spiderman. *pre-captain america: civil war, spiderman: homecoming, post-spiderman: homecoming & spiderman: far from home. 
i liked far from home but i preferred homecoming. that’s all i’m gonna say about that.
i’m fine with peter having his identity revealed and being framed for mysterio’s death and am happy to explore it in threads. 
i know there’s a good argument for peter being trans and guys i’m all for it. i’m unsure if i will write it that way but only bc i’m not trans myself and i’d want to educate myself, do it right and do it justice. so leave that one with me for now. 
pepper potts / rescue. *pre-iron man, iron man, iron man 2, avengers: assemble, iron man three, post-iron man three, avengers: infinity war, avengers: endgame, post-avengers endgame.
first off seeing pepper as rescue in endgame ?? i nearly leapt out of my fucking seat. second i will definitely be having verses where pepper uses the suit both before and after endgame where it makes sense for her to do that. 
her post-endgame verse will also deal with pepper grieving tony and trying to raise morgan and help her through it with the help of happy, rhodey and peter. though this can obviously extend to any of the avengers or similar characters. 
loki laufeyson / god of mischief. *pre-thor, thor, avengers: assemble, thor: the dark world, post-thor: the dark world, thor: ragnarok,  avengers: infinity war, avengers: endgame, loki: the tv series. 
i’ll be holding off a little on the loki tv verse until it happens but i’m open to experimenting with it as well.
i go with the headcanon that the sceptre had some effect on loki. that isn’t me giving him an out or saying he didn’t know what he was doing, bc he did. but the sceptre did effect his health and his mood from exposure to it. just like it did when the avengers were having that big ol’ argument. plus thanos hanging over his head was a factor too. i’ll write more about this when i rewatch things.
loki was taught magic by his mother, despite this loki was still taught how to fight, use knives etc. he’s not as physically strong as thor but he knows how to handle himself in a fight. he just prefers to use his intellect and his magic before getting into a punch up.
yes, loki has issues with odin up until his death and why that is should be obvious. that being said frigga was complicit in loki’s being raised which is why loki is a little hostile with her in the dark world bc he’d been lied to all his life and his mother had helped. 
loki doesn’t show his frost giant form nor use his abilities from that. it’s something he’s uncomfortable with so he acts like it isn’t there.
additional note: i’m really not a fan of doctor strange. this includes the film and the casting for the film. i know this is a weird one to put out there but i just wanted to put it out there that i am anti-doctor strange and generally like to disregard his involvement bc the movie was boring and the casting for stephen as abysmal. i’m very happy to write with comic versions of the character or anyone who writes him without benedict flustercluck’s face.
MARVEL TELEVISION UNIVERSE.
matt murdock / daredevil. *season one, season two, the defenders, season three & post-season three.
i see stick as being very emotionally abusive towards matt. generally just in his behaviour, treating him like a child one minute but then using him as a warrior the next. matt murdock is not a damn object you ass-wipe of a person. just a thing to take into account as matt is very sensitive to stick’s presence and no i do not accept stick as a father figure. matt loved his dad jack and no one is replacing him. 
more a generally thing about the defenders .. it wasn’t perfect. i liked it but they dropped the ball with the ending. i don’t write elektra but my general headcanon is that when she kills alexandra it sets the rest of the hand after them and they have to hide out before bringing them down. matt and elektra then get separated in the building collapse. 
additional note: in defense of matt murdock .. the guy has been through some shit and he just gets more thrown at him every damn day and that shit is exhausting. i’m not saying his behaviour is right or not detremental to his friends, i’m just saying i get it but matt knows he should have been better and will work to make things better after season three.
karen page. *season one, season two & season three of daredevil, the defenders and season one, season two & post-season two of the punisher.
i love karen page with all my heart and wouldn��t change a thing !! <33
franklin ‘foggy’ nelson. *season one, season two, the defenders, season three & post-season three of daredevil.
i need to re-watch season bc i never actually finished it bc i was so pissed off about the cancellation. but when i get there i’ll add things here !!
frank castle / the punisher. *season one, season two & post-season two.
i’m just about as bitter about the punisher ending as with daredevil and jessica jones. so jot that down. if i ever meet anyone who works @ netflix or if i meet kevin fiege, we’re gonna have a conversation.
i’m pretty much cool with everything that happened in season one and two, i just fucking wish we were getting a season three. so i guess my verse for that will be frank being full tilt punisher as a general thing but i’m happy to explore things from there.
oh and for any kastle fans out there i’ll have a verse for if they ran away together bc cute.
i get billy’s arc in season two but i’m not “poor misunderstood baby” about it either. i can recognise and appreciate the trauma and frank has some hand in that, but billy killed frank’s entire family and that’s not something he or i will be forgetting here.
david lieberman / micro. *season one & post-season one. 
i can agree with not having mirco in season two - even though i missed him - bc david got his normal life back and that’s all he wanted, his arc was completed, etc, etc, etc, but i’m also the devil and want to see what would happen if he got dragged back into things with frank. so that’ll be a verse bc david trying to have a normal life but help his friend is a thing i need / wanna see.
OTHER / ADDITIONAL. 
tracy mcconnell.
i completely disregard the finale as canon and not even because of tracy dying but just because the whole thing was a shit show. so i’ll write tracy before she meets the gang, when she meets the gang and everything after, marrying ted, etc.
i’ll also have a verse for tracy if she never met ted and another for if max never died.
bliss cavendar. 
bliss is gay / lesbian. i’m happy with sticking with the events of the film where she dates and sleeps with oliver. but guys, bliss is gay. that’s just it. post-events of the film she meets a nice girl and comes out to her friends, family and roller derby team mates.
luke skywalker. 
unpopular opinion time, but i’m fine with a disenchanted luke and the fact that he dies at the end of the last jedi. i also have a verse for if he lived and when the rise of skywalker comes out i’m sure i’ll have a verse for that too.
general headcanon that before luke settled down and made the jedi school on the island that he had some time just travelling and helping people bc that just seems like luke to me. 
i see luke as asexual / aromantic.
