~John Rambo Headcanons~
[Pt.2]
A/N: Since there isn’t much fanfic out here, I’m gonna post something just cause... it’s fun!! Here are some random headcanons I thought of and what I personally think how John feels. So if anything seems inaccurate and contradictory to his character, *shrugs* can’t help ya there. Anyways enjoy, whoever reads it ☺~! 
Contains: Fluff, Mentions of ptsd breakdowns, all is SFW.

So where to begin? Let’s start with the fact John is very hands on with the domestic things in life; like helping around the house, cleaning top-to-bottom, fixing things and whatever it is that needs to be done.
It’s obvious he’s handy due to his experience in the military, so if something needs fixing, he’s there in two shakes of a lamb’s tail.
Sometimes at the crack of dawn, you wake up to his empty side of the bed, only to hear him hammering away on your roof. (Good thing, the nearest neighbor lives more than a block away.)
While John is considered to be quite the busy bee, every busy bee needs to cool down their motor sometime.
John has a handful of hobbies, I’m sure, and reading is one of them.
John may not look like the type to read, but he actually reads all the time. I honestly see him being a huge fan of old wild west novels.
And if he really liked a certain book in particular, he’d offer to let you borrow it (as it’s a personally owned book), or maybe even read it to you if you wanted him to. Keep in mind, you’re the only person he’d read to or let borrow things from him.
You’re also the only person he’d ever allow to play with his hair. Yes! He loves it when you play with his hair. He never admits it, but honestly, does he really have to?
The first time you played with his hair, he was rather surprised, jumpy even. Not on purpose nor was it his fault (or yours) you startled him.
The only time anyone had ever touched his hair, meant to purposefully harm him. (If you’ve seen the movies, you’ll know what I mean.)
At the very least, John questioned what was happening with his eyes.
Since you’re you, he almost immediately softened under your touch and my god, was it relaxing. Now, if you’re lounging somewhere like in the bedroom or on the sofa, he’d rest his head on your chest, letting your fingers comb through his hair as he read his books or watched TV.
I mentioned him loving to have his hair played with. Well, that’s especially the case when there’s another breakdown from his trauma of the war or when he wakes up in cold sweats from nightmares. Almost always, do you comb through his hair when you’re cradling him in your arms until he fully calms down. You being there is enough for John, but combing his hair is enough to put him back to much needed sleep.

Ok so back in the 70s/80s there was a Qanon-sized conspiracy that the Vietnamese hadn't given America back all its captured soldiers and was keeping some of them in jungle POW camps (just for fun I guess?) even after the Vietnam war officially ended. Though not an impossibility (see: that one Japanese soldier who only stopped fighting WWII in 1974) the general consensus at this point is that the foundation of this conspiracy theory was a coping mechanism for families who refused to accept the fact that their sons listed MIA were truly gone rather than any concrete evidence that the Viet Cong (literally just the Vietnamese government at this point in history) were secretly keeping GIs locked up in the 10-20 years after the war.
The reality is that when you send a generation of young men into a jungle-shaped meatgrinder, you're not going to recover or even confirm all of your dead. Even if those MIA soldiers survived the ambush/plane crash, they'd have essentially been dropped in the middle of a jungle with minimal survival equipment. Unfortunately, the very fact that these boys were drafted into a pointless war in the first place, combined with the treatment of the veterans that made it back, meant that public trust in the government was at an all time low--something that current events have proven to have bred the worst kind of conspiracy theories: the politically impactful ones.
Which is why even now the POW/MIA flag flies in front of many state and federal buildings, the equivalent of your governor unfurling a WWGOWGA banner in front of the statehouse. All this context is required to understand the events that formed Rambo: First Blood Part 2, the 1985 analog to a present day "Pizzagate: The Movie."
On a scale of one to "shred the local police station with a beltfed machine gun," Rambo in First Blood is not doing great at coping with Vietnam, but the movie delivers an elegant, tragic look at how society dealt with veterans of a war it never wanted. And so for the sequel, they brought in George Cosmatos, a director known for what Entertainment Weekly calls "Rock Em Sock Em" movies and whose son would go on to functionally kick off the Nic Cage Renaissance.
First Blood Part 2 lands on the "how well did you take losing the Vietnam war" scale somewhere between "denial through affirmation of nutjob conspiracies" and "going back and killing the russians because they're the REAL bad guys." Which is to say that it handles the transition from thoughtful first film to action icon second film a tad worse than Terminator 2, if only because Terminator 2 never involved plot points about rescuing Nam Vets who were secretly still being kept prisoner a decade after the war ended.
I can't hate on the film that much because you don't hire the corny 80s action director and expect him not to make a corny 80s action film, and the POW/MIA conspiracy functionally no longer matters outside of decorating the back of goateed boomers' Harley Davidson motorcycles. The action is corny and fun, and the pre-9/11 tinhat theories are more objects of curiosity than anything. Yet I would debate that this film doesn't carry on the reputation of the original the same way that Alien carries over to the more action oriented Aliens or Home Alone carries over to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
Rambo: First Blood ends with John Rambo--disturbed special forces veteran who's take apart an entire town and humiliated state police, local sheriffs, and the national guard-- sobbing like a baby, lamenting bitterly the deaths of every single friend he had in his unit and his fate in a society that has discarded him as politically inconvenient. It's powerful, watching this mountain of muscle shaped into a killing machine fully break down and weep into the arms of his former commanding officer.
In Rambo 2 he ends the film by kicking the bad guy from Karate Kid in the crotch and then shooting up a bunch of computers. The difference between the films is clear.

INTRO POST Y'ALL! COME N GET IT!
Name:
You can call me by many names, my most preferred are Daisy, Chacha, or midez.
Likes:
I like hello kitty, and action movies. I rarely watch anime but if you bring up the promised Neverland or black butler I can semi tall to you about it. I haven't watched those movies in ages.
I love reading, like a lot a lot. My current favorite book that I'm currently hyper fixated on is called, Prisoner Of War. Made me cry in the end. I do read other books like This dark endeavor and more, but like they don't hit the spot like prisoner of war.
Dislikes:
Pushy and cocky people. Like dude chill your not all that.
Pr0sh1pper$ I swear I will lose my cool with them and say a lot of hurtful things that will make someone see me differently. Like stay the hell away from me please.
THOSE artists. By that I mean artists who judge beginner artists. It's just really stupid because we all start somewhere, like teach someone instead of insult them, it truly does nothing but lower someones self esteem
Fandoms:
Transformers (prime, bay verse, knight verse, animated, earth's park, g1)
First blood: Rambo. (Any of his movies at all)
Terminator: judgement day
Rocky: (any movie)
Expendables: (any movie)
Tango n cash
Other media:
I like poetry and music. I do write my own stuff only I'm very private about it. Maybe I'll post a few every so often but other then that I'm reserved about it. I love philosophy, like in my own way. I like to talk about all that deep stuff.
Warnings:
If I ever talk about addiction or anything about how I have negative mental health I'm NOT glorifying it, I am against people using any type of drug or substance that could potentially harm you. ESPECIALLY IF YOUR UNDER AGED. I am a teenager with an addiction and I'm trying to get over it, so if I joke about it, that's how I cope, I do not want anyone to think it's ok to use any substance or perform any action that I will ever post about. I do not post nsfw content at all. I would rather stay away from that side. I may make some suggestive jokes or post some suggestive things but I know what limit I will go at. Please do not ask me to draw anything nsfw.
Thank you for reading this.
D.A.H
