Surprised by my own headcanon
5 years ago
Don't do it first. Do it better.
Figured it was about time I got that other journal off the page, nice as it is for me to see.
So yesterday evening I spent most of the time listening to hit 80s music and occasionally watching their videos. One was for Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" from the movie Mannequin. This is context for the following thing that went through my head on the bus to work this morning, over the span of about twenty seconds.
* Listens to song again.
* Looks up on Wikipedia.
* "It's a modern retelling of the Pygmalion myth of an artist who creates a statue so perfect it comes to life."
* Oh yeah, and her name was Galatea.
* That might be a good character name for me to use someday.
* That and I just like the name.
* She'd need a nickname.
* How about Tea?
* What, like the Yu-Gi-Oh! char?
* Sudden completely unexpected headcanon accepted: Tea's name was short for Galatea all along.
* Like Tristan Taylor's name, it even has alliteration with her last name: Galatea Gardner.
* (Or maybe Dorotea)

Incidental headcanons are the best headcanons.

It's like shower thoughts, just not in the shower.

You might need to re-sight your head canon, friend. You blew my mind on accident!

Thank you ^_^ glad at least one other person's on board with it, even sort of. It got lukewarm reactions with most people I told it to.
