Head Canon Round up Post

[tptigger]

I'm actually relatively new to the party, but it's clear we're starting to generate some awesome head canons that are likely to start turning into in jokes.

It would probably be a great idea to have a post with links to the origins so that we can easily clue in the newbies. :)

Please comment with additions, and I'll try to remember to add them to the main post.

1 x 15 The Captains will rotate like HP DAtDA teachers until the crew threatens mutinies if they don't get Saru and Burnham
What happened to the next three captains

Anyone want to help me add to this?

Additions:
Thread of predictions of season 7 crack pairing TL;DR Saru/Mirror!Georgieu.

The first use of Ash Tyler being called "Lt. Bambi" was in the episode post for 1x10, Despite Yourself and is explained In this thread (but be advised there is also discussion of that terrible thing that happened that episode too)

Everyone needs therapy puppies (who may or may not get Disco shirts)
This one spawned a really lovely fic

I can't remember where I saw this one (possibly in an anonymous space frequented by some members?) but I think i saw it here too:

Between Sybok, Spock, and Michael, Sarek is well on his way to a full set of horcruxes. 😂

[rivendellrose]

Picard was the last horcrux, clearly.

[nenya_kanadka]

Also, because I keep mentioning it and confusing people, the Commodore Paris I ship with Disco ladies is this one (played by Shohreh Aghdashloo in ST Beyond), not this one (boring dude from a hundred years later who Tom Paris has daddy issues about). Although word of God is hot lady Paris is also an ancestor.

She would be about the same age as Philippa Georgiou and Katrina Cornwell. I ship them all.

There was a thread speculating on what the show's last minute pairing would be, in the spirit of Troi/Worf, Julian/Ezri, and Chakotay/Seven.

[nenya_kanadka]

And the consensus was Emperor Pippa/Prime Saru! 😂

I think it was in the "hopes and dreams and DNW for season 2" thread?

We need hedcanon tag or something for this post, it’ll get lost otherwise.

[tptigger]

There isn't one, but I've tagged it as "meta". If our Fearless Leader wants to fix that, I have no objections

[mekare]

Oh good!

[nenya_kanadka]

IMHO "meta" is a broad enough category to fit headcanons and various speculations in, especially on a community like this where there isn't so much traffic that a single tag like that would be so busy things would get lost. I think it's fine.

[mekare]

Yup I agree. Also what an adorable Kaylee icon!

[nenya_kanadka]

:D Yours too! :D

[mekare]

Thanks, ebsolutely made it. I love the colours in it, but yours has that typical Kaylee expression!

[mekare]

Oh and we should definitely add the nickname Lt. Bambi to this post though I've been going through the comm's posts (up to ep. 7) but I can't find where it was first used.

[tptigger]

Yeah, I went onto a deep dive into the comments and couldn't find it either. I had to stop after awhile, got stuck in my head.

[mekare]

I got a headache from concentrating too much. Maybe it wasn't even in the comm but in rivendellrose's personal journal (I asked her and she couldn't remember where she first used it.)

[tptigger]

I saw that. I'll add it with source unknown for now. (I wanna find the therapy puppies thread too)

[mekare]

FOUND IT!
It's in the episode post for 1x10: https://spacefungusparty.dreamwidth.org/11992.html

Quote: rivendellrose used it first in her episode review:

"HELLO, MIRROR UNIVERSE! And holy fucking HELL that was a ride. I'm honestly not even sure how to put my feelings here together into coherent comments, but I WILL TRY.

- Hmmm, Lieutenant Bambi is out trying to do delicate procedures on the remains of a Klingon ship. This feels like time for -- YUP, ANOTHER PTSD EPISODE."

Then later we have this thread where the origin is explained and people agree to it as a fitting nickname: https://spacefungusparty.dreamwidth.org/11992.html?thread=205272#cmt205272

"LIEUTENANT BAMBI LOL

I said it as a joke to a friend once, and it stuck. XD"

*highfive*

[nenya_kanadka]

Omg, you are best at sourcing quotes!

[mekare]

Glad to be of service. I adore that nickname.

[tptigger]

*tacklehugs* You are the best!

[mekare]

*hugs back* Thank you for coming up with this post idea! We should keep a record of the awesomeness. (Also STRG+F is a good invention *g*)

[tptigger]

I am very glad you dug these up, because that was the one post I wouldn't be able handle a deep dive into. Because Reasons.
Thank you so much for finding that!
