Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.


Concerns?

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

Re: Amusing / Interesting Headcanons

He actually had a pretty normal, non-traumatic childhood, with parents who were unremarkable, small-town people who tried their best to raise a son with Anger Issues to still be a good person. They took him to church on Sundays, he was probably in a church-related youth group (because lol, "promise ring"), he was in pretty much every respect a normal American kid except that everything secretly pisses him right the fuck off. He got bullied and picked on as a very small kid (until he learned to beat the shit out of anyone who messed with him) but only by other kids and only in the "normal" sense of bullying.

I think it's interesting in its normality, because the standard headcanon for this character among the fans is that his alcoholic dad (always the dad, fuck you guys, women can be abusive alcoholic assholes too) beat the shit out of him every day all day which is why he became the guy he is and has the anger issues he does. And I just . . . see nothing in canon to support that, at all. I think it's trite and oversimplified and strips him of a lot of interesting nuances to his character.
