Oneshot Headcanons

Pronouns are He/Him, and have fun!

[oneshotheadcanons]

Hey! I hope no other blog serves this specific purpose right now (if it does then I'll take this down) but right now this is for you to submit your headcanons for Oneshot characters! Simple as that!

I do have a couple rules for this blog, though, and since I'm only one mod, I hope you won't make it too hard on me and follow them?

-No nsfw stuff! Things can be a little suggestive, but not to an aggressive point. Use your common sense.

-I use 'headcanons' loosely- if you want to give us an AU idea here, I'll post it! Have fun!

-Again, use your common sense. Thats really all I ask for at the end of the day.

-Oh and yeah! Have fun! Even if your headcanons make literally no sense, you can still put 'em in there!

Speaking of impairments after holding Sun for so long...

Sun is radioactive. What are the chances of Niko suffering leukemia or something post solstice?

Ghhh, this hurts every feeler in my body but I'd still read a fic about this.

Proto is autistic.

I think nikos species glowing eyes fade with time

Like a new born baby eye's are almost like looking at the sun while and old person's eye's barealy have any glow

And the moment they pass away their eyes fully turn off

niko is fairly vision-impaired on account of holding Representation Of The Sun in dark environments, like a foot away from their face, for like 2 days. and then another 2 days for solstice. my poor baby's eyes

In game us using the arrow keys is the player giving Niko a feeling of "go in this direction" and not us actively controlling their body. Otherwise it's pointing arrows. Also other headcanon*. Niko would be 20 with a 2 years of margin. :) yes I think niko would be a 2005 (ish) kid sue me :)

The reason why we see the game like a 2D pixel game is because camera that follows Niko rendering settings are set to minimum Explaining: In fact, the world is much more detailed and lively than we can see. The reason why we don't see it like this is because the camera that follows and helps us to communicate with Niko and the world has it's inner settings, which are set to render only mostly important things with minimum, but enough detalization During TWM development, this was done for several reasons: 1) To save time (Like, the world were ending) 2) To make Player's and Niko's communication easier 3) To ensure that Player could at least launch the programm with whatever they have (Like, how was Author supposed to know what they'd have: GeForce RTX 90802011 with Intel Core i42 or a potato field instead of a CPU and GPU?) + Have to disappoint you a little, though. If you're already rushing to find these hidden settings to set them on maximum, you won't be able to. These settings are buried so deep in World Machine's code that even they doesn't know how to change them. So, no ultra mega hyper super omega photo-realistic RTX On DLSS 5 Off 1440p 60 FPS OneShot for you (Or basically, I just liked lore explaination of ULTRAKILL graphics and wanted to apply it on OneShot)

I love love love all kinds of meta explanations for these things. And yeah, these completely make sense. <3

I've been adding onto all of these asks but I'm wondering if y'all want me to keep doing it...? I'll be able to answer things quicker if I don't and I likely won't be taking many hiatuses if I do.

Should I add onto asks?

Yes

No

i have soooo so many silver headcanons i'm kind of insane about that robot ♡

my headcanon for how she was "fixed" after The Incident is that they did something to her code she can't bypass that made her WAY less expressive. she still feels all her feelings just as intense as before but she's like physically incapable of expressing them too much. people were scared she'd repeat The Incident but kip didn't want all her hard work completely gone (she made silver specifically to be a Person!!) so that was the compromise

"oh but she was really really scared for niko and proto during solstice and literally died for them" niko is a living being and also the messiah ☝️ she has to follow the laws of robotics and protect them

Yes!!! You get it you get it

[oneshotheadcanons]

Theres a TON of knock off merch of Niko in the world machine post canon

T-shirts,plushies,halloween costumes-

All of that kinda stuff :P

I mean, they are the messiah!

[oneshotheadcanons]

Silver is secretly a person disguised as a robot

(thank you solstice dialogue)

OUgh.... ideas, ideas...

[oneshotheadcanons]

Magpie is shorter than Calamus

Calamus is tallllllll

[oneshotheadcanons]

I like to think Rue was some kind of fox shaped toy, but she wanted to feel truly alive. When the Author made the simulation, he gave her the chance to be represented as a living fox in it.

This.......!!

[oneshotheadcanons]

In the end, I wasn't entirely clear on whether Cedric was a robot or not because he seems to say so at the end of the game, but in the photo with the author, he looks younger... what if he was an organic human, but one day something happened to him, so his father had to turn him into a robot?

That I can see. It was always really confusing to me so its cool to hear ppls thoughts!

[oneshotheadcanons]

I’ve been making a lot of headcanons about OneShot characters recently, and a few of them have to do with Rue. Most of them are just picked up from various fanfics, such as her being a trans girl. However, there’s one that I thought up after looking at human Rue designs on Reddit, and that’s that Rue is secretly upset by all of the things that she naturally wouldn’t be able to do as a fox without any anthropomorphic traits, like hands or thumbs. She hides it, because she doesn’t want to seem ungrateful for what she is. She does like certain fox parts, like her tail and ears, but she still gets upset whenever she needs help opening a door or carrying something. She also feels dehumanized by how she’s seen by strangers, and hates not technically being a person.

Yes!!! Nonhuman characters who don't want to be seen that way mess me up... you get it.

[oneshotheadcanons]

Proto would technically be British if you think about it

Explain?

[oneshotheadcanons]

TWM uses FL Studio on the player’s PC and then encrypts the project files so the player doesn’t notice. This goes on until the player catches them and demands to hesr their beats

...I do want to hear their beats...
