i know you are like the op of rust but. rust for the headcanons ask meme? :0
omg this is so funny bc literally i am the op of rust...any headcanons can and will become actual literal canon i am a god here
Rex
Headcanon A: realistic
She has little silicon pads on her fingertips and also her lil feet so she doesn't scuff up any flooring!! lil toe beans!!
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
She has a small camera that takes pictures transferrable through SSTV that's exclusively wide-lens and she singlehandedly brings cat memes back to the post-apocalyptic continental US.
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
She has *rolls wheel of robot issues* internalized the concept of shame as a learned behavior. This is what happens when your first models of human behavior are a child and your creatorfatherhusband.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
Nothing is unrealistic because she's my gay robot and I get to canonize whatever I want about her so I guess engineering-wise, this wouldn't be very feasible, but I do think she has little pop-up attachments, containers, and tools hidden in origami compartments similar to how NASA's trial-running origami robots that can reconfigure themselves for different purposes in a very space-efficient way. Not super realistic or possible in her build, but interesting to think about!
Maizee
Headcanon A: realistic
She knits! She's pretty good at it too, you'll know she likes you if winter comes around and you have a new pair of mittens or a scarf dangling from your door. Wool yarn is one of the few things she will accept a poor deal for, just because it's such a rarity and she likes it so much.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
She actually kind of really needs glasses.
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
She actually has quite a bit of resentful anemoia towards the past world, and to a certain extent Rex (as a figure, not as a person). The world she lives in now is so bereft of any softness or ease in so many places that the idea of expending resources just to build something to complete tasks you can do yourself is unfathomable to her, and she (along with, probably, a lot of other people) may consciously or subconsciously foster some resentment because of that. There's a lot about how the old world collapsed that needs to be explored.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
One day she's going to wake up and realize she's perfectly complete the way she is and the people who love her do so because of who she is and not what she does or gives in return. :)
send me a character and i'll give you hcs!
