I knew there was A Thing™ about his kneecaps getting stolen, but I a) wasn't sure if it was canon or fanon and b) was *not* expecting it to be this wild either way lmao
Enjoy a collection of memes based on my Star Wars OC’s & their relationships with canon characters but with almost no context
Linzaria is a Jedi Master, Luna is a Padawan, Joey is her clone bestie, & Helix is the fanon medic for the 212th that most every fic writer adopts (I think)

A little plot bunny that wouldn’t leave me alone. Endgame Xicheng, background Wangxian. Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented Crossover.
Jiang Cheng will never admit to weakness, even with a sword to his neck. So it is a surprise when Sect Leader Lan appears at his doorstep, a serious expression on his face and questions about his sleep.
Jiang Cheng’s sleep has not been easy since he was a fresh faced child walking into the Cloud Recesses for the first time.
“It is a curse from Dongying.” Sect Leader Lan says as soon as they’re alone, floating beside the lotuses in what used to be his mothers pavilion.
“Why do you bring this to me?” He snapped, pushing the offered scroll to the side.
“My brother has seen you there.”
Jiang Cheng’s heart stops.
“My brother has shown me the bruises on his arms, his legs. Curse marks in the shape of snakes and peonies side by side. Please, Sect Leader Jiang, let me help you!” Xichen pleads, hands up as if Jiang Cheng is a startled beast who needs calming.
‘Aren’t you though? A beast who killed his own brother?’ Golden poison whispers in his ear, the bruised tattoos slowly consuming his body pulsing under his clothes. Xichen must see something in his face because he keeps talking.
“Please! This curse will kill you if you keep following the ghost further into the mansion.” He pleads, hands reaching out to his fellow sect leader. Lan Xichen doesn’t even flinch when Zidian sparks weakly, trying one vain to defend her dying master.
Jiang Cheng curls over the table with a choked curse, hands nearly tearing his clothes as the tattoos on his back send waves of pain through his body. Sharper than anything he’s felt before.
Jiang Cheng understands now why Zidian is so weak in the waking world. Why he's always awakened by a sharp shock before he can follow that laughing figure through the final door. Why the cursed tattoos retreat from her sparks when they hurt him just as much. Zidian, the last thing he ever received from his mother, has been keeping him alive.
Okay, can we please talk about Gunpowder Tim's eyes for a moment? xD
The picture on the left (charred face/eyes) is from Tim's debut performance, the one on the right (circuit lines coming out from his eyes) is from a later one. I totally get that Tim Ledsam was still feeling out what kind of character Gpt was and what he looked like (just like how Ben didn't always have a brass-coloured face and how Rachel didn't have wings at Raphaella's debut) - but. In-universe?
In-universe, this just looks like Jonny (d'Ville) went "No shower for you right after the Moon explosion! I don't care that you just got mechanised and want to take a nap. Gig first, then you can go clean up! Chop, chop!", and I find that both hilarious and completely in character for Jonny
(also Tim looks so fucking traumatised in all pics from that first performance and that totally supports this idea T^T)
What if Tim, as the Green Knight, took the role of a tour guide to show Fort Galfridian to the other Mechanisms while everyone was still there? What if Ivy wrote down every little piece of information about the place, because it's just all very interesting? What if Marius went to take a selfie next to the Hanged Man and then somehow immediately got himself lost in the Saxon lands? What if Jonny learned what gun duels look like on Fort Galfridian, and got to teach the locals how it's done on New Texas? What if Raphaella stole one of the metal "horses" because she wanted to see all the fun new technology inside it? What if Nastya stole the bike from her (because she's also interested in how the vehicle works), and the two got into a back-and-forth of stealing it from the other? What if TS did something really heroic (drawing the blood of a Saxon) (also drawing with the blood of a Saxon, but shhh), and got a shiny new medal/brooch that it happily wore on its uniform for the next several spweeks or maybe spmonths? What if Ashes singlehandedly ended the gold rush by gathering all the gold by themself and leaving nothing there for the locals? What if Brian- oh, wait. Where's Brian? Eh, it's probably fine. He'll show up sooner or later, surely.
It is my firm belief (funky headcanon I just thought of) that in Expert Testimony, when Lyfrassir says "their clothing and weapons were utterly alien, and it took almost 20 years to capture them", it meant something along the lines of: Ivy, Raphaella, and Marius were standing in a battle ready stance, back to back, all dressed in very bad viking clothing because they listened to Tim about this, Ivy holding a book with both hands like a gun, Raphaella holding a water pistol, and Marius holding a frying pan, all while gaslighting the New Midgardians that yes, these are very real and very dangerous weapons, and no, they aren't afraid to use them, and the police force was too scared to do anything for two decades, but Lyf had to make it sound a bit more dignified for the report
(Also just adding this here so it doesn't get lost in the tags: the three videos referenced are the whole Lashings gig for Scuzz and two songs from the Transpose gig for Beta)
