2 and 6 for both Maria and Phoebe
Questions for Muns of Canon Muses
2. Do you have any controversial headcanons that go against what is generally accepted by the fandom? Do you incorporate this into writing your muse or keep it to yourself?
I don’t think I have any headcanons that go against what is accepted by the fandom since I only talk to about five others in the fandom because I don’t know many others.
It seems to be generally accepted that after the series when all of the teens left on the run, Maria was probably almost killed and had to be healed -- therefore turning her into another hybrid gaining powers like Liz and Kyle.
The one thing I do that I haven’t seen others do is I do blend TV!Maria with Book!Maria in that I have her being very perceptive and able to see auras sometimes like she did in the books.
6. What is the general opinion of your muse’s fandom about them? Do you agree with it?
Of the people in the fandom that I know of we all agree that Maria is the bomb and fucking amazing with everything she goes through.

Oh gods. So so many headcanons for Phoebe. So many that are probably REALLY unpopular. However, since the Charmed fandom can sometimes be a toxic place, I keep MOST of my thoughts and opinions to myself.
One of the main ones? She only refused to try and work things out when Cole came back from the Wastelands because she had been through so damn much trauma in a short amount of time and she was fucking scared of taking any risks again with him. She flat-out told him that she still loved him and probably always would.

I’ve seen Phoebe get a lot of hate in the fandom for her different choices. She was never meant to be as mellow as Piper or as overly responsible as Prue. She was always the free-spirit trying to find her way. Losing both of her parents as a baby fed into a lot of her self-worth issues and what she thought she could or wanted to do.
Yes, she grew up and became more responsible, but she always, always led with her heart -- something that Patty and Penny both commented on quite often.
