any fun helstarr headcanons or story ideas?
thanks so much for asking and apologies for getting back to this late!
for headcanons///
— i like to think that karen carries helena around whenever she can.
romantic getaways and simple daytime flies (when they’re free), helena and karen will be seen in the sky. if they’re feeling silly, you’ll maybe see karen toss her gal up in the air a couple times and catch her. their laughter can be heard for miles.
— helena got a tattoo of her and karen’s heroic symbols on her body. if not their hero symbols, then something that defines them (example: helena having a bat and cat tattoo)
— helena will drop of treats/lunches at karen’s company for her and when she has time, she’ll actually stay and spend her lunch with karen.
— they def take showers together. no need to elaborate.
— karen and helena watch reality tv shows when bored. purest form of entertainment… or opinion sharing.
the biggest debate they had was about 90 day fiancé. 10 pm, helena is going through some case files, karen puts it on as background noise real low so hel stays focused, they both zone in on a particular couple and their conflict, hijinks ensue.
— for one of their anniversaries, karen got a portrait of her and helena done and gifted it to her. funny part was that helena got one done of them too.
they were both different with different attributes, karen got a more serious one for hel while hel got a more carefree and more expressive portrait for karen. safe to say, they are beloved by both of them and were hung up by the end of that night.
for story ideas///
— the classic power swap trope.
i know, i know, we’ve heard it a million times but the idea of karen being stripped of her abilities and receiving helena’s skills while helena is stripped of her abilities and receiving karen’s powers is sure to be a good story.
— double damsel.
this one is what i like to call the double damsel. one is taken hostage/prisoner and the other goes to save them just for THEM to be taken hostage/prisoner too. no one else comes for them so its just up to karen and helena to get out of it. most of the time, helena is the mastermind behind their plans and gets them out. not that karen hasn’t done so before but helena is definitely a quick thinker and her brain is what gets them out of some sticky situations.
— day off.
karen and helena are definitely appreciators of relaxation after a long streak of hard work. whether it be hero-related or work-related, karen will take herself and helena out to have a good time. breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, maybe a stroll in the park or a day out shopping, karen’ll do it all if it means spending time with her sweet lady.
i’m out of ideas for now, my friends! if you have anything else you’d love to add, please do!!! i love hearing all of your guys’ thoughts on them :D
