may i ask for some joe headcanons...? i wish to see what others think about the karate man
HELLOOOOO YES SORRY FOR MY LATENESS I HAD TO DRAG MYSELF THROUGH SOME GAY LITTLE BRAINROT AGAIN
• So I mean I think we’re all on the same page when we say fuck everything about Joe’s dad right? Marge Simpson hair lookin ass doesn’t even deserve a mention because he’s toxic but I will nevertheless put this out here because it is part of Joe’s headcanon characterization from me.
• He talks, just... not much. He’ll talk to you if you talk to him first, but he’s not the type to initiate conversation unless something genuinely important is happening.
• Despite training with nothing but pots, shot-put balls, soccer balls, lightbulbs, barrels, bombs and whatever else he is actually very capable of fighting and hurting someone. Even as a kid growing up it was kind of common knowledge among everyone who even sort of knew him that you don’t mess with Joe because he can and will move faster than you in a fight.
• On that note in part with how vigorously trained he was growing up and also how isolated he was there are a few social norms he doesn’t really get but generally the worst to expect from him is anything physical because as mentioned above, he can and will hurt you. High-fives and fist bumps especially discouraged because he’s not fully aware of how strong he is compared to other people and may dislocate your shoulder.
• Despite being so cold and distant he is a genuinely nice, kind guy, he just has trouble conveying it due to having pretty underdeveloped social skills.
• Aside from karate something else he’s pretty good at is cooking! He has to do a lot of it considering he has an energy-demanding diet to maintain so he’s just naturally gotten better at cooking (though he sometimes punches his own cooking pots off the counter just out of reflex)
• Thank you Remix 9 for giving me this headcanon but he totally owns a cat.
• Joe just has a habit of kind of being... there. Like he pops up everywhere, we don’t know where he came from or why he’s somewhere, but he’s there. Concerts, parks, snowy mountains or beaches, chances are if you are in a place, it shouldn’t be hard to find Joe nearby still training, as if he can just teleport or something.
Also you?? My friend?? I like ya karatestomp G
