Past TOG Headcanons:
We had another wonderful headcanon elimination game on the femslash discord, this time with historical headcanons from past to future - these are the headcanons about the more or less recent past:
King Frederick I Barbarossa's death was due to some immortal intervention. (The dude was a king - of Germany and Italy? - in 1155 and led a giant army east in one of the crusades and then unceremoniously drowned in a river in Turkey. We don't know how or why it happened but about two thirds of his army deserted ... so he wasn't the most popular person around) - @jackwolfskid
The guard was involved in one of the defenestrations of prague - @waxwingsfail
Quỳnh thought she hallucinated it, but throughout her time in the ocean she actually saw many "cryptids" pass by her coffin. It isn't until Nile, Joe, Nicky and Booker are watching YouTube videos about various cryptids that Quỳnh realizes they might be real... - @insomnia-anonymous
Andromache met Anne Bonny (bisexual pirate, 1710s) and saved her from execution - @lilolilyr - 3d place in the game!
Andy invented some diving methods and marine technology in hear search for Quỳnh - @cryhardanddanceharder
Quỳnh kept a little bit of the money from everywhere they went through every change it had (Andy keeps the tradition up for her) - @waxwingsfail - 10th place in the game!
The old guard went on the expedition to Antarctica where the people ate the dogs and resorted to cannibalism yet still mostly survived - @authortrash
Andy accidentally lit the Great Chicago Fire - @authortrash
Andy was ‘Calamity Jane’ - @my-gaydar-is-on-point
The Guard was on the titanic (they had actually planned to get away from any important events for once) - @lilolilyr
The Guard is magically attracted to historical events. (Even when they just try to chill for a change, they end up in the most famous cruise ship of history (Titanic) or the coffee house they hang out in 18th century France happens to be the meeting place of the soon to be revolution leaders. "Fuck this is just another historical event" or some variation of the phrase has been said on multiple occasions.) Insert meme "if I had a nickle for each time I accidentally attended or messed with a historical event I had x nickels which is not a lot but it's weird it happened x times) - @jackwolfskid
Andy was a blacksmith for a time, and got quite well known in the area for both her skill and her strange companions - @mythologeekwriter
Andy learned to blacksmith (so none of her family would ever be without their favoured weapon) - @waxwingsfail
