Recreating My Old ZP Addison Headcannon
Hey everyone! This headcannon was one of the first posts I ever made on Tumblr, back before I knew how the site really worked. I wanted to redo this post, now that I’ve gotten better at this sort of thing. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: all art plus characters belong to Vivziepop, not me. Also, this post makes mention of suicide, so if you are sensitive to this, please proceed with caution
To start off, I suggest that we all take a good look at the first image above. I found this image from a reblog ZikkaFriday had, I believe was reblogged from VivzPortfolio. I found the others from VivzPortfolio, and a reblog from that account respectively.
Got a good look? Let’s discuss wtf is going on. It appears that in the first image, someone has died. Obviously, we don’t see who, as this would be a spoiler. But, maybe, we can guess who it is.
I’ll get to the point though, and explain why I think the dead person here is Addison Woods.
The first thing that made me think this? I would like to direct you to the lyrics Damian appears to be singing in the bottom corner. I looked up these lyrics, as I was wondering if it might give a clue. These lyrics come from a folk rock song called “fire and rain” by James Taylor. This song is about a few things… like the suicide of the singer’s long time friend. This made me recall the next two images, which both come from a scrapped comic idea that showed how Addi and Dame met. While there isn’t much to suggest how long ago before the main story this takes place, I think that it wouldn’t be unreasonable to suggest that these two have been friends for a while now. Especially given their relationship in the comic
In my old post, I also touched on how a lot of the characters in the first image are characters that have some relationship with Addison. Sahara is one of Addi’s close friends. He and Kayla have been drawn hanging out and singing together, plus there’s the old “ding dong the witch is dead” animatic with him and Kayla. Camilla cares for Addi quite a bit. Addi has some connection to Zill and Jack. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that the rest of the main 5 (vanex and spam) would also have some interaction with Addi due to this. The only outliers here are Jayjay, Jackie and Alonzo who, from what I can tell, have no specific connection to Addison
Unlike with my first headcannon, however, I went further. And I looked up more lyrics.
Camilla is singing “Hurt” by Christina Aguilera, a song where the singer is singing to a dead loved one. She also sings “If I die young”. Sahara is singing “I’ll stand by You” by the Pretenders, which is a song about being there for someone in their darkest hour. Kayla is singing “make you feel my love” which has been sung by several artists including Adele. It’s a standard “let me comfort you” song. JayJay is singing “Goodbye” by Kesha, a pretty self explanatory song directed towards a loved one. Kestrel is singing “there’s a hero” by Billy Gilman. Spam is doing “hospital flowers” by owl city (a song where the singer counts his blessings after a car crash). Vanex is singing “Breath no more” by Evennessence , a song about changing yourself to please another person. And Alonzo is singing “somewhere over the rainbow”, which I’m sure most of us are familiar with.
Basically, a lot of sad. That all being said, these song choices reaffirm my belief that Addi is dead, especially Camilla’s, assuming we go with her relationship indicated by the chart. Due to Damian’s song, and the tone of many of the others being “I’ll help you in a dark place”, I think that it may have been through suicide.
However! As those who remember my old post may recall, there was a part 2. See, I also headcannon that Addi doesn’t stay dead. I’ll make a part 2 where I go into my thoughts on how this may play out.
