zoe posts not-memes at midnight when she should be going to sleep

This one's simple!

Is there anything in your character(s)'s canon that is annoyingly left ambiguous? Or mysteriously so?

Anything that you'd actually prefer would remain untouched, or anything that was left hanging that you really wish they'd have picked up again?

BASICALLY QUESTIONS THAT WENT UNANSWERED

ANSWER HOWEVER YOU LIKE meanwhile I should go sleep

RUKA HAS NO SURNAME AND HER PARENTS HAVE NO NAMES OR FACES OR OCCUPATIONS OR ANYTHING, WHY
ALSO WE NEVER FOUND OUT WHAT THE DEAL WAS WITH HER HEART CONDITION
OR WHY SAVING HER BROTHER'S LIFE MADE HER HAVE A STROKE
OR WHY THEY SPENT SO LONG BASICALLY ESTABLISHING THAT THERE'S ANOTHER DIMENSION INSIDE HER HEART AND THEN TELEPORTING HER INTO IT AND THEN NEVER USING IT EVER AGAIN
ADDITIONALLY I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND A GODDAMN THING ABOUT THAT TERMINATOR PLOTLINE FINAL STORY ARC AT ALL
WHY WERE SPACE ROBOTS DESTROYING HUMANITY
WHY DID THE LAST REMAINING HUMANS GO BACK IN TIME AND USE THE SPACE ROBOTS TO DESTROY HUMANITY BEFORE HUMANITY COULD BE DESTROYED BY THE SPACE ROBOTS
WHY DID THE LEADER OF THE VILLAINS GIVE HIMSELF COSMETIC SURGERY TO LOOK LIKE THE MAIN CHARACTER
WHAT THE FUCK IS MOMENTUM, REALLY
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TRUE ALPHA TIMELINE????


YUMA'S CANON IS ONGOING
AND THE WRITERS LIKE DOING FAKE-OUTS AND REVERSALS

I STILL HAVE NO IDEA IF HIS MOM IS DEAD OR NOT

[personal profile] latrodectus 2012-04-30 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
WELL, I mostly play comic book canon characters with a pretty extensive catalogue so there is not so much left ambiguous. In fact I deal a lot more regularly with too much canon or multiple accounts that contradict each other. One thing that comes to mind is Natasha's origin stories, which have been retconned extensively in the past decade, and with each revision become more confusing. I wouldn't want them to revisit that again unless they were going to uh, make it more coherent instead of more confusing, and it's not something I trust them to do at present…

I don't mind not knowing little things like birthdays, or exactly what that mysterious comic book serum has done for Natasha, that gives me more room to explore without hampering my understanding of the character!!

BUT THE ANNOYINGLY AMBIGUOUS CANON WAS A HUGE EXASPERATION FOR ME WHEN I PLAYED S3 NASH

- The big bad enemy IS PRETTY MUCH UNSPOKEN since Mitch is an unreliable narrator and doesn't care about it more than stopping it
- And it might all be in his head but I don't think so
- Oh yeah anything about his future is pretty much left unspoken
- Or the limits of his powers
- then there's this question.
- which the last issue still dodges forever
- THE WHOLE COMIC IS IN DOUBLESPEAK and is up to interpretation

EDDIE'S PARENTS... DID THEY DIE? Likely not, though not explicitly stated, when White Knight made his creepy death-tree of all the Arkhamites and their families (BATMAN AND ROBIN 21-22), he made tiny Arkhamite dolls to decorate the tree. It's sort of like a tiny Christmas three of DEATH. Eddie's piece had three names on a piece of paper attached to it, to indicate his remaining living relatives. The order that White Knight was using was:
FATHER
MOTHER
SIBLINGS
CHILDREN
EXTENDED FAMILY

which can be vaguely deduced from the terrible scrawling. On Eddie's, the first two "sections" have tiny, unreadable names and there's sort of a space and then there's a third name. Mostly likely these are his parents and Enigma (supposedly Riddler's Daughter).

IS ENIGMA REALLY EDDIE'S KID? No, but Tony Daniel seems to think so.

TOOOONY DAAAAANIEEEELLLLLL!

WHAT ARE EDDIE'S PARENTS' NAMES? Are you fucking kidding me, they couldn't even name his damn parents I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW FRUSTRATING THIS IS. I headcanoned them based on Eddie's "children" in positive AUs LOOKING AT YOU ANTIMATTER UNIVERSE.

WHY WAS HUSH SO NEEDLESSLY PISSED AT HIM IN GOTHAM KNIGHTS 50-51? because hush is a jerk WELL REALLY IT'S NOT EXPLICITLY EXPLORED but Hush does say he wants to punish Eddie for "using" him, so I guess he figured out that Eddie was using Elliot for his money and shit during all of HUSH and actually had no intention of killing Batman because WHY WOULD YOU KILL YOUR BEST AUDIENCE?

Why is Tony Daniel? I DON'T KNOW. I don't know.

Gil's canon likes to be a confusing mess. I have WAY TOO MANY QUESTIONS.

Like when was Gil found by the Vessalius? When is his birthday? I headcanon'd it along with what seemed to make sense with his arrival but... still. Why does this canon insist that adopting mysterious orphans is such a good idea?

Who are Gil's biological parents? Why did his mother throw him away with Vincent when Vincent is the one with the red eye?

How did they escape the freak show they were sold to??

WHO BRAINWASHED HIM 100 YEARS AGO? Glen's servants? Or Jack's?

Whatever happened to that one woman he got close to? Dammit novel!

Is he going to be the duke of the Nightrays? Or is it just dissolved entirely with no biological family members?

backatthehotel: (Who was dragged down by the stone?)

[personal profile] backatthehotel 2012-04-30 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
oh my god yes you know technically it's never even stated that his first name is 'Floyd.'

1) Everything between his childhood and his breakdown, save a few details. So, like, we see his marriage, the end of it as it starts to go bad, but not how he met his wife or any of the good parts. We know he's a rock star and we see things backstage, but we never see him perform, never see any of his band mates, or how he broke into the businesslike. We don't know if his mother is still alive.

2) What the hell actually happened after Comfortably Numb. We know he was hauled out to the show, after wrecking the hotel room and having a spectacular breakdown. We do not know... anything after that, really, conclusively. He probably ends up hiding in a public bathroom, a crying mess, but what happened between the hotel room and that? Did he really dress up like a Nazi and tell his audience they all ought to be shot? What happened after that?

3) Some other events, whether they were real or not -- it's a seriously weird movie in places, and a lot of events are left unexplained, whether they're real or just symbolism. The groupie, there's a good argument for her not having really existed. But then, the hotel room was obviously really wrecked. Did he injure his hand? Was that real or not? And, again, the rally...

These are mostly things I've headcanoned one way or another, usually borrowing bits of other songs or the IRL lives of the men the character is based on. I don't really mind the uncertainty, it's part and parcel of playing a character with his kind of canon. But it's definitely a very present issue.

OKAY SO most of my unaswered questions are about the Voldemort outside the diary specifically but

DID THE DIARY KNOW WHO PUT IT IN GINNY'S HANDS OR NOT? Dumbledore seemed to think he would have, but he didn't seem very aware of what was going on around him while the diary wasn't open/been written in...

also i would really just like to know everything about his school years & after. and how much contact did he have with his old school buddies in the years leading up to the first war. like. did a lot of the death eaters' parents know who Voldemort was because he went to school with them?

and also i just want more on magic and the Dark Arts and how they work and just the world build in general.

oh, and also more about how the Horcruxes work? like, how much of the soul gets taken out each time...

JKR WAS REALLY VAGUE ABOUT A LOT OF VOLDEMORTS LIFE for good IC reason BUT STILL I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING :(

OH YEAH and i wish she'd explained a bit more about how Occlumency and Legilimency work. i get that Harry was crap at the one and never going to learn the other but come on. there has to be more to it at Snape and Dumbledore and Voldemort's levels than ~memories floating to the surface~

- zachary zatara... everything
about him

everything about zee's history


- tim and john. this was left untouched because of the whole vertigo/dc divide that's only recently (unfortunately) been mended.

- her relationship with the phantom stranger. she's apparently the only one he's "close" to other than nabu and he speaks to her like an equal not SPOOKY HARBINGER. there's a reason he trusts her more than everyone else and i really wish they'd show more of them together, not necessarily let me know why he does. tbh i'll take more of the sentinels of magic in any way i can get them.

- most of her love interests aren't shown more than 1-2 times other than constantine. i'd really love to see more of him (and tim), but only if written by like, ney rieber. also doctor thirteen because they were so hideous. :(

- but why didn't she just tell selina what was going on instead of being pa toward ivy why did this even i can't.......

- characterization that isn't quippy but still really kind of... boring by dini or the same thing but BAWW FOREVER ALONE GONNA GO READ ROMANCE NOVELS by beechen. these are my biggest pet peeves. :(

-HOW THE FUCK DOES FATHER ISOLATE HIS SINS FROM HIMSELF ANYWAY
-WITH LUST DID HE JUST CONCENTRATE REAL HARD ON GETTING A BONER AND THEN BUD HER OUT OF HIS CHEST OR SOMETHING
-WHAT THE FUCK
-CAN SHE GET NAKED??
-WHAT WAS FATHER'S ROLE IN THE GATE AND HOW DID THAT XERXIAN ALCHEMIST GET HIM OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE? DO THE HOMUNCULI SHARE ANY OF HIS KNOWLEDGE/CONNECTION TO THE SHIT WITHIN THE GATE AND THE TRUTH OR IS THAT JUST ALL HIM?
-ARE HER EYES RED OR PURPLE, ARAKAWA
-IS GLUTTONY THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD TO BE REMADE? OVER LIKE 4 CENTURIES YOU'D THINK SOME OF THEM WOULD HAVE FUCKED UP AND NEEDED A PHILOSOPHER'S STONE RECHARGE BUT IDK MAYBE THAT'S JUST ME

Oh my god yes.

Sanji's birthplace and origin. It's a complete mystery, as I had to say on Death's permissions post. All we know is that his canon birthday is March 2 and he was born in North Blue. North Blue is AN ENTIRE HEMISPHERE OF OCEAN. There's no info on which island in North Blue, who his parents were, how he grew up for the first 8-9 years of his life, and under what circumstances he found himself working as a kitchen assistant on a cruise ship in East Blue with no parental supervision. Are his parents dead? Did he run away from home? Did he have a pretty decent youth or a shitty one? Did his family life contribute at all to his ethic or did he learn it all from Zeff? NOBODY KNOWS and god I really really want to know.

Alastair suffers from ambiguous canon that requires a lot of headcanon for gap-filling. He and his comrades got ridiculously detailed backstories considering they were one-arc throwaway villains, but because YGO never does anything completely right, there's a lot of gaps in that backstory. Which country did he come from? It had to be one at war in the early 90's, into which Gozaburo Kaiba would have conceivably wanted to do a little arms dealing even if he technically didn't do it himself. What's his last name? Oh, and the big one? What happened to his dad?! We know his mom was killed thanks to the war, and his little brother, but where'd his dad go?

Geddoe has a lot of mystery gaps too. Suikoden canon tells us his home country was taken over by Harmonia and wiped off the map, but it neglects to tell us the name of that country or where, within the current borders of Harmonia, it used to be. We know he fled from his homeland but we don't know exactly how old he was or WHY he decided to run. Or what happened to his family, even though they'd be long dead by now anyway. We don't know if he had siblings or anything. We are told he was a bandit/highwayman before falling in with the Flame Champion, but we don't know why he turned to banditry. We also don't know what he did with himself during 42 of his 50 years in exile - how far he traveled, which countries he visited, how he earned his keep, whether he knew about the Dunan Unification War or the fall of Scarlet Moon and the roles other True Runes played in those wars. He went completely underground from the year the peace treaty was signed up until 8 years before the Second Firebringer War, when he joined the SFDF in order to keep double-agent-style tabs on Harmonian troop movements. It leaves room for a loooot of headcanon, which I don't mind, since it looks like there will never be any more Suikoden games in continuity so it's not like future canon will contract anything I've come up with. But I'd really like to know where he was on the continent during the Gate Rune War and Dunan Unification War, and whether he's ever left the northern continent. Because, really, I headcanon that he would get seasick, but the only way to travel to the Island Nations, Falena, or the far western continent is to sail. I want to know if he HAS.

OWEN

How on earth did he get SPEED from his MOM. Meloni was a Thawne not an Allen. The ones with the speed in their blood is Allen. Malcolm was adopted by the Thawnes but is Barry Allen's twin brother. So like...were did that speed come from? I mean I guess Malcolm could have eventually have passed it down but then like Eobard was from the 25th cent and crazy as hale and I can't remember how he got his speed but it wasn't genetic. And then there is the question how on earth did Owen travel from the future into present time? And was Owen born before or after Bart? ALL THESE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS that will never be answered. :'|
