Itâs gonna be a lot so read only if you want too, Iâm just posting it here since I donât only want it on Reddit.
It has gotten to the point where now Iâm just gonna start writing about this head canon, Iâve got so many ideas in mind that I really canât just let go đ.
Though I know it will definitely bring problems, the main problem being honey is here and not too many people are fond of honey being with âvillainsâ. Unless weâre thinking of everyone here and their Archie versions then obviously this wouldnât work, but outside of Archie fang, bean, and bark arenât âvillainsâ like eggman, starline, infinite, mimic, etc. Those 3 literally do ANYTHING for money, fang has implied before that he will save people for a price, itâs as simple as the writers have never put fang in a situation where that happens đ. Theyâre mercenaries, not all mercenaries are just villains (star fox is a great example of that), the main reason I can see it not working is because of fang and his turd attitude đ.
Even though his personality sucks that doesnât mean honey canât be an honorary hooligan member, she also doesnât just become bad like fang either, fangâs gang is very similar to warioâs crew from wario ware, like despite warioâs crappy personality he still is surrounded by good people who care about him and call him out on his shit. Reminds me of two other characters that have done this to fang (bean and bark), bean and bark arenât nowhere near bad guys either, bean is the son of the hero and while heâs on wanted posters, the guy genuinely is just around to have fun and doesnât really care about what others think of him, Bark is just all around a good guy but is usually around bad people which makes him look bad, Fang is usually the one who makes them all look like âvillainsâ.
But now itâs time I explain the honey thing, Iâve gotten a few hate dms about simply having her with them because yk, bad guy canât be with good guy. But if youâre viewing honey with her Archie personality then obviously yes it wouldnât đ. But I donât view her that way, I view her with her original fighting vipers personality, I personally think it would be pretty cool to see a character like pop step (from mha vigilantes) in the sonic universe, honey is usually a shy character but when she puts on her armor she basically becomes a whole new person. There is one thing that Archie kinda removed from her character that made her different and thatâs the fact that sheâs kind of famous in that universe, honey in actuality is unknown and has no way to promote her brand normally. So she ends up doing the one thing she loves, fighting, honey is a very violent character with the armor on and a very shy character without it. That alone made me love the hooligan + honey head canon, a character who takes jobs from time to time with the hooligans to earn funds for her brand while also promoting it. On top of that has two very different personalities as well? Sign me up, make the hooligans more fun.
Then again it is the internet, Iâm not here to force you to like this and go âHoNeY sHoUlD bE wiTH ThE HooLIGaNs ALL tHe timEâ, you donât have to like it and thatâs okay, not everyone likes the same thing. But I would like to remind people, especially to those who hate it, it is a HEAD CANON. I had to put that in bold because I see no need to argue about something that isnât canon, itâs just a fun head canon that I have, I said it on twitter but if you donât like me drawing this then you can definitely block me, mute me, do whatever. I know majority want honey with mighty & ray (and there definitely have been people who blocked me because of that alone, I got blocked because mighty wasnât with honey on my tomodachi island for crying out loud đ). Iâm saying this now I donât hate the mighty, ray, & honey head canon, but if you donât like honey with anyone else besides them then donât get mad at me because I donât see it that way anymore and donât come telling me to switch it to Mighty & Ray eitherđ, I used to have that exact same headcanon until I learned more about the hooligans.
Now that Iâve got that out the way hereâs the last bit I wanted to drop, Bean, Bark, & Honey alone have much of a reason to be together, bean, bark, and honey the cat, have all first appeared in fighters together. Then later on bean and bark appeared in fighting megamix, a game where honeyâs human version is in, in one of the megamix comics bean & bark got human designs, so now all three of them have a human design out there đ. They all also appeared in another megamix comic where honey was in, the list can continue Iâm more surprised honey wasnât with bean & bark automatically. Again I did used to have to mighty, ray, & honey headcanon but after finding this stuff out and still finding out more about honey, now that fang bean and bark are likely to be with each other again, if she joins as the honorary hooligan it would be a pretty funny team, goofy mercs who do stuff for money and end up failing originally but getting the job done in the end. I definitely see that thereâs something there to be told with how team Sonic (with amy as the honorary Sonic member) and team hooligan (with honey being the honorary hooligan) both mirroring each other, with the obvious âŹď¸
I believe thereâs a story that can definitely be told if you get hella creative with it (you donât even have to change honey and make her âbadâ it can work with how her fv personality is) and Iâm more than willing to write it even when it will definitely get hate, Iâll gladly do it. đް
(oh and this is something I forgot to mention but if honey does actually get used in idw then head canon aside I would actually like for them to use her full personality, she isnât famous yet let her start poor and see her grow up to that point, I want to see her hate for carrots and for her two personalities to shine).
