#ed headcanons

He's not normally a sentimental person, but he keeps his hair long in a "hair holds memory" kind of way. The last thing he had to hold onto his mom after they burned the house down was her brushing his hair. So while he denies that as the reason—saying he just can't be bothered instead—that's why he lets it grow long in the first place.

So as the years go by it just becomes a Thing. Even if there are things he'd like to forget he refuses to just like he refuses to cut off his long hair. The memories fade a little at a time just like how his hair is only trimmed a bit at a time every few months. And only loved ones like Izumi, Al, Winry and Roy are allowed to trim his hair (he trims his own bangs usually cause they annoy him faster).

thank you !!!!

from this series of headcanons :)

Eric tries hard to convince Donna to go with him to conventions but never gets it right. So Donna, as gift for their first anniversary together, got tickets for the San Diego Comic-Con and even cosplayed with him.

Even when he feels insecure with the number of fans Donna has on youtube and other social media, he supports her channel and activities. In fact, you can say Eric is Hot Donna's biggest fan... yet, he would try to mark his territory by being an ass to people on the comments section. Donna blocked him at the end.

When Eric went to Africa, they did skype calls almost every day. She used to fall asleep while on it, so he took a lot of screen captures of it.

Eric spends an insane amount of time finding cat videos for Donna. He sends her one every morning as a 'good morning' message. She thinks is cute.

They went together to see the Star Wars prequels and now the sequels, too. She thinks Rey is the best female lead of SW, while Eric still thinks is Leia. Both agree Padmé is too cool and deserved better.

While in Africa, Eric insisted in sending Donna letters to be romantic. The first one were almost ridiculous, but with the past of the days, they became more and more real and intimate. She has them all on a box, and she considers them one of her biggest treasures.

Donna is still blushing at how good Eric got in sexting and dirty selfies.

She writes enormous paragraphs on whatsapp that make Eric sweat with the 'writing...' symbol on his chat. Then, she erases all and answers with emojis. When that happens, Eric knows he is dead.

At Eric's insistence, she has 'Binary Sunset' as Eric's tone when he calls her. He has Rey's theme for hers.

He also insist they are the perfect Luke and Mara in real life, she only rolls her eyes.

Eric has seen all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls for Donna, and enjoyed them. He is now waiting for the netflix revival. They both have big plans for it aka a weekend at home, bingwatching the show.

Another thing Eric does for her is support her feminist campaigns and go to her conferences, marchs and so on.

Hello dear Anon! 

Thanks for getting in touch... HA! Yes, I will talk to you all day long about this stuff. :D My headcanons shift all the time. I’m very prone to borrowing great ideas from other writers (and freely offer my own to be plundered, if anyone thinks they’re useful), and I tend to pick up on certain elements of “fanon”, as many of us do, and adopt it as my own. Not too long ago, for example, someone (pardon me, I can’t recall who it was...maybe @lajulie24 or @jediofgrace??) shared the notion of Han making an indulgent purchase of a flashy new speeder, as soon as he was solvent enough to do so (post-Endor). That was instant headcanon for me, because it just rang so true with my conception of the character. Like, of course he would do that! Yes! That idea is now paired with Kelleher’s headcanon about Han’s post-war career, which I just love, and have firmly taken as my own, too. So I’ve got a bit of a patchwork going on in my head where H/L are concerned, and I “upgrade” my ideas whenever someone in the fandom shares something that rings true with me.  

As for cover hogs...well! I like that old cliche about Corellians’ body temperatures being higher than the average, and I reckon Leia, being small, would be more susceptible to the cold. So I see it as more of an ongoing war over the climate controller. Leia gets cold and turns up the heat. A little while later, Han comes in, grouses about it being too damn hot, and turns it down. As soon as he’s otherwise occupied and Leia starts to shiver again, she turns it up. Han finds himself breaking a sweat while he’s watching a smashball game, growls about it and turns it down again. Finally (because I’m me and this is the way my smutty brain works), Han offers to heat her up in some other way if she will just please leave the damn thermostat alone. Leia agrees to this arrangement, trying hard not to give away the fact that this outcome suits her right down to the ground. They do this sort of thing on a regular basis and for such a long time that, eventually, the phrase “I’m cold” (coming from Leia) becomes a euphemism for “take me to bed, Hotshot”. ;) 

Here’s another head canon for you: I don’t see Leia as a workaholic per se, although I do think she often gets utterly immersed in her work to the point of forgetting to do anything else. But for me that’s because (a) she just cannot stand to be idle, (b) there’s always plenty of work to be done, and (c) for a while there’s really not much else for her to do that is meaningful and productive. She’s on the run, hiding out on Rebel bases, trying to stay alive and stay one step ahead of the Imps; busy taking down one government and restoring another. She has the capacity for singular focus, too, and she is good at prioritising and Getting Things Done. So, she works a lot. But when things settle down...when the war is over and there are no longer any lingering questions over her relationship with Han, I think she’d want to find some balance. And I think she’d enjoy being “occupied” with Han, at last part of every day, as well as making time to spend with Luke and learning about their legacy. 

Speaking of their legacy, I also imagine Leia would leave politics and stay out of government for some time after the war, mainly because public revelation of her familial connection to Darth Vader could be disastrous for her party/the New Republic. So, as much as it would hurt her to leave the NR in other hands, I think she would bow out (to protect it from any such fallout) and not return until the dust had settled (maybe 6-8 years down the road, or even longer). I think there would be great angst for her in this decision, but Han, Luke and Chewie would support her in it, as well as in her decision to go down the Jedi route, with her brother. 

I honestly don’t think they’ll have many, I’m almost certainly it would be one, and I love the idea of it to be a boy. I’m always having problems with baby names, but in DILYSI, that kid is named Robert for Bob, and everyone calls him “Rob” or “Robbie” as asked by him. Bob calls him jr.

But in other universes or so, I imagine they could have maybe two, maybe the lil couple, a boy and a girl. I’m sure the girl would be named after Kitty, even if only in a last name, and I’m sure Donna would have a strong and good relationship with her daughter. She would make sure to not make her mom’s mistakes.

As for Eric, I feel he is the parent you go for help and for everything. He isn’t as strict or bad-mood-reactional dad, and they know Eric will help them to sneak back in the house or not say anything to mom if they made a little prank or so, king of like Kitty.

He would have his most firm moments, his kids know better than to not listen to him with this happens. In moments like this, is when you can see how well balanced Donna and Eric are as parents, because Donna is the one who will make him see clearer and will even fight him if she thinks he is being unfair to the kids.
