Shit dude, can't really have hot takes when the famdom is so small you know? But, let me think. Hmm...

I believe, —and this is something I just feel, it's okay if you don't agree— an issue that sometimes I see are people making The Onceler less heavy for his actions? Yes, what happened was a tragedy, and he was manipulated at a point, but he was an adult. He chose this, he crafted this destiny. Therefore, I don't think if, let's say— Norma and Onceler were to ever meet again in their seniority, she would be open to forgive him THAT quickly. Seeing him take real accountability, and still acknowledge that he cannot fix the past, what he did, and that the consequences are here for him to deal with are what makes her forgive him.

Another thing I already mentioned in another ask is my disagreement about The Lorax being involved with the pair. I don't think he would— sorry.

For example:

Onceler: hey did to now *male celebrity* is coming here for some time....wow he's so hot... Like I would eh haha

Norma: Wait...never mind....OMGSH YESS I HAD SUCH A BIG CRUSH ON HIM!!

Onceler: WELL GUESS WHAT,WE ALL HAD A BIG CRUSH ON *MALE CELEBRITY* GET IN LINE!!!

Norma: ...what

Onceler: what what is it??...OH WAIT I DIDN'T MEAN...IT'S JUST THAT-I'M GONNA GO NOW

Norma: wait- what the...And he's gone... I won't see him any differently...IF HE JUST TELLS ME THAT HE'S BISEXUAL!!

I raise you one better, an intense tango. Norma comes to his office trying to break Once-ler out of his greed, and barges in with all of these incriminatory questions, only for him to just simply stand up from his desk, make his recorder play a song and distracts her with a dance, while she argues and he throws counterarguments as he persuades her about the past and how much he misses it all. Norma does too, but she feels like while the emotion is honest, the intention isn't. It's manipulation, but they're drawn together into this magnetism.

They end the dance with a kiss, and the arguing is over after an unsatisfying resolution, but Norma can't help but feel that she just did a whole bunch of nothing. They lock eyes, remembering for a second all they lost. She separates, hugs herself. Tells him that she's had enough, that she shouldn't interrupt him with his duties.

“I'll be waiting for you back home.”

She turns, and disappears the moment she goes behind that door and closes it.

Onceler takes a seat, sighs, runs his hand through his hair. He very much missed those moments. For a mere instance they had it, but there's no way back.

For Norma, for Onceler, and for the forest of truffula trees. The ending is near.

To Onceler, there's no return, he has to maintain a company, he's tied.

Norma is tied to the Onceler, for reasons she doesn't know yet.

•Norma loves all Latin music and sometimes she starts dancing cumbias with Once-ler

•Onceler always wants to avoid the problems that Norma may cause

•Norma sometimes gets playful with him, although she ends up intimidating him ; ;

•Tall bisexual, short bisexual :]

(Sorry my English is terrible, but those are my Normaler headcanons ^^)

(Lo siento mi inglés es un poco malo, pero esos fueron mis headcanons de Normaler ^^)

(¡No te preocupes! Encuentro tu inglés bastante bueno de hecho ;) ! )

The second hc is interesting... first he tries to avoid problems for someone else, but judging how the plot goes, his morals change. No longer caring if someone else gets in trouble (let's say, the animals, trees, etc.) and that includes Norma. Considering he likely ignored her a lot as Greedler.... But most importantly, a lack of caring about himself.

Haha! Now this sounds threatening... Let's see. I'm going to try and mention headcanons I haven't said before.

1. I definitely believe that after the events of the movie, somehow Norma and The Onceler reunited and gave each other another chance. Even if there's the slimmest chance of not working it out, they have to be around each other a lot, mostly for the well-being of Ted!

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

2. Now, back to the "past". I think Normaler is a lot like the main couple of Hairspray. Conventionally attractive skinny guy x adorable chubby girl! Norma has a lot of self-issues around her figure, and sometimes doesn't believe it when The Onceler says that he loves her the way she is, but when the anxiety stops spiking up... Norma finds it so refreshing and even soothing to find a guy like The Onceler to like her more than just her appearance.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

3. Norma constantly makes fun of The Onceler's country mannerisms. His speech, habits, etc. But it's not to mock him! She actually finds it adorable. She would often compare him to the attractive protagonists of country movies and say he's better.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

4. Norma has horrible reflexes, and by horrible I mean, amazing ones. One time The Onceler tried to playfully scare her and all he received in return was a punch in the face. Of course, she apologized after, but The Onceler essentially blamed himself for causing this event.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

5. Height difference comes with its perks and disadvantages. Norma once tried tickling The Onceler and it ended up wrong. His elbow hit her in the face. (I guess they're hand in hand now!) Seeing her tear up out of pain was too horrible. It's like stepping on your puppy's paw! He's never forgave himself for that.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

6. The Onceler is a playful asshole, so he often saw Norma struggling to reach something and instead of helping at first, he instead makes it go higher.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

7. Norma has the pants in the relationship, but this is common knowledge at this point, right? When Norma gets mad, it's like the whole planet is shaking and the ground is breaking. You do NOT want to make this woman mad. Even Onceler in his Greedler era was cautious and did his best to hide the mess he's done.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

8. Onceler loved to spoil Norma so much, and it's usually through food and serenades. When he turned rich, this translated through all sorts of items... clothes, perfumes, etc.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

9. One of Norma's biggest dreams was to travel the world, and The Onceler was once a traveler before arriving to Greenville, so they share that passion. They promised themselves to travel the world, especially after marriage, but that never became a thing after the events of the movie happened and Onceler isolated himself. Even without him, Norma never got to accomplish this, because then the wall around now-called "Thneedville" became a thing. Hopefully once they reunite as cute grandparents they get to fulfill that dream!

10. Older Normaler are passionate more than ever about nature, and with the help of Audrey and Ted, they start this project about making a greenhouse! All sorts of flowers, fruits and vegetables are in there! Sometimes The Lorax visits.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

11. Norma likes to nickname The Onceler a lot... And it's not Oncie! From the classic "Once" we go to "cowboy" "country-boy" "rockstar", "daddy long-legs" and so on.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

12. Both of these idiots are incredibly strong. We've seen The Onceler in the movie, and a bit of Norma in her old age! Onceler used to underestimate Norma's strength due to her size (reasonable) but she constantly proves him wrong by tackling him to the ground and winning arm wrestlings with him always.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

13. The Onceler absolutely adores Norma's beauty mark.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

14. The Onceler has this habit of humming everything even without music, especially when concentrated and Norma thinks it's the sweetest thing.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

15. Piggybacks. Always. It started as a friendly request of Norma so she could reach for truffula fruit in the valley, but it ended up being more fun than expected.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

16. She's a dancer at heart. He's a musician, what's there more to say? Helen's actual love for disco is tied to them, and Helen used to attend a lot of roller disco events! Ted's skateboard skills and bike skills come from her... (Norma and Helen) And I like to think Ted is a bit of a tech/inventor genius, and that certainly comes from The Onceler.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

17. The Onceler has enough strength on his arm to make Norma casually hold herself with her legs and go down like a possum.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

18. I like to think that their attraction was accidental and that the tension just built up out of the fact they're very sarcastic, witty and awkward individuals.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

19. In any sort of ground that Norma can skate in, that's her main way of transportation around The Onceler to actually share the same speed! Those long legs are too fast! And Onceler, always, is so enamored of the way she gracefully swirls and moves.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

20. The Onceler at first had a really rough time with his money and food. So Norma a lot of times actually snuck out food out of the diner she worked at and had lunch and breakfast with him together. If she had extra money to actually buy something for herself (most money was to pay the bills and help her mother) she'd use it instead to buy cans and food for The Onceler. Seeing his happiness and well-being was the best she could've had at the moment. Momentarily, eventually The Onceler told her to stop doing this out of guilt of what he knew of her situation at home! Plus, the thneed business was going to soon boom in.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

21. The Onceler doesn't hate bell-bottoms for no reason. He had to witness Norma using them because they were all in and she tripped while rollerskating, and the results weren't pretty. Before that, he even considered wearing them, but then it turned into somewhat a very irrational hatred.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ☘️ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

Aw man, these couple of days have been low on me, so I've been a little dry in a general aspect, but we'll see.

The Onceler likes to surprise Norma with random tunes, thus he starts to do his very best to learn what are Norma's favorite songs for him to play to her! Oftentimes he asks her cautiously to not have suspicions, but after a while of doing it repeatedly successfully surprising the girl, Norma figured out on her own his strategy. Still! That doesn't mean she doesn't like it!

Can't put my finger on why, but those two seem to be the type to roll over hills and play with kites and that be their idea of a date.

This is my Norma and I apply the same qualities I have on her. Norma suffers of strawberry legs. They're dots that appear sometimes on your legs, thighs, buttocks, etc. Norma has them on her thighs and they look like freckles in a way! She hates them, but Onceler finds them endearing and compares them to his own freckles!

Norma misses Onceler's freckles when the winter comes. In case you didn't know, freckles tend to appear the most in higher heat temperatures!

Despite the clumsy appearance, The Onceler has had a lengthy record of injuries back at the barn and in his previous job. Therefore he knows how to treat them rather good on his own. He once used a thneed to help Norma with a nasty bruise with a lot of things in his med kit and he wrapped it around her leg like a gauze!

People who knew Helen would never believe that she grew up from parents that had not the best care for hygiene. Onceler was a farm boy, Norma was always falling and tripping on the ground. He was dirty from pastry flour, she was accidentally with hamburger grease stains on her uniform's skirt. Helen grew up in a restrictively clean environment than these two did (but of course, Normaler's had actual air.) ending up in a woman with a extreme dislike for stains and dirt.

Norma didn't give birth to her child alone. She was surrounded by friends. Normaler's relationship got so BAD by the end of Onceler's career that they were distanced enough for people to doubt their unity together. Norma decided to lie that they broke up years ago for the greater good of her daughter. Norma didn't want for Helen to go through undeserved judgement from lousy decisions of her father. But allegations were always there by the end of the day.

Onceler always wanted to be a father in a way to honor his own. We know how this ends.

Norma never wanted to repeat the same steps of her mother. Being a single mother with her child, but here she was, using the same lies her mother used to tell her about her father now to Helen.
