empires season 2 headcannons !1
Pirate Joe regularly slept over at Sanctuary while he didn't have his crew, due to being unused to sleeping alone. He started out doing this without Sausage's knowledge, but he eventually found out and gave Joe his own guest room.
Shelby's grandma used to be an extremely powerful witch, though she never told her granddaughter. Grandma's reputation and Shelby's sheer magical power were two of the things that allowed Shelby to stay in the Academy despite her bad grades.
Scott's eye can see magic, constantly, so when going to especially magical locations he brings different eyepatches as to not be blinded.
Katherine's reputation began to improve after she began being a monster hunter (which was an open secret within Glimmer Grove), as her people started seeing her less like a princess who cared little about their struggles and more like a person who'd get her hands dirty to help her people. However, even with all the work Katherine puts into helping Glimmer Grove, both as a monster hunter and as a princess, a part of her people continues to blame her for the curse.
Speaking of monster hunters, the only people who don't know Katherine is one are her parents- mostly because nobody wants them to make her stop (Glimmer Grove has had a massive monster attack decrease ever since she started).
The Olipelago's citizens tend to be travelling artists who hear about it from word of mouth, citizens constantly leave and then come back (or don't), so sometimes the Olipelago will be packed full of people, sometimes it'll just be Oli.
Empires False is very well liked in Cogsmeade. She appeared one day, built a house because she didn't know what else to do, and the citizens liked it so they made her their Architect. Cogsmeade was just a small mining town before False made it an empire.
Oli is a shapeshifter in Empires!! after he went back to the overworld from the end, he discovered he could shift into his previous afterlife forms. tho when shifting into his bee form he discovered his wings were burned almost completely off, so he can't exactly fly with them.
Jimmy was given wings by the fae.
Everyone in Tumble Town assumed the Sheriff had joined a cult when he started working for the fae (he pretty much did).
