I’m glad it’s Friday! 😂

Let’s call this:

Send 👍 👎 and mention a theory to ask whether I support it

Um, well. First off, let me make this very clear to everyone: I have never in my life believed that Undertaker is named “Cedric Ross”. Ross is a last name that someone randomly came up with, and I’ve seen it a lot in headcanon posts, but I have never ascribed to the idea. Instead, I believe the last name will end up being something longer, like Rosewood. I get my idea from Ivanhoe, set in AD1194, in which Cedric of Rotherwood hates King Richard, refuses to accept the king’s coin and prefers to barter, can’t stand innovation in agriculture or other industries, (temporarily) disowns his own son for following the king, keeps a jester as a slave because he likes the jokes, schemes with Robin of Locksley (Robin Hood), and makes funeral preparations for someone who isn’t even dead. It was initially published in 1819, the year 136649 most likely tried to destroy the reaper HQ. It’s also the year Queen Victoria was born. The name “Cedric” was invented by (Sir) Walter Scott for this character.

About the lockets, we have dates for all of them, though one is a bit questionable. Out of the seven lockets, five of them appear to be male names, so I’ll limit the analysis to those five:

Oliver A. — Nov. 13, 1840

Emile C. — Jun. 18, 1848

Harry E. — Oct. 7, 1851

Alex B. — Apr. 20, 1854

Gilbert D. — Mar. 1, 1862 (or 1884/1885. The locket has different years, depending on which reference you look at.)

None of them make sense for a reaper who didn’t even escape from/desert the reaper organization until at least 1819. Probably more like 1829/30 when he finally escaped. So, Undertaker’s canon death date (as a human) must be before 1819. A long time before 1819, actually, since he had been collecting souls for a “long time” before he went rogue on the organization. Recall that he feels like it was only recently that Frances/Francis was born, and she’s in her 30’s. So, a long time to a reaper is indeed a long time. And keep in mind Undertaker is strongly suggesting that he was present at her birth.... More reason to think he’s Cedric K. Ros—, the biological father of Frances/Francis... who looks so much like him that she’s even got his little baby hairs on the nape of her neck. Lizzie has them, too.

Edward canonically takes after his mother’s appearance, and she canonically takes after Cedric’s appearance. Yana-san has made that clear in a tweet. She’s also made it clear that Frances/Francis and Vincent are full siblings.

Hello, I’m well, thank you! Just had a week on vacation. ^^

Hmm, it’s not certain if supernatural beings can have children with humans. There are theories that Undertaker is Vincent’s father. If that’s true then there’s at least a way for a shinigami to reproduce (because UT was already a shinigami when Vincent was born). But even then, shinigamis are closer to humans than demons because they were human themselves before. So that doesn’t mean that demons can have children with humans, too. Demons may be able to take a human’s form but otherwise they’re quite different from humans so it may not be possible for them to have children with humans.

However, we know so little about all of this. How demons are created, their true nature, how they live or if there are some other supernatural beings... These are all topics that haven’t really been explained in detail and I feel like much about that won’t ever be truly revealed if it’s not significant for the story.

I found this in the notes for the prompt reblog.

Send 🍬 for a family headcanon

I headcanon that Othello was estranged from his own family, for whatever reason. Quite possibly due to his sexuality and their inability to accept him, but there could also be other reasons.
