yhs headcanons !!

you can send asks for any headcanon you like, keep in mind this is only for the characters not the irl people !!

this is also for the versions with grian & taurtis only, as i haven't watched the newer ones & dont actually know the characters well enough to understand any references that would be used or anything & i dont want to get the tagging wrong

this blog is run by @r4dpup

i run it by myself, so please know that it won't be updated constantly (i post however many asks i get, but they are all scheduled to be [any hour:20.] )

anyways, have fun with it !!

(also yes, this is inspired heavily by oddly-specific-hermit-headcanons)

please keep in mind i havent actually finished yhs & i havent watched it in a hot minute ngl. i genuinely forget whats canon half the time lmao

i might also refuse certain headcanons !! im putting this in place after posting 2 that i heavily disagree with and will be making that decision in the future more as well.

suffice to say, when the boys were legally allowed to drink they were not light weights..

and you would think Paul Blart would kinda, yknow, crash the party and make everyone go home, but no. Most likely if Paul Blart was there he was getting a drink of the spiked punch or in a bush with a red solo cup watching.

Buckle up, it's a long one. We'll be starting with his father!

Stanley Gladiator actually pops up in both Yandere Highschool and Yandere (Preschool) a few times. From the little we see of him, he appears to be permissive, indulgent, and cowardly, and adores him son deeply. This, I think, is where many of Sam's problems come from! Stanley's extremely permissive parenting and constant affirmation that Sam is special, shown in how he backs Sam up when he's ARGUING WITH THE PRINCIPAL, has instilled in Sam the belief he's both nearly always right, and if anyone has a problem with him that's a THEM problem, not his fault!

In Yandere Preschool, it's shown he gets Sam basically whatever he wants, his room is HUGE and full of toys, he got Sam his bunny hat and apparently let him eat carrots only for about 2 straight months. A parent who always defends and affirms, and never disciplines their child often makes the child abrasive, shy, and entitled. Sam is all of these things. It's seen Stanley tries to be a good father, even introducing him to Taurtis as a child because he has no friends. However, Stanley has ultimately failed Sam as a father, enabling him and teaching him he's always good, can have whatever he wants, and that it's okay to push people around. Sam was taught there are no consequences to his actions.

Secondly, I want to talk about Sam's mother, who we never see or learn the name of. However, Sam calls her multiple times across the series, mostly to affirm that he's safe. She's implied to be protective, strict, and mentally unstable. She doesn't seem to live with them, as shown in Yandere Preschool, but Stanley still speaks of her fondly, so they clearly aren't divorced (hence my theory she's in a mental ward, as Sam only ever calls her) Sam clearly has a bit more fear of his mother, and is somewhat close with her, but she's largely out of the picture.

Also, his parents let their 16 year old son LIVE ALONE soo...

Anyways, the total lack of rules, discipline, and aversion of any outside consequences has led Sam to believe he's invincible and can effectively do no wrong. He deserves whatever he wants, because he's special and precious and "darling" as his father often says. Sam's father has even referred to Sam's friends as being someone lesser and more akin to toys for Sam, while simultaneously letting Sam treat him the same way, which I also think plays into Sam's delusions, but that's another essay.

Anyways, enjoy! If anyone has any thoughts PLEASE comment or something the hyperfixtation is hitting hard.

Something about it.. he's just the opposite of it. Like I imagine bunny-hybrid sam wasn't friendly about gs wings, but human sam was like 'ok he's an avian so what. Your wings are gonna stop you from joining the mafia as an undercover police officer are they?'

So we know Tokyosoul deals w multiverse/multiple timelines, ie The versions of the main trio we see in the last few episodes that reflect kind of who they were before everything™️ — I -> HEADCANON <- those versions (and similar) exist in MANY other timelines, which all split off into things like cannibal murder, moncher high school, Evo into hermitcraft etc.

It’s why the characters (Grian specifically , just because he has more varied content) act so differently in those other universes; it’s because they ARE different versions of themselves…. If that makes sense

I also believe that the version of trio that ended up in The Tokyosoul house fell into the void and were sorta ricocheted into different timelines. IMO Sam was sent into the Tokyosoul reboot/season 2(?) and then into the YHS reboot with the other cast and all that because of the idea that he’d “destroy many timelines” (said by cuthulu/igbar) and potentially needs keeping in check OR is being monitored likely by watchers, testing if he will in fact destroy many timelines

It’s like a sort of purgatory, maybe he’ll get out on good behaviour, maybe he’s being tormented forever

I also like to think the Grian we see in Tokyosoul becomes Principal G in moncher high school because….. they’re surprisingly similar in personality

Okay this was all for fun don’t JUMP ME heavy yhs analysers please

(sorry)

IDK if this is just ACTUAL canon or if I made it up, but Sam's mother is in a psych ward. His father committed her, she did NOT to willingly, and she's long-term but not permanent. When Sam says "I'm not going back there (psych ward) again!" In YHS during Taurtis 2 arc, I believe he's referring to the one his mother is in, not that he's been admitted himself. I imagine that'd be pretty traumatic place and situation for a teenager. While his general jerkery can most be attributed to his EXTREMELY enabling father who let him eat only carrots and have a huge room and gives him literally anything, and Taurtis being his goofy little self, and their whole town, I find it very hard to believe Sam's mental state is fully from Nurture.

And element of nature is surely involved.

Okami, Rowan, and Silly were planted by the FBI or smth in their town all the way back in Yandere Preschool, and the reason they're the only adults that are somewhat kind and caring is because they watched all the kids grow up, and they played with Silly and babysat her when she was little (:

Later, the whole family is assigned specifically to the boys to keep an eye on them, as they're young but extremely volatile.

I think we can all admit Grian is REALLY morally iffy for the last 3/4 of YHS and TS, and I think he'd become a cop. Why?

He clearly enjoys taking bad people down, happy to threaten Yuki, Sam, and pretty much anyone as long as he feels safe to do so.

He has the mental fortitude to casually kill someone, and will cut random people down to do so (TS hospital)

He has a strong sense of justice but he himself is morally dubious.

He HATES being controlled and threatened, trapped in an extremely toxic environment everyone pretends is normal, and lashes out because of it.

he enjoys being in power both to protect himself and because he relishes putting other in their place that look down on him.

Let's be real, he'll never have enough money or good enough grades to go to collage or ever move out ):
