I realised I have a lot of them… and all of them are either unashamed crack and/or ridiculously shippy. Or kinda porny, for that matter.
My biggest headcanon is easily that Sam and Jack totally got married in Vegas between seasons eight and nine of SG-1 when Sam was working at Area 51. Also, Janet got better after the time screwiness of Continuum – whose to say that the timeline is exactly the same?
For Warehouse 13, the Regents shipped HG Wells off to the Sanctuary at the end of season two cuz Helen and Tesla threw fits about being left in the dark about her debronzing. Will’s psychiatrist powers and Helen’s blood (if it does suppress John’s crazy – idk, the show retcons itself and I get the webisodes mixed up with the series proper all the time) made HG better. Myka, of course, was recruited by Helen and now she and HG hunt monsters instead of artefacts and have lots of sex.
Speaking of Sanctuary, The Five? Totally engaged in group sex. Multiple times. Also, Helen has slept with most important historical figures.
Rose and human!Ten had a rough start of their relationship until they grew a TARDIS and went on adventures in Pete’s World Universe.
Also, Christina de Souza and Sophie Devereaux are distantly related and Christina kinda idolises Sophie.
Seven dumped Chakotay shortly after arriving on Earth and she ends up hanging out with Janeway a lot. Depending on my mood, sex occurs.
Xena didn’t stay dead. Her and Gabrielle had lots of sex. (Okay, so my slash goggles are on tight enough to believe that the second sentence is canon for reals.)
Kim and Shego? They met up a few years after the series ended and hit it off. Kim and Ron’s breakup was mutual and took place shortly after graduating high school and going to separate colleges – turns out that long distance relationships were one of the few things not possible for a Possible.
Speaking of cartoons and college, Daria and Jane realised that their friendship ran a little deeper than either quite expected. College experimentation was enlightening and Jane revised her belief that she wasn’t bi.
Huh. I didn’t realise just how many of my headcanons involved femslash. It really shouldn’t have been that much of a surprise, though.

A bit of backstory: if you’ve missed the whole internet freakout (and a lot of people have), AJ Cook (JJ), as we all know, got the boot and AJ recently tweeted that she was back for Paget Brewster’s (Emily Prentiss) final episode. Paget has expressed that it’s all due to money, not a creative decision as is officially on the record, and I’m inclined to believe her. Unsurprisingly, I am super pissed about this casting change – one, sexist and two, Emily is my absolute favourite character on the show and JJ isn’t far behind. This isn’t like the previous casting changes on Criminal Minds – Lola Glaudini and Mandy Patinkin left of their own free will.
However, it is looking like they’re going to send Prentiss out with a bang – a crazy story arc starring her is brewing. And anything involving Prentiss is likely to get me to squiggle in my seat with joy and not just because she’s my favourite – she’s also one of the under utilised characters as she doesn’t have a dick is not A) Reid, B) Hotch, C) Morgan or even D) Rossi. So an entire arc devoted to Prentiss? Involving her untouched past (other than the abortion-in-Rome-at-fifteen thing) and why the polyglot daughter of an ambassador is working for the FBI (other than to spite her mother)? I am so in.
Because, honestly? Why is a polyglot who grew up in international politics working for the BAU? She is way overqualified – she could be working in any of the other, cooler, policing agencies. So it makes a hell of a lot more sense that used to work undercover for Interpol. And a guy she helped catch? Well, he’s free. And he’s out to get her so, at the end of this week’s episode, she grabbed her cat and is on the run. But where did she run to?
But the bigger question remains – is Emily going to survive the season? I’m unbelievably excited (and terrified) about it – I think this is the first time when I’ve been watching a show where I don’t know the character’s fate. Either it’s obvious that they’re going to live – plot armour is a wonderful thing – or I’m catching up on old tv and have accidentally spoiled myself (every. single. time).
And Criminal Minds is the sort of show that would cheerfully murder off one of the main characters, and now it’s hit the six season and, well, the quality of the scripts has been declining.
So, yeah, I’m both pumped and terrified of the rest of the season – especially since Joe Mantegna tweeted that episode 618 is even more mindblowing than the 100th episode – you know, the one where Haley, the ex-wife, gets murdered while the son is in the house? And Hotch has his epic breakdown over Haley’s body? Yeah. (Or maybe he was talking about episode 500, where Hotch gets stabbed and probably raped by the unsub mentioned above – either way, intense!)
Unrelated, but Emily got a cat! A black cat named Sergio! So adorable – and, hee, way to play up on the Emily the Strange connection. My inner teen goth appreciates it.

Okay, maybe I’m a little obsessed. But it’s John/Helen! That makes it justified, right?
So now, not only does my twitter pic have John and Helen being shippy (from that same scene, even), I have given up sleep to ensure that my iPod is plastered in the Sanctuary love. And, oh god, to make matters worse, what did I set my netbook’s background to last month? The Sanctuary logo. I had even gone so far to install a black (and pink – closest I could get to red) theme so that it didn’t clash with the background.
Okay, so I am really obsessed.
This will only last a little awhile, right?
ETA: So, yeah, I woke up this morning and decided to fix the lopsidedness of the lock screen. That and the fact that I typed in the quote wrong (John does not say have) really bugged me. And the font! I had previously used the font for twitter display pic and, well, that kinda bothered me too. Font overuse is kinda annoying, but mostly it was my brain going ‘but you used that font for Helen so why is John using it?’ Illogical, yes, but there you have it.
So now John’s speech is in a Jane Austen font I must have stolen from somewhere god knows when. Tee hee.
Hmm, my really crappy clonestamp clouds are rather obvious when you take away the foreground stuff, hey? Oh well – it looks fine on the iPod.

So I have this crazy Sanctuary theory which, well, probably isn’t all that crazy and, equally probably, has already been expounded in great detail before. But, hey, I don’t remember reading any LJ posts about it (though I don’t doubt that there are some out there), so I figure I’m going to blog about it anyway. Cuz I’m cool like that.
Well, cool in a world in which analysing a sci-fi show on a Friday night is the thing to do. In essence, not this world.
Anyhow, tonight’s topic is about Helen. Because, well, this is me and since when do I about Sanctuary and leave out Helen? And, since I looove Helen torture, I’mma gunna talk about how her sanity is, well, suspect. Not too surprising there – she is, as she snippily informed Will last week, 159 years old. Kiiinda twice as long as the average human lifespan there. Someone like that, well, they’ve got to have some issues and people dying undoubtably plays no small part.
Which brings me to my point – Helen Magnus, despite her asskicking HBIC ways, is still clinging onto her Oxford days. The Five in particular. They were (and are), after her all, her closet friends. Her four boys, and her father, were her confidants, her partners in crime, her entire world. I suppose, then, it makes perfect sense why she has modelled all of her current acquaintances off of her school friends.
No really, she did. And more than just Will, who is obviously James successor. Both men possess keen powers of observation and a strong loyalty to Helen (James even going so far as to run Helen’s Sanctuary network with her – the three other members of the Five all went their own ways, as far as we know). Both, in short, are her right hand. Except, of course, when John and Ashley are around.
From that, one can easily deduce who I figure John’s modern day replacement is – his own daughter, Ashley. Both John and Ashley prefer being Helen’s weapon – they gleefully follow along in her path and take out anyone that she desires. Both are the closest to Helen and are the ones Helen most desperately loves.
Tesla’s successor? Well, who else but the werewolf Henry? I mean, c’mon, vampire, werewolf, that says it all. The obvious technological genius really is too obvious to further point out. Not to mention that the two are so very eager to please Helen… well, when Tesla isn’t off trying to conquer the world.
And Kate… the new girl, Kate. The one we don’t know much about, other than that she’s pretty cocky and has a sordid past. She’s the sneaky one, the go to girl when things start to get a little… illegal. Sounds kinda like our bank robbing friend Nigel Griffin, eh? Yeah, I thought so too.
So, yeah, I know what you’re thinking. How does Biggie fit into this? I mean, really, I know that you all expect me to at least know how to add – modern day Helen does hang out with one more person than the Victorian Five. Which is why, quite simply, the Big Guy is analogue to Helen’s father.
No, really, stop looking at me like that! Who helps Helen with her medical work? The one who quietly supports her and is willing to tell her how it is without raising her hackles? Yeah, the Big Guy. Totally her modern dad.
So there you have it – Helen’s sanity? Clinging on by a thread.
Either that, or mine is.

For some reason, the Lost Girl fandom has, at least on twitter, taken to calling the show the new Buffy. Now, we all know my feelings about Joss Whedon and Buffy, so I’ m clearly not going to be linking the series back to teenage cheerleaders. To me? Lost Girl reminds me a lot of Xena.
No really, stick with me here! Both series star a tall, dark haired woman in her late twenties/early thirties haunted by her violent past. On their current quest for redemption (mostly just beating up and/or outsmarting the monster of the week), they are accompanied by an incessantly perky girl who latched onto the heroine and, against the advice of said heroine, refused to leave. And the dynamics between Bo and Kenzi are remarkably Xena and Gabrielle like (well, minus the subtext, which is hilarious since Bo really is bi) – friendly bickering, cuddles and the usual BFF behaviour runs rampant. Sure, Bo and Kenzi are stationary in not-Toronto (and don’t have an awesome horse), but it is there! Bo’s brilliant with weapons (particularly the pointy kind) and Kenzi is just fucking about with them, y’know, like Gabrielle did back before she got that stick.
And the tone of the show! The irreverent humour, the ability to make fun of itself, the campy fantasy shtick, the iffy special effects… but most of all, they’re both shows about women kicking ass. With sharp, pointy objects and preternatural abilities.
But, yeah, that’s about where the similarities end. Xena simply doesn’t haven’t the cast size to appropriately further the character comparison… unless we want to call Ares Dyson. Which would make, what, Callisto Lauren? Yeah, you can see why that doesn’t work. But that’s all good – as much as I love Xena, I prefer my 2.0 versions to be full of changes.
(And, since I can’t resist… Xena > Buffy guys. From what I hear, one borrowed from the other and, well, guess which one came first?)
