Laika Headcanons
I know i post a lot about laika and have said a lot of these to my friends already but I dont care. Here are my headcannons about laika chars and many of them take place in an au world where they know each other and are friends. (Also forgive me i only saw missing link 2 days ago so not many headcanons for them)
- Wybie often fixes his bike when it has problems, and he actually made it from 2 different broken bikes by using the different parts to make one of them working. When he grows up he becomes a mechanic.
- Eggs and Wybie become VERY great friends due to them both having interests in building and making things.
- Coraline and Winnie are also great friends! Coraline likes to be an actor in Winnie’s little shows sometimes, and then afterwards they often go out exploring on some adventure together in the woods.
- Winnie sews clothes very well and often makes Eggs and Coraline awesome outfits.
- Coraline HATES sewing after her experiences with the other mother. She also hates rats and mice because of that. And while she still hates spiders, the other mother did not ruin her obession over bugs.
- When Coraline grows older she becomes a cat lady and adopts a bunch of cats.
- Eggs is FACINATED by human, nonboxtroll instruments. One day when the kids are going to some concert, eggs is like, “….Whats a concert?” So they take them to see and they lose their absolute mind. Eggs and fish always made music machines but the idea of having concerts where people gather to celebrate music is amazing.
- LGBT headcannons- Eggs is nonbinary, and uses they/them and he/him pronouns. Coraline and Winnie are lesbians. Norman, Lionel and Susan are gay. Kubo and Neil are Bisexual.
- After Lionel and Susan do their research and adventures on legends and myths, I think it’d be hilarious if Lionel became a biology teacher and Susan was the ta at the Laika kid’s school. Coraline immedietely sees that “…Thats bigfoot” and everyone in the class stares a bit at first but Lionel is like “ :) :) Nah Mr. Susan Link isnt bigfoot. Hes just my teachers assistant!…… Dont you look into this.” The kids eventually stop caring because Susan is an amazing TA and really good with kids.
- On that note I think it’d be funny if Ms. Fortnight became a world history teacher and would be kind of a rival teacher with Lionel. She’s SUPER straight to the point but super good at teaching and making it interesting.
- Norman draws. He started off drawing zombies but then he started drawing people by drawing his friends.
- Eggs and Winnie- despite the ending of the boxtrolls- don’t hate cheese! Eggs actually likes it a lot and is pretty impressed with how many different kinds people have made.
- Eggs can get very nervous and overwhelmed in busy places. They rub the creases of their box when they get really nervous and just doing something with hands helps to distract a bit.
- Kubo teaches Eggs how to play guitar. Eggs, being facinated with music, is very eager to learn every new instrument he sees. Kubo is pretty chill and was pretty happy to see Eggs super excited and agreed to teach em.
- The laika kids often have sleepovers. Norman always brings horror movies. Coraline adores horror movies but gets bored if theres no action or adventure in one for a long time. Eggs gets very spooked at them.
- The first time Eggs came over to Coraline’s house, they saw that Cor had layed out a box for The Cat. Eggs immedietely went and sat in the box.
- Eggs had never tried candy before. And when the kids found out they gave Eggs some skittles. So now Eggs likes Skittles.
- Eggs hates baths and haircuts.
