So I had an idea (for a fic) which is that Megamind’s parents managed to put themselves into stasis – at some point in time (before, during or after the movie’s plotline) their craft is discovered orbiting an outer planet. They’re of course dismayed that they were revived too late to be there for their son – but they bond with him, and teach him, Minion and Wayne as much as they can about their homeworlds. Thoughts?

Ah, thank you for the prompt! This could be a really interesting story–and it would definitely be a very different story depending on when they arrived. Having them arrive there while he’s still Evil Overlord would be very angsty, while a storyline in which they arrived after the events of the movie would be more light.

And since my headcanon for the M’ega includes kidnapping as a proposal, having them arrive actually *during* the Metro Man day kidnapping could potentially be hilarious.

What she says: I’m fine.

What she means: Megamind didn’t hear his parents’ last words but they said “You are destined for- [great things],” as indicated by the movement of his father’s mouth and through the movie he does great things, even if they were bad because that’s what his destiny was to him and he just wanted to make his parents proud so they smile down on him from Evil Heaven

There is a version of that scene in which his father audibly says “You are destined for greatness.”

Megamind Love Fest || Day 5: Quiet Morning

Pairing: Megamind’s Mother/Megamind’s Father (Cy/Novana)

Setting: pre-movie

—–

It was quiet. It felt strange. Cy lay in bed, not used to the quiet. Not this early in the morning. His partner, Novana, lay in their bed with him. Their son, a newborn who they had yet to name aside from calling him Star Child, lay between them. Cy tried to stay still, quiet, not wanting to ruin the moment. He almost wished Star Child would cry, just so he had the perfect excuse to get up and do something.

He looked from the infant to Novana, her scrunched up face made a concerned expression form on his. He reached over and traced a pattern on her shoulder, resting his forehead against hers as he began making soothing noises that sounded foreign to an outsider but was common between them. He watched, with each gentle purr and soothing coo, as her face lightened in it’s pain expression. When she was calm, he no longer felt the need to make the noises, as he calmed as well. His brown eyes shifted to Star Child, who began to make coos in his sleep in a similar manner to himself.

“Little Star.. Little Star..” His soft voice, cracking because he wasn’t used to speaking to anyone in the low voice he was currently using. “You are a bright Star..” He said, his voice cracking as he felt tears come to his eyes. Their son was so beautiful, just like his mother, and it brought him to tears because of how they lit up his life so there were no shadows.

“Are you crying over our son again?” Came the angelithic voice of his Novana, her green eyes sleepily blinking at him.

“Yes..” He admitted, smiling at her as he rested his forehead against her again.

Novana’s lips became a soft smile, her eyes brightening up. “You are impossible..” Her hand touched his face, her thumb wiping away the tears that formed and were falling.

“You love me, you know you do.” He said, the volume of his voice caused Star Child to open his bright green eyes and look up at him, not crying, but rather curious. “Oh, bright Star.. I’m sorry.” He looked to the baby, still clinging to Novana’s breast, but didn’t cry.

They were all awake, but still the early morning was quiet.

Megamind’s parents names

[ @displacerghost​ asked me about my headcanons for Megamind’s parents’ names ]


Vtyr (megamind’s father)

Lyrahna (megamind’s mother)

‘Vtyr’ is fairly popular name, and an actual word, means something like “victory through optimism”

‘Lyrah’ isn’t an actual word in M’ega; it was the name of a famous historical mathematician, and in modern times it’s often invoked when referring to mathematical perfection. (similar to the way ‘shakespeare’ is invoked when talking about writing talent)

‘ahna’ means “skies”

The translation of ‘Lyrahna’ would be something like “mathematical perfection skies” or, more poetically, “heavenly mathematical perfection”.
