And since this is a Work-in-Progress like most headcanons, i’ll only unveil some of them like i did with Spike and his relationship with Thorax and Ember, Ocellus, Wallflower, Majesty and the Shadowbolts. This time we’ll be focusing on the questionably handsome Hoo’Far.
Hoo’Far is by far the entertaining thing in the episode he debuted in (at least in my opinion). Sure, he came out of nowhere. But, i’m glad he did because at least there’s something to focus on other than two lesbians arguing over relatively decent decisions. Now, i can go all out about discussing how questionably attractive Friendship is Magic’s recent male casts are (admit it, you thought the same to the girls in EqG) considering that says something about an argument Bronies have for the lack of male characters. Anyway, what i’m trying to say is some of these dudes are basically husband material, Thorax is the fabulous adorkable pacifist king, Sunburst is the hot nerd who is oblivious to that and Capper is basically has no need for an explanation. Plus he’s a cat. So, das cool.
On to the headcanon!
In this headcanon, Hoo’Far is a prince (if you can’t tell by the title). He is the son of the Saddle Arabian king (not this guy) and has a habit of not wanting to do his royal duties and instead wants to travel the world. Basically, he’s sort of a Disney Princess. So, he tends to sneak out of the kingdom at night and travel around in the desert, avoiding to be caught by the guards who are ordered to patrol the area in case the poor guy pulls of an Aladdin and getting into shady trouble with a local band of thieves. Which he does.
So, Hoo’Far joins the thieves and give him a treasure that allows him to control sand and go on a rampage onto nearby towns and steal some loot before returning back to their cave. Hoo’Far doesn’t want to stay for too long and tells the thieves they got what they wanted and he needs to go. But the thieves (who now knew that he is the prince) persuade him to stay for a little while and to get them to sneak into the palace and to crash an upcoming party about some magical treasure that the saddle Arabians have. Hoo’Far is aware that this won’t end well considering that his dad would be a hella pissed if he finds out and considereing that he is in the process of being cornered by the thieves and threatening him with their swords (insert gay joke), he accepts.
So, on the day of the party, the thieves crashed in through a passage way Hoo’Far knows. During the struggle, Hoo’Far sees one of the thieves is about to slash a child into pieces and this causes him to turn against the thieves and use the sand manipulating artifact (he forgot he has) to pin the other thieves down. In the process, the wind blows off his disguise and gets exposed in front of the whole kingdom, and his dad. Ashamed that he betrayed his people, Hoo’Far throws a smoke bomb (sand bomb?) and escape the scene, taking the magical treasure with him since the thing would only attract troublemakers and does not want his kingdom to be in ruin because of it. So, he spends the rest of his life as a lone traveler, offering to help whenever he crosses paths with other travelers and continuing his life of crime by stealing things that are needed on his travels. He is known in villages as The Prince of Thieves, due to the events happened in the party and making him some form of an urban legend.
And then, shenanigans! Hoo’Far comes across Daring Do and offers to help her steal a treasure from her ex, Ahuizotl (Daring and Ahui have a complicated marriage in my headcanon) and backstabs her in order to sell the treasure to get himself some money. He comes across Autumn Blaze when she finds his body on a stream nearby her village, the two get together, he stops a local monster, and leaves spreading more word about the Thief Prince.
And that’s my headcanon for Hoo’Far. Pretty sure the inspiration came from me remembering the fact that Aladdin is getting a reboot. And if there’s any questions to whom i’m shipping him with, it’s not Trixie. Fanart of him with Saffron is kinda cute.
