Phew! That was tougher than I thought! I tried to get a good mix of questions without going into spoiler territory. If you’ve got a question you’d like answered, just leave it in the comments, and I’ll get to as many as I can. 🙂
I know this is a horrible question, but could Ichabod just…carve a better expression? That’d be a great prank if it could be undone and not harm him.
What is the origin behind Ichabod’s head? How did he become like that?
I re-read the series again yesterday trying to get my fix while waiting for the next update (what can I say, I’m a fan of pumpkins and sci-fi/fantasy stories) and I was thinking that if I had been in Ellie’s shoes when Ichabod offered to answer her questions in the beginning, I would have had soooo many stupid things to ask. And no I don’t expect any answers really, especially since you’ve already done two of these before you even started over on Webtoon (which is where i found this), i’m just saying this is all the stuff that i would have been wanting to ask if I were in that situation, and then plenty of questions that came up after reading the whole series twice
1- obviously i would have asked the same first question she did “is your head really a pumpkin, or is it a mask?” cuz that’s the most astonishing thing at that moment
2 – Were you born that way, or did it happen later in life? Because now i’m wondering if his parents have pumpkin heads too, and i can just picture little ichabod running around and that’s sooooo darn cute!
3 – How old is he? is he immortal?
4 – How old is Ellie, now that i think of it…
5 – How does he have such great fashion sense? he dresses so sharply! Okay fine, I’m just big on vests, but still!
6 – Can he get a headache, and if so, can he take anything for it, since he doesn’t eat?? I guess he’d have to get an IV of something huh?
7 – If he wasn’t born that way, was it a curse? was it magic that saved his life when someone tried to kill him? OMG did someone cut his head off on halloween and some sorcerer/witch person tried to save him and the only thing on hand was a jackolantern? O.O
8 – does he have/had siblings?
9 – some of these questions tie together like the age/immortality one, the born vs later in life one, cuz the answers to those could lead to another question like… did he have a family of his own already? a wife and kids, that sort of thing?
10 – how did he get into the paranormal investigation career? Was his Dad one too? Did someone train him? has he always been one?
11 – What was he like when he was learning to use the powers Ellie is now learning? Was he a natural? Did he learn quickly?
12 – Did he ever try any other types of work or hobbies? does he even have hobbies? like bowling or.. collecting things?
13 – Does he like Halloween or does it bug him?
14 – Does he dress up extra for halloween? that would be interesting
15 – this one is weird but it’s seriously bugging me… so jackolanterns are hollow, and that’s his head… if you stuck something in one of the holes, like… i don’t know, a stick or your finger, would he feel it? would it be uncomfortable? would it feel like if someone stuck a stick or a finger in your mouth/eye? (that last part would suck, but i’m seriously just curious how that works)
16 – Is the jack-o-lantern part of him fragile like a real one? cuz if you bop a pumpkin, it squishes, so i would really hope something makes his head more sturdy than a normal pumpkin 🙁
17 – how do you bathe when your head is hollow? do you wear a shower cap, but for the whole thing to keep water out? can he drown? O__O;; wait, does he even breathe?
18 – Why the gloves? fashion statement? Protection? Does he always wear them?
19 – Does he see like normal? He’s not colorblind or… like Daredevil where he doesn’t actually “see” but still kinda sees? Does bright light hurt?
20 – Does the jack-o-lantern feel? like if she poked his cheek, would he feel “hey someone poked my cheek”? warm/cold? textures? like someone’s hand vs. a pillow would feel different
21 – back to where one question influences another… if he ever didn’t have the jackolantern head, then i assume he used to eat, and if so did he have favorite foods? does he miss them? if he’s always had the head and has never eaten, then i would assume not, but maybe he really likes the smell of a certain food and wishes he could eat it?
22 – has he ever had a crush on someone? Other than your avid fans, has anyone ever had a crush on him?
23 – Did he ever work with people before Ellie, or is this the first person he’s worked with on an extended basis?
24 – does he sing or play any instruments? Does he have a favorite kind of music?
25 – Why is his magic Green? Why is Ellie’s blue?
26 – back to the question about poking a finger or something into the hollow of his head and the one about does his head feel anything… >.> don’t shoot me, but has he ever had a candle in his head? like to really freak someone out on halloween? cuz that would be both awesome and terrifying to see
27 – Does he smell like pumpkin? pumpkin pie? Pumpkin Spice, the cologne for tall dapper jackolantern men… yeah i’m terrible.. -.-‘
28 – have any animals (like squirrels or even a dog or cat or bird) ever tried to chew on Ichabod’s head?
29 – has a witch ever threatened to turn ichabod into a pumpkin pie if he didn’t cooperate?
What is ichabods gun? And what is it called?
Is Ichabod asexual, I’m just curious.
