Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude...........

Are you a psychic?

Because that is totally what I was thinking !

Great minds think alike!

I know we don't necessarily need to find a reason for Father to hate kids/the KND but I did try to come up with something, a backstory more devolopped for my fanfic.

Basically, yes : Benedict does blame Monty and the KND for "destroying" his family. A) Monty, by reviving the KND, took Ben's chances away to ever get some recognition from his father (even when he does in op zero, I'm wondering, 'was it worth it?' and I don't think so), and B) if you consider my headcanon about them being separated by the child services after Monty's victory, his team only helped him and not his brother : 'let's help Zero, he got rid of the tyran - what about his brother? - why should we? he didn't help us, what good will he be?' Should I mention that in my headcanon Ben actually heard that? And so, the two brothers got separated, one taken away by the child services, the other saved by his KND buddies. I already said in my previous post that Monty SEARCHED EVERYWHERE for Ben, unfortunately without success, during his time in the KND. And you wanna hear the irony I came up with? The 7th age is drastically different from the 6th (that's canon, they didn't even have cars, cf Op CAKE-FIVE), so I'm thinking that Monty insisted to improve 2x4 technology and to establish new sets of rules in order to not lose another kid ever again. 

What I'm saying is the Kids Next Door organization wouldn't be the way it is today if their separation never happened.

Grandfather made differences between his sons (which is the worst parent thing to do), clearly showing his preference towards Monty. I also see him using old corporal punishments on his kids, but since he had a favorite, Ben was the one to get all the worst punishments: mistake equals punishments, failure equals punishments, disobedience equals punishments. Ben started to resent his brother for being so goddamn perfect (according to Grandfather of course) because there was nothing that was good enough for his father. Even with this resentment (believe me, by having two sisters, I know what I'm talking about), Ben still couldn't truely hate his brother, being the only person who ever cared for him. But the fact he thought Monty would want to spend more time with the KND and basically being abandoned by his brother (from his point of view, mind you, Monty NEVER quit searching for his little brother) is what increased his resentment into hatred for the KND. 

I still headcanon that they do meet again as teenagers, but let's just say that ..... well, things changed. In the end, Ben didn't need ANYONE, he went through all of this ALONE, thinking he was so worthless his brother didn't bother to come for him. He had to grow up fast, but deep down, there's a kid part of him still waiting for his brother. A part he despises so much for reminding him that being a kid sucks: no one takes you seriously, people ignore you, you're weak and defenseless: Ben just doesn't want to feel that hopelessness again. The truth is that Monty was too late. His brother was already taken over by resentment and hatred by the time they meet as teenagers. The gap between them has widened ever since the rebellion and it still getting bigger.

There are people who had crappy childhood and they won't hesitate to make suffer the next generation out of spite, Father is one of them.

I believe Monty was like 11 years old and Ben 8 years old in Op ZERO (and I believe 1st graders are 8 years old), so if you consider my headcanon about Father being behind Nigel's kidnapping, he did it when Nigel was the same age as he was when Zero's rebellion happened. Would he do something that petty? I mean, he seems pretty okay trying to destroy his nephew, so yes, I think he would do something that petty.

In conclusion, Benedict hasn't forgiven Monty for choosing the KND over his own brother and his resentment is what keeps him for any reconciliations between them. He is just avoiding his brother, because a decomissioned Monty isn't really the best person to hang out with, especially when he forgot why they went on their separate ways. Ben doesn't stand that his brother would just "erase" a part of his life as if it never happened. You can't just pretend something didn't happen and just go on with your life that easily!

But of course, all of this is only a headcanon. This is how I see the Uno bros' backstory and it's what I'll use for my fanfic.

Oooh, it is like the headcanon of Nigel being immune to brainfreeze? Because of his thermal powers he doesn’t feel spicy things like regular people?

Headcanon accepted!

I must admit I don’t, Anon. If you have a link to your AU, feel free to add it by reblogging or in the notes.

ASDFGHJKLÉ!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

I suppose it comes from the fact that “uno” means one in spanish, and that american people aren’t that knowledgable about the rest of the world: it is also one in italian, so why not adding italian ancestry to the Uno family?

I don’t speak spanish, so I won’t trash the language with an auto trad.

Why do I feel it’s Ben who’s singing? This song... Wow.... 

Since we’re into theme songs for the Uno bros, I also listen to Far From Me by Aviators:

Another song that can fit the bros, is Crossing the Line, from Tangled the animated series. It’s really a great show and oh boy, this song screamed Monty-Benedict energy since the first note. Obviously, Monty is Rapunzel and Benedict is Cassandra:

I’m listening to that song whenever I think about my headcanon on how they found themselves as teenagers after being separated, but unfortunaly Ben is already done with his brother at this time. WHY DO I HURT MYSELF LIKE THAT???

This time is not a song, but just a theme from a video game, Roxas’ theme Re:Coded 2.5 ReMix version:

It’s the saddest version of them all, and I always listen to this when I draw or write some Uno bros angsty headcanons. 

And somehow, Demons by Imagine Dragons makes me think of the two bros:

I would probably update this list but for now, I think it’s a good start. You’re free to reblog and add other songs that fit the Uno bros, LET’S MAKE THE ULTIMATE ANGSTY PLAYLIST FOR THEM !!

Possible, but since the demonic origin of their powers is only a headcanon, and that Mr. Warburton might have given the names randomly, we can’t be sure.

But honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised, Grandfather is the biggest dick out here.

That’s why he’s.... the Number One !

BADUM TSSSS!!!

To be honest, it is quite hard to know for sure what Mr. Warburton had in mind since the first season.

Don’t forget the show wasn’t supposed to be a success: I highly doubt he had all of the stories ready from the beginning.

While we can suspect Op: UNDERCOVER as a foreshadow about the DCFDTL as KND operatives, the fact that they don’t turn into animals right away in Op: GRADUATES gave the fans a lot of questions. The answer is simple, plot holes. But to understand in universe, the fan theory is that the delightfulisation changed their DNA.

It’s one of the exemples to explain the show has plot holes, and that not everything was planned from the start. I’m sure Mr. Warburton didn’t think of making Father Nigel’s uncle in Op: GROW-UP. Unless you can find an interview from Mr. W that states he planned all of this, we can’t be sure of anything.

He wouldn’t pull a Gosho on us. Even with all the little details that foreshadow stuff, as long as it’s not confirmed by Words of God, it’s only headcanon.

The coincidence is really funny, tho. Angst fuel all the way!!!!
