Rev share those pre-campaign fj headcanons please!! Inquiring minds would like to know!
thank u SO much for asking. honestly these headcanons bring me so much joy every time i think about fjorester!! they're also based on like canon evidence but im at work rn and don't have the energy to go digging for clips.
so the primary one is that even though jester was the one to have that intense infatuation in the early days, it was fjord who kind of first noticed/first felt that draw and that attraction towards jester. in an early episode they're talking to the party about how they met and fjord says something along the lines of "but i'd seen you around before" but jester just looks...puzzled? and i pretty instantly fell in love with the idea that jester and fjord crossed paths several times before they officially "met" in port damali, and those interactions left an impression on fjord, but jester was too caught up in her own idealizations and excitement to notice, which is just.......the sweetest mental picture to me.
on top of that, there's that panel that laura and travis did where they talked about how fjord and jester met, and in essentials, they met in port damali before fjord went out on that last trip on the tide's breath, and when fjord washed ashore, he, and i quote, "chased her to the next town over." so to jester, he's just this handsome and charming sailor she bumped into in port damali a few weeks ago, but to fjord, she's this enigmatic, confusing, endearing magical blue girl who he has seen around nicodranas for years, and she's the only one he can think of to help him when he wakes with new powers!
this is so rambly but i just love thinking about fjord watching jester give dockworkers a hard time a few piers down, faintly amused, unaware that he's looking at the girl he's gonna fall madly in love with in a few years's time. like all y'all who follow me know that i love the back-and-forth that is vital to fjorester's growth and development, and this just adds a whole new level to it!
those crossing paths are the exact kind of thing that inspire me to write that pre-campaign fic. like the idea of sabien catching her running along the docks and fjord telling him to let her go. fjord walking towards a pub and glancing up as he passes the lavish chateau and seeing jester leaning over a balcony, gazing wistfully towards the ocean. fjord literally running smack-dab into her while she paints profanities on the side of a local lord's carriage and pointedly turning the other way. there's so much potential here!!! it's like they had four or five meet-cutes before ever actually meeting!!!!!
