Headcanon Meme: Hakuba Saguru

 Anonymous said: ooh, Hakuba Saguru for the meme?

 

(Guess who has to remind herself to do the canon version and not my ridiculous AU version, XD)

Headcanon A:  realistic

 

Hakuba specializes in theft and fraud; he never specifies what kind of cases he previously solved during the Detective’s Koshien and I firmly believe that a lot of what he did overseas involved remote detective work and recovery of stolen objects and money. He has solved murders before, but he isn’t a murder detective in the way that Kudou and Hattori are.  If he joins the police, he’ll actually be joining Nakamori’s division.

 

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

 

Hakuba is functionally bilingual in Japanese and English, but his Japanese slang has a fair amount of gaps when he first comes to the country, since he mostly practiced Japanese with adult relatives and through television.  What I’m saying is that there are certain unpleasant slang terms that he’s sure, based on tone of voice, must mean something terrible, but he’s never learned the meaning of from any source of tutoring he’s ever had.  Anyone who’s ever been to public high school will realize that this becomes a problem rather quickly. (Fortunately, the internet is useful in this regard) 

 

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

 

He’s never been precisely good with people, particularly those his own age, so Kaito and the group of classmates that gather around him are his first real experience with friendships not born of constantly attending the same high-society functions or being in the same study groups. He’s quite sure that Kaito’s just attempting to get inside his guard. The problem is that it’s working, and he genuinely likes the thief he came to Japan to arrest.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

 

Hakuba is, at this point, not so much trying to arrest KID as he is to keep the heists from spiraling out of control.  He’s conflicted about arresting KID but he cares too much about everyone involved in heists to stop attending completely.  

Headcanon Meme: Kokonose Haruka

 Anonymous said: Haruka Kokonose?

 

Headcanon A:  realistic

 

When Haruka isn’t in his uniform, he prefers loose, comfortable clothes. A lot of his aesthetic choices are actually comfort-based because he doesn’t have the energy to expend on trying to look fancy.

 

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

 

Haruka is the sole and specific reason that several all-you-can eat buffets in town now have an upward limit on what “all you can eat” means.  

 

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

 

Haruka has a lot of insecurities about himself as a friend, since he’s pretty low on energy and sometimes just ends up at the hospital for weeks at a stretch, so he sometimes has doubts about his friendships with the rest of the Yuukei Quartet.

 

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

 

Post-Daze, Haruka does permanently need a wheelchair, and while this part is realistic and possibly canon, the non-canon part is him moving into the red-brick house with the rest of the quartet, who promptly make the place as wheelchair accessible as possible.  (I’ve mentioned this once a while ago) And they all live happily from then on.

Headcanon Meme: Riddle in Reverse!Hakuba

 Anonymous said: Omg, please do the ridiculous AU version of Hakuba Saguru also for the headcanon meme? I love your ridiculous Hakuba.

Thank you, I love him too! Please note that this post is full of Riddle in Reverse and Steeplechase spoilers! (I will get back to work on those when my health gets back in gear)

 

Headcanon A:  realistic

 

Hakuba is basically the mom friend who doesn’t know how to take care of himself. He’ll tell you to remember to eat your vegetables and get a good night’s sleep, but then he’ll spend all night working on a case and do all sorts of other reckless things that he would yell at you for.

 

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

 

When he first starts working with the police department, he has a hard time remembering that he is supposed to be following the law. He’s so used to being able to do things with that are completely illegal that he just completely forgets that there are rules you have to follow when you’re part of the police department, especially when your adult colleagues are watching. He keeps thinking things like “ this would be so much simpler if we could just hack their computers,”  and then remembering that he can’t do that now.

 

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

 

He’s never going to make friends with Mouri. Mouri smokes too much,  and cigarette smoke, really any kind of smoke, will always be a trigger for his PTSD,  at least to some extent. To be honest, it will be easier for him to spend time around Shinichi once he is able to move out of the Mouris’ house. On bad days, he probably has to ask Conan to either avoid meeting with him physically, or take a shower at the professor’s and change into clothes from there before he does.

 

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

 

Realistically he’s a little bit too mature to actually get petty revenge on Kaito’s mom for the whole Black Crow incident. In my heart, though, he makes her life as difficult as he possibly can.  He also does this for certain other people he does not like, some of whom have not yet appeared in the fic.

Headcanon Meme: Kudou Shinichi

Headcanon A:  realistic

 

Shinichi doesn’t have a lot of regrets about deciding to pursue detective work over soccer, but there are a few times, just after becoming Conan, when he has a bad day and he wonders.

 

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

 

He lowkey enjoyed riding around on that giant dog and kind of wishes the Mouris would let him get a pet. It would be softer than the skateboard, and the kids would probably like it too.

 

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

 

The stupid, stupid recklessness on cases started out as him forgetting he was tiny, but evolved into him disregarding it instead. It’s a control thing, a way of fighting against the limitations of his own body–if he can still manage the things he used to be able to do, then he wins.  Admitting that he’s endangering himself would be a concession, one that he’s less willing to make the longer he remains stuck as Conan.

 

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

 

If Shinichi and Kaito aren’t actually related, Toichi was at least a close enough family friend to babysit him as a kid.  This is not a novel headcanon, but I don’t care, it’s dearly held regardless.

Headcanon Meme: Axel

FabHawk said: *imma gonna keep throwing characters at you* Axel from Kingdom Hearts

*Disclaimer: I’m about halfway through watching a gameplay vid of KH2, and the only other games I’ve seen are KH1 and KH:COM. So if any of this turns out to be more canon than I know, don’t spoil me! I’d like to find out myself.*

 

Headcanon A:  realistic

 

Axel gives the impression that he does the most collateral damage of the Organization.  He gives this impression very carefully, and with admirable control.  He’s in fact very aware that his powers are very good for collateral damage, and if he leaves a bunch of half-burned out buildings behind him, those are deliberate. He fights people inside the Castle, after all. He knows how to control his fire when he has to.

 

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

 

During KH2 Axel, in the pursuit of trying to sound friendly enough to interact with Kairi, actually attempts to practice a friendly voice in front of a mirror.  

 

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

 

Related to the previous headcanon, part of the reason his friendly voice still sounds vaguely menacing is that he doesn’t have a lot of actual experience with friendly voices.  (Roxas sounded friendly sometimes, but it just sounds weird when Axel tries to impersonate him.  Who else is he going to impersonate? Larxene?)

 

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

 

All of my hopes edge too close to spoiler territory.  Maybe someday he learns how to be slightly less of a trash fave and a bit of a better person?  

Headcanon Meme: Setsuna F. Seiei

 hawk-in-a-tree said: Setsuna for headcanon meme

Headcanon A:  realistic

 

Setsuna likes sleeping in Exia better than he likes sleeping in the apartment in Japan or in his room on Ptolemy. He feels safer there, and the machinery sounds make for nice, comforting white noise.

 

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

 

After CB reforms and Saji joins, Setsuna’s slowly-developing sense of humor manifests in him occasionally telling Saji tall tales regarding what he was doing in his apartment.  He has him convinced for a while that CB was pretty much running out of a JAP Zone apartment’s bedroom–but then, of course, Saji mentions it to someone else, and the illusion breaks.

 

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

 

Hundreds of years later, as an ELS travelling space, Setsuna could still tell you the names of everyone in the KPSA. He’s forgotten a lot, and processed a lot of his trauma, but there are also things he’s chosen not to let go of.

 

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

 

At some point post-canon, he takes up gardening.

Headcanon Meme: Seto Kousuke

 Anonymous said: Seto from Kagepro?

Headcanon A:  realistic

 

Even once he’s an adult, Seto’s fondness for eye-searing green never quite abates. A lot of the other Dan members move away from their signature colors over time, or only hold on to them for sentimental reasons, but Seto just loves green a lot.

 

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

 

Whichever of his siblings starts dating first gets spied on via Seto’s animal friends.

 

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

 

After Ayano died, he spent a week straight avoiding his siblings, because he couldn’t shut out their thoughts, he didn’t think it was right for him to hear any of this, and honestly, he couldn’t handle what he was hearing.

 

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

 

Seto’s employers around town are looking out for him a bit–they know he and his siblings are on their own and that he’s acting as the breadwinner. He gets leftovers pushed at him on occasion, and no one says anything too harsh when he runs late.
