@tomanynames said: Can we hear about the Blush Mermaid Heist please!!

I’m tagging @mirrorfalls because they asked about this too! I have…feelings about this heist, which is to say I disliked it. Detailed spoilers for the trick follow, so I’m putting this under a cut.

( Read more... )

Look, I’m not a real hardcore animal rights type most of the time, but honestly? The real victim of the Blush Mermaid Heist was the turtle.

It’s not safe to glue something to a turtle’s shell, especially for an extended period of time. If the glue is something toxic and goes through the cracks, it can make the turtle sick. If the turtle is still growing, you run the risk of stunting its growth.

Then KID put iron dust in the poor little guy’s food and stuck him to a magnetic plate. Again, we are not seeing a lot of concern for the turtle here. On a meta level, I think Gosho researched synthetic diamonds more than he did aquatic turtles, which are fussy, easy-to-injure animals when kept in captivity. I don’t know if giving a turtle enough iron fillings to supplement the magnetic properties of the fake diamond on its back and make it stick to a metal plate is safe. This isn’t something you can easily research on the internet, and I’m sorry, but I don’t have enough invested in this to ask someone outright. But Gosho did, and he could have easily called a pet store about the matter. The way the scenario is written suggests he did not bother doing this, especially as there is no effort to reassure the audience that KID’s trick didn’t hurt the turtle.

Gosho is usually nicer to animals than this–puppies and kitties get to be cute and remain unhurt, and the doves get looked after too. But apparently turtles aren’t special?

Also, okay, everything about the Masumi disguise situation was stupid. KID crossdresses almost constantly. Assuming gender based on clothing is a complete rookie mistake that Gosho had him make because it was funny. Except the gag regarding Masumi’s chest was off-color when he introduced it and it’s only gotten worse. Masumi kicking KID was funny, but it would have been just as funny if she’d gotten to do it for him trying to steal her clothes. Also, it felt like a cheap way of making sure that Conan, not Masumi, took the lead in the heist investigation. I’d like to see a proper face-off between Masumi and KID.

(Frankly, speaking as a woman, you can tell that a man is writing something when a teenage girl is restrained and unconscious in a men’s bathroom for an extended period of time and this is basically handwaved as “no big deal.”)

Basically, this was the kind of heist I’d expect to see in MK, where Kaito doing poor heist prep and making mistakes has a payoff–it increases suspense and makes the readers worry about the protagonist. For all that I personally am a big KID fan, when I read DC, I generally try to read the chapter from the perspective of the narration, so I was trying to read from Conan’s point of view. From Conan’s point of view, this was just a particularly ill-thought-out scenario and the humor/Kaito’s mistakes felt distracting, rather than like something that added to the tension.

In short, I’m not a big fan of the Blush Mermaid heist, and I hope to goodness the upcoming heist is a bit better.

Current Mood: annoyed

Art of several characters from Gundam 00 in basketball uniforms and holding basketballs.

Happy belated birthday, @shengyoushengyin (

w-ingsofwords)! You’ve mentioned Kuroko no Basuke to me as a series you particularly like, and that ended up giving me the idea for a Gundam 00 basketball AU. I don’t have a firm idea for an overall plot for the universe, but have some sketches, and some random thoughts for the story/character roles:

All of the Meisters were the best basketball player on their last team. Setsuna didn’t even play for a school team before this but whatever team he was on, he was still the best. There’s some friction between them, as a result.
Hong Long has some complicated family stuff going on that he’s trying to escape through basketball
Setsuna is probably trying to work through whether his tendency toward an aggressive, viciously competitive playstyle is really constructive (spoiler: it’s not)
Allelujah is trying to balance his mental health stuff and his commitment to basketball
Neil and Lyle’s complicated relationship is also an ongoing problem for the team, so the two of them are trying to work that out—Neil through toning down his “untouchable” perfection that’s often gained at the cost of taking unneeded risks/getting sports injuries, and Lyle by finding ways to define himself that aren’t based on his brother
Tieria is trying to learn how to have interests that he’s chosen for himself
Saji doesn’t start out being that serious about basketball, and thinks he’ll just sit on the bench all season, but seeing how important it is to everyone around him makes him want to start working harder at it
Ms. Sumeragi is the coach, and various members of the bridge crew work with her on things like designing the team’s training schedule, overseeing stretches, and working with injured players. Most of them are high school/college students who are interested in coaching or sports medicine.
Marie and Anew are members of the women’s basketball team at their institution, and at one point they challenge the men’s team to a game out of sheer spite because of the differences in how much each team gets funded. They don’t have a proper coach, but Marina Ismail has been acting as their faculty advisor, and Marie’s dad Sergei, who used to be a professional basketball player, has been giving them unofficial advice. After the game, they start sharing coaching staff with the guys.
One rival team is coached by Kati Mannequin, and includes star players Graham Aker and Billy Katagiri, and possibly some other A-Laws. Another is coached by Laguna Harvey and includes the Trinities. A third team is made up of the Innovades and they pretty much do what they want.

(better quality and an additional image of the Dylandy Twins here)

Headcanon A: realistic

Masumi doesn’t like being mistaken for a guy, but if she has to choose between that and being in clothes not suited for running or fighting in, she’ll risk the former. She may not know everything about what her family’s mixed up in but she knows enough to value freedom of movement, and the safety it gives her, over aesthetics.

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

While she likes living in a hotel (or, at least, living someplace with maid service), there are certain…downsides to her current living situation. For one, Sera is pretty sure she is the only high school student at Teitan who has ever had to tell her mother that she can’t have alcohol because she’s too young and it could affect her brain development. The entire parent/child dynamic is occasionally a little messy for both of them, since Mary has to stand on furninture to look her daughter in the eye and Masumi is capable of physically picking her mother up and carrying her with one arm.

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

Seeing Scar Akai on the Mystery Train made her worried about her sanity, because she couldn’t stop wondering if it really was him, even though she knew it couldn’t be. That incident touched off a good two weeks of seeing echoes of her brother in every tired-looking twentysomething with prominent cheekbones on the train, and of having to remind herself that not every flutter of dark fabric she saw from the corner of her eye was him walking by in a dark coat. She also lost about an hour of sleep one night just picturing his face, tracing the outline of the scar and thinking about how he would have gotten it and how much it must have hurt.

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

The thing about her chest size started as a joke. She was used to her old friends’ sense of humor, which involved telling her off in humorous ways when she deliberately broke social norms. But she came to realize that in Japan, most people fell into one of two categories: either they were too polite to point out her mistake and would just act slightly uncomfortable until she stopped acting outside of what she considered acceptable behavior, or they would say nothing because it was funny to watch the foreign girl screw up. Now, talking about her chest size has become a way of gauging exactly how casually racist and/or generally unpleasant the people around her are.

(Look, I know it’s happening in canon because Gosho honestly thinks it’s funny and cute, but I find it disgusting to the point where I was avoiding her episodes for a while so this is the kinda headcanon gymnastics I gotta do)

Pencil sketch of the Kingdom Hearts characters Vanitas and Repliku leaning against a brick wall. Both are teenage boys with spiky hair. They look tired but happy.

Sooooo KH3 AU wherein Vanitas and Repliku are both alive and instead of getting sucked into the conflict of good versus evil (and probably getting possessed by Xehanort, though I’m really trying not to think about that possibility) they just run around the worlds with their Keyblades, wavering between chaotic evil and chaotic neutral, avoiding Xehanort, and occasionally tarnishing Sora and Riku’s reputations as they go.

So, at some point Vanitas re-forms, and then defects because he realizes that Xehanort is basically using the possibility of reuniting with Ven to manipulate him, and also he’s getting really tired of the Unversed being used as cannon fodder.

Repliku also re-forms, but after Castle Oblivion has been abandoned, so no one can recapture him. He doesn’t want to go to Org XII, he doesn’t want to go to Riku…and then Vanitas comes along.

They’ve both got Keyblades, they both know how to sneak around, and it’s not really that hard to steal a Gummi ship and basically start a road trip.

They only kill Heartless because the things drop items and munny sometimes and those are useful for staying alive. Other methods they’ve figured out for eating include straight-out theft and crashing royal balls (they’ve gotten more subtle since the time they straight-up ran out with armfulls of pastries and the royal guards chasing them)

It’s very likely that anyone who wanted to hire them would have to make it sound vaguely nefarious in order to appeal to them, just because they’ve spent too much time being taught to look down on “good guys.”

Riku and Sora are Very Tired of being mistaken for them.

durinswizardwheezes said: i'm gonna send you a few of these sorry not sorry but can you do minato/aigis' queerplatonic relationship? either taking a happy ending au as 'canon' or ripping our hearts out with actual canon

Headcanon A: realistic

Once Aegis starts feeling “human” and also starts getting closer with Minato, they put together a list of “human” things to try out together. Among the conclusions: Aegis likes cooking, learning about traditions, walks, and forms of art and literature that involve a strict formula that she can use to understand them. On the other hand, she really doesn’t like lying down outside of her charging station, not even on Minato’s shoulder, and abstract art confuses her badly. Of the things they try, the favorite they agree on is baking–Aegis likes how structured it is and how happy the product makes the rest of SEES, and Minato likes the feeling of working together with Aegis without the danger of Tartarus to bring it about.

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

Yukari got a little jealous after they announced their relationship and told Aegis about the “human custom” of buying matching couples’ shirts. Minato explained things after Aegis had already bought them off the internet. The two of them ended up wearing them around the dorm like there was nothing odd about it while the rest of SEES freaked out either at how ugly the shirts were or just at how embarrassing the two of them were being. Both of them agreed that the reactions were worth it and ended up thanking Yukari for the advice after she stopped sputtering and started trying to apologize.

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

Minato has trouble wrapping his mind around the way Aegis prioritizes him at first. He’s so used to being alone that being the main focus of another person’s attention is almost overwhelming. Why does she care so much? He can’t understand what’s so special about him.

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

Minato dies of old age and Aegis misses him but she stays strong for their adopted children and grandchildren.

Anonymous said: Akai Shuichi for the headcanon meme please? =]

Headcanon A: realistic

Akai was that one really intense kid at the back of the FBI training course classroom who had no goshdarn social life to speak of and basically just dedicated his entire being to becoming the absolute best FBI agent he could be, to the detriment of his own physical, social and emotional health.

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

Akai started making all that curry because he just…didn’t know what to do with free time? And now it’s kind of gotten out of control. His perfectionism’s taking over. He’s gotta make good curry.

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

Shinichi’s probably the closest thing he has to a real friend. Camel is important to him, but the man’s affection is born from a mix of guilt and admiration, and sometimes his regard feels…heavy, in ways Akai can’t bear to examine closely. James Black is his boss, and sometimes he tries to be a father figure, which Akai does not appreciate, and that undercurrent of tension is probably why Akai keeps bucking orders. Jodie loves him, but she wants him to be someone he isn’t sometimes and he’s not sure how to explain to her that he can’t live up to her expectations. Shinichi isn’t his boss and doesn’t take orders from him, he just likes his intellect and occasionally takes advantage of his skills, but with the full expectation that Akai will respond in kind. That’s as close to uncomplicated friendship as he’s gotten.

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

Happy Belated Birthday @hawk-in-a-tree! Hope yesterday was great. Also, reminder to anyone else reading this that I’m not all the way through the KH games, so this doesn’t take into account parts of BBS, or games released after. Please don’t spoil me by correcting any mistakes.

One of the most popular topics for the three of them is complaining about work, as is natural for three co-workers. At one point this devolves into a contest of who can do the best impression of their more annoying co-workers. Unsurprisingly, Xion wins. Roxas does manage to get Demyx’s speech patterns down pretty well, though, and Axel produces something close to Xigbar’s drawl.

After Xion and Roxas’s success with sharing Keyblades, Axel gets curious about whether either of them could handle his chakrams. This does not go well, partly because his weapons are sized for him, and both Xion and Roxas are significantly shorter than he is, and used to weapons with blades that only go forward. It ends in Axel scolding them repeatedly, “No, no, you don’t stab things with them, you gotta–uuugh, look, let me demonstrate again.”

Once, Axel comes back from two missions in a row, goes to meet the others for ice cream immediately, and falls asleep before he can even start eating. He wakes up to find Roxas halfway through his ice cream and beaming at him while Xion has his head on her lap and is tugging at his hair. He sits up, to a chorus of giggles, and realizes they’ve done his hair. He pulls the ponytail out before anyone can find a camera, moaning about how he probably looked like Xigbar. Roxas had taken photos while he was still asleep, and took one with him when he left the Organization.

The three of them are fast on their way to becoming a local tall tale among the kids in Twilight Town–”If you look up at the Clock Tower at the right time, you can sometimes see mysterious cloaked figures there.” The person who own the ice cream stall knows exactly who they are and isn’t about to ruin the kids’ harmless spooky story by telling them that it’s just three other kids who like ice cream and apparently also heights.

In Roxas’s first days with the Organization, he’s minimally verbal and has trouble with fine motor coordination. When his powers start being channeled to Xion, that starts happening again, only this time it’s accompanied by fatigue. It starts small–dropping ice cream, giving shorter answers to questions, looking confused and drowsy when he hasn’t done much to get that way, and scares the heck out of Axel, who starts avoiding Saïx when he can because he knows he’ll get a mission if he talks to the guy. He doesn’t want to be away more than necessary when he’s not sure he can trust Roxas not to fall off the tower by accident.

Both Roxas and Xion talk to each other when they’re “asleep,” but their approaches are different. Roxas pretends she’s awake, and holds a one-sided conversation, imagining responses for her to keep it going. Xion gives summaries of what’s happening while he’s sleeping, making sure to focus on the things that she thinks would interest him most.

Axel doesn’t visit as much when they’re sleeping; he knows there are eyes on him and that appearing too attached could have consequences for all three of them. When he does come, he doesn’t talk–he’ll adjust Xion’s sheets or ruffle Roxas’s hair, but his mouth stays shut. He has a lot he wants to say, but he doesn’t want to say it in a place where it might be heard by someone else.

In a previous ask, an anon asked for several DC characters, including Hondou Hidemi/Kir.

Headcanon A: realistic

While Hidemi never became a nurse, she did get first aid and CPR certifications while training with the CIA. It’s a way of holding on to the dream she gave up in order to follow her father’s path. She is not, on the other hand, a fully trained meteorologist, but she was rushed through a few community college courses and she filled the rest in with independent research during the first few months of her assignment.

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

Hidemi’s method of checking whether people are lying–cupping their cheek to feel their pulse via their carotid artery–is fine for small children, but it sends some mixed messages with people her own age. Especially since she’s a nice-looking single woman whose job involves looking photogenic. She’s accidentally led on two different men while trying to conduct investigations for the Black Org. She caught on to what was happening around the third.

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

Related to the first item, Hidemi knew enough about medicine and emergency response in particular to analyze the wound that killed Hondou Ethan. Somehow, she managed to bring the part of her mind that was performing triage and determining if the patient was still showing signs of life forward, and to push the part that was screaming about her father’s death in order to protect her to the back. That was the only reason she stayed calm long enough for her actual CIA training to kick in and keep her from breaking down and making her father’s sacrifice pointless.

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

More exaggerated than unrealistic, but: the only reason she hasn’t absolutely bitten Akai Shuichi’s head off for not forcing her brother into witness protection is the fact that it’s still risky for her to get into contact with him. Otherwise, it would be 5 pages of pure angry venom.

tournamentsofroses said: Ninth, may we hear your thoughts on Kingdom Hearts so far?

Okay, so first of all this is all

hawk-in-a-tree‘s fault for getting me to watch gameplay videos and getting me attached to all the characters.

I’ve only been through KH1, Chain of Memories, KH2, 358/2 Days, and part of Birth By Sleep (specifically, Terra’s and Ven’s routes, but not Aqua’s), so please no one reblog this with spoilers for other games! I will get there eventually and then you all can yell at me about the full canon!

So, in no particular order:

Sora is too goshdarn young for this, people need to stop encouraging him to repress his emotions, and also he needs actual training/instruction in Keyblade-related history
Riku is precious and I feel so bad for him because he was just a kid who made a few mistakes that snowballed, but gosh did those mistakes have some impressive collateral damage (I still love him though)
Kairi needs more love from canon
All of the Nobodies, Replicas, and assorted other “not-real” people are valid and human and Square Enix needs to stop killing them.
In particular Repliku deserved better than having someone else’s memories forced on him
I read a fic before watching the games and as a result I have a special amount of sympathy for Vanitas. Also, I mean, he spent years with Xehanort.
The whole thirty-Ansem-pileup thing messed me up pretty good. I had to ask hawk-in-a-tree to check my understanding of which one was which after KH2.
I can’t believe the sheer number of times they made ice cream a plot point
Axel is absolutely 100% what you’d call my trash fave. Gosh I love him but he makes terrible decisions.
I can’t believe anyone ever gave Even custody of a child. Why? Someone remove Ienzo from his care please.
Ven deserved nothing that happened to him. Neither did Terra. I’m actually still trying to figure out which one horrifies me more.
Confusing me further is the fact that Leonard Nimoy played Xehanort, and thus even as I loathed the character I absolutely loved his voice.
I want to touch Marluxia’s hair; it looks extremely fluffy. I was very distracted by that thought through the entire boss fight.
Namine’s powers are straight-up terrifying
Actually pretty much all of Chain of Memories was just a head-trip that I really wasn’t expecting to be intense to the degree that it was
I’ve entered the FF7 fandom via fic and Advent Children so every FF7 cameo killed me, but Zack’s, in particular, killed me dead. (It’s baby Crisis Core Zack look at him he’s so innocent and he just wants to idolize someone…)
I’m really baffled that I have this many feelings about a franchise in which Donald Duck and Goofy are main characters, and yet here we are

Anonymous said: If you still doing the headcanon thing: Eisuke, his sister Hidemi (kir), and Sera Masumi. Thank You!

Sorry these took so long! I’m gonna be playing catch-up, but also, I don’t want to answer these all in a single post, so I’ll be making separate posts for each one.

So, this post will be about Hondou Eisuke.

Headcanon A: realistic

Parts of this have come up in my fic, but Eisuke doesn’t have extended family that he’s in contact with. His father wasn’t in contact with his extended family during his work in Japan. Eisuke and Hidemi will later realize that all of their father’s stories were stripped bare of any details that could be used to find his relatives or hometown. His mother, meanwhile, fought with her family over her choice to marry a foreign-born man with a disinclination toward answering questions plainly. While a few of them attended the funeral, it was made clear to Eisuke that while his mother was missed, his father was still a disreputable sort in their eyes, moreso since he wasn’t at said funeral. He’s thus not in contact with them, either.

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

Eisuke’s clumsiness isn’t so much an obfuscating stupidity trait as a natural flaw he’s managed to twist into a method of deflecting suspicion from himself when necessary. When he finally attempts to enter the CIA training program, this works both for and against him. For, because he’s gotten really good at working around his flaws. Against, because his clumsiness is real and is an actual problem during the Clandestine Service Trainee program.

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

Eisuke absolutely has a few nightmares in which he follows through and stabs Hidemi while she’s lying in that hospital bed. He knows it’s her as he’s doing it, but his hand moves anyway, and her hand doesn’t. Nothing gets him back to bed after those dreams.

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

All of my non-canon things for DC are probably going to be more realistic because canon is the unrealistic one.

Ran, Sonoko, and Eisuke keep in touch via phone and internet after he goes to the US. Eisuke considers going around Shinichi and asking Ran what she wants, but once he realizes that maintaining any kind of reasonable standard of living in the US will require him to get at least one part time job and also study English a lot in his spare time, he puts aside the idea of a long-distance relationship for his own reasons.

Anonymous said: Kogoro Mouri for the ask meme please? 😉

Headcanon A: realistic

I’ve been pretty well influenced by Ellen Brand’s Unprofessional Opinion, but I am pretty convinced that Mouri has issues with depression. I’d differ from her story in that I think he always had some problems with it, but that it only got to the point where it interfered with his job after his wife left. Japan’s bad with mental health, and Mouri’s not only terrible at asking for help but also a master of socially unacceptable coping mechanisms (smoking, drinking to excess, inappropriate flirting, taking his anger out on random bystanders) so he’s not exactly in a good position to get any sympathy or help.

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

Back when he was a cop, Megure used to take advantage of Kogoro’s utter obnoxiousness. He just set the guy on a suspect, apologized continually for his rude colleague, and had said suspect thoroughly off-balance by the time he actually wanted to ask questions that were relevant to the case rather than uncomfortably personal. After a while, he got Kogoro in on it. They had a system, and it worked pretty well until Kogoro left the force.

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

Kogoro doesn’t understand what Sleeping Kogoro is or how it’s happening, and the blackouts are more than a little scary, but it’s the best thing that’s happened to him in years and he’s more terrified that it’ll stop.

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

More not canon than not realistic, but here’s my version of “Eri left Mouri because he complained about her cooking.”

It was the last straw. You can take the movie events of the Thirteenth Target as canon or not, but either way, something had happened at work and he was on a downswing. He wasn’t doing his part around the house, and instead was sitting around, drinking beer and watching TV, and it finally sank in for Eri that neither nagging him nor manipulating him was going to effectively stop this behavior. (Of course, talking with him might have actually worked, but neither of them were ever very good at things like communicating their feelings directly) He complained about her cooking, she realized that she couldn’t make Kogoro into the man she wanted him to be by force, and she left.

hawk-in-a-tree said: Saji Crossroad? U love him :D

Headcanon A: realistic

Celestial Being is a bit of an odd experience for Saji, and for reasons beyond the obvious. Back in Tokyo, he was always one of the most mature people his age in any given setting. As an orphan who took care of most of the housework for an older sister who worked full-time, he’d grown up quickly in some senses. But he didn’t realize how much of a childhood Kinue had still managed to give him until he compared himself to Setsuna and Feldt. Feeling like the immature one is new for him, and he doesn’t like it, on a number of levels.

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

One thing that Saji doesn’t expect to gain through his brief military career, but does nonetheless, is a wider cooking repertoire. Celestial Being is international, and while the kitchens aren’t exactly well-stocked, he still ends up picking up at least one or two recipes from a number of members. Louise approves.

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

Saji never finds out why Kinue died. After he finds out that the main branch of Celestial Being itself wasn’t responsible for her death, he tries to investigate further, but Corner was too smart to keep records of what he asked Al-Saachez to do. Saji suspects Corner and his CB-adjacent organization, of course, but he never finds proof.

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

Saji eventually processes his desire to disassociate himself from his brief military career and accepts those events as things that happened and were even somewhat formative, rather than continuing to pretend to himself that he was minimally involved, as the movie seems to suggest.

Anonymous said: Kido for the headcanon meme please?

Headcanon A: realistic

She is the type who plays a single song on loop for days. Kano knows and thinks it’s hilarious.

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

She is pretty uncomfortable with her powers for the most part, but she’s not above using them to sneak up on people as a prank…or at least trying. Kano always hears her coming. Seto is startled every time, to the point where it’s not even funny anymore.

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

She is trying her best to be the big sister, now, in Ayano’s absence, but she’s not really good at expressing her feelings verbally, and her history with her family and at the orphanage has made physical affection difficult for her as well. She’s best at showing love through her actions–cooking, doing chores, listening to her siblings rant when they need to–but it never feels like enough to her.

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

She keeps her powers post-canon. Momo drags her on tour so that she can get time off from constant public scrutiny, and also because Kido deserves a few months of someone else catering all her food.

ranichi17 also asked for Miyano Shiho!

Headcanon A: realistic

Shiho had the intelligence to go to Tokyo University or another top-ranked school, but not the background. In Japan, a fair amount of weight is placed on how good the high school you attended was when entering college, and Shiho was likely homeschooled while working on projects for the Org, since the way she acts as Ai indicates that normal socialization isn’t exactly a familiar experience for her. So her degree is through a second-rate institution with some slightly shady faculty members, but their library is adequate and that’s good enough for her.

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

The Black Organization didn’t exactly provide babysitting, so Shiho spent a lot of her early childhood hanging around her parent’s lab. it wasn’t unusual to come into the lab and see her and Akemi on the floor with a set of blocks or a set of toy test tubes. Safely away from the hazardous substances, of course. The two of them ended up with a lower-level member of the organization assigned to them as a de-facto babysitter. It was essentially punishment duty. Obviously the organization had worst punishments than having to look after two genius preschoolers, but not a lot of worse punishments.

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

When Shiho was younger, she wanted to work at a big pharmaceutical company and do work like her parents’, except she wanted to be able to decide what projects she would work on for herself. Akemi held off on explaining the facts of the situation for a while, but she did eventually get to that point.

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

Ai’s neck-deep in the supernatural shenanigans and fully aware of it. She went to the mermaid island for research. She likes hard science better, sure, but that doesn’t mean she’s in denial (unlike certain Holmes nerds). She knows that being able to sense members of a certain organization isn’t normal, and neither is however Kudou scents murderers and attracts murders. And then there’s Toyama-san, who’s on a whole different plane of weird. Bottom line: she knows.

ranichi17 said: Has anyone asked for Kisaragi Shintarou in the ask meme yet? Or Miyano Shiho?

This post is gonna be Kisaragi Shintarou since there’s not a lot of people who are in both the Kagepro and DCMK fandoms. I’ll do Shiho in a seperate post.

Headcanon A: realistic

In terms of real-life instruments, Shintarou can play the piano/keyboard and the guitar, as well as the drums. He had piano lessons in middle school, probably, and he learned guitar in the high school music room without permission before Ayano decided to befriend him. He’s never tried, but his crap endurance means that he’d be terrible at all woodwind and brass instruments and in general would be laughed out of marching band.

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

Yes Shintarou made an Utauloid once, with his own voice. Specifically, back in middle school when his voice was in the middle of changing. No, no one can ever know about it. Not even Ene will find those files. He’s deleted all the copies.

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

Good endings in which Shintarou uses his powers in the process of ending the time loop come at a cost. He spends the next few months (and the rest of his life, but the next few months are the worst of it) waking up from screaming nightmares of deaths and betrayals and other horrors that both did and didn’t happen as his brain tries to process the massive amount of information he’s suddenly remembered. Everyone is helping each other through these sorts of issues, of course, since the entire Dan is varying degrees of traumatized, but everyone ends up avoiding Shintarou a little at first because it is unnerving as heck to hear a detailed second-person account of your violent murder from your babbling, half-asleep friend.

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

I’m very attached to the idea of Shintarou’s condition as a hikkomori being actually treated seriously. A lot of Japanese media don’t take it that seriously, probably because they understand that some people who watch the shows are hikkikomori themselves and don’t necessarily want to confront that kind of thing in their entertainment, but once someone becomes hikkikomori, it generally takes a lot of effort for them to start engaging with the outside world again. It’s classified as a culture-specific mental illness, and it’s not something that will just go away after two days, not even two days on infinite repeat. Especially when those two days on infinite repeat are traumatizing in and of themselves.

smartass-telepath said: Not a character but Thousand Swords headcanons? Or: ELS Zarkon headcanons >:D

I’m opting for ELS Zarkon, because I find this meme easier to do with a character than a whole AU.

For anyone unfamiliar, ELS Zarkon hails from @smartass-telepath‘s A Thousand Swords that Shine with Hate AU, which crosses over Gundam 00 and Voltron. Go read his comics and then come back and read the headcanons, ok?

Also, while I am avoiding S5 spoilers, S3 spoilers abound.

Headcanon A: realistic

The enormity of how Setsuna changed him didn’t set in for Setsuna for quite some time. The pure rush of realizing that he was still alive overwhelmed everything else, and distracted him from processing the fact that he was no longer quite Galra in the strictest sense.

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

Zarkon is a wartime leader, and a politician, and a warrior. He leaves the science to his lovely wife. Which means he doesn’t really understand the first few times that Setsuna goes through the science. “But…am I a plant now? Have you been a plant for all this time, old friend?”

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

As an ELS, Zarkon knew he would have a lifespan of similar terrifying length to Setsuna’s. It doesn’t take him that long to realize that his options are turning his wife into the same kind of creature he is, the same thing that Setsuna is so sorry to have made him, or outliving her by thousands of years.

And then they find quintessence, and two things change: 1) this new energy source has the potential to extend her life to the point where it could match Zarkon’s, and 2) it’ warping them both so much that neither of them care anymore.

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

If the Thousand Swords timeline ever went to later points in the show, Lotor would be not be Galra at all, but half-ELS and half-Altean, and probably very good at appearing fully Galra, since both sides of his heritage are shapeshifters.

Anonymous said: Allelujah Haptism for headcanon meme

Headcanon A: realistic

I’ve alluded to this before, but Allelujah does not know a bunch of really basic things because he’s never lived in a normal environment. He went from the SSI to probably living on the streets to being part of CB. When he and Marie start travelling around, it’s the first time he has to maintain a budget, pick out his own wardrobe with varying weather conditions in mind, or make his own long-term plans. It’s exciting, but also a bit overwhelming at times.

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

I’ll make this as ship-neutral as possible even though you all know my bias, but Allelujah is absolutely the kind of boyfriend who buys things like oversized teddy bears or those weird fruit-bouquets for his significant other if he thinks it will make them happy. He does not take into consideration, necessarily, the fact that there’s no room in the fridge for the fruit bouquet or in the apartment for the bear.

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

His name is one of the most precious things he has, but the fact is that, even years and years post-canon, he will absolutely look up if someone says something that sounds close enough to “E-57.”

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

Similar to Marie and Soma, I like to think that he and Halle eventually get to the point where they basically have a timeshare on the physical body.

@mirrorfalls said: Oh, you're still doing these? Then I submit... the Black Organization. As a body or as individuals.

I find this kinda hard to do for a whole group, but I’m not doing the whole Org, individual by individual.

Headcanon A: realistic

It’s not something that canon gets into, but realistically, a criminal organization that big has to be into good, old-fashioned illegal drug trafficking and smuggling as well as the murder, extortion, and theft we see onscreen. Probably they deal in knock-off goods too.

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

You can get in trouble for letting your black clothing get too faded. Grey isn’t black, okay! There’s a dress code.

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

Ai and her sister were not the only kids born into positions with the Black Org, not by a long shot. Akemi isn’t unique in her fate, either.

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

Look, you can pry the “APTX and Pandora are related in some way” headcanon from my cold dead hands.

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.

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.
