~Edo period Kikoru-sama~

The wealthy daughter of a warrior turned daimyo, Kikoru is of Dutch descent via a political marriage made to strengthen trading ties. Nearly all importation of the latest foreign weaponry and medicine needed to combat kaiju is overseen by the Shinomiya family, making them quite important.

In this AU, Kikoru doesn't start out as a proper fighter. Though she's trained with various weapons and martial arts, Kikoru has not experienced real battle and the soldiers always go easy on her when asked to spar.

While Isao remains distant and is often away for both business and battle, Kikoru has a slightly warmer relationship with him due to the altered circumstances of her childhood. After he's killed by a powerful kaiju, Kikoru awakens to a godly blessing not unlike Ashiro no Mikoto and resolves to take up arms.

Kikoru feels a bit out of place at times thanks to her mixed heritage (not that she'd ever admit it). As such, she's particularly drawn to a young samurai in her family's employ named Reno who is also of mixed descent.

Though I said previously that I wouldn't go into details on the godly aspect of this AU, thinking of which kami would give different characters favor has become too much fun... so I'm just going to go ahead and indulge myself!! So, who would Kikoru receive power from?

Izanami, goddess of the underworld.

While she's largely known as such, Izanami is first and foremost a creator goddess, the mother goddess from whom many of Japan's primary kami were made. It would be quite fitting then, I think, that Kikoru's mother also had Izanami's blessing. Taking Kikoru's "no one dies while I'm on the battlefield" line to the extreme, I think luck of this variety would likely be the nature of her blessing - but it wouldn't cover the wielder herself. Meaning Hikari still loses her life in battle much like in the main series.

Instead of raising her to be a fighter, Isao deters Kikoru from following in her mother's footsteps to the point of lying about Hikari's role as a warrior altogether. So Kikoru grows up safe and restless, eager to act but lacking in real power. Only after she experiences death - the death of her father - does the goddess of death herself take notice.

DON'T FALL IN LOVE

Capinha disponível pra adoção!

Shinomiya X Ichikawa from Kaiju no8

As meninas me converteram ao fandom de Kaiju e eu fui obrigada a sair da minha aposentadoria e lutar mesmo sem enxergar depois que a Juh mandou essas artes pra gente. Me aguardem voltando em algum momento da minha vida com mais capinhas da obra, pois terei que estar fazendo 🙊 no mais, na minha cabeça eles fazem muito sentido sendo o clichê dos amigos do prota que viram casal, e assim será até que o mangá mude minha mente.

Regras e condições:

1. Prazo mínimo de uso: 3 meses.

2. Se for escritor do Vanguardpjct e quiser adotar a capa, basta pedir para adicionar a marca d'água.

3. Não se esqueça de dar os créditos ao capista.

Rest of it is under the cut !

[nocandnc]

The relax spinoff exists to feed our shipping fantasies apparently lol

I see your blushy Kikorun…

[nocandnc]

The first time Reno sees Shinomiya wearing the Numbers 4 suit he’s like “it’s white like a wedding dress, looks nice 🙂” and Kikoru is stuck wondering what the fuck he meant by that.

(He didn’t mean anything in particular.)

i dont know if you've answered a question like this already, but what would your different kaiju no 8 ships react to learning they are going to be parents?

This hasn't come up before, so thanks for the interesting Ask! How would my Kn8 ships react to being parents, huh... let's see... I'll cover OkoHoshi, KafMina, AkarIharu... KikoReno is growing on me, and heck, let's throw in NaruRin too!!

Okonogi x Hoshina

I feel like neither of them would fully plan to have kids, but it'd probably happen eventually. Maybe there's some prompting from Hoshina's family regarding legacy and such that gets the gears turning, but in the end I think it's something like... an accident they didn't try very hard to avoid ^^;;;

I think Hoshina would be really happy at first - thrilled even, to have a kid or two he could pour love into and support in a way his family never did. But once reality sinks in he panics because what if he dies and leaves them all alone? What if he's more like his dad then he knows and gives them crippling self-worth issues?? He's both overjoyed and terrified.

Okonogi would be a little more ambivalent overall. Becoming a parent had never been on her bingo card... but neither was her relationship with Soshiro and that happened somehow, so she might as well keep rolling with it. The more she thinks on it, the more she likes the idea of having a little one around - even if they'll outgrow her sooner rather than later. Hoshina's glad that she's so calm about it all because he sure isn't.

No. 10 expresses interest in teaming up with the combined sum of their genes once Hoshina bites it. Okonogi explains over and over that there's no guarantee they'll be interested in kaiju slaying at all, but the sentient weapon remains optimistic.

Kafka x Mina

They strike me as wanting to start a family together, but whether they can actually make one or not is another matter. While Kafka is firmly a kaiju through-and-through, it seems like his human form is a near perfect mimic right down to the DNA (which is why he was never flagged by standard blood/urine tests) so it MIGHT be possible... but I rather like to headcanon Kafka as sterile.

So, I think they'd adopt instead!! Maybe it's a fully planned process, both so excited to expand their household - or maybe it's a spur of the moment decision after rescuing some orphaned kids during a kaiju attack and saying hey, why not come live with us? Either way, I think they'd feel really good about it. They're both nervous about how Kafka's kaiju form might go over, but by this point No. 8 would have gained a reputation as the friendly neighborhood Kaiju who's beloved by all... or so they hope.

Akari x Iharu

Out of everyone, this is the couple that really, really, really wants to have kids. Like trying at every opportunity, visiting the doctor for tips and tricks to improve their odds, the works. Iharu is stoked to be an awesome dad and Akari, with her sweet and caring nature, really can't wait to be a mom. They talk about it a lot while dating and are in full agreement on starting two or three years after marriage - maybe once Iharu receives a promotion or two and Akari finds confidence in more of a field medic role to suit her strengths. Iharu cries the first time Akari announces she's pregnant, and the second, and the third...

Kikoru x Reno

While the notion of having a family is something that appeals to them in the back of their minds, they're both a little hesitant on really going for it. Reno would be a very responsible dad of course, if a bit high-strung. Kikoru isn't interested in kids initially, but as she grows older she thinks more and more on how her mom was awesome, and wouldn't it be something if she could be an awesome mom to a kid of her own - only this time no one dies, and she can raise them up with love alongside Reno...

But! But... Kikoru is such a powerful asset in battle that she worries about the ripple effect it could have. What if the baby got hurt inside her? Would wearing No. 4 have ill effects? Who would cover for her time off during emergencies once she's too far along? What about the potential toll on her body...?

With these concerns in mind, I actually think having a surrogate carry the baby for her would be a pretty viable option. Hakua might volunteer, but I think Akari would ultimately do the honors after breezing through a child or two of her own. And Iharu would be completely on board with how tight he and Reno are. Reno wouldn't quite know how to feel at first, but after much discussion the plan goes forward.

Whether it's a boy or a girl, I think they'd name the child Hikaru~

Narumi x Rin

How do I put this... I think they'd be racing each other to the grocery store pharmacy for some Plan B >.> Narumi gets a vasectomy after their first broken condom scare.

They're both so focused and proud of their careers in the JAKDF, I can't see either of them wanting kids at all. Narumi is good with kids of course, but he strikes me as more of a big brother or uncle type... never a dad. He is likened to Isao who did become a father... but lsao wasn't exactly winning any Dad of the Year awards, so it's hard to say. Rin also feels so much like a cool aunt to me - I'd really like her to stick to her guns even when everyone around her is having kids. Maybe things would change over time, but for now I think they're not interested in the slightest. It's also just nice to have a couple that's happy being child-free, choosing to focus on work and each other instead! Everyone deserves to be happy as they see fit ^^

All that said, I do think they'd donate generously to various orphanages and relief funds for families affected by kaiju attacks given Narumi's background. They want to help, they just don't want to be parents.

Aaah, that was a lot!! I hope folks enjoy my little thoughts, but also, feel free to enjoy your own ideas if mine don't fit your viewpoint!! I'm just rambling as I like ^^;;;
