One good thing abt being a kagepro fan is having an actual song written abt the characters/lore by the original creator.

Kido character introduction? Mekakushi code. Seto's backstory and how he received his eyes? Shounen Brave. Harutaka love story? Yuukei Yesterday. Ayano becoming a good big sister for the trio and attempting suicide to enter the Kagerou Daze? Ayano's Happiness theory. Mary watching all her friends get killed by a snake-posessed Konoha? Outer Science.

Yobanashi Deceive is so Kano Shuuya coded -- well duh, thats literally HIS song

Lego Monkie Kid, Mekakucity Actors AU, Who Would Be Who

Bc I've had this AU plaguing my mind for AGES, and I need to get it out and for it to plague other peoples' minds. Not a Huge Deep Dive, but just a list of who in LMK would be in the role of what Mekaku character. All of these choices are based off vibes, what makes most sense, and what hurts me the most emotionally.

MK, as Kano Shuuya:

Mei, as Tsubomi Kido:

Red Son, as Kousuke Seto(bc making trafficlight trio the og 3 Mekakushi Dan members aligned too perfectly):

Six-Eared Macaque, as Shintaro Kisaragi(bc making Mac a self-loathing, loser hikki-NEET shut-in is funny /affectionate):

Sun Wukong, as Ayano Tateyama(If you know Mekakucity Actors/KagePro in general, you're gonna wanna hit me with bricks for this one lol):

Host Girl/Baihe, as Marry Kozakura(Once again, you're gonna want to hit me with bricks for this one lmao):

Lady Bone Demon, as Azami-sama:

Tang, as Kenjirou Tateyama:

Pigsy, as Ayaka Tateyama(Third time you're gonna want to hit me with bricks):

Golden Peng, as Takane Enomoto/Ene:

Azure Lion, as Haruka Kokonose/Konoha(Just go with it, trust me on this):

Aaaaand, I have no clue who to have be in the role of Hibiya and Hiyori in this AU. I could possibly have Nezha be Hibiya, but GOD do i fucking hate the Western side of the fandom's insistence on saying Nezha is eternally 11/12, when that's absolutely wrong. If anyone who's into both LMK and KagePro has any ideas of who could be Hibiya and Hiyori, by all means give me suggestions.

Im going to ramble, this is just my opinion

I made a post somewhere about why I dislike Seto x Marry and the main reason is because it would imply Marry is a higher priority to Seto than his family because she's his girlfriend and not because she's needs the extra support/Seto is generally emotionally mature.

Someone said they ppl really do prioritize their girlfriends over their siblings and while I don't necessarily disagree, I think in the case of the mekakushi trio, it's an exception because their relationship doesn't seem to be traditional siblings, but closer.

My point is I find it very difficult to believe that if Seto, Kano, and Kido didn't happen to become legal family, they wouldn't be found family anyway. Like theyre interrelated in more ways than one, both fundamentally and personally. Fundamentally in the sense they all have eye abilities, and personally for the following reasons.

Just about everything about their childhood points the three of them as a trio from the start. They're assigned to the same room, they're all outcasted, their room is collectively referred to as "the monster house", specifically the collection of three of them. Their personalities bounce of each other, and they clearly stick together by choice from the start. Like Kido often got annoyed and mean to Seto and Kano, but why didn't she just try to find other friends?

Like, they're a trio. Like, between them and the rest of the gang, they're a subgroup within the group. Now, Marry is very distinctively an outliner. I don't mean this in a mean way per se, but you know. She's different from the rest of the gang, she's a medusa and has the queen snake, and over is 100 years old etc etc. like she inherently cannot connect with the tightknit trio in a fundamental sense the same way Seto, Kano, and Kido automatically connect with each other.

And of course, Seto, Kano, and Kido ARE family. But my point is theyre very distinctively (found) family, regardless whether or not theyre legally family. In other words, their dynamic oozed sibling/close knit vibes from the very beginning.

Regardless, the trio grew up together and share a sister (as in, Ayano) and further trauma of their new mom's death. In certain routes, (the second manga route namely) Marry IS a sister to the trio and Ayano so i do appreciate in certain routes Marry grows up with the trio too. But again, she's fundamentally 'different' and Marry and Seto connect with each other (as shown in Shounen Brave) more than Kido and Kano do with her. So my point is Seto, Kido, and Kano and nonetheless a distinct subgroup that excludes Marry. (Jeez, that sounded mean)

To be clear, yes, the mekakushi dan are very very close (family levels of close) to each other. But it'd be wrong to say some of them aren't as close as others to certain people. It's hardly a drastic difference (or I'd like to think so anyway lol) but I find it hard to believe Seto wouldnt be at least mildly closer to his siblings than Marry.

Anyway I rambled. I'll paste the original post I made I'm referring to

---

Why I Dislike Seto X Marry

So this isn't meant to be a dogmatic or aggressive post at all! Just a friendly and civil debate at most! This is just my opinion, that's what I'm trying to say :)

So yeah, I dislike Seto x Marry and... TL;DR: it's mainly because it trivializes their friendship. That's probably not clear so I'll explain.

1. Seto is depicted as a very emotionally mature, perceptive, empathetic kind of person. He wasn't like that as a kid so, logically, Seto has put in a lot of effort to better himself and become as emotionally intelligent as he is. And that can be proven by how gentle and caring he is to Marry.

However, if you're under the impression Marry and Seto are together, then it negates Seto's self-betterment because it's implying all of Seto's actions towards Marry that showcase his emotional maturity were influenced by romance and he might've not acted the same way if he didn't happen to have feelings for her.

In other words, Seto has put a lot of effort into bettering himself. To imply that some of his best showcases of it were based on feelings outside of his control contradicts his self-improvement and negates his integrity.

2. Seto is undeniably more active in Marry's life than Kido's or Kano's. To be more specific, we see him interact with Marry more often than Kido or Kano. For example, in the anime when Momo wakes up at the Mekakushi hideout and screams bloody murder, Seto immediately goes to make sure Marry is okay. Of course, you could argue it's because Marry (in this example, Marry literally collapsed but I'm talking generally) is sensitive and needs more support.

That kind of thing happens quite a few times. For another example, when the terrorist attack occurs: Seto gives more attention to Marry than his siblings. And it's true this can all be attributed to Marry needing the extra support and reassurance more than Kido or Kano. I mean, we always see Marry being sensitive and timid so ofc she's gonna need to be comforted more than Kano or Kido who are characteristically tough.

Going back to Seto generally being more active in Marry's life than Kido's and Kano's, Seto has always been depicted as a caring person. Seto has always been keyed up to have been a lot like Marry, especially in Shounen Brave and even Imagination Forest. So it's totally understandable for Seto to genuinely care about Marry's well-being and the well-being of anyone who isn't okay, such as Kano.

But, if Seto and Marry are together, then the vibe goes from "Seto wants to help out someone in need of help" to "Seto prioritizes his girlfriend over his family."

And, you know... given the family drama in the trio, it's pretty gross if Seto prioritizes A GIRLFRIEND over his remaining siblings. Marry being a higher priority because she's sensitive VS Marry being a higher priority because she's his girlfriend is... you know, a big difference. I know Seto x Marry doesn't automatically mean Seto gains that kind of thought process, but I prefer to disregard that possibility entirely. I like to think Seto helps out Marry because he's a nice person, not because he has an ulterior motive.

In other words, Seto x Marry implies Seto is more active in Marry's life than his remaining family's lives because of romance, and not because Seto is a genuinely nice person.

3. Also, technically Marry is like 140 while Seto is like 16. Not the most creative factor I guess but I figured I should mention it lol. Also, when Seto dies, won't Marry keep living and that'd be kinda sad for her… isn't that what created the daze lol. A human dating a medusa…

【KagePro】 KuroEne AU: Ayano, Ene, and Mary team up against Saeru (Alt Route)

Summary:

KuroEne AU: Ayano, Ene, and Mary team up against Saeru at the final showdown when they infiltrate into his lab (Alt Route)

Technically based on these posts: [X] and [XX]

Me: So y'know the big KuroEne AU Route I have (and alt Route versions) where MaryEne team up against Saeru when they infiltrate into his lab?

One thing I thought about that would be interesting...

A possible new KuroEne AU Route idea.

What if Ayano is involved in this whole mess.

So it's the Best Girls ™️ trio against Saeru (and it takes place before MR2).

I bet Ayano and Mary had some falling out before...

And Ene tries to encourage them to resolve their relationship.

Like I just think that involving Ayano into the equation too would be really interesting especially if she and Takane knew each other prior.

F: She would have some personal beef with him 😭 Not even some, A LOT

F: Ayano did blame Mary one time for that accident...

(Kagerou Daze: Ch. 47)

Me: Expressing resentment for Mary bringing misfortune to her family

It's understandable from her end

Usually Saeru uses Kenjirou's connections to garner resources for himself, before dumping his body to possess Konoha

But he's forced to possess Hibiya in MR2

Obviously, Saeru and Ayano have the most tense relationship cuz Saeru targets Ayano’s family and friends, while possessing her dad, Kenjirou (and planning to kill her friends and family/siblings, etc.)

Also I'm putting the chapter number cuz this helps me remember where stuff is

Me: Good god what if the 3 get backed into a corner, they're running out of time, Ene just runs off/splits off from the rest of the party and shuts them (her and Saeru) both alone in a room with him to stall him (via controlling the security systems). Like she creates a diversion and gets his attention on purpose.

F: She's taking one for the team again on this case 😭 I wonder how Ayano would react to this... And like what you said, Saeru would stay far away from the MekaDan if Ayano was alive, so KuroEne definitely meets in secret.

Me: YEAH cuz in the main KuroEne Route where MaryEne team up against Kuroha/Saeru, he pretends to be apart of the Mekakushi Dan initially and gains their trust by acting friendly, before killing everyone on August 15th (leaving only MaryEne alive on purpose)

Me: OH god yeah, in this potential alternate Route with Ayano too, Ayano would be like, "Wait, what are you...?" And then says, "STOP! TAKANE...!"

And Ene runs off or something.

And then Ayano says, "...I couldn't do anything right... I'm a failure of a big sister, and a friend... How could I let this happen?"

And Mary is just PRAYING that she doesn't feel Ene's snake return to her. Cuz Mary instantly feels when she absorbs an Eye Ability Snake if a member dies.

But Ayano tries to urge Mary to use the precious time Ene's bought them to continue searching

F: So they assumed that Ene is taking one for the team, thinking she'd be killed, since they don't know their relationship for this route 😭 Cuz Kuroha doesn’t make himself known to the MekaDan

F: What if it takes too long but Mary didn't feel a single snake returning...

Let's count, how many dirty jokes are we going to put into this AU—

Me: ADSKLKDSKLDSKL

Me: After a while, when Mary realizes that Ene’s snake is not returning to her, she would find it odd but be relieved.

Like WHAT is happening in there that Ene can somehow manage to stall Saeru for that long?

F: Would Ayano and Mary separate during the search?

Me: Tbh I don’t think they would want to split up to prevent them from getting singled out and cornered. They would stay near each other or at least be in the same surrounding vicinity) for safety reasons

An option I can see is that they go into separate but nearby rooms each time (so they stay in the same surrounding vicinity as each other)

So they can cover more ground and waste less time and hopefully so they can return to Ene right away

F: That's most likely

Me: Yeah cuz like. They probably want to reunite with Ene as soon as possible

F: But shit, she's taking her sweet, sweet time 😭

F: What if it takes too long, but Mary didn't feel a single snake returning...

Me:

Ayano: STOP! DON'T DO THIS, TAKANE...! If you confront him alone, you'll be... You'll be killed...! What will we do without you? Promise me you'll come back safe, please...!

Ene: Don't worry, I'll be fine... That's what friends are for, right? I have to do my part where it counts. Because I’m your precious friend, Ayano.

Mary: Ene's snake isn't... returning… I haven't... felt anything...? This means she’s still alive…

Ayano: (!)

Mary: Thank goodness...

Ayano: ...She's still alive... Please...! Hold out just a bit more, we'll be on our way!

F: A love pyramid in this AU 😭

Me: ADSKLKLSDKLSDKLKLS

Wait everyone loves Takane/Ene in this AU???

F: Up to interpretation ✨

F:

Mary: "Should we... check up on her?"

Ayano: "No, we need to stay away from him, he's after you, so we have to protect you at all cost."

Me: Yeah the way Ayano and Ene, and Mary and Ene interact in my AUs are honestly pretty yuri. Which makes sense considering my sapphic side's yuri bias.

I would say that it’s up to interpretation here.

This is first and foremost a KuroEne AU, but whether you want to interpret Ene’s other relationships (that aren’t 9/6) as purely platonic or shippy is up to you, since I also enjoy Takane/Ene’s multiships.

If KuroEne (and the 9/6 trio in general) didn't exist, I would be an AyaTaka/AyaEne and MaryEne main.

F: I feel like it would be too angsty 😭

Me: Yeah Ayano and Takane/Ene don't mind what happens to them, as long as Mary is still safe. They are the self-sacrificial type.

Me: YEAH IT WOULD BE WAY TOO ANGSTY...

I imagined that in my KuroEne AU Routes, Ayano and Mary are Takane/Ene's friends to make things less tense LMFAO. Cuz it’s just. OUCH.

Cuz despite everything, Ene still chooses Saeru Hebi

This mf is just proving himself right 😭 Ene chooses Saeru in scenarios where he brings himself into the picture (into Ene's life), even if other people love her, cuz he knows he can't be bested in terms of knowledge + his memories of her that allows him to know her better and more intimately than anyone else ever could

Yeah cuz Kuroha/Saeru has what NO ONE ELSE can match. The body, the face, the voice of a former love… And then his knowledge and memories of previous Routes. He remembers all those experiences, thus he knows how to satisfy his S/O’s desires better than anyone.

Me:

Kuroha: It doesn't matter if the little rabbit plays with you all. My victory is but guaranteed, anyways.

Kuroha: Ene fell into the temptation and decided to play the game with me...

Kuroha: Because this body, this face, this voice, and these memories, are irresistible to her.

...

F: YEAHHH. Also the door is locked, they can't open it in anyway-

Me: Yeah like they can't open it until Kuroha/Saeru does, or Ene herself does. And they obviously won't open it until after they're finished… their round of intimacy

F: Okay but, aftercare first at least, the bare minimum 🙄

F: “Because this body, this face, this voice, and these memories, are irresistible to her”

AUGH 😭😭😭

F: “Ene chooses Saeru no matter what because he knows her more intimately than anyone else”

Which made Ene believe that he's the only person that could understand/read her, and of course, develop attachment

Me: Yeahhh exactly. In this AU, he knows her better than anyone, even more than she knows herself. Which is true. Unlike the others, he remembers past timelines.

Me: Saeru would probably innerly note to himself that it's interesting (and expected, after all, it's just like her/in her nature to do) that Ene takes one for the team every single time they end up fighting against him.

Cuz of course both Ayano and Ene want to protect the Queen (Mary) as the (mentally) older ones. Ayano becomes Mary’s adoptive/foster older sister in MR2.

F: Which will become a very predictable pattern of Ene sacrificing herself just to able to give others more time, but he's the one willingly to follow that same pattern of falling for her bait sooooo

Me: YEAH and he can just... plan ahead the longer these Routes go on. He knows what to expect

I don't think Ene will bait him in this EXACT way every single time

She'll run out of things to say if she keeps stalling him via asking questions

I think she should have different ways to stall him too. I do think she understands the importance of thinking "outside the box" and trying to come up with new and interesting ways to stall him

But ngl I do think that baiting him via intentionally indulging in pleasures with him, would stall for the others. So Ig it's... reliable lmfao

But it's still not guaranteed cuz again he could just pull out a gun after they're done their intimacy

F: True, like he could just kill her at the end if he's bored, but this "stunt" occupies him for a bit

Me: RIGHT cuz like killing her won't do much anyways since it's nearing the end of the Route… Might as well indulge in pleasures with her before the world ends!

F: Yeah, Mary can just rewind, "All requirements are fullfilled, now I can just get handsy with wife heehee" ahh

Me: LMFAO

Also I just call them bf/gf for fun. Also just so we can quickly simplify whatever tf they (KuroEne) got going on in my AU writings

Dialogue Script Rough Drafts

Me: Some rough draft ideas I guess

F: Meanwhile Ayano and Mary are still trying to find answers. How would Ayano react to the stacks of files about Ene's robot body in Saeru’s lab. How would she react to their entire relationship

Me: Yeah I imagine Ayano and Mary are still searching for answers. And Ene still has things she wants to ask him too. Because she's curious about his motives and reasons for doing... ALL OF THIS.

Me: Oh I feel like the moment Ayano finds those (Saeru’s files), then she would figure out that the person who gave Ene her android body is Saeru, and that they have probably been meeting in secret prior to all of this.

His files’ designs/sketches of her body are undeniable proof

Me: Oh I just realized. Ayano is probably gonna put two and two together that Saeru (in the body he's currently possessing) looks like Haruka.

Oh………………………………..

baby mekakushi trio icons

like/reblog if u save

[yuukei-yikes]

What are your thoughts on post-STR Hiyori and Haruka?

this rather became a hiyori post but hehe. under the cut

i think theyre such an interesting duo because they're considered and welcomed as members of the mekakushi dan, but they both kind of arrive late.

these 2 and ayano are the ones who spent recent time inside the daze but ayano has her whole family and i think hiyori particularly feels. weird about ayano. because they're related.

THE THING ABT HIYORI or how i interpret her at least, she's conflicted about her family because. lol she had this secret sister her parents never told her about?? she suddenly finds out she has nieces and nephews?? she runs away to the city without them knowing?? what are ayaka and hiyori's parents like to cause this reaction on both their daughters...

ok im getting a bit off topic, this isn't a hiyori analysis BUT i say this to justify hiyori being a little weird with ayano+mekatrio. i think ayano especially would try ridiculously hard to have a relationship with hiyori... she's delighted about having MORE family, especially from her mom's side since it's always been like. a secret. ayano approaches her with the big sister mindset of course

but since she doesn't KNOW hiyori, she fumbles spectacularly. ayano's overexcited approach isn't well received by hiyori's conflicted feelings about not only the tateyamas but also everything that's happened to her. idk i think it would irk hiyori that ayano just ASSUMES they're gonna get along and be best friends. i think generally, post str hiyori is more of her serious side and not so much the cheerful act anymore. i think it's there for when she's taking it easy especially around momo for example. but otherwise...hiyori's rly serious i think

ON THE OTHER HAND, there's hibiya and momo. i think thats who hiyori is the closest to/normalest to in the dan, BUT THE THING IS... hibiya and momo are already closer to each other than they are to her. ofc we can argue it with hibiya, ive always and will always choose to interpret hibiya and hiyori as childhood friends so hibiya is in fact this person she's relied on and been with for her whole life!! and they most definitely deal with separation anxiety post str lmao and share a unique bond

BUT in the trio that forms with hibiya hiyori and momo, hiyori can tell they're close. hiyori is jealous by both sides because wtf that's KISARAGI MOMO and she's my best friend :3 but she's bester friends with HIBIYA?!?!? WTF IM HER BIGGEST FAN THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. bur also... hibiya is MY best friend not HER best friend. so its double jealousy LOL nowadays hibiya finds comfort in momo rather than on her bc he doesn't wanna trouble her, he's always been the crybaby of the two and hiyori's always had to pick him up... anyways she enjoys her time with them but DOES harbor some jealousy and feeling like an outcast

ANYWAYS that's where I'd start talking about haruka. ok kind of. im still talking about hibiya and hiyori. i think hibiya and hiyori feel completely different about the konoha situation... i honestly see it being in all sorts of ways, them accepting it or them being against haruka, both having the same opinion or different, etc. BUT PERSONALLY i like the idea that hibiya is completely and utterly against haruka's existence and thinks it's unfair konoha had to go. while hiyori is more understanding and defends haruka. i think it's a huge point of division for hibiya and hiyori... not to the point of causing a fallout or anything but it's a thing they know are in disagreement about.

i think it comes from different coping methods and the different circumstances they were in. like... hibiya's more with the urgency/denial and rly acts his age about it. like with him being convinced hiyori IS SOMEWHERE and HAS TO BE FOUND AND SAVED but he also learns to let go and be open with momo. coming back to childhood friends hibihiyo i think hibiya wears his heart in his sleeve with hiyori, while hiyori acts like nothing is wrong and never opens up and would immediately assume killing is the immediate solution to someone seeing her cry. i like to think hiyori's so rough with hibiya because, and these are purely headcanons: 1. he was the one person to treat her normally and not like a princess, then stopped when he develops a crush on her 2. he is the only person who's seen her cry. so she's like AUGHHH

anyways back to the konoha thing, hibiya's really mourning him (everyone is, but hibiya is kind of an ass about it) while hiyori looks at it from a different perspective. she's like, konoha is why i'm alive he wouldn't want me to be angry. also that's ridiculous and furrowing my brow would give me wrinkles 🙄 and she knows haruka was in the daze too so she's like. i was in there too i know what it's like not to be chosen and be left behind, it's cruel and unfair. and she feels for him. quick sidetrack about whether or not the daze ppl can meet each other... apparently they can but MY PERSONAL hc is everyone can do that EXCEPT haruka because of his link to the outside world, or like ppl can come see him but he can't really go to other dazes bc he HAS to be looking through his own eyes outside at the same time so he cannot leave his own daze. as soon as saeru takes over his body and he can't see outside anymore his daze is open that's why he gets to interact with shintaro&ayano when they come get him. ANYWAYSSS i speak from a hc where hiyori and haruka never meet inside the daze but are aware of each other's circumstances. if they did meet inside the daze it just adds to hiyori having so much empathy for haruka but yeah personally i like the idea haruka was just alone for the 2(+hibihiyo timeloop he had to watch) years. its more tragic like that (gets booed)

bc of this hiyori does hear haruka out while hibiya doesnt give him A CHANCE. like really for hibiya it's just that he needs more time to understand and he just. he needs to be angry for a bit. because he's a middle schooler and being mad at everything and the world is kinda how it goes so of course hibiya needs a damn minute

from haruka's perspective he is also super attached to hibiya and hiyori. we rly don't talk enough about how haruka's access to view what konoha did means he spent a lot of one sided time with hibiya & hiyori. he's 100% attached to them!! same with the whole dan and the one sided friendship thing "omg theyre gonna want konoha not me" thing i always talk about❤️ but with hibiya and hiyori it's even more concrete because not only is he attached but!! he rly feels like he owes it to konoha to maintain a bond!! konoha is most likely the one in the passenger seat now, seeing through him... haruka is sure he wants to see hibiya and hiyori!!!

so hiyori does hear him out and find out he saw everything, even the kagerou days timeloop and idk....i think they'd bond over the konoha situation, being unchosen by the daze, joining the dan last, having people inside the dan they're very close to yet these people ARE close to the rest so they feel like outcasts... hiyori hates to (and wont) admit that she finds a kinship similar of momo and hibiya's, with haruka !! sniff sniff...they are. best friends.

i think when hibiya and hiyori visit they stay at shintaro and momo's place. hiyori is in the middle of the sibling dynamic of shintaro momo and hibiya and tbh SHES ALSO A PART OF THIS. SHE VERY EASILY FITS INTO THIS SIBLING BANTER they all act like siblings not to mention mrs kisaragi probably adopts the hell out of them so its like.literally family times. but hiyori will NEVER admit that bc 1. girl thats a lot 2. she kinda likes being dramatic. again middle schoolers be like fuck the world.. idk was that just me. i feel like hating the world when ur 13 is a pretty universal experience but maybe im wrong. anyways its a difficult age even when ur not in a timeloop so hiyoris going thru it

anyways thats to say she gets out to go see haruka a lot. so she goes to harutaka apartment and theyre ALWAYS home bc they work from home so she's like hi. im here to see ur cat. ( <- pretty true but also wants to hang out with haruka) and haruka's like :3 ok come in. and they eat and chat and HANG OUT AND THEYRE BEST FRIENDS. and hiyori even just stays there watching tv while haruka works. sometimes she wants to sleep over but is too embarrassed to ask. takane is also there❤️ ig bc of this a bond would form between them too but we arent talking abt that. but i do think hiyori's a little iffy with takane for being haruka's partner. not in the HE'S MINE way. i just think since hiyori and haruka are so close she's protective and she's like u break his heart i break ur legs😐<- from a 12 year old girl. takane would laugh but knows it comes from loving haruka which happens to be takane's expertise so she can respect the enthusiasm. but from hanging out there/finding out their backstory hiyori probably grows to like takane. but again she loves being dramatic so she still insists to be indifferent towards her. but also keeps urging them to get married. not cuz she cares abt them getting married but she wants to go to a wedding. loses all interest when they tell her they wouldn't care to have a wedding

AND A QUICK acknowledgment of hiyori having a crush on konoha. first of all i think it's funny as hell bc konoha is weird as fuck and she's like omg...so dreamy... but also it's that she thinks he's really cute, its not REALLY a crush. my friends in hs following the seniors they thought were cute kinda vibes. turning red movie when the girls all are obsessed with the guy working at the grocery store. jandkejfjejd it's just sweet and funny and since it's about his looks yeah it'd translate to haruka post str but yknow after everything that happened i dont think hiyori would be delusional abt crushing on him?? if it still happened though id think its funny. i think ayano would weaponise haruka to try to hang out with hiyori

I totally sympathize with Kido and not gonna lie, I would've reacted as badly if I were her too. Thank you for answering my question, I wonder how the reconciliation between the boys would gone if Kido was present too :0

I think Kido would come round eventually, but (in addition to a frankly owed apology) Ayano would really have to prove she's changed her mind about killing Marry and show that she's trustworthy. As Novel 7 revealed, Kido's been "burned" before by a family member trying to murder her and her sibling - so even if she's willfully blocked out that memory I think subconsciously she'd still have some misgivings.

Seto, on the other hand, may be the most protective of Marry herself - but possesses such a kind and gentle heart that I don't imagine he has it in him to hold deep grudges - as evidenced by the ease with which he did readily forgive Ayano after everything. Besides, if he didn't believe she was truly sorry or that her intentions were pure, he could always read her mind to be sure. But to him that's always a last resort and would likely rather give the benefit of the doubt.

Kano is the complicated case, I think, as it's always hard to tell exactly where his alliances lie. He's been heavily implied to be the one most enamored with Ayano, so for him to even reject her, I think it's more a matter of "not my nee-chan" than it is out of sole desire to defend Marry, as he has less reason to be loyal to the latter. Like Kido, he also has a history of being betrayed by older familial figures who were supposed to nurture and care for him - hell, he still loved his mom despite all the abuse - and it's only thanks to meeting those similar to him (Kido and Seto) that he's able to open up and recognize a toxic relationship, so he will side with his own "kind" even over his "crush".  If the other two do agree to trust her again, then he’ll likely follow their lead.

re: MekaTrio + changes

Kano: It’s okay~. I mean, Seto, when you walk around with Mary, you guys often get mistaken for siblings, right?

Seto: That’s true, but it’s a matter of whose eyes look at us. This is about whether what’s inside of me is an Onii-chan or not.

Shintarou: Actually, for starters, what does Mary want an Onii-chan to do? Mary: Onii-chans are kindhearted and can do anything. They can use magic. Seto: No, no, no, what world is this type of Onii-chan from?! You’ve been watching too much anime, Mary! Kano: You can do it, you can do it. Shintarou: Do your best, do your best. Seto: No, it’s impossible!

Mary: Seto-onii-chan.

Seto: Uh, that way of referring to me gives me a weird feeling… I wish you would drop it…

Shintarou: Onii-chans might indeed play around with you, take you shopping and buy you the stuff you wish for, but we can also do that, right? Mary, if you request it, no one will refuse.

Mary: Really? Shintarou: Yeah.

Kano: That’s indeed true. Maybe even if we don’t to go through the trouble of [ becoming Onii-chans ], we can have fun with you the way we are anytime, y’know?

Seto: That’s right. If it’s something we can do, we’ll grant it to you.

KageprOTP March Week 2> Swap 8nd day v:

[summertime-children]

A concept: Kido, Seto and Kano have a secret handshake since childhood. Since Kano and Kido started dating they kiss after a handshake.

When Seto sees it he's like "Ok, but for clarification- is this the new thing we do or is it just you two?"
