Xanxus' mother: Your father is someone very important, I will bring you to meet him, and this is totally not because I'm about to die and never to be seen in the story ever again, and here's a keepsake from my favourite thing, for you to hold on to and ponder over alcohol.

Xanxus:...

------------------------------------------------

Timoteo: Hello, child. I am absolutely your father. I am the boss of the undisputed most powerful mafia family of the world and starting now, you will be living with me, I will provide you with the best of everything, you will grow under the best tutors and a silent weight of expectations, you will never want for anything except my attention and acknowledgement as I hold you at arms length, and make you feel like you're always on the verge of failing a test you don't know the details of.

Enrico: Hi, I am your eldest brother that will actually be taking care of you and who will provide the majority of your emotional needs, I will see past your feral cat behaviour and be undaunted in reaching out to the scared but fiercely loyal person you truly are.

Massimo: I am the temperamental second brother who will always loose his cool with the slightest provocation but have and will continue to throw fists with those who question your place, especially the ones in all those stuffy parties and galas we are required to attend all the time.

Federico: I am the cool, perfectionist older brother that will hold you at arms length like our father but secretly want to approach and just do not know how to, and we also might have gotten on the wrong foot, but I eventually help you in your studies and adapting to our noble- er, high class mafia life since our eldest brother is too busy with preparing to inherit father's position and I wish to lighten his responsibilities.

Xanxus: Hi-

Enrico: I will die and upend the life you know so far, your Great tragedy but only a precursor to the secret that will crush your heart and trigger your downfall as you question your identity and purpose.

Massimo: I will also die.

Federico: So will I. If only you can regress to a time we are all alive and you can do it all over again. But it's not this plot.

Enrico:...... Maybe.

------------------------------------------------

Xanxus: So the Academy -that only accepts mafia-born or mafia-sponsored students- are having a tournament, and the parents and alumni are allowed to watch the spectacle.

Enrico: Look at that silver-haired sword-wielding boy taking down his opponents and quickly advancing through the brackets, he is strong and quick and decisive and seems like someone that will swear his life, specifically his arm, to someone that impress him by their ambition and steady belief in themselves.

Massimo: He's really good.

Xanxus:.... I suppose.

Federico: Let me introduce to you to Dino Cavallone, who is your peer and share many similarities with you, including the fact that he cannot look away from the rabid silver-haired swordsman. I encourage you to attend the tea parties he hosts though I know you will not actually do so.

Dino: I am from a doomed and disgraced family but I will raise it to yet unprecedented greatness, so you will take note of me but will otherwise ignore me.

------------------------------------------------

Mammon: I am a mysterious hidden ace character of unknown age but at least older than your father and appear in the form of an avatar of cuteness, I was only briefly mentioned in the original story but am actually more than meets the eye and since you amuse me I will stay around you and watch over you and drop random helpful tips while also needling you, for my amusement, all the while demanding tribute be paid to me by chocolate and money, and inevitably get attached to you. And don't worry, no one else can see me if I don't want them to, and I speak to you through telepathy so you can ask me secret favors. Also my powers are currently limited due to reasons, so I may choose to hold back at certain times to help you grow and save it for truly life-threatening moments. And sometimes impart to you emotional lessons that help you mature.

------------------------------------------------

Bel: I am the token little brother figure to be both cute and not so secretly scary.

Lussuria: I'm always all out to make you look the best in those stuffy parties you are required to attend.

Levi: I am the overly loyal butler henchman.

------------------------------------------------

Squalo: So you are actually adopted and have no claim to the inheritance of Vongola, and because of your previous actions have essentially been disowned by Don Vongola, and left with practically nothing, while the legitimate heir, the one considered over you who'd been raised to fit this position, is actually a no good civilian who knows nothing of this world and stutters and stumbles over his feet. This is unfair and I, as your loyal friend who has stayed with you and waited for you all this time, will help you reclaim your rightful place, use me as the sword of your will and I will do anything to get you where you want as long as you want it, even at the cost of my sanity and morals.

Xanxus: You don't have sanity or morals.

Squalo: Fine, then my other arm. Happy, fuckface?

------------------------------------------------

Reborn, for some reason holding a handbag in the crook of his arm: Stay away from, Viper. You don't know them, you don't know what's best for them.

Fon: *standing silently behind Reborn and handing him an envelope.*

Reborn, sliding the envelope on the table between them: You don't need me to explain. We've tolerated you long enough but now that we're free, Viper no longer needs to be held back by you so they can meet a proper Sky.

Xanxus: No. That's not for you to decide. Not for us. Mammon can be whatever they want to be, and follow whoever they want to.

Reborn: *cocks his -water?- gun*.

Mammon: *stops Reborn with a tendril wrapped around his wrist* Muu, what is the meaning of this.

Fon: We only want to do what's best for you, Viper.

Reborn: He's not good enough.

Mammon: No one is good enough for you.

Reborn: Well, obviously. We've preciously and carefully raised you and you'll just settle with this?

Mammon: You don't know him. You don't know what he's done for me, you have no idea what we've been through.

Reborn: But-

Mammon: It's true he's not what you envisioned, but I don't care, he's fine just the way he is.

Mammon: Also, it's Mammon. Let's go. Boss. *grabs Xanxus by the hand and storms out of the Mafialand Cafe they tracked them down to*

------------------------------------------------

Xanxus: Oppa- I mean, fuck! Squalo come here dammit!

Squalo: What? Did you lose your favourite branded set of clothes again?

Xanxus: No.

Squalo: Do you want the chefs to prepare a meal with your favourite wine?

Xanxus: No- Oi, listen. Don't you think something's weird with my life.

Squalo: Yeah. After all if you were anyone else, you'd probably be dead at this point.

Xanxus: No I don't mean the mafia part. Hmmmmmmm.....

Squalo: Well, I mean it is strange that after a life altering incident you've eventually settled in this quiet and peaceful-

*Bang! Goddamit get back here Bel! Mammon stop him!*

Squalo: -out of the way place and not concern yourself with the heart of the chaotic events, doing what you excel at. Which is killing.

Xanxus: You're right, nothing's weird.

Extra:

Xanxus to Tsuna: Ah, so you're the main character- I mean the true heir of the Vongola, and I also see you have your own Avatar of cuteness.

Tsuna: Please don't call him that.

Reborn: He says it how he sees it.

Kind of got carried away but you see it, right? Can't stop thinking about that post saying Xanxus is the villainess in manhwas.

HEY QUICK

[katzkinder]

Semi minor rambling thoughts about… A few things, mostly relating to Timoteo.

Adults can try to do their best and still fail. It is human. The tragedy of Xanxus’s situation isn’t that he was harmed, it’s that he was harmed despite Timoteo’s best efforts to raise him as his own

He is a man who was presented with a child with a deadly and powerful ability and took that child in. He is a man who is both a father and the leader of an empire. He is a man who has to strike a balance in his own household between loving his family and raising them to take his job

He is a king, and he really doesn’t want to be

In the least charitable reading of his character, he took in a boy and lied to him because he was fearful of his power. This is the way Xanxus looks at what happened to him. Xanxus is an unreliable narrator. We are shown very often that his words and actions are often at odds.

A reading that takes into account both Timoteo’s position and personality is one where he saw Xanxus and realized the safest place for him would be directly under Vongola’s roof, because he is a child and he only has his mother and he is already in possession of something many many people would want, and go to great lengths to get access to

And he was right because we see this happen with Octavio, who simpered and cowered and fed Xanxus’s ego in order to gain power from their association

Timoteo failed to protect Xanxus

But that doesn’t mean he didn’t try

This is in line with Tsuna’s character progression as well, where he never wants power for power’s sake, and when he does start seeking to become stronger, he undergoes a psychological block on his Flames because he is no longer drawing from the well of feeling that allowed him to use them in the first place

He doesn’t want to be strong at all

He just wants to protect what he loves

This is the fundamental difference between him and Xanxus

You can sympathize with Xanxus and his situation without turning your blinders on to the story that is being told

[seitosokusha]

and truth be told I never was yours

“We do have one option left,” Reborn said.

Tsuna’s eyes widened, his jaw slacking slightly. His grip on Reborn’s collar loosened.

“Don’t tell me…” he said. Tsuna’s expression twisted, teeth gnashing. “You always suggest the most disgraceful things.”

Reborn laughed lightly. “Disgraceful? There’s nothing disgraceful about this.” It was probably the most graceful thing Reborn had ever seen. Such beauty. Such power.

A sly smile danced on his lips. “You remember, don't you? It was after we defeated an entire enemy’s organization in a single night that people started calling us Soukoku. The ashes we left behind, everything consumed by fire.”

Reborn gestured to Mukuro. “What better way to purify a demon than the holiest of fires?”

He pulled out of his pocket one of his specialty bullets, the ones Reborn made from his Activation Ability: Dying Will Bullets.

Tsuna clenched his jaw.

“It’s your choice,” Reborn said. He couldn’t do this without Tsuna.

And Tsuna couldn’t do this without Reborn.

Tsuna pushed him away. “No.”

(Or KHR but make it a Bungou Stray Dogs AU where Reborn and Tsuna are Dazai and Chuuya respectively)

So, I made another KHR character ai chat. I really wanted to make one where I vent my anger on this one's actions. Though anyone can go into any direction they want with him.

[khr-guilded-cage]

Mood

I can tell you with full confidence you're gonna fucking hate Nono

See, I’m gonna go full feral, I know it

[frobby]

thinking about how xanxus's mom named him xanxus cuz it has X for vongola 10th...... girl idk how to tell you this but XX is 20

[hopeswriting]

remember when tsuna said "but i’m not mafia!! i don’t have an ounce of pride as mafia!!" and enma immediately said to that "you’re still going on about that? you’ve stained your hands as a mafia boss, haven’t you?"

and remember when tsuna said "and i don’t intend to inherit the current vongola" (and how before that he officially said to nono "i would like to… turn down the title of the tenth boss of vongola.”) to which enma said "hahaha, you’re still saying that. that’s just unfair of you, sawada tsunayoshi. isn’t the crest on your gloves proof of the vongola? that’s who you’ll always be. you’re at the center of the vongola, and have been benefiting the most from the vongola’s power. and then, when the going gets tough, you escape from the responsibility. wielding the vongola crest, getting others involved, hurting them, then saying that you won’t succeed as the boss. you hope too much."

and remember when tsuna immediately denied it, saying "......!! ...... no!! i didn’t mean to hurt others! i want to use this power to protect my friends! that’s how it’s been until now... and always will be!" but enma said "a fraud like primo. you liar. do you seriously think you could escape from your bloody fate?"

and remember how the vindice said "what you must fight for in this battle, is your pride!!" and reborn said "it's natural to think that they're talking about the pride of being mafia" to which tsuna immediately said "but i'm not mafia!! i don't have an ounce of pride as mafia!!" but then adel said "everyone holds a different pride within themselves."

and then, remember how by the end of the arc tsuna said "my pride is... you. my pride is... my comrades, my friends!!"

remember??

[khr-guilded-cage]

Yes. All of this. I loved this post

I just skimmed through ep 63 of KHR to find something. I have to say, I didn’t think my opinion of Timoteo could get much worse until I was reminded that he took Iemitsu’s advice not to tell Xanxus shit.

Iemitsu.

The fuck? What the hell? That man doesn’t know shit about having a healthy relationship with his son because he never sees his own! Why the hell would a man who has three older sons take the crappy, uninformed advice from someone decades younger than him who’s relationship with his son consists of infrequent contact a couple times a year, at best.

And with XANXUS! What kind of loony fantasy world was Timoteo living in that he thought this would turn out well? Did all the years of automatic respect and submission from his underlings as Vongola Nono screw up his ability to understand people or something?

(I have issues with Timoteo. Possibly bigger than my issues with Iemitsu. It’s hard to compare.)

[yarrayora]

my favorite headcanon is that because tsuna is basically a clone of primo he actually looks full-blown italian instead of japanese and it makes people assume that iemitsu pretends to be his father to protect vongola nono from ANOTHER scandal with a mistress (even though it's already revealed that xanxus is NOT his son) and that decimo clearly has no idea his mother is getting it on with timoteo's geriatric hips

(tsuna cries blood when he finds out about the misunderstanding)

[khr-guilded-cage]

it's always two dumb bitches telling eachother "exactlyyyy"

[katzkinder]

Everyone knows the young lion of Vongola is married. He never shuts up about his adorable, doting wife. But only other CEDEF members got to experience that brief five year period where he was equally as gung-ho about their child.

Eventually, Iemitsu stops mentioning his precious, cute little Tsuna, though. He stops gushing about rosy apple cheeks and stumbling firsts filled with adoration. Instead, he becomes withdrawn. Strung out. Oregano, being his second in command and the one most attuned to him, idiocy and all, asks him about it. He smiles at her, but it’s strained. It doesn’t meet his eyes. It’s not like him, forever loud, forever moving forward, a sledgehammer in human form that busts down any wall in their way. As irritating as he can be… His position, and the respect it commands, her respect, have all been earned.

It takes Iemitsu a bit to collect himself. His jaw strains, then relaxes. His grin, normally a beacon of confidence, becomes bitter as he tells her why. “He woke up.”

“Oh, boss—“

A common misconception is that an early flame is a good thing.

Really though. No one wants that. No one wants their child to be locked into their world so early. To be a danger to themselves and others so soon.

“Is he-?”

“He’s fine. Nono came out to help, but… Sky Flame.” He shakes his head as if he can’t believe it. As if he weren’t a similarly young prodigy, one who wound up in the Vongola sponsored orphanage for non-mafioso children who were fated to join, the same place they would later snatch Basil up from. “What are the odds, y’know? It’s not like it’s totally genetic.” True, it was common for Sky to come from Sky, but it wasn’t… It wasn’t a guarantee. Nobody really understood the science of it. There were just too few of them existing in the world at any time. “I’m… I’m just glad he didn’t hurt his mother…”

It’s possible. Probable even, with Primo’s blood flowing directly in the boy’s veins, that one day… Little Tsuna will inherit the title of Decimo. It’s possible that one day, Iemitsu will stand in opposition of his own child.

She doesn’t know the full details of Xanxus’s frozen prison, but… She can guess why he’s there instead of in the ground.

Iemitsu is a family man, and vongola is his family.

For its sake…

“When he’s old enough. I’ll tell him everything I can.”

Out of courtesy, she keeps silent for a man grieving the loss of a future that will now never happen.

This is what it means to be the Boss.

[scrivenger-grimgar]

I’m sorry but Visconti is so close to biscotti that I have chosen to believe that His Name Is Biscotti.

@aster-ria as a matter of fact I have :D and, considering the only one with an Italian sounding name is Visconti and that all of them have no official country of origin - also that ALL of them minus Visconti have a food theme going on, I always imagined them (minus Visconti, but he's mentioned in the rant) not being Italian tbh - which is why they are not in the rant.

I had to somehow keep it short lmao so I went with all those who we know for a fact are Italian and those with Italian sounding names lol
