#Yasir literally started as “Dan’s kid who’s always wearing an ankle monitor”

[sagdustcrusaders]

don't mind me hopping in here fashionably late but what's this i hear about fankids? 👁👁 i am Curious™ and would love to know about yours if you don't mind me asking 👉👈 jbgfgjbfb

also friendo do you happen to have discord? 👀

It was seeing my mutuals do the 🚼 fankid ask meme that finally got me around to finishing this

I’ve written & rewritten so many different replies to this post, but I couldn’t figure out how to respond so I think I’m going to stop planning things out & just let it all flow

First things first, HAVSSBSB holyshit thankyou for the ask. I don’t mind at all because now I have an excuse to mention them

ALSO DW about being late with this. Caus I mean.. better late than never?? Idk do people still even say that?

Ever since this one line Dan says in the English dub about having seven kids, I’ve decided that it would be really really funny if I just… gave him that

BUT. The issue is that designing seven fankids & giving them their own unique personalities is h a rd

The only one I have decently figured out is the oldest son, Yasir, and that’s okay because I cherish him even though I haven’t decided on a design I’m content with yet but shhhhhhhh

(Quick heads-up: a lot of developing fankids stuff happened when me & a friend were obsessing over this restaurant AU. So a lot of details are centered around that)

Yasir’s great tho. Darling son boyo. Please ask me about him

Idk where to start if I’m being completely honest. I have several ideas for a “backstory” I guess?? But I don’t really want to say anything unless I’m definitive about it

He’s pretty dense but not dense enough to be incompetent. Yasir has excellent antenna and knows when a circumstance is unfavorable for him, but is too rash and impulsive on top of whatever desperation he’s in to do much without exasperating the issue

You could probably argue that all of Dan’s kids ended up somewhat materialistic, but at least for Yasir, it’s not for reasons having to do with greed or splendor. His preoccupation has to do with bouts of worrying on never having enough regardless of how comfortably he’s living & the doubt of somehow turning up short of something despite clearly owning the necessary funds

He’s incredibly suspicious of other Stand Users, and tries his best to not affiliate with them; obviously, this never winds up being the case with the natural attraction

His siblings are something he adores, but constantly will his attempts to be what he views as a responsible older brother end with him patronizing & babying them. It’s well-meaning, but how he insists on doing things for their safety comes off as infantilizing

This added onto his continual keeping other Stand Users away from them…

… this is fine

Okay buthfhdhd there was also this really dumb idea of him being obsessed with Disney’s Aladdin when he was a lot younger

And y’kNOW

(I hate Aladdin)

But alas! For the sake of son boy and to NOt crush his dreams, I have to go along with it

S hhh dw he’s just kinning Aladdin

H-he wants to be sat on a prayer rug & pulled around in a wagon

At one point, Dan tells Yasir that a decorative hookah in the kebab shop is actually a magic lamp, and this TOTALLY goes over well when customers see this kid rubbing it, continually saying that the thing’s supposed start smoking and smell funny

I love the himb, he’s son boyo. He will cut the crust off of your sandwich and you will thank him

I could go on for wayyy too long about Yasir, but I feel that I should cut it here for rn

Aaaaand with that out of the way YES I do have a Discord :D. It’s just that I’m awkward and hesitant about talking to people outside of Tumblr

Idk what it is or why, but I’ve always gotten really anxious over the thought

It’s something I’ve been meaning to get over, but just haven’t. We’re buds tho, so if you want to shoot me a private message, I can give you my Discord ID
