[oogaboogaghosttt]

alright now who's this pink haired little alien boy (this is an invitation to infodump)(only if u want)(ily)

!!!!!!WAHEEEEEE ILY ILY ILY !!!!!<33(so many saiki k spoilers below)

ok soooo his name is saiki kusuo and he was born with psychic superpowers (which means he has basically every superpower ever conceived). he was born female but changed his form to male like 20 mins after he was born TRANSGENDER WIN!!! he was born with pink hair and everyone thought it was weird and it really made him stick out so he changed the human genome so that it wasnt unusual to be born with rainbow colored hair. he then mind controlled the whole world so no one noticed the change.LOL! but yeah his powers werent that dangerous when he was a tiny baby. but they got stronger as he aged and by the time he was in elementary school he accidentally almost killed 3 of his classmates for bullying his friend and had to move schools :p when his powers started to become dangerous and hard to control his older brother kusuke (who is a genius but doesnt have any powers and is extremely jealous/obsessed with kusuo) made him some power regulators (those little things sticking out of his head) that limit his powers and make living easier in general. theyre basically disability aids bc without them kusuo literally cant move without risking destroying/killing everything around him and has to use a wheelchair. he wears those green glasses bc if he makes eye contact with someone without a barrier between their eyes the person turns to stone (think medusa), so the glasses prevent that. the glasses dont have to be green for this to work btw hes just a freak. umm what else OH YEA hes autistic like 10000%. he never speaks out loud only telepathically. he hardly ever emotes and always tries to look as neutral as possible (when he does emote its because 1: hes eating coffee jelly <- literally his fav food ever, 2: hes feeling a very very strong emotion and probably doesnt even realize he doesnt look neutral, or 3: hes making an unhappy or confused face on purpose to get someone to leave him alone). hes never affectionate once in the whole show but he helps his friends with his powers constantly (without their knowledge bc no one knows abt his powers except his brother, parents, and eventually other psychics) its also like one million percent canon that hes aroace..very awesome i loev him

ANYWAYS the show is about kusuo trying to be as normal and unassuming as humanly possible bc he hates attention. (his powers got him a lot of attention in elementary school and he quickly learned that that was not a good thing) its kind of a lost cause bc ppl in his class start hanging around him and trying to be friends with him constantly. he is literally only communicates with the people around him when its absolutely necessary and yet his friends are always talking to him whenever they have the chance bc they love him...!!! he describes his friends as nuisances and says he hates them but literally feels guilty for using his powers on them and/or accidentally causing them trouble with his powers??? even when its not his fault????? like when he wrecked their cruise ship and got them stranded or when he accidentally turned a couple of them to stone temporarily...but yeah he always ends up in the middle of some kind of situation no matter how hard he tries to avoid it.. hes very situation prone

its later revealed the whole series takes place while saiki is in the middle of trying to figure out how to stop this big volcano from erupting bc if it erupts it will destroy all of japan. hes failed several times, and every time he fails to stop the volcano he uses his restoration powers on the earth. this returns it to the state it was in exactly one year in the past. THING IS, when he resets the earth by a year he also resets everything on it by a year, which includes all the people. its basically a time loop. the only reason the everyone on earth doesn't realize whats happening is bc saiki mind controlled them and has them convinced its normal. nobody ages or changes physically, including saiki, but saikis powers continue to get stronger. this means that his likelihood of success in stopping the volcano increases every year and he eventually does stop it. BUT PLOT TWIST HIS FRIENDS SEE HIM DO IT!!!! he considers telling them the truth but he just erases the memory from their minds and allows time to move forward

ummm and at the end of the series kusuke made a thingy that could take kusuos powers away and make him normal like he always wanted. kusuo used it and was like "ok now that the world isn't gonna end by volcano and i don't have powers anymore im gonna tell my friends i had powers and apologize and stuff" but then he figured out his powers weren't completely gone. his body was still super strong (to adapt to his super strength) and he would sometimes still hear ppls thoughts and basicallyyy it didn't work lol. but also he pretty quickly learned that he was actually way worse off without them bc like. hed had them since he was born. they were literally a part of who he was. he didn't know how to function without them. and he was lowkey sad bc his life goal was to be normal but also he hated who he became when his powers were gone. they came back completely when a fucking meteor came down and almost destroyed the earth and he had to get rid of it. its kind of implied that he probably told his friends about his powers after he got rid of the meteor which YAYYY

ANYWAYS YEAH i love him he stays silly always he so awesome and cool im thinking about him a whole lot

[ruckis--rookie]

It’s that time of day again!  Time to gush about things catering to me: on this episode we’ll be discussing how Geragera and Ruckis were purposely built to contrast each other.  Below the cut of course I feel like this is gonna be a long one

SO. Let’s start with personality.  

Ruckis is a hero leaning figure that, despite being a more reserved person likes helping that of kindred souls and protecting those who can’t fight for themselves.  She’s always been a seeker of peace and justice, retribution if you will.  What’s ironic about this is that as 1 of 2 Soulshifters in existence she’s dark aligned, which you would think would combat her role and well... kind of does.  It affects the way she acts and goes about things.  She can sometimes come off as forceful and abrasive.  But that's only because she’s in a constant state of panic herself.  She’s very apprehensive, worried about the wellbeing of others but reckless when it comes to herself. She’s also very explosive at times too.   She isn’t fully aware she might be hurting someone, but if she’s made aware of it she’ll make up for it in any way she can.  The good part about this though is she’s incredibly stubborn where it counts.  What that means is if she’s fully aware that what she’s doing is right she will. not. move.  She’s headstrong and won’t bend for the wrong cause.  While she’s very careful with who she puts her full faith in, once you have it you’ve got a friend that’ll stay faithful to you til the very end.  She tries to avoid fighting when she cants because, despite her more loud rambunctious nature she wants nothing more than to vibe and as I said, keep the peace.  She strives off of positivity.  In the event that she’s overwhelmed by emotion however,it can get so bad that she shuts down completely and goes completely silent and despondent.

Now as for Gera is an absolute MENACE.  In comparison to Ruckis who is very much emotional, Gera has a really good handle on his emotions.  He puts up a cute demeanor on purpose.  it’s a guise to make you trust him.  He loves toying with people and making their day worse like its some sort of game, actively seeking out fights or means to be violent.  He’s even borderline sociopaths... there’s only 2 real positives to this which, take them with a grain of salt.  One, if you manage to make friends with him and gain his trust you have one lethal friend that would help you bury a body and perhaps even make one.  Like Ruckis, he’s also very loyal at that stage.  Two, he tends to wait and see what kind of person he’s dealing with.  Hence why he tries to gain the trust of whoever he hangs out with.  He likes going after the most horrible people and cutting their lives short first.  He’s just borderline sociopathic enough to reserve judgement and prevent any sort of attatchment from forming. But there’s a downside to that too on top of it just being a morally wrong way to deal with awful people.  In the event that he hasn’t had his fair share in blood shed and he can’t find a bad enough person to kill off, he tends to pluck off any one stranger that he doesn’t know for the sake of blood sport.  He’s a complete wild card and can sometimes turn on his allies, or as I would describe it he has a very caprice nature.  He’s usually calm and collected if not happy go lucky, but if he experiences overwhelming emotion he can become explosive and his ego kicks in at an all time high.  This is when his real ugly side starts to show up...    Oh, and did I mention he has a light alignment?  Yeah!  Danger healer.

Where Ruckis prevents fights and only fights for good reason, Gera actively starts them and is violent for the sake of having fun.  Now lets talk about powers because yes, they contrast past just personality.

For example Ruckis while not very physically skilled past being a tank and brute forcing everything, is very much magically inclined.  Creating blades of energy with her voice, making entire moutnains shake and volcanos erupt through rage alone.  Sometimes she does this on accident when she gets too heated!  If it gets so bad to the point that black clouds fill the sky and embers and ashes fall from them like shooting stars, its time to pacify her or get out while you still can.  She’s very destructive and reckless in a fight and that can also be used as her weakness.  She’s so oblivious that she won’t notice when she’s overexerting herself.   Very magically skilled, but physically enept.  She can’t even run for too long before getting winded.  But thats why she’s rather stand her ground in a fight instead of run.

Gera believe it or not does have powers!  But he lies about having them because he’s proud of his skills as a mechanic and is also very much physically capable.-  He also doesn’t use his powers out of spite no thanks to having to play catch up with magic.  He’s mad that what he spent hours making to fulfill one purpose can typically be done in one second with a magic spell, and so he spends his days proving that anything magic can do HE can do better.  However if he does choose to use his powers, as opposed to destructive powers like Ruckis has his are far more illusionist and manipulative based.  Duplication, mind control, healing flowers, plant manipulation to name a few.  The only problem with that is that he exhausts his magic powers very easily and doesn’t have that much endurance.  Physically he’s much more capable.  being fast despite his size compared to the slow Ruckis, and depending on his environment he can even reach mach speeds in some cases.  He’s much more smart and tactful when it comes to fighting compared to Ruckis who rushes in guns blazing.  He’s adaptive, and innovative.

I think the last thing is appearance which doesn’t need to much explaining.  Gera is small and cute, deceptively so.  He’s really qutie cruel and vile if you get on his bad side and he doesn’t like you.  Ruckis is big and sometimes intimidating, but truthfully she wants nothing but the best for people. Yet despite their differences they’re the best of pals, practically inseperable.  Ruckis keeps Gera in check to an extent and Gera is there when Ruckis needs it  Because Gera only shows his real self around people he cares about. he’s really quite bouncy and bubbly, devil may care.  

The only exception to ANY of this and quite honestly can be used against them is the fact that they'd do anything for each other.  In a hostage situation both would immediately break down just to save the other.  Ruckis could be swayed to do some wrong if it meant siding with Gera where he absolutely won't change his mind.  Gera could just as easily be swayed not to hurt a person and even work with Ruckis to help and protect them if Ruckis likes that person, even if he doesn't.
