A pass, huh? Sometimes, maybe -- and really, that alone is testament to Seventeen's sense of mercy. After all, Picc does make an awfully cute face when he's thinking hard...

Relationship asks!! # 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 20, 21, 36, 39, 45, 48! I realize this might get a little long but I want answers for both Keller and Midlaw hehehe

hadley lovely you're so right this was long af 😭 so I split this into one post for Keller (this one) and another for Midlaw (link here!) but without further ado, let's jump in! tagging the other op anime girlie @auxiliarydetective bc I don't wanna spoil the others

1. How did they meet and what were their first impressions of each other?

Sabaody arc, when the Heart, Kid, and Strawhat pirates leave the auction house and they're surrounded by Marines. Killer jumps in and takes out one of them just as the man is about to attack Kenji's unknowing back; cue Kenji's eyes widening like dinner plates watching Killer land on the ground in slow motion and Killer thinking wow this guy is so dumb (affectionate) like my captain when we were young KID TF ARE YOU TOYING WITH THESE MARINES FOR WE GOTTA GO-

2. What kind of dynamic do they have with each other?

smartass x dumbass, sunshine protector x sunshine, "I'd die for you" "who said you could die??? WHO SAID YOU COULD DIE KILLER I NEED NAMES"

3. What do others think of them?

Kid is like ???????? at Killer's choice of a boyfriend, but Killer's taste is all his fault because Kenji like him in some ways (much to Kenji's horror but we'll get to that another time) and Killer is basically programmed to like that type; the other Kid Pirates, after grilling Kenji about his intentions of their beloved second-in-command, are pretty supportive of the two; Mari approved of Killer before they even got together; the other Strawhats also become fond of him, Franky and Usopp are the (joking) exception since both of them had to put up with Kenji ranting about Killer's weapons for weeks after Wano, Jimbei is the fishman Kenji goes to ask about having a crush and it’s very fluffy, then Brook, Sanji and Chopper pop in and it dissolves into teasing jabs, Robin mentions offhandedly to Nami about Kenji’s not-so-subtle attempt to ask after Killer in the day’s newspaper and Nami is iffy on whether the other pirate is good enough, but keeps those thoughts to herself until she can access Killer’s potential herself. Zoro pretends to be asleep through all this but he’s glad that Kenji doesn’t know about his fight with Killer as Kamazo (and has no plans of telling him that), and Luffy’s just glad that his crew is getting along with Jaggy’s

5. Is their joint future bright or bleak?

uhhhhhhhh... ideally yes. but it might have to change for canon events, but I do think they get a happy ending

7. Do they have a desire to protect each other?

YES. Killer is of the opinion that Kenji can't fight, and although that's objectively Not True, Kenji's combat levels are a lot lower than Killer's, so when their crews fight together, Killer tries to keep an eye on Kenji. Kenji is also fiercely protective of his Kil, so when anyone makes a snide remark about Killer's time on Wano, the poor sod has to face a very angry red ball of fluff (Kid) and a similarly furious, gun-cocking blacksmith

10. Who would win in a fight?

Killer. no diff, if they're forced to fight (which would be the only scenario either of them would raise a weapon at the other), Kenji would be out without question

12. Who is a better caregiver?

it’s a close one but Kenji. Killer is good at caring for everyone but himself, but Kenji is a firm believer of "you can't take care of anyone if you don't care for yourself" so Kenji is the deliverer of sunshine and smiles, and he's mentally okay while doing it!

15. Who has better fashion sense?

I really wanna say Kenji because he is the crew's secondary fashionista (behind Nami but before Sanji), but I believe that Killer's polka dot era is going to come back and that Killer was iconic af. so for now it's a tie

20. What's the worst thing about them teaming up?

Killer would constantly check up on Kenji, which could impact his focus and allow the opponent to get some hits that normally Killer could block. Killer's checkups and possible injuries could also affect Kenji's aim, as he might abandon logic and charge at the enemy without even loading his guns

21. What's the best thing about them teaming up?

if Killer does close range combat while Kenji takes care of mid-range, with both of them equipped with a talkie-walkie version of a transponder snail to communicate, then they could deal some serious damage to anyone facing them. other than the battlefield, they're also a pretty fire duo when it comes to making drinks (Killer watches in loving astonishment as Kenji comes up with the weirdest mixes that always turn out delicious); if both of them + Sanji are in the kitchen, the crews just know they'll be eating and drinking well

36. What is a gift one would give to the other?

Kenji would give him little metal decorations like bracelets or brooches with his mask's design integrated into the pieces. Killer would buy fun trinkets when the Victoria Punk docks on islands to show his boyfriend when they meet again

39. What's an inside joke they'd have together?

"when will Kid and Mari and Trafalgar finally kiss, I wonder?" "my sister has WAY better taste than those ruffians, Kil" "Ken, I'm one of Kid's 'ruffians'" "but you're the best ruffian to ruff, and Mari doesn't settle for anything other than the best, so she's definitely not getting with Jaggy or Tra-guy or both of them"

a ton of angst, lots of yelling, and three confessions later...

"so..." "don't. just lemme mope in peace, Kil"

Killer never lets Kenji forget this. it later becomes a joke that Kenji is actively terrible at predicting romantic relationships and he has fun making the wildest matches ever

45. If one of them was in trouble, what would the other do?

look... all I'm saying is if a guy named "Massacre Soldier" Killer has a boyfriend who apparently once used a person's blood to make his bullets, I would think twice before trying to hurt either one of them. rip(ieces) to those who do otherwise but I value my life

48. If they swapped bodies, how would they handle it?

first, Kenji would claim this as the reason why Mari should leave Law (Mari's typical poker face nearly breaks at the sight of big beefy Killer waving his arms around in typical Kenji fashion); then he'd get Killer to teach him how to use his Punishers, which leads to Killer strapping the blades to Kenji's body to prevent Kenji from hurting himself, which leads to a pouting Kenji, which leads to Killer petting his own head (wow Ken wasn't lying his hair really feels nice in these hands), which leads to Midlaw & co stifling their snorts at the sight of a (compared to Killer) smol twig of a guy stroking back the hair of someone twice his size that practically has a raincloud over his head. let's just say that after this, Law had to endure quite a few dirty glances and passive aggressive remarks from his brother-in-law for a while

give me a number + relationship and I'll tell you something about that relationship!

Have no fear, Zoey vs Caprico is already slated to happen in Girlbosses vs Manwhores since they were the 1st place contestants in the Shining League 😁

Another headcanon: Following from early comics, my Wade is very sensitive about showing his face and will actively freak out to cover it if his mask is off around people.

[gone-deibreak]

this is what i call character development:

to this:

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

((A small Andre headcanon:

Andre is well versed in Goetian/Royal politics and can play hard ball with the best of them. He views such matters as akin to a game of chess (which he was well adept at), and while there are days he does enjoy the game, there are many more days where he is left exhausted. This is because such games create a lot of stress and anxiety, and despite his calm, calculating facade, Andre feels the stress and anxiety strongly.))

"You always tend to disappear when you are supposed to deliver my Chappy merch!

This one is going on your house, Urahara."

Appearing and disappearing as mysteriously as possible was an inseparable part of his charm. What typically would consist of a coy little reaction cushioned by a dismissive click of tongue and expression far too mysterious to be called 'clueless'. His brief commentary accompanied by a shrewd curl of thin lip-line, '' I can assure you it wasn't on purpose and certainly has nothing to do with me ignoring your calls on purpose during holidays in Sardinia. '' Yes, he was there without telling her.

'' /I/, in fact, planned to deliver it to you right when I'll come back. Plus, and additionally for you - I thought you'd be happy if I brought along a little souvenir. '' - also for you.

i still don't know about an actual fc, but what i can say for sure is that ash has a very similar face / facial structure to ichiban kasuga, of yakuza 7 fame. for whatever that's worth 💁‍♀️

@adsevel : " Don't tell me 'stop'. You know you want it. That you need it. " [ geto <3 :) ]

ㅤ𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐔𝐃𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐔𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 ill-timed and warned of approaching crisis. These two ... they mattered to him. Suddenly a retrospective image flashed through his mind-scape; Mimiko and Nanako clinging happily to him and calling his name. Where first instinctively tightened expression distortedly soured ... no. ' Hey you two, the air is getting bad here. You should go back inside and keep your eyes peeled as you go. ' Jinta and Ururu looked at him in confusion first, then at one another, but without second ados, they would listen in the end and haste safely within the walls of the shop.

---

Second.

Second special grade and 57 other semi-grades ranked 2 and bellow ... all in one day. That was it for him, limit trespassed. To ease dreadfulness of the situation and summarize it humorously - he felt like sh*t. Geto knew very well one more exorcism over his limit will leave a mark, that's why this whole time he profoundly ignored another curse tailing after him across the city until its new target was supposed to become Jinta and Ururu. He shouldn't have been here at all and certainly should not have done that, especially, when he knows what it does to him but -- [ ... ] Tendrils of discomfort shot through his throat and scalp in order to obey necessary contumacy charged down the slope and pause. A fit of tremble, like delirium tremens, upsets the composure of confidence and throws off balance a blissful wish for feigned distress. His throat muscles tightened in compulsive terror, aware of what should / has to happen next.

Bit by bit ... with back pressed against the outdoor wall he slouched down behind the shop. Focused diligence failed to redress genuine grievances where the very walls of psyche have been damaged by some otherwordly mighty force. A minute. He needs just one full minute to re-collect his scattered sentience ... In spasm-like convulsions, orb pressed against quivering lip-line debilitating his continual imaginary all tiresome and hollow. There was another presence, but at this point, Geto was hardly perceptive enough to pay heed 'ward adamant bravado of benevolent wisdom coming nearer in distance of time.

Just when lips reluctantly parted between elapsing seconds to take in and absorb, something else replaced cold, glassy surface, something softer, sweeter ... a whiff of fresh air with resonance of strange energy ... plucking him from the suffocating embrace of nothingness. The cultist's hand was stopped by another. Rot waned away, and his senses were re-filled with taste of spring. Reassurances laid upon Hades' pedestal enkindled bewilderment behind disciplined cages of facial expressions. Someone did not let him swallow the shimmering black-gold. There was no space for grandiloquence or to be surprised but be he in better shape, he definitely would be. Black pearls now full of abyssal void bared in no anticipation, yet in a fluttering blink.

? '' ... '' Mutter falls lightly in mutual orbit. In accordion responding to what beckoned him with weak yet, firm low voiced semi-growl, " stop. " How dare you be soft to me like that. The ridge fell sheer, in steep crags and a distraction of the day couldn't dilute vastness of kaleidoscopic strobe.

" Don't tell me 'stop'. You know you want it. That you need it. "

He felt shiver whispering through him, jovial voice heavy in his mind. But these words did not stop hovering restlessly inches away from his face, so the manipulator's breathing grew shallow. Kisuke's contributory to silken purple of virulent vices left no demand to linger, instead lengths of low timbre's subtlety tried to soothe heft of his state.

ㅤ

'' You don't understand ... , '' he finally utters after a short pause until a self-derisive chuckle sails mistly from his lips, '' you should not be near me when I am in a state like that. ''

ㅤ

This wasn't even a matter of pride or wounded ego anymore but dangers of what he could do while unhinged. Locked for hours indulging in grandeur of destructive enormities until the feeling passes away - that's what should happen, not this. The merchant had no idea what is he fueling right now ... but it seemed like it did not matter to any of them anymore. He was just trying to help; with anything anyhow, but it was nearly impossible. No one could help him, except for himself and time. Still, it was a gesture of utmost kindness ... Mindless nebula taking over him once again. A drop of invisible scarcely latent, crimson thread carefully woven in a trice of giggles and controlled by feminine hands that unleashed anchor into dark waters not to embed stay but puncture sternum and pull closer one coronary artery to another; until grand collision happens in all its foul magnificence but till full reparation. Stirring astounding unreasoning and adrenaline surging through rattling bones and loose heart shaking feverishly in ribcage, such promising resolve hankers after electrifying intimacy as if it is the only salvation but alas! by the skin of one's teeth - solely a grinder for naked knife.

Digits intertwin in an acrimonious gesture of incomprehensible language with black haori clothing the Shinigami's shoulder. Instantaneously trying at first to maintain their separation at bay, but the hardness of his unrelenting grip gradually lost its dexterity and softened.

Lava rooted to the spot without binding nor fighting.

When adequate time occurs he will proceed with greed; for he still planned to swallow the special grade cocooned in his palm. Geto just needed a minute, but at the same time he understood the other would not let him have it, not yet, not now. Not until he's ready for it.

In the wake of resounding enormity of his own desire and faltering momentum of self-perception, masonry to provide continuity between new and old remembrance no longer firmed spinal support and produced space for bad decisions or best. A decision with slight possibility he won't remember a thing if his mind falls victim to blackout. In the loops of perpetual incapacitation, Kisuke reminded him how to breathe again. Perhaps, he might listen to him today ...

He inspires drawing in a full and deliberate inhale. It would give the Sorcerer but one grain of the mountain but he dives back as if in fierce competitiveness with his lungs, pursuing this new catharsis with breathless haste. Joys that were so trifling for one would terminate continual fainting for another.

But until again he is out of oxygen Geto decided to give in to the trickery just as endless. Until the hand holding orb lowered and was no longer a priority within his scope of attention.

My god if I could easily run two blogs at the same time I'd adoringly set up one for Jeremy B.rett's Sherl.ock Hol.mes.

He has always been MY Holmes and Jerem.y? He could fling me off a cl.iff and I'd thank him.

“ ah, here’s our star for today, hello tama-chan! ” quick was the young class president to sink to his knees upon being approached by the little one, allowing his height to match with that of the younger’s. weekends for the kojima boy normally meant advanced studying, leisure reading or a couple of rounds playing tetris, but on this particular saturday he found himself in the home of his classmate chihiro, heeding her call for help in babysitting her niece. he didn’t mind though, he didn’t mind at all! he has a little sister too whom he has been taking care of since he was seven! 

while the older girl went deeper into the house, satoru found himself entertaining tama. “ oh yeah, I brought you something … ” a palm reached into his bag, only to soon come out with a beige-hued little box – a limited edition chocolate snack he had specifically bought for his classmate’s niece. “ tadaa! remember to give your otousan and obaasan a few pieces of the chocolate too, alright? i’m sure they’ll like it as much as you’ll do ” following a lighthearted chuckle, a palm was raised to gently pat the younger’s head. 

“ i know we didn’t get to play last time because we were really busy studying, but now the tests are over and your obaasan has invited me to help her watch over you … ” cue in the childlike wonder that glinted against blue grey hues. “ what do you want to do today? shall we read stories about mermaids, and dragons, and princesses? ooor how about let’s spend the afternoon baking? it’s your day today okay, tama-chan? anything you choose to do, i promise your obaasan and i will see to it. ” / hehe here’ mr. fancy pants at the ready to help babysit little tamaa!! (OMG TAKE 2 BC i accidentally sent this ask from chihir.o ALSDJF A 😂)

HE'S HERE ! HE'S FINALLY HERE ! ! !

She has been waiting for this for years ! ( Actually, it's been a week or two at most but for a small girl like her, time goes slower than usual. She's mainly being DRAMATIC though ). This encounter was written in the stars, fated by destiny, and predestined by the gods from above. The time has come for the Aoki's so awaited visitor to make an appearance. Welcome, SATORU KOJIMA !

❝ Chi-chan, he's here ! ❞ She had spotted him from her place right next to the window, watching birds fly by and people crossing the street. That proper uniform of his didn't go unnoticed for the little one, with his carefully groomed hair and his every day backpack with what she presumed, books. A small wave goes his way before she strolls down to her auntie's room, knocking excitedly to announce his arrival. ❝ Sato-chan will play with us today ! ❞ Play ? Well, that's how she sees it anyways. His job could be described as babysitting while Tomoya was away working, a favour between classmates, and the opportunity for their daughter to open up her little world and meet new people. Chihiro trusted him and by that logic, they do too ( not just anyone manages to make their sister talk for hours non-stop ).

A second knock is given, followed up by a giggle as she hops her way to the door ( almost slipping a couple of times in the process ). There's a ring from the doorbell and the little miss doesn't waste a second on opening up. ❝ Welcome ! ❞ She gives a light bow as taught, courtesy is something to always have in consideration no matter how eager one is. ❝ Come in, Sato-chan. ❞

Today will be just perfect ! They could play with her dolls or read a story, maybe even watch a movie ! Why not the three of them ?! Oh her mind was coming up with more ideas and she's not even sure where to start but before that. . . ❝ CHOCOLATE ! ❞ Emerald hues light up at the box in hand, jumping with delight as the sweet smell coming from the gift invaded the room. Would be impossible to hide them from her father, she might as well SHARE some of it when they get home. On the other hand, Chihiro was without a doubt, getting lots if that's what she wanted. ( FAVORITISM ? Perhaps, but papa can buy their own chocolate so that's alright ). ❝ Thank you. ❞ Again, manners are essential.

❝ What I want to do. . . . ❞ She has to choose. . . that's difficult when all of it sounds like fun. Think, Tama, think ! ❝ Hmm. . . I want to do. . . ALL OF IT ! We can play princesses and bake a cake ! And read stories of pretty mermaids and watch a movie ! And draw together and━━ ❞ Well, good luck SATORU.

[If Ganondorf was a thorn in the Hylian monarchy's side, Nabooru was at least a dagger, and that makes me laugh.

Before he escalated things, Ganondorf was playing the strategy game. The "earn their trust, play along with their stupidity and ignorance, and turn on them later" game. The same game the chief before him had to play, though she didn't do it for the same reasons, obviously. He had to hold his tongue, laugh at his or his people's expense, and play the part of the loyal subject, just happy to be included and not ruling over a tribe of corpses. While he certainly spoke his mind when he felt it necessary and was disgusted by the charade, he was still likely careful. Calculating is probably the more apt term. It was a constant mental game of what he could get away with, what seeds could he plant and when, etc.

Fast forward to Nabooru taking over as chief. She's not there to play games or fool anyone. Joining Ganondorf on some of the diplomatic trips to Hyrule Castle gave her enough experience with the Hylian court to know she had no interest in pussy footing around their preconceived notions of her, the Gerudo, or their former king. She doesn't hold her tongue as she would in the past, sometimes on Ganondorf's orders rather than her own censorship. She's in charge and she's TAKING charge. Part of her knows it's a bit of a gamble, considering plenty in Hyrule are highly suspicious of the Gerudo, thinking they'll try to avenge their king who they believe they worshipped as a god and finish what he started. Zelda becoming queen was likely a big help, too, because I imagine she, unlike her father, demanded her council treat the Gerudo and Nabooru with the same respect they give her since she is the chief of her own people. Communication and actual attempts at solid alliances were also more important to Zelda...especially since she saw her father's flaws in ruling first hand and the problems that caused.

Basically, Nabooru didn't play for the most part. She by no means stoked the fires of war or anything, but she wasn't going to pretend to be and stand for anything she didn't, either. If she didn't like something that could hurt the Gerudo, she was VERY vocal about it.]
