One of my favorite things about Xander is the way he just keeps adopting people. Xander tries to be stand offish but then he sees someone a bit childish and immediately adopts them. Besides his own siblings, he also picks up Peri, Laslow (in the beginning of their relationship), Veronica in Heroes, and Takumi in Warriors.

If you haven't seen the Takumi and Xander support in Warriors, definitely look it up. It is really interesting to see how Takumi responds to Xander's approach to getting him to not over train himself versus Ryoma's approach to getting him to not over train himself.

HE'S A BIG BROTHER AT HEART!!! and in every other way ghdjfsjb i think abt how he just started hanging out with veronica in heroes all the time. and that support with takumi was sweet!!! of course it was about training, these dopes. something i rly like abt xander is how readily he'll talk abt his failures sometimes--in a way that he recognizes they helped pave the path leading to where he is now. and relaying those failures to others to try and help (in this case, to takumi) is just. SO big brother of him. ;w; onii-san!!!!

#i actually have some stigmata lore i can give u that relates pretty much directly to this #and it's that in early drafts leo wasn't there/showed up much later in the story #and my plan was actually gonna be that xander does start latching onto takumi in that older brother way (takumi reminding him of leo)#and takumi was gonna be like--essentially: affection? disgusting.............. do it again #ghsjgjsfnsndb #ultimately they were both gonna be weirded out by it but also kind of appreciating it lmao #BUT then leo got added and so things changed and i decided to be self indulgent and continue with my laslow-takumi bestie agenda #which probably would've happened anyway but to a lesser degree bc that would be a LOT of attention on takumi #(which he deserves. but still. gjsjfjsfh)#dots answers asks #antivanwine14
