#hakuouki headcanon

[kurayami-no-ko]

I have modern au hakuoki thoughts regarding their occupations what do you think

Hijkata: overly jaded police detective

Kondo: overly sincere police chiefs

Sanan: doctor or bio professor? War historian?

Nagakura: personal trainer by day, restaurant chef by night, competed on ninja warrior once. I will die on this hill

Harada: literally don't know, stumped.

Okita: I simply don't understand this man

Saito: supernatural creature who lives in the woods.

Toudou: pizza delivery by day, breakdancer by night.

Yamazaki: overworked emt, matcha coffee addict

Chizuru: pediatrician, physical therapist, I could see her really getting into sports medicine?

Iba: is inheriting a family business

Sakamoto: sports announcer guy. Sports journalist.

Kaoru: sells essential oils and fake watches on tiktok live at 3 am

lol I like your headcanon on Nagakura. Though don’t you think Sakamoto would be more ambitious, more political or more businessman-like? He never gives off sports announcer kinda vibe.

Kazama and Chizuru headcanon

Chizuru attempts to kill her baby and commit suicide after Kazama took her by force in Saitou's route part 2

Notes: read part 1 first by searching #headcanon in my page

Notes: Again, i remind you that I wrote this during a break, so take the errors with a grain of salt. Keep in mind this is not related to my fanfic "twenty-three nights "

Context:

Before anything, she had asked the Shinsengumi to give her any of Saito's belongings that are left, and she learns that his swords were stolen, but some of his belongings are still there She wraps them in a bag and takes it with her.

It was raining when she spent hours next to Saitou's grave, and now that she was on her way back to the inn, she's all wet, and parts of her clothes are muddy. She merely wrings her wet hair, takes off her most outer layer of clothes that is muddy, holds her wagasa, and continues walking obliviously to the cold. Her steps are slow, and her head is hanging down as she is dragging herself to her destination. It's not because she doesn't want to reach the inn, but it's because of how numb she feels.

Then she chokes on all her feelings when she enters the inn and shows no sign of her emotions of hurt and pain, but still, she looks very exhausted and tired. Her expression is dark when she sees Kazama again, but she quickly ignores him.

Upon seeing Chizuru in that “dark” state, Kazama regrets pursuing Chizuru from the beginning, and he thinks to himself that if she runs away now, then he'll accept it and let go of her.

Two weeks later, Chizuru realizes that she is pregnant. It's either because her Oni healing abilities had become immune to the birth control herbs and venoms she was using or because she was not using them properly enough. The imagination of the possibility of her hurting her fetus during the last few weeks via poisons makes her stop using any recipes now, but she doesn't tell Kazama about her pregnancy.

We'll skip many details here

A few months passed, and Chizuru had been keeping up with the Shinsengumi and Kodo and Kaoru's plans. She learns that Kodo had been killing and oppressing so many people with the water of life project, and she just accepts that Kodo will probably be killed soon, either by humans or Oni. As for her brother, she wishes if and only if they could have known each other for a longer time before he turned against her. Maybe if her brother had someone like her to take care of him, then he wouldn't have turned into the person he is now.

She remembers her childhood memories, including the faces of her deceased parents and little Kaoru.

She keeps writing to Sen and receiving letters from Sen.

She knows the Shinsengumi are near their end, and she has no choice but to accept that and accept the deaths of more of her friends.

Kazama still regrets forcing Chizuru into this marriage and tries to make up for Chizuru by giving her more welfare.

However, he hopes that now that she is pregnant, then all his problems and her problems in this relationship are solved.

A few months later, she gives birth to her powerful Oni child.

Keep in mind that Kazama took Chizuru at the end of Kyoto Winds time, Chizuru was pregnant for 9 months, her baby is at least 1 month and a half now so we are now in the fourth year of hakuouki plot and the second year of edo blossoms time therefore Kazama is literally keeping Chizuru safe and the human world is falling apart and the Shinsengumi are few months before their end.

So if Chizuru runs away, then she is putting her life and her baby's life in certain danger and at certain risk, and she can't return to the Shinsengumi at all.

A feast is supposed to be held after Chizuru gives birth to her baby so they show the baby to everyone but Chizuru is not fond of such a ceremony at all and is not willing to participate with her baby. Kazama tells her it's disrespectful if they don't show the baby to the people who are willing to see it especially because they have brought gifts for her and the baby and insists that she participates and brings her baby with her. Chizuru is still unwilling to take part in the party or the gathering at all, but after Kazama's continued insistence, Chizuru finally accepts with the condition that the gathering is simpler and she stays only for a short time then leaves with her baby.

Due to her Oni abilities, Chizuru heals fast after giving birth to her baby, and their baby has a good effect on their relationship. Chizuru loves the comfortable experience of holding her little bundle, and she wants to live it to the fullest.

Keeping their newborn baby between themselves every night when they sleep has a good effect on their relationship as well.

Both Chizuru and Kazama get along better.

Chizuru caresses Kazama more and speaks more with him. She lays on top of him and caresses his face, and she is willing to have sex with him more romantically.

Kazama is not a fool. He knows that she is not passionate about him, but he hopes that now that she has a child, she completely accepts him and accepts this life, even if only for the sake of her own child.

So, after some short good time passes, Chizuru shows a darker expression again.

She is deep in thoughts a lot of the time. When she is deep in thoughts and gazes at the same spot, her expression is similar to when she was traveling with Kazama after he killed Saito and is similar to whenever she was plotting before attempting to escape or before having a volcanic fight with Kazama. At some point, when she looks into Kazama's eyes, her expression is similar to when she stabbed him during their journey.

Occasionally, her child is in her embrace, and she is staring at it while thinking. She stares with cheerless eyes when she is alone or an ambiguous gaze if Kazama is around her.

She doesn't pay much attention to Kazama's presence, and Kazama merely stays away from her since he knows she is not willing to have him close to her anymore.

He suspects that she is up to something, and from the way she looks at her baby while she is thinking, he assumes that she is thinking of escaping with her baby and putting both her own life and her baby's life at risk.

At last, he speaks with her one evening and tells her that he knows she doesn't want to be with him, but she has a child now, and she must cope for her child's sake.

He doesn't say anything about her plans of escaping.

She tells him that she has been coping for her child's sake, but she was also coping with the hope that he changes which he didn't change at all and she can't bear being with him anymore.

Kazama feels quite weary of this talk and says the three of them are just trapped in this situation, and she must just accept it and cope.

She is not willing to have more talk and only tells Kazama to leave her alone.

Chizuru's plot is to move with her baby to live with Sen in the Yase village and then probably run away from there.

Before leaving her, he tells her that if she is comparing herself and him with other men and women who have a different life than them then she must know that none of those men who she compares him with would ever do what he has done for her and her child.

Chizuru doesn't care about those words as she had developed a habit of repeatedly ignoring Kazama overall.

She has the propensity of crying again, but this time, it's for her baby. She loathes the fact that her child will mentally suffer heavily due to his parents' relationship. Like how she tried to cope but she couldn't, her child too won't be able to cope.

This time, she doesn't only consider Kazama at fault for what she is going through, but she is also considering him at fault for what her baby goes through. She believes her baby will suffer because of Kazama.

One evening, Kazama wants to speak with Chizuru again. Chizuru is not willing to talk and ignores Kazama, which irritates him. He gets mad and confronts her about her intentions to escape and tells her that even if she runs away, then he'll drag her back with himself. He tells her that he'll tie her to himself if he has to, but she won't escape.

Then he reminds her of what he said to her during their journey; that no matter what, he'll always be standing right in front of her even if she runs away, and she'll escape nowhere.

After this fight, Chizuru declares that since he never cared about the existence of love in this marriage then he should not expect her to grieve him or care if he is killed by anyone when he is outside the Kazama village because like he said it is not important if they love each other or not. That's also a un_straightforward way to tell him that his child won't care much about him either when it's older as Chizuru won't tell the child anything nice about Kazama.

While he is still angry but mute, she asks him if he thought coping is the same as accepting? She can have a passionate night with him and the next morning hear about him being killed and feel nothing for him.

Before he says anything, she honestly says she was trying to accept this life not for herself or her child's sake but for the sake of having a better relationship with him and the possibility of discovering something between the two of them but now, it is different.

Then she simply ignores him and is not willing to have more talk with him.

One thing Chizuru learned from being with Kazama is that a hot metal cools off fast like it was never dangerously hot. She knows Kazama regrets forcing her into this miserable marriage.

Kazama used to often ease his anger by having a good meal, drinking, resting, and sometimes having sex with Chizuru, but this time, he couldn't calm his mind after his quarrel with Chizuru.

Now, Kazama, feeling extremely mad, goes to one of the Kazama members who pushed him into taking Chizuru by force and encouraged some other members to do the same. He cuts him in a manner that is not deadly but painful, and the room's ground around them is full of splashed blood. Then he exits the room with blood on his face, hand, arm, and clothes. He returns to his manor with that state and doesn't clean himself immediately.

Chizuru is somewhere outside with her baby when that happens. When she returns, she sees Kazama in that state and is slightly shocked but simply ignores him.

Of course, other people learn of what Kazama had done, and soon, they guess the reason behind Kazama's act. Members who didn't approve of this forced relationship from the beginning understand him even though they don't speak about that and don't interfere. Although marrying someone that the person didn't love was common, Chizuru's state was different since she was already married to another man that she loved when Kazama started pursuing her.

So now both Chizuru and Kazama are heavily irritated.

Due to the current circumstances, it's difficult to travel to the Yase village, especially with a baby. That's something that Sen informs Chizuru in the letters. However, Chizuru is persistent in leaving Kazama village. It's not that Sen is plotting Chizuru's escape plan with her because traveling to the Yase village is not considered an act of fleeing. Anyhow, Chizuru thinks she must hold on more patience for now.

One of Kazama's main habits is having sex with Chizuru even if they are in bad terms, and he's good at practicing this habit. The night after their last intensive fight, Kazama bathes then goes to Chizuru, who is preparing to sleep and has sex with her again while their baby is sleeping next to them on the futon.

It's something he believes is normal to do as a couple as long as he had never hit her or hurt her, and it's not necessarily a way to make up after their arguments.

At last, and days later, Kazama accepts to take Chizuru to the Yase clan by himself so she is safe on the road, but their plan is to only stay there a short time so she sees Sen.

While they are staying at some inn on the road, Chizuru decides to just escape now. An hour before she makes her move, she looks at Kazama, who is smoking on a porch and says a silent goodbye. Her heart aches as she stares at him.

An hour later, Kazama is sleeping. The weather is rainy and it's nighttime. She gathers lots of stuff and wraps her baby in a thick and warm bundle before she hits the road.

She gets completely wet in the forest, and the weather is cold. To keep her baby safe, she opens her collar and keeps her baby against her own skin. That comforts the child in this distressful situation, and the child is not wet.

Kazama wakes up later and realizes that she is not in the room. Her baby is not there either, and their belongings are not there either. Like a crazy person, he jumps from his place and runs out of the inn to find them.

By the time Kazama was close to them, Chizuru was muddy, struggling to keep her baby dry, warm and clean from mud and her baby started crying, which put both her and her baby in more distress. Her baby is moving its mouth against her skin, looking for her nipple and crying because Chizuru is not stopping to feed it.

Kazama sees her from afar and cries her name, and runs through the mud to them. Utterly tired, helpless and hopeless, Chizuru decides to just commit suicide and die with her baby before Kazama reaches them. She quickly slows poison and immediately falls on the ground. She looks at her baby's face and hesitates to kill it, but she has no choice. If her baby stays alive while she is dead, then it will suffer endlessly, and she can't save herself now. She hugs her baby tightly and then tries to quickly put the poison in its mouth. Fortunately, Kazama catches them and even though he doesn't know she is aiming to kill their baby, the poison falls from her hand and away from the child as Kazama grabs her but he realizes she was trying to commit suicide because she is losing consciousness. Momentarily, he leaves the crying baby under the rain and on the muddy surface and sticks his hand forcefully in her mouth, so she throws up to which she throws up blood. Instantly, he cuts his veins deep and fills her mouth with his own blood, and she finally starts healing and regaining consciousness. Their baby is coughing and crying by that moment.

He jerks her from her clothes and demands she answer him why she has done what she did.

“This is the only way I can set myself and my child free from you.” She says, and she refuses to return with him now no matter what.

He gets mad and cries at her, asking her what has he ever done? She tells him to leave them alone.

Kazama insists that they speak when they are back in the inn, but Chizuru refuses to return with him.

He grabs her from her kimono and almost begs her to accept to return with him. As she is still refusing, he is almost about to drag her back forcefully, but the baby starts crying louder.

The baby, who was wet, hungry, and sleepy, starts crying louder. Kazama opens Chizuru's bag of the stuff she gathered to find dry clothes to wrap the child with. He takes off its wet ones and wraps it with a warm cloth. Chizuru asks him if this is the first time that he cares about his own child as she takes the child from him to breastfeed it. She looks like she is pained because she regrets attempting to hurt her child.

Kazama tells her he is apologizing and sorry about everything and promises her that he will make up for everything. Chizuru says she doesn't care, and she only and only wants not to see him again. He swears that he didn't even imagine her doing what she did.

Feeling helpless, he says he will have a big manor as big as the one they live in in the Kazama village built for her in the village so she'll never see him near her. He will never disturb her with his existence anymore and will stay away from her, which doesn't convince Chizuru.

At last, he confesses that he loves her and doesn't want to lose her even if they don't have a child.

Finally, he sighs and suggests he takes her to the Yase village where she stays with her baby, and he returns to the Kazama village as he has no other choice now but to accept Chizuru's continued insistence for separation.

For their baby's sake, Chizuru accepts to get up and return to the inn. There, she watches her child sleeping comfortably and warmly, and she completely regrets what she was attempting to do to her baby.

Chizuru is only thinking about her baby and the terrible act that she was going to do to it, and says it's the most thing she regrets in her life.

After their child is sleeping in fine warmth and they clean themselves, Kazama kisses Chizuru deeply, and they have sex completely naked in the dark room, and it's still nighttime. Later, they lay next to each other like that.

Kazama, assuming that if Chizuru stays with her child in the Yase village for a longer time, then she will never return to him in the Kazama village, asks her to change her mind, and withdraw from her decision to leave him.

Kazama asks her if she believes there is never something good he has done for her. She admits that he didn't hurt her and he was kind and caring to her, but she had been extremely tired.

He replies that they are at war after all, and one way or another, they are all affected by the outcomes. He is not exaggerating on that matter since Chizuru keeps up with the Shinsengumi who are reaching their end, and both her father Kodo and her brother Kaoru are close to the execution.

He pampers her a little more, and they have sex a second time. At last, she holds his face and smiles warmly at him before kissing him deeply on the mouth.

Of course, this is not the end of the headcanon. I just finished writing Chizuru's attempt to commit suicide with her baby and Kazama's reaction to it. There is still more to post here.

[eleiyaumei]

Just got diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Looking back on characters I loved/deeply related to, I can see why.

So here's some IMO potential/HC BPD characters:

It's the unhealthy clinging to people dear to you. It's the deep fear of losing people dear to you. It's the paranoia of people betraying you. It's the unhealthy ways of dealing with your emotions, often resulting in outbursts or self-deprecating downward spirals.

[otobabe]

Please may you create headcanons on the hakuouki boys and even kazama if possible on what they would be like if your pregnant thank you

Ahhhh I'm not sure i'm the best to ask about pregnancy HCs, but I do have thoughts on how some of the Hakuouki boys would do babysitting with you! Hope that's an okay substitution 😘

🖤Amagiri- 100% in control. Patient, practiced, kind, he can help babysit kids of any age and will be able to keep conversation with you throughout the intermingling of kids conversations and questions! You'll happily be chatting about what you want for the future while playing your third round of 'Go Fish' with the kids, get asked "Do Caterpillars poop?", and Amagiri will be able to respond eloquently and correctly (yes, a lot, in pellet form much like a small rodent), and then smoothly continue your conversation whether it be "I do hope any future children of ours could inherit my well-defined cheekbones" or "I'm excited to see you progress in your career, I'll make sure to keep dinner warm on the table during your late nights". <3

❤️Sano- He's enjoys being around kids, even if he isn't "the best" at knowing what to do with him. Still, your favorite "date", if you could call it that, was babysitting twin 3 year olds with him. Watching him trying to hide that tall and lanky (begrudgingly handsome) frame behind a kid's sized chair for hide and seek, smiling on and cheering against him as they chased him in circles around the backyard for hours, and hearing the different inflections in his voice for different characters when the four of you snuggled up for their bedtime stories, all created a lasting memory of fun and laughter in your heart!

💚Souma- Fucking it up in the least damaging and hilarious way, which all in all means he does a pretty good job as your co-babysitter, so long as you're there to help clean up the mess. School age kids LOVE him, but they also love to tease and torture him. The kids you babysit together, ages 5 &7, know damn well how to get what they want out of him and con him into playing what they want to play. Homework? No, thank you! It's actually way past the time you were meant to show up for your haircut Kazue! Where do you think you're going?? Sit in this chair! Unfortunately for him, this will not have been the first time one of the kids have snuck a real pair of scissors into the mix and given him an "asymmetrical bob" before...

🤍Kazama- Might surprise some of you with this, but read it through before disagreeing with me! Kazama is fantastic with babies. Would he admit it? Absolutely not. But they love to coo and laugh at his various facial expressions (even his 'serious' ones) as he holds them, and something about his temperament is a true baby-sleep-whisperer to them. He won't forget to slide in comments about how, "It's cute, but ours would be cuter", and reminding you that you ARE betrothed to him and this could be your future soon enough. The cutest part? When you go to put down the baby for a nap, Kazama takes them from you and, a little degradingly, tells you that he "can do it better, you can just take a rest". The walls aren't that thick, so you can hear him lowly singing a lullaby that you'd never heard before to the baby in the rocking chair next door, and you snuggle up on the couch with a cup of warm cocoa daydreaming about your future together <3

summary : just a quick rewrite of my intro post because it's been literal years and i want to reintroduce myself to you guys !

word count : 346

➵ my name is lau, and i am now studying literature at university. although i'm in my second year i would really love to officially open my asks to you guys ! i really want to get back to writing publicly and it would be a great morale booster if you wanted to request things or share your own headcanons ! i also still proudly identify as a lesbian and my pronouns are still she / they.

➵ i am, in fact, still a leo and very self-assured. i have definitely grown more confident in myself over the years and i would love to see how much i progress the next time i update this post.

➵ my aspiration is still to become a writer and i am currently working on a manuscript. i don't know when or if it will be published, but i would love to one day be able to share my work in a more professional setting !!

➵ i have, up until now, only really written headcanons about dialovers and ozmafia, but i am also very into hakuouki and love and deepspace. i would love to start sharing content about them too, and post more often with shorter content about the more general debates in the otome community. otome games have been a massive part of my life and a really big special interest of mine since i was quite young, so it gives me so much joy to be able to share it with you guys.

➵ at the moment the shows i rewatch the most are: bob's burgers, a man on the inside (this show is literally never talked about and it needs. to. be.) and uta no prince sama. i recently even started collecting some utapri merch and literally nothing could bring me more joy.

shinsengumitober day 31 - river 🏞️

Ending things off with okitas death poem:

|Until they fall,

|The darkness keeps them apart —

| Flowers and water

[apricifate]

the hayakawa family is known for their studies with medicine and for coming up with treatments for various ailments, their father a military man who passed in battle leaves the siblings to keep his name going by continuing his work as medics. this eventually leads them under orders to assist with the shinsengumi for a brief period of time - that is until a certain someone gets attached.

hakuouki verse facts for plotting purposes:

shiku is a medical professional aiding when things get bad for the shinsengumi. 

aillah is more or less his assistant, helping with wrapping bandages and other more minor health / injury-related tasks. 

shiku is quite skilled with the bo staff. he can be found training and improving his skills whenever he’s not busy doing his primary tasks. 

aillah is more on the moderate skill level and uses war fans, tessen, she can do basic self-defense but the more skilled her opponent, the less likely she may be able to hold her own. depends on the circumstance. but she does know how to defend herself and keeps her fans concealed for the most part unless she absolutely needs them. 

their father was a military man who also specialized in medicine but passed in battle before shiku took over for the family name.

they weren’t supposed to stay long with the shinsengumi, shiku was brought in for one task and aillah got attached -- so they’re staying now. 

in the SSL Timeline ( REINCARNATION BABY ) shiku and aillah both enter hakuou academy around the same time after their father’s business has them move into town.

[azeofspades]

Funnily enough, my transfem Okita headcanon wasn't born from fgo!Okita, it appeared before I even knew fgo existed.

My very first exposition to the Shinsengumi was through Samurai Comeback (rlly good manga - if you can get past the fatphobia*). I took one (1) look at Samurai Comeback!Okita and I was like

*Harada is depicted as fat in the manga and his fatness's played for laughs. Multiple times, Kondo, Hijikata and Okita get recognized but Harada doesn't specifically because he's fat. One girl says to him "[Harada] was handsome, he didn't look like that" explicitly referring to his weight. There's a bunch more fatphobic jokes at his expense over the 5 volumes but if I decide to list and analyze them all I'll just make a separate post because there's. So many

[simonetheestan]

Nagakura would totes be in a frat.

[eleiyaumei]

Another "Okita is ace" exhibit/indication:

ASEXUAL SWIMMING TRUNKS

[widemushroom]

The next headcanon that I want to write is probably about Kazama and Chizuru reuniting post Okita's route ending.

Any advice or ideas?

[eleiyaumei]

Hakuōki's Okita Sōji and BPD

As I mentioned in this post, I was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and think/HC that Sōji has BPD too.

OkiChi

Like people with BPD, Sōji is rather distrustful of people but also very scared of losing people dear to him and because of that, he keeps most relationships rather superficial (even with Heisuke and Saito). He starts off distrustful and unapproachable towards Chizuru as well and it takes a lot of her showing genuine interest in and care for him till he starts opening up and trusting her.

When Kondō dies, Sōji loses the person he unhealthily centered his whole life, identity and purpose around, it's devasting for him. After that, Chizuru becomes his replacement for Kondō. It's a healthier attachment, since she's more on par with him and has the time and energy to have a deeper relationship with him. Yet, in the CG above, he shows his fear of loss and desperate clinging onto the most important person in his life and states that he will never let Chizuru go, even if she doesn't want to be with him anymore. That's abusive and unhealthy, btw.

In his Bad Ending where Chizuru dies, he kills Kaoru and then himself, not wanting to continue living without his last remaining attachment figure.

Sōji's past

Sōji very likely developed the deep fear of losing people dear to him/attachment figures when his parents and his sister left him to Kondō back when he was still a child. The latter could have made him feel like his sister didn't love him, that he was unwanted. On top of that, the kids at the Shieikan bullied him. Until Kondō showed kindness towards him, he was completely alone.

His past also influenced his self-esteem. Since Kondō dedicated his life first to the Shieikan, then to the Roshigomi/Shinsengumi and didn't have much time for Sōji, Sōji probably thought the way to get/keep Kondō's attention was to be useful to him - first as a student, then as a Shinsengumi member. Or maybe his self-esteem was so low that he thought he only deserved Kondō's attention/to live if he was useful to the only person he deeply cared about.

(And we all know why Sōji hates Hijikata so much: Because he is jealous of him for having a deep, equal relationship with Kondō.)

[otobabe]

Omg girlie (gender neutral) I was not expecting you to include Kondou!!! If you have others you’re thinking ab def tell us!

ugh kondou is just so good!!!! and that's not just my daddy issues talking!!!

More praise thoughts/headcanons~

(from) Harada: He's infatuated with his partners, that much is certain. Especially in the beginning of a relationship (or fwb situation) he's full of compliments that make you feel like you're in the center of a nsfw fairytale, examples like "oh my god you're adorable" and "you really know how to get me going". Later on, if you express interest in exploring~ and more praise, he'd get really into praises that emphasize size differences or age differences. "I love to see your little hole taking my big cock so well", "My older man/woman/partner is so good at teaching me new things", "What a cute little princess/prince/majesty you are, riding daddy's big dick so well " (yes i am assigning sano both milf fucker and daddy kink, this is my barbie dream house)

(to) Souji: in the right moments you'll send shivers down Souji's spine with a "Souji-kun~ you look so cute like this~", praises with a teasing edge, almost on the brink of sounding degrading, can get him blushing and embarrassed from how hard he gets hearing it come from your mouth. He likes to banter and has more attitude and walls up than most can bear, just make sure if your praising him it's playful and not too serious or accidentally hurtful ;)

from) Amagiri the type to kiss you mid-moan then send you reeling with his low voice telling you "Quiet now, I want to hear how wet you are for me/I want to hear you take in my thrusts". Erotic, deep, sensual, that's the game Amagiri plays, but it comes out naturally. Nothing he says will sound like he read it from some '50 ways to get in their pants' how-to book. He's kinky, but classy, urging you on both with his words and his fingers, and it's a pleasant surprise when you catch him teasing you with a hint of a smile like, "don't give in now, I'm just getting started".

to) Motoyama: To be friends with Iba and to have taught Iba many many things over their lives, Motoyama has got to have some special characteristics, one of those is that he loves to be praised. Iba might praise his partner often, but as far as his bestie goes it doesn't happen often but is very genuine when it does, and that's something Motoyama craves in romantic experiences too! I know I said this about Nomura as well, but it's true for both of them: Motoyama looooves to be called a "pretty boy", he doesn't have that haircut for nothing. He's also a reader and though he's not normally reading romance, he does love praises with a little more substance to them, "You're intoxicating", "i love how obedient you are", "you look so silly squirming like that, but don't worry, I know you can endure this<3", all examples of words that will keep him straining in his pants 💖

more praise headcanons below the cut!

from) Ootori: Ahhhh Ootori Keisuke, my sassy "30-something" plot device lol. He's such a tease, you'd be surprised how much filth can come out of his outwardly-polite mouth. This tea drinking, romance novel reading, aristoCAT is all about shmoozy words in bed. Honestly, he's quoting from stuff he's read before and hoping you won't notice. "You look as beautiful as the morning glory's flower, my love~ Your legs are opening up for me quite nicely~", whenever he opens his mouth it makes you question whether or not you should expect better from him, or whether it's exactly the kind of charming corniness you need in your life (it is). He wants to come home to you trying on some new lingerie and praise "what a thoughtful little slut you are<3", he wants to bring you almost to orgasm over and over again and then tease that he "loves how needy you are".

from) Kimigiku: Ugh the most perfect femdom is here!!! She can give you gentle or kinky, it's all about giving YOU what YOU want. While not exclusively a service top, she does love to give a lot of coaxing like "doing so good, princess/prince/majesty" and "i'll take care of you cutie, i promise, just give me one more, I know you can". Now let's say you've touched her nerves a little this week: stayed out a little late with your coworkers, or gave her attitude a couple times... She's more than willing to tie you up and taunt you, telling you "Oh, I'm sure you can get out of those restraints yourself, right? Such a big strong man/woman/lover that I have". She'll degrade you and make it sound like the most enchanting curse you've ever heard; "I love using you", "No one else could ever match up to you, my biggest whore<3", "You don't need to cum, right? It's enough just to please me, right?"

from) Yamazaki: Hakuouki's own sweet little romantic nerd + killer spy <3 Idk if anyone else was surprised that he's canonically supposed to be 30 but I was when I first saw it lol! He's experienced: with sneaking around, one night stands, keeping things quiet, but when he finds someone special he turns into a blushing mess. His duality also pertains to praise, he likes hearing it and giving it, and he also likes giving and receiving degradation, just not normally at the same time ;). If you want him to he'll definitely put on his spy persona in bed for you! That said, he loves to assure you "Don't worry, you're safe with me, you can let it all out, you sound so beautiful", and loves to make little promises in bed when you're pleasing him like "That's my baby, I'll reward you so well for this. I love to see you full of me".

to) Yamazaki: Like I said, I think he's a duality-pleasing man. Praise him in bed and he's working double time to please you. Very enthusiastic when hearing what you like, if you tell him "I love it when you give me head", he'll make sure to spend extra time pleasing you down there~

to) Miki: Beat up his ego a little bit. Unlike Souji, Miki is a brat who can take what he gives. He's down with being called a slut/whore/etc or being referred to as your sex toy. If you top him it's a secret turn on of his to get embarrassed so saying "I know it hurts but you're taking it so well!" is an insta-nut. He's also into hearing you egg him on when he's being a brat and rub it in when he gives in, "You're such a good listener when I give you what you need, huh?" and "Can't you beg sweeter than that? Or is it beneath you even when you're already on your knees for me?"

from) Miki: Aaaaand he gives as good as he gets~ His mouth is filthy, and he's shameless when it comes to fucking you. Brash and abrasive, he'll tell you that "you look so beautiful with my cock in your mouth" with a haughty smirk on his face and he knows his confidence is a turn on in this case. He's not pussyfooting around what he means, with "you can beg better than that, little slut" often proceeding a later groan of "your screams sound so good baby". If you've been flirting or sexting before meeting up, he loves to throw in a "I've been waiting all day to put my cock in you" as soon as he walks through the door.

Harada:

Somehow holds his liquor better than several people there?

Encourages Heisuke & Shinpachi in their foolishness; Okita fondly calls him an asshole

Takes off his shirt; oh, wait, he's very drunk after all...

Offers to set up Yamazaki with a girl he knows from the bar downtown

Dances while singing "I'm too Sexy" (still sans shirt)

Pays for the Uber, and wakes up in a pile of limbs on Shinpachi's bed (along with several other dudes)

Hangover? What's that?

Hakuouki AU headcanons: karaoke bar edition

Hijikata:

Really didn’t want to be here but was afraid to let Chizuru come along without at least one adult present

Makes the mistake of having a very large sake with Saito

Shinpachi rummages through a thousand discs to find him a song he knows. He couldn’t care less, is just like ‘if it’ll shut you shits up’

Gets halfway through the first verse before he spots Okita’s cameraphone

‘YOU BASTARD GIVE IT’

Nearly forfeits their deposit in the ensuing brawl

Shinpachi:

He and Heisuke start the night balls-to-the-wall with shots

No brakes or moderation

Both rapidly getting shitfaced

Wrap their arms around each other for a duet of ‘Can’t Smile Without You’

It’s very pure and also very bad and off-key

‘Bro seriously I love you’

���I love you too big bro’

Okita heckles them to get off the stage or get a room

Chizuru:

She’s having fun watching everyone else. Cherishes every performance and applauds them all with complete sincerity

Pretty soon though everyone is ganging up on her to go next

‘CHI-ZU-RU! CHI-ZU-RU!’

Finally relents after Heisuke physically drags her up to the front

Gives a shy but adorable performance of ‘Time After Time’

None of the guys can look at each other. Hijikata is a little choked up

Yamazaki:

Dude he just came as the designated driver

Witnessing all this foolishness is a definite plus though

Harada takes him under his wing, plies him with bro-talk and Sapporo (‘relax I’ll pay for the Uber’)

Gets surprisingly emotional

Ends up sad-drunk and spills his life story

‘Why am I still single’ -Yamazaki, crying into beer

‘Dunno man you’re a catch’

Saito:

Is quietly getting smashed with Okita in the back row

Mouth curled up in a small smile, just enough to let everybody know how absolutely hilarious he finds all of this

Waits till the end of the night when things are winding down

Steps up to the mic and just fucking murders some Kendrick Lamar

Song ends, sits back down

Heisuke speaks for everyone: ‘the fuck just happened?!’

They all do sake shots for Hajime

Baki Headcanons: Musashi Miyamoto x Reader

I was recently considering getting back into playing Hakuouki and so the idea randomly came to me: Musashi Miyamoto and a reader that is very much into feudal/samurai otome games and is often on their phone/Switch/DS. Hopefully this hasn’t been done yet! Just a very short musing.

He notices your frown and focused expression as you stare at the screen and can’t help his curiosity. He asks you about the mysterious activity and you casually respond it’s just a dating sim.

A…what? You have realized your mistake. You proceed to explain what a visual novel is - really just an interactive story - and follow with awkward details regarding the particular case of an otome game. By the time you’re finished, you’re blushing pathetically. Musashi, on the other hand, seems very amused by the whole concept. He used to be a writer himself and the idea of a branching, immersive story is simply fascinating.

He insists on witnessing it with his very own eyes. You show him the screen. A man in traditional hakama and Shinsengumi robe holds up his sword. The dialogue goes on about protecting you in the midst of this military conflict, and your name is highlighted within the sentence. Musashi’s eyebrows raise further up. The technology may be foreign to him, but the narration depicted is rather familiar.

You outline the plot and the characters. You point to the man on the screen and confess, embarrassed, that he was your choice. As you name the features and characteristics that caused your decision, you begin to realize a lot of the traits might as well describe Musashi himself. He must’ve caught on, too, because a grin creeps onto his face.

“Hmmm. So that’s the kind of man you like.” He ponders with a smug expression. “Good to know.”

may i ask you what u mean when you say that kodo emotionally isolated Chizuru? do you mean by not telling her of her true nature or something else? love your souji route commentary btw!!❤️

Hello anon,

I am glad your like my commentaries on Souji's route. I like making them too so at least two of us are having a nice time with them.

It is true that I must have said 3 or 4 times now that for me Kodo emotionally isolated Chizuru while raising her, without ever explaining what exactly I was referring to. So thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about this.

(However, please be aware that I haven't play the game in its entirety yet and I am playing Hakuoki: Stories of the Shinsengumi which is a ten-years-old game and far from the newest iteration that might explore the subject a bit more. So this is informed by the anime, the movies and the part of the game I have played as of today. Plus by some of the discussions I have seen in the fandom.)

Also, I am so very sorry for the long post.

When I say Kodo emotionally isolated Chizuru am I referring to him lying to her about who she is or to something else? The answer is both, or rather I think the lying and other things were tools he used to isolate her (emotionally and also physically to an extent) in order to control her easily.

First the lying. Kodo lied to Chizuru, and he lied to her constantly including on things that cannot be reframed as a safety issue for her. Let's list the extent of his lies:

Not telling Chizuru she is an oni: This could potentially be reframed as a way to protect her from a world that would hunt her down. However, Chizuru still knows she is not like other people because of her healing. She has to hide it from ´outside’ people. This means Kodo only gave her half of the truth so she can't have a full picture of herself while also being convinced the only person she can trust entirely is him.

Not telling Chizuru she is not his biological daughter: Kodo is not Chizuru's biological dad. Biologically I am not even sure who Kodo is supposed to be for her. He is part of the Yukimura clan but he is not a pure blood oni. This means that the closest he could be to her is her uncle as the half-brother of one her parents. In the movies Kaoru calls him "Kodo-ojisan" (meaning uncle Kodo) but in Japanese as a younger person you can call middle-aged man ojisan as a mark of respect that is less formal than san (Mister/Sir). The official French subtitles translate this as "M'sieur Kodo", an informal version of Mister Kodo. In the game I am pretty sure Kaoru only calls him "Kodo-san". Which would mean that Kodo is not extremely closely related to the Yukimura twins (personally in my fic I made him the (half-)uncle of their mother who was born only a few years before her so they were raised as siblings more than uncle-niece, which meant that while Kodo is Chizuru's great-uncle he actually served as an uncle figure, I love family drama and complicated family tree). What does any of this matter? Well this lie does not serve any safety or cultural properness purpose. Adoption was extremely common in Japan at the time. Kondo Isami was adopted, Inoue (Okita) Rintaro (Okita Souji's brother-in-law) was adopted by the Okita family, Ito Kashitaro was adopted, Iemochi the Shogun at the beginning of the Hakuouki game was adopted, twice!, apparently Okita Mitsu was adopted by the Kondo family too so she could marry Inoue (now Okita) Rintaro... It would not have been shocking for Kodo to present himself as Chizuru adoptive father. What he actually is, btw. Yet he preferred to lie to her and say that he is her father, period.

Not telling her she ever had a sibling: as a follow-up to lying to her about being her bio dad, Kodo never mentioned to Chizuru that she had a brother. Reminder that Chizuru was 7 when her village was destroyed which meant she could have memories of her previous life (I can't remember if this is a popular headcanon or something backed by canon but it was Kodo who altered her memory right?). Hypothetically Kodo could have told her she had a brother (without mentioning the twin thing considering the negative superstitions surrounding them) adding that he died/disappeared. This could have match with snippets of memory she might have. It might also have salvaged Kaoru and Chizuru's relationship if they ever met again (something I believe Kodo was planning) because I personally thing that what definitely broke Kaoru was his sister not recognizing nor remembering him at all.

All of this accumulate to create a picture of "it was always just me and my dad and no one else" (why would she ever think she might need anyone else?) and "my father is the only person I can really trust". This is plain bad for Chizuru's development as a person and an absolute lie.

To this, one must add other ways Kodo used to make Chizuru dependent on him alone:

While Chizuru is well-educated and has attended a dojo for a short while, she has no (let alone close) friend. She never mentioned anyone back in Edo. I know some of this come from otome protagonists being some sort of a blank page so you can project on them but if we compare her to Hoshino Ichika for exemple (from Collar x Malice), Ichika does have friends and relations outside of the main cast that date back before the plot kicks in. Chizuru does not, besides Kodo.

The inclusion of Iba Hachiro in the new games might mitigate that but from my understanding Kodo did put some distance between the two at some point.

Chizuru had no prospect of her own, no goal with her future life despite being on the brink of adult life. Was the plan for her to live with her father forever?

While Kodo seems to be well-integrated in the medical/scientific community, no one seems to really care about Chizuru. No one seemed to have actually looked for her after she disappeared from the family home and went missing. Chizuru was 16 when she left Edo! She must have more or less run her father's household (which must have make her interact with people), maybe she helped him in the clinic and her father must have been a known figure in the neighborhood at least (as a doctor)... I understand that were more than troubled times but no one cared about the missing 16 years old girl they must have interacted with regularly? Really?

As a result we see a Chizuru that is an extremely strong-willed (she travelled alone from Edo to Kyoto by foot at sixteen years old disguising her gender in the middle of a deeply trouble political time! That takes guts!) and rather intelligent girl, yet she is also quite timid and does not seem to have a point of reference on how people should treat her.

The Shinsengumi kidnaps her and holds her captive for months for being at the wrong place at the wrong time and she is not deeply resentful to them? She thinks they are "nice men" deep down?

It takes her being physically put in danger in the place she is forced to live in to go:

???

She has no basis for what a sane relationship with someone should look like. She take being controlled as normal. Ironically, it is with the political militia who kidnapped her that she starts learning how to interact relatively normally with people. Because for what I think is the first time in her life since Kodo adopted her, she is allowed to interact with a multitude of people who have different opinion and act as if disagreeing with each other from time to time is normal (which it is). Hijikata gave the order for her to stay in her room? Well it is stupid order and we are not following it. Etc etc.

My thoughts about Kodo's behavior is that he raised Chizuru so she would be able to nominally be the head of Yukimura clan and his future oni/rasetsu kingdom (giving her Shotsuren, making sure she is passable with it, making sure she is educated, etc.) while making sure she could never really escape his clutches and would never even think about trying to do so.
