#im still trying to find a good shipname for us kfdghksd

[voidcat]

ive never watched kn8 tell me all about narumi…. esp if you have a self ship with him!!

SORRY FLORA IM REPLYING SO LATE IVE BEEN TRYIN TO GATHER THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD EVER SINCE !!! i'll have u know (idc if i said it before) but ive been so giddy and kicking my feet ever since i got this ask from you aaaaaaaaaaaa !!!! <33

i'll.. talk about him a lil bit with spoilers too (manga spoilers + b sides manga spoilers for his background) bc yeah while i call him a loser and all the alternatives i like him a lot and how he reflects the emptiness he has within him with "bratty actions" others usually reprimend him for !!

so for basic info: in kn8 its humans vs the creatures/monsters refered to as kaiju and the main force in japan against them is japan anti kaiju defense force- it has several divisions and each division has its officers, platoon leaders and a captain. narumi is the captain of the first division and the strongest anti kaiju combatant... to fight off kaiju the equipment used by forces is evangelion like, in the sense that they use kaiju biomaterials to make the battlesuits, weapons and whatnot bc i think essentially, kaiju are like,,, alive beings mutated in a way. some of them are too animal, plant or fungi like (also recent chapters had a mini thing regarding mina's tiger, which kinda supports this for me lol)

(manga spoilers) as a child he lost his parents to kaiju attacks early on and lived as an orphan, runs into jakdf forces during an attack and theyre shocked to see him easily slay kaiju using a dead kaiju's arm bc its hard to wield kaiju biomaterial without smt to enhance (like the suits) then showing compatibiliy with one of the strong suits/weapons its like bonus points for narumi to be picked by them. its like his found family. except the father figure he had there is a distant grieving father who only cares about results (a trait narumi picks up from him) so no matter the location, status and importance, he is in a way, forever craving to be cared for, to be told that he did a good job without being scolded. buuuut also he is a little bit of a mess, has an online shopping addiction, searches up his name online to see what has been said about him ("ego surfing") cool demeanor but once u meet him, his personality just makes u " -_- tf u mean this is the strongest?"

aaaand for our selfship while im debating this fic im planning and a separate one- either scenario we meet through work– i;'m more on the medical/research side of things and we just... dont like each other at frst LMAO i loudly shit on him few times and call him out on his bs and he is nooot happy abt it ONE BIT. it baffles him that unlike everyone he has met idgaf abt his status as a captain and while i maintain the chain of respect, i still find subtle ways to shittalk his ass<3

so he takes the last dessert at cafetaria as payback, picks up my mail orders and crashes the medical room w stupid excuses to create more paperwork for me (he def pretends to have low blood pressure bc he enjoys my hands on his bicep while i do a quick checkup on him... likes it more when im rough- which, with him, i am most of the time)

he always crashes our office on the days i bring smt ive baked and eats half of it and secretly watches as i interact and converse with the cats near the base<3 he finds it cute (tried to make fun of me for being a lonely loser for talking with cats but he kinda wishes he was the one getting belly rubs instead of the clingy tabbycat)

on the evenings departments of first division decide to hold events or gatherings, he normally doesnt join but after i invite him (i pitied his ass and also i lost a bet, thus was forced to invite him in person), he never misses a single one. always sits near me but not next to me, sometimes tries to arrive last bc he noticed i usually pick seatings people will take last. there was a karaoke night one time and while everyone was p much shitfaced and drunk, in his tipsy haze, he watched me in awe as the bright colors of the screen reflected off my face and how i just sang without a care (i thought everyone had passed out by then...)
