Random Suguru headcanons:
Suguru's involvement with martial arts does not stop at his specialty. He strives to apply the budo mindset in life, which encompasses spiritual and moral dimensions as well. The main focus is self improvement.
Yes, he used to read on public transport. He genuinely used to enjoy reading sorcery, sociology and psychology related books, though it gradually became impossible to focus on them as his PTSD symptoms were worsening.
Really good with the joystick :3c Second best only to Satoru, maybe?
Avid coffee drinker. Takes his coffee black and his tea with a few drops of lemon.
His standard breakfast is rice with natto and a raw egg on top. Although he can enjoy his meals, most of the time he sees them as a necessity rather than pleasure. He does enjoy cooking for others though.
Due to the nature of his innate technique, Suguru has developed a near obsession with oral hygiene. Although there's no evidence to support curses leaving any biological residue, he's very, very self conscious about it. Ironically, this has resulted in him having a minty-fresh breath 24/7. That insecurity subsides after his turning point.
This ^ has made him rather insecure when it comes to kisses — he tends to avoid them. Not because he doesn't want to, but -- it's complicated. ( emoguru hours )
True to his zodiac sign (Aquarius) Suguru is a creative person by nature. He's an artsy type. He has his own taste and he appreciates aesthetic.
Suguru doesn't really draw but he enjoys doodling and later on gets into painting at the cult temple. Back in highschool, he once got busted for passing around a doodle of Yaga-sama wearing a duck suit outside the KFC captioned 'can I cross the road now?' He was punished with a month of toilet duty, but to this day he would claim it was worth it.
During Premature Death era, Suguru picks up smoking cigarettes. Later on, after taking over the TVA, he switches to kiseru.
When it comes to arguments, he's really not the type to hold a grudge. However, he's also not the type to back off, especially where his personal values are on debate.
His love language primarily translates to quality time. As a jujutsu sorcerer, Suguru has learned to value his time in this world and his friends' time with him as well. It really irks him when someone keeps checking their phone while they're spending time together! ( * coughs * Satoru * coughs coughs * later on Nanako * coughs * )
Secondarily, it would have to be physical touch. Although he takes time to open up to others, his friends and later on family would know that Suguru's hugs are very earnest and warm. He usually goes in to hug others to his chest in a comforting manner rather than allow them to hold him instead.

You’re not him-Chapter 3
Walking into the library, you see Loki sit down with a bundle of files, going through one of them before exclaiming sarcastically,
"Oh my goodness! Don't tell me the variant ambushed another team of minutemen, wow! HUH and stole their reset charges as well!"
Giggling you walk over to him and stand opposite him. Looking up, he sees you and smiles.
"Hi" you say.
"Hello."
" So, I never took you for the reading type, whatcha reading?" you say, knowing full well how much he loved to read.
" Well, I love reading, but these are files about the variant, Mobius asked me to read them." he explains.
" Oh, well I have to read them too! Do you mind if join you?" you say, a tinge of hope in your voice.
" Oh sure, of course." he replies.
Getting up, he then pulls the chair out so you can sit in it.
" And he's a gentleman too!" you tease, making him blush lightly and chuckle.
Looking down to the table, the first document you see has, in big bright red lettering,
'Destruction of Asgard'
Ragnarok-Class 7 apocalypse.
Shit.
Loki sits down and spots the paper too, picking it up and going through it, you can see how he's trying to hide his emotions, but you can see his eyes tearing up, and his breath hitching.
"I'm sorry." you say quietly.
" It-It's fine, it happens." he says putting it off and handing it over to you.
Going through it, you see just how bad the damage was, and then something caught your eye.
'Zero Variance Energy detected'
"Loki, Loki look," you get his attention.
"What, what did you find?" he asks eager to get away from the topic of his home getting blown up.
"Look, it says there's no variant energy, what if the variant's hiding in apocalypses?" you ask.
" That, that's an amazing idea. Because he can do whatever he wants, and it won't make a difference-"
" -because the place is getting blown to bits and everyone dies." you finish excitedly.
" We-we have to tell Mobius this, oh darling you're a genius!" he says before gathering the files and walking towards the cafeteria, "Come on!" he calls you.
Darling.
He called you darling.
Just great.
~~
" Mobius! We found something!" Loki says and pulls you over and sits you down, before getting another chair for himself.
" What? What did you find?" he asks.
"The variant's hiding in apocalypses." you said.
"What? what do you mean?"
"Are you familiar with Ragnarok?" Loki asks Mobius.
"Yes, the destruction of Asgard and most of it's people I'm sorry about that."
" Yes, very sad, now-" Loki begins, taking Mobius's salad.
"What are you doing?" Mobius asks Loki.
" Let's just say, your salad is Asgard-"
"That's not Asgard, that's my lunch, I want that salad." Mobius whines.
" I could do anything here, I could-" Loki continues, picking up a salt shaker, " push Hulk of the rainbow bridge!" he shakes the salt shaker, adding salt and ruining the salad.
" So the salt's hulk?" you ask.
Ignoring you, he continues," Or, I could set fire to the palace." now he shakes in some pepper.
"No, don't set fire to the palace-" Mobius interrupted.
"-and it would never matter, because-" he pauses, reaching for the can of soda, only to find it empty.
You get up and go over to Casey and ask him if you can take his juice, he agrees. Walking back you hand the juice to Loki, who smiles in thanks.
" Thank you, now, because the apocalypse is coming, Surtur will destroy Asgard, no matter what." He continues, now pouring the juice into the salad.
" No, don't do that!" you and Mobius say together.
"That's the apocalypse, clumsy metaphor but you see what I mean. If everything, and everyone around you for imminent destruction, " he says picking up the shakers again. " nothing I say or do will matter, cause the timelines not gonna branch, cuz it get's destroyed. The variant could be hiding in the apocalypse and do whatever he wants, and we wouldn't know!" he finishes.
"Not bad, good job guys." Mobius says.
"Come on. I'll show you, take me to Ragnarok!"
"I'm not going to take you for a stroll across the promenade much less take you back to your home, I know what you're trying to do, lure me out into the field and then you stab me in the back!" Mobius argues.
Loki spreads his arms out, mouth open, a very offended expression on his face.
"I'd never stab anyone in the back! That's such a boring form of betrayal!"
"Loki, I've studied almost every moment of your entire life, you've literally stabbed people in the back like fifty times!" Mobius says.
"You did try to stab me once." you say smirking.
" I-I what?!" he stares at you
"That's a story for another time, Lokes."
"Well, I'd never do it again!" he says, making you and Mobius laugh in amusement.
~~
"Loki! Get over here!" Mobius calls as you watch, laughing hysterically
Oh, were were you?
Pompeii, seconds before Mt.Vesuvius erupts and you were witnessing a God-child, rambling in Latin about how everyone was going to die and positively horrifying everyone present there.
Suddenly you were all interrupted by a blast from the volcano, Vesuvius was erupting.
" Woohoo! Here we go! Nothing matters! Nothing has any consequence!" he shouts, throwing handfuls of vegetables in the air.
Annoyed, Mobius checks the Tempad, before doing a double take and grinning.
"So how'd we do?" you ask eagerly.
" Zero variant energy, No branching in the timeline, this worked!" Mobius said.
Smiling widely, you shouted, " Hey Loki! It worked! We did it!"
Loki turns around and smiles, out of breath.
" If it were me, this is where I would hide."
~~
You were sipping your lemon iced tea in peace, listening to the men in front of you bicker like toddlers.
"So you're saying, Three Magic Lizards created the Tva and everyone in it?" Loki asked Mobius
" Yes."
"See, every time I start to admire you're intelligence, you say something like that!" Loki argues
"Ok, well who created you Loki?" Mobius asks
" A frost giant of Jotunheim." Loki said, making you almost choke on your drink.
" and who raised you?"
"Odin of Asgard."
"Asgard, Mystical realm, Frost giants- listen to yourself!"
"It's not the same! It's completely different!" he rambles
"A-actually it's exactly the same because if you think too hard about where any of us came from, who we truly are, it sounds kind of ridiculous. Existence is chaos! Nothing makes any sense so we try to make some sense of it, and I'm just lucky that the chaos I emerged into gave me this."
" Ok, what about Y/n?"
" I'm actually a special case, Ravonna allowed me to join the TVA, as long as I bide by the rules, and not be an idiot and possibly blow up the timeline. But the TVA is my life, and it's real, because I believe it's real." you explain.
"Fair enough , you believe it's real, so everything is written, the past, the present and the future"
You soon stop paying attention, and thought about the first time you and Loki said ' I love you'
You both were baking a cake to pass the time and somehow in the process, Loki found himself covered in frosting.
"I'll get you back for that darling!" he said grinning, before hugging you tightly, covering you in frosting too.
Laughing hysterically, you both started flinging frosting at each other.
Holding you close, you felt his breath fan your cheeks, as you lost yourselves in each other's eyes.
"I love you Loki." you blurted out, making him smile.
" Oh my darling, I love you too, so much." he replied before kissing you softly and passionately.
"Y/n! Focus! Come on! I found a lead! Follow me!" Mobius said, calling you over.
"What were you thinking of?" Loki asked.
"Just thinking about a moment in my life, one I really treasure." you say smiling softly.
"Today Love birds!" Mobius called again.
"We're coming! Jerk." you say, while blushing,
You and Loki follow Mobius, before stopping at him looking at a packet of 'Kablooie" gum.
"This, I thought about this."

I don't know why, but I didn't expect Armand to still be calling Marius "Master" and "sir" in the modern day
#Lemon liveblogs#Lemon reads TVA#needing to know Marius is around to feel safe. Relaxing once he knows Sybelle and Benji are with Marius#pointing out that Marius never really needed him and Marius reassuring Armand that he wanted him...

So far, the fandom seems to have overstated how unvomfortable Armand is around Marius at the start of this book (as if a victim feeling safe around their abuser isn't also insidious).
But holy shit, all I hear about David Talbot is how creepy he is and it still undersold it
#lemon liveblogs#lemon reads TVA#Asks Armand to tell him his life story. Armand runs away. Follows Armand to an attic#Armand wishing there was a ghost there to comfort him...

Armand: why?
Marius: if you're going to ask so many questions, I'm leaving

No amount of "Armand's turning is basically a wedding" could have prepared me for how much of a wedding this scene is
#lemon liveblogs#lemon reads tva#dresses them both in sheer gowns in Marius' private salons where Armand has to walk down the room to meet Marius#the most wedding wedding to ever wedding

Of all things, I did not expect the sex scene between Armand and Bianca to be so viscerally upsetting
#lemon liveblogs#lemon reads tva#Armand is having a breakdown and takes it out on her and it makes me very uncomfortable

When you can't tell if Armand is turned on or having a break down (both, the answer is probably both)

To be honest, it's easy to forget how young Armand is, like YA protagonists who act like adults.
And then "I was too young for wet pleasure" hits you like a frieght train

"No, don't leave me, Master. I don't want the whole world. I want you!"
"Amadeo," he said in this private tongue of confidence, leaning over the bed, his hair dry now and beautifully brushed, his hands softened with powder. "You have me forever. Let the boys feed you, dress you. You belong to me, to Marius Romanus, now."
Armand de Bluebeard's wife
#lemon liveblogs#lemon reads TVA#the imagery is just SO.#Young bride has feverish sex dreams that may or may not be real and then wakes up in her husband's bed hopelessly in love#The parallels they could make to Loustat in the show are so tantalizing

I'm sorry, Marius had matching gold sarcophogi premade for him and Armand for when he turned him???
