Considering that the MVs are drawn directly from the prisoner's minds, Mikoto must know a lot about Tarot for it to feature so prominently in MeMe. And he doesn't just know surface-level stuff, either. From this, I deduce that he reads Tarot as a hobby, but also that he probably has a bunch of other esoteric hobbies:

Palmistry/Palm-reading: He learnt it mostly as a way to connect with others, and it doesn't require an outside prop like reading Tarot would. I like to think he'd offer to read his coworkers palms during lunch breaks

Incense/Aromatic Oils: His apartment might not look like much, but you'd get punched in the face with scents when you walk in. We've seen how much of a focus on bathing his subconsious has in MeMe; you know he likes to spoil himself with a scented bath now and again

Acupuncture: The man overworks himself and probably has cramps in his hands and cricks in his neck like you wouldn't believe, so he does anything he can to relieve the muscle tension. Sadly for him, Es denied his request for a set of acuptuncture needles in Milgram, citing it to be too much like a weapon

Crystals: Yes I'm afraid it's true, Mikoto is a healing crystal bro. However I don't think he owns very many - he's too fiscally responsible for that

Dream Interpretation: He dropped this one pretty quickly after he realised he could never remember his dreams. For a while he wondered if he even had dreams

Strange Mahiru headcanon

I feel like Mahiru would know how to play the violin and piano

My heacanon is that when she was a kid, she thought the violin and paino were romantic instruments or something, and due to that, learned how to play it or something

Am I the only one thinking that Es is secretly a murderer but just doesn’t remember? Like their song is literally called “Undercover” and the box they held in the MV and the fact they are sat in front of a cage kinda makes me feel like they are being used for some reason, maybe to test a murderer’s perception on what counts as murder or not? Idk. Plus they seem to view the inmates almost as comrades at times, almost like they understand their logic waaay too much.

Idk, I just think it would be a fun twist.

I didn't have any specific Es headcanons before seeing this post, so here's some my brain just threw at me -in an effort to understand the prisoners better they often try foods or hobbies they like. They've eaten spicy noodles to try understand Fuuta and shuffled tarot cards trying to get in Mikoto's head. Painted their nails like Muu and baked like Mahiru. -in terms of food though, they don't have much of a sense of taste - something would have to have a REALLY strong flavour to register. This can turn into a health hazard if some food has been lying around long enough for it to go bad and Shidou has - on more than one occasion - found some half-eaten dangerfood and had to quietly discard it before Es ate more -Es doesn't have access to music outside of the prisoner's songs so they're not sure what sort of music they like. It's a topic that comes up in idle chatter sometimes and leaves them feeling very excluded -they will sometimes do something without thinking about it and then realise it and fixate on it, wondering if it's a clue to their lost memories. Like fold a thousand paper cranes (that everyone else kept finding crammed in random areas for weeks)

guys please drop your es hcs i have no idea what to draw

This would explain why Kazui even bothered to protect Fuuta. He values Fuuta as a friend but also recognises he is still a young adult and wishes to protect him. And maybe he has to protect his daughter in the past?

maybe the girl kazui is meeting in the bar is his daughter from a previous relationship. a lot of people dont think he was seeing other women because he seems to love his wife very dearly, so maybe he got with somebody when he was like 18-19 and now has a young adult daughter. his kid reaching out to him could have been recent too, which is why there’s themes of “reuniting” in his first song - and that could be the catalyst for him telling his wife about it after all this time. it doesn’t seem like enough to push someone to death, maybe if they had been together way back when, like highschool sweethearts or smth. also he says he only has one person left of his family, which could be his daughter? i dunno its a loose theory but i like the feel of it fgdb

hi! could i request mikoto kayano and his alter ego with an s/o who likes to lay their head on his lap? if you do this, thank you so much!

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Mikoto Kayano

Mikoto really likes it when you rest your head on his lap.

He likes how you wrap your arms around his waist and just contently smile as you lay your head on his thigh. It’s embarrassing on his part though.

Each time you do this, a flutter of happiness blossoms within him.

He thinks you are so adorable!

He hopes you’re comfy though…

Sometimes he would instinctively start playing with your hair. There is just something soothing about it that relaxes the craziness within his head.

He chuckles as you doze off, and will affectionately poke and prod at your soft cheeks. 

Kisses on the forehead are also a common gesture, but he does it even more when you lay on his lap.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Mikoto Kayano’s Alter (John)

John at first hates the fact that you feel comfortable enough to lay your head on his lap. Do you not realize he could kill you so easily? Besides, he isn’t Mikoto, just his alter ego he created due to stress. You should reserve your affections towards Mikoto, not him.

For a while he would shove or kick you off of him, then walk away to commit atrocities.

After a while you still were so insistent on laying on his lap!

When you manage to lay your head on his lap, he would constantly whisper threats into your ear (he does not mean those threats).

It would take him a while to adjust to the comfort and love you provide to him. After all your effort, it would be… disrespectful to deny you. After all, he thinks you’re pretty cute on his lap.

No he did not send you a blow kiss when you slept on his lap. That’s cringy.

Fuuta and Mikoto would both become down bad so easily for their partners if the two were ever in relationships

It's TRUE 👏 Put these touch-starved, connection-starved, attention-starved, love-starved guys near Anyone that can provide that and they are going crazy. (I don’t think this was an official request but I really wanted to write headcanons for it anyway lmao)

When Fuuta has a crush/partner he’d (unknowingly) follow them around like a little puppy – he usually prefers online connections and avoids people in public, so he’s not used to enjoying in-person company so much. Though he’ll always speak up with his intense opinions, he starts initiating tons of conversations with that person, even about calm or meaningless topics. He just wants to be around them, he just wants to talk. He’s also not used to a lot of physical touch in any form, so he goes wild trying to get a chance to connect (intricate rituals and all that), but then the minute he comes in any sort of contact, he’s flustered enough to short circuit. He becomes a hundred times more competitive with them around, willing to push himself to his limits just for the chance of maybe impressing them. It doesn’t matter that he’d never flat-out admit his feelings – finding someone that makes him feel that way makes him Completely obsessed. 

When Mikoto has a crush/partner, the puppydog metaphor still works lmao. Mikoto’s always been friendly and touchy, and he becomes even moreso when there’s someone he likes. He’s usually good at dividing his attention and making sure everyone is happy, but it starts becoming clear to everyone that his attention is definitely favoring one person. The other big sign is that he leaps into Service Mode. Do they need help with that? Maybe they want someone else to take some of the load? Maybe he should surprise them with a little extra favors done around? What if they were big favors, too? Mikoto tells them all the time how much he cares about them, never shying away from a sappy love confession. The real clue that he’s in deep is he starts opening up about other things – not necessarily the big things he has on lockdown, but small moments of need/sadness/shame he’ll start to blurt out to them. (Whether they want to or not lol,) they become the person who knows him better than anyone else.

I’m hoping they don’t make Mahiru yandere. My current theory is that she became obsessed with someone who then dated her, but they took advantage of her (hence the bird cage, almost like she is trapped but feels happy cuz she mistakes it for love), and then she gets afraid, killing them by accident in self defence. But…knowing how Milgram handles mental illness (cough Mikoto), I can see them just going the yandere route.

[apoplecticgalaxy]

So im making a presentation on personality disorders and sharing the characters i think could have them. and ive realized. theres so many milgram characters who line up with the symptoms.

Like Muu having npd is an obvious one, but also on a much deeper level then ppl might realize. like shes not just arrogant, she has that defensive reaction to criticism and the distress that comes with being diminished.

And Mahiru with bpd. the instability in her relationships, the attachment issues, her whole push and pull break up situation with her bf, all of it!!

Yuno is so schizoid coded too. her whole timeline with kazui where shes like "you lie to protect yourself, but i dont care about others or myself." her coldness theming, and her indifference to a lot of things happening.

Then Haruka with dpd. the inability to take care of himself, shown by his reliance on muu. his uncertainty with a lot of things. i haven't looked into this one as much yet so i dont have many examples but. yeah.

thats all ive got for now but i will update with more if i find any 👀
