#quark reminds junpei of akane and it makes him cry

[kladbis]

grandpa, why are you crying?

akane, why are you smiling?

a few potentially terrible things that could happen to junpei over on his rp blog that i’ve been thinking about lately. 999 spoilers under the cut.

because things are never looking good for junpei

-any form of sigpei. that’d never actually happen, because the sigma in-group is taken, but it’d still be horrible. Mainly because he’s decent friends with Phi.

-realtalk, just finding an akane. Chances are, he’d break down mentally and start crying and apologizing uncontrollably. That, or he’d shut her out completely.

-also, finding a main timeline Aoi. because there’s the person he’s spent an entire year trying to find, the one person he lives for finding right now, and whoops Aoi has an entirely different set of memories so even if junpei wants to apologize, it’ll mean nothing to aoi.

-finding snake. If there’s one person who he really feels as bad about letting die as akane, it’s snake. He shut down finding clover, but oh my god he would not take well to finding snake.

-finding Hongou, mainly because he would probably just try to kill him. Like, just “oh hi you fucking bastard I’m going to kill you now��

-carlos, especially if it was a carlos who’d previously been dating akane and junpei. On the one hand, carlos is junpei’s type and he definitely has the kindness that’d be good for junpei healing, but on the other hand junpei would consider himself a fake, and’d just keep reminding carlos about that.

-the worst thing: if he got a challenge that required him being set back in the nonary game, and had to prevent at least one person’s death. Because he doesn’t know how to reach the true ending, he’d figure that the simplest way to save lives is just to kill ace, so he’d steal the gun before ace could, and use it to shoot him before ace stabs clover. He’d probably get tackled, restrained, and potentially even left in the building, but he wouldn’t care. He genuinely wouldn’t care about straight-up murdering ace if it meant clover and snake at least could live.

but for less depressing: some good things that could happen for him:

-quark. if a quark showed up and was like “grandpa!” then he’d absolutely try to make sure quark was safe and happy, even if he acted like a tsundere the entire time. He’d just try to be a good big brother, instead of a good dad.

-tenmyouji. honestly, it’d probably be decent just for him to talk to his older self. Like, he knows it’s not someone he’ll ever become, but there’s still life experience and hell, if anyone can understand him, it’s probably himself.

-pokemon. He’s eventually going to get a ghost type who has dream eater, probably, which will massively help with the nightmares. He’s also going to get an alolan vulpix, who helps him sleep and cuddles with him.

also, seven or any of the kashiwabaras. Even if they didnt remember him the same, he still considers them all family. he’d be a bit more comfortable with them around.
