#saiki and his friends

[joshhere911]

I need more saiki being kind to people and i need more saikis friends realizing his little actions of kindness SO BAD

he randomly places a pencil on someones desk and his friends are the "?" Emoji until said person comes in, gets out all their books, panics for a second before seeing the pencil and going "thank goodness!! I left mine at home!! Im so lucky haha!" and all his friends just GAPE at him for a minute, and then a minute longer when he doesnt say its his or that he put it there

And then its other little things !! He randomly sticks his foot out to trip an oncomingthief, hits a random floating balloon that floats back to a kids dad to catch, he throws a piece of meat towards a dog seconds before the owner runs to the dog saying they were just about to miss it !!

His friends definitely think hes lucky and test Their luck but they notice when its more forced he just . Lets it happen BAHAHA kaido "accidentally" tripping on his shoelaces and saiki just watches him trip <3

(He doesnt know that saiki makes sure thst his shoelaces are tied everyday bc he is INCREDIBLY clumsy ) (he lets it happen bc hes petty and doesnt appreciate his hard work becoming undone)

Cringetober Day 2: Tsundere

Gotta love a guy who has all the powers in the world, but can't admit he actually likes hanging out with his goofball friends. The most platonic of tsunderes.

How Saiki wants to be perceived:

Not at all. He's just generic mob character #7536, thanks.

How Saiki's friends perceive him at first:

Projection Central... Depending on the person, he's a scaredy-cat, romance novel protagonist, former punk, flustered fanboy, a slacker who just needs some inspiration to become a sports star, etc...

How Saiki's friends perceive him at the end of the series:

Quiet, a little glum, kinda boring, but a good guy. Says "good grief" a lot.

How the Psychickers perceive him:

Sarcastic, stubborn, tsundere, a little childish, back-talker supreme, confident, a bit arrogant even, incredibly intelligent, lonely, silly, uptight, a soft touch, kind.

How Saiki ACTUALLY IS:

Sarcastic, stubborn, tsundere, a little childish, back-talker supreme, confident, a bit arrogant even, incredibly intelligent, lonely, silly, uptight, a soft touch, kind.

-> Only the Psychickers (and to some extent, his family) know and appreciate Saiki for who he actually is by the end of the series.

That's because Saiki is only ever comfortable revealing his true personality once the other person knows about his powers.

Until then, he will always try pretending to be a passive nobody, unless he thinks it can get a girl off his back (ex. against Teruhashi at the arcade, against Imu in the locker room).

Saiki remains nervous about telling his friends about his powers despite seeing it go off without a hitch in the alternate universe, and despite losing his powers first, because his friends might not like his "new"/actual personality.

We see early on in Kuboyasu's introduction that Saiki fears his relationships with his friends are fake because they're based on a huge lie and an even bigger pretense. We see that anxiety about his personality/persona not being palatable enough at the wrong-day birthday party. We see him mourn the fact that he can't be his real self at the mixer.

THAT is the great tragedy of Saiki K, that almost none of the people he loves actually know him in any meaningful way, not even by the end of the series!

omg... 😳 more saiko maybe o.O?

I realized a lil too late that you *might* have meant Saiko alone. But i already done a lot for Saiki/Saiko friendship and i didnt want it to go to waste XD

Some headcanons cause i could~

Saiko is apart of the LGBTQA+ Community, he refuses to search for a label that aligns him with the common folk

Saiko doesnt like Coffee Jelly, even when made by his best chef's. It's just.. It's not for him, he leaves that stuff to Saiki and the others.

He's decently good at art but mostly sketch art. He hates doing it cause it's long and tedious and it never looks right.

Praise feels good but he won't admit it outloud. Just quietly keeps pursuing it after the praise was given.

He's a few inches shorter than Nendou, and he is VERY proud of the fact that he's taller than most of their friends.

saiki is legally allowed to be The Grumpiest Boy because chronic headache and fatigue

[psychicdisaster]

I will never get over the fact that Saiki probably restrains his emotions because he caused serious damage the last time he was truly angry (which, interestingly enough, was for another person: Akechi). Being all powerful means he can't allow himself to feel anything deeply.

Spacing out all day and woke up to my brain going "kusuo absolutely Most definitely gossips" and now it wont get outof my head

Hes not very vocal about it and he isnt very chismoso But sometimes he finds himself eavesdropping.. maybe a little overhearing,, not with his telepathy but via their voice (yk his morals and stuff and also because theyre saying it Out loud in such Close vicinity so why is it His fault ? Hes trynna read)

Honestly he probably got it from his mom considering shes friends with his friends moms and yk,, moms are veeery gossipy for some reason and it shows in thst one chapter i forgot where they were just talking about their sons Anyways she definitely comes home with the juiciest gossip and he never really cared until he finds Himself spilling beans to other people and it catches him offgaurd

during lunch with all of his friends he overhears chiyo talking to mera and teruhashi about a girl she knows thats in the "Perfect relationship " and saiki just quietly goes ," they broke up last week..." and she just Stares at him and then REALIZES that he most DEFinitely has the juiciest gossip considering hes a Quiet kid and she starts talking to him more and considering he doesnt like saying no to his friends and he could either talk or be quiet and let the conversation fester into RLLY bad awkwardness (he does Not want to deal with thst and frankly neither do i) he doesnt tell her All the deets out of privacy, but he also just has So much useless information that he has no idea what to do with so he starts by telling her small things , a phrase they said here, a mention of a break up there, never the full story in respect but just enough to get her modtly off his back

It comes to a point where they hang out at Aiura's home, Chiyo talking fanatically , Teruhashi in overall confusion and not super into gossip, mera probably not caring but if she Did hear something she would report it immediately, and saiki providing little bits and snips of things he "possibly" heard and judt having chemistry w the Gals . They need more bonding time . Lorvb

[coffeehelly]

its really interesting to me how kaidou says he feels like saiki is protecting/looking out for all of them somehow. like do they all have some kind of innate sense that the Weird Things happening around them are saikis doing? or do you think saiki gives off a strong "if anything happens to my friends im going to become the joker" vibe that he doesnt even notice

toritsuak sexuality hc?

homophobic gay

[skippersthecat]

I really wonder what the average PK student thought about Saiki.

"I can't believe that quiet kid who may or may not be dating Nendo is liked by Teruhashi enough to have the Kokomins attack him."

"I know right? He's always creepily standing behind corners staring at people."

"He did help Hairo stop a bank robbery so he must be some kind of vigilante. "

"Yeah but I can't get past how he keeps disappearing into the bathroom with our classmates for extended periods of time."

Saiki hating Takahashi because he reminds him of Akechi’s main bully is so insane to me. What do you mean the silly gag that’s been present since nearly the beginning is trauma-based. What do you mean it wasn’t just a joke. What do you mean Kusuo couldn’t consciously remember what happened with Akechi but still feels it’s effects years later, when he sees some random teenager and just can’t explain why he hates him.

I wonder how he felt when he realized. It’s living with a survival-based coping mechanism for so long that it seems entirely normal—then suddenly remembering something and realizing “This is the moment it happened. This is why I do that. I wasn’t like this before.”

[skitskatstudios]

One day Saiki’s gonna make a snarky comment in his head, but then realise he accidentally projected it telepathically.
