#so seeing him betray the dwma is a constant whammy

[nikikikiko]

i wonder if kid ever got his music taste from justin. like it’s a thought but it haunts me sometimes while i read the manga & see scenes between them (esp their scene’s while kid’s with noah and by proxy with justin)

bc kid most likely knows all the death scythes thanks to his dad and all of them probably met kid. who’s to say justin didn’t visit from the europe branch and run into a tiny child death the kid and decide to let him listen in. who’s to say justin didn’t influence kid’s sassiness? his chill and laidback attitude? he certainly didn’t get much of that from his upbeat cheerful papa death and justin is plenty parts sassy and chill

and what if the sound of kid’s laughter was music to justin’s ears and he’d take out his earbuds to hear it because that little boy he’s watched (from slightly afar) grow into a silly pre-teen is happy. what if they’ve talked about artists they like and justin introduced kid to all kinds of music?

and bonusly:

how much would it hurt then, for kid to see justin while he’s held captive and see this warped twisted version of the man he used to know? to see justin not only turn his eye to gopher’s beatings but laugh and mock him? to have THAT what gets his earbuds off now because this version of justin is just /that/ fucked up?

though its a headcanon, it haunts me bc of the angst potential it has
