(What happens when Whit, Charles, and Teruko get assigned to cook for the rest...)

Whit: (internally monologuing) I guess I would have to make the whole thing my-A WHOLE STICK OF BUTTER?!

Teruko: (reading the cookbook) When it says "some butter", that means just one stick, right?

Charles: Wait! Looking at it again, it says "add some melted butter"!

Teruko: (facepalming) It does! Aw, no!

Charles: (confidently) Let's put the whole bowl in the microwave!

Teruko: (putting the bowl in the microwave, smiling) Good save!

Whit: (knowing where this is going to lead) Guys, wait!

Teruko: (confused) Charles. why is it glowing?!

Whit: (panicking) That's a metal bowl!

(BOOM!)

Stan *stone-faced*: As you can tell by the look on my face I’m anxiously looking forward to it

Capricorn: The scariest thing about these woods is how quickly desperate teenagers hook up.

Solaryn: Elwyn! Can you do something for me?

Elwyn: Can you do something for me first? Make a u-turn immediately.

about saiki kusuo...

he's a leo.

he's incredibly tidy. if his parents leave the house in a mess, he'll complain but proceed to deep-clean it anyways.

he's a stickler for other people's safety. if he notices someone's shoelace is untied, he'll tie it for them, regardless of the circumstances (ie. smack-dab in the middle of a sports game)

on another note, he seems to have a fixation with tying people's shoelaces for them.

he's weak for sweets in general, not just coffee jelly. sweet tooth saiki!

he has a huge soft spot for kids. this probably stems from his failed childhood friendship with akechi.

he's scared of bugs because he can't read their minds. this implies that powerless!saiki might be a lot shyer, more anxious, and even pricklier, since he doesn't know what anybody's thinking.

he's totally a mama's boy. he learned his moral compass from her, does whatever she wants, believes he was born an esper to protect her, etc.

also, the notorious zebra print blazer was because of his mom.

he's so much of a people-pleaser that he'll sacrifice his desire for anonymity and normalcy; he'll insert himself into situations, stalk people, and use his powers even if it means the spotlight will fall on him.

not only is he a people-pleaser, he's a drama queen. he'd rather concoct elaborate plans to avoid somebody instead of simply rejecting them.

he's a one piece fan.

his favorite arcade game used to be whack-a-mole, and he thought destroying all the moles meant he'd won. he was banned because of this.

his glasses are colored glasses from his childhood toy box. wording implies that he's been wearing this same pair his whole life.

he likes baking/cooking, mostly because he gets to eat the sweets that he made. (househusband saiki... heh.)

he smiled a lot more freely as a kid. when he wasn't wearing a dazed expression, he looked like quite the cheerful child.

he helps kaido out with classwork by simply handing him his own work.

he rarely gets sick, and when he does he can cure himself by turning his body into an inferno through pyrokinesis. however, this means he knows next to nothing about medicine.

similarly, he's tragically naïve about the internet.

he's good at singing and likes karaoke (preferably singing by himself).

like kaido, he gets seasick. however, he fervently denies this. he seems to think himself impervious of the maladies regular people suffer from.

he has a bit of a girly run.

he likes using takahashi as a joke. "it's everyone's favorite, takahashi." he also hates takahashi because of his strong resemblance to akechi's childhood bully, takashi.

he likes hot baths.

when he walks home from school, he follows this routine: he stops at the convenience store, picks up coffee jelly, puts it back on the shelf, then continues home. ...incredible. he seems incapable of not staring at any nearby coffee jelly.

he may be willing to downplay his smarts/talents to avoid trouble, but he'll get competitive when he's with akechi or kusuke.

he's hesitant to cause his friends any harm, but will freely maim toritsuka, so long as the damage is immediately reversed.

he won't hesitate with kusuke, though.

lastly, and most importantly:

he's a cutie patootie <3

I like your saiteru posts but I can't shake the idea that Teruhashi only loves the idea of Saiki and not actually Saiki, especially since she hated when he gave her a glimpse of himself when he was competitive during their date.

ive seen this take floating around a few times, this whole "teruhashis mental image of saiki is wrong" "teruhashi wouldnt love him if she got to know him" "teruhashi hated any time she saw his REAL personality" and i just dont get it because like...

this scene?? the scene where hes being inconsiderate, rude, not taking her feelings into account, making her play games she doesnt even want to play, acting like a gooner, etc? THIS is the scene you thought was him showing her a glimpse of what hes really like??? where did you get that from?/genq

hes competitive, yeah, but this… isnt being competitive, its just being an asshole. thats not what hes like when hes trying to win. him wanting to win games and show off with his powers is not equivalent to being an inconsiderate tryhard who wants to make everyone do what he wants with no thought to what they want…

but youre ALSOOOOO forgetting that she actually did end up being like… “hehe i still wuv him 😚” after this…

so.. on THAT note, i need everyone to pay really really close attention to what im about to say…

she loves him when hes rude, inconsiderate, pushy, competitive…

she loves him when hes open, popular, kind, powerful, reading her mind…

she loves him when hes gloomy, monotone, boring, quiet…

she loves him when hes a GIRL.

so why is the conclusion here “she wouldnt love him for the real him”? the logical conclusion here seems to be “she would love him no matter what”

WHAT ABOUT THAT DOESNT SCREAM “LOVE”?

and regarding her "only loving his persona the same way people only love teruhashis", i think everything above disproves that anyway but i have to go more into it because not only have you misunderstood me but this also implies you think none of saiki and teruhashis friends truly love them at all 😭

saikis quiet, boring self isnt completely not him. its still him, just a different side of him than you might be used to as a viewer. you guys have to understand that although, yes, he is masking and putting up a front, that doesnt mean EVERY part of him that people see is fake 😭 its the same with teruhashi, she doesnt have a single tangible "true" self entirely on the inside and a single tangible "fake" self entirely on the outside, its NOT completely black and white! PEOPLE arent completely black and white!

youre forgetting that me saying those guys (the kokomins and all those gross ew men) dont love her because they dont know and see her was accompanied by a picture of them literally asking her to continue validating them immediately after she woke up from passing out 😭 they quite literally dont love or care about her, not even about her image, they just like the idea of her image and want her to make them feel good. the whole "nobody sees and knows and loves her" doesnt apply in the same way to yumehara and their other friends, they may not truly see her with the same depth that saiki does but that doesnt mean their care for her is fake, because they DONT care more about her image than just her and being in her company even if they do still see the parts of her that ARE fake.

you cant just take the idea that they fake a lot of themselves around others and morph that into "every single thing people see of them is fake and every single thing they dont see is an accurate representation of their true selves", it just doesnt work like that 😭 regardless of saikis power and silliness and sweetness and competitiveness, hes still a quiet guy with a gloomy face. and regardless of teruhashis cuntiness (lol) and competitiveness and obsessiveness and silliness, shes still a sweet girl who enjoys making people happy. they can be BOTH and thats okay!

this misunderstanding is like youre hearing someones thoughts and thinking "oh what a blunt person" like well... no because not everything in your head defines your personality or is something youd ever want or need to say aloud. everyone thinks crazy things, had wrong initial impressions, etc, do you see my point?? am i getting this across properly??? saiki still enjoys sitting in his house and doing nothing but eating coffee jelly and playing video games and teruhashi still enjoys when she makes people happy, those things arent fake just because they contribute to their fake personas... saiki also would not have been singing and doing standup or whatever the hell people are convinced he wouldve been doing at the mixer with someone hes "more comfortable" with, he doesnt do that shit around anyone 😭 not around his family and not around the psychickers, so im not sure where people got the idea that her thinking he would sit there and do nothing was her not understanding him or that the way he was making the guys act was how he truly wants to act 😭 he can sing and crack jokes but he never has around anyone so we dont know if thats what he wants to do, i dont even remember him making jokes aloud to the psychickers other than being a little sassy ☠️ the most i remember is him making short silly jokes to tease his dad or toritsuka... you guys just assume that hes the type of guy to stand up and sing and yell and make everyone roll over laughing because idk... maybe you cant stand the idea that your fav might not be a sexy loud confident alpha male and might actually be a little guy who loves video games and watching people and being a little brat on occasion ☠️

i feel like this take is just you guys taking both their insecurities SUPER seriously, because what else could be making you think that ANYONE who doesnt know about his powers doesnt truly love or care for saiki??

anyway... it clearly just doesnt matter to her how he acts because she just loves him and enjoys his company no matter what. thats love.

~At Saiki's House~

Saiki: *talking about Kuboyasu* I don't want to be his 'boyfriend.'

Aiura: Well babe, what do you want then?

Saiki: *frustrated, leans on the counter* I don't know! I just want to be with him... all the time. *sighing*

Saiki: I want to hear about his day and tell him about mine... I want to hold his hand and kiss his face...

Saiki: *scoffs, but hesitantly* But I don't want to be his stupid boyfriend!

[kusuokisser]

ive reached a point in being normal over saiki k where literally. A normal photo of saiki and all his friends will.make me cry upon seeing it. Not even like a sad pic or anything they could be having the time of their lives and id be like 😭😭😭THEY😭😭😭😭FUUUCKKK

[fagitsukareita]

NOW HEAR ME OUT i just think that WHILE kusuke was digging around in toritsuka's head, looking at all that impulsiveness and the honesty that only his little brother manages to force out of this piece of shit, wouldn't it just be SO kusuke to try to turn all those feelings tori has for kusuo back onto him... a little puppy crush, nothing kusuke would ever act on (obviously. he's better than that.). just something to leave tori itchy, to make him stare at kusuo and wonder why those feelings have started to ring unfamiliar, a little deja vu, because i think kusuke does, fundamentally, view tori as just another one of kusuo's toys. and if kusuke can't have what kusuo does, then he has to break it.

Eden: (smiling) What brought you two here?

Whit: (cheerfully, with Charles behind him) I wanted Teruko to come exploring with me and Cha-Cha!

Eden: (excited) Oooh! That's so fun!

Teruko: (deadpan) Uh, yeah. I'm not going.

Eden: (evil face, dragging Teruko down to eye-level) Your best buddies went out of their way to ask you in person! You're going exploring with them, Teruko...

Teruko: (fearing for her life) Oh dear...

[alien-slushie]

Toritsuka: Why are all the hot girls lesbian?!

Rifuta: Why are all the hot girls straight?!

Chiyo: Why are all the hot guys gay?!

Kaido: Why are all the hot guys straight?!

Teruhashi: Why are all the hot people taken?!

Aiura: Everyone is hot, what do I do?!

Saiki: what?

Loke, babysitting for Gray & Juvia: Okay Greige, let’s get some ice cream!

Greige: YAY!

Random Royal Army Guy: Hey, is this kid your little brother or something?

Loke: Huh? Oh, nah, I’m babysitting for my friend.

RRAG: Uh-huh, he seems to like you a lot…

Loke: Isn’t that better than the opposite?

RRAG: Hey little buddy, do you know this man?

Greige: YEAH! He’s actually a celestial spirit! Loke the Lion!

RRAG: hmm…13 years on the job and my gut says this is bad.

Loke: GET A NEW JOB!

What's your favourite saiki headcannon / fun fact?

im not really a headcannons person (i am not very creative unfortunately T_T) but i a head canon i have is that if (hopefully its more of a when for me at least) he reveals his powers he takes his friends cool places that he wouldnt otherwise like in space and stuff.(letting kaido live out his chunnibiyou dreams lol) i just think it'd be neat ya know? I'm not sure how his powers would make it work out but i think it'd be fun for them to go on sci-fi field trips and stuff

I also think that if he ever did decide to do a power reveal about it too i think he'd have the psy kickers help him out too. Before he was all alone and didnt have anyone else to talk to about his powers (besides his family). and its just like hey you dont have to do this alone? you dont have to be so worried about it? because they already know and try not to make a big deal of it so its like oh yeah. and of course the guys that dont know accept him for that but i think the fact that he has other people supporting him to make that decision is just. really important to me ya know?

Kuniharu defenders during every scene where Kuniharu calls Kusuo a monster to his face and/or tries to hurt him to "establish dominance":

💤 😴 💤 ‼️ oh whoopsies fell asleep a moment there! back to enjoying an amazing dad who is so kind and thoughtful to the son who solves his every problem and keeps him employed! 🥰 so glad that Kuniharu never expresses disbelief at the mere thought of his son being human and that Kuniharu loves Kusuo so much that he was totally up to having that love publicly measured in front of his family 🤗 it's the number that counts, not his actions~ and look how well he gets along with his wife, literally trying to beat the shit out of each other on the very first episode and getting into truly stupid arguments 😍 the part where he blew his ridiculously huge Valentine's budget at the bar getting drunk with the coworkers who abuse him daily was so romantic 💕 need me a man like that! one whose such a great father that both his kids hate themselves and each other and humanity and him! 😁

i had one of those dreams where you wake up and forget about it and it turns into a distant memory that you cant tell if it actually happened or was a dream, except it literally was not realistic and it had me taking "saiki k analysis" as a class in college, and it still took me a good hour to think back on it and be like hey... that didnt happen.
