It’s very humbling when you’re reading a book —part of a trilogy, very acclaimed— and the only thing you can think of is ‘the fanfic I read the other day was better’

My haitani father Shio headcanon is just a bit too funny cuz of how well it works that it sounds like a waste of perfect canon idea and crossover for both of wakui's works.

Aside from the obvious physical features very very obvious, identical eyes, nose, blonde eyebrows, rindou's face form, ran's hair color palette and (arguably) bonten hair style, blah blah i mean just look a the pictures below, you can also bring up any fact from either manga and add it to the hc and it fits in just SO WELL, i'll give the first example, The Haitanis are very obviously rich spoiled kids like have you seen their apartment? They have a fucking dj set, only rich kids with neglective powerful parents will have no problem paying for that, just saying, and even though i love him let's be real Shio is the type to be that parent, i mean cmon he's rich like crazy rich (filthy yakuza money yum yum) he tots would give his children WAY more than enough allowance so they can leave him alone, also the way they act, i've always the Haitanis were the type of kids that think they own the school cuz their dad is rich .

Nvm if this never becomes canon or both universes don't collide, it's just so entertaining to keep connecting the dots that were likely never there, like how Rindou is a heavy drinker cuz his father drank alot with the rest of the Yotsurugis and he tried to imitate him from a young age that it became an unhealthy habit or if you want to add more drama he only drinks cuz he looks up to his father but Shio favors Ran cuz he can posssibly succeed him (canon power complex) so Rindou resorted to drinking cuz it's the only thing like his dad that he can do. Heck yeah i made it angsty!!!

You can also add great context to his fear of Yakuza, picture this, when he was a kid he got up in the middle of night after hearing a loud noise to search for his parents and witnessed Shio (canon Yakuza) pew pew-ing some poeple and surrounded with scary men, that probably scarred him for life that he was so terrified when Kakucho got them interfering with some, OH OH something just came to mind, if he's the son of a yakuza yeah he didn't wanna clash with other yakuza families cuz it can end in a blood shed and risk his and his family's lives.

And i'm gonna add this one not very small detail and i swear i'll shut up (for now), i know it's just a stupid headcanon that is very far from becoming reality and i don't have to take it this deep but hear me out, why their last name is Haitani and not Yotsurugi like their dad, Shio is powerful and have many enemies right ? So he simply decided to protect his children and their identity by giving them another last name likely their mother's (yk like minato with naruto style plan ?) So Haitani is actually their mom's family name. I rest my case. Thank you for coming to my useless ted talk.

The Forgotten Curse

They don’t tell his story. They don’t whisper his name in fear, though they should. Before Stefan, before Damon, before the Petrova bloodline wove its tangled web of fate — there was Cassian. The first. The original shadow. The doppelgänger no one remembers.

Cassian was the first known Heretic — a creature that shouldn’t exist, a vampire with the power of a witch. Magic didn’t die in his veins when he turned. No, it burned brighter. Stronger. Uncontrollable. He was a walking paradox, an insult to nature, and he reveled in it. A spell on his lips, a blade in his hand, blood on his conscience (not that he ever cared).

Imagine: Cassian, with Damon’s face but none of his smile. Magic in his veins, darkness in his soul. Not just a doppelgänger – but an anomaly. A threat. A legend never told. He didn’t just destroy, he made you love the destruction.

Born of Silas’s sin and nature’s cruel balance, Cassian was never just a reflection. He was fire and ice, silk and steel. A charmer with a silver tongue and a wicked glint in his eyes, a man who could kiss you breathless one moment and tear your world apart the next. His smile could be warm, inviting — dangerously deceptive. Because beneath the smooth words and effortless charm was something far more terrifying: a predator.

Damon may be reckless, Klaus may be cruel, but Cassian? Cassian was unpredictable. One moment, a charming rogue with a playful smirk, the next, a cold-blooded nightmare with eyes that held centuries of malice. He didn’t break hearts; he shattered souls. // Proud Brother of Talia.

What should one do when consumed with love, but is caught betwixt the heart and fealty? Lancelot chose the former, but in doing so, committed an offense most grievous against his King. Sonic's only sin was in being the apple of his subject's eyes, something the latter cannot bring himself to repudiate.

Sonic does not need the sonnets, ballads, nor gestures grand and humble. But who else is there to fill the place beside Sonic but this one whom fate decreed should serve at his right hand, so that all the world could admire this beautiful creature for themselves? Who can convince the heart to depart from its secret sanctuary, where it had only just begun to stretch and grow comfortable?

There can only be one to partake in such a perilous and noble quest. One must be selfish to take this selfless journey—a sacrifice Lancelot was willing to make.

Only love knows how to best express itself—perhaps one can guess in what way. Lancelot need not guess, for he was bewitched, as he was made to believe, with no power to deny the passion which made his mouth go dry when he laid eyes on the fathomless blue-green oceans his beloved stared back with every day, a vast and inscrutable distance separating the two as Lancelot leaned in to ask if his King felt anything different about his most faithful of servants.

Sonic did not back away, not even to flee his most faithful subject in a flash.

But he knew also.

Perhaps this was the reason why he remained.

Sorry to pop off about Poppy Playtime again but I can’t stop thinking about Doey and how much of an interesting character he is.

He’s not just a child in a toy body. He’s three completely different children trapped in the same body. Jack has memories, happy memories of his parents and home which was snatched away from him and thrown into a place completely alien to him. Kevin was deemed “””a problem child””” (which would have been made worse due to being tortured and losing trust with all adults) and Matthew was a teenager with PTSD, self esteem issues and an overwhelming need to protect others. They combined three children with so much different emotion, desperation to survive and struggle. It’s heartbreaking.

Whether you saw “doey is the final boss!” as an obvious, his pain and struggles as a bigger body is something really unique and I genuinely feel he’s the most interesting character in the series and a very interesting take on the playtime “villains”. I just think he’s neat

loving the parallels we’re already seeing between priest/imuri and verge/dante this arc. like yeah there’s the obvious fact that both priest and verge will seemingly be spending this arc trying to heal/bring back their lovers, but there’s also the fact that both of their “masks” seem to be slipping

priest is acting a lot more petulant and childish, demanding things go his way, acting a lot more akin to the arrogant child we saw in chapter one. priest tries to stay calm and collected a lot of the time, to present himself as god’s perfect soldier. but he’s only a kid, and one with major control issues at that. he’s regressing back to his younger self (his “true” self?), prideful and arrogant and certain things will go his away because they have to. because he needs them to, or else he doesn’t know if he can go on

conversely, verge is being a lot calmer, a lot more somber, akin to the soft-spoken caretaker we saw in chapter 79’s flashback. verge portrays himself as a very childish, immature person. one of dante’s most constant complaints is how verge refuses to act his age. he’s competent, of course, but he likes to tease and taunt and deflect when things get too serious. but dante’s actions have pushed him to confront reality again, the one he’d been escaping through witchcraft and fantastical revenge plots, once more returning to the serious, grounded one of the two. tending to dante’s wounds and cleaning up his messes

the ice pop trio is a great example of how goddamn good the cotc writers are at making organic character interractions; there's a ton of characters from various "groups" (some if which you'd never even imagine having any sort of correlation), but they could put any 2 out of those hundreds of kids in a room together and be able to create a genuinely interesting conversation between them without making it forced/awkward
