Tokoyami Fumikage x Reader: Applying crow-like instincts to Tokoyami [Head Canons].

This is from an ask I received, and I’m so happy to do this because I adore Tokoyami. He needs more love. Also, if anyone has any other asks for me feel free to send them!

What would these crow tendencies mean to Tokoyami Fumikage:

(Number 11 involves sex.)

1. “Crows have a varied and evolved language. They can mimic the sounds made by other animals, and they learn to associate noises with events, especially with the distribution of food.“ If you want to learn a new language, look no further than Tokoyami. It’s easy for him to learn a language. If you go to foreign countries that you’ve never been to before on vacation, all it takes is reading a language book on the plane and listening to the locals talk for Tokoyami to be able to parrot back the language rather well, especially when it comes to ordering at restaurants. It’s nice not to need a translator with him around.

2. “Crows are omnivorous, and they don’t seem to be picky eaters. Their diet includes fruits, mice, frogs and carrion.“

“What should we eat for dinner tonight?”

“Whatever you want.” And Tokoyami means it when he says it. He’s not the type to deny anything you chose, and you can sit there and name various places and different cuisine options, and he’ll say ‘yes’ to every one. Anything is fine to him. He only seems into it when apples are involved!

3. “Crows maintain only one mate for their entire life. They don’t reach sexual maturity until they reach the age of 2 but some often wait longer to get their soulmate. Once they find their soulmate, it is a lifetime’s bonding!“ Tokoyami and Hawks have definitely had this conversation before, and they see their love lives in the exact same light. “I’m only falling in love and getting married once,” Hawks says.

“I feel the exact same way.” And Tokoyami has expressed this to you as well. He also has no problem taking his relationship with you slow if that’s what you want. He’ll wait for you no matter how long it takes, and he’ll always see you as his one and only.

4. “ Both parents take care of the babies and help them with feeding. That may not be weird but this is weird – some of the offspring will actually stay back to look after the next batch of babies.” Tokoyami is a very involved father. When your babies are newborns he has absolutely no problem waking up in the middle of the night when they’re hungry to feed them with a bottle. Half because he wants you to get your sleep, and the other half is because he likes the bonding time with his kids. And if you and Tokoyami end up with another baby later in life, when your other kids are older they will help with it as well, possibly even offering to move back temporarily.

5. “A crow is actually a songbird and it has a complex system of calls.“ If you are careful enough, you’ll be able to hear him singing in the shower, and when you do his voice absolutely melts your heart. Tokoyami is a really good singer, though waves that off if you mention it. He does, however, not mind playing his guitar around you.

6. “Crows have such high level of intelligence that it has been observed that if a crow is unable to crack a nut, then it puts it on a highway so that vehicle could pass over it to crack it open. It was also observed that they prefer to put the nut under smaller vehicles so that the kernel is not be reduced to pulp!“ Tokoyami is incredibly smart, and it’s easy for him to solve any problems that you might have. You could be stumped with something all day, but if you take it to Tokoyami he can solve it quickly without fail. And while you’re just looking at him in amazement, especially since he manged to come up with a way to solve it that you didn’t even consider, he just shrugs.

7. “Crows, being the smart birds that they are, investigate an area for possible threats after another crow dies there.“ Tokoyami is a bit more protective than he’d like to think. He doesn’t want you going into any areas that have a large crime rate. In fact, if you’re planning to go somewhere new, Tokoyami will check it out beforehand, whether it’s in person or via the internet.

“Hey, is that Tokoyami and the other guys over there?” Mina asked, drink in her hand. You just rubbed your eyes, knowing that this would happen the second you told Tokoyami that the bar you were going to had a fight happen in it last week.

8. “ Crows will adopt: Cornell researchers witnessed something both heartbreaking and heartwarming: after an adult crow known simply as RV died of West Nile virus, his children were orphaned. Amazingly, his neighbor and crow friend adopted and cared for the baby crows!” It’s no doubt that Tokoyami is a hero. Every time he has to handle a case where a little child is involved and unprotected, his heart breaks for them. You’ve gotten used to him coming home with children saying that you’ll both look after the child until a proper home for them can be found. You don’t mind this at all, and you find it very cute. After all, you knew that if it were realistic for Tokoyami to adopt every child that needed it, then he would.

9. “They can solve puzzles: For a study, researchers once assigned a crow a simple puzzle involving eight tasks—picking up objects, moving them, and other complex steps. The crow had never seen them in sequence before. Yet, the crow finished it easily—the first bird to ever accomplish anything like it.“ If you do not like to lose, then don’t play puzzle games with Tokoyami. It takes him no time at all to figure puzzles out, and he does so effortlessly. You could cheat the system, however, and employ his help when you play with people that aren’t him! Midoriya still can’t seem to figure out how you managed to beat his high score at online sudoku so quickly.

10. “Corvids are all about family: Mama crows don’t push their young from the nest as soon as they can fly.” Hawks and Tokoyami talk about family, too as well! Tokoyami dotes on his kids, spending lots of time with them. He doesn’t force them to make life decisions, but rather gently encourages them, letting them know that they will always have the help of their family. You don’t exactly mind that, in fact, you find it cute. You just wish he would stop spoiling them...Seriously, when you came to know him, you didn’t think the children you had together would have him wrapped around their tiny fingers.

11. “The mating habits of this bird take place on the ground. The male bird has a courtship display of facing the female and fluffing his body feathers. Then he partially spreads his wings and tail and proceeds to bow repeatedly while uttering a brief rattling song. Once a male and female have mated, they perch together and may touch bills and preen each other's feathers.” Before you have sex, Tokoyami likes to make sure he’s nice and presentable, usually. He doesn’t just go it, looking any kind of way. And he also makes sure to court you before having sex (at least for the first time or special occasions.) He takes you to dinner and makes sure to properly seduce you. Once you’re both done having sex, he does an amazing job with the aftercare, holding you close, kissing you, and stroking his fingers through your hair. He definitely wants you to feel loved.

My Reaction to “Gotham” S4E3

*slamming my hands on my laptop repeatedly while trying to comfort a sulky dog*  LOOOOOOAAAADDDDD!!

AN:  I managed to record my reactions to this episode and hopefully I can transcribe what I said into this post. 

So Jim’s gonna go see Falcone?  That’s gonna go well.

Wait, we’re gonna see Lee again?  When are we gonna see Lee again?

“I am Ra’s al Ghul.”  Good to know!

We’re gonna see Bruce leap around in this Proto-Batsuit?

The jacket still needs a little work... but it looks nice

Whoa...

What is this battlefield?

What is going on?

[Arabia 125 AD]  *gasps*  OK, this is definitely gonna be a Ra’s al Ghul episode

Whoa!

*claps with each word*  Seriously, what is going on?

Is that Ra’s?

What....

*slips into horrible Cockney accent*....is going oooooon....

Whoa, OK, so the Lazarus Pit was around before Ra’s came around?

...Kaaaaayyyy...

“I [Ra’s] was no more.”  “And now you live.”  Great!  Good to know!

Even Ra’s looks like he has no clue what’s freaking going on...

“[Ra’s] You must find your heir, as I found you.”  The heir to what?

Oh that’s a cool shot [of Ra’s hand grabbing the knife]

Wait, isn’t that the same knife that Bruce and Barbara kill him with in the S4 finale?

AN:  Yes

What’s going on, guys?

GUUUUYYYYSSSSS....

*scats the opening theme*

[Shot of the moon over Gotham City]  *sing songs*  Hello moon!

Not sure how I feel about the mask... you gotta put ears on it!

I really want Bruce to try this dramatic Batman entrance and he just ends up pratfalling in. 

Think like Bruce in “Thor Ragnarok.”  It’s just *makes splat noise with mouth and slaps hand*

Yeah, how did Alfred make Bruce’s mask?  That’s my question.

Whoa...

Mysterious hooded figure in Gotham...

*slaps hand on desk with each word*  That’s not weird at all!  This is Gotham.

Alfred:  Bruce, walk away.

Bruce:  Naaahh!

“Now walk away.”  *starts singing "Walk Away” from High School Musical 3*

Alfred’s like “God dammit, Masta Bruce!”

Oh it’s Selina!

What’s Selina doing at the docks?

*Bruce fights his way through a barrage of machine gun fire*  Whooooooooo.... oooohhh!!!

Yeah, that’s Selina.  Honey, what are you doing?!?

Oooohhh, I don’t know what that city is but it looks nice.

*ends up singing “Despacito” for no god damn reason*

AN:  It’s Miami.  They just did some crazy coloring to make everything look warmer.

Oh that shot of the horse’s eye though!

This show has some really nice cinematography.

Oh hello Sofia!

I thought Sofia in the comics was- well, when I first saw in in “The Long Halloween”- like really tall and broad.  Well that was the way Tim Sale here so...

Hello, Falcone!  How are you enjoying retirement?

“Carmine.”  Bitch!

I cannot believe Jim has the freaking balls to go visit Falcone when he murdered his son last season!

Oh my God, I would want to steal Falcone’s retirement home right now!  It looks so nice!

Wait, doesn’t Sofia get freaking shot in the head later this season?  And she somehow survives?  Like, what’s going on with that?

AN:  Yes.

“Who’s this?”  Oh yeah, this is James Gordon.  He killed your [Sofia’s] brother.

How is this whole scene not seeping in awkward?

She [Sofia] should be livid with rage!  The dude killed her brother!

“I’m [Falcone] dying.  Doctors don’t know why.  Maybe old age.  Karma.  They seem to think the air is better down here for me, give me more time.”  So is Sofia gonna in his place or what?  How does Sofia end up in Gotham?

“I [Bruce] let my guard down, Alfred.  It wouldn’t happen again.”  *coughs in hilarity*  Five minutes later.

“Oh, no, where do you [Bruce] think you’re going?”  “To the docks.”  Oh my freaking God, Bruce.

*Barbara shows off one of her guns to a potential buyer*  Whoa...

Yeah, Barbara, get rid of the haircut.  Now!

Oh my gosh, Oswald, what’s with your hair?  Is that a hair extension?  If so, you’re going a little bit too far, buddy.

Who... is this...

Whaat...

*cracks up when Oswald finds the Ed-sicle missing and starts screaming*

“THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!!!!!”  “I [Victor] don’t know.  Kinda opens up the room.”  HAHAHAhahaha

“I [Oswald] want Ed back here today!”  Attachment issues, much?

Who is that [Ed’s kidnapper/rescuer]?

*Ed finds a bunch of fan clippings on the wall next to him*  Oh oh OOOOHHH...

“I [Myrtle] could say I’m your number one fan.”  That’s just creepy.

Ed just looks so done with Myrtle, oh my God.

“How long was I [Ed] on ice?”  “Five months.”  Whoa!

“With me [Myrtle] as your sidekick, of course.  Doesn’t that sound wonderful, my love?”  That does not sound wonderful.  Stop calling him love!

*Bruce goes in disguise as a street kid on the docks*  Oh my gosh, Bruce...

How does no one recognize that that is Bruce Wayne?!?

Bruce, what are you doing...

Yeah, Bruce needs to voice on the voices a little bit.  He’s getting there!

“It’s clear that this isn’t about profit, but about your [Barbara’s] mysterious benefactor.  He is your client, is he not?”  Yeah, it has to be Ra’s.  She’s working for Ra’s.

Why does Oswald want the knife?  What interest does he have in the knife?

*imitates Bruce’s pronounciation of “Ra’s”*

Here’s my question:  if that is the only weapon that can kill Ra’s, then how did he let it get out of his possession, after all this time?  Seriously.

Likin’ the totally non-conspicous sunglasses Jim has...

Oh my gosh, she’s [Sofia] tall.

“To my dad.”  And to my brother, whom you [Jim] murdered.

*laughing*  How is no one bringing up the fact that Jim killed Mario?

“He [Mario] was infected with the virus.  [Jim] You did what you had to do.”  Oh, so it’s just like that then?  OK.

Here’s my question:  how did Myrtle get access to the lounge?

*Myrtle shows off her homage dress*  Oh it’s a cute dress!

Dude, you [Ed] were stuck in ice for five months.  Yeah, you definitely need time to recover.

What is that?

“What’s black and white and red all over?”  Newspaper.

*gets confused when Ed gets the answer wrong*

“I have a face and two hands, but no arms or legs.”  Clock.

Oh that sky looks awesome!

They’re [Jim and Sofia] walking barefoot on the beach together... and I don’t know how to feel about them as a couple!

Oh... oh...oh...

*Sofia kisses Jim*   Ooooooooooooohhhhh maann...

Oh my gosh, he’s [Bruce] wearing a black bow tie!

“Play the role that you [Bruce] were born to play.”  “You mean behave like a spoiled brat?”  Yes.

“Bruce Wayne, billionaire brat.”  *claps hands*  Let’s go.

This version of Bruce Wayne is awesome.  I’d definitely rank him up there with Kevin Conroy and Ben Affleck.  I think it’s mainly because we see Bruce Wayne in this show become Batman rather than in most stuff, where that transition has already happened.  Here, they focus on him as a kid, and it seems way more natural.

*absolutely loses it when Brat!Bruce tries high fiving Alfred, who almost considers it*

“I’m gonna put it in my... my bathroom!”  HAHAHAHAHAHA

“Technically, you [Bruce] are the richest man in the room, but let's not try and buy absolutely everything, shall we?”  “True, but if I only bid on the knife everyone's been trying to steal from Penguin, it might draw his suspicion. If I go on a spending spree, recklessly throwing my money around, he won't think twice.”  ...Yeah... I mean...

Bruce look so smug that he’s figured out this billionaire brat persona.  Four for you, buddy!

“Barbara Kean.  I [Bruce] thought she died.”  “Unfortunately, nobody stays dead in this town.”  True!

Whoa...

*smiles when Bruce tries outbidding Barbara by one dollar for the knife*

“300 thousand dollars... and one cent!”  OH HO HO HOOOO!!! 

Oh my God!

*cracks up when Bruce smugly thanks Barbara*

You notice that when Oswald started warning him about Barbara, Bruce’s persona just dropped.  He’s like “OK.  Game time.”

“What’s red and green and goes round and round.”  Frog in a blender.

“The answer, obviously, isn’t ‘newspaper.’”  *gives Ed a confused look*

*gasps when Ed knocks out Myrtle with the riddle book*

“Frog in a blender!”  What the heck kind of riddle is that?  Why is that in a kids’ book?

Here’s my question:  why doesn’t Bruce tell Selina about this whole shindig with Ra’s al Ghul?  Seriously.

Wait a minute, doesn’t Ra’s die for this like first time early this season?

Yeah, ‘cause they bring him back in episode 19 but then he dies again in the season finale, so it’s like “Umm.... what?”

Jiiiiiiimmm!

Harper!

Sofia!

Wait, so how old is Sofia?  She said she moved down when she was 13, so she has to be 23 or something right?  Like five years or so younger than Gordon, at least?

“We [Sofia and Jim] can do great things together, you and I.  I’ll be in touch.” That sounds... very bad!

*snorts in hilarity when Victor answers the frog in a blender riddle correctly*

Oh my gosh, I like Oswald’s blue gloves

Where the heck did Ed go?

Eeeeeeeeeeddd, where are you goingggggggg....

[Welcome to the Iceberg Lounge]  *imitating Penguin*  I froze my crush because he did not like me!

Nice.

Whoa...

OK, that has to be Ra’s, right?

He’s gonna be like “Yeah, uh, hey Barbara?  Where’s the knife?“

Barbara:  Ummm, let see, there’s a funny story about that... I didn’t get it...

Awkward...

“That knife is the key to everything.”  It’s the key to killing him!

*makes extremely loud disgusted noise when Barbara proceeds to make out with Ra’s* 

NO!

Ohhh, no, I did not like that at all!  Noo!
