Could you do answer the questions to prompt seven for HOMRA?

C

Of course I can! Thank you so much for the request and I hope you’ll enjoy the headcanons 😊

Send me a fandom and I will name a character… 

Who I will protect at all costs

Okay, but I think I’ve answered this enough so that everyone knows my answer here. It’s Eric, for all the reasons I’ve already stated when talking about him previously – I just connect with him hard and want so much good for him.

Who deserves better

It’s really hard to narrow this down. All of HOMRA are, to some extent, underdogs. They’ve all had some real hard bumps and experiences in their life that they just didn’t deserve. Mikoto didn’t ask to be the next Red King, he has troubles connecting with others, he feels alone in a lot of ways. Totsuka was physically weaker than others and I think it’s shown that he was kind of bullied a little or maybe that’s just so ingrained in my personal headcanons before he got in with Mikoto and Kusanagi. Kusanagi puts a lot of pressure on his own shoulders and he often gets involved in a lot of shit because he loves his friends but I also see him as not really fitting here because he’s the most well-adjusted, in my mind. Anna’s past is tragic. Yata has his whole complicated thing with struggling to find a place for him and Fushimi to belong, then the whole friendship deteriorating with Fushimi. Kamamoto was bullied because he was the fat kid and is still bullied about that, especially by Yata. Shouhei struggled, I think, in middle and high school to find his identity, fell in with a bad crowd, and on top of that, he can be too selfless for his own good, which I do think leaves him a little vulnerable to cleaning up other people’s messes for them. Bandou has that wicked inferiority complex. Chitose has the whole thing with his ex-girlfriend. Dewa has Chitose. Eric’s whole past is tragic. Fuji is the only other one, besides Kusanagi, that I don’t really see fitting here but even then, he’s not really very ambitious, didn’t do well in school, and a lot of people look down on him. In their own ways, all of them deserved a little better but I really wouldn’t have wanted them to have got better because then we wouldn’t have gotten the amazing characters we did get.

Who was killed off too early

Hmm, I wonder what my answer is going to be here? It’s not like there was a character who, when the anime came out, was introduced posthumously. Not at all…sarcasm aside, of fucking course it’s Totsuka. We really only get properly introduced to who he is as a person, his bonds with the others, how he acted and what his life was like in the additional material that came out either alongside or after the anime. I really would have liked to see, before the anime’s first season came out, MOR and DOB come out as teasers, even Lost Small World and Stray Dog. Make each chapter into a half-length episode, 10-15 minutes a piece and introduce us to the character’s and groups properly. Get us interested with and attached to these characters before the reveal of Totsuka’s death and then move us into the first season proper. To me, it would have been a smarter and more effective method of story telling and probably would have made the show into something that really would have become very much a cult classic favourite, especially if the animation budget was kind of boosted just a little bit.

Who I used to hate but now I love

There wasn’t really any members of HOMRA that I really plain out hated from the offset or something, but I was largely neutral about the ABC boys when I watched the first season. They didn’t stick out in my head and I wasn’t as in love with them as I am now. It was only after reading MOR that they all became my absolute favourites within HOMRA.

Who I used to love but now I hate

I think I’ve mentioned this before but Mikoto was my absolute favourite in the first couple episodes. My lord, he was hot, his power was cool, I loved his voice, everything about him was amazing. He was my favourite HOMRA member and I was all in on him. While I still really enjoy him, quite a bit in fact, he’s no longer my favourite HOMRA member. In fact, he’s pretty far down on the list, though I should clarify that I like every single member of HOMRA.

Who needs to be killed off asap

I really don’t think HOMRA needs any more of its members to die. I think they’ve experienced enough of that, thank you.

Who is unfairly hated

KAMAMOTO!!!! I practice Kamamoto love on this blog and hope it spreads much further and much more pronounced within the fandom. I think that, because he doesn’t fit the stereotype the other boys do – bishie, badass anime boy – he just isn’t as seen and appreciated. He’s fat (because he likes to be), he sports facial hair, he has a horrible sense of style, but he’s still this fantastic character – he’s supportive, loyal, he can have genuinely funny moments, he’s generous, he’s true to himself – and I personally don’t think he’s all that physically unattractive…well, besides the, like I said, AWFUL fashion sense.

Who is unfairly loved

I won’t say it’s completely unfair. I see the appeal of the character, though he has never ever been among my favourites but I do think that Yata fits the best here. I’m taking not only the fandom in mind here but also thinks this applies within the show itself. Even forgetting the other supporting characters, like the ABC boys and Kamamoto, Yata gets such a huge emphasis in the show that I find there are definitely points within the story where it feels like the author’s have decided it’s not K PROJECT anymore but instead it’s the Yata story. He eclipsed, at points, the characters who were supposed to be the main focus, like Mikoto. Within fandom, I think a large part of why he’s so loved lies within the ship of him and Fushimi and yeah, I get the appeal of the characters and the ship, I get the appeal of Yata as a character for those who have OCs or self-ships for him, but I just think he’s kind of overrated.

Who needs to sort out their priorities

The writers? The creators? I know that’s outside of the scope of HOMRA though, so trying to focus on just that group. When I do that, I really can’t come up with an answer though. Part of what I love about this group is that they don’t always focus on the right things, they’re messy, they get into trouble, they don’t have their shit all straightened out. There’s a couple exceptions, of course, but a large part of the appeal of HOMRA, to me, is that they feel real and most real people don’t have their priorities completely straightened out all of the time.

Who needs a hug

Every single damn one of them? HOMRA did not have a good time of it in any of the canon materials. Even in MOR, we see so many moments that are rough on them. These boys, every single one of them, needs a big hug followed by a self-care day with massages, pampering, plus whatever makes them individually happy, followed by a veritable feast for supper and the world’s best night of sleep – I’m talking like a solid ten hours of deep sleep with the sweetest of dreams.

Who needs to get out of their current relationship

Again, while I can think of some answers here, I am going to have to go with nobody. The complicated, sometimes messy, bonds between all these boys (and Anna) or with them and the people in the world around them are a large part of what drives the story and makes it so good!

Who the writers love

Yata, for the reasons written above, and, going along with that, Fushimi. Again, there’s just sooooo goddamn emphasis placed on these two, to the point where, in some episodes and especially in some additional material, I really do think the authors really didn’t want to tell the story of K PROJECT but wanted to tell the Yata and Fushimi stories or plain out would have preferred to make a BL anime based around these two.

Who needs a better storyline

Totsuka and Mikoto. I can still very much behind having them die. I think it makes sense narrative-wise. I think it’s a great decision and one I would still keep if I were personally writing the story. In some ways, both of their deaths were needed and inevitable. What I have issues with is, like pointed out above, Totsuka really needed more introduction before the anime proper – he needed something to make the audience genuinely care about him, outside of them just thinking he’s a cute anime boy or being curious about what his relationship with everyone was like. MOR is what really brought about, in my mind, the storyline Totsuka needed and I still wish it came out earlier. Mikoto is such a fascinating character. I get that some of his appeal comes from him being mysterious, but I do wish more focus was given, especially within the anime’s first season, on really fleshing him out, giving us more of a peek inside of his mind and personality.

Who has an amazing redemption arc

I guess Eric and Shouhei are really the only ones I can think of who fit here at all. Between the two of them though, Eric had the better redemption arc. He went there to kill Mikoto and instead ended up becoming one of HOMRA and it was a beautifully done little story.

Who is hot af

All of them. HOMRA is a gang of very attractive men and let’s not lie – that’s part of why we love them. They’re also varied enough, in their looks, their designs, their fashion sense, their personalities, that there’s a HOMRA boy for everyone’s taste.

Who belongs in jail

Chitose can go to horny jail, in my opinion, any time he talks about Anna and how she’ll grow up into a looker. I remember that comment, though I don’t think it was worded quite like that, and visibly and noticeably flinching away from my screen because just…fucking yikes and gross, my dude.

Who needs to be revived from the dead

Nobody. If someone was revived from the dead, it would kind of defeat the purpose and impact of the deaths within the show. However, if I have to choose, I’m going to cheat by not using HOMRA proper but the Red Clan and say it’s Genji Kagutsu, just because I’m curious about him.

✖ for homra!

Send me a X and 7 characters and I’ll tell you who would be:

The Survivor

Okay, setting the scene for the movie here. All of HOMRA rents a cabin in the woods for a vacation. Anna’s not there, but all the HOMRA boys are, so there are more than seven characters here and because of that, I think there’s more than just the one survivor. While one of the survivors were my choice for who made the most sense to survive, the other survivors are simply the ones who didn’t fit the other sections, haha, so I admit there was a bit of a cheat used there. The survivors are Shouhei, Chitose, Eric, Kamamoto, and Kusanagi.

The Culprit

To finish setting the scene, while at this isolated cabin in the middle of the woods, while exploring, the boys discover this weird underground bunker on the property. They all want to explore it, though Yata, Kamamoto, and Fujishima all kind of decide not to go in for various reasons (Fujishima doesn’t like spaces that are underground, even basements creep him out and the other two are freaked out by the bunker even if they don’t admit it). Everyone checks it out and this bunker is freaky with a capital F. There’s these weird occult books, there’s some bloodstains on a metal table that’s in the middle of the room, there’s creepy looking handmade contraptions hanging on the wall. Everyone’s kind of stunned by what they find and most of them are too afraid to touch anything. Mikoto isn’t too fazed by any of it though. It’s weird, yeah, but it’s obviously long-abandoned and he’s just kind of chilling, looking around. Curious, he opens one of the many books and he reads a handwritten jumble of words and letters that don’t quite make sense in his mind. Immediately after doing so, he gets an absolutely splitting, incredibly painful headache. The pain is worse than anything he’s ever known, bringing him to his knees. All the boys rush to his side and everyone gets out of the bunker, intent on getting Mikoto back to the cabin, leaving everything else untouched. Mikoto goes unconscious before they even get to the cabin. He remains almost comatose for a full day afterwards, almost two. It’s getting to the point that the boys are starting to really worry and they’re talking about leaving and bringing Mikoto to the hospital…then he wakes up. When he wakes up, the camera would zoom in on his face, where the viewers get to see his eyes are pure black for a moment, before they clear up to his normal look. Mikoto casually strolls out and it seems like all is going to be fine. Until the murder starts happening – of course, the killer is very much the demon-possessed Mikoto.

The First Victim

Sorry guys, but I have to do it. First blood is spilled by Totsuka dying. I just can’t not kill Totsuka. It wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t, especially when presented with such an obvious choice. He doesn’t even get a proper on-screen death scene, but it’s rather that his dead body is found by his friends. The impact of this on the group is really touching (or it should be, if the acting wasn’t so hammy) and it’s what really kicks the movie up into high gear.

The One Who Almost Made It

Fujishima makes it almost all the way through. He fades into the background of most scenes and any viewers who aren’t immediately taken by his looks (and decide he’s their favourite because of that) are going to forget that Fuji’s there. It’s because he’s kind of went invisible, hiding in the shadows of those who are more outspoken or dramatic, that the killer seems to forget about Fuji. He would have made it out of everything completely free and clear, without any serious injuries or issues. Too bad Fuji’s heart is just too big for his own good. The remaining boys, at this point in the movie, had all figured out that they needed to get back into the bunker to find the book and read the spell that had called the demon forth, only in reverse to seal the demon back up again. Mikoto was guarding the bunker by that point though, knowing the boy’s would realize what they had to do. Everyone’s arguing on what to do, everyone’s offering to put their own lives on the line for their friends, and it’s all going nowhere. Fuji just quietly stands up and, by the time the other boys realize he’s gone, Fuji is deep into battle with Mikoto, slowly drawing the older boy further and further away from the bunker, giving the rest of them the opportunity needed to get into the structure.

The Comic Relief

Again, to kind of cover their bases on all fronts, the creators of the movie really bring in two main comedic relief characters. On one hand, you have Yata, whose show-offy moments, little temper tantrums, and cool one liners have people smiling, laughing and having a good time. Bandou’s pettiness and snarkiness fills in the other half and because he’ll come out with some really black comedy, he appeals a lot to those with a more warped sense of humour. Both of them really excel at bringing levity and lightness back into scenes, but they both shine the brightest at the beginning of the movie, hooking the readers in and getting them invested in all the different characters.

The Genre Savvy

Dewa and Kusanagi both are really intelligent. They’re pretty quick to catch on to things and both of them have quite a bit of common sense, enough not to rush off half-cocked without learning what’s going on. However, of the two of them, I think Dewa is actually kind of into horror movies. He’s watched enough of them to realize not only the standard horror tropes, but to have seen plenty of exorcism scenes, to know the subversions and inversions of the tropes, and to generally be able to guess at how things might turn out next. He's an invaluable part of the team and is able to get them all pretty far – until Mikoto snaps his neck. The scene itself is gross and kind of cool all at the same time. Dewa’s in the middle of talking when Mikoto just appears behind him, we hear a snap, and then Dewa’s last words are on his lips but his head is turned a full 180˚

The Pretty One

There is no single pretty one in this movie. Honestly, the movie is kind of generic horror movie, tropey nonsense but the studio knows there will be all kinds of ticket sales because they purposefully cast a bunch of really hot guys in it. They make sure to get distinctly different types of hot though, just to make sure they’ll have a type to appeal to everyone. The movie is very much hot boys doing hot boys things, with lots of violence, some nudity, gore, and horror movie tropes. It more than earns its R rating.
