fox omikuji figurines - YELL JAPAN - 2000's

"Omikuji (おみくじ or 御神籤) are fortunes, generally bought from temples and shrines in Japan. 'Omikuji' is often translated as 'sacred lot.' The word kuji means lottery, and getting your omikuji always comes with an element of randomness. What’s the point of a fortune if you get to choose it, anyway?

They’ve been around since the Muromachi Period (1336–1573) and were originally based on collections of Chinese poems. Even today, many will feature a poem that relates to the meaning somehow." - Rakuten Travel

So normally my headcanon is something like "Romeo went to Japan to get away from the ruins of his family's fortune and his old life and Taiga basically adopted him"

But I was listening to the Taiga chat where he asks Haru if he's fattened up Peekaboo yet. And when he says 'you're not even gonna say hello' in Japanese he uses an auxillary verb, 'chau'. But i was only half listening and it sounds like 'ciao', which he does say, albeit usually as goodbye and not hello.

And a new headcanon hit me.

Taiga, in all his impulsiveness. . .one day decided to take a flight to Italy.

Went to the nearest airport, threw down some cash, got on a plane, and went to Italy. If you ask him why he wouldn't remember why. It was just something he decided to do. Probably had a real good slice of pizza or something and went 'i bet they have even better pizza in italy'. He has plenty of money from gambling and a life of crime, he can afford to just. Leave the country for a while.

Somewhere along the line he met Romeo--before Romeo's family went to shit even. And, oops, Romeo is the prettiest person he has ever seen.

Unfortunately Romeo has guards.

Unfortunately for Romeo's guards, Romeo may have not be a ghoul at this point, but Taiga was.

And Romeo was impressed. Because honestly what do they even pay these people for? He basically decides to take Taiga home like he found a stray animal and Taiga decided to stick around and play bodyguard. It was pretty boring being a bodyguard but he was really fascinated by Romeo.

And then things went to hell and Romeo lost everything. Taiga had Romeo stay out of sight while he kept anyone who dared to hunt him down away from him.

But he couldn't keep a demon away from him.

Romeo came out of hiding, caused a few electrical explosions, and fled with Taiga. He apologized to him--he'd never done that before--and bitterly said he didn't have anything left to give him for keeping him safe. He even gave up his soul just now. What an idiot, giving up the one thing he had left.

". . .you've got your body left, don't you?" It was a tone suspiciously like the one the demon had used for him, but Taiga couldn't keep his composure and laughed. "I guess I just have to take you then!"

And before Romeo knew it he was on a flight to Japan.

Here we go again....

They already annoyed me by changing up the relationship parameters between Bri and Deunan in a way that I think takes away from their characters more than it adds

AND they fucking whitewashed Briareos in the flashback, so I am ALREADY like

Japan.. ....why are you the way that you are?

paul is a 100% a boob man OMG

and, also, WHYYY do I think he's the type that whines . theres a prema video where they're trying to guess the circuit blindfolded and when they ask paul to confess to kimi that hes been cheating he starts to literally WHINEEEEEEEEE those 30s lives in my mind rent free and im not kidding

!!!!!! im HOLLERING!!!!!!!!!!!! that's one of my fave vids ever omg and paul freaking whining is like music to my ears istg. it's so on point for him too.... i wrote a little about that in the paul nsfw alphabet that i never finished 🫠🫠 but yeah like we've been through, i think he has a slightly submissive streak and he enjoys being teased. and to hear those sweet sounds as rewards when you tease him, or kiss him with a bit of force, or roll your hips on his.... 😶

bc i saw some posts about mics car and bc im normal about cars i will throw in some deeper analysis into his particular vehicle. read more bc i rambled

people who own vintage and/or foreign cars almost instantly have a community of people with similar interests who welcome them with open arms- all you have to do is drive up and you instantly have some new friends

the particular car that mic owns is not just a car- it's *the* icon of vintage american muscle cars. not an icon, *the* icon (chevy fans would argue but they are fighting a losing battle). driving a first generation fastback GT mustang is flashy and brings a lot of joy to people passing by- lots of smiles, waves, thumbs up, and general excitement

and finally, there is no owning an old car without having to work on it. it doesn't matter if you buy it freshly repaired or if you drive it home from a car show, there will eventually be an issue to fix. in terms of our timeline (i dont want to be getting into the whole timeline debate of bnha over this), mic's car is nearing 60 years old, and with old cars, especially old foreign cars, comes time spent

so how does this relate to mic?

I personally headcanon that in his early/mid 20s, he was pretty lonely. his best friend died, he and his friends probably got busy with hero work (plus radio for him), and never mind having to deal with the still fairly fresh grief. mic is also a known workaholic- he likes to have things to keep him busy, and what better way to keep busy then a new hobby?

then, the car itself. a first generation, GT mustang fastback. it certainly doesn't fit into japan's car culture- fast and nimble cars are generally more up their alley- but car people are car people. by owning a mustang, mic would be part of a more exclusive car "club" so to say, full of enthusiasts whose preferred car doesn't fit the local norm. it would help him meet people and make friends, even if they're only friends due to their interest in vehicles, it's something he might desperately need. plus, it's an eye catching car that brings a lot of joy to people- it's for these reasons that I think mic would seek out the particular car that he owns

anyways, a lot of my thoughts about mic and his mustang are centered around headcanons, but i think even without the use of headcanons, the car is still very fitting for mic. it's an iconic vehicle that can bring a lot of people joy and has a large amount of power behind it. restoring and maintaining a classic car is a time-consuming thing, and as a workaholic I'm sure that mic is up for the task.

i need people to understand something being flavorful does not equate to it being spicy. you can spicy food that is otherwise very bland. you cannot use chili peppers to cover up a lack of balance or depth in a dish. a fuck ton of chili peppers will not disguise the fact you didn't use enough salt.

My next adventure announcement is a real banger - I am going to JAPAN! Several days in Okinawa for the day job, and then some vacation time to sightsee around Tokyo. Who’s got two thumbs and is going to see a giant Gundam? THIS GOBLIN.

I am so fucking done y'all. I want to walk off the job so badly.

OR MAYBE GET FUCKING HIRED 🥲

(Not for lack of fucking trying as I gesture to my spreadsheet of 37 job applications I've sent out just this month.)

The company I work for literally laid off so many people they don't have enough folks to pack the orders that make them the money so they're expecting all of the office folks to come put in hours packing orders in the warehouse. AND they're not hiring seasonal help so I'll probably be doing that pretty much full time come November instead of...y'know, designing shit like I was hired for.

I want to scream. It's absolute hell on my self esteem to not be able to land a job in my given career even with 8 years of experience and applying for 4 months and be stuck working in this dysfuntional corporate hellscape of a company.

All I can do is keep surviving. 🙃 At least I have a paycheck I guess
