#yukiko's father

[chipsncookies]

Dad suspicions... he's conflicted either way

[t4tadrienette]

Every time they put Yusaku Kudo in an episode is always to show how Shinichi still has a long way to go as a detective, and it annoys me so much. He literally shows up, talks about how he figured out the case long before Shinichi, and then he just goes away. Either shut up or go back to neglectland, I really don't care

The parents that would probably do better at being parents than Shinichi’s actual parents.

Is this official art? It looks like official art.🤯

AkAm parent behavior

[barblaz-arts]

I've come back to drop some Next Gen Nevermore lore, this time about Sora and Regine's parents 💕

Yukiko Toriyama

Because of my love for parallels, she's a doctor to match the adult characters in the show (Principal - Weems/Bianca; Sheriff - Galpin/Walker). She's a surgeon though, not a therapist like Kinbott, but still a doctor!

Yukiko's around Wednesday and co's age, so she was also in Jericho High when they were in Nevermore. She has a huge respect for Outcasts, thinking that they are very cool. In fact, she thought this one siren girl that she first saw during Outreach Day was especially cool. Soon she will find out that her name is Bianca Barclay and that her classmate Lucas Walker will end up dating her.

She met Sora's father some time after graduating from high school. She fell for his confidence, and was especially impressed that he was an Outcast. Unfortunately she realized too late that he's all talk. When she got pregnant with Sora, his rich parents essentially sent her hush money, which she accepted and used to pay for med school. Sora's grandparents helped raise her while Yukiko finished her studies, so she wasn't as present as she probably should have been during Sora's childhood. She tries her best though, really.

Hugo Schuyler

Sora's father. He came from a rich and reputable family of psychics that specialize in spirits, also known as Herons. Because of his family's reputation, he developed a huge ego and has delusions of grandeur.

He's a glutton for attention, a trait that Sora unfortunately inherited as she also always makes an effort to fit in with "the popular crowd" among her peers. However unlike Sora who is ashamed of her outcast status and prefers to hide her power, Hugo has a superiority complex and overcompensates for his weak psychic abilities by being obnoxiously loud about his outcast status and his family's name.

He ends up starting a YouTube channel as a paranormal investigator after Nevermore. When he finds out he has a daughter, he's quick to head over to Nevermore and rope Sora into his paranormal shenanigans. No, it doesn't end up being a cute father-daughter bonding activity.

He sees both Wednesday and Enid as rivals. Wednesday for her formidable psychic powers (and reputation!), Enid for, well, her more successful YouTube channel(which isn't even hers, it's the Wolf Preserve's). Wednesday does not remember him from their high school days though, and Enid purposely mixes him up with Xavier when addressing him.

Vega hates him because he thinks aliens don't exist.

Erica Gutierrez

(I don't have her design and personality fully conceptualized yet, sorry)

Erica is Eugene's ex-wife and is a famous actress who started out when she was a teenager. She used to be a celebrity crush of Eugene's when he was in Nevermore, and dating and marrying her was a dream come true that sadly didn't last.

Erica makes an effort to see Regine when she can, and she usually has her daughter stay with her throughout the summer. Her fame comes with its own cons, particularly the excessive attention she(and by extension her family) gets hugely contributing to Regine's overly reclusive personality.

Erica had nothing to do with Outcasts before meeting Eugene and is every bit of a Normie. She and Wednesday never liked each other. She gets along well with Enid because she thinks Enid is normal enough when she isn't wolfed out. Enid likes her for getting her Michelle Yeoh's autograph and a video message as a birthday gift once. (Wednesday hates that Eugene's ex wife of all people showed her up that year)

None of the Nevermore student knew Regine's mother was a celebrity until Erica decided to give her daughter a surprise visit during Family Day(coincidentally the same day Hugo goes to meet Sora. It was a long weekend for the girls)

(masterpost for my AUs here)

EDIT: I ALMOST FORGOT!

Partial credit to @whitebeltwriter for coming up with Yukiko's background with me. I no longer remember which parts were my idea and which is hers, but pls know that it was a collaborative effort

[detshin]

Maybe because they ARE better than you, Toichi :)

(Have you ever found out about your cousin that's been alone and suffering for a long time that could've definitely used some support and help and your father just never told you about?)

I was thinking about adding the moms here and have Chikage stand with Toichi and Yusaku because she also sucks, and add Yukiko to the Shinichi and Kaito group because she also just found out about it... but then I got lazy lmao

You'll have to pry the Kudo and Kuroba family drama from my cold dead hands.

Audrey Hepburn and Shoujo Manga.

Something I wish more people talked about when discussing the history of shoujo manga is the influence of Audrey Hepburn. There are unfortunately very few sources in English aside from the shoujo manga Wikipedia page that cites Sabrina as the first romcom movie that inspired the emergence of romcom as a genre in shoujo.

I found this interesting japanese article about the history of shoujo manga that says (translation is mine so it may not be perfectly accurate): "[Audrey Hepburn's] dark hair and petite, slender figure made her appearance closer to that of a japanese, unlike other more glamorous looking foreign actresses. Her looks, paired with outfits made by Givenchy, quickly made her a fashion leader in Japan."

According to this article, the manga "Ojousan Tantei Series" (1958~1961) by Imamura Tsutomu & Imamura Yoko (father and daughter) used Hepburn as inspiration for the fashion worn by the main character.

The article also names Mizuno Hideko as a shoujo mangaka inspired by Hepburn, who made a manga adaptation of a Roman Holiday in 1966. According to this other blog, Mizuno's adaptation (originally published in an issue of Ribbon Magazine) didn't face copyright issues on release day but as time passed and copyrights became more strict, it was never printed again. That is, until 2007, when the copyright for the film expired and the manga adaptation was published in its own copy (as shown below).

And of course I can't not mention that it is also one of Mizuno Hideko's manga adaptations, this time of Sabrina under the title "Suteki na Cola", that is cited on Wikipedia as the first shoujo romcom.

There are other shoujo mangaka who were clearly inspired by Hepburn like Tani Yukiko (most obvious in her fashion illustrations and her various illustrations of Hepburn) and Chikae Ide who made a manga adaptation of Green Mansions following the release of the movie, which starred Hepburn (and Tani Yukiko made the cover for that adaptation..!)

Audrey Hepburn's legacy is truly impressive and, chances are, without her remarkable popularity amongst japanese teen girls at the time, the shoujo romcom as we know it today may have only been popularized later !

Okay.... Let's analyze what happened in dcmk these last few weeks. Obvious SPOLIERS will be commented so you know.

> Appearance of Aoko's mother in Magic Kaito.

Where was she all this time? Why did she never appear or even show a sign of life? She didn't even call her daughter on her birthday... She appears so oblivious to everything, she didn't even know who Kaitou Kid was since her husband has always been obsessed with trying to catch this thief for YEARS. It seems like Gosho just randomly placed her in the story without trying to connect with the canon, it's almost as if she was a character outside of her original manga.

> Film 27 and its breaks in logic and common sense.

After all these years, Gosho decided to go against everything he had already said and made the Kaishin to be cousins, not only ruining a unique relationship (whether you shipped or not) but also bringing plot holes and contradictions in the story. If they are cousins ​​what's the excuse for them never trying to even interact before? Why was it that when Yukiko first met Kaito, she never acted like she was related to her? The same with Toichi, she always talked about him as just her teacher and NOTHING more than that, it doesn't make sense to put that in the story now. Why did Kaito never even have support from his family? Not even showing up at Toichi's symbolic funeral? How come Yusaku never went to talk to his late brother's family, even if he knew the truth KAITO DIDN'T KNOW...

No one even considered his feelings...

> All the bullshit involving Kaishin.

The biggest problem for me about them being cousins ​​is not just because of the ship but because of all the history and construction they had. It's as if everything that's different about them is summed up in the simple fact that they're related. But Kaishin has always had something unique, something that Gosho himself defined as "a mysterious bond". Them not having the slightest type of relationship made everything so unique, a connection that only the two of them could have together, one would easily understand the other even though they were complete strangers. Now I feel like they want to throw that away.

> TOICHI KUROBA AND MY HATE FOR HIM.

Gosho had already said that Toichi was possibly alive but the confirmation brought me a wave of anger and contempt that I had never felt for any other dcmk character (even bo). Let's think about Kaito in this whole story:

• lost his father when he was just a child and is still traumatized by it today.

• for 8 FUCKING YEARS he discovers that his father's death was never an accident but a murder.

• His father was actually an internationally wanted thief who was after a precious stone capable of bringing immortality.

• he steps into his father's shoes as KID and decides to try to find out for himself what happened to his father, who killed him and why.

• now there is a criminal organization that thinks he is the KID who didn't really die and they are trying to kill him once and for all.

• he decides to put himself at risk looking for Pandora, being something belonging to the organization and the police themselves.

• a lot of people hate him, regardless of whether he hurts people or not.

• more and more he becomes more and more removed from everything and becomes burdened with the KID charade.

• his own mother doesn't care about him, on the contrary, it seems like she likes to make things even more difficult for her son (she disguised herself as her dead ex-husband just to screw with her son's head, that's sickening to say the least).

• everything Kaito does is because of his father's murder, he never wanted to be KID, he never liked stealing, he doesn't do any of that for pleasure (except when it involves a certain mini detective but that's not the focus now ).

• and in the end his father was ALIVE all this time, doing who knows what while his son was risking his life because of him... BRO...

This whole thing is insane. And not in a good way.

[dracrownian]

My general headcanon for Rei for a while now is that he has like surface level knowledge of a lot of different things, but really only delves deeper if it’s relevant to a case or something.

And stuff like celebrities and pop culture are very firmly in the “I do not have time for this” category. Even local celebrities. (He knows Yoko, of course, mostly because of Kogorou. That’s about it.)

And I was more or less proven at least partially correct from his reaction to seeing Yuusaku in person.

And it makes me cackle even more because this is the world-renowned mystery novel author father of the person he’s supposed to be investigating. Yuusaku would likely have shown up on any internet search about Shinichi. Rei has done absolutely no investigations as of this point.

But also? “He” was literally on the television giving a speech at an award show the last time Rei was in the house. (Yes, it was Yukiko but he couldn’t know that. But also he was very distracted at the time with the real Yuusaku disguised as Okiya, so I can kind of forgive him for that one. Still hilarious though.)

Also this is like the only time we see Rei this caught off guard. I love it.

[smolfoxbab]

trying to craft up another swap au don't look at me (but do look actually I want to cook)

Thoughts I already have:

Shinichi was still interested in detective work at the start, until his father's murder had a path-altering effect on him and he instead took up the persona of the thief from his father's novel, The Night Baron

Yusaku is dead fr there is no Toichi-faking-it nonsense going on

He was killed for something written in his one of his manuscripts? maybe? unpublished/ only one copy work that was stolen? Shinichi steals documents mainly instead of jewels? Ends up uncovering a lot of corruption in the city that way?? Workshop idea idk yet

Yukiko is alive still?? Missing maybe

Like the Night Baron in the book, he will kill if he feels he has to, and therefore has less of a positive reputation than Kaito Kid (still has a fan club though, of course)

Unlike Kaito who had a real-life figure to follow and model himself after, Shinichi only has what his father wrote, and therefore has to come up with and improvise several things about his persona on his own (main weapons, changing + designing his mask, signature, etc)

The pen-knife is in reference to Yusaku's writer profession, and also a spin on "the pen is mightier than the sword"

He has other tools I just haven't worked those out yet

Doesn't always write in codes but tries to incorporate them into his heists somehow

Kaito isn't entirely a detective he just wants to be a magician but somehow just happens to keep solving crimes (not sure who's shrinking in this AU if either of them)

Persona request: Mitsuru, Yukiko, and Makoto get caught making out with thier M!S/O please.

I have nothing clever to say here. Uhh...sorry about the inactivity? I finally bought Gigantic and was re-living my middle school years of playing the shit out of it so that's been distracting me.

-Getting Mitsuru to open up to intimacy is quite the undertaking, to say the least. Out of everyone here she's the hardest to crack due to a previous relationship that wasn't exactly ideal to say the least.

-Frankly she probably doesn't even get completely comfortable with the idea of 'making out' until after the events of P3. Luckily she does manage to grow in your relationship and get much more confident.

-A particularly long, draining day of running the Shadow Operatives has Mitsuru exhausted and she looks forward to nothing more than having some alone time with you to recharge.

-She never once thought of intimacy with her old fiance (I can't add accents on Tumblr, ffs), so she's completely inexperienced despite being the one who's not in their first relationship here.

-After so long of her being averse to intimacy you're more than happy to attempt it. However just as you two are inches apart there's a knock on the door.

-It's...Akihiko, coming to give his reports for the day. Thankfully he's pretty romantically clueless so it's easy enough to trick him that you two weren't doing anything important. Though that also lead him to interrupting you two.

-Oh well, there's always next time.

-Yukiko might not look it, but she as a bit of a rebellious streak hidden deep inside her, and that tends to come out the most when it comes to dating.

-It's nothing too crazy of course, but she can't help but feel that sense of adventure, of exploring what it truly means to be in love with someone else.

-Of course if anyone else were to find out she'd probably drop dead on the spot but it's something you'll need to accept as part of her if you wanna keep this relationship going.

-That being said, eventually the time we'll come when she wants to try making out, namely when the Investigation Team takes a visit to the Amagi Inn. When everyone's about to wind down for the night and go to sleep she drags you off somewhere private.

-It's about to start getting really steamy when you suddenly hear footsteps behind you and both your hearts simultaneously stop. It's Yu. He was looking for Yukiko to ask where the bathrooms were, certainly not expecting to find you two getting frisky.

-At least he acts cool about it. He's perfectly capable of ignoring what just happened and acting like he didn't interrupt anything important, and truthfully, you'd both rather it be him than anyone else. Only God knows if it was Teddie what that stupid bear would do...

-Out of all the ladies so far, Makoto is by far the most romantically inept, and that's definitely saying something. She never even thought about dating until you came along because of how much importance she placed on studies due to her sister and father.

-It's only when she hears about the process of making out (how she does is up to you), does she want to try it, but there's no way in hell she has the confidence to do so.

-Chances are, you're going to have to lead the relationship into being more physically affectionate if you want it to get to that point at all. This is going to be much to her embarrassment, though.

-Makoto definitely won't turn you down though, she wants to keep you happy while dating her, and it's an opportunity to for her to grow in your relationship together.

-She doesn't have the guts to do it anywhere that isn't her house where she knows you two will be alone. She'll still be super nervous but with your reassurance she'll slowly but surely ease into it.

-That is until there's a knock at the door. Sae appears to have come home much earlier than usual, causing you both to stiffen up immediately and scoot away from each other and do your best to act natural.

-Thankfully for the both of you Sae is just as romantically incompetent as her sister so it's easy to fool her, although she will be suspicious and probably keep a closer eye on you two from now on.

The Devil only Wants to be a Detective!

A Scarlet trio and 3/4 gumi fancomic

Synopsis

Kudou Shinichi, now more familiarly known as Edogawa Conan, has a HUGE secret that only his family knows. And no, it’s not about his shrunken demise at the hands of the Black Organization this time!

Since ancient times, the Kudou Family has lived as the only proof of the Devil clan ever existing. Though people have long forgotten about it, the family itself has not. The last devil from their family is Kudou Yusaku, and now that Shinichi is nearing his ‘Trial’, Yusaku and Yukiko have high expectations that Shinichi will be a powerful devil.

Well the problem is, when a devil is born, they have to overcome a ‘Trial’ before becoming a full-fledged devil. The Trial itself is tasked when one is deemed strong enough by Fate to carry its burden, but it was almost impossible to guess what you'll be tasked with. His great-grandfather has to build the current Kudou mansion that contains a secret underground facility, while his father was told to abandon becoming a police detective and write a mystery novel about thieves instead. When looking at it like this, how does one expect he'll be great when Shinichi himself can't predict what Trial he would get? Some Fate indeed…

That’s why Shinichi tried to avoid it. He wanted to be a detective like Holmes! Not some devil! And then suddenly his Trial appeared out of nowhere. Apparently, becoming Conan is his Trial, and he also has to capture the Black Organization in a year's time?! How?!

Cover Illustration + Preview coming soon in January-February 2024!

He truly takes from her

[taldigi]

You said something about combining the faeries with the personas I think that has the potential to be fucking HILARIOUS.

Arsene bitching to Ren about how he’s brewing the coffee wrong in French.

Izanagi nagging Yu about his responsibilities and chores, because Izanagi is the creator deity and as extension, the father deity of all the gods.

Jiraiya using his skills as a ninja to sneak around Yosuke’s room and eat all his food.

Konohana Sayaka being weirdly reclusive and refusing to come out of Yukiko’s room until her “Prince” (Chie/Tomoe) gets her out herself.

Captain Kidd encouraging Ryuji to “plunder” Ren away.

damnit. You're fueling my desire to depict the personas as magical girl companion critters

im going to explode

Spoilers for Detective Conan movie 27

I literally left the detective conan fandom a DECADE ago, but a friend just told me about the "Toichi and Yusaku are brothers" reveal, and while I myself supported that headcanon when I was in the fandom, the fact it is now actually canon is so funny. The Kudo (Kuroba?) family is such a mess, I love them.

Like, oh yes, I'm Shinichi Kudo, teenage detective prodigy, and this is my mom, Yukiko Kudo, former teenage actress prodigy, and my dad, Yusaku Kudo, famous mystery novelist who often helped the police, and this is his TWIN brother, Toichi Kuroba, famous thief and illusionist kaito kid with whom my father had a full fledged rivalry and who's been faking his death for years, and his wife (my aunt) another famous thief, and my cousin, Kaito Kuroba, you'll never guess what he does (yes, he's another famous thief). And my gramps! Who divorced and decided that recreating the parent trap irl would be so f*cking funny.

Like truly a family of meddlers and drama queens, lol.

Edit because I forgot to add "My cousin, yes another famous thief, with whom I ALSO have a full fledged rivalry".

[barblaz-arts]

SORA TORIYAMA LORE!!!! Please, have patience w the questions,,,

1. How does Sora actually do in these videos? I can't imagine her sticking around in them long after she's already outed, considering the fact that Hugo would constantly be getting upstaged. Does she just pretend she's weaker than he is to avoid drama? Does she ham it up to get the boot asap?

2. Does Sora just always get the hot goss from this ghost. Is this a regular occurence. Is she, much the way she befriended Vega, eventually lowkey invested. Do they talk shit together. His dialogue was delightful and hilarious it was so good

3. I saw Hugo's face and I saw the word Youtube. How do you think his apology video would go and why do you think it would happen (my money is on poorly handled ghost privacy)

1) She actually has a lot of fun at first. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but Sora is a bit of a glutton for attention. It has to do with how she grew up, because she didn't have a father and Yukiko is always too busy to spend time with her. In her normie school, she sticks with the popular kids because she likes being looked up to and being seen as "cool"(similar to how Hugo was as a teen, except a lot more pathetic). So when she got the chance to show off a little to her dad and his "subscribers", it was one of the first instances in her life where she was proud of her powers. Eventually though the experience turns sour. Hugo was in this sort of in between in how he felt, because it was both an ego boost to have a child with such a strong psychic potential, but also a blow to his pride to be weaker than his own child. Either way, things happen, Hugo's hubris causes spirit mayhem, Sora is left to fix it. The shoot ends with Sora realizing that her father is too immature to be a parent, coming away with an even deeper appreciation for her mother. Wednesday would be there too, because it happens during Parent's Day, and it would be Wednesday's affirmation that Sora did a good job that Sora has that moment where she realizes maybe the psychic dad approval she was yearning for was in her friend's psychic mom that scares the shit out of her along the way ✨

2) Not really. More of a throwaway joke. I just like the thought that some of the ghosts Sora ignores are just pretty silly when she gets over the gore.

3) Probably. And for putting children's lives at risk for his content.

Sorry I took my time answering this. I have a semi-concrete outline of how I think an episode about Parents Day would go with them, and I planned to just have that be my answer. Everything you were asking about would have been tackled there. But maybe that was a bit of an overkill so in the end I didn't. If any of you are interested tho I can go ahead and show you the outline. Heaven knows i likely dont have the time to turn it into a comic. At least not the whole thing like I did with the Meet the Addamses AU
