I miss Buddy Daddies..

Screw it, I'll make a very long headcanon for it!

So you know how in the anime there is this running joke about Kazuki exaggeratedly crying or squealing anytime Miri does anything adorable or when Rei does something out of character for Kazu? Lol

Miri buying a crepe for him, Rei attempting at making food for Miri's sport's festival, or Miri's reason for picking her two papas during the race, etc. He becomes overdramatic, cartoonishly big crying eyes as he squeals in excitement or absolute awe. Just a proud stage stagemom and it makes you laugh at the wholesome hilarity of it all.

....So what if one time he does the opposite? : )

Let me give you a scenario:

Timeskip to 10 years later. They may have left their life of crime, but Kazuki's dramatic ass still stays intact, lol. He still happily gushes at their small yet meaningful accomplishments, he still dramatically wails anytime Miri or Rei do something nice for him, he's still the same overdramatic king that he is.

And then one random morning, Miri and Rei just want to do something nice for him. Not for his birthday, Christmas, anniversary, heck not even when he's dying from a cold or something. They just want to do something for him because they can.

Again, it's nothing much. It's just a simple breakfast in bed they want to prepare. It's eggs and bacon with a flower in a vase because it's cute. When Kazuki wakes up, both his partner and teenage daughter simply greet him a good morning and present to him a little breakfast they made for him. They anticipate the overreaction he usually does, the dramatic crying or exclaims, but it doesn't happen.

Well the crying happens, but it's not boisterous or loud. Instead it's just Kazuki quietly looking at the meal before him with tears just slowly falling on his cheeks, a face filled with shock yet still so subtle. The two of them are confused, worried. Did they do something wrong? Why is he crying so silently?

Even Kazuki himself wonders why he's crying? He should be happy, or better yet he should all over the place by now. He is happy. So immensely happy of this gesture. And yet, his first reaction was to cry.

Maybe it's because of the simplicity of it all. Everything at this moment was just so domestic to him, he never fully stopped to grasp the idea that this is their whole life now: Working in their very own diner with a daughter he grew to love and a partner who he learns to trust over the past 13 years they knew each other. They were a family. He never thought he could have a family. He never thought he would be given another chance to even have one again. He thought his late wife and unborn child would be the last experience of normalcy and love he could ever experience again.

And yet here he was with that chance, and he would be damned fool to let go of that chance, to cherish this new life. He quietly thanks Miri for making his life so much livelier, he thanks Rei for never giving up on them when he himself nearly did, he thanks them both for filling his heart with so much unimaginable amounts of love and care.

And so he looks at the two worried individuals before him, and he gives them a soft smile through his tears. He whispers to them that he loves their surprise. He loves them.

Miri does not hesitate to throw herself into his arms, softly giggling as she does it. Rei's not too far behind as he sits down by his side, leaning his body towards him as he wraps an arm around his shoulders, just like how he usually does it to Rei. Kazuki holds them close in his arms and in his heart.

Rei and Miri share the same look; The reaction was unexpected, but they call it a mission accomplish anyways.

...Anyways I love them-

i know for a fact that dr ratio would be a fucking NUISANCE during a trial

Random idea: What if we just made Bennett and Aventurine as a duo? What then? Lol

Put two different sides of luck together to make chaos.

Bro I swear if Kaitou Joker meets Lyney from Genshin he'd 100% laugh his ass off at him like he's an asshole he'd totally do that

I don't know why he'd do that he just would because he's that much of a bastard

There are two facts about Shadow/Cyan that I feel like is a little bit overlooked in fan creations, be visual artwork or writing:

According to the first of the two CD dramas, Shadow apparently practices his diction religiously in front of the mirror, presumably as a part of whatever daily routine he maintains.

While a specific nationality is never mentioned (par for the course for all but a very few of the characters of this series, actually), something that is true for all adaptations of the series as we know it is that Cyan and his sister are from some smallish, backwater sort of town with very little contact with the outside world. In short, he's a bumpkin.

We already knew that a lot of how he presents himself is an affectation; the practice with his articulation really isn't that big of a stretch, given what we already knew about him. He's probably somewhere between "refined villain" and "rough antihero" archetypes, as per the sorts of media he seemed to enjoy (I wonder if the village procured bootleg DVDs for the children's entertainment, or something?). Him behaving as a showy (and let's not forget, edgy) character for his own gratification is utilized fairly well by the fan base, I reckon. But something that hasn't been tapped, even if it has been acknowledged in a few places, is that he came from a small town; an isolated community that probably relied on farming and livestock.

Thusly, I propose a couple of things with regards to how people can approach writing his character:

Give him his moments of proper articulation, a little to the point of excess, depending on how powerful/enigmatic/important he is trying to make himself appear. (Or if he's just in an exceptionally good mood, already feeling kind of cool, etc.)

Have this facade slip sometimes; whether it be because he is tired, relaxed, or suddenly surprised and/or taken aback, give him some kind of country vibe. If I was talking really hardcore, you'd have him speak in whatever native language you headcanon that he speaks, but specifically a suitable rural regional dialect; giving him anything from an exaggerated written country drawl, to a noticeable yet moderately informal dialect would do, though. I get that it'd be awfully hard to accurately depict what you've never heard before, and might not be very well documented.

All of this is just for fun, mind. Generally speaking, it's something that I'd like to do myself, provided I can remember to do it, and that the opportunity arises to insert it into one of my stories.

Weird crack idea: Dr. Ratio as Korosensei.

Instead Korosensei's wacky and playful nature on how to kill him, this time it's just Ratio constantly scolding his students on the proper ways of killing him and how they're just going to end up dead instead if they don't hold that gosh darn knife properly-

"No. When you aim your gun, at least aim it at me. You must act quick" *proceeds to just teleport in the speed of light*

" Maybe you are actually succeeding at killing me after all. Because I'm being internally destroyed by the sheer foolishness that is your knife throwing skills. At this point, you're just going to stab a poor civilian if you keep this up."

*irrated sigh* "If you want things done, you got to do it yourself." *Then proceeds to give them an in depth lesson on the weakness of an Octopus*

But imagine the backstory of Ratio in this AU though. An experiment gone wrong caused by the foolishness and incapability of the researchers, and unfortunately Ratio became the unlucky victim of this scenario. Now a disfigured Octopus creature with a ticking bomb that could even rival the destruction of a stellaron, left to suffer the consequences of their actions, Ratio knows he doesn't have that much time left.

But if he's going to die, he wants to die knowing that he achieved one of his goals: To teach. To cure the foolishness of the world. If not the world, then at least the students he grew fond of. Although irritating and stubborn they can be, he would be a fool to say that he wasn't proud of how far they have come.

His last dying wish: To teach them of their potential.

Basically: A grumpier and stricter Korosensei. Lol

I will admit, I did not think about the implications that Ratio is essentially teaching students how to KILL, as well as putting them in dangerous scenarios where they are armed. He is by far a morally upright than Korosensei, so I need to come up with a valid reason for why he's teaching students how to kill him. Lol
