For your consideration: Ikutsuki is from Inaba. Small town boy turned looney nihlist in the big city. No reason beyond him having a safehouse for Sho there lol

Lol I like it! Tho Shuji always gave me an impression he was from a big city, just by the way he carries himself. But it's cute! I love putting characters with ambiguous backgrounds into Inaba, makes it all tie together quite nicely :3

on pizza: what's takuto, zenkichi and shuji's fave flavours lol. Also, scale who's not smoking/infrequent smoker to on their way to getting lung cancer between them lol

was thinking about fantasy au again, and for absolutely no reason besides seals being cute and selkies having really sad stories about loss and longing, consider: selkie maruki
(mostly just thinking seals are so cute and silly and have boopable snoots and are friend shaped)

Aw shit I kept you waiting I'm sorry. Um... YEAH I think it's a cute idea. Idk much about selkies but I can see a selkie Taku. Also... seal Taku... god, so cute!!

I saw you mentioned Loki as Shuji's persona, what else would be a fitting persona for him do you think? Lol thinking of other gods of death there is Loki's daughter Hel I guess

There's Chernobog, slavic god of death and misfortune. I think he'd also vibe with Nurgle, one of the chaos gods in WH40K but that's copyright infringement lol His inspiration, Nergal, doesn't give Shuji tho. I'm also thinking maybe Atropos? I mean she and her sisters are the daughters of Nyx and Thanatos is their brother sooo... kinda perfect.

If zenkichi is a werewolf, what's maruki? (I suppose in some fantasy au without personae)

Shuji meets Maruki, what would they be like?

Anonymous Coward · 7mo

I don't think Shuji would feel any sort of remorse. On the contrary the closer he gets to the Fall the morw elated he becomes, more laser-focused. It's very apparent in how his demeanor changes the closer we get to the 12th shadow. He doesn't even joke anymore, he's serious bc he knows he can't mess this up. He wanted this for 10 goddamn years, he ain't backing out now. What you've described is very VERY AU and OOC, which is fine, the characters are mere barbie dolls you can play with however you want, but I, personally, can not imagine this, sorry.

What sort of drunk is Shuji? Or does he not drink much at all (guess not if he doesn't want to accidentally blab)

Well we already know he's a lightweight, and he also must be aware of it himself, so he probably doesn't drink much. If he does it's in the comfort of his home and by god he's miserable. Not "screaming crying throwing up" kind of miserable, but more "dear god i wish i was dead" kind of miserable. Tho these thoughts are never coherent and he can't control himself enough to even pick up a knife so most of the time he just falls asleep on the hard cold floor and wakes up the next day sore all over

Shuji's birthday: any thoughts about what he thinks of it/what he does? Also any thoughts as to when it is haha xD

No one knows when Shuji's bday is except Shuji himself and the HR department at the Kirijo Group. He, obviously, doesn't talk about it much and doesn't celebrate it at all, at least not publicly. Maybe he buys a slice of his favorite cake and eats it with a nice cup of tea. This is good enough for him. And when it comes to when his actual bday is I like to do the Katekyo Hitman Reborn thing when I transcribe their names as numbers, which, in Shuji's case, gave me two options:
January 4th (「い」->「一」->「1月」 and 「しゅ」->「死」->「4日」)
September 1st (「いくつき」 stylized to read as 「一(日)九月」)
+ one extra: April 4th (the edgy double 「死」variant)

Why do you think Strega never brings up what a traitor Shuji is to SEES 🤔 Or am I missing something and they only got to know of his true intentions after his death? This is mostly because they protected some of the Shadows, thinking their elimination would end the Dark Hour, yet knew of Shuji's deceptive nature with SEES? It's really wild to me how even Mitsuru cants seem to dig up Kirijo group dirt lol

They probably weren't aware of Shuji's intentions and the truth about the Fall cuz, apparently, NO ONE but Shuji was. Which is kinda wild. Tbh both Strega and Mitsuru were quite young so they might not remember all the details. However I still can't comprehend how granddaddy Kirijo managed to hide smth as huge as the true purpose of his research from his own son is baffling to me. Really shows how they weren't even remotely close to each other

What kind of scientist do you think Shuji is? Like robotics, biology, chemistry etc?

Well idk what kind of scientist he is, but he's clearly very knowledgeable in robotics and, most likely, psychology. Considering he was one of the people who developed Evokers his specialty may lie with robotics/machinery/engineering with a side of passing interest in Karl Jung

thoughts on Shuji's love life in the past?

He's a virgin :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd
I honestly don't fucking know he might have never felt an intimate touch of a fellow human being or he used to get passed around the research team like a communal fleshlight

Anonymous Coward · 7mo

is there anyone Shuji particularly hates/despises?

I don't think so. He can get mildly annoyed (by takeharu's talk of making up for mistakes of the past for example) but he'll never show it. In order to hate one must first love. And Shuji doesn't love anything. That is except Death. So maybe the only thing he truly hates is life.

Anonymous Coward · 7mo

This honestly sounds like a great idea for a one shot fic. I love Ikutsuki and Takeharu's vampire shenanigans ehehehh
