i flipped a coin so carsten

What they smell like: sweat and iron, and his own musk a little.

How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc): on his back, lightly and sporadically.

What music they enjoy: his favourite is just a person singing a soothing song with a guitar by a fire.

How much time they spend getting ready every morning: not much. mostly just a shower and a shave if he has access to them.

Their favorite thing to collect: it’s not as if he can carry much with him. maybe he has a little book of quotes or drawings.

Left or right-handed: left.

Religion (if any): nah.

Favorite sport: he never really had sports to play as a kid. mostly just kicking around a ball and making up rules.

Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc): i don’t know, i could see him being a connoisseur of the coffees in little diner saloon type places.

Favorite kind of weather: overcast, especially with thunder.

A weird/obscure fear they have: probably the fear of the dark lasted a lot longer than he’d like to admit. also i can imagine him having bad experiences with several kinds of animals.

haha yes of course

character i’d like to see in a flower crown carsten. lear. probably arih too.

character i’d like to see have an emotional breakdown carsten, always. and i’d love to see kaeja or harper get really mad.

character i’d like to see get punched in the face issac hahaha. or kobayashi. ugh.

character most likely to sing along to journey songs in the car minnie. so much.

character most likely to step on lego saule or carsten.

character who refuses to pull over and ask for directions on roadtrips carsten and saule. not that i can see issac doing it either, unless it involves flirting with a girl.

character who always stubs their toes on the washing machine carsten…..

character who changes their starbucks order ten times minette omfg. lear is quite patient. also hipster modern au issac forever, but he wouldn’t change his order, he would just have a super complicated one and pressure the baristas until they cry.

character who shows up late for everything minnie.

character who is the worst kisser that’s a good question actually. i can’t imagine saule is any good??? i don’t know i think everyone would be rather average

character who takes 45 minutes showers minette. issac.

painful headcanon: aren’t they all. uhm on the languages thread, arih had found a resource for german and she was planning to surprise carsten with some of the phrases she learned, but never had the chance.

love headcanon: arih likes carsten’s hands. she wishes she could have held them in public

death headcanon: arih forsees her death enough to put all her affairs in order. all the people in her village come to say goodbye. she appreciates it but she wished some other people were there too

family headcanon: arih had been wanting to move back to japan for a long time before kobayashi finally died. she just didn’t feel she could deal with the fight she would get if she tried any earlier.

LAUGHS WELCOME

violent headcanon: carsten has anger issues obvs, his usual reaction to getting angry is removing himself from the situation and to the shooting gallery asap but when it’s more difficult to get away he tends to end up attempting to hide bloody knuckles from arih. she always finds out.

appearance headcanon: carsten has a pretty striking face–angular nose, strong jaw–but his eyes are kind of droopy and tired-looking and completely out of place.

friendship headcanon: carsten’s major language of love is gifts. he likes picking up things for his friends–things so inconsequential he won’t get embarrassed sometimes, like a news article he thinks someone would like, usually. sometimes he gives them more significant things, but he tries to do it when they’re not looking. most of them have the grace to never bring it up.

childhood headcanon: carsten was clumsy. mega clumsy. covered in band-aids. he worried his mother to death.

3. Are they open about their relationship? How do they feel about public displays of affection? at first they weren’t very open about it because kaeja wasn’t very comfortable with it even though minnie was like IM GONNA PUNCH ANYONE WHO’S NOT OK WITH IT but after a while pretty much everyone knew anyway and minnie’s enthusiasm was so overwhelming that kaeja gave in and she doesn’t mind pda anymore uwu

32. Do they ever get into trouble? Is it serious, or are they just mischievous? minnie is plenty mischievous so she gets into trouble for dumb things (‘let’s break into sea world!’ 'let’s just not go by the ticket checker guy, do you really want to spend money on the last twilight movie???’) and drags kaeja along. kaeja actually really enjoys the thrill of it though she would never admit it, and she definitely gives minnie hell whenever they get caught, because usually she gets off with a warning because of her cute innocent face.

37. How much would they be willing to sacrifice for the other? Any lines they refuse to cross? i think they would both go a long way although they both are willing to let each other cop to their little dumb mistakes because they respect each other’s independence. they would never hurt each other for any reason, either.

7. What annoys them the most about their partner? Would they change it if they could? arih wishes carsten would lighten up you can’t be this grumpy ALL the time. yes, she would change it. for carsten it’s something silly like she snores or she refuses to even TRY coffee ITS NOT THAT BAD HE LOVES COFFEE ITS BETTER THAN TEA WATER COME ON but he wouldn’t change it.

12. Is there a wedding? What was the proposal like? Any kind of honeymoon? for the purpose of this question let’s do an AU where they get married and not everything is terrible. carsten has been thinking about it for like two years and saving up for the ring for months and he asked kobayashi for his blessing and he was like no and carsten was like well you win some you lose some and ignores him. then he takes arih to the fanciest restaurant he can afford without getting physically anxious about the money and they go to a scenic spot carsten knows and he proposes and she’s like FINALLY and he’s like WHAT and she’s like oh nothing it’s fine yes i will marry you. they honeymoon in europe but there is no money left for any hotels or anything so they just kind of poor college student their way through europe for a few months, they enjoy it really.

15. How adventurous are they? ARIH IS VERY ADVENTUROUS carsten is not. at all. any adventures take a lot of convincing
