Bear’s Grandma knit some tiny clothes for the yokai

Blazion and Tattletell especially loved their gifts, Blazion only taking his off for washing, and Tattletell carefully putting on her scarf anytime she went out

Ah, thank you! 

And more fun headcanons for you for the Bear AU:

Bear’s watch is on his wrist like Nate’s, but to match Bear’s aesthetic, it’s a far more beat up looking watch: think tape holding bits of it together

Bear’s ancestor (grandfather) is on his mom’s side

Bear’s mom, while partially doubting her kid because yokai just seem unlikely, does remember her own father having a similar watch, and a similar fascination with yokai

As a result, she asks her own mother for her dad’s old books on yokai and reads through them and shares them with Bear to be supportive

After several years (think: Bear’s late teens), she finds a dusty old lens and peeking through it, finds out the truth. She continues to happily spoil Jibanyan

Bear’s grandma, knowing her husband was right all along (and with a lens of her own), knits and sends Bear extra hats and scarves for his yokai friends.

Bear finds the crank-a-kai and releases Whisper.

Bear is far more chill than Nate about befriending yokai. Unlike Nate, Bear’s style is based more on sharing food with yokai rather than battling.

Instead of Jibanyan, Bear’s main “friend” is Blazion. 

Bear still befriends Jibanyan, Jibanyan just lives more downstairs with Bear’s mom, and is less likely to be called.

Bear tells his parents. While they don’t fully believe him, they are supportive (especially since weird things keep happening around their house).

Bear easily makes friends with lower rank yokai through empathy and kindness. 

Along with Whisper and Blazion, Bear is often seen with Tattletell, carrying her on his shoulder and helping her with her shopping.

Blazion is constantly found exercising on the roof outside Bear’s room.
