I believe most fansies have ignored hotshot for far longer than my personal liking. I would like to say that the boy is my son and i love him with all my heart and soul. I will make you consider him. So now consider hotshot who adores flowers. Let me explain.
He loves the smell of them. He loves to look at them. I always like going around saying that hotshot came from a big family with 11 older sisters. Imagine the excitement he has every year when its one of his sister’s or mom’s birthday and he gets to pick out flower bouquets to give them with personal hand written/drawn cards. Over the years, he would take note of all their favorite colors and flowers and preference on boquets. He’d always try to give his father flowers, and it’s not like he didn’t appreciate it, moreso he simply doesn’t like flowers as gifts for himself. Birthday’s however, sometimes require a long time to wait. So hotshot upped his game and tackled valentines and mother’s days and anniversaries (with their personal partners of course)
This hc is very modern au centric btw don’t mind me.
He also loves tattoos and has littered tattoos all across his body. Not to achieve a full body look, but just enough for decoration. And all his tattoos are in fact flowers. One of his favorites is his floral tattoo that wraps around his whole neck, like some sort of wrapped boquet. It was red roses, because as basic as it is he still loves them nonetheless. He kept the coloring simple within the striking black lineart, simply shaded red rose petals and green leaves with the occasional thorns. The thorns are more prominent on the back of his neck. To name a few more of his tattoos, there’s a long drawn dark purple orchid flower slightly wrapping around his right arm from just below his shoulder to his wrist. It’s a stem with multiple orchids and was given enough space between each other to leave out a lot of naked skin. There’s also another design on his stomach a bit to the side which is a knife embezzled in a bush of thorny roses. Let’s be real, as much as he is soft and gentle he’s still tough and craves violence. Then there’s also one on his upper left thigh, daisies, which can arguably be said slowly creeping up to almlst reach his waist (purposely planning out the irony of putting a flower design that symbolizes purity and innocence on his thigh lmaoo yeah i’m not getting into that i’ll let yall’s imagination run its course) His second favorite tattoo has got to be the one on his back. It’s two nearly identical tattoos on either side of the back of his shoulders. It’s a carefully designed tattoo of the Korean national flower, the mugunghwa or the rose of sharon sticking out from their individual branches. It was one of the things he does to keep himself touch with his Korean heritage, seeing that he’s the only sibling that has spent the smallest amount of time growing up in Korea. He’s got a couple more tattoos, mostly floral themed but also a few miscellaneous item designs but this is as much as i can think of rn.
Other than gifting, hotshot also loves receiving flowers. He isn’t shy about his love for flowers, but admittedly only a handful of ppl knows abt it. Bcs let’s be real, no one expects a nearly 6’6 bulky athletic gym body dude to be excited to be given flower boquets. He has been teased a couple of times by the people around him who is considered just an acquaintance (i.e. random classmate or neighbor), but with one death glare at them and they back down. That’s how scary he can be. His friends (spot, albert, and the rest of the brooklyn kids) will gift him regular boquets on the special occasions (i.e. birthdays or graduation). But ike,his beloved boyfriend, has always tries to one up himself from flower boquets. Like yeah he still gives hotshkt regular flower boquets, but if he can help it he will give him the most unique boquet. Some of hotshot’s personal favorites has got to be the hot wheels boquet, the strawberry chocolate covered boquet, the 20 dollar bill boquet, and the assorted sweets and chocolate boquets. (I’ll let yall imagine what each of these look like lolz) but at the end of the day, hotshot loves flowers. Give this man flowers. Now.
