Eh… perhaps… Getting some sort of Higher Education has always been an intention of mine. It would just depend on what exactly I’d try and study.

However… If I weren’t to become a hero, I’d probably try and do something in entertainment… Becoming an actor or a director, something like that. Perhaps something in advertisement. Perhaps working for some sort of Public Relations office if I could manage the stress of it.

gonna do this ooc because mono wouldn’t know shjfsfg

SO the thing about kimiko being Judgey is because, well, she was raised with exceptionally high expectations that she fell VERY short of... so she kind of has this constant weight on her shoulders keeping in mind all these things she was supposed to be. so, her outlet for that is to also push those expectations on other people, because at least her failure is predetermined. she’s not as lucky as the rest of the world, so the fortunate ones around her SHOULD be able to meet those expectations and easily, at the very least.

SO, without further adieu.... some opinions... that kimiko very helpfully supplies to monoma after meeting his friends:

kuroiro:

hates his posture, thinks he’s too quiet, he has a look that she can appreciate the aesthetic of (it’s good to be fashionable) but she finds him rather dreary and wishes he’d do something with his hair rather than keeping it looking like a ragged mop. appreciates how polite he is though!

kendou:

listen, she knows kendou and knows she and mono are besties but god she wishes she’d do something with her... everything. she doesn’t like her look at ALL. she’d be kind of just really wanting kendou to be more feminine... dies every moment she doesn’t just see her with her hair down... but she thinks she’s smart! she thinks she’s wise above her years, actually. she just doesn’t think anyone will take her seriously if she’s... like that... but she wants her to succeed, especially since she’s class rep! dress for success, kendou...!!!

pony:

thinks she’s dumb and dull SHDFKBSDJHG very unimpressed with the ditzy act... and let’s be clear here, she thinks it’s an act, anyone who can get two languages down that fast has to have some intelligence so she really needs to stop acting so spacey >:O one of her least favorites tbh r.i.p.

kinoko:

very................................. unimpressed. girl, the hair. you tried. again, she doesn’t like hyper/ditzy types so ultimately she’d just be very irritated in kinoko’s presence and would want her to stop acting like a cartoon character. another least favorite u_u

setsuna:

thinks she’s spunky...! she appreciates the attitude, she’s a little out there for her tastes but she does like her. pretty much, setsuna’s whole vibe is what she wishes kendou would be more like and she’d compare the two constantly. the fact that she’s one of the recommended students definitely helps, she’d hold her in very high esteem (though, mind you, the second she hears about any failures from her, she’s GONNA be bashing her)

shiozaki:

kimiko ADORES her... until she opens her mouth kfhsjf and then she’d find her very haughty and diss her on what she would consider a superiority complex like constantly. but she finds her very elegant and beautiful and striking

kamakiri:

s a v a g e.... she doesnt like him >:O she’d feel like he’s setting a bad example for her mono!!! not just a bad example but he just doesn’t fit the image of the kind of people monoma should surround himself with (psst... shiozaki does)... VIOLENT.... no >:T she doesn’t like him at all and does not want them to spend time with each other, but she’d allow it after monoma defended kama to her u_u

Extravagant couldn’t even describe it.

Monoma’s mouth hangs ajar as he walks into the main hall, his heels echoing loudly across the gloriously golden space around him. The sight is absolutely overwhelming, eliciting a childlike wonder as he marvels at the ballroom around him. His grandfather had really, really outdone himself. 

Being put in charge of this year’s gala had to be one of the greatest honors his family had been allowed in his lifetime, and though he’s only done so much to help, pride swells up in his chest. Everything is perfect. Chandeliers garnish the ceiling, filling the space in a warm and welcoming light. Everything seems to shine and sparkle, gold trimming decorating every surface, the walls intricate, the floor below them glossy and new. It almost seems a whole country could fit between the halls, where an otherwordly feast was set up and steaming, and the dining room itself, an area where rows and rows of tables covered in delicate cloth could be found. Somewhere far off, there’s a stage, and, like magic, a small orchestra begins to play a soft, serene harmony as he acknowledges them.

It’s wonderful.

He’s still staring up at the ceiling when he feels a hand on his shoulder and turns, beaming as his grandfather appears at his side. The man returns his smile and slides a tall, bubbling glass of champagne into his hand, holding up his own with relish. “Long ways coming, this one,” Naito murmurs with a sharp grin. 

Monoma can only nod, happiness overflowing as the most elegantly dressed of men and women started to file into the room around them. Chuckling at a joke only he seems to know, Naito starts to steer his grandson towards the door. 

I...

I just meant I was... a clingy child... very... dependant... I have so many early memories of me clutching onto my mother’s dress and I really hate it... 

I would feel so lost without... ... someone.
