- Shinki never actually “came out,” the way he was raised by Gaara was more of a “love whoever you want,” because Gaara would 100% be the wokest parent ever.

- Araya is a huge picture/memorabilia person, he’s got to keep some sort of trinket from important points/moments in his life.

- Shinki isn’t much of a keepsake person, but anything he’s given he will keep dear to him.

- Shinki gets super bothered with young children and is super awkward with them, it’s the one time he lets down his shield, he just stands there awkwardly, but kids are drawn to him like is iron sand.

- Araya is super good with kids, but they tend to be afraid of him and stray away

- Araya fell first, Shinki fell harder.

- Team Shinki is often found just wandering around the village, sometimes up to in-village missions but they’re also found just taking strolls around the village, Yodo and Araya do most of the talking while Shinki just listens, making his own remarks every now and then.

- Shinki would be a writer while Araya and drawer. In an AU they’d write and illustrate together.

- Shinki tans, Araya just burns.

- When ever they go on missions deep into the desert on the extremely hot days Shinki makes sure to pack extra sunscreen, when asked about it he’d just say “my father gave me extra,” Araya would believe him but Yodo would send him a look.
