12. who starts a food fight in the kitchen?

cybertronians don't eat human food and therefore do not have kitchens but

literally everyone else on team prime that is not op13 /hj they're very orderly and niceys. however i will say that while they're unlikely to start a food fight, there are nonzero chances that they would join the food fight if started by someone else. especially if they were hit first. or to hit ratchet. jk unless

23. who thinks they are not good enough for the others love? and who's more afraid of losing the other? who thinks they keep messing up, only for the other to tell them they don’t need to worry?

mmm. maybe. i picked the wrong ship for this JGSSGJFSH they actually don't have much of a problem with this. like maybe a little? at first? there is of course the natural "we're vastly different species, so chances of him liking me at all are low" but i think it's mostly external forces that hold them back from really being with each other comfortably

i guess if i really dig deep into it, i might answer optimus as the one afraid of messing up because he has whole centuries of war under his belt. having lived for that long, his laundry list of shame and regret is just longer by default. he feels bad about the war putting them in constant danger, and that thirteen got involved lowkey because of him 🙂‍↕️ but it's not like. that big on him and more on their circumstances.

when takahara absorbed the magic from the forbidden door, he obtained inhuman powers, among a few other things. one of the 'other things' could be read as somewhat of a curse? because ever since absorbing that magic, people have started to forget him

people he knew well and were close with weren't quite affected, of course. but acquaintances would find that his face, name, and voice have blurred in their memory. if an old classmate hadn't talked to him in a few months, there's a good chance they're right on the cusp of forgetting him altogether

he and solomon made a talisman to give to people that's charmed to help them remember. and to ease takahara's nerves a little. it's hard to go through life everyday having to remind everyone who you are. especially as someone in diavolo's inner circle

but he supposes it helps a bit during investigations, that people do not remember his face. but it keeps him up at night sometimes, wondering if he'll wake up the next morning only to find that his entire family had forgotten him

🧵thread: what would your self insert wear in the source your f/o is from? it can be multiple outfits or just one!

ooooh takahara has a lot of outfits lmao. i have yet to make better refs though 😭 so ill take the time and ramble about it instead im so sorry about how long this is HDDJFFJ

in s1 and 2, takahara's casual outfit is his signature red hoodie, grey pants, red sneakers (very random but important design note: after lesson 6, he always keeps the hood up because he feels like it better protects his neck :) ) it's very unassuming and comfortable, as that's how he hoped to be perceived

god wait that is so strange to say lmao not to tangent but 🥹 wow character development 🥹🥹 "oh no! guy who used to try and fade into the background and avoid attention realizes that he likes attention and has been deprived of it his entire life! he begins to work on himself and become confident so he never has to hide anymore and- oh fuck he's been cursed to be forgotten by everyone" like wow okay 😭

i haven't thought about it much before (just a little hehe) but takahara's wardrobe changes actually kind of do reflect his character huh 🥺 yay. go me im so good at this

his rad uniform is very standard. as i said, bland and unassuming. the most customized thing in there his how he uses the red sash as a scarf (also to cover his neck). as time goes on, the scarf becomes a staple part of his design. and i like it a lot because it's still takahara signature color red (more vibrant than his hoodie though 👀), but unlike the hood, it doesn't quite hide his face. takahara in rad uniform is like. almost foreshadowing for how he feels at home in the devildom. how well he fits in there without even realizing

(extra: in s2, takahara very briefly has a white and blue outfit when he and lucifer visits takahara's family in the human world. it's meant to directly contrast his usual color palette AND emphasize the demeanor change/masking takahara does in his old life as a human compared to how he's grown to be like in the devildom

in s3, takahara's outfit is somewhat similar as s1, but he has a black shirt, red hoodie (it's a slightly brighter red and has a zipper left open this time), and a denim jacket. i don't think about s3 much but ive contemplated whether or not takahara should put down his hood this season

now s4 and onwards is the outfit i usually draw takahara in now :D which is the light brown trench coat, signature scarf, boots, and rad emblem! these are his work clothes essentially. since by this time, he's joined diavolo's inner circle 👍

EXTRA BONUS: his nightbringer outfit, which i do have a reference for hehe. takahara has like a million more outfits for different events, but these show up the most in the main story :)

bonus: do you have a weapon? if so, describe it or show it!

hmmmm i wouldn't call it takahara's weapon exactly, but he had a rapier during nightbringer. which plays a um. somewhat significant role, let's say 😁

🎵music: if you/your self insert had a theme song, what would it be?

THIIIIIIIS!!!! THIS ONEE!!!!!

hate me sometimes - stand atlantic is The takahara song and it has been his theme song since the moment i made him 🙏 amen. i will be talking for actual days if i was told to do lyric analysis about this song so that's all i will say

bonus: an extra song that fits your self insert and your f/o!

if you ask me to lyrically analyze easy to hate - waterparks i might actually kick your door and talk for a million years but just know. that this is THE ARIFER SONG. it is SO their song. and i adore it with my entire being

i viscerally remember when i was first writing up their story and making the playlist and being so stuck because i couldn't find a single song that fit them well enough. AND THEN THIS SONG JUST. RAN ME OVER 😭 all the lyrics about them source trust me

🔥flame: does self insert have an enemy? if so, who is it and why are they so hated? what was a particularly heated moment between you two?

my enemy is lucifer. i hate him because he exists and for a heated moment there was- (is shot)

um. serious answer idk 😔 like to be very frank takahara hasnt hated anyone more than lucifer HDSHHSG like seriously 😭 he's not. an emotional guy. there are people that annoy him or people that inconvenience him but they don't really matter to him i think. he just calls annoying people worms,,,

and like the question is so funny to me, you can't say HEATED MOMENT and ENEMY around takahara 😭 that's the fucking enemies to lovers guy 😭😭

☄️comet: what was a moment where your self insert really shined? this can be a badass moment, a moment where you felt important to the overall lore, or just a really cool and important moment!

takahara mattering to the plot? 😭 lmao since when /j

i think the first things that came to mind are all instances of takahara trying to protect his siblings (the grimoire incident in lesson 6, distracting lucifer so they can sneak up to the attic unnoticed, all the times he steps in front of them when he senses danger) 🤔 hm. yeah i genuinely find it hard to find a very specific moment where he "shines", as the question put it. it's just that a lot of his more important moments involve his relationships with others

the only moment i think he really has for himself is absorbing magic from the forbidden door but god that is so trauma heavy i don't know if im allowed to call that badass lmaoo 😭

🪼 - aquarium date time!! do either of you have a favorite sea creature you’re hoping to sea? (haha get it? cus sea instead of see.. okay.) are yall getting souvenirs? is your f/o trying to tap on the glass…

AQUARIUM DATEE:DD this would be very fun. what's going to happen i think is that i am going to geek out over all the cephalopods and he will nod along (with vague interest). i never considered what his favorite marine animals might be 🤔 i think he'd appreciate sharks. and the octopi as well. he'd probably take a selfie with all the funny fish he can find hfsghddh

i think he'd also really like more interactive spaces in the aquarium like. if he could pet a creature :) hikaru's very tactile so ngl i'd be more inclined to take him to a beach than an aquarium in the first place

yes we are getting souvenirs 100% we need to get some for kaoru and ageha,,,, which will then lead to getting souvenirs for the other hosts as well probably. that is, if they didn't already join hijack the aquarium trip themselves anyway

and yes he absolutely tapped the glass

🎂 - birthdays!! how do you and your f/o celebrate your birthday? how do you celebrate theirs? what’s the best gift they’ve given you?

aaah,,, hmm

come to think of it i haven't had a birthday with hikaru yet HDSGHDSGH like together. and vice versa. so i have to think on that

for me, i usually prefer being chill with my birthday and maybe we get ice cream. however i imagine tamaki will convince everyone to bombard our house to celebrate instead. which i don't mind either bc i like them so we can hang out :) it will be more or less the same for hikaru. we cannot escape this club no matter how old we get lmao
